I've just started watching Hunter x Hunter (2011) and stumbled upon a question
on ep. 47. Why didn't Kurapika use the same power as that "Manipulator" woman
who made a certain man become her slave by kissing him (or at least a similar
technique)... once he mastered all 5 types of Nen?

Why didn't Kurapika manipulate Uvo to tell him all the information about the Phantom Troupe?


Kurapika does not have the ability to use any nen skill regardless of the
type. He has the ability to learn any nen skill regardless of type and use it
efficiently once has learnt it as if he was that type. He does not know
Baise's nen skill so can't use it.

Her kiss is a specific manipulator skill. There are many different manpulator
skills such as the guy fighting with tops you already met.

Kurapica does not have that kind of ability. Although he could train to get
that since nen is tied to character/personality and his nen ability(Emperor
Time) gives him 100% use of every category, which means his
personality/character would be able to process anything he wishes to. Which
ultimately means it's possible if he spends the time.

Key Word: Time.

Kurapica does not have the time or the luxury to train for another skill. He
already has 5 chains with different abilities, which speaks for his immense
talent. Therefore those abilities take most of his time, polishing them,
mastering them into perfection.

Although he has 100% use of manipulation, there's no indication that he
trained for it. One can only assume that Kurapica deemed all the 5 chains more
worthwhile than the ability to manipulate people like slaves.
