No pathetic attempts at clever intros today; my brain is fresh out, and anyway, why waste valuable time writing pre-cut text when I could be reading about Enma and Tsuna being fabulous teamworky boyfriends and winning all the things?
I have so much love for the fact that, like Ryohei's gear, Enma's powers apparently require him to become shirtless.
The only thing that would make this picture even better is if Nuts had migrated to Enma's shoulder just cuz.
Boy do you have their number, Spade! The pathetic, no-good Tenth candidates! That sure is them all right!
OH SPADE. ARE YOU GOING TO BE A DICK AGAIN. RIGHT NOW. And here I had been wondering when this was going to come up again too. XD
LUCKILY FOR US, ENMA HAS BEEN MANHANDLED BY THE FISTS OF COMMON SENSE! We shall see if Spade's powers of wily angst manipulation can hold up.
OH Tsuna's face Jesus Christ if Enma had not fortuitously completed that sentence in a positive way I swear to God he looked like he would have just fallen apart all over again. XD When this is all over we might have to do something about this new co-dependency thing he has been developing.
Oh, hell yes, Enma. You see? That was one powerful manhandling those fists gave him. Bravo, Simon Tenth. Bravo. |D
BERMUDA! I HOPE YOU ARE TAKING NOTES!! AS YOU CAN SEE, TSUNA AND ENMA ARE 100% STICKING TO THEIR GREAT GRANDADDIES' PROMISES NOW, SO BUGGER OFF ALREADY.
Gosh Tsuna you look so stunned. I bet he is thinking, "Well shit now I really CAN'T ever betray him like ever EVER again." I can't even imagine the guilt trips if he so much as takes the last popsicle from the freezer in their cozy future one-bedroom apartment. "Tsuna-kun, did you take the last one? And it was lemon? My favorite? But... I thought you would never betray me again. ._." They are going to have the most horrible, hilarious emotional blackmail fights when they hit those awkward, heavy-emo late teenage years.
Yeah, that's right Spade! They are totally made up now so you can go on and SUCK IT. Find some other sweet and innocent redhead to manipulate.
I note we have no guarantee that Tsuna won't go and have a complete fucking breakdown over this though.
I didn't know Tsuna's dad used to be Batman!
Well, actually I did have sort of an inkling.
Wow. Like Gokudera before him, Enma must have gotten like. ALL of his looks from his mother's side. XD
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
"The Ninth didn't pursue the incident further..." SIGH. One of these days, maybe Timoteo will finally stop offering up reason after reason for me to dislike him. XD
Speaking of Timoteo, this makes it all the more ridiculous that his first reaction way back when was, "WHAT FLOOD OF BLOOD?" THAT FLOOD OF BLOOD, YOU OLD COOT. THE ONE WHERE ALL THE PEOPLE DIED IN WHAT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY NOW A HAUNTED ELEVATOR THAT THEY WILL PROBABLY ONE DAY DO AN M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN MOVIE ABOUT, OR AT LEAST FILM AN EPISODE OF GHOST HUNTERS THERE.
SERIOUSLY, HOW MANY OTHER FLOODS OF BLOOD COULD THERE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN?
DON'T EVEN ANSWER THAT. OH MY GOD.
Iemitsu's murderous face sure is terrifying and oddly kind of a turn on.
Wait just a sec. So this whole incident ended with Iemitsu completely denying all the things you are accusing him of and in fact just claimed that you would prove, D? Really? Okay.
Because that is surely going to change the mind of Mr. "TSUNA-KUN WOULD NEVER EVER BETRAY ME!", certainly. Enma was writing this kid hopefully optimistic and retrospectively symbolic love letters even before the jesusing, so you can only imagine what he's like now.
bawwww baby Enma. ;_________;
Oh wow that is cold. Also kind of awesome.
IN A PLOT SENSE, I MEAN. Not, you know, actually awesome for our heroes or anything. Obviously it's kind of the opposite of that.
Wait, Spade, did you just CONFESS to the murder yourself? I thought your goal was to divide them, not the complete opposite! Did you just abandon that plan solely because you felt like being a dick?! You just can't say no to dickery no matter how much you get in even your own way, can you?
Holy wow. Please let this be the one bad guy who actually does get to die because holy fuck. This one single guy is literally responsible for every bad thing that ever happened in Enma's life ever. Now that is dedication to being an asshole!
BUT SERIOUSLY, WHEN DO WE GET TO TOSS THIS GUY INTO A TANK OF MACE AND PIRANHAS ALREADY?
"YOU BASTARD!!" ENMA, YOU ARE SO ADORABLE. YES, HE IS THAT, AND A GREAT MANY OTHER WORDS BESIDES.
OH YAY IT'S RAIN~~~
"*FISTBUMP* *ADELHEIDS*" This page is doing its best to squeeze yet more pleasured moans out of me, I see.
Enma's power is so deus ex machina-y. I love it so. Counting the seconds until Spade STEALS IT LIKE THE STICKY-FINGERED FUCKER HE IS but still.
"That was quite an entertaining idea." Yeah, using his powers in an obvious way! No one saw that coming.
"THAT LOOK! WHAT IS ENMA TRYING TO TELL ME??" Tsuna, read his mind already! YOU ARE THE MIND READING PERSON, COME ON.
Ooh, it comes in super high-speed flavor now. No more slow-mo X-Burner blasts for this guy!
Aiming bad on purpose, motherfucker~
Hell yeah! BD Aww, and even Mukuro is inspired by their gay. Though that seriously was the most obvious attack in history. Usually I don't see Amano's attack combos coming from a mile away like that, but even so, this one was nice.
But "No Good Duo" actually sounded much less gay than "Hyper Duo"! The Vongola just never stop accidentally downgrading, do they?
Still, the we-did-it fist clench twin panels made me happy in my kokoro. AND WITH THIS, ANOTHER CHAPTER IS DONE. |D Excuse me while I go back and count all the ways that Enma was AMAZING in ANY AND ALL SENSES OF THE WORD in this chapter, because I lost count somewhere around like a thousand or so. Holy crap.

