like this if u think kurapika is beautiful

Just a little note . Kurapika didn't know about gon's condition . When he knew in the manga he asked leorio if he can do anything to help but gon was already healed so there wasn't anything he can do

This video is cool and all but did you know Bungee Gum has the properties of both rubber and gum.

When Gon broke-down against Neferpitou, he got the same feeling Kurapika held, and holds for so long.

Kurapika's obvious emptiness during the York New arc is one of my favorite moments in the series. Truly depicts how damaging vengeance can be. Like the emptiness I feel right now cause Haikyuu just ended.😭

Kurapika brought a shovel to a fight. That's gangsta.

He lost himself .... in the end it goes to show the cost of vengenance and how detrimental and damaging it can truly be to follow a path of darkness. I love his determination and conviction but in my opinion it was ultimately his downfall. I hope he acquires serenity in the future ... he deserves it .

People need to stop comparing Kurapika to Sasuke they are two totally different Characters and it’s more than just the regular revenge motive

“ I only fear that my rage Will fade over time”

I always thought it was very interesting how he didn’t attempt to hide his rage, he was open and upfront about his goal no matter the cost. So often character try to hide their mission. But his morals and logic are almost at war with his goal, yet he will not give up under any circumstance.

The portrayal of Kurapika's descent in the older HxH anime still haunts me. The tone and the animation was so grim.

Revenge stories/characters can be a dime a dozen. But damn they are always interesting to me. With the little justice the worlds has or gives. There’s a certain level of fantasy- by raw individual power anyone could defy those deserving of there rage. But the tragedy is making choices based on anger alone. Will not only reap negative consequences in the long run. But by the satisfaction of your rage it will vanish, and you’ll be hallow. Cathartic in the moment it is to know some kind of justice for the wrongs of the world. But at the cost of yourself in the long run.

I'd rather be lost in my rage and fury, than be lost in the endless unknowing of what my purpose is in the world. If I could live blind in my wrath to avoid being aware of my emptiness within the world and my purpose within it, I would pay that price for my vengeance.

Kurapika isn’t the original Sasuke, Sasuke is the discount Kurapika.

"Forget revenge. You aren't strong enough." - Kurapika's mentor How I wish he took his words into consideration at least.....

Gon has already payed a huge price for revenge, so he'll probably be the one to save kurapika from self destruction

He truly is an amazing character, I could watch analysis on him forever lol

I'm literally watching the "troupe" arc in HxH and since starting this series, he's became my favorite 😭 thank you for making this ❤

Kurapika gonna give his body to Hisoka to get strong enough to kill the Phantom Troupe.... Oh wrong anime

I really hope he finds himself by the end of the series and doesn't end up being consumed by his vengeance. I just want my man to move on 😫

Togashi said by the end of the series the Phantom Troupe would all be dead, whether or not that happens, who knows if Kurapica will be the one to carry it out in full in the end.

This made me tear up :p I need Togashi to finish this man's story.... The current manga arc is insane as a kurapika fan. Whenever you check it out you'll dig it

You really hit at the core with describing kurapika's personal dilemma sage.

I’m pretty sure Kurapika won’t descend completely. As driven and determined as he is, there’s still a part of him that’s wondering whether his path truly os worth it (which was demonstrated in the manga when he reminisced about his past in one of the later chapters. ) I’m thinking something drastic will have to happen to either him or one of the members of the main group in order for him to grasp the gravity of his situation. In addition to Kurapika showing death flags, (him lighting the number 4 up on his finger with nen, and him passing out due to the overuse of Emperor’s Time) Tserriednich and the Phantom Troupe are all together in the same ship. Personally, I think something drastic will happen to Kurapika in this arc, which will lead him to be incapacitated with Nen and have to travel with Leorio + Gon (if possible) in order to find a cure for his ailments, (possibly in the Dark Continent) which in turn will allow character development and screentime for one of the more underrated characters, Leorio. The saving of Kurapika could allow completion to Leorio’s past regret of not being able to save his friend, and finding the cure of Kurapika’s nen ailment could also allow Gon to retrieve his nen. Either way, I’m 100% positive Kurapika won’t die. He’s a solid character that’s been built and worked on too much just to die a cruel and painful death. Togashi will add death scares in order for us to ponder more about the possibility of his death, but ultimately, Kurapika could begin working together with the main group to beat the Phantom Troupe instead of working on it alone. Kurapika dying would destroy the main group and would steer the series in an unprecedented direction, given the fact that Kurapika is a beloved character. Lastly, it’d just make sense to focus on Kurapika of Leorio’s character in this or in the next arc. Gon is currently in Whale Island and Killua is too busy traveling the world with Alluka. Either way, if none of my predictions turn out to be right, I’m still sure the next arc will turn out amazing. I respect Togashi and his genius mind, but I do hope he works on Leorio’s character soon. I love the man too much for him to have literally zero screentime.

