Though Kurapika outwardly states that he desires to become a Blacklist Hunter and his ultimate goal is to capture the band of thieves that massacred his family, he is willing to compromise his personal morality and delve into the squalid side of society in order to achieve his goal. However, Kurapika can be kind and affectionate, smiling when those friends are happy. Having been traumatized from losing everyone he loved at the age of twelve, Kurapika closes his heart to new people and remains introverted as to stay focused on his goal.

His distance from others initially keeps him level-headed and moralistic, but his heart has been poisoned with sadness and hatred. He is reticent not one to open up to people easily and quite judgmental. When he is about to be dropped by Leorio, Majitani moves and admits defeat, putting the score at 2 - 1 in favor of Leorio's team.Kurapika is a cool and intelligent individual, possessing vast knowledge. Seeing that, the prisoner changes her bet to forty hours on Majitani being conscious. To confirm, he brings Majitani to the edge of the platform and threatens to drop him. Next, he bets twenty hours on Majitani feigning unconsciousness. Leorio agrees and bets ten hours that Majitani is alive, which he wins. The female prisoner challenges Leorio to have a betting game instead. Meanwhile, the team suspects Majitani's real condition. Hisoka then becomes the first applicant to pass this phase. Togari attacks with four crescent blades, only to be finished with one sweeping attack. Elsewhere Hisoka is met by Togari, a former examiner whom Hisoka attacked and is now wanting revenge. Frustrated, Leorio decides to use the majority rule as a way out of the difficulty but no one supports him.

Leorio, and even Killua cannot persuade Kurapika to finish the fight for the latter refuses to fight a person who has lost the will to fight.

A female prisoner claim that Majitani is only unconscious, thus Kurapika's match has not been settled.