I think Enma has been shirtless and jacket open ever since he got out of bed and became a zombie. He remained as such, it's just that Amano was too much of a tease to show us a clear frontal view.
WHY YES. Enma was AWESOME. His awesomeness is going to increase exponentially from now on. I think his bandages are the seal on his badassery. Once they're off, THERE IS NO STOPPING IT.
Tsuna, Tsuna Tsuna. I still can't get over how his first ever heroic BSOD was over Enma, and in this arc all his little pained/betrayed emotions are connected to Enma in some way.
The boy really is in love.At this point, I don't think anything could redeem Spade now. But I don't think Amano is above pulling a "he was just a pawn / he was cursed / it wasn't under his control / IT WAS NEVER REALLY DAEMON SPADE" card. But as it is now, Spade is definitely one of the more despicable villains in KHR, if not the most.
Also, everyone ships Enma/Tsuna in this manga. I ain't complaining.

-MANHANDLED BY THE FISTS OF COMMON SENSE DFSHLJFS XDD
-They are going to have the most horrible, hilarious emotional blackmail fights when they hit those awkward, heavy-emo late teenage years.
Oh my god why is this true fjsdkl
-Aww but I though Enma's dad was kinda adorable *shot*
-SERIOUSLY, HOW MANY OTHER FLOODS OF BLOOD COULD THERE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN?
DON'T EVEN ANSWER THAT. OH MY GOD.
SFKSHJFJ I should not even be laughing at all but fshkhfjs crying.
-CLEARLY Spade was, indeed, the Shimon Decimo's Villain School teacher.
-The gay friendship shall save us all~!
-Enma is so awesome, yes, and I can't believe I didn't like him in the very beginning fjslgjsl he's so cute I cannot.
And good luck with figuring out a good Spade tag 'cause I got nothin' pffft

Fuckin'this. ALSO, maybe Daemon has an obsession over Simon... WHY did he aim for them, if they were POWERLESS at the time?

That last panel is a thing of beauty, though. ♥

...and then Mukuro would be forever stuck into an owl.
totally out of order
ahahaha YES. It's going to be amazing.
Chrome yelling "We got him!" is the most adorable thing ever. Chrooooome. ♥
That last panel of Tsuna and Enma, oh my. Shounen eyes, little "we did it!" smiles, clenched fists of yay. Om nom nom.
Though that seriously was the most obvious attack in history. Usually I don't see Amano's attack combos coming from a mile away like that, but even so, this one was nice.
Yup! Even though it was totally obvious, it was obvious because it would clearly work. So that made me happy! (Also the telepathy. :D )
Please let this be the one bad guy who actually does get to die because holy fuck. This one single guy is literally responsible for every bad thing that ever happened in Enma's life ever. Now that is dedication to being an asshole!
Yes yes this exactly! Actually, I would not be surprised if he was responsible for all the bad things in Tsuna's life as well, because DAYUM.
Adelheids, oooh. *_* I think Amano may have gotten better at drawing proportional breasts for her! Though her waist is still really tiny.
And yes, the FLOOD OF BLOOD (all-caps necessary) was just as gruesome as I assumed it would be. KILLED TWELVE PEOPLE AND STUFFED THEM IN A HOTEL ELEVATOR. BLOOD DRIPPING FROM THE TOP FLOOR TO THE BASEMENT. Even if it's only the unambiguous villains actually doing this kind of thing, I kind of like that even if Tsuna's life is pretty much bloodless, absolutely no-one is surprised by the idea that his dad or Enma's dad would just brutally kill people.
SERIOUSLY, HOW MANY OTHER FLOODS OF BLOOD COULD THERE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN?
DON'T EVEN ANSWER THAT. OH MY GOD.
Hahaha, they probably had like five. "Boss, someone sliced up a bunch of people and stuck them in the maintenance closet." "Aw, great. How are we supposed to clean up now?"

