wow, kurpika really handled that well, he would be perfect as a main in a physiological anime, like death note or code geass.

Kurapika is such a badass.

Well Kurapika has definitely become a great Hunter already. His weapon is really interesting to watch too.

This episode having Chopin's Heroic Polonaise (although slightly orchestrated at end) as bgm for the end+fight was <3
The interpretation wasn't one of the bests (the tremolos were magnificent though), but it was extremely pleasant enough to hear such a piece in an anime that doesn't revolve around music.

This episode was thus one of my favorites of the entire show due to that, although plot-wise it was also interesting ofc.

Kurapika ain't interested in any mere woman. He's only got eyes for the spiders. ;)

Although it seems he is using black eye contacts to cover up his habit of his eyes going red when emotional. Smart move.

Music in this episode was interesting. It set the scene of this new arc really well though.

I'm liking this storyline. Kurapica's personality seems to have changed a bit. He's much more serious than he was throughout the hunter test saga.

Though I don't really like this personality.
I love how he became slightly more mature and more skilled in analyzing situations like that. (And also nen)

Nice character development....

Damn, this was such a great episode. Kurapika fights like a badass and also thinks like one too. Also, Kurapika catching the bullets is awesome.

BTW, I certainly hope Gon's mother's voice was not destroyed in that rerecording of his father's tape. Also, they are quite right about people who use Nen in order to determine the characteristics of someone. In fact, I believe Kurapika is with someone who does the same thing.

Waiting for the fight next episode. Also, Playstation was introduced in JApan 5 years before this series started. Never thought that Playstation was that old.

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.

It still feels quite slow and that last fight was actually off-screened? Or will we see more of that? I wanna see how that woman fights tbh.

This was actually a really good episode. (With a really unique musical score, too — I wonder if there were different staff for this episode’s production. Very dramatic.) I don’t even care for Kurapika that much but his scenes were my favorite. His psychological intellect is his best attribute.

Too bad they didn’t animate a SAKUGA fight sequence between Kurapika and the masked fighters. The fact that the fight was off-screen indicates some laziness... that is, unless it picks back up in the next episode to show the capabilities of each applicant.

Kurapika saying “that’s all?” was awesome. I didn’t understand what Killua said about the memory card, maybe, the translation. Entertaining episode, I liked the music.
