I can only hope Kurapika doesn't go down the same dark path. Although, I'm sure he won't. This is Togashi we're talking about here...

I hope Kurapica doesn't end up like that.

It was nice to see Kurapika again. And he sure became strong.

Kind of a 'meh' episode. Nice to see what Kurapica has been up to, but the story really dragged.

This was nice, fantastic character development. This like many scenes were unfortunately glossed over in the remake.
Nothing can happen until you swing the bat.

Quite the tone shift, but not too bad! Quite some good character development, let's see what's next.

Is Kurapica going through rebel-teenage-mode or is he just so upset that he's not in the reinforcement group?
He is way different from the last time he was with the others.

Kurapika should've made some hair for that woman.

Quite an amazing episode. I liked the spider butterfly allegories. This is a really awesome episode where Kurapika's character is shown with a little bit depth.

There is something good about the master's explanations of nen.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

So we get some information about Kurapika's training... well it was okay I guess. Nothing too exciting.

Lmfao, I was hoping I wasn't the only one who thought this. Luckily someone from an entire decade ago agrees with me.

I really don't care much for Kurapika's story. I know they want to give each of the four MC's their own tragic past, but Kurapika's is just uninteresting for some reason. His personality is pretty lackluster... he's usually just a calm, stoic type whose party pooper nature gets on Leo's nerves. But like that other user said, he's kind of a snob in this episode hehe. Don't care how fixated on revenge he is or what his past was like -- we saw that he was capable of being good-natured during the Hunter Exam -- so his attitude throughout his training was a bit of a turn-off.

Kurapika became badass, his time to move. The job he took is gonna be related to the Phantom Troupe or the related to an auction.

First time on my watch-through of the 1999 episode that I thought it had an almost masterpiece of an episode with extremely good original content and amazing directing and is also one of the first times I hear people just saying it was a bad episode in the forums. Crazy. This was single handily the best episode of this version of the show so far.

This was a personal highlight episode for me. The atmosphere created through the cross cutting of past and present was really effective.
And it had some gorgeous imagery:
