Darn it all, knew it was too good to be true!
- HUMMINA HUMMINA HUMMINA
- ohhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyy goooooooood
- so attractive *__* x_x *just. DIES A BUNCH OF TIMES*
- lol Nuts. I like how you're just... there. "'SUP."
- WOW, GUYS. WAY TO BLOW UP THE ISLAND. ...were they actually on that cliff I was talking about before? That one way back from that one chapter with the things? You know, where they showed the island from a distance just like this view we're getting now and there was that epic showdown cliff and it was just like, "OMG. LET'S GO THERE!!!" That would be so cool if they actually were there... anyway!
- Nonos! Oh, how I've missed you. Ganauche, whatever would we do without you around to shout things like, "THE FLAMES EXPLODED!" I just don't even know. And look at the Ninth's surprised face! I would like to kick him in the nuts once or twice and see if he makes the same face. That's a mystery that I think it would be worth it to solve!
- I think that thing where Knuckle looks more like Yamamoto than Ryohei is sort of happening in reverse in Yamamoto's panel over on this page... does that even make sense? He looks bizarrely like Ryohei in that panel, is basically what I'm saying.
- Reborn's debris-covered hat is the lulziest, most adorable thing I've ever seen. "TSUNA, THAT BASTARD. >("
- Meanwhile Owlkuro is just like. Dying on the ground next to him. "UGGGGGGH." Brb, I'm kind of dying myself over here.
- OH MY GOD THESE TOP THREE PANELS. *MARRIES THEM AND GIGGLES INCESSANTLY DURING THE VOWS*
"That shot right now used up the very last bit of my energy, except for this last little ounce that I saved to say this sentence afterward. Damn, maybe I should have used that energy to fly back d--*FLOP*"
- Upside-down grumpy FML Owlkuro is just... oh god. ICONSSSS I NEED ICONNNNNNNNNNS
- Damn, Mukuro, your body done got blown the fuck up. Sucks. OH WELL, LIFE GOES ON. How long are owls living these days? Well, you'll be off and reincarnating again in no time!
- OH GOD CHROME YOU ARE JUST LIKE ALL BLOODIED UP THERE. MEDIIIIIC
- ...Daemon isn't dead, is he. Just had this disturbing paranoid realization that he is just going to REAPPEAR and be like "AHAAAA" and they'll all be like "FFFFFF." Because I mean, Dera and Lambo and the rest still seem to be off in their poker dimensions, and Mukuro's body can't really be blown up, can it? And the hell kind of shounen final battle is over in like two chapters? THAT AIN'T NO SHOUNEN BATTLE I EVER SAW. FOR REALS.
- Oh no, the remainder of Enma's shirt got blown away forever. Such a tragedy. Yes. >_>
- "Tsuna, you did it!" **
- OH MY GOD OH MY GOD NO! IS A TRAP HAPPENING? OH SHIT OH SHIT--
- SON
OF
A
BITCH
DAMN IT ALLLLL
- Seriously, though, two chapters? We all knew the answer to that was a big "HA, YOU WISH."
- OH NO. A PUNCH RIGHT TO THE SHOUNEN WEAK SPOT!
- OWLKURO OH MY LORD. I'M TRYING TO BE HORRIFIED AND THEN YOU JUST...! PLEASE CAN WE BE SERIOUS FOR ONCE!?
- THIS IS ALL THAT DESERT FLAME'S FAULT, ISN'T IT. I SEE THAT SAND ALL AROUND. CURSE YOU, NAMETWIN.
- No, no, I'm sorry, Julie. I could never stay mad at you.
- WHOA. *STOPS LAUGHING AND SUDDENLY PAYS ATTENTION!*
- "YOU MADE ME BLEED MY OWN BLOOD!" Heh.
- ...
- Um.
- Okay, I was expecting maybe like a big whooshy final blow or something that maybe would be survivable in that off-screen kinda way, or like maybe one of those giant Yamamoto torso wounds that all the kids are doing these days, or something else easily shounen-survivable...
- But this! Is making me JUST A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS. D:
- Even Reborn is clenching his fist and trembling, oh my god SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
- YES. YES, YOU TELL THEM, REBORN! "YOU ALL ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME."
- Um, Reborn? Why are you listening to them.
- oh my God, and all this time Tsuna is just getting completely thrashed in the background, and like maimed and stuff ooooooooorz
- Enma bawwwwww. Shounen weak-yet-determined "stop... it..." hand grabs are one of my biggest weaknesses!
- So are shounen lying-on-the-ground-curling-up-fingers-in-the-dirt-while-gritting-one's-teeth moments! *_*
- OH MY GOD SERIOUSLY THOUGH SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING Daemon is like BEYOND crazyface and everyone in the vicinity is either too weak to move, or upside-down, or too inexplicably willing to obey guys named Bermuda when they say that yeah, they totally have the authority to boss around the Arcobaleno. ENMA BABY. IT'S YOU. THERE'S NO ONE ELSE! ;_;
- Except like idk Kawahira or some other last-minute guy or something??
- Seriously, now would be a really good time for one of those last-minute saves, if anyone's feeling up to it...?
- Orrrrrr, Enma's ring could just spontaneously evolve into a robot beetle? Where the fuck does the mafia fucking find these things anyway??
- It just occurred to me that if Daemon really had killed Tsuna right here and now (she said, laughing it off as though of course IT COULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED and she absolutely was not freaking the fuck out over his safety just a few moments ago), he would have died wearing mittens. That just strikes me a as a really sad, sort-of-cute-but-also-pathetic thing, somehow. Like if he had died while holding a balloon.
- WHAT.
- HOW MANY RINGS WAS THIS FREAKING RING FREAKING SPLIT APART INTO, ANYWAY???!!
- AND DOES THIS MEAN ONLY TSUNA GETS TO BE THE HERO NOW. BALLS.
- SPEAKING OF BALLS IS HE GOING TO COMBINE ENMA'S BLACK HOLES AND HIS X-BURNER INTO SOME SORT OF SUPERNOVA COMBO?
- AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WILL IEM'S EVENTUAL TRANSLATION EVER MANAGE TO TOP THE SUBLIME BEAUTY OF DAEMON'S BOTTOM-RIGHT PANEL "THE FUCK?!" I'M THINKING NO. I'M THINKING THIS A MOMENT TO CHERISH AND TREASURE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHILE IT LASTS, BECAUSE TRUE PERFECTION IS FLEETING. <3
Boy, that Tsuna kid. He is just damn fucking impossible to kill, isn't he?

As soon as Reborn said there was nothing left of his body, I was like oh fuck HE'S BEHIND YOU. Because by now we should know better than to believe anyone's dead until we've seen not only the body but the local coroner.
I don't think I can even comment on Owlkuro right now, except for OMGLOL. I kind of don't want him to get his body back, because he's so much more fun like this.
Where the fuck does the mafia fucking find these things anyway??
I keep asking myself that! IDK, the mafia must be/have been absolutely full of people like Irie Shouichi: not quite mad scientists, just people who keep having thoughts like "Wouldn't it be cool if. . . ." and then actually acting on them. Like when you were eight and thought a rocket-propelled skateboard would be the coolest thing ever, only a lot worse.
IEM will probably fall back on the good old standard of "What the. . . ." but, compared to "THE FUCK?!!" it rather lacks panache. Not to mention the timeless elegance.

Because by now we should know better than to believe anyone's dead until we've seen not only the body but the local coroner.
Haha, this.
I kind of don't want him to get his body back, because he's so much more fun like this.
Agreed. If/when he does eventually get his body back there will be mourning on my part.
It has really reached the point where I'd be more surprised if we ever discover there's some ridiculous robot-transforming/black-hole-creating/time-traveling/immortality thing that the mafia doesn't have. Like, "you're telling me the mafia doesn't have an army of giant clone-dinosaurs that transform into submarines that can punch a hole through the earth's core and come out clean on the other side of the planet and then transform back into a ring? LIES. QUIT HOLDING OUT ON US."
I am curious to compare the translations when the IEM scan comes out. Theirs usually is the version I ultimately consider canon, but every so often MS does hit it out of the park, and I'm fairly certain this may be one of those times, solely for the magnificent "TO HELL WITH IT, THIS IS DEFINITELY WHAT WE WOULD SAY IF WE WERE IN THIS GUY'S POSITION, SO..." attitude they seem to have taken toward that last page in particular.
no subject
owlkuro made me laugh my ass off waaaaaay more than was healthy for me. i think the fact that the word or phrase "the fuck?!" was used so many times in this translation also had me running to look at the RAW and see what they all said HAHAHAHAH
i saw enma's ring and was all: OMFG! ARE THEIR RINGS MATING EACH OTHER?! FINALLY! AT LEAST *SOME* STRANGELY CRYPTIC AND ALWAYS CHANGING INANIMATE OBJECTS CAN PROPERLY SHOW THEIR MUTUAL LOVE!
also, chrome not realizing her power supposedly did nothing was like in dbz abridged when chaozu realized they couldn't bring him back the dragon balls and tenshinhan was all :nooo! and chaozu was all: wait what-? (ah finding parallels between abridged series' and khr not good....)
aaaaaah!!! reborn!!!! what the eff?!!! is this friggin bermuda guy related to luche or something cuz that's the only person (other than the ninth i suppose) who he's actually listened to.. *le gasp* unless bermuda played a part in making him an arcobaleno!! makes sense...he has that slight spitting out of the word "arcobaleno" everytime he refers to reborn...idk!
no subject
I wonder if this means ghost!Cozart can pal around together with ghost!Giotto in Tsuna's ring from now on. Will we get to see the both of them make ghost cameos during the climaxes of Tsuna's fights? I AM SO OKAY WITH THIS.
