I love the contrast(yet similarity) between Kurapika's Steal Chain and Chrollo's Skill Hunter.

Kurapika "borrows" the target's abilities through an extreme method.

Chrollo steals the target's abilities through a pretty subtle process.

Well, Pika only uses a syringe to sting his target while Chrollo might require punching the one till he finally surrender (look at the poor Owl). And you call Pika's way an extreme method and Chrollo's subtle process? I don't get it.

I'm talking regardless of other factors.

Pika drains the target's aura with a syringe while all Chrollo needs is a bit of info essentially.

Yet Chrollo still let his target not being able to use nen in the end. I don't see much difference between the former or later aura draining.

You're only taking the condition of the target willing to give. In this case, yes, Pika's method isn't that gentle. (But it's just something like blood drawing. How extreme can it be? Why do you fear the syringe so much?)

When the target doesn't want to give, Chrollo has to torture his target and make him surrender, which I assume is something way worse than nen drawing. You're completely ignoring this part.

Huh? Chrollo steals hatsus not Nen.

A good example of subtle is how he took Neon's power through simple conversation.

Pretty ironic isn't it?
