Forced to watch their family members being horrifically tortured right in front of each other, from children to the elderly. Forced to inflict injuries and fight one another. And all of them helpless, as they'd see one member after another being decapitated and their bodies defiled. The kurta clan suffered immeasurably.
@@Senseslol just taking the L makes you much less of a loser than starting an argument to try and prove you weren't wrong in the reply section of a yt video ngl
People should understand that a villian backstory doesn't justify their actions, it just makes us understand why they did it. Sarasa's death was fucked up but what the troupe did to the Kurta Clan was genocide with psychological torture which I'll never forgive and makes me understand why Kurapika behaves the way he does.
Well In other side, if the phantom dead Meteor city will be doomed again The phantom is the only thing keep this city be safe If the phantom die, the tragedy of the phantom’s past will happening again
That why I think the Troupe backstory is so dumb. They came from nothing but realized they were strong. So they decided to steal and pillage for the highest bidder. I can't express enough that Feitan doesn't seem like he'd give a shit about anyone.
@@ebeleingram8048 no The phantom troupe was created to protect meteor city By doing bad thing around the world, they will make the world fear them, if the world fear them, no one will dare to mess with meteor city and this city will be safe Beside, the money and resource they get from their mission will be used to support meteor city The phantom group not do all that thing for nothing They do all of this to protect meteor city
Even though Hisoka may have an unhealthy obsession with Gon I suppose he can redeem himself in the future. However did we all forget that he still wants to fight Gon to the death? Not to mention given the fact that he said he is no longer going to give anybody a chance to plan against him he's literally going to kill any opponent he fights on the spot what's going to happen then? 🤔👀
@@virologiclist25akajoshp82 aside from Hisoka's strange obsessions, the dude is not bad. And choosing to not let anyone take any chances and directly cut off problems from the source has always been how the strong survived; if you're ready to fight against someone where any attack could take the other's life, then be ready to die. That's how it is in fiction or real life, never assume you'll just naturally survive through some miracle or mercy.
We all know how the story is going to go though if hxh continues , Kurapika will be obsessed with getting revenge to the point where he betrays his other moral values and friends then he regrets what he has done and finally gets closure by not hunting them down anymore
@@royemmer3703To be fair if gon didn't make that sacrifice pitou would have rushed to interrupt the fight with netero or she would have survived in general since the ants only died bc they got weakened trying to save meruem. No one remaining would even be able to touch them.
@@royemmer3703 Except as we see in the Yorknew City arc, Kurapika chooses his friends and values over revenge every time. And in chapter 344, he makes it clear in his inner monologue that after he takes back the last remaining eyes from the 4th Prince, "his journey may finally begin", the journey being his promise to Pairo to explore the world, it doesn't seem like he plans on pursuing the Troupe unless they actually attack him.
Oh yeah, Kurapika's friend was beheaded because he never felt any anger or hatred, meaning his eyes never turned scarlet they just took his entire head instead😢.
You would think that with their backstory they would have a strong moral code of what kind of jobs to accept but no, they literally became worse than the criminals they met on their childhood.
@@cryezenI think he means that it seems a little off that they would take a job like that. They seem more of like a Robinhood type of group. Steal from the rich and help the poor.
This just goes to show once again that no matter how sympathetic the Troupe's backstory might be, they have long since become the people who brutalized them, if not surpassed them. The fact that Chrollo immediately decided to do this sort of shit upon discovering Sarasa's body also shows how incredibly broken he already was from just living in Meteor City.
Almost? Kurapika was extremely collected throughout all of this compared to what happened. He even had the courtesy to bury Uvogin even though he didn’t deserve it
I am starting to thing that the massacre was not done from the real phantom troupe. OR one renegade kurata guy killed multiple of their members unprovoked so they took their vengeance on his clan
@@ifyourecognizethepfpthensubpls yeah if he wanted to get down to the Troupe's level he could have mutilated Uvogin's corpse and take his eyes with him
The phantom troupe are very funny and likeable people, but people overlook just how evil they are. Like I’m pretty sure Uvogin didn’t even remember doing this during his fight with Kurapika
You know when I was younger, I watched Kurapika vs. Uvogin and was like “Kurapika, man. Just walk away. Revenge isn’t worth losing yourself” Now seeing this video, I hope Kurapika and Hisoka give them all hell. Uvogin deserved worse.
