Cant think of anythng better than staying up all night and finding a video about your favorite character
Why do U like Kurapika
Krapika robbed Uvo.
You've clearly never dropped 4 tabs of Acid, and played the pink harmonica with the neighbor girl in the barnloft

My simple Dark Continent theory:
Ancient humanity was indeed part of the DC ecosystem back in the day. Human nature based around suffering led humanity to seek what would be a more peaceful life than what is found on the continent. This leads humans to going to the known world, but this also kind of explains the sort of “contract” humans have with the gatekeepers: Humanity gave up a harsh life on the DC to live a relatively peaceful life elsewhere, but as with anything Nen related, this comes at a cost - not being able to make use of the good things that existed on the continent (like nitro rice, unmanned rock, etc.).
The gatekeeper serves as a check for humanity trying to go back and get more out of their new living situation while enjoying relative peace in the known world. This is why you hear the terms “lesson” when the gatekeeper forces humans to bring back a threat and not anything good to the known world. I believe this is because the gatekeepers made a pact with ancient humanity when they first left for the known world to safeguard against human nature - nen user humans in the DC probably severely affected the DC ecosystem in some way, probably even being the most dangerous threat of all.
Theres so many unmentioned Possibilites here.
Maybe the Eyes are all Post-Mortem-Nen of 1 Single User who used Enhancement Nen or something to make his own little Clan.
Maybe normal Kurtas have the Potential but most never even learn of Nen,
or maybe no one knows or maybe all of them know.
Ever thought that it may be even just Kurapika BECAUSE he’s the Last Survivor? It wouldnt take that much Effort to make a Fail-Save that ‚supports’ the ‚Last Survivor’ if the Clan is ever wiped out.
We also dont know if it’s just ‚turns into Specialist’ or ‚change random to another Category you arent’ or ‚Change randomly to one of your Adjacent Categorys on the Nen-Ring’.
@@slevinchannel7589 I like the first one, making an ability only for it to be genetic later on sounds awesome for both story creation and ongoing sales
@@lavellelee5734 Thx
But are there still people on the dark continent and Don Freecs saw them and they helped him
I love this theory so much
to be fair, angry people with red eyes are more frightening than a cute bean-man
I concur.
When a youtuber keeps the manga alive more than the mangaka himself ever will....
Thanks for the video.
I hope that's not an insult to Togashi as it's not his fault that he has back pain.
@@Comicbroe405 jojolion is ending and the first thing he does s uploading hxh curta clan discussion
thats my liam
@@lorddukfoxyzeppeli7921 Lol... But's not what I was talking about. I was talking to the commentor.
@@Comicbroe405 WASNT GING at anfang of story riding on two creatures somewhere deep in the dark continent?
@@Comicbroe405 'Back pain'... that's the most insulting thing i've heard. Authors like Sui Ishida offered him to draw the manga for free. Even his wife, the author of sailor moon did. He refused all of them. He isn't working on HxH anymore, he just lost the desire to finish his manga, back pain is just an excuse. Don't get me wrong, he suffers from severe back pain, that's a fact, but that doesn't stop you from continuing your work after almost 10 years. Think of it as you like, but for me, the author just abandoned his fans.
I'm always reminded that the Chimera Ants lead by Meruem were considered class B threat level... Making anything class A or S from the dark continent soooooo terrifying
Going by scaling, the average chimera ant was about building to large building level. Moving to the squadron leaders who scale around city block to multi city block level, Which is pretty impressive considering not a lot of humans get that far in terms of raw power. The royal guard is high city block level to small town level. And then we have meruem who I would put at town level before the nuke and after put him at city level to debatably city level+ but it's safe to say he was atleast city level. So this means that the continent should have creatures that could possibly be continent or even higher, considering that the hunter hunter world is way way bigger than ours. What also makes them a threat is the natural abilities they possess.
there is a chance that classification was before they saw the ants being able to use nen
And they were class B but a threat to the existence of human??? like what’s after that???
