| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- My god that was intense O_O Didn't expect that complete mastery thing at all though, but my god, every single category XD Awesome episode overall |
| interesting... the moon is red in MH's version too. It's pretty, so I like it. (I wonder if Togashi intended it to be red in the manga?) I squealed like an idiot when I heard the soundtrack that started when Kurapika first started talking, it's one of my favorites. x3 And I love the differences from NA's version~ well... for the fight itself, not so much the talking while Uvo's captured part (before the CM break, after the break it's awesome again) But I guess in the 2011 anime, Kurapika being able to fly/jump super high is canon? xD cuz I remember people complaining about something like that in a Hunter Exam ep.. I was grinning so hard throughout this ep, but when Kurapika started hitting the restrained Uvo... I couldn't stop gritting my teeth, Uvo... ;_; |
| This episode was OMGAWESOMESAUSAGE! XD Best episode of the whole freakin series so far! I never expected Kurapika to be so beastly! |

| That was just epic. |
 |
| I got goosebumps while watching this. It's definitely my favorite part in the Yorknew City arc and my favorite fight of the series thus far with the Gon x Hisoka fight coming in a close second. Kurapika is such a badass. You know shits going down when his eyes turn red! |
 |
| WOW, that was just freaking epic. Don't mess with Kurapika. |

| That was freaken EPIC, easily the best episode till now. |
 |
| This episode is much improved over the original version. Simply one of the best shounen fights I have ever seen. I'm really loving Kurapika's new VA. |
 |
| The fight didn't top MH's Gon vs. Hisoka for me, but it was still a good fight and that ending... great episode |
 |
| Ah~ that fight made me cringe blow-to-blow ,beautifully exucated animation and emotions that were put into the charactors. I remembered watching this for the first time and i was SO suprised when Kurapika revaled his secret about his power.Kurapika is boss,i am totaly pumped for the movie now ;D on another note i feal sorry for uvogin XDDDDD |
 |
| Kurapika was bad ass this episode. Damn to see that kind of brutality in a shounen is quite awesome, haven't seen anything even close to that in One piece or Fairy tail. |

Awesome episode as always. Btw, Death Note/Kira vibes anyone? Kurapika's face especially  |
| I think if my memory serves me right that this was the best most filled action in 1 episode of jam-packed goodness. Kurapika was the boss of all boss and he looked and showed how much of a hardcore spider killer he is. |
 |
| Pretty damn amazing and best episode yet, as expected. Definetely gonna watch this many times over. Still the best fight of the whole series, so far. Gawd, I love you, Kurapika. Once again, it failed to deliver the amazing sensation in some scenes, like the manga did. But that's just nitpicking. It still was fantastic. |
 |
| Wow. Just wow. And dat death scene... Awesome ep; couldn't ask for more ^_^ |
| The big brown fox jumps over the lazy dog |
| And that folks, is what you call being a BADASS. Even though I have seen this already, Kurapika's chain techniques is still very epic! Conjurer when normal, but he is a Specialist when his scarlet eyes grow! Awesome. Can't wait to see him fight another Phantom Troupe member. |

| I don't remember the original series ever being this awesome. If only all shounen could have as much blood and graphic violence in it. Makes it seem like Kurapika is and will always be stronger than Gon which is weird since Gon is the main character. |
 |
| wow that was a great episode, exciting action plus disgusting brutality though lol well i think they wanna show how freaking bad is killing without reason and they achieve that imho |
tigerz said: Makes it seem like Kurapika is and will always be stronger than Gon which is weird since Gon is the main character. Not quite. Don't forget the fact that Kurapika can only use his abilities against a Phantom Troupe member. He's powerless against all the other Nen users. On the other hand, Gon has limitless potential for growth and can easily surpass current Kurapika within a few years. |
|
| I imagine it took a lot of self control to meet in a random building and somehow get to a deserted area without one of them attacking the other one. And lol Ubogin: he just tosses his crumpled beer can at Kurapika. In the 1999 version he crushes it into a bullet and shoots it at Kurapika who nonchalantly knocks it away with his chain. IMHO, the 1999 version was more memorable and impactful, the 2011 was a standard but good shonen fight. On to the York Shin auction and the Spiders' search for Ubogin's murderer! |

| A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more. |
| So many power boost's for Kurapika, he has the red eyes + oath. |
 |
PirateKingz said: Don't forget the fact that Kurapika can only use his abilities against a Phantom Troupe member i thought that condition is only applicable to his Conjurer-Mode? since in Specialist-Mode he can master all nen types, i mean he only uses his Specialist-Mode now to power up his Conjurer-Mode Chains right? |