I think the most tragic thing about Kurapika is that he IS kind and compassionate, even at the end of the series. In the black whale arc, it becomes so obvious that his instinct is always to act with kindness and compassion, and he has to actively push that down, has to actively push away those who love him. He thinks he needs his rage to stay strong and to give him purpose in life, but there is already so much more to him, he has real friends who care for him and with whom he could lead a rich and meaningful life, and he KNOWS that - he just actively decides not to see it. It makes his path just that much more devastating because you really get the feeling that there is something to lose. In true greek tragedy fashion, he really is the one standing in his own way and manufacturing his own downfall - and the only one who can maybe at some point let go of his deep hurt and save himself.

Thank you for using my cover! :00 I'm honored 🥺 love Kurapika and this vid :)

I'm not the biggest expert on HxH, but it seems to me that the way of the World in HxH is just messed up. You have these people who are just walking beings of destruction. How do you contain that. The Hunter Program seems like it's supposed to operate as some kind of deterrent for criminals and the like but they are mostly driven by their own desires. Gon's father is a perfect example. Living in a world like, I see why the Phantom Troupe do how they do. Karupika is boy trying to make sense in a senseless world. Trying to right a wrong that should have never been allowed to happen. I mean damn, this dude had to see Lil' Cus Eyeball for sale at auction! Wtf? How do you deal with that? About as well as Kurapika is I guess...

Im just here to hear the voice tbh ....

from the events in the manga so far it seems like Togashi is going to move towards shifting the object of his revenge to another singular man manga readers know what I mean the set up and build up so far in the latest arc is amazing

I didn't want to watch this because I've been meaning to read Hunter X Hunter but have put it off due to the myriad hiatuses it's had. Glad I did though, and it seems like it was free of major spoilers.

Sage, you are truly a master of narration and analysis. You deliver to your viewers flawlessly and it’s beautiful. As beautiful as Kurapika.

Something to note about Kurapika is his nen ability. He can only utilize it's full power against someone who took his clan's eyes. It shows that another price he paid for vengeance was his own future as a nen user.

Kurapika is my favorite and it makes me sad to see him go down the path of vengeance

This is a personal question for you Sage, but anybody may answer if they wish: What is your goal in life? For me it is simply to grow in every aspect I can, while bringing happiness and inspiration to others. Spreading love as much as I can, but within my own boundaries. Planting seeds to grow wealth for not only myself, but hopefully all I can reach.

Now if only Togashi can get back to writing this amazing work of fiction so we can finally see where kurapika, and everyone else for that matter end up.

Man i just found your channel after i watched the video of “Madara Philosophy” , and checked some of your other videos. And all what i want to say is that you the only youtuber who does not make shit up for clout, i really like that you are honest and you bring up actual points! Would look forward to your videos from now on✌️🐐

One of my favorite characters in the series since a complex character who I wish will have a happy ending and find the purpose and his reason for living.

I just finished hxh and it’s one of my favorites now

Give a thumbs up if sage should put out merch( buying on spot)👍🏾

One of my favorite content creator making a HxH video...Bliss

Kurapika could be seen as a commentary on Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho (which is Togashi's first majorly successful manga). He seems to be Kurama if he were possessed/obsessed with revenge. While Kurama has a vengeance streak 1000 miles wide when he's mad enough (see his battle with the Elder Toguro) he isn't dominated by it. Kurama is in control of himself and his rage most of the time. by contrast, Kurapika is dominated by his anger. Kurama strove to improve himself and put his past behind him, and as a result he gained a family. Kurapika was the opposite. He couldn't move on or make peace with his past, and his vengeance cost him dearly.

the character intrigued me, though I didn't care enough for the series to keep watching at a certain point, and after your essay I feel like I can relate to that character alot x)

Hunter x Hunter upload? I'm all for it.

All this talk about revenge reminds me of a quote from a significantly more light-hearted show: Dan Vs. The quote being, “Revenge is a dish best served immediately.” Kurapika has been spending years of his life training and hunting down the Phantom Troupe to avenge his dead clan. And his major Nen abilities cut his lifespan with every use. Combined with his declining mental state, his obsession with revenge will easily kill him at a young age. Or worse, turn him into something horrific or unrecognizable to the people who cherish him. We can only wonder if Kurapika can achieve his goals without becoming a monster akin to the Spiders or becoming another corpse.

I just started rewatching hxh! thx for the impeccable timing you always come through!

In a time where disappointing content is being churned out for the masses. You give us not only hope, but a better environment for the platform. Overtime your work has done nothing short but inspire me. Not just on the screen. But away from it as well. Thank you.