I think people always misinterpret this ranking. Chimera ants as a whole are B rank. And had the chimera ants landed literally anywhere else, they would have been found and killed immediately. It was the simple fact that they landed in an extremely remote place that doesn't document anything and was really just a huge drug operation of a government is the ONLY reason they survived long enough to be a threat.
The ants are not B because they lack strength. The ants are B because it takes them far too long to reach that strength.
@@mentalpopcorn2304 this, and they could be negotiated with.
Their strength and destructive ratings were actually just as high as the other Calamities. The main reason why they received a B rank was because of their rate of reproduction and their ability to be negotiated with.
One thing that you left out is that when a Kurta activates their red eyes, they do gain a boost in power overall. And to normal humans this becomes supernatural. Also racisms doesn't have to be world wide. Not every town has magic beast that can shapeshift but maybe the town that Kurapika grew up near had some bad experience where some red eye guy killed a guy in one hit.
I think it makes more sense that the rest of the hunter hunter world is simply parts that broke off the dark continent and human/nen users were all apart of an extremely powerful race that regressed into human due to lack of external threats only reaching there full potential when they once again hunt or are hunted but are biologically much weaker then there ancestors.
Wow, great theory!
I like this idea to explain the magical Beasts. They are monsters deprived from the crazy resources of the DC just like the World Tree sapling.
This makes a lot of sense
Dude!!!
Or maybe some... Organism forcefully broke the continent off to save the humans? Or something
“It once consisted of 128 members, including kurapika, and now consists of exactly one member, including kurapika.”
That made me laugh too hard
I replayed that part too many times man 🤣
Dark humor from the Dark Continent.
Everybody is gangsta until Tonpa Sama decides to show he's true power
"he's"

Aww yes ronpa sempai
Tonpa is So OP that there’s literally a hunter commandment stating that anybody from the tonpa family is forbidden from showing their true power even meruem would have been in despair
@@nakamuraharu5367 ? Heist tf
How? HOW DOES HE STILL HAVE GOOD CONTENT??
It's conjuration.
Because it's not Dark Contentnent.
"Including kurapika" I died.
So did the kurta clan (not including kurapika)
I also died at that part XD
@@infernodnb420 Hi.
Wanna talk about Nen a bit?
i think this video brought me from the "acceptance" stage of grief back into "depression"
I always assumed Killua's beasty hand is just something humans can train themselves to do. Same as how he can fold steel with his bare hands.
same here. I though it was an assassin thing
It is. He says silva and zeno are even better at using it
@@666Kaca pretty sure feitan also has
Yes, is someting that in HxH world you can gain by training, as the same way he is inmune to poison and can dislocate his wrist at will. For me the Kurta eyes are just a mutation, they don't break the worldbuilding. If they are from the Dark Continent or not, is just a mutation on a world full of magic, is not so "ilogic" for something like that to happen.
@@luzobsidiana there were magic fox things in the first arc, it really isnt all that strange
Every time I see the Black Whale's wide grin I have to laugh :) I remember the first time I saw it in the manga, I had this bizarre thought "Whale Island must be a prototype of the Black Whale. Maybe the ship Don Freecss sailed". then 300 years later, it is overgrown with vegetation and inhabited as an island now. Somewhat of an insane random thought but the visual image of that massive whale shaped island sized ship (I mean it carries 200,000 people) with really only 1 other whale shaped island sized thing in HxH (Whale Island) just stuck with me. And Gon's house is the ONLY house on the top of the "head" of Whale Island. That is roughly where the command center of the Black Whale is located too. yes yes. crazy thoughts. but I cannot get it out of my brain :)
*INFO:* Uvogin pretty much confirms the abnormality of the Kurta Clan, claiming to Kurapika that the Boss wanted those eyes and they were really strong. Considering Uvogin almost lost himself in ectasy from his remembrance, the battle must have been really good.
For Killua and Illumi's hand transformation, there are two possibilities:
*1.* They are using the most minute amount of Aura to reshape their hand, with Killua not even realizing it is Aura.