On the other hand, Gon has limitless potential for growth and can easily surpass current Kurapika within a few years. Only his Chain Jail has the oath solely for the Phantom Troupe, other chain abilities like judgement chain can be used to non-spider member. Meaning his Emperor Time should also be able to be used against non spiders right?(granted if he ever even gets that pissed against anyone else that is) |
|
| Amazing episode is amazing. I just keep loving Kurapika and this series more and more. |
  |
| HOLY SHIT SO AWESOME DAT ANIMATION truly fabolous episode |
| Great execution done by Madhouse! Uvogin coughing up blood was actually more intense than when I read that part in the manga. The animation was amazing as usual and you can tell the best animators put their work here. Also the cinematography at the end when Uvogin is getting the shit beaten out of him and finally his death was WOW! Uvogin's death was channeling some Death Note there when L died! Seriously FANTASTIC EPISODE! |

ludexm said: Yes it can be used against non-spider opponents because it is considered as self buff skill. That's why his Specialization Nen is a complete HAX. This is the description of Emperor's Time in hunterpedia: When Kurapika's eyes shift into scarlet, he changes from a Conjurer to a Specialist. This ability allows him to utilize all the types of Nen to 100% efficiency (for a Conjurer). In the manga, Kurapika explains this using the terms "Level" and "Force/Accuracy". Kurapika's "Levels" in the various Nen categories remain the same during Emperor Time, however, his Force and Accuracy for every category is raised to 100%. Thus, if Kurapika's Level in Conjuration were 10, his Level in Emission (the polar opposite aura type) would be 4, and during Emperor Time, he would be evenly matched against a Level 4 Emitter at 100%. Outside of Emperor Time, his Force and Accuracy in Emission would at most be only be 40%. http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Kurapika Not to mention his ring finger chain is yet to be revealed. It's not as broken as you think. Like you said, the "levels" do not change during Emperor time, which means that his Enhancement and Manipulation abilities (the ones he uses most of the time) are at most 6/10 the level of his natural affinity. And Emperor Time can not be used for a long period of time. Kurapika's strongest ability however, is the Chain Jail IMO. And the reason why Kurapika is not as strong as many people think is that he can't use Chain Jail on non-PT members. |

| That sure was brutal for a teens show. I might remember wrong but I think that previous series was a little less violent. Anyway it's a really nice piece of work. I'd like to see more series directed like that. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Kurapika is way too strong. But I am not suprised? |

| Wow... that was painful to watch! It gave off a totally different feeling than the 1999 version did and I don't remember the manga being so brutal. The animation was brilliant at the start where Kurapika was 'flying' and sending his chains everywhere, and I felt for Kurapika a bit. To be honest though I was a lot more with Uvo. (This is my third time round though, so I knew it was coming and it upset me. orz.) Kurapika was so brutal while he was punching him and the coughing up blood... I couldn't help thinking that Uvo just wasn't selling out the Spiders, he wasn't sacrificing his team. He might be a murderer, but I still love him for that. I'm so glad Madhouse has stopped shying away from gore, the impact of the whole fight was huge. |
| Superb chapter and unexpected, is unexpected because in the new edition of hxh there wasnt a real dark side how the old one, they were doing the series somehow for children too, they put some dark matters but not a really hard ones. I would even say that the first chapters maked me to be uncomfortable with the future of the new edition, they pull it together the series and it wasnt a total fall down. But now they are showing us torture and murder, and they are doing it in a great chapter. They showed us emotions in the characters: Uvogin is rage, resolve and at the end helplessness. He is really frustrated and he prefers to die before of giving in any request of Kurapika, unbreakable until the end. All of Kurapika is biterness and hatred, but at the end it seems that he doesnt want to kill him, he doesnt enjoy killing a human being, and he tries to crush the Uvogin will more than killing him. The only thing that i didnt like so much of this chapter was the fight itself, it wasnt as espectacular as others. But it was good anyway. The best chapter of hxh for much. |

| Kurapika seems so overpowered but I guess it's only until we see the others in action. Anyway awesome super amazing episode again! |
 |
| Damn, They executed it perfectly. Best fighting episode asdfgjklkjhgfds. So badass. Now I can't wait for the |
| #52 Kurapika is overpowered against the phantom troupe but only against them, and he explains why in this episode, anyway he isnt indestructible. |
| poor leorio, forever ignored... |
"Either Die as a Hero... or live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain..." |
| I like this new version quite a lot even though there are things the old one did better: + for fhe new version: -> More graphic and gore -> More animated + For the older version -> Uvo looked more like a fucking giant and scarier -> Better artwork I really like how Uvo got totally destroyed at the end. There are some really nice actions. |
