DAY 2
That post header makes this sound like some sort of KHR diary. Hmm...Dear Diary,
Today Daemon Spade attacked us. But I could not stop laughing! It was the weirdest thing.
Sincerely, Tsuna
- Holdover thought from last night when I was too busy being distracted by Mukuro's super-long Rapunzel hair: HOW THE FUCK DID HE GET THERE. ARE THE MISTY TYPES TELEPORTING NOW. IS TELEPORTING NOW AN ESTABLISHED THING IN REBORN ALONG WITH TIME TRAVEL AND BLACK HOLES AND TALKING BABIES AND HANDSOME DEMENTOR GUYS WHO ARE 600 YEARS OLD.
- COULD IT BE DAEMON SPADE? Now that you mention it, Tsuna, I don't think we should be jumping to conclusions so quickly! Let's assemble a fact-finding team to examine every angle of this debate very carefully before we go around making snap judgments as to people's identities. In this manga you should never take that sort of thing for granted.
- You know what, never mind, let's just go ahead and assume that it is Daemon Spade because it obviously is.
- Hello Enma's back. <3
- They all look cool from the rear, actually. Especially Julie all crouched like that. Just once, I'd like to stand in the middle of a crowd of people while an epic wind blew all around and something shocking happened so I could stand there looking surprised but determined as well.
- On second thought, clearly that is NOT Daemon Spade, that is totally a lady. A pretty, pretty lady.
- Enma... I'm guessing the answer to your question is, "Really easily! Like, so easily, you have no idea!"
- You guys, shouting at him and raising weapons threateningly is CLEARLY NOT GOING TO WORK EVEN A LITTLE BIT but whatever!
- Chrome, I know you are Mukuro's number one fan and all, but this is the oldest ploy in the history of classic villain ploys. I think the best thing to do is go ahead and sacrifice Mukuro's body in the name of justice and freedom and also since Mukuro's soul is fine anyhow. He'll learn to love being a bird! If Tobias from Animorphs could do it then golly so can he!
- YOU SEE! EVEN MUKURO IS ALL, "DUDES FORGET IT JUST FUCKING FINISH HIM OFF ALREADY CHRIST."
- Damn, Mukuro! Someone sure has a high opinion of himself!
- So what he's really saying, basically, is, "THE UPGRADES WILL NOT WORK. GO AND GET SOME NEW UPGRADES AND COME BACK LATER." Check.
- Wow, Tsuna, then you are one step up on me!
- With Enma, Tsuna, and Chrome all in the background, for once in his life Gokudera actually looks tall! Holy shit! Enjoy this moment, kiddo!
- --SHLKSDJFLKSDJFHOLYSHSITSLJFSKJFDSSHFUCKSLJSLDKFJLS *BRAIN TURNS TO STATIC*
- WOW I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL THIS EXACT MOMENT THAT MANGA COULD TOTALLY DO THAT FUCKING CHEAP JAPANESE HORROR MOVIE "HERE-I-AM-NO-WAIT-I'M-OVER-HERE" THING TOO O_O O_O O_O
- THREE EXCLAMATION POINTS REALLY ISN'T ENOUGH!!!!
- OH FUCK! SOMEBODY GAVE THAT JESTER A CARTOON BOMB! D:
- Like at least half of Tsuna's lines these days are him either saying or thinking INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS THINGS. It's really getting to be too much. At first it was fun to mock it but now it's just getting repetitive. At least let another character be the one to state the obvious every now and then.
- EVERYTHING JUST BLEW UP?!?!?! NOOOO
- DID AMANO JUST BLOW UP MY THREE FAVORITE CHARACTERS PLUS NAMETWIN OH NO SHE DID NOT,
- THIS COULD BE EITHER REALLY GOOD OR REALLY BAD! I'LL JUST SIT HERE ON THE EDGE OF MY FUCKING SEAT WATCHING MY OTHER TWO FAVORITES AND WAITING FOR THEIR REACTIONS TO TELL ME HOW TO REACT
- Okay, no, that is a lie. In truth I am absolutely delighted at this turn of events no matter how it plays out, because if Amano doesn't focus on the three of them for a while that means I can mess around with fanfic, and if she does, well then the pros of that should be obvious!
- oh my god and Lambo and Gokudera ARE TOGETHER!?!?!
- Yeah, I can't even pretend to act like this isn't my favorite fucking thing ever. GOD BLESS THIS DAY. JUNE 14, MAYBE YOU AND I DIDN'T GET STARTED OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT, BUT AFTER TAKING THE TIME TO GET ACQUAINTED WITH YOU BRO TO BRO, I GOTTA SAY, YOU ARE ALL RIGHT.
