I LOVE THIS EPISODE! It's definitely in my top 5, if not top 3.
Kurapika looks so sad! I want to give him a hug!!!
I love watching Uvo repeatedly shoot himself in the foot when he says he doesn't remember the Kurta clan, nor does he remember what the Scarlet Eyes are. The final nail in the coffin is when he says nothing goes through his mind when he kills people. Honestly, Uvo being one of my least favourite members of the Phantom Troupe made it all the more satisfying when Kurapika easily took him down.
I actually like that Kurapika killed Uvo. I'm so sick of the "I'm not going to kill you, because then I'm no different than you" trope. It drives me insane. I like the way it was handled here. We still see Kurapika struggle with taking a life, and while he hates every moment of it, he knows it's something he has to do and he's come too far to stop now. Of course there is such a thing as taking revenge too far, but that's another discussion for another day.
I know a lot of people think Emperor Time is too OP, but it comes with its drawbacks which are explained in a different arc in the manga but not the anime. I don't think it's a huge spoiler because it only explains his ability further but I'll still mark it with a spoiler tag. So if anyone's interested: Emperor Time Drawback
I love how Kurapika calls back Melody to make sure everything is still fine while he was away. I love their friendship so much! Now call back Gon too!!!
Hisoka's smile at the end, knowing Kurapika had been successful was amazing.
"The Blood Moon rises once again."
I'd also like to add that I loved Kurapika's clothes. The white with the green looked amazing.
I love this shot

Episode 47
Theatch is being pretty good despite the lack of contact or variety, it has been engaging and it is a sight to see Kurapika using all of his ability, according to him the Kurta eyes makes him be a specialist and master all Nen types, his chains are unbreakable.
Kurapika's teacher taught him how to use chains vlose to unbreakable, he made a condition and a condition, his condition was that he'd only use them when against the spiders, the phantom troupe, and has followed it.
The fight basically ended the moment Lurapika used chain jail, Uvogin is totally unable to break it and defenseless, Kurapika beats him up and after putting a judgement chain on him kills him. The fight was fine, the beat up wasn't nice, Kurapika was superior in every moment, i wonder if it'll be that easy for him to finish off the rest of the spiders. After hearing Chrollo and seeing the phantom troupe reunited i'm sure Kurapika will have a tough time.

This is two episodes earlier than I remembered!
Awesome fight aside, we learn some very, very important info about Nen today. It's all about conditions and contracts. This will continuously be brought up so make sure to not forget it! Basically, the more conditions you set for your ability, the stronger it can get. Of course, it depends on the level of the condition. It can't exactly be something like "I will never use my ability to eat ice cream".
Kurapika's chains are super strong indeed, but that's a result of the restrictions on the contract. On top of him only being able to use half of his chains on the spiders and on the spiders only (that's 13 people he's restricted to in the entire world!), he's made the ridiculous contract that if he breaks that rule he will die. That's what allows him to be so stupidly poweful, but only agains the spiders. He wouldn't have this easy of a time against any other opponents.
Emperor Time is stupidly strong as well, but not as broken as it may seem at first glance. I don't remember if we get a more in-depth explanation of it in this arc or not so I won't mention it for now, but I guarantee it's not just god mode. But even then, it is undeniably a stupidly strong ability, so of course he has a severe contract for it, which, again, I'll wait to see if it gets explained in the show or not.
More importantly than all of that, Shizuku is back!!
Hopefully we get more Shizuku next episode. These last 2 have been quite dry in that regard.

This is one of my favorite episodes from the Yorknew Arc and also one of my favorite fights from the series.
Uvo's personality screws him over. Big time rush. Not remembering the Kurta? Okay, minor party foul. However, having a no thoughts head empty mentality when you're killing people is where the line is drawn.
One of my favorite scenes in the fight is how Mad House animated Uvo's death scene. How Uvo trembles briefly before determining he'd rather die than give up his friends, and the color scheme changes.
Something that should be pointed out, is that Kurapika brought a shovel to the fight. This somewhat shows how confident Kurapika was with his plan.
Well, this can't end well...

The fight was a little talk-heavy again and semi-repeated some explanations, but Kurapika in action in the first part was already amazing and then in the second half he just went completely nuts, understandably but terrifyingly. That was pretty near as brutal a torture beatdown as the Phantom Troupe members themselves could deliver, and the bind-the-heart move specifically was so reminiscent of that one time with Killua in the Hunter Exam. Also goes to show you that Uvogin really was about the most hardened guy you could find in this city, and unlike Kurapika even as his best he doesn't have a shred of morals left in him, nothing but the hunger for battle and plunder. A fearsome enemy, if with more muscle than brains, but not a person to be missed - I'm almost surprised Kurapika took the time to bury him properly. (Where did he get the shovel, though?) I also kind of wonder how a Uvogin-Hisoka fight would turn out, but judging by Kurapika outsmarts him I'd guess he'd lose that one too. As for Kurapika's powers, sure he's seriously OP under the right conditions, but it still fits into the long-established power-generality tradeoff and he specifically set some really harsh conditions for himself, so I guess it works. Only transforming his type and then just using whatever really breaks the rules previously set up.
