Master Weapon Specialist: With the full extent of his abilities in the field being unclear, Kurapika used a pair of bokken swords linked by a thread before learning Nen, and could wield them also as a nunchaku. In the 1999 anime, it was revealed the bokken swords were actually two sheathed blades. He displayed the ability to use them skillfully against Hisoka. When he worked as Neon's bodyguard, he carried a knife with him, although he used it solely for intimidation. However, the weapon Kurapika specializes in currently are his chains, which he learned to use in battle with great skill in a rather short amount of time. He can move them with such mastery that they act as natural extensions of his limbs, being even able to entangle targets at a distance of almost 30 meters in less than a second. [58] The chains are suited for both offensive and defensive purposes (usually the Dowsing Chain), [45] as well as immobilizing the opponent ( Chain Jail). [53]

In Volume 7, where the results of the first poll were published, it was revealed that voters were impressed with his resolve, and some questioned his gender.

Balsamilco Might (Captain) • Babimyna • Butch • Coventoba • Furykov • Kanjidol • Musse • Orau • Rihan • Shikaku • Vict • Vincent • Yushohi Shaped like a ball and chain, Kurapika uses this frequently under normal situations, for defensive and offensive purposes. [45] It has a small ball-like weight at the end, which moves toward whatever he is dowsing for. It is also useful for investigative activities, like determining the location of missing individuals, [64] and identifying if someone is lying. [45] If this ability is used in a group, it works better if the persons questioned reply one at a time. [93] In ordinary conditions, Kurapika must be directly in front of the target for the lie detection to be effective. However, when Emperor Time is active, he can also use that ability through video recordings, provided he has met the subject before. Kurapika himself is unaware of how this side of his power works. His guess is that, through the conveyance of the chain and extreme focus, he can unconsciously detect subtle indications that someone is lying. [88]

At some point, Kurapika and Pairo saved a female outsider called Sheila. As thanks, she gave them a book about the adventures of the D Hunter in the outside world which they read together, their desire to visit the outside world becoming stronger. After Sheila left, Kurapika realized that the Kurta Clan's elder had stolen the book and confronted him about it. Having an argument again, the clan elder finally allowed Kurapika to take the test to go to the outside world. Studying hard and passing all the tests successfully, the elder gave him his last test: to go shopping in the outside world with a partner without revealing their Scarlet Eyes. Kurapika chose Pairo as his partner. The elder had them put drops in their eyes which would cause their eyes to remain red for days if they change color during the test. During the journey, Kurapika vowed to himself to find a way to cure Pairo so that they would be able to explore the outside world together. [3] Advanced Hearing: Kurapika has a keener sense of hearing than average humans, which enables him to perceive revelatory sounds [7] and overhear conversations others would miss. [19]Knives: In the Hunter Exam, Kurapika carried at least three knives hidden under his vest. However, according to Majtani, he does not seem to rely on them much. To Uvogin) "Some place remote where we won't cause a nuisance. I get the feeling your final moments will be raucous." [56] In the Japanese manga, Kurapika uses the pronoun "watashi," which is a formal, gender-neutral pronoun most often used by women. As a child, Kurapika used the pronoun "ore," which is an informal pronoun used by men. A child that uses "ore" is trying to give an older impression and appear tough. Kurapika suggests they leave Beyond alone until landing since he's not hiding any ulterior motives. Mizaistom remains skeptical as Pariston and Saiyu might still encourage him even if Beyond didn't plan to escape before landing. Kurapika explains why it is unlikely: Beyond’s contract with Kakin includes taking civilians to the "New Continent" as he wishes to highlight Hui Guo Rou’s achievement, so he won’t be causing any problems en route. And in the worst-case scenario of him escaping, V5 might turn the ship around, even if it means breaking ties with Kakin. All of which contradicts Beyond's initial decision of announcing a truce and letting himself be captured. Consequently, it would be unwise for them to do anything about Saiyu in the meantime. Mizaistom agrees, but says he'd rather avoid sitting idly while Pariston and his spy are plotting. Kurapika is then given permission to watch the part of the recording where Saiyu explains about his Nen ability ( Three Monkeys). He concludes that Saiyu was much more stable during his explanation, contrary to his proclaimed worry. On the reverse side, the remaining Zodiacs were obviously nervous about the risk of the spy learning about their abilities, yet still desiring to trust the others, which in turn affected their body language; all stereotypical behavior of the innocent. Kurapika surmises that Saiyu was telling the truth about his ability, and he is also on Beyond's side. He then proposes keeping tabs on Saiyu in secret to uncover his plans while gathering evidence. Mizaistom agrees it is safer than tailing him at all times, even if it means leaving him free to act. [89]