@@Clownkhitty but togashi decided to makethe Phantom Troup that horrible. Why you hate someone that was created to be evil. Without Phantom Troup hxh would worse, so its good that they exist. If you hate Phantom Troup then you have to critisize or hate Togashi for that.
@@michaeln7901 I never said I hated them??? I said I don’t sympathize with them and that they are awful people. Also almost none of what you said makes any real sense, I don’t understand your point. Hating a character means you hate the writer’s decision to make them evil? Explain
God HxH has been going so long and had so many hiatus that i wouldnt be surpised if there were people that thought Kurapikas eyes were inspired by the Sharingan
Well, the resemblances are there, but there is really nothing wrong with it. It's a nice concept, that as long as the abilities given aren't the exact same in both mangas, it can still be cool and innovating. this basically works in every manga .. inspiration is ok, copying is not and this to me looks like basic inspiration that, as far as I know, was originally from HxH, right? Although Naruto really put it as the main plot outside of the protagonist
Now you know why Kurapika brought a shovel when fighting his first Phantom Troupe Member. It's like the Uchiha Clan Massacre. But here, the culprits dug out the special eyes of 128. In front of their friends, neighbors, wives, husbands and children. Kurapika brought the shovel with him, not because he couldn't afford to lose, but because the phantom troupe member couldn't afford to survive his vengeance.
Chrollo let the hate dictate his path.. which is why he turned into the very monsters that killed Sarasa. Kurapika, is letting vengeance dictate his path to begin with, but realizes that sacrificing his life in order to give his fallen brethren peace is far more honorable.
Phantom Troupe members are cool as hell but not gonna lie I don't feel bad when any of them dies, in fact I'm amused whenever there are turn of events like that one with Shalnark and Kortopi
can't stop thinking about the group of kids from the slums could've been theater actors but instead they turned to be the most infamous group of thieves
Umm, I have a question, did the phantom troop be the one who killed that clans ? I feel like they are not the ones who killed them (this is my thoughts)
Funny that person the Phantom Troupe sold the eyes off to was thw boss of the same person who killed one of they're friend and basically started the Phantom Troupe as a whole and once they realize that They will go batshit insane and with Hisoka and Kurapika also on the Boat its gonna be a bloodbath, Togashi I love you but leaving us on this massive cliff hanger hurts the soul.
The 2011 Hunter X Hunter was highly censored specially with the colourful background/environment and gore and didn't properly use the dark themes when needed atleast in the beginning arcs. If that anime had the dark colours/themes of the old version it would have been top-tier anime from the beginning arcs. It's a shame but still the HxH is the best
The old HxH glazing is crazy fr. You do know HxH in the manga started out as a cheerful manga about a kid going in an adventure looking for his dad with SOME elements of gore? The old HxH show was way too dark. 2011 had a way more accurate and balanced tone overall
@@SinstatHxH anime started aimed at older kids and younger teens, but eventually the themes were mature enough that the show got an ma rating (specifically halfway through the phantom troupe arc) the thing is at the time anime was still heavily censored so hxh doesn't quite have the gore of the manga but it does a decent enough job showing the gravity ofbthe situation otherwise like the bomber, sure Genthru's kills aren't as gorey but it's pretty dark when he turns someone's face into a smoldering husk instead of just blowing it off.
Is so sad to think they did it all one and only to cause fear and hate. Idk if that's what Togashi meants with the Kurta Clan and Phatom Troupe story, but for me is a great exemplo of how violence only cause more violence
It’s honestly crazy how much of a parallel the destruction of the Kurta clan has when compared to kurapika spiral into the person he’s becoming now ; when he first learns nen his abilities were mainly forms of defense and restraining nen until he fights uvogin . He becomes disgusted at uvogin while torturing him for information and when he asks uvogin why the troupe did what they did and how they could even enjoy it ; he simply laughs , telling kurapika that he didn’t really need to do a reason to do what he wanted to do anyways. Now months after he’s left York new city and joined the zodiacs he’s become indifferent to the thought of torture and the many ways the hunter association avoids accountability for the many crimes that continue to take place in the world ; his abilities now no longer prioritize defense and restraint but now are a testament to how far he’s willing to go for his version of justice ; he’s willing to sacrifice his lifespan and immeasurable amount of times so he can use the strength and talents of himself and others around him to ensure his justice. After the murder of the kurta clan krollo develops his ability to steal abilities from those who can become a threat to him but now kurapika after undergoing similar tragedy and experience is developing a similar ability to steal away the abilities of those who harmed him/ stand in his way to obtain his justice.
