Kurapika Character Ask 5

So at first blush I didn’t think I could really work with this question, just from the premise. I don’t think Kurapika would really have much opinions on assassins as a group, and the question feels a bit to me like asking someone what they think about other race car drivers because one of their friends comes from a racing family. I think the idea here was to do something with Kurapika and Shin, though, or at least that’s where my mind went with it. I thought it’d be fun to do something with them, so I tried to work with it here.

Dirty Thoughts

For anyone not familiar with Sakamoto Days, Shin (the blonde boy) is a mind-reader who works for/with retired assassin Mr. Sakamoto. Occasionally Sakamoto will get annoyed with Shin and imagine killing him graphically, which Shin of course sees and reacts to. It’s a recurring gag, but one I thought could be played with a bit if Sakamoto imagined something a little different.
