I spent five minutes trying to think of a witty subject title.

Then I realized as much, and thought, "Wow, that's sad."


1. Ahh, so the UFO portkey base shot them back to Namimori in some sort of humongous sci-fi sneeze. I wondered why Tsuna and co. weren't still in the thing in that last panel last week. XD I love how Tsuna falls HEADFIRST out of a tree and Gokudera is all, "TENTH ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?!" DO YOU EVEN NEED TO ASK? I'm sure he's just peachy. XD

Also Lambo is so adorably dumb. "NOW IT IS I WHO WILL STEP ON YOU!" lol.


2. SISTEMA C.A.I. UPGRADE!!!!

AT LONG FUCKING LAST! BRB EXPERIENCING RIOTOUS JOYGASM.

HAHAHAH LOOK AT IT. THERE'S A FUCKING MISSILE WARHEAD IN HIS SKULL GUN AND URI IS JUST CHILLING OUT ON DERA'S SHOULDER ALL, "FUCK YEAH, BITCH. WE DOIN' THIS."

AND THEN BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. AND EVERYONE WATCHING BELOW ADOPTS RETARDED EXPRESSIONS OF HAPPINESS MUCH LIKE MY OWN. LIFE IS FUCKING GOOD.


3. OH YEAH THERE WAS STILL PLOT GOING ON. BLAH BLAH THERE WAS AN UNINHABITED ISLAND, AND--WHAT IN THE--!!

GOD DAMN IT AMANO PLEASE FOR ONCE LET GOKUDERA DO SOMETHING AWESOME AND HAVE IT NOT BE COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY FOR GOD'S SAKE.

:/

Also Dino looked a lot like Hibari for a minute there in that third panel. Just thought I'd mention that. I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES IT.


4. KUSAKABE~

Huh. Apparently there are three characters who can make me fangirl simply by standing there and doing nothing. GOOD TO SEE YOU AND YOUR POMPADOUR AGAIN, SIR. And your nice-guy pose puts me at ease even during these troubling times!


5. Holy shit Byakuran sure doesn't waste any time when there's something out there that he wants. Thiiiiis probably isn't good. I confirm this by the fact that Tsuna is clutching the sides of his head in horror on the next page. No doubt Basil is throwing a fit, presumably censored so that the readers don't panic even more.

Also, lolling so much @ Hibari. "KYOU-SAN, WHERE TO?" "TO THE JUNIOR HIGH OF COURSE." Because that's what Hibari does. When in doubt, go to the junior high.


6. What the hell is Dino's logic here. Since when is splitting up ever a good idea? Not only has it led to many a horror movie demise, but it also deprives us of any further chance to see epic team-ups like the now-legendary S18. Come on, Amano, that was way too good to be a one-time-only deal. Oh well, at least he and Kyouya can go off and have heterosexual antics.


7. ...Fail boss never gets old. XDDDD I THOUGHT HE WAS COOL NOW AS LONG AS THEY WERE WITHIN A KILOMETER OF HIM?


8. I like that the first thing Squalo wants to do when they get home is to use the phone to go yell at some peeps. It just seems like such a Squalo-ish thing to do.

Also, this seems like yet more fail-logic--doesn't the enemy already know where their base is? Didn't TYL!Hibari have to beat up about 500 guys specifically because THEY WERE INVADING SAID BASE? Since when is their location super-secret? GIANNINI SOMETHING IS UP WITH YOUR SHORT-TERM MEMORY. (And mine too, because I can never remember how to spell your damn name.)


9. Lol at everyone literally being caught with their pants down. XDD SIGH. And the sexy suits are gone now too. Alas! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DREAMS OF SUIT DUELS ON MOTORBIKES, it seems like the whole thing lasted such an unfairly short time.


10. On the other hand, hellooooo Zakuro. Somehow the prospect of someone (IT HAD BETTER BE GOKUDERA) finally getting to fight this guy next chapter more than makes up for any disappointments so far. :D


Also, Happy Belated Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] cobizah and [livejournal.com profile] ricordi! ♥

Heterosexual antics?

AND. DINO SPENT SO LONG SUPPRESSING TRIPPING BECAUSE HE WAS IN A NEAR DEATH SITUATION THAT DESPITE ROMARIO'S PROXIMITY HE WAS FILLED WITH KLUTZ THAT NEEDED TO BE LET OUT!