It's the note that they left that is really interesting. What did the Kurta even do to Meteor City? Either the Troupe were tricked into believing the Kurta did something to Meteor City or the Kurta somehow really did do something. But that doesn't make much sense, considering how isolated they were. They must've been framed by Sheila.
No, the line written on the paper is "we reject no one, so take nothing from us" is a well knowm motto of the Kurta clan village. It's their motto. The phantom troupe mocked the Kurta clan's motto.
No, the line written on the paper is "we reject no one, so take nothing from us" is a well knowm motto of the Kurta clan village. It's their motto. The phantom troupe mocked the Kurta clan's motto.
Does anyone feel off that the Phantom Troupe would do such a thing just for a job? I mean, sure Feitan was probably the ringleader expert on this one, but i just dont see the others taking part like that. Its even weirder given their revealed tragic meteor city back story. Really makes the troupe look childish. I feel like Togashi is cooking some kinda twist here somewhere.
The meaning for the existence of the phantom group is to make the world fear them Through that. They can keep their homeland safe This is the only way to protect their homeland since not exist anyone, any other way to protect their homeland
Nah uvogin literally said he was there and said the Kurta clan was strong, it’s pretty much confirmed they did indeed genocide them. I don’t even understand why anyone would think otherwise, they are explicitly evil people.
Considering how much the Phantom Troupe members use violence and cruelty, it makes sense that they did it. The motivation behind the formation of the Phantom Troupe was to become powerful and feared to protect the refugee population of Meteor City. To the Phantom Troupe, this is just another heinous act to add to their reputation.
The phantom troupe makes no sense. Bunch of kids having fun playing in a shit life. One of them gets brutally killed and dismembered. So they become monsters and do the same stuff and worse to avenge her. Their intention being to lure out the criminals that did it yet they've become nothing but killers.
I saw a video proposing that the Phantom troupe didn't do it. The reason for this was because in the newer chapters, the troupe's backstory was revealed. In it, they said that they would play the role of the villians. So the idea is that they were blamed for it, didn't do it, but took responsibility for it. This is supported by (if i remember correctly) Uvogin when at first he doesn't seem to remember the Kurta but then says later, once he was deeper in the fight, that he does remember. This would also explain why Chrollo does not seem to already own a pair of Scarlet eyes before the YorkNew auction.
Dude was 100% ready to smoke Gon and Killua for escaping and executed someone when his ally threatened his beloved. The dude's a scumbag right alongside the rest of the troupe.
I'm still skeptical it was the troupe, when kurapika faced uvogin, he mentioned his clan and the scarlet eyes which uvo was confused about. It was only after some lines were exchanged that uvo even bothered to acknowledge kurapika's accusation. It could be seen as a confession or uvo admitting it due to togashis writing that the troupe only takes on the role they are given, which we can infer given their backstories as actors
So... Guessing from the motto of meteor city "we reject noone so take nothing from us" i can think of few things 1. Kurta family wasn't all perfect and rejected certain groups, and Because phantom troupe followes the motto of meteor city they did "justice" on kurta clan 2. Kurta clan was a clan of good people who reject noone, and phantom troupe left those messages to mock them 3. Phantom troupe follows that motto but they're hypocrites 4. Maybe there is something more to kurta clan that we don't know about? Like a dark past when they were doing bad things? Idk it just feels very hypocritcial to leave that kind of message after literally going out of their way just to turture and harvest eyes from those people It either feels like a "eye for eye, tooth for tooth" kind of revenge, or act of spite
The first one shot of Naruto were published in 1997, but the first chapter is from September 1999. HxH first chapter: March 1998. In the One shot there isn't character like Sasuke (the copy of Kurapika) or the Uchiha Clan (Kuruta). I provided this info here cuz i know some ppl in the comments really need this.
