Kurapika's Nen Abilities EXPLAINED! | Nencyclopedia | Hunter X Hunter 

Kurapika, the protagonist that never was, but actually is right now.

tbh, i'd say Kurapika is another prodigious hunter and on par with Gon and Killua when in comes to raw talent. dude just mastered most of the nen basics in a few weeks and went on to bodybag a master enhancer.

I just gotta say, EMPEROR TIME is one of the most badass technique names

Kurapikas eyes turn red after he sees someone not subscribed to the NewWorld Review

Your explanation on how Kurapika obtained power is very insightful. Great power can only be obtained through immense sacrifice or immense training/talent. I like how the power system in HxH has no "free lunches".

What makes Kurapika attractive is his intelligence. He always think through things before he act, but sometimes he lets his emotion get the better of him that's why it is necessaey for him to have a dependable partner like Melody.

Kurapikas story is really sad to me. I'm not sure why, but I guess it's difficult for me to imagine someone as lonely as he is. He has made friends in the past, but I feel like he is pushing out everybody in his life that cares about him. The one difference I see with Kurapika and Chrollo is while Kurapika is somewhat stuck in this constant state of rage, Chrollo has found sort of a peace with the people he cares about. Chrollo is living a life of crime, but he at least found people who were similar to him. Kurapika is broken to the point where I'm not sure if anyone else in the world can completely connect to him. Even someone like Leorio has his limits to how much he can understand where hes coming from. I feel really sad because the last thing i want is for him to die alone, but i know that's the path hes going down. I need to stop thinking about it.

It's interesting to note that the longer he uses Emperor Time, the bigger the cost becomes. Since the less life force he has left, the more valuable each chunk of it becomes. Losing an hour of life isn't a big deal when you have 10 years left, but it becomes a big cost when you only have ten hours left. This may very well be something Kurapika planned for, since he knew he'd need more power the longer his vengeance quest lasted.

Kurapika: uses chain jail on season 1 hisoka Kurapika: Dies Hisoka: *BUNGEE GUM GOES S C H W I N G*

Kurapika became my favorite after a few rereads and watches of York new. His powers and position in the succession war is amazing seeing how he has to balance everything from protection of the prince and the phantom troupe coming while dying with his Nen powers eating away at his life. Hopefully leorio can come in to help as bill is an amazing partner but kurapika needs more trustworthy people to help.

My desperation for more of this series is stronger than Kurapikas hate for the spiders,

Kurapika exchanges his lifespan to gain extraordinary power as Netero gained extraordinary by doing years of training

Kurapnika seems like a generic "I'm gonna avenge my clan" character but he's just so likeable.

I think the saying "eyes are the window to the soul" applies for Kirapika as when his eyes go scarlet it's a version of him the only wants revenge and his normal eyes is his calm normal self

If Kurapika doesn't end up dying by the end of the series I'd be honestly surprised.

Kurapika should focus on producing some children first.... you know, keep the kurta alive before going off to get all this revenge

Kurapika is the MVP in HxH.

If he reaches the dark continent and gets hold of something like nitro rice he could effectively be able to use emperor-time without limit

I think it's possible Specialization during Scarlet eyes may be a unique ability of his entire clan.

Holy Chain is the most creative confirmed use of enhancement in the story in my opinion.

I genuinely don't know if Kurapika is less naturally talented than Gon or Killua. He definitely doesn't have the natural physical abilities that Gon or Killua have, however I see no reason to believe his Nen capabilities aren't the same one in a million degree as the kids. The only reason we know Gon and Killua are so talented is the word of Wing, a character who never met Kurapika. However, based on what Kurapika shows in comparison to Gon and Kill, I think it's highly likely Kurapika is MORE naturally talented than either of them and if Wing were to meet Kurapika he would promptly shit his pants

The best boy, the best character and the protagonist we deserve...

"When the heart achieves the right form emotions may be manifested " netero said this before he used zero hand against the king and this explains everything unexplained like Gon n Bisky transformations n cheetu conjuring the arrow with out image training or any kind of training when it comes to conjuring. it's likely a old forgotten form of nen that most people use unconsciously

Kurapika’s the kinda guy who would vent in real life to assassinate someone.

Togashi made a tragic character _just_ to distract you from the fact that Hisokas bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum.

He is an enhancer, manipulator, transmitter, conjurer, emitter, specialist but doesn't have the ability to subscribe how sad

the pic of kurapika in a suit and chains is so cool

I’m just imaging how much he would’ve leveled up if he fought the ants 🙆🏾‍♂️

I had watched a few of your videos before this one but this is the video that made me subscribe, your thorough explanations along with the absolute humor you inject meanwhile is so fantastic I just had to

Wooooo just finished 5 hours of English exam this is perfect to calm down thank you

This topic was covered a lot by other RU-vidrs but I really like the way you went into the Nen percentages and Nen theory behind the abilities

One thing to point out from the manga of Kurapikas back story is that when their eyes go scarlet they become stronger, like there on something and fueled by that emotion

Yayyyyy. I know it probably takes you a long time to put out one of these videos, but I always get so happy when you upload stuff like this (wife reviews are great just not as good as these)

Kurapika's "Swiss Army Knife ability" has the potency of Kaido's THUNDER BAGUA !!!

the brilliance of how Kurapika's ability is portrayed is that in more traditional shounen he would be the "bad guy", as that is typically the trope of the character than "cheats" and becomes powerful too quickly which serves against the protagonist who we normally see train for years to master something. But in the HXH world it is show as simply another path - if you are willing to make a great sacrifice you can have great power (e.g., Gon).

