One of my many many theories is more of a headcanon that I'm sure will never be proven in canon but I like to think of it that way. I think what happened to kurapika and leorio was far more than what we saw in canon, same goes for killua and gon. For example kurapika once said "Leorio told me about you guys wanting to get game." Obviously there are a lot of scenes that we hadn't seen yet and there are times that I think somethings are missing. I'll start with leopika and get to killugon. 1/7

For example in the very start the one kurapika was REALLY interested in was Gon, he followed HIM around here and there but slowly he warmed up to leorio after realizing how similar they actually were and how leorio actually had a better intention than him, it even got to a point that he chose him to team up with him in the hxh exams and helped him getting his plate (while he already got his from tonpa) so until this part all the development was going + but nothing HUGE.

Then right after that they tried to defend killua and went to save him with gon and there comes an important timeline that we missed. They stayed with killua's guard for 3 weeks to train, a perfect and long time that could mean a lot could have been happening between them! until now kurapika was friendly, relayed on friends and wasn't distant but right after that when they got killua back he cut all his ties with everyone and got very very distant out of no where!

Then the next time he talked to leorio was when he was comletely broken and goal less, knowing he had no where to go after finishing his revenge and trying to relay on his friends again, he even used their help getting the troup and ended up chosing them over revenge. Then when it was over he got sick and the ones that took care of him were melody and leorio for days, another timeline that could mean so much happened between them and the tricky part is that right after that kurapika left and cut his ties again with everyone even more than before.

See the pattern? Every time we miss a part of the story line pika changes afterwards from trusting and close to distant. Because right after he leaves he cuts all his ties again even harder and we never got any explainations over WHY he kept changing on those times, something MUST have happened between them in those two timelines, specially he second one. Samegoes for Killua and gon, we couldn’t see all that happened between them while they were together.BUT we saw some pictures of them with different clothings etc hanging out with each other. ALSO we know killua suddenly got interested in gon’s pervious love lives, got jealous over gon and palm going on a date (probably) and latter on called himself and gon lovers by saying “a lover’s suicide will happen” refering to himself and gon.

SO the question is, did really something happen in those timelines that leaded things together?By calling refering themselves as lovers, was killua just talking about how he was feeling or did he and gon already sorted things out together? I think a lot happened between leopika and killugon that we never saw on screen but that is simply just another long headcanon. 7/7

huuuh I can see what you mean there and I think it’s possible stuff happened. There is definitly parts we’re missing - how Kurapika warmed up to Leorio, or some conversations they probably had.

Now, I have myself more very specific reasons to think Kurapika isolated himself because he was getting too close. I talked about it more in details there, but to me it’s most likely Kurapika’s personality and the results of endangering people.

After the Zoldyck Arc we know Kurapika tried to join the Mafia right away, was told he wasn’t good enough, had to train, and also had his master teach him how to use his Nen as a specialist, so with his red eyes, so with anger. So it’s not exactly the funniest time for Kurapika either. Although we know that I think it’s Killua? who had shared some phonecall with him. So Kurapika didn’t cut himself completely before joining the Mafia. He was focused on his goal, and again, he wasn’t using exactly the most healthy stuff.

When he was working with the Mafia he was mostly blinded by the Troupe, aside from when he got panicked when Killua and Gon got in danger. But there, he also kept his distance with them and told them to keep their distances until the Troupe’s fake death, in which he lowered his guard.

As I was saying in my previous post, the Mafia is kind of a merciless environment, Kurapika doesn’t appreciate it, and considering the events that lead to it, it’s no real wonder Kurapika would rather keep them all away from it.

So I don’t particularly think It’s an unseen conversation that made it worse. I came more into details in the previous ask of what I think was mostly the reasoning of Kurapika isolating himself after the York New Arc (in short, The Mafia, the fact he screwed his plan over by being reckless and endangered everyone after he gave in to get their help while he didn’t want to at first, that he even had to share his problems only because he left his guard down, the Troupe knowing about them all, and Chrollo getting his Nen back) and he has good reasons to then isolate himself. So again, I don’t think there are secret scenes we are missing to understand his reasoning.

