| remember when kurapika captured chrollo? the first thing chrollo said is: I didn't expect the chain user to be a woman, and then kurapika reacted suspiciously fast remove the wig and says: take a better look before you say something stupid, why would kurapika react that way when Its actually convenient for him for chrollo to have mistaken him for a woman? and lastly I don't think chrollo would make a mistake telling kurapika's gender in that distance with wig or w/o wig, I mean that's chrollo he's a prodigy add the fact Togashi does this so often with the zoldycks, with Kalluto and Alluka confirmed to be males then we have Pitou who is unconfirmed, what makes Kurapika unconfirmed is there wasn't a debate about him because he simply doesn't pass as much as a girl compared to the other three examples and simply because their counterpart from YYH are all males so they assume he'd be canonically male even tho he's not confirmed to be male also all the connotation with Tser involving woman is definitely a set up for the reveal, I'm calling it now |

also I'm confused as to how you think Chrollo would know the gender of someone? that's not something you can detect with nen.
kurapika already looks feminine so putting a wig and makeup on is convincing.

| @N0T3LI_ bro he's too smart, he basically figured out Kurapika's binding vow with a few info, he'd figure Kurapika in that distance "did not intend Chrollo escape" wrong, at that point Killua and Gon are still hostages, and even if Killua and Gon actually manages to escape during the blackout, that was still to early to reveal and remove the wig, meaning it's a misdirection |

add the fact Togashi does this so often with the zoldycks, with Kalluto and Alluka confirmed to be males then we have Pitou who is unconfirmed, what makes Kurapika unconfirmed is there wasn't a debate about him because he simply doesn't pass as much as a girl compared to the other three examples and simply because their counterpart from YYH are all males so they assume he'd be canonically male even tho he's not confirmed to be male

Honestly, in that specific scene with Kuroro, Kurapika was probably referring to the fact that just because he looks like a woman doesn't necessarily make him a woman
According to the Hunterpedia databook, Kurapika's gender is male.
Here are some other details about Kurapika:
Age: 12 in Volume 0, 17 in the Heavens Arena arc, and 19 in the current timeline
Height: 171 cm (5'7")
Weight: 59 kg (130 lbs)
Birthday: April 4, 1982
Blood type: AB
But as a big fan of HxH I wouldn't mind if he was a girl, because he's already been my waifu for a long time even though he's a man lol.
| @ReMightyRon the databook is proven to be quite inconsistent tho you know that right? the databook had lots of stuff wrong before also with your argument, you're making it seems Kurapika just became woke and got triggered because he got misgendered there, like what's his motive there? I see no motive for him to be so woke there |

@Haunt88 So you're telling me that you would only believe that Kurapika is a man if Togashi himself posted on Twitter now and revealed things like that?
He's clearly a male character simply because it's a shounen manga and the other three protagonists are also men, unless there really was some mystery behind it.(But I remember that in that special manga about Kurapika's childhood with his friend Pyro he really looked like a normal boy with nothing feminine behind it)

| @ReMightyRon I mean if Alluka and Kalluto looked like normal girls with nothing masculine behind it, why's that impossible for a young Kurapika in the opposite scenario also the thing with the genre is it's about the main main protagonist which is Gon, so even if there's 2 female in the 4 main it's still a shounen as long as the main protag is male, there's plenty of shounen where there are female protagonist (not the main protag) along with the males and yes as long as togashi don't confirm it himself, I mean look at Pitou, he literally refuses to confirm Pitou's gender, so with Kurapika no one really bothered questioning it because we all just assumed he's male because it's a shounen |

| It's a funny discussion but it's interesting There are some things I can consider that create doubts: * His name. (i don't know but i think it's a girl's name) * The voice artist is a female and the character design looks female type. In the end, he is not a female. |