The Viz translation omitted the "Chain" part of each chain's second name and the name "Dowsing Chain" entirely, using: Over the next few days, the lectures continue without the user of Silent Majority making another move. On Friday, he feels an incredibly powerful aura, but he resolves to keep his calm so as not to weaken his own Nen. [109] The morning after the banquet, during one of the lectures, Kurapika and Bill feel the rumbling aura surge again. They conclude it comes from an odd-numbered room. Kurapika assures Sakata that its signature is different from the one of Prince Zhang Lei's Guardian Spirit Beast and that therefore it is unlikely that it belongs to him. From the way it swells before disappearing abruptly, Kurapika estimates that it is an Emission ability, which might be able to go through walls. Sakata then says that Kurapika's students are starting to have doubts about the training due to repeating the same exercise over and over. Kurapika replies that he will start the next stage the following day and performs the Water Divination test as a Specialist in front of them. [110] Enhanced Agility: Kurapika can jump several meters in the air and hit his opponents from various angles with acrobatic moves without losing his balance. [58] This is first proven when he leaps on top of a chandelier during the exam to be hired by Light Nostrade [45] and later in the confrontation against Uvogin. [58]Hunter × Hunter Hunter Association Official Issue: Hunter's Guide; Character & World Official Databook (pg. 42 and 50) At some point after parting company with his friends, Kurapika succeeds in finding an agency specializing in providing rich and famous people with bodyguards and hirelings. However, he is immediately told that despite his Hunter License, he is not qualified for such work. The agent says that his Hunter Exam is not finished. [42] One of Oito's bodyguards is found dead in a toilet, all blood drained out of him. Kurapika inspects the body and concludes the culprit may have used Nen; however, the bodyguards who are not Hunters have never heard of it, while the Hunters do not say anything. He later confronts them about their silence, causing them to reply they are surprised he disclosed the information. From their conversation, Kurapika gleans he is the only one who knows about the succession war, meaning Pariston may be unaware of it as well. When the corpses of four more bodyguards are found, Kurapika conjures his Dowsing Chain, and, pointing a gun at his colleagues, states he will shoot them if they lie. [92] Nevertheless, it is indeed relevant: in Japanese culture, the number 4, due to one of its possible pronunciations, is considered the number of death * *, and April is the fourth month of the year. This date reflects his determination to apprehend or kill the members of the Phantom Troupe, and he is indeed referred to as a "god of death" in one of their predictions.

and both Kurama and Kurapika have the same first two syllables on their names and are the only main characters to do so.An ability Kurapika stole from Sayird via his index finger chain [94] before giving it to Oito. [97] The user launches an aura ball at a bug or any other small living being, capturing and gaining control over it. The largest creature the user can control is about the size of a hamster. The user gains knowledge of anything the manipulated animal sees or hears. For this reason, the ability is particularly useful when utilized on flies or mosquitoes, but since they have many natural enemies, they often die while under the effect of the ability. Faster animals may be hard to catch. The ability cannot be used on living beings conjured via aura. [94] The controlled animal maintains the user's capability of seeing aura. This ability seems to consume very little aura, as even someone who was originally not a Nen user could maintain it for one hour without visible strain. [101] Furthermore, it is not deactivated if the user passes out. It was returned to Sayird after one use. [102] In Volume 11, the author revealed Kurapika was inspired by the Ohmu in Hayao Miyazaki's manga Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. NVC Expert: Even without the usage of his chain, Kurapika is adept at recognizing lies by looking at his interlocutor's eyes. He demonstrated it when inquiring about Melody's motivation for becoming a bodyguard: he not only understood her answer was sincere, but also that she was hiding important details. [49] When trying to identify a mole within the Zodiacs, he could tell it was Saiyu just by observing his body language. [89] Nen [ ] One month later, as the 289th Hunter Exam comes to an end, Pariston informs Ging that his replacement seems to be quite competent, failing all Beyond's assassins. One of the applicants Muherr comments on how everyone who could've passed the lie detector test was failed by this guy, and that he might've known about Beyond's escape plan if they had been told the details. Pariston shakes off the possibility knowing they don't have an escape plan yet. [1]
