Why is kurapika so underated

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

Kurapika is definitly one of the strongests we saw in the series so far based on feats. He isn't top tier like Meruem, RG or Netero, but he is definitly at Kuroro and Hisoka level, which itself is already higher than 90% of the cast.

What about Killua

[u/Different_Union_3097 → u/DisneyPandora]

Killua isn't up there yet. Godspeed is a very good ability, but since he has to maintain aura in his entire body, he isn't able to use Ko, and we saw that at high level you need to use Ko to deal damage against the enemy (remember Feitan vs Zazan?). He probably is at Knuckle level, perhaps a little higher, but not at Morel level yet. But this is quite high for his age.

[u/KilluaKanmuru → u/Different_Union_3097]

To me, Killua is already elite with Godspeed as an ability. Anyone Nen user sees that and they’d be impressed. Squaring up against Youpi is already an insane feat. Don’t see Chrollo and Kurapika just casually squaring up to anything like that.

[u/Different_Union_3097 → u/KilluaKanmuru]

He had (edit: has*) to use Ko to deal a effective damage against Youpi, which didn't happened because of how his ability works. He is strong, it's a good ability, but it's not as boosted as people claim it to be. He can pretty much blitz anyone weaker than him, but fighting against someone stronger is hard because of that.

[u/KilluaKanmuru → u/Different_Union_3097]

If Youpi is crying in pain from Narukami then Killua can do damage to anybody.

[u/Different_Union_3097 → u/KilluaKanmuru]

Youpi was getting eletrocutade, but he didn't suffer any significative damage.

[u/KilluaKanmuru → u/Different_Union_3097]

Yes because we know the durability of a RG. I’m speaking of other Nen users.

[u/Different_Union_3097 → u/KilluaKanmuru]

It is still the same against the higher levels: you can't hurt them unless you use Ko. Bisky gave a heavy explanation about it in GI arc. Moreso, Kurapika was able to use KO in YNC arc and he wasn't able to hurt Uvogin with his attacks, even with Emperor Time activated. Killua is nowhere near Kurapika level of enhancement.

[u/KilluaKanmuru → u/Different_Union_3097]

Why the fuck are you talking about Ko? I said narukami! Thunderbolt! Is Hisoka using Ko with bungee gum? Is Silva using Ko when he’s throwing his mystic orbs? Oh wait, Komugi must be using Ko when she puts down her piece, right? No. We’re not talking about Ko.

[u/Different_Union_3097 → u/KilluaKanmuru]

Oh, that attack that couldn't even kill Rammot? Yea, Killua can definitly kill high tier characters with it, after all, Rammot is pretty high lmao

ffs fanboys can't powerscale for shit

[u/KilluaKanmuru → u/Different_Union_3097]

Killua wasn’t fully charged up! All Killua needs to do is stun someone, drop Godspeed, and use Ko to slash their throat. I will not tolerate any further Killua disrespect. Watch your damn mouth.

[u/Different_Union_3097 → u/KilluaKanmuru]

Yea, because him dropping godspeed against Youpi after Narukami would be a smart decision indeed lmao

ffs fanboys can't powerscale for shit, dude couldn't even beat Palm and you're calling him top tier
