To Uvogin) "Some place remote where we won't cause a nuisance. I get the feeling your final moments will be raucous." [56]

A side-effect of Stealth Dolphin is that when it is used on a non-user it will allow them to see aura [98] and, after the loaned ability is activated, semi-force all of their Aura Nodes open, essentially making them Nen users, although training is still necessary to control one's own aura flow and prevent its leakage. [111]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] Master Weapon Specialist: With the full extent of his abilities in the field being unclear, Kurapika used a pair of bokken swords linked by a thread before learning Nen, and could wield them also as a nunchaku. In the 1999 anime, it was revealed the bokken swords were actually two sheathed blades. He displayed the ability to use them skillfully against Hisoka. When he worked as Neon's bodyguard, he carried a knife with him, although he used it solely for intimidation. However, the weapon Kurapika specializes in currently are his chains, which he learned to use in battle with great skill in a rather short amount of time. He can move them with such mastery that they act as natural extensions of his limbs, being even able to entangle targets at a distance of almost 30 meters in less than a second. [58] The chains are suited for both offensive and defensive purposes (usually the Dowsing Chain), [45] as well as immobilizing the opponent ( Chain Jail). [53] 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.

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]both have an androgynous appearance that has led readers to wonder if they were in fact girls. In one chapter, Kurapika is mistaken as being a girl by his archenemy, while on the last episode of YuYu Hakusho, Kurama is mistaken for Kuwabara's girlfriend;

Kurapika was still protective of his friends, however, going as far as to beat a man for his derogatory comments against one.

Kurapika is similar to Saint Seiya character Shun in his androgynous appearance and the usage of chains as weapons. The next day, September 4 th, Kurapika meets up with Gon, Killua, [70] and Leorio again. He tells them about the secrets of his Nen abilities and his connection with Hisoka, knowing that they are true friends. Now that Gon and Killua have learned of his abilities, they realize the threat Pakunoda poses. [71] He then receives a message from Hisoka saying that the bodies are fakes. [72] Kurapika decides to keep chasing after the Phantom Troupe alone, but Leorio, Killua, and Gon want to help him. [73] 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] 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]

In Volume 7, where the results of the first poll were published, it was revealed that voters were impressed with his resolve, and some questioned his gender. In the Japanese manga, Kurapika uses the pronoun "watashi," which is a formal, gender-neutral pronoun most often used by women. As a child, Kurapika used the pronoun "ore," which is an informal pronoun used by men. A child that uses "ore" is trying to give an older impression and appear tough.
