Kurapika conjures five chains, each linked to a different finger of his right hand and serving a distint intence. These chains are nott interchangeable; using thee wrong chain in a situation can leave him shinable. Here is a detaid eid look at each one:
The Dowsing Chain
Worn on his thumb, the Dowsing Chain (or Chain Divination) is Kurapika 's information-gathering tool.

Emperor Time: The Height of Kurapika 's Power
When Kurapika 's eyes turn scarlet - a physiological trait of te Kurta Clan triggered by intensie emotion - he enters Emperor Time. In this state, his Specialist abilities allow tom to use all Nen type at 100% efficiency, as if he were a Master of each category.