But what if the kurtua clan are evil clan, and they were the one behind the kidnaping of kids from meteor city and they are responsible for the murder of sarasa (maybe they use kids as devil sacrifice ). Krollo finds out after long search and took revenge.
It isn't confirmed yet but if they didn't have nen it would be a huge miss for the kurta,they could've had dual nen affinities or if you're already a dual user,you'll be gifted with three nen affinities.that is,if the clans exchangability factor isn't exclusive to kurapika
Phantom troupe aside the prince Tseridich is also messed up in his own right dude took the eyes and had kurapikas best friend beheaded the succession arc is crazy
IIRC, it's been a while since I've watched HxH, this is made worse when you know that Chrollo only wanted the eyes because he thought that they were "pretty" and then sold/got rid of them after being bored with them.... Yet the Troupe threw a bitch fit when ONE of theirs were killed.
I realy like Chrollo, his design and ability is realy cool, and then i read the manga when he fight with Hisoka, after that i don't like him anymore.. 😅 I don't like him one bit now.. 😂
If i had a nickel for every time there was a village of people with red eyes who got massacred in anime i would have two nickels. Which is not a lot but it's weird that its happened twice
I attach to the theory of Sheila being Pariston and inducing the Phantom Troupe to do those things (maybe she told them they were the ones killing Sarasa)
I never got the appeal of having a dead person's eyes floating in a tank, simply to look at them. I mean they do not do anything for the owner. And eyes without a body are just creepy no matter how rare the colour.
Thing is Sasuke and the Uchihas were 100% based on them just Sasuke faith was worse cus he had to live a thousand yrs seeing his family die and tortured. Ppl love Kurapika(including me) but hate Sasuke cus he’s a child showing how cptsd can affect you, calling him emo and gay just cus bro had emotions and wasn’t emotionally constipated like Naruto and Tohru(fruits basket) and happy go lucky
I have to think that the massacre _wasn't as unwarranted as people think!_ Look at how strong he gets when his eyes are activated, I don't think the eyes mark them as targets for "trinket hunters" as much as a clan of assassins even more renowned than the Zoldycks and a million times more secretive (Killua has described his adventures to his father, but I'm willing to bet if he ever heard the description of or saw Kurapika's scarlet eyes he'd fear sweat and demand Killua never associate with him again)! I don't agree with the Phantom Troupe taking out the Kurta clan for nothing, the kid's obviously don't know so they had to take out innocents (imagine Uvogin doing that), but I look at their list of targets in the jobs they take and see common factors: They are brutal They do things to try to help (brutally) surprisingly often And they usually _punch up_ with their targets (the mafia), rarely punching down (the side-group of Chimera-Ants that moved into/threatened Meteor City) ....but there's a common theme in the clients they chose to take, and while it's usually self serving, I have also witnessed it being done to help, so which was the Kurta Clan? And don't tell me it's _"just for the money,"_ (self serving) because, also, _what did they do with all that money!?!?_
I think the Kurta were secretly evil, and Kurapika only highlights how dangerous they would have been as a specialized group. They were going to off the world, or something, and Kurapika is actually holding this revenge for people who _technically_ saved him
Forced to watch their family members being horrifically tortured right in front of each other, from children to the elderly. Forced to inflict injuries and fight one another. And all of them helpless, as they'd see one member after another being decapitated and their bodies defiled.

@@su4682a lot of anime isn’t meant for children
@@SinstatHxH anime started aimed at older kids and younger teens, but eventually the themes were mature enough that the show got an ma rating (specifically halfway through the phantom troupe arc) the thing is at the time anime was still heavily censored so hxh doesn't quite have the gore of the manga but it does a decent enough job showing the gravity ofbthe situation otherwise like the bomber, sure Genthru's kills aren't as gorey but it's pretty dark when he turns someone's face into a smoldering husk instead of just blowing it off.
Even though it's canon it still sounds weird to me, because we never really see the troupe act with this much cruelty elsewhere
And yet the phantom troupe had the audacity to feel emotions about eachothers well being.
I wonder if Kurapika ever has kids to restart the Kurta Clan lineage or plans to die as the sole member left so that people stop pursuing their eyes?
time for the goat Hisoka to take out the trash
Can’t wait to see him fight phinks and nobunaga
As it tends to go for people like the Phantom Troupe, “If not careful you are sure to become the monster you started to fight against.”