Well, now. Am I really going to go back and tetras the last half dozen chapters just to verify if this wonderful thing you just said is really true? I think maybe I am. 8D
lol why does the idea of him going around casually dressed like some sort of Square Enix character even when not in hyper mode delight me so? Oh yeah, because of the obvious reasons. XDHe really is helplessly in love with Enma. It is painfully cute.
I hope Spade doesn't turn out to be yet another puppet villain, that would suck. Especially since he himself is like the biggest puppetmaster in KHR history. If HE was being manipulated by yet another gut, the only way that would not be the worst twist ever is if that other guy was Kawahira. (Then it would be the most awesome twist.)
And of course! There's really no way you can't.
And lol. Though it would have been better if Tsuna wasn't so confused about it at first. Enma is really doing most of the work in the eye communication department. :P
no subject
No worries, I'm like the last person in history who should complain about something like that orz XDYou just know their domestic disturbances will truly be something to behold.
He was nice-looking in a dadly way! Just, you know, not really attractive in a hot way at all. Nothing like Cozart.
I REALLY, REALLY JUST DON'T WANT TO KNOW. THE NINTH SEEMS TO HAVE HAD AN EXTREMELY MESSY REIGN AND TO BE ALL TOO COMFORTABLE WITH THAT FACT.
Enma is the bestest and most adorable and I firmly believe that anyone who disagrees is either playing devil's advocate just for the hell of it, or has an opinion which is DEFECTIVE. I am prepared to go to Internet war over this if necessary. XD
Sob I really have been struggling with that Spade tag, but nothing is coming, dammit. :/

yeah i got kinda confused with spade's "let me tell you a little story that will make you hate tsuna" and then quickly turned around to "hah jk it was just me being an ass....as usual...cuz y'know, that's what i do~"
i can see bermuda just sitting there going "all is going according to plan"
like maybe tsuna and enma/whoever else wants to hit the spade pinanata will beat him almost to submission and then bermuda will be like: omg guyz thanks so much for weakening him, k now it's my turn to fuck with everyone!"
or something like that....

On a more serious note, sometimes I wonder if MS and IEM edit their translations just to be different from one another. If so, I really wish they wouldn't, at least not when in cases where it affects the clarity of the translation. I agree that MS's version was much clearer when it cam to the Flood incident (although I did like the extra gruesome detail in IEM's version).
And yeah, that last panel was just love. ♥
He is supposed to be dead, isn't he? That probably is what they'll end up doing in the end.
--and pardon me, I just had the most hilarious thought of "OH MY GOD WHAT IF FOR ONCE GOKUDERA'S CRAZY ATTEMPTS TO EXORCISE AN EVIL SPIRIT ACTUALLY WORKED FOR ONCE AND THAT'S HOW THEY DEFEATED HIM" and I wanted to cry because it will NEVER EVER HAPPEN but even so it was the most glorious mental image ever. XD
Re: totally out of order
Chrome was pretty adorable there, agreed. ♥ I can't help but notice that ever since Spade vacuumed the excess guardians into his card dimension, we've been left with only the very most adorable characters left in the Vongola lineup (if you count owl!Mukuro as a different entity from regular flavor Mukuro).
Yup! Even though it was totally obvious, it was obvious because it would clearly work.
Exactly! I am so glad to see characters using their powers in ways that make sense and actually take advantage of their abilities.
Can you imagine if he was responsible for multiple life-wreckings? Like, he picks a few targets and then just goes around taking every opportunity he can to fuck up everything for them. I wouldn't put it past him! I mean, we've already got one confirmed victim and counting.
Now that you mention it, Spade's version of Adelheid's ice clones were indeed much more realistically proportioned. Go figure. XD
Hahaha, they probably had like five.
Sobsobsob why is this so plausible. LIKELY, EVEN. XDDD
no subject
Well, I mean, how could they not? They are just awesome. ♥ ♥ ♥
I loled, man. I don't even think he understands what he's doing anymore. He's just trying to piss off as many people as possible in any way he can, and then brag about it.
Bermuda has been kind of sitting off to the side watching quietly so far, which is a bit unsettling given that we know his usual M.O. is "sit off to the side watching quietly, and then SWOOP IN TO SNAKE CHAINS AROUND EVERYONE AND THROW THEM ALL IN FOREVER JAIL." >_>

At least their make-up sex'll be great, right? Or, really awkward and adorable or something.Maybe Enmapapa was better looking in his younger days? 8c
though Iemitsu was able to keep his sexiness over the years, clearly.Sob, considering he kept around all of his fail, slow-to-do anything guardians, this is probably true. sjfhskj
fsdkjsd I know, I just want to adopt him and take him home and give him apple sauce and tell him how wonderful he is this is not creepy at all nope.
I was thinking something that has either "douchebag" or "eggplant" in it, but that feels a bit too easy =c

This would be so ridiculously petty, we might as well assume it's the case. But seriously, reading IEM's translation you wouldn't even know that they traced the antique bulled back to the seller, which is what people do IRL. It was so headscratchingly confusing.
FUCK YEAH EXORCIST GOKUDERA you know I just had the most awful idea of a cross-over between KHR and D.Gray-man AAAAAH
