The battle that was Kurapika Vs Uvogin put the spotlight on Kurapika, who had been all but forgotten in the Hunter x Hunter anime series following the Greed Island arc. He challenged Uvogin of the Phantom Troupe and killed him after a long fight. This fight has been labeled as Hunter x Hunter’s best fight ever in the whole series. It has remained in the minds of the fans ever since.
Of course, conquering a member of the Phantom Troupe was no easy task, but Kurapika’s need for vengeance was always the driving force behind his persistence. Chrollo responded by giving a speech to his crew about an enemy with a chain, which led to a search for Kurapika and a series of tense situations.

What Happened During Kurapika Vs Uvogin?
Uvogin eventually locates Kurapika, and the two travel to a deserted wasteland, where tensions rise. After removing the leeches from his body, Uvogin inquires about his opponent, sensing that he isn’t a typical Nen user. Before responding, Kurapika inquires if Uvogin and the Phantom Troupe remember the people they’ve killed.
He responds that he can only recall particular people who left an impression on him and that Kurapika now seeks vengeance. Uvogin can’t recall anything about the Kurta Clan, which the troupe murdered five years ago, and their Scarlet eyes, but admits that he was a member of the Troupe five years ago. He hints that killing people makes him feel nothing, prompting Kurapika to label him slime and declare that Uvogin will atone through his death.

Kurapika then challenges Uvogin to unleash all of his might. Uvogin responds by punching the ground, creating a smokescreen. He sneaks up on Kurapika and delivers a full-force Big Bang Impact, breaking his left arm totally. After Kurapika compliments him on his In, he uses his own In to capture Uvogin with his chains and recounts how he came to be captured. Kurapika pierces Uvogin’s steel body with a punch. When he’s wrapped in his Chain Jail, he believes he can beat any Troupe member.
Uvogin refuses to answer his questions concerning the Troupe’s location and skills, so he asks Kurapika to kill him instead. Kurapika continues to pummel Uvogin till his senses are thrown into confusion and he wonders why Uvogin is unaffected when killing the innocent. Kurapika snaps as Uvogin repeats the same response.
He employs his Judgment Chain to encircle Uvogin’s heart. The Judgment Chain is explained by Kurapika: if Uvogin defies the laws he sets, the knife will activate and puncture Uvogin’s heart. The law of Kurapika is that Uvogin must answer all of his questions. Kurapika then asks him where the Troupe is hiding again. Uvogin smiles and urges Kurapika to die instead of responding. Uvogin’s heart is crushed by the Judgment Chain. Kurapika calls Melody after the fight and buries Uvogin’s body in the earth.

Who Is Roronoa Zoro?
“Pirate Hunter” Zoro is the first one to join Luffy’s Straw Hat Crew and also the right-hand man of Luffy. He is so loyal to Luffy that he can take more than a bullet for him, or slash it in pieces. He is the creator of a unique sword style, i.e the Three Sword Style that he created in Shimotsuki Village during his childhood training. And his dream is to become the number one swordsman in the world as he made a promise to Kuina, his late childhood friend. It was their promise that either of the two will become the world’s greatest swordsman. But, now that Kuina is no longer alive, Zoro wants to honor their promise by becoming the greatest swordsman in the world. And we all know this much, Zoro is a man of his words.
Roronoa Zoro
The only weakness of Zoro is that he is not so good with directions. He can get lost in a straight path if left alone. That’s why he never questions where Luffy goes even without a plan. He just follows him blindly. But, other than that he made quite a name for himself. Zoro is considered one of the twelve pirates of the “Worst Generation”. And currently, he has a bounty of 320 million Berries on his head.
What Is The History Behind Zoro And Mihawk Dracule?
Zoro’s dream is to become the world’s greatest swordsman and Mihawk Dracule is the greatest swordsman. It is quite obvious now what kind of relationship they will have and the kind of history that went down between them. In order to become the world’s greatest swordsman, Zoro needs to defeat Mihawk Dracule, one of the strongest Warlords and the greatest swordsman. Zoro faced Mihawk for the first time in Episode 24.
Mihawk was chasing Krieg’s crew from Grand Line and ended up facing Zoro at the Baratie. In order to fulfill his promise to Kuina, Zoro challenges Mihawk. But, life is not a piece of cake. The journey of greatness just began for Zorro. There was no way he could defeat the World’s Greatest Swordsman on his first try.
Zoro’s First Encounter Against Mihawk
Hence, the Three Sword Style Ogi: Sanzen Sekai of Zoro was of no use against the Kogatana, the Knife pendant of Mihawk. That little knife was enough to keep reminding Zoro every day that he still has a long way to go. But, now he is down on his knees in front of the one he wishes to defeat. Why did Zoro ask Mihawk to train him? We are going to know all about it in the next section.
Why Did Zoro Ask Mihawk To Train Him?
After getting separated from everyone, none of the Straw Hats had any idea about what was going on with their captain Luffy. But, once they all came to know what Luffy lost, they all were equally devastated. After knowing that Luffy lost his big brother Ace, Zoro along with every other crew member felt useless. They all felt that they should have been there for Luffy. But, they all were weak.
That’s when Zoro felt the need to get better and stronger. He wanted to become stronger for his captain. And for that, even if he has to beg the one who he wished to defeat all along to train him, he was willing to do it. And he did it. At that moment, becoming the world’s greatest swordsman became secondary for Zoro. His primary role became to get stronger for his captain.
That’s why Zoro swallowed his pride and begged Mihawk to train him. This was what made Zoro ask Mihawk to train him. That’s the kind of friend Zoro is to Luffy.