*2.* Their Great Grandfather who visited the Dark Continent with Netero had his genetics altered in some way.
I personally think #1 is the most probable, as Killua had Illumi's needle in his head and had been exposed to his brother's Nen before. As we know from Wing-san, attacking someone with Nen can open up their aura nodes, implying that Killua could have already had it partially opened, enough to be effective as an assassin, but not enough to stunt his growth, as it is best to slowly open all of them, to maximize control, as Zushi is doing.
Killua developed the ability to change his hands through training (as every other assassin's ability he has), it's really not that hard to get :)
Possibily it does envolve unconscious aura/nen use yeah, but anyways that's that
I think there's non-nen abilities that people can acquire with training/dedication, like the mirage step Canary and Killua use, and a few other things seen along the way.
I will say there actually is a high chance Togashi thought of the dark continent early on in the story. If you look at his past work Yu Yu Hakusho, the climax was the demon world- I think the dark continent is Togashi refining that same concept
the first chapter of hunter x hunter hints toward dark continent and nen.
@@milanchapagain6713 How? :o
look at the map of the world, it's our map rearranged, and the new continent is a second africa in that world, being colonised by a Chinese themed empire no less which is something relative to the political machinations happening right now, and lake mobius is the lake of time, the dark continent is outside the lake of time and surrounds it, so demon or spirit world if we use the frame work of the world religions makes sense
Plus there are other manga/literary precedents of similar storylines. In Claymore, it's revealed that the entire world as they know it is a small part of a larger whole (very similar to HxH). In Dragon Ball, they start as normal martial artists and the scope gradually expands to other planets then the universe then the multiverse. In wuxia/xianxia novels, it's common for the protagonist to be born in a weak and small area of the world/universe. Then their talent brings them to the wider arena. Plus Yu Yu Hakusho. Togashi has definitely read other stories using this premise and has definitely refined his ideas since his first attempt at it!
@@Gawesomeify it's the classic country mouse heading to the big city, probably the original version of this trope
“The void doesn’t doesn’t discriminate, no matter how much pain someone else has, when those who entered or was born from it, no pain is singular”
This is a good theory I am shocked I never thought of it. How crazy would it be if in the manga(god willing it continues) Kurapika finds some of his ancient ancestors from the aboriginal Kurta clan on the DC. Would be amazing to see them all team up & kill the remaining troupe members, if Hisoka allows any to even make it off the boat to the dark continent.
I don't think the original Kurta will help fight the phantom troupe but I do think this theory holds some weight and Kurapika will meet/train with them. This also ties back into the normal world. When the expedition returns, they'll bring back a 'disaster' and Gyro, a foreshadowed villain, will probably make use of the Dark continent disasters that humanity knows about to set up the next arc or two. That would be a great setup for several more arcs but who knows how long it'll take!
@@Gawesomeify I think kurapika will eventually found out that his not the remaining member of his people since he would probably met the Kurta ancestors who had the same eyes with him. Technically that still not his tribe. But Atleast his not alone anyone of his Race.

I want more HxH so bad I would fight a homicidal clown for it.
Imagine a world where togashi didn't had health problems...
The keyword is imagine
Hunter X Hunter will be big 4 manga along with naruto,op, and bleach. TT
The sheer potential of the Dark Continent arc is insane. Chimera ant arc is already the greatest manga arc, imagine the Dark continent animated...
To add on, in the fight against Uvogin, he remarked that the Kurta clan was pretty strong so they were probably pretty decent Nen users.
Given their complete isolation from rest of society, it’s more likely that they discovered Nen on their own, which is possible only if they were naturally highly attuned to Nen due to their origins from the Dark Continent.
Another thing was how Uvogin was impressed with them. He said they were above average for people strength wise.
I thought that when Kurta activate their scarlet eyes, they get a boost in physical strength. Tho idk if they get any other abilities beyond that.
I think that's more like an adrenaline rush.
