My hand holding yours.
"ohayou" tte itte
Tell me "good morning."
mata yume wo misete
Once more show me the dream.
shizen na sono ikikata de iikarasa
Keep on living just the way you are.
I want more strength...
Enough strength to capture the demons that bring suffering to this world,
and lock their souls in hell.
Chains?
I don't really care about your lack of experience.
Some of my clients don't mind hiring beginners.
But you're not even a beginner yet.
I can tell just by looking at you.
What do you mean?!
What do you see right beside me?
Can't see it, can you?
Come back when you can. That's our minimum requirement.
Back then, I was like a traveler who had just received his passport,
but didn't know how to buy a ticket.
I hadn't yet discovered the unseen secret of this world...
I hadn't yet discovered Nen.
Looks like you're a Conjurer.
Conjurers have the ability to materialize an object out of their aura.
A Conjurer?
What's wrong?
You seem disappointed.
I was hoping that I was an Enhancer.
Unfortunately, it's something you're born with.
You can't choose what you want to be.
You have to embrace your true nature and develop it through more training.
All right! Spend the next month working on your Hatsu.
Very good.
I'm impressed by what you've been able to accomplish in only one month.
With your talent, it's only a matter of time
before you'll be able to reach your highest level as a Conjurer.
I don't think there's anything more that I can teach you.
Kurapika, you've passed the secret Hunter Exam.
The secret Hunter Exam?
Yes.
To be a true Hunter, you have to master a Nen ability.
You've already graduated.
Now you can go anywhere...
No, not yet. Having the strength of a Hunter isn't what I want.
What I want is the strength to fight on my own!
Strength?
I want to become stronger!
And I need to master Enhancer abilities to reach that goal!
Impossible. You can't master Enhancer abilities.
The maximum level of mastery you could hope for in other abilities looks like this.
You can't completely master other abilities,
no matter how much you try.
The further it is from your own type, the less you acquire.
Why is Specialist at zero percent?
Specialists are different from the others.
It isn't something you can learn, even if you try your hardest.
The trait is usually inherited.
Growing up under special circumstances can have an effect on it as well.
It's placed here because it's more likely for Conjurers and Manipulators
to turn into Specialists later in life.
So you still have a chance, in a way.
You said earlier that you wanted the strength to fight all by yourself.
You're correct in thinking that mastering Enhancer abilities
should be your highest priority.
They are the most efficient at reinforcing offense, defense, and healing.
But as a Conjurer, you'll only be able to master
half the enhancement abilities at half their potency.
That's just how it is.
There are no exceptions.
The world of Enhancers uses the method of addition and subtraction.
For example, say you were in a battle with an Enhancer with 100 percent mastery.
If he were to punch you with 100 percent of his Nen...
...this is what'll happen.
There.
Now, with your Nen abilities, you can only reinforce the body with 60 percent efficiency.
As a result...
You'd get damage worth 40 percent even if you block the attack.
You won't have much of a chance.
Of course, this is overly simplified.
Nobody's exactly equal in strength.
How you feel that day will affect you,
as well as where you're fighting and the circumstances.
Nen is even more complex.
Joy, rage, sadness, fear, hatred, pleasure, shame, determination...
All the emotions you have factor into Nen.
It might enable something beyond 100 percent.
But that's not always a good thing, especially during a battle.
Using powers beyond your normal capacity will cause imbalance.
It may lead to a defect, a fatal one even.
You need consistent power.
That's how you will come out on top.
Can a Conjurer's consistent power defeat an Enhancer
who has mastered the Enhancing ability to its maximum level?
Question: Is it possible to conjure a sword that can cut through anything?
No, it's not.
Why not?
Because it's beyond human capacity to do so.
Even if you mastered your Conjuring ability,
there are still things you cannot create.
You can easily conjure a sword with a durable, sharp blade.
But you might as well buy yourself one, and not waste your energy.
It's not practical to conjure an object that already exists.
But you can't conjure something overly supernatural either.
Trying to strike the right balance is what makes combat so difficult for Conjurers.
But on the other hand,
it can produce an incredible amount of power if you know how.
So the correct answer is both yes, as well as no.
I suggest you give it some careful consideration,
and decide what's best for you.
Kurapika... What object are you going to conjure?
Excuse me.
Sorry to disturb you.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
Where are you headed tonight?
Do you mind if I don't answer that?
Not at all.
But they say no journey is too far when you share it with a companion.
And here we are, sharing the same compartment.
Do you think it's fate that our paths have crossed?
No.
I don't need companions right now.
What I need is a strong will and power to reach my goal.
Nothing else.
Chains?
Yes...
Chains.
It was the first thing that came to mind after I found out I was a Conjurer.
Chains, huh? I wonder why.