I like to think that Emperor Time allows Kurapika to access the will and nen of his entire fallen tribe, including enhancers, transmitters... and that was why he could use all abilities at max efficiency.

Coudn't really understand the whole "Levels" things of Kurapika's Emperor time, until I saw this video. Brilliant explanation given by you. Keep up the good work pal.

This is one of those animes I love that forces me to pause and rewind just to know wtf is going on there. Amazing show though.

When he use the scarlet eyes he still is 100% conjurer, only his rise his level of mastery of specilisation from 0% to 80%. It's called innate category because you cannot choose or change it. It's not he become specialist but his ability allowed him to rise the level of mastery to 100%.

He's the reincarnation of Kurama, i love how Togashi changed Kurama's rose whip to chains

the chain that steal the nen and powers maybe was conjured while he activated the scarlet eyes ... so he just need to keep the conjuration, made with the specialization, alive.

Hi, im a new subscriber. My friend, who first introduced me to the series, and I found some fun in comparing the 4 main characters from HXH to those of its creators other classic, Yu Yu Hakusho. In specific, Gon was most like Yuske, Kilua. most like Hiei, Liorio being a more intellectual Kuwabara, and Kurapica being a less emotionally stable Kurama.

Awesome and very informative video .. always wanted to get additional information on kurapika post-anime.

Kurapika's scarlet eyes changing his ability is a trait of the scarlet eyes. Uvo said the people of Kurta village were really strong even though I doubt they all trained in nen let alone to the degree that a master enforcer would consider them strong if not for the scarlet eyes giving them an edge. Moreover, even before Kurapika knew about nen the scarlet eyes has shown to significantly boost his abilities when in use.

if meruem was a member of phantom troupe then kurapika and netero could have a chance of killing meruem without self destruct.

It’s crazy I’ve learned so much from you I’m so excited to read the manga

After all the tricks to get me to subscribe, I finally did, I'm loving this channel.

kurapika seriously ain’t give a shit about his own well-being. he’s also a mathematical god

Kurapika is so OP that he influenced a whole clan of OP characters in naruto: kurapika is the true ancestor of the Uchiha!

Kurapika would have already avenged his clan if he'd only been good enough at math to subscribe to the New World Review.

He captured Chrollo unnoticeable - that's how powerful he is.

do you have a video explaining the 4th prince's nen ability?

So, too summarize: -In normal mode, he has strong Detection-Ability including a Lie-Detector, also usable for generic Attack and Defense. Also a Healing Ability and an Ability-Steal-Ability. Andvery strong chains-for-capture. -In Emperor Mode, all of this becomes STRONG and he also gets more Abilities also.

Never clicked on a video so fast kurapika is an absolute gem

Weird thought here, do you think Gong’s affinity could have changed after the trauma of almost dying after the fight with the ants?

I've been waiting for this.😊

Wow you explained this so well. I didnt even realize this is how his power actually worked liked this

I understand that the Chimera Ant Arc is supposed to highlight characters other than Kurapika as the York New Arc is pretty much his and his alone. But it's really a shame that we don't get to see him in action against the ants. It doesn't even have to be against Mereum. I would settle with a battle between him and Shaiapouf. Like what is shared in this video, he can use all other abilities except Chain Jail against anyone who's not a Spider.

I think why Kurapika is specialist is because he's independent and sole survivor of his clan. Remember the personality test of Hisoka in nen category? Specialist is independent so I think in my opinion is main reason why Kurapika is specialist cuz he's sole survivor and only one carry the revenge of his clan, he's the only one kurta clan

I'm a new subscriber and im likeing the vids so far!

I'm so glad you explained his power because I got tired of explaining it to people because they think his powers only work on the phantom troupe and he is weak when fighting anyone else. So I'm grateful that you are explaining how op kurapika is.

Thank you for clarifying that only Chain Jail is a Phantom Troupe-only ability I'm glad my boi is that OP! With great power comes great responsibility/sacrifice

I finally have some understanding of Kurapika's abilities thank you!

I'm glad you fixed his name pronounciation 💕💕

Also one thing we have t seen from him is that Kurapika can use Emitter and Transmuter abilities as well. Just like he used enhancer abilities against Uvogin.