- I SAID WHIP IT~
- *WHOOPAH!*
- WHIP IT GOOD
- Okay Hibari, at your request we will all sit back and watch you be pretty and get your ass kicked like no ass ever did before. XD
- "YOU LOOK JUST LIKE HIM!" Oho, you noticed it too? Yes, that is quite the coincidence ain't it?
- --Oh my god I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
- Amano what the fuck have you been palling around with Tite Kubo or something seriously this is just like something that he would pull. Ugh nasty.
- Lies, secretly I am still delighted. Y'all know I'm just loving everything, I can't even pretend. XDDD
- Especially Enma and Tsuna's faces. HEEHEHEHE. See, this is why there needs to be someone there recording all of these things.
- "THAT'S MY BODY YOU BITCH! THE POUTY LIPS DO NOT GO THERE AND EYES MOST CERTAINLY NOT GO THERE YOU FUCKING SICK WEIRDO." This is the closest I have ever come to witnessing Mukuro throw a hissy fit. AND WITH GOOD CAUSE!
- Oh, it's one of Koyo's attacks. I guess we don't need to bother worrying about that one, then.
- Just kidding Aoba, I love you, you idiot manchild you. I miss your sexy Sharingan eyes.
- Son of a gun, he had time to do a shopping spree in prison and he still made it from there to Simon Island in like six seconds flat? Amano, you've already screwed physics so badly it can't tell up from down, you don't need to go and fucking text message break-up with it the morning after too. WHAT DID IT EVER DO TO YOU?
- Well thank God he never got his hands on yours, Enma, or we seriously would be fucked.
- Uh what.
- Uhhhh. Okaaaaaay.
WELL! That was interesting!
Heh,
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
storm_obsession, I know you said the last few chapters were bad, but if the rest are even remotely like this, I have to say that Amano is kind of tightroping a dazzlingly thin line between bad and AMAZING. 8D
no subject
Mukuro!!! Be a good owl!! just for the love of god DON'T BE LIKE HEDWIG!!!
yeah, these past few chapters have been making me reminisce about digimon and how 2nd season ended with aaaalllll the different levels of aaaallll the digimon going into one super-special-awesome-mega-venti-treinta attack....(tsuna and enma should just yell digi-volve toooooo-nogoodpair-mon!)
i especially like how tsuna and enma can communicate with their f*cking eyes....their eyeees! I mean, you might as well say they communicate with loooooooooove <3<3 *throws sparkly flame confetti*
the awesome carrot at the end of this stick though is the thought that more explanations about the arcobaleno could seriously make a debut since ichigo's bankai/harry potter's dementors have one and reborn looks ticked off at them
no subject
No worries, I just have this feeling that in owl form, Mukuro is immortal. Just because he is so damned ridiculous. WHO WOULD HURT HIM? He is an owl, he is not a threat to anyone!
I take it Spade has more attacks up his sleeve? More stolen attacks? Kind of a shame, I can't imagine the upcoming fight(s?) will be all that original so long as Spade is being all rent-a-power. WE'VE SEEN THEM ALL ALREADY.
i especially like how tsuna and enma can communicate with their f*cking eyes....their eyeees!
OMG THIS SPOILER MAKES ME GLEEFUL. 8D
And yeah, I'm hoping for some interesting backstory once this is all over and done with. I mean, the Primo backstory has been the one element of this arc that pretty much the entire fandom seems to have enjoyed (which is pretty rare, these days). So Arco/Vindice backstory would just be delicious. DO WANT.
no subject
*snicker* i forgot how girly spade looks now....he should do an herbal essence commerical...or donate his hair to locks of love when this is all over *shrugs shoulders*
no subject
NO. FUCK NO. CORRUPTION AND DEGRADATION YOUR ASS. HE HASN'T EVEN LED ANYONE ANYWHERE BECAUSE HE HASN'T BEEN BOSS FOR ONE FUCKING DAY, BUT IF HE HAD YOU CAN FUCKING BET HE'D HAVE LED THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD DOWN THE PATH OF PONIES AND RAINBOWS!
I'm sorry, I just... I hate this kind of hypocritical villain speech so bad, it makes me see red. I mean, seriously, he's already making plans on how to distort the facts in order to smear mud on our little Tuna's name! I swear to god, if I could reach through the screen to scratch his pretty face I would.
