Shuriken: In the Hunter Exam, Kurapika had at least two shuriken hidden under his vest. Like his knives, they are an additional precaution. In the Hunter × Hunter The Real 4D attraction movie at Universal Studios Japan, Kurapika's bounty was 400 million. There must be social ties between other flesh collectors. A network of scum who make a contest of their disgusting appetites. I'll arrest them all, every last one!!" [44]

Bokken: During the Hunter Exam, Kurapika wielded two wakizashi-sized bokken as his weapon of choice. The handles of his two bokken are wrapped in bandages and linked together by a thread, which allows Kurapika to wield them as a nunchaku. In the 1999 anime adaptation, the bokken are revealed to actually be sheathed swords.To Mizaistom, who mentioned the Scarlet Eyes) "From this point on, choose your words wisely. This is no place for you outsiders. I am indeed looking for their eyes. What of it?" [85]

Kurapika has all the benefits granted by his status as a Hunter. As a Zodiac, his authority in the Hunter Association is inferior only to that of the chairman herself. Being Light Nostrade's right-hand man, he had power over the clan and is now the boss of Light's new organization. Kurapika's powers increase greatly as the series progresses. Hisoka was the first to grow interested in him, listing him as one of the "green fruit" with vast potential. Although at the beginning he was weaker than Killua, during the Yorknew City arc he had become stronger than him due to his Nen abilities. He is one of the few characters (the others being Hisoka and Silva) to have killed a member of the infamous Phantom Troupe, and a very potent one. [59] His exceptional intelligence is matched by high combat prowess and iron will that stems from his desire for revenge. He is also very versatile as he has been seen wielding different weapons. In his showdown with Uvogin, he used his chains when afar and at close quarter combat. [58] While he usually maintains a calm and collected persona, he tends to lose his cool whenever the Phantom Troupe or his clan, are nominated, often turning violent.

Kurapika's name is briefly mentioned in Chapter 91 of the Roboco of the Me & Roboco manga. He was supposed to be what Motuso cosplayed as.

Vict (1st) • Nipaper (2nd) • Bladge (3rd) • Laroc (4th) • Tuffdy (5th) • Nagmum (6th) • Vergei (7th) (transferred to Marayam) Scarlet Eyes: When a member of the Kurta Clan becomes enraged, their eyes turn a vivid shade of red, which triggers an amazing increase in physical strength. In this state, even as a child, Kurapika could gain the upper hand in terms of speed and strength against three adults and easily overpowered them. However, Kurapika admitted that when his eyes turn scarlet, he loses all restraint and rationality and becomes primal, which also occurs whenever he sees a spider. [20] Furthermore, overusing his Scarlet Eyes can have severe repercussions on his health, as doing so caused him to become incapacitated and feverish for more than one day without Melody's Nen ability managing to lower his body temperature. [79] His current limit is about 3 hours, after which the pain and fatigue become too intense and he passes out [101] for 3 times as long. Kurapika also speculates that repeated long uses or ones induced by stealing particularly powerful abilities may cause him to reach the limit earlier than 3 hours. [102] At some point during his Nen training, Kurapika learned to turn his eyes scarlet at will and acquired the ability to control his emotions. [112] 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] 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] The Viz translation omitted the "Chain" part of each chain's second name and the name "Dowsing Chain" entirely, using: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] Preternatural Perception: Even prior to learning Nen, he was one of the few candidates of the Hunter Exam to notice being followed by a proctor during the Third Phase. His first meeting with Izunavi demonstrated that he has a developed instinct, as he dodged an acorn imbued with Nen without knowing anything of inner energy, but understanding in a moment it would have been lethal for him to be hit. [113] Mizaistom reveals to Kurapika that he and Cheadle have already begun an internal investigation about the matter and that they reached the same conclusion that there's a mole among the Zodiacs; and since no one has direct connections to Beyond, all Zodiacs are considered suspects. He continues to explain that the former Chairman had appointed Pariston as the Vice-Chairman for entertainment while refusing to listen to any objections. Mizaistom voices his concern that Pariston might be a red herring to cover for the real spy. He admits to Kurapika that part of the reason he was chosen to join the Zodiacs was that he is an outsider, and therefore unrelated to either side. Mizaistom then demands that Kurapika keeps the existence of a mole in the Zodiacs a secret, and Kurapika agrees. Kurapika later apologizes to the rest of the Zodiacs for making accusations without having a grasp on the complicated situation within the Association and states that he is willing to use his connections with outlaws to offer information about Beyond and Kakin that government sources could never provide. Cheadle later assigns him to the Information Team with Mizaistom, Pyon, and Saccho in preparation for the voyage to the Dark Continent. [1] 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 [ ]

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. Though Kurapika holds Chrollo's life within his hands, he cannot intimidate the Phantom Troupe leader To Leorio) " Their eyes were stolen from every single body. All of them... Killed for what death creates. So I've sworn to capture the Phantom Troupe... And recover the eyes of my clan!!" [5]In Volume 11, the author revealed Kurapika was inspired by the Ohmu in Hayao Miyazaki's manga Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Even though Kurapika already has six points from his own and Tonpa's badges, he still helps Leorio find his target Ponzu, examinee #246. [27] As they are looking for the target, they again encounter Hisoka, who tells them to give him their badges if they want to live. Kurapika says that he will give him the badge #118 which only means 1 point to them, as for the other 3 badges, they will fight with their lives to protect them. Hisoka agrees, lets them go, and takes the badge #118. [28] 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]
