Farewell, Uvo.
Pretty sure he can't just nullify the contract.

Again the kid is still young, so its not that a far out idea that one day hes going to have to fight a nen user thats not realted to the troupe
Just because Kurapika isn't interested doesn't mean the rest of the world won't be interested in fighting him. If people stand in the way to his goal that aren't Spiders he'll have trouble getting past them.

That was so worth the wait and buildup. And just think, kiddos, we haven't reached the end of this arc. What wonders await. Time for Gundam: Unicorn.

Kurapika is better at this revenge thing than Sasuke

Break the contract and you suffer the condition.

At least Kurapika was nice enough to bury him.

He literally pierced his own heart with his chain. Nen contracts cannot be broken through normal means.

What's the point of calling it a contract if you can just go back on it whenever you want? I don't pretend to know who this works but that'd be pretty silly.
I've seen that gif for years and now I know what it means.So so so so so good. And honestly about half the reason I started posting here again.

Probably one of the best nights of Toonami since I started watching it. I'm calling it a night. See you next week.
But then he could just have his buddies Gon and Killua have his back.

Good episode and with that I'm out.
Hopefully by tomorrow the server issue will be ironed out.

Uvo was the best match up for Kurapika, knows his nen ability and knows that it's a straight forward enhancer ability. Biggest issue in nen fights is having no idea what the other's ability is.
Given the contract, not really. He's only so strong because of that contract.
And no, you can't undo contracts.
The way I see it is, like, Kurapika is no longer just a protagonist, he's also the villain from the Troupe's perspective, most of whom are likable characters and who you don't want to see die, despite Kurapika clearly being in the right.
So the appeal comes from seeing how Kurapika and the Troupe fight from the perspective of seeing them as separate sides you both root for, rather than a standard protag vs. villain fight. It's that shift in perspective that makes it work for me.

I'm out, guys. Good night.
Maybe I'm too used to that but he had the dude wrapped up. It feels like a cop having a perp in handcuffs on his knees and blowing the guy's brains out anyway.
He also has to get the eyes of his clansmen back and the spiders no longer have them. So if a strong nen user crosses his path he's basically defenseless. This actually comes back into play much later on.

Like others have said, the Spiders won't always be the main target. Say that someone was attacking one of Kurapika's friends and it wasn't the Phantom Troupe. Simple nen won't do. The world is vast and full of strong people. Kurapika made himself useless.
Nen is half magic/half ki. It's not something that can be gotten rid of that easily.

I mean, assuming they're around, sure I guess.
I'm gonna hold off on making the judgement on that. I've read through the whole manga at this point but I still don't know because of his extremely limited use.
Living in a world as fucked up as this and not be able to defend yourself against anything other than the Phantom Troupe doesn't sound safe at all to me though.

You should know by now that Hunter x Hunter is crazy inventive with its abilities. It's not about power levels. Even 100% of every Nen aspect might not be enough in some fights.
Thinking about the other member's actual abilities,
Kurapika could probably talk about half of them 1-on-1 without altering anything he did with Uvo. Some of them though would need significant thinking on his feet, especially Chrollo.

i guess i think of Kurapika's abilities as the fact that he's limiting his options for a thing that basically exists for the purpose of confrontation with anyone he might possibly encounter throughout his life. there are consequences to focusing on like 0.1% of the population of nen users, even if he by and large doesn't care about the rest at the moment
I dunno, I'm not sure how I feel about all this contract stuff. Seems he made himself useless for every other arc in the series from what people are saying? So he goes on a curbstomping spree in this arc and then gets worfed every other arc (at least theroretically)? We'll see I guess.
I think the most telling thing about this moment is that the murderer gets the last laugh, thus this lack of justice being obtained.
And did I hear a phone sound?