Setting my irrational anger at an imaginary metro-sexual card player aside, yes for everything there.
no subject
But yeah, given how much he's already distorted the history of the Vongola and Simon families through his TWISTED WEB OF HATRED AND LIES, it doesn't really surprise me that he'd waste no time in pulling that kind of thing yet again. God forbid Tsuna actually lose this upcoming fight, or else I'm sure the final Spade-approved version of what went down would include Tsuna personally blowing up a couple dozen puppies and kittens while forcing a busload of kindergarteners to watch in horror. THAT EVIL MAN.
no subject
The only explanation I can come up with is that what we see now is but a crazy remnant of who he used to be, that is, a much more conflicted and complicated metro-sexual card player, but who nonetheless could be
manipulatedconvinced to work for the side of good when Giotto found it necessary. (Kinda like Mukuro with shoulder pads.) And since he's just a remnant, he can only parrot his old beliefs and extrapolate them to their logical limits, never once questioning himself in order to never face his own fakeness. Or something.Or maybe he's just Cruella De Ville before the heroin addiction turned her into a mummy.
no subject
*sporfle* Now THERE is an image.
no subject
Mukuro acts as if his body doesn't matter to him yet he throws a hissy fit EVERY. SINGLE. CHAPTER. from now onwards it's just hilarious beyond all reasoning. Oh Mukuro why are you so entertaining.
Also be prepared for some serious Enma Tsuna brobonding time in later chapters. I swear it'll even out-sparkle chapter 331.
no subject
I can't wait to read the rest of these chapters. Mukuro throwing hissy fits and Tsuna and Enma bromancing the stars... it sounds magical. *_*
no subject
I was dubious of this at first, but then I saw the next page and said to myself "You know, if someone told me that was Mukuro's older sister I would totally believe them."
I love that Daemon Spade's alternate universe for Yamamoto, Gokudera, Julie, and Lambo consists entirely of CARDS. If they can't get out, they can at least sit down and have a few games. |D
Aha! This page explains why, two chapters ago, Mukuro's bangs seemed to be breaking out in a serious case of eyes. I was wondering about that.
Bwahaha, all those rings together! They look kind of silly. I bet that's where he got those clothes, too. And the hair extensions. Also, I will bet you a dollar that he's wearing those gloves because the rings were all too big for him and Vindice were surprisingly lacking in jewelers.
There are some interesting thoughts about Mist users being able to use other elements if they have the right rings, but instead of having them I am just going to contemplate Daemon Spade's Mach 5 Shopping Trip. (You KNOW he spent at least four of those six seconds trying on different boots and just grabbed the rings on his way out.)
no subject
I expect being stuck in a world of cards with Lambo will quickly turn into some sort of hell for Gokudera, but at least it's something to do! Maybe this is when Lambo first starts to develop his addiction to gambling. |D
Mukuro's bizarre association with various face parts will never cease to disgust me.
Also, I will bet you a dollar that he's wearing those gloves because the rings were all too big for him and Vindice were surprisingly lacking in jewelers.
"CURSE YOU, VONGOLA AND SIMON GUARDIANS, FOR ALL HAVING RINGS THAT ARE TOO BIG TO FIT MY SKELETAL LOCKED-IN-A-FISHTANK-FOR-SIX-MONTHS FINGERS!" Poor D. If only they had known ahead of time that you were coming to steal all their shit, so they could have better accommodated you!
Heh. I just have this vision of Spade!Mukuro opening his eyes in the fishtank, and meanwhile off in another room all the off-duty Vindice guards are playing Bridge or watching Idol or betting on cock fights or whatever it is off-duty Vindice guards do, and then suddenly there's a WHOOSH and a slight breeze and they all look down and realize they're sitting in their underwear. And there's this faint Nufufu echoing off the walls and they realize they've all been had, and oh my god, that bastard stole Brian's fucking BOOTS, this is just the worst day ever.
Nice to see you again

Everyone keeps saying this, and the anticipation is starting to drive me nuts! It's like, WHAT NEXT? What could Amano possibly come up with after all this time to make even the most jaded of KHR readers, who are used to the weirdest and occasionally dumbest plot twists imaginable, to greet the mist recent chapters with such a universal cry of "wtf?" I MUST KNOOOOW. XD
no subject
goodness gracious I missed seeing your reactions to the chapters NOW MY LIFE WILL BE THAT LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLETE AGAIN.
no subject
Thankfully it seems like there is plenty to react to in these newest chapters, so there should be some fun times ahead. :D
no subject
I must admit that in total if you look at the whole thing from really really far, the plot twist seems quite amazing. Like, Shimon family appears, then turns out to have bad secret agenda, then POOF Daemon's the real bad guy behind it! And once they slot this in after the First Generation arc in the anime it'll fit in perfectly! Or something.
Anyway, one reason why i'm not THAT panicky is because knowing Amano and anyway since it's a shounen manga that doesn't have some ridiculously deep plot involving mixed-blessing-endings, everything's gonna turn out just sparkly.
no subject
And yeah, at the end of the day it's a shounen manga, so anyone expecting real serious business is probably going to end up disappointed. I'm just happy this arc had as many good character moments as it did, even during the lulz. It really doesn't take much more than that to satisfy me, and if Daemon continues to be fabulous and Tsuna and Enma continue to be married and Gokudera keeps getting himself stuck in the failiest, most entertaining situations ever, gosh darn it I will continue to be satisfied.
