Thanks for your translation leokiko .

And I agree with Anh_Minh, he doesn't care much about the story at this point. He just makes shit up whenever he wants because he can. I doubt he will finish the story. One other thing, I don't like that the manga will be so close to anime movie time-wise. I'll be completely spoiled while watching it and compare it to an original. If he hasn't released it in 10 years than he could have waited a one or two more and release it after the movie had been released. |

Well, the raw for the first part of that Kurapica story is out now for those who care. And thankfully, it's NOT a whole mess of scribbles:
Spoiler:
I won't lie.... younger Kurapica is actually pretty adorable. Interestingly, he inherited his mother's looks, as well. |

I haven't seen the movie trailers, but I am glad they are showing that kid from Kurapica's flashback during the Spider Arc. Yeah, Kurapica's parents are there too. |

Special 2 is out. Is this it? Or are we going to get more chapters telling of the time between the massacre and the beginning of HxH?
I kind of want to see Kurapica finish his revenge though, because even as cool as the Spiders are, VENGEANCE needs to be delivered! |

What we got so far, before the break at the beginning of this year, was Kura in a black suit, he has forfeit his Kura clan clothing. I assume he has become darker and tainted by the work he does for a living. I am stuck! If I was in Kura shoes, I want revenge, but the Spiders are too cool! If Kura over about killing and more about stopping them from continuing to commit crime/murder, than I'm justify with that.
Spiders are cool, but the cool members are dead though >_> Only one I really like in the current group has to be Machi. She Hisoka love toy, Gon a close second. LOL

I found the last line in the Special to be quite interesting...
It implies that Chrollo and the Spiders didn't just go and rob the Kuruta clan just for the heck of stealing the precious eyes, there was some retribution involved from their point of view, which had been inflicted towards one of their own ( Meteor City dwellers ) from the Kuruta.

I recall Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho was a one-shot villain, but he was so popular, that the author kept him and rewrote his back story. I mean he could just rule the human world and turn people to his demon slaves and find his sister at the same time, you know?

Yeah, I found that interesting, too. Wonder if this means Kurapica isn't actually the last survivor of his clan, after all.....? |

Though Pairo's existence at least is indeed confirmed in the main series what with his image in Kurapika's mind when he was making the deal with Pakunoda. |

Still, I'm led to believe the author is changing the back-story slightly, which I don't mind. Cuz its possible to do it.

Well, regardless of why Uvo thought they were doing it, you'd think it'd be somewhat more memorable if they have to go through all the trouble of carefully torturing them in the right order. Maybe a bit... tedious even? Whereas Uvo didn't remember it all until Kurapica reminded him how strong they were.
On the hand I guess he could have just left to go drink beer after the fighting ended while Feitan handled all the torture. |

But then again, the info we know about the attack is only seen through Kurapika's perspective (who isn't even there, if we go by this special chapters). What could a secluded clan have done to get this kind of (hinted) retribution from the Spider's? And this is the part that does not make sense for me and needed explanation. ( I just have a gut feeling it'll not be explained in the movie...) |

Well, almost all the spiders are sociopaths. The flashback explained that they did what they did to enrage the pure blooded clansmen so their eyes would glow more brilliantly when they died. Looking at Kuroro's behavior in the Spiders Arc, he'd see it to be no different than activating special conditions in a game to get a better item.
The other members are loyal to him and also some of them like Uvo wanted to fight strong opponents. Not to mention the people of the falling stars seem to not care for anyone who's not from their land, so it'd be no different than how conquerors destroyed natives in the past. |