FIlled with klutz. Now that he's bled it out, he'll be cool.

...yeah. The Vongola's logic is... is... yeah. Wow.

:( Suit dools on motorbikes was a sad, sad, forgotten dream. ~sniff~

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Heterosexual = CODE FOR GAY.

THAT HAS TO BE IT. THE CLUMSINESS WAS JUST BUILDING AND BUILDING UP INSIDE OF HIM. Eventually it just got to be too much.

I'm willing to let the logicfail slide for now, but I hope this isn't going to become a trend. HOPEFULLY WITH ALL THESE UPCOMING FIGHTS, THERE WON'T BE ANY TIME FOR LOGIC, FAIL OR OTHERWISE.

A beautiful dream indeed. It will forever live on in my memory. ;_;

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
:( I.

...I'm kind of getting sick of fights.

I MEAN. I know that's what Shounen manga's all about. But that's ALL that's happening in my shounen manga right now. Bleach has been stuck in EPIC FIGHTS for like, 300 chapters. Naruto's in an EPIC FIGHT right now too...

And KHR is just like 'fight fight fi- 3 pages of humor, FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT'

:(

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, to be fair, at least KHR had three or four chapters of awesome plot/backstory recently in between all of its fighting. Otherwise... yeah, it pretty much is nonstop fightfightfight. But like you said, that's what shounen is all about. EVERYBODY IS KUNG FU FIGHTING. XD

[identity profile] rikasaurus.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Kusakabe made this chapter for me. I love how he just randomly came from under everyone XD

And Hibari never ceases to amuse me when it comes to his ~*Beloved School*~.

And OH GOD YES ZAKURO.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, it was so awesome. HI EVERYONE HOW'RE YOU ALL DOING, *THUMBS UP*. My God, how I love that man.

Hahaha sparkly bold text. HE REALLY DOES LOVE IT THAT MUCH.

I LOVE HOW HE'S JUST STANDING THERE CAST IN THE SHADOW OF HIS STORM FLAMES. HELL YES, BRING ON THE RAPE.

[identity profile] rikasaurus.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
There is no other way to describe Hibari's love for that school.

It's bigger than the universe.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
BIGGER THAN ALL THE SPARKLY BOLD TEXT LJ COULD EVER CONTAIN.

[identity profile] aradiantsun.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Bottom left panel, page 13. It looks like Basil's all ready missing his pants, just hanging out next to Tsuna. And I love Uri more every chapter we get to see him.

Hibari/Namimori OTP for life.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOL, amazing catch. <3 Oh my God where are they?? And in the very same frame Bianchi(?) is telling them to change because "You can't relax with those formal clothes." APPARENTLY BASIL IS WAY AHEAD OF HER.

Uri definitely gets more awesome with every appearance.

AMEN.

[identity profile] aradiantsun.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
It was really the first thing I noticed about the page since Amano tends to like dropping details like faces and stuff. "Formal clothes" got me, too, because Basil was wearing jeans to start with. I'm curious what he considers to be casual if he so easily dropped his formal jeans...

*nods* And is it me, or did he randomly disappear from Gokudera's shoulder? *won't admit she was looking for him*

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"All right, casual time! That means we can walk around naked, right? ...Right? ...Guys, why are you all looking at me like that?"

He did! I was totally looking for him too; he was still there on page 4, but by the next close-up we got of Gokudera on page 10, he was gone. IT MAKES ME SAD.

[identity profile] aradiantsun.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Isn't this what you do in Japan? My master told me so."

I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, THEN. T^T

Somewhere, Iemitsu is laughing like it's going out of style. XD

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
UFO PORTKEY HAHAHAH

GOD DAMN IT AMANO PLEASE FOR ONCE LET GOKUDERA DO SOMETHING AWESOME AND HAVE IT NOT BE COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT D:

XD I kinda fangirled at Kusakabe popping out of the manhole too. IT WAS SUCH A SURPRISE.

I keep running the nenenene nenene ~*BATMAN*~ song in my head except it becomes ~*KYOU-SAN*~ and sldghksadglk /blames you

FAIL BOSS! 8D
Maybe he has to know Romario is there or something XD

...is it...another base? @_@ did they forget?

Lol at everyone literally being caught with their pants down
/lols very hard
I applaud you, madam.

Doesn't Gokudera get to kill the flower guy? XD Though it'll be cool if he blew Zakuro up too...

