Obligatory new chapter gushing post

Reborn 190 RAW is out. 8D

1. Once again, Gokudera bondage/tentacle rape is canon. XD

2. I mentioned this in the spoiler post in the comm, but I'm glad Ryohei fought Gamma first, not only because it was one last chance to see TYL!him be awesome, but because it made sense for him not to just be all, "Oh hey, let's let the 14-year-old fight the super-powerful miniboss, I SEE NO HARM IN THIS." Of course, that's what's going to happen anyway, but at least this way it's a little more logical. (Plus, WAY TO UP THE STAKES Amano, omg this fight is gonna kick ass.)

3. ...though, I hope those DW!rope-things deactivate automatically when Ryohei is KO'd (or that he manages to deactivate them himself if not), otherwise Dera's kind of screwed. Uh. Also, RYOHEIIII gah I hope he's all right. Unlike the kids, the TYL!Vongola aren't necessarily off-limits. ;_;

4. In the last chapter, the Cervello said that the only ones who knew about the whole magical shuffling base thing were them, Irie, and Byakuran, but in this chapter Gamma apparently knows enough to explain the basics to Gokudera and Ryohei. WHATEVER, but it's interesting that the Black and White spells are so hell-bent on keeping secrets from each other. I have a feeling that's going to end up working against them in the not-so-long run, the way things are going.

5. SO MANY QUESTIONS about the last page, g-gah. Reborn. What the hell are you doing there. Putting aside the GIANT MYSTERY of how he even made it out of the Vongola base in the first place without keeling (since by now we've had it repeatedly drilled into our heads just how deadly the non-7^3 radiation is to the superbabies), HOW WOULD HE EVEN KNOW WHERE TO FIND TSUNA IN THE MELONE BASE. Not only was he kidnapped by Spanner the Rapist and taken to an unknown location, but THE ENTIRE BASE JUST SHIFTED and it's quite likely that even Spanner doesn't know where the fuck they are anymore. AND YET, there is Reborn, chillin' like a villain. Maybe a robot or a hologram or something? Whatever it is, IT IS WEIRD.

But whatever, I love this series. <333

thanks for the link! have just read the raw. great chapter :D :D

i have no idea what reborn is doing there eitherrr the first thing that came to me was AREN'T YOU AT LEAST SUPPOSED TO BE IN A CUTE COSTUME THAT PREVENTS RADIATION OR STH.

it does look like ryouhei was beaten pretty easily... but i'm starting to think it was a plant, what gamma said about hibari kyouya being someone he couldn't beat if he were there. part of why i flailed over ryohei's downtime at the spoiler post was that it didn't look like the binds were coming off dera even if ryohei was out of commission. hence, the need for rescue.

(although of course we can't say for sure that ryohei is already down for the count, and that dera can't escape the binds on his own. he has gotten stronger...)

i'm looking forward to hibari suddenly popping up to save his ass again XD yamamoto doesn't seem likely. we can also haz surprise heroes like the VARIA. in short, yeah, CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER ♥

Heh, it really was an awesome chapter, wasn't it? |D

I think he's wearing one of the radiation costumes; he still has that bubble thing surrounding his pacifier. But, I was under the impression that the suit didn't make much of a difference if he wasn't actually in the Vongola base, soooo... XD

So you think Hibari's gonna save the day, then? It would be kinda fitting, considering what Gamma said (plus it would be kinda hilarious: "Too bad, if Hibari Kyoya were here, he could defeat me! But he's not, HAHAH--O SHIT--" XD), but if he makes a surprise appearance I'd still rather it be later on. I really want Gokudera to have a decisive victory for once, and this is probably the best chance for that to happen.

My favorite scenario would be if Dera and Yamamoto both win their battles, but then get cornered afterward when they're wiped out, and THEN the cavalry arrives, predictable and cliche as that is. IT WOULD STILL BE AWESOME. XD

1. I knew I couldn't have been the only one to think that. :>

2. Yeah, that makes a LOT of sense. I mean, if it came right down to it, I can see Ryohei going "all right, you're Vongola, you're a Guardian, you're Gokudera, you can do it! TO THE EXTREME!" but if given a choice I bet he wouldn't just go "o hay the kid fighting the godmod rapist that seems like an awesome idea 8D"

3. Man, I hope they do too. I think it's... likely? And if not, some move Gokudera's learned might. I dunno. Burn/eat through them in an impressive scene? XD; I just hope Gokudera's all right, yo. AND YES to be honest I've had this sinking feeling for a while that either Lal, Hibari, or Ryohei was gonna be killed in this arc, or maybe even Dino/one of the Varia/etc you get the idea, because the TYL characters aren't the same as the kids if they're trying to change the future by changing the past. I HOPE I AM WRONG, AUGH.

4. Yeah, the Black and White spells are already killing each other, so I can see this becoming a major problem- especially since, Gamma's random moment of exposition aside, Shouichi seems to be keeping his own secrets from everyone, not just the other spell. That could be bad for them. I hope it is.

5. Haha, I hadn't even thought about most of that! True, I bet even Spanner has no idea where they are right now, but given the timing maybe Reborn was in there before the shift happened? Though that still doesn't explain the fact that they're in Seekrit Hiding and the radiation's that deadly...

I JUST LIKE THE FACT THAT HE'S IN. THE. FRIDGE. Or else that's what it seems like to me. Oh Reborn. I don't care if you're a robot/hologram, you are made of win for this. Though... I wonder. None of them could really communicate with the outside through their headsets, but Reborn WAS able to get through to Tsuna during the fight with the Mosca... maybe he was already inside, or even close enough to follow them? CEILING REBORN now that's a sexy scary image.

1. Oh good, I'm not the only one either. :D

2. Yeah, if it had happened the other way I wouldn't have minded, but this works so much better. And I like that it makes TYL!Ryohei seem a little more responsible. It's like when he gave that guardian speech a few chapters ago; one of those little things that shows that he's gotten more mature.

3. Well, Reborn fights never tend to last that long, so hopefully it won't be an issue, since I want to get straight to the good stuff. XD Gah I was worried about Lal but for some reason it didn't even occur to me until a short while ago that Ryohei (and Hibari too if he weren't, y'know, invincible XD) was at risk too. And yeah, so are Dino and the others, if they ever show up. I HOPE THEY MAKE IT OUT ALL RIGHT TOO.

4. Shouichi has a whole PILE of secrets, and I hope they catch up to him and the others too. I'd love it if, in the end, their inability to work together (as opposed to the Vongola who are united by their gay love for Tsuna whee) was the Millefiore's undoing. It's already worked against them in little ways throughout the arc.

5. Haha, come to think of it, this entrance was so Reborn, the way he just popped up out of nowhere without an explanation. He hasn't done it in so long I'd forgotten he used to do it ALL THE FREAKING TIME. Maybe he had a way to track Tsuna (through the suit Leon made, maybe? Or the headsets, now that you mention them) or something, though it still doesn't explain away the radiation. At any rate, it was totally made of win.

CEILING REBORN IS WATCHING YOU MASTUB... I can't even finish oh god. XDDD
