Kurapika's chain jail ability is being stolen by Kuroro, but then Kuroro uses this ability on Kurapika and dies because of the restriction and vows. Kurapika can then dance under the light of a 1000 scarlet eyes with Gon and Friends.


Placing his hand on the book's palmprint, Kurapika consented to share with the bandit all his secrets. Cold chains formed made from his life force, his mind, and his rage formed on his worst enemy's hand. Chrollo clenched and unclenched simply observing the way the links ran along his skin.

For something made to bind monsters to hell and drag their user towards his self-inflicted damnation, they held a strange beauty. Thin and delicate, but strong and deadly much like their user. But like all his treasures he'd have to let this one go once he'd had his fill enjoying its presence. Albeit for a much different reason than usual.

He would never be bored with death beside him at all times, but he would not risk the remaining Phantom Troupe members. However, he couldn't simply let the one treasure he could never have kept go. No, this needed special treatment. This wasn't an end to a heist, this was much more. It was the end of an equal who'd bested him once.

Kurapika imprisoned his Nen. He found a way to break out of the chain jail. Now that he'd stolen Kurapika's Nen it was inevitable the next step in the game would be for Kurapika to find a way to steal it back.

The game would have it end here.

Two kings together, it was time to call checkmate.

A smile on his face and a flip of a page, Chrollo ended the game.

The chain jail flew and one man fell.

He'd forgotten an important rule, in chess two kings can never touch.
