HUNTER X HUNTER PHANTOM ROUGE MOVIE REVIEW
-YOSHIHIRO TOGASHI
(MAY 21 2020)
The movie takes place after the fight between Kurapika and Gen'ei Ryodan (Phantom Troupe) in the Yorknew City arc and before the Greed Island arc. I think, it is partly a canon since this movie tackles about Kurapika's past, a more broad presentation on why such hatred rooted on his heart, the past which haunted him, and an introduction of character which he hold dear.
The story starts with Kilua, waking up from a bad dream about Illumi warning him not to make friends as betrayal is inevitable. He, along with Gon came to know Kurapika's condition of getting his eyes stolen by his childhood friend, Pairo. Being friends as they are, they went to his rescue with the goal of retrieving Kurapika's eyes. There, they encountered enemies which should not be in their location or doesn't even exist such as Uvogin. With Uvogin on the scene, the Phantom Troupe also made their move, having the same goal as they are, which is to locate the enemy playing around with them.