However, I do agree that there are scenes that must have happened. While I can see from the scenes that were in the manga what brought Kurapika to believe Leorio wasn’t a vain money person, there’s probably more we hadn’t seen, of Kurapika getting his attention focused on Leorio eventually.

Of course the Zoldyck arc probably had more moments together (I still smile at the manga when Leorio opens the second door and he comes show his muscular arm to Kurapika, we don’t see what they’re saying since the guard is commenting on it, but I wouldn’t be surprised there’s some teasing in the air.)

Also Leorio and Kurapika’s separation in the Zoldyck Arc is a lot about unsaid. How Leorio picks up something is wrong with Kurapika and Kurapika who smiles and reassures everyone.

The fact that the group shows a lot of caring toward Kurapika at the moment they realize it involves the Troupe (and that they all planned to join him to help him, while Killua and Gon wanted to go there to also punch Hisoka, I recall Leorio had no others reasons than seeing his good friends. that’s the only reason he came to YorkNew, where Kurapika was there for his revenge, Killua just went along anything Gon was going, and Gon first wanting to punch Hisoka and then find the game).

But we know, at least, that those moments we didn’t see they got okay with each others. Leorio and Kurapika actually do talk in the York New arc, alone together, just not for long (we see Leorio waiting for Kurapika and talk together for a whole page before Killua and Gon join them, or of course, Leorio trying to calm Kurapika down in the car), so we can guess that it’s normal occurence.

Of course Kurapika being sick is again, more of what we hadn’t seen, but idk, I don’t see Kurapika being one to really accept being pampered considering how he just went on “I’m fine” while he was still sick. He doesn’t like people worrying for him so idk, while Leorio is trying to help eventually you can wonder how much Kurapika accepted to be that vulnerable in front of them (hell he tried to get up and go back to the Mafia while still sick, that guy istg).

So there’s definitly things we don’t know, but I don’t think it influenced Kurapika’s big decisions to isolate himself, or if so, just to isolate to keep those he cares about safe. Now If I let myself get all shipping goggles over it, I would definitly go the road of “he’s getting too close and if I allow him to get this close it’ll be painful and he could be in danger” but. I’m aware that’s probably just my shipping headcanons ahah.

As for Killua and Gon it’s hard to think we missed much aside from Gon’s apologizes. Also for the Lover’s Suicide, while it’s true it’s a Lover connotation, let’s just remember than in japanese it’s “joined suicide” mostly, and it’s just that it’s mostly associated to lovers. It’s not exactly Killua calling them lover p er se, while he’s more than likely thinking that tho.

As for Killua going jealous I think it’s normal once you get to like, have someone shows interests to the person you like, to get some interests on their lovelives for exemple.

About Killua and Gon, I think we mostly missed them messing around like friends, like they always do, but as we saw everytime, they get closer when they do those.

But it would be interesting to see what else we missed, what we still have to k n o w. There’s still probably a lot we don’t know and I want to know.

give me those leorio/kurapika scenes Togashi.

Like on that later I’m actually upset because in the DC arc?? As soon as they reunited, we see Kurapika’s startled face, then they have to run into the Zodiac’s meeting, and then BAM, one month later, we never see them again together, and the only time Kurapika mentions Leorio it’s when saying that while he was uncomfortable with the Zodiac, it’s Leorio’s presence that makes it easy. Like??? Show me that??? I wanna know what happened in that one month, I wanna know if they talked about Kurapika’s problems, I wanna know what moments they shared so that Kurapika would be back at smiling that foundly about Leorio.

That’s THAT MONTH I want to know about. That was a dick move to cut this part I’m still upset.

#it's no wonder it's the part we role play to with a friend this is such an interesting part to explore #and I feel stolen #although I can't blame Togashi #with the rythm of publication lately It hink he focus on Plot Heavy stuff #rather than private moments #thus why we didn't get to see Gon apologizing either #he kinda had to squeeze plots moment together #but ... fuck I need to know #ichafantalks hxh #ichashipping leopika #mostly kdjhfdjk #bahare uzuchiha #ichareply
