Hunter x Hunter's Kurapika is More Like the Phantom Troupe Than He Admits
Warning! Contains spoilers for Chapter 397 of Hunter x Hunter!
While Hunter x Hunter's Kurapika may hate the Phantom Troupe for killing his clan, he's actually more like them than he'd care to admit. In the most recent chapters of Hunter x Hunter, series creator Yoshihiro Togashi has delved into the backstory and motivation of the Troupe, giving fans information that they have wanted for years. This information has also revealed truths that Kurapika wouldn't be happy to learn.
The Phantom Troupe is a group of extremely powerful thieves who were introduced in the Yorknew City arc. Before the series started, the Troupe murdered the entirety of Kurapika's clan for their valuable scarlet eyes. This serves as Kurapika's central motivation to become a hunter, as he wants to acquire the skills he'll need to get revenge on his clan's killers. He was finally able to put his skills into action in Yorknew City.