Maybe because there are many of them roaming free in this world
that should be chained up in the depths of hell.
Really? It seems to me the one who's bound up in chains is you.
You don't know anything!
Hey! Wait a minute!
I'm the master here!
Show a little respect! I'm still talking to you!
Get back here, Kurapika!
No one understands.
Not even a little. That's why I have to...
May I see your tickets, please?
Of course, come in.
Thank you.
I thought I needed to present my License card as a form of identification.
Aren't you going to check?
Uh, yes... May I?
It's authentic. Thank you very much.
Sorry to have bothered you. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
You're seeking revenge, aren't you?
You're thinking, how'd he know that.
I can tell. I'm not your master for nothing, you know?
It's not worth it.
Revenge won't get you anywhere.
You're like a butterfly that's only getting tangled up even more
by struggling in the spider web of vengeance.
What a cold and sad tune.
It's the tune that your chains make, it conceals strong feelings...
I apologize. I hear things because it's part of my profession.
It's like fortune telling. Please don't mind me.
The Conjuring ability is not like learning a magic trick.
It's about balancing and maintaining your aura in a single space through your thoughts.
It's a physical process.
You have to remember that all physical objects are comprised of energy on a subatomic level.
When a near infinite amount of it forms together,
it stabilizes and becomes an object.
In order to make that happen with the power of your thoughts,
you will have to possess incredible concentration and imagination.
Also, it is extremely difficult to conjure anything
that is a type of complex material, such as steel.
But, I guess I don't have to tell you that.
Well, keep working at it.
I'll be around as long as it takes you.
As your master, it is my duty.
It's starting to rain.
Rainfall at night has a melancholy feeling.
I'm glad to see that you're back up on your feet.
You should work hard, but you should know your limitations too.
You can't get revenge if you're dead.
You wouldn't understand.
You want to become a Blacklist Hunter in order to avenge your people.
I got that info from the Hunter Association.
So, I suppose it's the mission of the sole survivor, huh?
Well, even I know there are some things that can't be explained by rational thinking.
Nobody can create an unbreakable chain.
But there is a way that you can create one that's close to it as possible.
Really? What do I have to do?! Tell me, Master!
He only calls me "master" when he needs my help.
Master!
Yeah, all right.
Two limitations.
Make a contract with self imposed limitations and swear to abide the conditions.
The stricter the limitation, the more power your ability will gain from it.
This is one of the basic principles of Nen...
The strength of your resolve will be increased
by how difficult the limitations set against you are.
You understand what I mean by that, right?
It's like getting a boost of adrenaline when you're trying to escape a fire,
or when a mouse suddenly attacks after it's been cornered by a cat.
Make a condition for your chain.
Something that you can keep.
But I'm warning you. This is the opposite of seeking balance.
It's like a double edged sword.
If you break your contract,
you risk obliterating your Nen abilities entirely.
Some men have come looking for you.
They've probably been hired to steal your Hunter License card.
There are six of them.
Their heartbeats are calm and steady,
which would mean that they're experienced at this.
So there are six of them...
Thanks, I appreciate your help... I couldn't tell the exact number.
Don't worry, you'll be all right.
My goal is to capture the Spiders and reclaim the eyes of my people.
I want chains that will hold a Spider and never allow it to escape.
I only need to use it on the Spiders.
So, you won't use it on anyone but your target?
That's a bit weak.
Don't get ahead of me. That's only the beginning.
Then what else have you got?
Only my own...
...life!
You were right.
They analyzed the situation quickly and moved methodically.
They were professionals.
Thanks to you, I was able to scare them off with minimal threat.
Thank you.
You're very welcome.
You passed, huh?
That's really good.
To be able to master Nen in only half a year is no small feat.
You remember me?
Of course I do. I don't get many visitors.
I've only had one other person come by since you were here last.
Locating this agency is harder than you think.
So, what kind of employer are you looking for?
I'd like to work for someone who's directly involved with the auction
that will be taking place in Yorknew City.
It doesn't matter what the job entails.
A high profile client usually has extremely high standards.
I can't imagine they'd be looking for someone who has no experience.
There are three people...
...who match your criteria and are willing to interview anyone without experience.
All three of them are looking to hire bodyguards.
So, who will it be?
Here you are.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks to you,
the trip turned out to be more eventful and fun than I expected.
I guess it's true: a journey is better when shared with others.
A journey shared with others.
Well, I should be going.
I have a feeling we'll meet again some day.
The song of the wind tells me so.
I have to keep on fighting. I won't rely on anyone else to help me.
I can only rely on my strength. So...
Aunt Mito, I have so much to tell you!
Oh, by the way, this is Killua!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
I'm Home x Welcome Back x I'm Killua!
This is the best way to relax!