I think Tserriednich may be the real author in the Kurta Clan massacre. He have a lot of scarlet eyes along with another body parts. Also there's a head similar to Pairo's and the face inside of his Nen Beast mouth is identical to Pairo's face.
The kurta clan's outfit looks similar of the gate
i love the idea of the kurta clan all have the specialization affinity when their eyes are red. It would be cool if their affinity when their eyes are normal doesn't matter though. Like they could have any affinity when their eyes are normal. Would make that secret medicine to keep their eyes red have a very central role in their clan.
I always thought the Kurta clan was persecuted because they were located on a less developed part of the hunter x hunter world, somewhere similar to NGL where they wouldn't have the same exposure to other beings and such. Just my theory tho.
Potentially! It's hard to tell when you have no idea where in the world it is >__>;
Its not even nessesary, look in the real world, genocides for petty reasons of minorities are tragic mundane. I men they dont need a special reason other than them being different and a minority there.
@@NewWorldReview Theres so many unmentioned Possibilites here.

We also dont know if it’s just ‚turns into Specialist’ or ‚change random to another Category you arent’ or ‚Change randomly to one of your Adjacent Categorys on the Nen-Ring’.
are we gonna talk about how the infinity symbol on kurapika's outfit also resembles the infinity symbol on don freecss' book cover about the dark continent?
Also in kurapika’s memories manga, when the elder was giving the eye drops to kurapika and phiro, the bottle had the EXACT designs of the gatekeeper’s door
@@aria7048 SUSSSSSSSS
And another theory I read somewhere that Hisoka was paid by Pariston (which is highly unlikely) or Pariston set the events of Hunter Exam arc and beyond to get Kurapika on the ship to the Dark Continent and he may be the key to open the gates. So by the end of the Succession War, Mizaistom will betray him and Pika will be captured. Imagine Beyond Netero reaching up to the gates holding a half unconscious Pika by the hair. Pika is the key.
Okay I need a fanfic about that😮
there is a flaw in your theory. the dark continent was presented as a possibility since the beginning of the story. gin was already searching about it and the book was already known. that ninja dude was searching for it as well. he became a hunter to search for it.
He was looking for legendary ninja scrolls. Unless it's different in the manga, the anime kept it vague. And as for Gin, it was a mystery pretty much until Gon spoke to him.
@@TalkativeHands Hanzo was looking for the Hermit´s Scroll... Think about it for a second. The only hermit we know is don freaks.
Not only that, but hanzo has trained as a survivalist.
The hunter exam has a speciall connection to surviving in the wildness. The hunter association was funded for the dark continent exploration as well.
I think, just like melody or nanika, the hermit scroll is also connected to the dark continent.
I think the discourse about the unwritten potions of hxh leagues more interesting than actual hxh. but that’s a testament to how lasting and capturing the writing has been to this point. Hope we see more 🦆
My problem with the theory that the Phantom Troupe killed the Kurta off some kind of grudge is that Uvogin didn't recall the Kurta when Kurapika brought them up to him. When he did remember them, he just remembered enjoying the slaughter, but no grudge or anything. I always thought the point was that the very personal tragedy of the Kurta massacre to Kurapika was just another random act of slaughter, just business, to the Phantom Troupe. That was part of humanising them in the Yorknew arc. It's also why Kurapika doesn't hate the Troupe as much as he did, because even though Kurapika wants revenge, the Troupe has no innate grudge against him, other than for the death of Uvogin and Pakunoda.
Becoming Specialist later in Life sounds actually terrible.
And i dont mean overpowered, i mean underpowered,
as it directly clashed with 2 basic Nen-Aspects.
BOTH Nen-Efficiency and Ability-Slots (the limit on how many Abilities an Individual can craft)
make me think i would hin k thrice if i was a Conjurer
and i could become a Specialist - but if i was an Enhancer, i would obviosuly say 'No thanks'.
Dark Continent is actually the Luffy's (One Piece) World
It's closer to Toriko's Gourmet World. Although the initial idea for the New World in OP was exactly that--a world where everything is big and dangerous.
