Perigord’s Ability

Something really cool and unique about Nen is that characters choose their own abilities. There are some restrictions, of course, but for the most part, characters have a great deal of freedom and customization. It’s interesting to ask not just what a character’s ability is, but why they chose it.

Someone who illustrated this really well recently, in my opinion, is Perigord (one of Morena’s followers). I believe his choice of ability reveals a lot about his character.

As of Chapter 397 of Hunter x Hunter, I’m no longer certain the Phantom Troupe is responsible for the Kurta massacre. In this post, I’ll explain why I hold this belief, who I think might be responsible, and why Kurapika’s quest for revenge may be even more misguided than we thought.
