What Happened During Kurapika Vs Uvogin?
Uvogin eventually locates Kurapika, and the two travel to a deserted wasteland, where tensions rise. After removing the leeches from his body, Uvogin inquires about his opponent, sensing that he isn’t a typical Nen user. Before responding, Kurapika inquires if Uvogin and the Phantom Troupe remember the people they’ve killed.
He responds that he can only recall particular people who left an impression on him and that Kurapika now seeks vengeance. Uvogin can’t recall anything about the Kurta Clan, which the troupe murdered five years ago, and their Scarlet eyes, but admits that he was a member of the Troupe five years ago. He hints that killing people makes him feel nothing, prompting Kurapika to label him slime and declare that Uvogin will atone through his death. Uvogin charges up and responds that it is because of individuals like him that he never gets tired of killing.
Kurapika then challenges Uvogin to unleash all of his might. Uvogin responds by punching the ground, creating a smokescreen. He sneaks up on Kurapika and delivers a full-force Big Bang Impact, breaking his left arm totally. After Kurapika compliments him on his In, he uses his own In to capture Uvogin with his chains and recounts how he came to be captured. Kurapika pierces Uvogin’s steel body with a punch. When he’s wrapped in his Chain Jail, he believes he can beat any Troupe member.

Uvogin refuses to answer his questions concerning the Troupe’s location and skills, so he asks Kurapika to kill him instead. Kurapika continues to pummel Uvogin till his senses are thrown into confusion and he wonders why Uvogin is unaffected when killing the innocent. Kurapika snaps as Uvogin repeats the same response.
He employs his Judgment Chain to encircle Uvogin’s heart. The Judgment Chain is explained by Kurapika: if Uvogin defies the laws he sets, the knife will activate and puncture Uvogin’s heart. The law of Kurapika is that Uvogin must answer all of his questions. Kurapika then asks him where the Troupe is hiding again. Uvogin smiles and urges Kurapika to die instead of responding. Uvogin’s heart is crushed by the Judgment Chain. Kurapika calls Melody after the fight and buries Uvogin’s body in the earth.
Where To Watch Hunter x Hunter?
There were 62 episodes in the original 1999 anime. However, the production company did not want to employ filler while waiting for the manga to catch up, so it ended there. Fans were upset, therefore three OVAs were produced, each addressing the succeeding arcs that the original series left off.
The original 1999 anime series is currently unavailable to legally view on any website. The OVAs are also not available to stream. Crunchyroll, Hulu, Netflix, Vudu, Pluto TV, Tubi, and HBO Max all have 148 episodes of the 2011 anime.