Dark continent is so much worse than the grand line or the new world, people actually live in the grandline, no one has the balls to live in the dk. Also maps of the one piece and Hxh worlds are completely different, hxh is mostly land, op is mostly water.
I feel that the note that was left behind after the massacre "We reject no one. So take nothing from us!" that sounds less like what a culprit would say and more like what a victim/Kurta clan member would say. They were outcasts and yet were kind to strangers regardless if I am getting them right. So, I feel a kid must have written that note in order to maybe sway the Spiders to not kill them, but they killed everyone and then left that note as an insult?
I'm pretty sure the Spiders left that note. They also did it somewhere else but I don't remember what chapter.

Gosh I wish HxH would come back, such a great series that needs answers for many different questions being posed.
the fact that you are still wishing must mean youre new to this arent you
@@johnxina7496 lmaoooo I’m dying💀💀, that’s exactly what u thought when I read the comment lol
Thanks for making this manga feel like it’s still alive. I’ve been a follower and fan for a very long time, and I always enjoy the theory videos you upload. A potential idea for another theory video is since we don’t have Togashi writing weekly (or quite frankly, yearly) chapters, could you make a video of what you think would happen if the manga were to continue forward? Such as, would they inevitably reach the dark continent, would another member of the phantom troope die, or even how you personally would like a sequence of events to play out or even rewrite the story to better fit your liking?
Your ability to put out HxH content during this drought is unrivaled.
just a random thought, in the 1999 version, in the inn they stayed at at the hunter exam there was a shipwreck of a Kurta Clan vessel, right? Could it be that they actually were from the dark continent, and that they were travelling or migrating away?
Should have ended this video with “Kurapika is now drowning in indescribable Emptiness” followed by a happy guitar solo 😂
Didn't the scarlet eyes make his stronger? It made me that idea in the one shot origin story... When he is able to fight the grown up guys. That would make this theory even more likely.
Im a simple man, I see hunter hunter content I click
💙
I remember seeing this same theory on reddit. Personally, I think Togashi plans things out (not everything). It's one of the reasons why the hiatuses have increased during the Succession War (and his health problems of course). There's a reason why he put The Phantom Troupe, Leorio, Kurapika, Hisoka, and Illumi and Kalluto on the black whale. I think he plans to have OP Kurtas thriving in the Dark Continent and Chrollo is going to tell Kurapika that the Kurtas demolished Meteor City and eat Chimera Ants for breakfast. This will lead to Kurapika having a major internal crisis. The OP Kurtas will mock Kurapika for making the Emperor Time condition, and tell him he could've been as OP as they are if he had simply taken the time to train.
I think lerio is shining in some weird medical shinanigans and coul try to find ways there to cure eerything, or near everything. If tagahi gets so far that is. I ean technically kurapia could survive and get back to zero by nanika too honestly and rediscover himsel on the continent .If he survives that is. Or transfer, continent hhinanigans transfer as something.
I actually just thought of a hypothetical scenario. Say the previous requests from Nanika were denied or met or whatever. What if someone made a wish to be stronger than anything on the Dark Continent? What then?
The idea that the kurta clan is potentially still alive in the dark continent would be super cool.
That would be really cool. I haven't read the manga yet but I'm like.....where was kurapika when his clan was getting bodied....it had to be at least one person to have made it out.
@@misadventuresofave6496 there’s 2 manga chapters by togashi showing you that story. It was to promote one of the movies. The chapters are called “Kurapika’s memories part 1 and 2”
@@UltimatePower01 thank you! dude I just read them and.....the troupe for sure needs to be dealt with.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention that the symbol on the kurta eye drops bottle matching the symbol on the dark continent gate
eh? EEEH?!!
It’s literally copy and paste y’all can’t tell me togashi didn’t do that on purpose. The door and bottle looks identical, I won’t be that surprised if the gatekeepers where actually kurtas
Noooooo I don't want to eat eyeballs! 😭 But I guess I'm part of the crew now. Love your whole vibe, mate! Been watching your whole HXH playlist over the last 48 hours!
