Succession war Kurapika

I've completed all the available HXH chapters (400), and there were a few scenes that really stood out to me with Kurapika.

I love and adore him as the main character of this arc, and we've seen his perspective and his downward spiral in yorknew.

Seeing him now, and how far he's strayed definitely makes his POV the most interesting to me.

I wanted to point out/ talk about some of the panels throughout the SW.

This panel especially stood out to me, and it's one of my favorites out of the entire manga. He mentions how every time he got a part of his brethren back- he lost something. While I think it could be a physical presence, I think he's talking about himself here more than anything.

Each time he's threatened, coaxed, paid people off, he's lost a part of himself.

Kurapika strays away from his relationships, while to protect them- and also what I believe is out of guilt (and the other which I'll go over in a moment). I think he knows what he's doing to himself, and I don't think he can handle facing it head on, or risking harming his friends physically or emotionally.

And again, when Kurapika agrees to join the zodiacs.

Straying even from Leorio, it's clear he'd rather face things alone, and without distractions. Which is exactly what they are, distractions.

His quest to collect his family is coming to an end. "Where would I go?" I think he means this in a literal, and metaphorical sense. Where will he end up by the end of this? Which path will he go down? He has no place to call home, and he truly believes he has nothing left, and nobody to welcome him back.

Despite having allies, and who quickly became close friends.

He didn't realize it at the time, but shortly after teaming up with Bill and others- he understood the importance of allies.

"Things didn't proceed so simply", things weren't as simple as gathering pawns, and walking the path of revenge alone.

He formed genuine bonds that mean more to him than simple pawns for his quest. He's now torn between his isolation, and his care for his friends. Despite this, he will continue to punish himself and walk this path alone- it's much harder than he'd originally intended. Pushing his friends away to complete his goal, because it serves as his only purpose in his eyes. Even if he knows it's wrong.

Oito asks if spying on the 4th prince is for his convenience. Kurapika takes a moment, and tells her this is simply a strategic choice. I don't think he's lying, but I do think he wants to protect her, and wobble- while still keeping contact with the Prince.

At the moment, he will prioritize protecting the two of them. I think it happens to align with his goal, but it isn't necessarily for his convenience.

The reason I bring this up is to highlight that despite the fact he wants to push his friends away, and work towards his goal- he won't risk the lives of others.

He says he will repeat it as many times as needed, that they are there to protect her and the prince. To trust him.

He tries to be someone who will risk everything for the sake of recovering the eyes, but deep down he can't. Much like how he cannot truly abandon his friends, only isolate himself.

Kurapika is loyal, and unwilling to sacrifice others for the sake of his goal. He forced a stalemate, and took advantage of his nen knowledge to level out the playing field. A stalemate buys them more time, making it so it won't be as easy for experienced nen users to take advantage of non nen users.

It was a brilliant idea that may be risky, but also offers protection for him, and the queen.

During this conversation with Mizaistom, it's clear that Kurapika has not abandoned all of his morals, he wants to avoid killing the Prince despite having the remaining eyes. He would rather try other methods, and is opposed to killing.

Mizaistom and Kurapikas dynamic is one of my favorites, but that's for another time.

That's all I have to talk about, for now. I wanted to go over my favorite panels, and his relationships in the succession war.

Finally finished rereading the Succession War and wow, Kurapika is so much sassier that I remember? Like in this arc alone he:

Pretty much auto-rejected poor Leorio’s email request after months of ignoring his texts and finding out he missed Gon’s near-death incident--like you'd think he'd want to stay a little more in touch lol

Straight up insulted the intelligence of 9/12 Zodiacs on his first day for not realizing there was a traitor (“How do you know?” “How do you not?”)

Roasted Bisky for no apparent reason just because she wanted to clarify that she’d get paid which can’t be that odd of a question considering he works in the mafia (”I’d think confirming that would be unnecessary with normal comprehension skills”) but they were definitely going to clash at some point anyway so…

Deliberately selected words and slowed his statements to provoke Danjin so he could threaten to shoot him (the smug ”Did you see what I did there?” lmao) although it was well-deserved.

Not to mention he refused to teach Gon just to proceed by introducing the entire first floor of the Black Whale to nen and personally opening their nodes. Come to think of it, he had some moments in Yorknew too where he came off strong (RIP Leorio being told he hadn’t changed much right after the guy complimented him), so maybe I just have a false perception of politeness from Kurapika by relation due to his proximity to Killua during the Hunter Exam arc.

[linhzard]

maybe two years ago i read @pa-cha-ran 's fic Caveat Venditor on ao3 and ... it distresses me so badly that i will never find something with this exact vibe ever again. anyway i promptly brainrotted about them for weeks and this small ref sheet came out of it. i thrust upon u my 2021/2022 art i cant remember. if you like rarepairs, slowburn, and incredible character contextualization, i hiiiiighly recommend this fic as well as the rest of this author's hxh ficography their fics are sooo personal to me i reread almost every one every year okay byeee