As for Reborn, I doubt Bermuda and the Vindice have anything to do with the Arcobaleno, if only because Reborn seems to have no idea what Bermuda's real role in this whole Simon/Vongola promise thing is (and he seems really frustrated that he doesn't know). That said, it still puzzles me that in the space of two panels he went from telling Bermuda he had no reason to follow his commands to... well, following his commands. Did it just not occur to him that Bermuda might be BSing about having a good reason to keep Reborn from interfering, or what? XD Anyway, whatever the case, I'd really like to get some answers about Bermuda ASAP, because the dude is really starting to piss me off.
no subject
AND YES DAMN THAT WAS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. SORT OF. Hibari looked weird from the top angle in that page that he appeared in. He looked chibi. :/
AND NOW ENMA WILL NOT HAVE A RING. AND ...Tsuna and Enma's rings merged to form one? Gokudera is going to be soooo jealous.
no subject
But it is a bummer that only Tsuna gets to be the big damned hero. Oh well, lucky being the main character.
no subject
I mean, look down your comment. I didn't spare anyone.

I talk a whole damn lot here, just warning.
The balloon has no tail. Usually, that means the speaker is off-panel. Someone during the editing just thought "oooh, well, the balloon is by this kid's side, so this must be the kid speaking..." but it's clear, at least to me, that it's still Reborn speaking.
Orrrrrr, Enma's ring could just spontaneously evolve into a robot beetle?
My reaction: TRANSFORMER RING!
AND DOES THIS MEAN ONLY TSUNA GETS TO BE THE HERO NOW. BALLS.
I hate this, too, but... it seems that whichever original McGuffin originated the Tre-ni-sette was divided in a lot more than 3, and Byakuran would have never gotten anywhere from the start. This thought comforts me, because it's as if the Universe had been trolling him from the beginning and there's never enough of trolling the troll.
It's also more fuel to my pet theory that the Primo Generation amassed all that man and firepower while Saving The World from things Man Was Not Meant To Know, and the current Mafia is what their support group used to be. They had to get money and infra-structure for their heroic battling from somewhere, right? And the rings are all probably this same ore/jewel thingy, which was separated and distributed amongst some hapless youngsters who stumbled into some cave in Italia, a long time ago. Maybe distributed by a greater being, maybe not. But they used to be one single extremely powerful thingy, and someday they'll go back to being one single extremely powerful thingy (which Tsuna will use to go EoE on everyone? I kid, I kid. Everyone will turn into Puppies and Unicorns instead of Tang).
Anyway, so Giotto put this huge shindig together, gathering people from several countries and several classes in order to FAITO! In an organized, compartmentalized manner! To take care of the European Side of their battle. But Simon was smarter and put a smaller, specialized group together, which he had greater control over, to take care of the Asian Side.
And after all the battles were over, Giotto suddenly found himself holding an enormous, heavily armed group of entitled pricks who'd saved the world while pocketing gobs of money, and wanted to keep on pocketing money if they had to screw the world. The single most entitled of them just happened to be in his inner circle. "Well, we saved the world, now we should OWN it!" So Giotto just threw his hands up and went to Japan to retire quietly in Ugetsu's state, where he wouldn't have to stare upon the disappointment of a lifetime in the face. The other, non-prick guardians probably followed.
Hell, I even see Lampo as creating the Bovino in order to put a distance between himself and Creeper Spade. And Spade didn't care, because he always kind of thought of Lampo as a kid and a joke. Only Lampo somehow had domain over whichever technology created the Bovino weapons...? Maybe he invested on that research in hopes of going back in time and fixing something? Hell, maybe he and G were together on that one, and G was the brains while Lampo just tossed money in. All in hopes of going back in time and putting the band back together, to keep Giotto's heart from breaking...
I love this theory. /tldr
And lastly:
he would have died wearing mittens.
OH. MY. GOD.
Re: I talk a whole damn lot here, just warning.
Right now, RIGHT NOW
I can't see that ring union creating anything other than an AWESOME BATTLE ARMOR for Tsuna.
I mean, hell, if his bones were broken, he's gonna need an exoskeleton to move around!
SO TSUNA WILL TURN INTO IRON MAN OR SOMETHING.
I just have to say...
Hell, maybe he and G were together on that one, and G was the brains while Lampo just tossed money in.
AMANO SHOULD HIRE YOU AS AN ADVISER.

Well, they could tell you but then they'd either have to 1. kill you or 2. force you to join their famiglia.
Owlkuro was my favorite thing about this chapter, negl. And is it me or did Chrome's boobs get bigger???
no subject
Owlkuro should stay the way he is♥ Now I can dream of Hibari and an Owl fighting. Or HiBird and Owlkuro having a bitch off.
And just to mention: Since the memory-things didn't have an enggagement ring, THEY'RE MAKING IT NOW. Does that mean the Decimos pawns the Primos' relationship? :D Awww, now they're married :'> /that's seriously the only thing I thought when it happened *o*