I wish you had a discord group where we can specifically talk about nen and hunter x hunter
Some say the orgin of the pin button was found on the dark continent itself. Only those who wield legendary power are capable of being pinned. Are you? Am i? Who knows...
No
Nice try buddy
Another thing that could have been set up. Was when Kurapika saying he had no where to go. Maybe he might stay behind and become the new gatekeeper?
2:43 Isn't kurapika's specialist 100 percent in all categories? I remember him saying to uvogin," when I am a specialist, I wield full control over every other category of nen."
Maybe he skip that part. Fast foward guy. Lol
he meant kurapika was conjurer at first
The scarlet eyes turning him in to a specialist couldn’t have been from a subconscious restriction, because when he found out he was a conjurer, he said that he wished he was an enhancer.
His specialist ability is enhancing all aspects of nen mastery technically
I love the poetry at the start.
in the manga in chapter 0, and i think trick tower, scarlet eyes were shown just generally enhance the person's strength and speed. it would make sense this would apply to nen as well.
edit: also, the kurta clan seemed to be mostly fine in society until the elders of meteor city began spreading propaganda they were dangerous and barbaric (this makes sense since directly prior to this in the timeline, they wanted a "racial" divide) which is what caused them to go into hiding for over a hundred years prior to the massacre. it was also alluded to that this was when the trophy hunting of the scarlet eyes began to take full swing.
I hope this video includes that one filler episode in the 1999 anime.
They find sunken Kurta clan ships during the Hunter exam arc.
Maybe the kurta we know is a branch of the main family that stayed on the dark continent. That explains why some have the eyes because they are only part kurta.
Hey man just got to say as someone who only finished watching HxH 5 months ago I'm super happy you have all this content for me too watch. I'm also so happy your newest discussion is about my favorite character of all time.
Nanika's healing of Nen creates a massive spike of dark nen that ALL the Hunters can feel.
Theory: what if the people that abducted and killed sarsa in the Phantom Troupe backstory were Kurta clan outcasts and then that’s why the phantom troupe massacred the village
i just imagine killua's nail to always have been long and he just tightens his hand and bring his fingers back a bit to expose them
That's horrific. Thanks for the imagery
I'm pretty sure it's more akin to Netero stopping his leg from bleeding after Meruem ripped it off. Martial artists having unnatural levels of control over their body is a pretty common trope in anime.
I always figured that humanity being in the middle of the lake is a product of a Dark Continent being giving humanity a small safe place to live… Much like what the ant king promised he’d do for humanity before fighting Netero.
Maybe there curse was not only to have the scarlet eyes but was to be hunted down and killed for them eventually..and it will keep happening over and over again forever or until they all die..idk just a thought
I think Togashi DID have the dark continent planned from the beginning or shortly after. In the Yorknew city arc Kurapika wore clothes that had a sign similar to a mobius strip, also, you said that he added the dark continent just to explain the chimera ants but when gon met Kite he told him that the country of Kakin was paying him to do research on these life forms. I think there are more hints but does are the most important.
been a while since I watched GLR, great to see his content didn't change and still remain consistent
This arc has so much potential I really hope we get to see it in all its glory before togashi is gone.
thankfully the author is back and it will continue
thankfully the author is back and it will continue
@@weebh0e60 it’s a blessing from the heavens🙏🏽
Pretty sure in Kurapika flashback his friend mentioned that when their eyes turned red they gain increased physical stats
Y'know, for a brief, minuscule moment, I thought that maybe, this video was made in response to a new hxh chapter. That beyond all signs, despite me staying on top of almost all the hxh news for years that I had somehow missed the drop of a new chapter.
Those hopes have been destroyed.
Theres so many unmentioned Possibilites here.
Maybe the Eyes are all Post-Mortem-Nen of 1 Single User who used Enhancement Nen or something to make his own little Clan.