Is so sad to think they did it all one and only to cause fear and hate. Idk if that's what Togashi meants with the Kurta Clan and Phatom Troupe story, but for me is a great exemplo of how violence only cause more violence
Reading this makes me smile with joy knowing what Hisoka plans to do to them
*FK PHANTOM TROUPE*
(This feeling hasn't changed in years and I don't think ever will for me!!)😅
Same. I despise every single one of them
It’s honestly crazy how much of a parallel the destruction of the Kurta clan has when compared to kurapika spiral into the person he’s becoming now ; when he first learns nen his abilities were mainly forms of defense and restraining nen until he fights uvogin . He becomes disgusted at uvogin while torturing him for information and when he asks uvogin why the troupe did what they did and how they could even enjoy it ; he simply laughs , telling kurapika that he didn’t really need to do a reason to do what he wanted to do anyways. Now months after he’s left York new city and joined the zodiacs he’s become indifferent to the thought of torture and the many ways the hunter association avoids accountability for the many crimes that continue to take place in the world ; his abilities now no longer prioritize defense and restraint but now are a testament to how far he’s willing to go for his version of justice ; he’s willing to sacrifice his lifespan and immeasurable amount of times so he can use the strength and talents of himself and others around him to ensure his justice. After the murder of the kurta clan krollo develops his ability to steal abilities from those who can become a threat to him but now kurapika after undergoing similar tragedy and experience is developing a similar ability to steal away the abilities of those who harmed him/ stand in his way to obtain his justice.
Never thought I'd say this but, in Hisoka we trust 🙏🙏🙏
I find it weird that I agree with you on that
*Also bungee gum has properties of both gum and rubber*
It's the note that they left that is really interesting. What did the Kurta even do to Meteor City? Either the Troupe were tricked into believing the Kurta did something to Meteor City or the Kurta somehow really did do something. But that doesn't make much sense, considering how isolated they were. They must've been framed by Sheila.
Saw some theory saying Sheila is Paristan loool and he set this all up.
No, the line written on the paper is "we reject no one, so take nothing from us" is a well knowm motto of the Kurta clan village. It's their motto. The phantom troupe mocked the Kurta clan's motto.

@@imthelemonguy It's not... That's the Meteor City motto... What the fuck are you talking about
@@imthelemonguyso you actually read the manga or do u only watch yt shorts
Does anyone feel off that the Phantom Troupe would do such a thing just for a job?
I mean, sure Feitan was probably the ringleader expert on this one, but i just dont see the others taking part like that. Its even weirder given their revealed tragic meteor city back story. Really makes the troupe look childish.
I feel like Togashi is cooking some kinda twist here somewhere.
The meaning for the existence of the phantom group is to make the world fear them
Through that. They can keep their homeland safe
This is the only way to protect their homeland since not exist anyone, any other way to protect their homeland
Absolutely agreed
Nah uvogin literally said he was there and said the Kurta clan was strong, it’s pretty much confirmed they did indeed genocide them. I don’t even understand why anyone would think otherwise, they are explicitly evil people.
Wow so they sacrifice so many just for "prevention" 😥
So thats why Kurapika brings a shovel.
Psychological warfare.
Phantom Troupe, but we have a sad story while growing up. Please don't take us out.
“The Phantom Troupe is morally grey, I swear! They had a bad childhood! Th-the Prince is really to blame!”
That's what the Los Zetas cartel did for real.
That ending scene complete made me forgive not having kurapika in the final arc in the 2011 version so cold tbh 🧊
Considering how much the Phantom Troupe members use violence and cruelty, it makes sense that they did it. The motivation behind the formation of the Phantom Troupe was to become powerful and feared to protect the refugee population of Meteor City. To the Phantom Troupe, this is just another heinous act to add to their reputation.
Cant wait for the rest of the phantom troupe to get destroyed by kurapika
Uvogin did described the fight against the clan, he said they were strong.
The phantom troupe makes no sense. Bunch of kids having fun playing in a shit life. One of them gets brutally killed and dismembered. So they become monsters and do the same stuff and worse to avenge her. Their intention being to lure out the criminals that did it yet they've become nothing but killers.
