Kurapika loses an hour of life for every second or 10 seconds he uses emperor time whichever it is I can’t remember, do you all think this will end up in his death on the black whale, or sometime soon? He has already lost multiple years of his life using it, considering he used it for 3 hours straight, along with all the other times he has used it during the manga.
There is IMO a possibility that he reaches the dark continent after completing his goal of getting the eyes from the 4th Prince. IF (a big if) he gets to the dark continent, depending where the black whale ends up and the time spent in the continent, there could be a chance he could find nitro rice, thus extending his life. Maybe with the help of Ging. I and others have a feeling that this arc is Kurapikas “going away” arc, where he gets the shine, gets the eyes, completes his mission, and inevitably dies. While this could happen, the way Togashi didn’t end up killing off Gon, and also leaving it open ambiguously for Gon to be able to regain his nen abilities just “starting from scratch” it leaves hope for me that maybe Kurapika will get close to running out of time and then find nitro rice with the help of other hunters. There is still a chance he could have set some condition to alert him when he his reaching the end of the time he has with the ability, the same way he had a system to be alerted if his nen was ever exercised from Chrollo.
What do you guys think? Any chance Kurapika gets his lifespan back? Or do you think he will waste it all in his pursuit? Do you think he gets all the eys and dies? Does without reaching his goal? Lives but has an extremely shortened life span? Or finds the nitro rice?
