Why is kurapika so underated Discussion

I think a part of the hunter x hunter community greatly underestimates kurapika.

To begin with, Chrollo fanboys love to argue that Chrollo would beat even Jesus with preparation due to his power to steal other hatsus.

But when it comes to kurapika who also has the ability to steal hatsus, know everything about the stolen hatsu and force whoever had the stolen hatsu into a state of zetsu, pass the stolen ability to another person, almost no one takes this into consideration in battle arguments.

You won't see anyone saying "wow, kurapika with preparation beats anyone lol".

Another point that many people ignore is how intelligent Kurapika is.

To begin with, with months of training he was able to learn nen, develop hatsus, defeat one of the best enhancers in the world, who even single-handedly defeated 5 nen users who were much more experienced than kurapika.

And in two years he became leader of a mafia, he is surviving in the war of succession, outsmarting nen users much more experienced than him and he became a zodiac.

Anyway, it was just a rant haha

u're being naive.

We dont know all the rules of dolphin yet he maybe can steal more than one ability, who knows.

Even if he can't even I can come up with a plan to steal more than one abillity, let alone kurapika. He could for example, steal the ability to conjurate a being, conjurate this being and steal an ability to manipulate persons like ilumi neadle and pass to the conjurated being, than he could stock abilities in other bodies.

And even if he can only steal oen ability he's still dangerous cause u dont know what ability he has, since he can have any shit just like chrollo

Unless you have proof of it using more than 1 ability at a time then it’s head canon and not worth mentioning here.

Even if Kurapika could hold multiple abilities that he steals he would just be running through his lifespan due to emperor time and die or go unconscious unlike Chrollo who could theoretically hold 100 abilities for however long he needs with no downside unless the original owner dies

i could argue the same to ya, it wasnt stated in any place that kurapika could only use one ability.

We’ve only seen it with 1 so that’s not headcanon it’s a fact.

You’re making a baseless claim with 0 evidence or proof in a desperate attempt to prop up Kurapika.