I saw a video proposing that the Phantom troupe didn't do it. The reason for this was because in the newer chapters, the troupe's backstory was revealed. In it, they said that they would play the role of the villians. So the idea is that they were blamed for it, didn't do it, but took responsibility for it.
This is supported by (if i remember correctly) Uvogin when at first he doesn't seem to remember the Kurta but then says later, once he was deeper in the fight, that he does remember. This would also explain why Chrollo does not seem to already own a pair of Scarlet eyes before the YorkNew auction.
It’s hard for me to believe nobunaga would do something like this 😢
Dude was 100% ready to smoke Gon and Killua for escaping and executed someone when his ally threatened his beloved. The dude's a scumbag right alongside the rest of the troupe.
It's just a shame that Kurta clan didn't study nen. They could've put up a fight and their had a higher chance to survive
They likely did have Nen users among them since Uvo said they were strong
imagine if Kurta Clan knows Nen + their scarlet eyes, They all can do the 6 types of nen. They will not be defeated easily with that.
And that's why i loved characters who had unstable emotions like Kurapika and Neferpitou
I'm still skeptical it was the troupe, when kurapika faced uvogin, he mentioned his clan and the scarlet eyes which uvo was confused about. It was only after some lines were exchanged that uvo even bothered to acknowledge kurapika's accusation. It could be seen as a confession or uvo admitting it due to togashis writing that the troupe only takes on the role they are given, which we can infer given their backstories as actors
so THIS is where danzo got his idea from lol
That “female traveler” is the one that got them massacred…
The fact Tsereidnich is implied to be worse than the Phantom Troupe enough Kurapika isnt actively hunting the Troupe anymore is so fascinating to me.
I strongly believe that this was the basis for the sharingan. Even the activation ie. emotional trauma is the same as well.
The Spiders are cool and likeable, but let's not forget how monstrously evil they are
So... Guessing from the motto of meteor city "we reject noone so take nothing from us" i can think of few things
1. Kurta family wasn't all perfect and rejected certain groups, and Because phantom troupe followes the motto of meteor city they did "justice" on kurta clan
2. Kurta clan was a clan of good people who reject noone, and phantom troupe left those messages to mock them
3. Phantom troupe follows that motto but they're hypocrites
4. Maybe there is something more to kurta clan that we don't know about? Like a dark past when they were doing bad things?
Idk it just feels very hypocritcial to leave that kind of message after literally going out of their way just to turture and harvest eyes from those people
It either feels like a "eye for eye, tooth for tooth" kind of revenge, or act of spite
The first one shot of Naruto were published in 1997, but the first chapter is from September 1999. HxH first chapter: March 1998.
In the One shot there isn't character like Sasuke (the copy of Kurapika) or the Uchiha Clan (Kuruta).
I provided this info here cuz i know some ppl in the comments really need this.
This why i wanted Kurapika to continue his hunt sooner
Hisoka is gonna annihilate them 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯
Funny thing is the phantom troupes actually forget them
But what if the kurtua clan are evil clan, and they were the one behind the kidnaping of kids from meteor city and they are responsible for the murder of sarasa (maybe they use kids as devil sacrifice ). Krollo finds out after long search and took revenge.
The phantom troupe is a group of thief/bandit
They were after the scarlet eye
Kurapika is my hxh favourite character
KURAPIKA AND HISOKA ARE THE TROUP'S COUNTER
I love hxh
Keep in mind things like this really did happen in real life with indigenous tribes being the targets
sasuke and this mf be wildin
The Kurta Clan is now drowning in an indescribable emptiness 🎸🎸🔥🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🗣❗️🔥🗣🎸🎸🔥
i suppose Kurta fighters are strong but more likely not nen users. pls. correct me if my theory is wrong
It isn't confirmed yet but if they didn't have nen it would be a huge miss for the kurta,they could've had dual nen affinities or if you're already a dual user,you'll be gifted with three nen affinities.that is,if the clans exchangability factor isn't exclusive to kurapika
Without Nen, Uvo would not have said they were strong
The Phantom Troup did it to obtain the names of the men who hurts their friend in the past
Phantom troupe aside the prince Tseridich is also messed up in his own right dude took the eyes and had kurapikas best friend beheaded the succession arc is crazy
So explain to me, what purpose does the eyes serve? Beyond status.
