HUNTER X HUNTER (1999) created by yoshihiro togashi
Cuddling with Kurapika is always difficult because once he’s in bed with you, he’s not letting go any time soon.
It starts out with him lounging in bed, reading a book he’s been putting off for a while now. Soon, you’ve snuck your way into his arms, and he’s content while continuing to read.
But when you’re ready to get up and go about your day, Kurapika keeps close to his chest, resting his chin on the top of your head.
“Not now, I just got comfortable,” he murmurs, flipping a page before moving one of his hands down your back. He keeps you flush against him, softly nuzzling your head.
It’s like that for hours, and even after he finishes his book, he denies your request to get up and stretch.
Kurapika is usually a busy man and doesn’t have the time for relaxation, so when he does finally have a moment to spare, all he wants is to be cuddled up with you.
I hope you didn’t have any plans for the day, because Kurapika won’t let you get out of bed unless he comes with you~
Had to do this trend with him 🌂🙏
Dakimakura with Kurapika
I like this art, but I think I can do better. Today I’ll try to draw Genya and Gyomei from Kimetsu no Yaiba in a genderbend
If you were to ask me, the biggest and kind of final nail in the coffin of the "The Phantom Troupe didn't commit the Kurta massacre" assertion is not what's said during the Uvogin vs Kurapika fight, nor the PT members acknowledging the massacre and saying one of the Kurtas survived, nor even the fact that they've more than showed themselves capable of torturing and murdering innocents (children very much included).
Some have bent over backwards to try to explain away the above
"Uvogin was just playing the role of villain to the end! He's only saying those things about the Kurtas to rile up Kurapika!"
"Well, the Phantom Troupe are naturally aware of the massacre. It was all over the news. Doesn't mean they were guilty. But they've accepted blame to increase their infamy, so they'll play along with the narrative"
"Maybe they'd slaughter adults, but never kids. They couldn't, not after what happened to Sarasa" etc.
None of these arguments hold up to scrutiny in my opinion (I myself made a detailed argument against the last point, where I essentially say that to the PT there's a world's difference between a MC child like Sarasa, and non-MC ones like the Kurtas for instance. The latter they'd have 0 issues killing or even torturing if need arose)
But to get back to our abovementioned nail in the coffin, this is what I'm referring to
Or rather, how this scene plays out (or doesn't play out)
Do you see what I'm getting at?
Let's look at this from Pakunoda's perspective.
Her boss, her childhood friend (and, as per the vol 38 special page, her most cherished one) has been taken hostage by an individual with a vendetta. This individual — who Pakunoda now knows to be Kurapika, "the chain bastard" – has already killed Uvogin, the most physically powerful of the Troupe. He's incredibly dangerous, and he means business – touching his ransom note has further confirmed his intellectual prowess, meticulousness and ruthlessness
This is not someone you want hunting you down.
Pakunoda is well aware of the source of Kurapika's burning hatred, namely the Kurta massacre. Not only did the Troupe piece as much together, but his scarlet eyes confirm it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Pakunoda also knows – like Chrollo does – about Melody's ability to hear heartbeats. She's a living lie detector, only more effective. But perhaps even more important for the point I am making she's also a truth detector.
This is what Pakunoda – a woman desperate above all else to save her friend – knows.
So, with this established, if the Troupe were innocent of the Massacre... why would Pakunoda not just tell Kurapika as much? Why not clear up this misunderstanding? Melody would be able to confirm that Pakunoda's telling the truth, leaving no room for doubt.
Chrollo would be released. Kurapika would have to direct his revenge quest elsewhere. The Troupe is saved and they can all go their separate ways. The end. It's been awkward, but crisis averted. Let's never talk of this again.
"But Pakunoda wouldn't betray the spider's image like that"
No? Not even to save her dearest friend?
Reminder that Pakunoda says this only pages prior
Pakunoda coming to the hostage exchange by herself is already a betrayal of the Spider. She is willing to sacrifice not only her spider ideology, but her very life to save Chrollo. Neither of which would have been necessary if she'd just cleared things up with Kurapika first thing (in a scenario where there was something to clear up)
Chrollo, crucially, neglects to do that too during the car ride with Kurapika. "He's sticking to his rol–" no. He wouldn't do that when the lives of his loved ones are in very real danger from Kurapika. If there was a way to easily save his troupe and get Kurapika off their asses, he would've taken it, rather than anger the Kurta further by being a huge dick.
Chrollo isn't Hisoka, he's not looking to get off to a death match against a strong opponent. Why antagonize Kurapika needlessly when (in this hypothetical scenario) an easy solution is literally right there?
Pretty spectacularly moronic (not to mention careless) of Paku and Chrollo, if you ask me.
Or well, it would be, if there had been something to clear up with Kurapika. But precisely because of how idiotic it would make Chrollo and Paku, I really don't think there was. I doubt Togashi would do either character dirty like that. He's too good a writer.
The only logical takeaway – The Phantom Troupe are guilty as sin.
That being said, this does not mean that there aren't motivations and context behind the Massacre that we don't know about yet, possibly even additional parties. Togashi has been on record saying that there is a B side. But I don't think said B side will turn out to be "Sike! The PT were innocent all along!! Guess Kurapika and the PT were just a bunch of knuckleheads, huh? :)"
I just can't for the life of me understand what on earth the story would gain by making the PT innocent and Kurapika's quest completely pointless. In my mind, all this would do is take away from the characters and from the masterpiece that is the Yorknew arc.