Maybe normal Kurtas have the Potential but most never even learn of Nen,
or maybe no one knows or maybe all of them know.
Ever thought that it may be even just Kurapika BECAUSE he’s the Last Survivor? It wouldnt take that much Effort to make a Fail-Save that ‚supports’ the ‚Last Survivor’ if the Clan is ever wiped out.
We also dont know if it’s just ‚turns into Specialist’ or ‚change random to another Category you arent’ or ‚Change randomly to one of your Adjacent Categorys on the Nen-Ring’.
I think killuas hands could just be attributed to being from a family of assassins, he was insanely strong, talented and even before discovering nen. I think it’d be more interesting to find out why, despite being considered a prodigy amongst his family, his brother, father, and grand father didn’t teach him nen at a younger age, or at all. Even hisoka kept them from entering heavens arena before they learned nen because of the backlash a body can receive by taking a nen attack without learning first.
Because they are obsessed with Killua and him discovering nen would increase the chances of him leaving and being less easy to control
Am I the only one who thinks the zoldyks are from the dark continent they have a few things from there they have numerous dark continent "family" guard dogs and they are just built differently almost like they evolved to be able to kill anything they need to and just turned that into the family business
There is some credence to this as Silva himself is unnerved by Alluka, or rather Nanika. Her magnitude of power, which cannot be explained, can perhaps be traced to the DC. It's what some of the fandom posit since some of the senior Zoldycks themselves don't consider her human.
I believe that at the beginning of HxH, Togashi didn't have a clear idea for a power system. In the beginning, it seemed to me that the story would have special techniques (Killian's nails, Hanzo's special ninja training, etc...) and bizarre animals (like the fish of the first episode) instead of a power system like in Naruto, One Piece, etc... Probably the same thing goes for Kurapika's eyes, they may have had a power that will never be shown. We probably won't ever know that :(
Hunter Hunter for me is unmatched amongst all the many Anime series that I have watched. The Hiatus is extremely unfortunate, but perhaps it will just prove to solidify it as one of the greatest anime series of all time by not giving it a chance to Fall from Grace.
It would be a pretty incredible retcon by Togashi tbf, especially for Kurapika's overall arc. Imagine after committing his entire life, down to his Nen abilities, including doing some pretty horrible things, and takes out the Troupe on the journey to the Dark Continent. Only to discover upon arrival that the Kurta clan continues on, possibly even thrives in the DC and his entire mission of revenge based on him being the last of his clan was all in vein. That would be quite a tragic twist. Completely losing himself, only to inevitably find his 'true' clan.
I swear the way you talk during the sub games helps me find the true answer for example I was going to pick fries but then u said “ if ur right I get to eat what’s in it” I immediately change my answer to eyes
These kinds of Videos are by far your best Content.
Manga Spoilers
My boy Kurapika is going to flip when he realizes that the 4th Prince collects all of those Kurta clan eyes.
He also seems to have his best friend's (from the movie) head in a jar.
He already knows it...
Didn't Mizaistom already tell him that tho lmao
He already knows thats why he's on the ship in the first place lol. But that head might be his best friend and then he'll truly flip
Y'all jogged my memory lol I was getting confused with the 4th prince and the Phantom Troupe. You all are right, my bad.
It would be interesting if Kurapika ever makes it to the dark continent and finds other people with the scarlet eyes there
How is it possible that I've guessed incorrectly for almost every video this month?!
I read a theory somewhere that the kurta clan was from the dark continent, but that the calamity received from the expedition was the clan waging war on modern humans, and that meteor city was destroyed in the process, eventually the kurta clan lost and some of its members were displaced in the human world, leading to the modern kurta clan.
As Issac Netero was sent to deal with the threat of the crimera ants, the phantom troupe was sent to destroy the Kurta Clan. From listenig to this video, at least it sounds possible. And while Netero finally found his opponent, and the phantom troupe made a lot of money, and perhaps got vengance as well.
0:55 Are we all just going to ignore the fact that those who guessed CORRECTLY, get to eat the scarlett eyes?