iirc they're just pretty and even after death have the glowing red hue
IIRC, it's been a while since I've watched HxH, this is made worse when you know that Chrollo only wanted the eyes because he thought that they were "pretty" and then sold/got rid of them after being bored with them.... Yet the Troupe threw a bitch fit when ONE of theirs were killed.
damn, i felt like i unlocked the sharingan when reading the caption out loud without volume.. i read it like i was the narrator 💀💀
I realy like Chrollo, his design and ability is realy cool, and then i read the manga when he fight with Hisoka, after that i don't like him anymore.. 😅
I don't like him one bit now.. 😂
Yeah, he feels cheap and petty now doesn't he.
Nowhere near as cool when he fought the Zoldycks
Holy F, same. When I was a kid, I thought he was cool before but as I grew up and understood what they did, I then always think he needs to vanish
Well he is a bandit after all
This story sounds horrible but a nice story to explore if new season is coming
If i had a nickel for every time there was a village of people with red eyes who got massacred in anime i would have two nickels. Which is not a lot but it's weird that its happened twice
I attach to the theory of Sheila being Pariston and inducing the Phantom Troupe to do those things (maybe she told them they were the ones killing Sarasa)
I never got the appeal of having a dead person's eyes floating in a tank, simply to look at them. I mean they do not do anything for the owner. And eyes without a body are just creepy no matter how rare the colour.
I hear they're popular villain decorations!
Some of y'all still gonna crush on Machi
Phantom troupe should be left in dark continent themselves
Me : Read the title and see "is an aw..."
My brain : dame that so AWesome 😎
Bet Fetain had fun with that one jeez that's brutal
Thing is Sasuke and the Uchihas were 100% based on them just Sasuke faith was worse cus he had to live a thousand yrs seeing his family die and tortured. Ppl love Kurapika(including me) but hate Sasuke cus he’s a child showing how cptsd can affect you, calling him emo and gay just cus bro had emotions and wasn’t emotionally constipated like Naruto and Tohru(fruits basket) and happy go lucky
Itachi is like well tnx now I won't be reincarnated in this world now spider gang😅
That pink hair girl is still a smash
Machi? Ye man same here fr
Sickos go touch grass go on a date or something 😅
@@m1op548Bro, sometimes you gotta appreciate perfection, no cap
My poor babies😢😢😢
From where is the third picture from?
Sasuke has the same thing except he saw his brother kill they're mother and father it was sad just like kurapika
Go get em Hisoka. Hunt em one by one.
having a nen user who can provoke strong emotions would make the process less of a hassle
Plus twist is that villagers were actually killers and did horrible things for money and power
Kurapika will probably get an end of series main villain level of power boost when he meets the perpetrators!!😂😂😂
That’s why I ain’t gonna feel a way when hisoka get ‘em
And mfs have the absolute audacity to create Chrollo x Kurapika. Istg some of you people are just slow.
I have to think that the massacre _wasn't as unwarranted as people think!_
Look at how strong he gets when his eyes are activated, I don't think the eyes mark them as targets for "trinket hunters" as much as a clan of assassins even more renowned than the Zoldycks and a million times more secretive (Killua has described his adventures to his father, but I'm willing to bet if he ever heard the description of or saw Kurapika's scarlet eyes he'd fear sweat and demand Killua never associate with him again)!
I don't agree with the Phantom Troupe taking out the Kurta clan for nothing, the kid's obviously don't know so they had to take out innocents (imagine Uvogin doing that), but I look at their list of targets in the jobs they take and see common factors:
They are brutal
They do things to try to help (brutally) surprisingly often
And they usually _punch up_ with their targets (the mafia), rarely punching down (the side-group of Chimera-Ants that moved into/threatened Meteor City)
....but there's a common theme in the clients they chose to take, and while it's usually self serving, I have also witnessed it being done to help, so which was the Kurta Clan?
And don't tell me it's _"just for the money,"_ (self serving) because, also, _what did they do with all that money!?!?_
I think the Kurta were secretly evil, and Kurapika only highlights how dangerous they would have been as a specialized group. They were going to off the world, or something, and Kurapika is actually holding this revenge for people who _technically_ saved him