A theory I have regarding ability stealing: Specialization is required to steal and use abilities, however conjuration can be used to work with other people's Nen and Aura. To elaborate, both Shikaku and Kurapika seem to only take the aura from the user of the Hatsu - Kurapika by draining the person he injected the syringe into, and Shikaku by trapping the aura he's attacked by with a card. However, since Shikaku traps that aura in whatever shape he caught it in, he can then, perhaps use it in the same exact shape. So, if he could catch Halkenburg's arrow, then he'd only have sealed that specific arrow, and not Halkenburg's ability to shoot arrows altogether, and would then be able to release that arrow from his card unto someone, but only once if he only ever caught and sealed one. As for Kurapika, the fact that he has to drain the user of Nen seems to be a requirement to stealing the Hatsu, but not the act of stealing it in and of itself, just like Leol's 'favors' are a condition for him to be able to steal it. It would seem from Leol that physical contact isn't necessary to steal or borrow someone's Hatsu, and they don't have to come in contact with their Aura to be able to do it as long as the specific conditions they have set are met. So as Kurapika fulfills the condition of draining a Nen user of aura with Steal Chain and forcing them into Zetsu (as well as perhaps knowing their Hatsu, as he had to inquire from Bill as to the nature of that dude's Hatsu), he can then invoke Stealth Dolphin and gain access to that Hatsu proper.

9:35 wow thx for clearing this up, i havent read/watched hxh in a while but i always thought if kurapika used any ability against non spiders he’d die

Great video I was always confused on kurapika’s abilities especially the misconception that all of them are only usable towards phantom troupe members.

kurapika so confident he brought a shovel

Intro alone deserves the sub

Just seeing this thumb nail is satisfying I love this series

I was looking forward to this episode

finally someone who actually understands kurapika's abilities, i'm glad hxh has someone like you as a fan really.

I think some of the core associated abilities of specialization are related to nen-ability manipulation and divination, and since Conjurors and Manipulators are closest to specialization they can most easily access these specialization abilities by incorporating these functions into their primary abilities.

New subscriber, love the videos

Great intro as always

I think steel chain works by just taking all of the auru of the target and containing, which I think could be accomplished with just conjuration kind of like the vacuum ability.

The burning bright thing was really interesting you could also say gon did the same thing just even brighter

Just got into the series. Finished the episodes on Netflix and your videos answer so many questions I had while watching the episodes. Any recommendations for where to buy the mangas?

Hi I’m a new subscriber and I’m excited to join! 0:51

Definetely my favorite But can we take a moment to appreciate that Mister Morel's Deep Purple is made by transmuting his Aura into smoky figures, emitting them to set them free and then manupulate a massive amount of them with pretty good control And all of that with seemingly no restrictions even though Transmutation is exactly on the opposite of the Nen ring

I love it everytime someone explain that Kurapika doesn't get 100% in all nen cathegories when emperor time is active.

A Kurapika that’s gone through biscuits Nen Training could probably take on the ant king, he has 7 abilities. All he has to do is steal chain killua to use Godspeed and with that speed steal chain the ant king to force him into zetsu and it’s over man.

Love your content NWR xoxo

I would love to see the time when Kurapika meet Pariston and Gin. Could Gin capable of mimicking Kurapika's complex skill sets, would Pariston be successful to steer Kurapika's careful decision making?

Can't wait to learn about leorio's nen abilities though you'll probably have to split that video in 2 cause there's so many

Hey , I like a lot of ur content, guys. Keep doing the good workd.I would like to ask if u know what it's ur personal category of Nen? If u already answered this sorry by questioning again.

I'm new but I already love your videos

We all know that in any anime, lifetime exchange never means anything.

What would happen if kurapika gets his hands on nitrorice? Would a constant diet of that mean he could have emperor time active 24/7? Maybe that would still lower his max age but just slower than without the nitrorice.

im a new subscriber in the comment. actually been watching for ages but never realised i never subbed, my apologies

finally subscribed

ALL I CAN SAY IS KURAPIKA IS A GENIUS, AND MOST AFRAID OF HIS AND HISOKA'S DEATH.

In my head, I always hear "New World Review" as "Nen World Revies"

11:04 Wow! This is crazy! 😳

How about a follow-up video of calculating how much time Kurapika has with Emperor Time active 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I just finish re-reading the new continent ark, and I think he put the restriction of Empeoror time draining 1h of his life for each second in that state after the Yorknew events, because he wanted to be able to use Emperor time for more extended periods of time (where before he would be drain after ~30minutes or even less, depending on how much aura was spent), all in order to be strong enough to deal with Phantom Troupe better. Also, after he loaded the ability the Dolphin appears instantly, so It's not possible to just drain one Aura without forcefully getting into Emperor time, and if the ability he steals has a lot of restrictions, like how some Nen users needs days to activate their abilities, this can be fatal for Kurapika.

Nothing like a new Nenworldreview video about out favor blonde boy on a fine Wednesday morning.

It's so weird coming from your pokemon channel to this one

Hey GrandLine what do you think Togashi plans are for emitter types? Seems like he was setting something up when Ging learned emitters are using tech to push the capabilities of their nen-type.