I find the dark continent and the class system super reminiscent of yuyu Hakusho with demon world and the class of demons. So I wouldn't be surprised if he intended to incorporate the dark continent for quite some time
To be honest I kinda like the hereditary Nen thing more because it would make kurapika's clan a traditional "we have spent centuries breeding the best possible specimen" type of clan that are often quite interesting to watch in manga.
As for how it would work I'd say it could very well be that they were a hidden clan to begin with then their ancestor discovered nen and decided to make his ability to "hav a pair of hereditary scarlet eyes with special ability" and only that, you know sacrificing his nen potential for his clan. That could also explain how only a fraction of the clan had them, as it would only manifest in those who can use aura (that would also tie in how they were specially bred cause 30% of the clan being nen users is much more than the rest of the world), also it would explain the shortened lifespan thing that seem to be tied to the eyes more so than other things.
Bonus point if he did that to give his clan a chance to fight the persecutors.
i always just figured killuas claws was a nen ability he just didnt know it was nen.
I think the human world was full of normal people until shit from the Dark Continent started leaking in.
Why do you think that Killua's claws are an inconsistency? I always thought that they were just a non nen technique you could train for like his rhythm echo.
Agreed. Similar to how Netero stopped his leg from bleeding. Think they’re just examples of certain humans have insane control over their body through training/techniques/etc.
After I finished hxh not too long ago I found ur channel and I LOVE IT
Interesting speculation! I really do wish kurapika does live long enough to learn about this if it's true.
I swear the scarlet eyes made Kurapika stronger physically too and exhausted him
I really wish they made the dark Continent Arc in animation
Togashi MIGHT have had a vague idea for the Dark Continent since before Chimera Ants. Either that, or he made the Dark Continent specifically to fit with the Devil's Sonata, because it is extremely similar to the Calamities.
Yes yes yes!!!! More hunterX Hunter content, and what do you know, I found it right there, in my CZcams feed 😁.
After reading the succession war arc, I've had immediate thought that maybe one of the people who killed Sarasa was a Kurta clan member, which would explain the brutality they were killed, and why they left a note
Plot twist, a Kurta clan member “stole” Chrollo’s mom and that’s why he marked them for death. Or, he left the note and one alive to steal the last and presumably strongest Nen ability they could muster out of desperation for revenge.
I wonder if kurapika goes to the dark continent will he find out why he has red eyes or something idfk
I thought the dark continent was planned all along and nen was never intended. it makes more sense with how early hunter hunter is about random magic and magical creatures sort of like stuff from the dark continent and nen is just kinda a random thing he did to make humans more interesting.
I lost the guessing game, but I'm already subscribed. What do I do now, oh noes 😰
Theres so many unmentioned Possibilites here.
Maybe the Eyes are all Post-Mortem-Nen of 1 Single User who used Enhancement Nen or something to make his own little Clan.
Maybe normal Kurtas have the Potential but most never even learn of Nen,
or maybe no one knows or maybe all of them know.
Ever thought that it may be even just Kurapika BECAUSE he’s the Last Survivor? It wouldnt take that much Effort to make a Fail-Save that ‚supports’ the ‚Last Survivor’ if the Clan is ever wiped out.
We also dont know if it’s just ‚turns into Specialist’ or ‚change random to another Category you arent’ or ‚Change randomly to one of your Adjacent Categorys on the Nen-Ring’.
Keep up the good work. Love your vids
I'm fairly certain that the Kurta eyes inflict some sort of hatred towards the clan in the people who see them. That's why they're a cirse
i’m so mad rn i got the question wrong in the beginning and swung my head into my bed frame
Can you make a video about the "Chrollo cheated during the fight against Hisoka theory"? I´d love to know your opinion about it.
how
@@cofeusr8335 ?
@@markusmuller7485 whats the theory lol
They agreed on a 1 vs 1 fight and the theory basically claim Chrollo was helped by other members of the troupe.
Chrollo definitely cheated smh