The most kind ppl are often the most dangerous

People like to discredit kurpika for being a saskue clone of vengeance but the reality is so far from it kurpika can be said to live to only avenge his clan like sauske, but the difference is that kurpika is doing is means to a end unlike sauske he wants to restore his clan, unlike kurpika who can’t restart his clan Sage rain if you read this I’m happy you made this video Ive been waiting patiently to see thank you 🙏🏽

Your videos are... Just perfect. Your analysis is is amazingly in depth and observant. I just enjoy listening, knowing someone finally gets characters the way I do. Great work

Togashi (the author of HxH) already said that Kurapika IS going to die at some point in the series. During an interview, when he was asked about the fate of Kurapika and the Spiders his answer was "They'll all die".

You have the BEST Anime/Anime Character analyses for sure. Keep up the work.

this was a great analysis. usually i dont have too much patience to watch these types of videos but i loved this and I definitely think I understand his character more now. Thanks for the great work!

That background music.. is heart ❤️

My guy, I'm on a Hunter x Hunter mass binge! You don't know how happy I was when I saw the upload! This video is amazing, all I gotta say is them English dubs make me cringe hahaha I really hope you can do more from Hunter x Hunter. I love Kurapika, but my man needs some therapy and hugs all-round.

Can u do a video on Sasuke Sage's Rain? Great character and so misunderstood by the fandom

I'm legit happy I didnt see this last night before going to bed. Would have started me on a sage rain binge and I would have stayed up too late and work would have sucked

Phenomenal analysis!

Great analyse,Great video,Great Channel

this was extremely well made, we def need this show back

Kurapika is my favorite character of all time

god this is a great video on the anime kurapika I love this so much thank you for making this

Damn, came back for a rewatch. Almost cried😭

If you can't be bothered to read the manga, the first movie covers Kurapika's back story and that's completely canon.

Tserriednich 'bout to have a FIELD DAY with Kurapika when they finally find each other

The life of an Avenger is pretty fucking depressing you only live for the sake of avenging those dear to you never thinking of the future only concentrating on what was lost in your past. Beyonce said it best in that Pepsi commercial "embrace your past but live for now."

Probably my favorite video thus far!!

We don't deserve this one. But we are all here for it. Ty SR

really cried to this

Yoooo Omg Ive been waiting for this video forever

Absolutely adoring the videos, you should make a discord server

He’s such a great character but he’s in a show full of amazing characters so he sometimes gets overshadowed

Can you please do video on Might Guy. He is so simple but yet so powerful philosophically.

You should do Gon and Killua or other topics that got covered in hxh I love the show and I love you as a content creator can’t wait to see your future videos keep up the good work 😜

Only recently found your channel but so far I really like the videos you have put out, this video especially was great keep up the good work

Idk why but I found your channel today, Keep it up

i love these kind of vids, please continue to make more.

i wish i found ur channel sooner ur videos truly are beautiful

Thank you Sage’s Rain do this video on My Birthday that just past week I just turned 18 I love all of your videos

Along with Thorfinn from vinland saga, Kurapika is the character I think of dealing with revenge.

If you haven’t already you should do meliodas and talk about the curse he has set on him and his love Elizabeth in the anime The 7 deadly sins he has a sad past and history when we learn about the curse set on him in season 4

I like sasuke, i just wanted him to act like kurapika, to appreciate his friends, naruto, sakura and kakashi.

FINALLY A HXH VIDEO

Kurapika is tied for my favorite character but also Killua and Hisoka

Love your content. Great video.

Do a video on the character of kaneki from tokyo ghoul pls

If he wants to understand the mindset of the troupe, he must go to where the troupe was formed, meteor city. In my own opinion.

Please do one on Oikawa!!! On his journey of reaching the top!!

Sasuke discovered the corrupt world while kurapika is now dancing in the darkness.

this is amazing but sad his lost will drive him to vengeance

Never watched this anime before, I will definitely give it a try!

Bro I love how you make these videos through philosophers view point. I dont normally comment on videos but i had to let you know that these videos you make are amazing. Keep at it King!

Love your videos

togashi said that kurapika and the phantom troupe will all die and its breaking my heart 💔

kurapika is honestly in my top 5 characters in fiction

Let’s never forget this man brought a shovel to his fight with Uvogin.

Please do more Marvel characters! Similar style to the Wolverine and Batfamily videos!!! Love your work!

Love you vid keep it up

Kurapika reminds me of Sasuke Uchiha in Naruto. His rage is equivalent to Sasuke and his hatred for his brother. Sage, your description of this character's first appearance reminded me of Shikamaru too. A person who's a master of logic disguised by a different face.

Did anyone else realize Yorknew is New York rearranged??!!?

A video about Naoiki ursawa's Monster would be great