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

It's really starting to get ridiculous. Every time he does get a moment, a few pages later it is proven useless. He's a main character, for cripe's sakes. I'M NOT ASKING FOR MUCH, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF UNTAINTED WIN. *cries moar*

MAYBE BUT I MEAN, HE WAS RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FREAKING STAIRS. And he seemed to get along perfectly well on the MYSTERY UNCHARTED ISLAND. Eh, I guess it's not a big deal. XD

I just don't even know. "We're completely safe in this compromised location!" WHATEVER.

Doesn't Gokudera get to kill the flower guy? XD Though it'll be cool if he blew Zakuro up too...

AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT GOKUDERA TO KILL THE NEAREST AVAILABLE TARGET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Kikyo is obviously the most preferable simply because he's such a bitch, but since Zakuro is CONVENIENTLY RIGHT THERE, and also has the bonus of being a Storm type who looks like Shamal, I'll settle for him. |D

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
XD Did Dino even do anything that would have triggered his klutziness? Come to think of it, good thing Mukuro butted in when Dino was about to try to fight Byakuran, he would have strangled himself...

UHHH...MAYBE SHOUICHI ERASED THE RECORDS OR SOMETHING, SINCE BYAKURAN DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ATTACK!...?! @A@ idek...

the bonus of being a Storm type who looks like Shamal
OHOHOHO, 8DD THIS MATCH NEEDS TO BE MADE XDD IT'S SO PERFECT.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I actually can't remember, I was too distracted by sharks and flying Yamamotos and so forth. XD Yeah, maybe Mukuro's timing wasn't as unfortunate as I initially thought. BARGING IN TO SAVE HIS SECRET LOVER

Hmm, was Shou the only one Glo told about the tracking device? But you know what, even if he did erase all the data about the base, and everyone who survived the Vongola raid on the Melone Base had no knowledge of the Vongola Base's location, I still wouldn't put it past Byakuran to know the location based on PARALLEL UNIVERSE KNOWLEDGE H4X. So really there was no excuse for them letting their guards down whatsoever. SHAME ON YOU MAFIA KIDS.

IT IS. THIS BETTER HAPPEN.

[identity profile] mikenno.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I DEMAND IT BE GOKUDERA FIGHTING HIM IF ONLY BECAUSE HE IS LIKE A SOBER, I THINK? MORE DIGNIFIED SHAMAL.

MMF.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
A SHAMAL WITH DIGNITY AND A STORM FLAME. CLEARLY IT IS FATE.

Yeah, I agree 100%. XD

[identity profile] creativexwonder.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I really want to cross out that -san and add -chan.

Kusukabe makes me lol so much 8'D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I totally did that mentally. HE ALREADY SHORTENS HIS FIRST NAME, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY CAN GET MUCH MORE FAMILIAR THAN THAT.

Same here. I'm so happy to see him again; I hope he gets to make lulzy commentary during the D18 battle. XD

[identity profile] creativexwonder.livejournal.com 2009-09-13 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
|D secretly they're doing it in the panels they aren't in.

I DO TOO. Kusukabe's amaazinggg 8'D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
LOL, well no wonder Kusakabe hasn't been around lately, then. He's been busy trying to bang Hibari while the all-knowing mangaka isn't looking. XD

He's the best. I want to see him take out a bad guy one day solely with the awesomeness of his hair. (Hey, it worked for Levi.)

[identity profile] creativexwonder.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yuuuup. Because that's how Kusukabe rolls. Doing it in surprise. (Even if Hibari wants it~ XD)

XD that would be awesome. Oh! Or for him to like stab someone with that stalk of wheat he always has in his mouth. (or lol, am I thinking about something else XD)

[identity profile] ekmisao.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Everything already said. Kusakabe's entrance is win.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
KUSAKABE IS THE FUCKING MAN. |D

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
It's starting to become really really sad that Gokudera just can't do anything right.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
What's really starting to get at me is that she keeps giving him these moments of almost-greatness--intercepting Kikyo during the Choice battle, using the C.A.I. shields a couple chapters ago, and now using the FUCKING SKULL MISSILE in this chapter--only to undermine them like a page or two later. If it's going to be like that, I'd almost rather he didn't do anything at all. Except that that isn't even remotely true. I still love his fleeting moment of badassery in this chapter even if it turned to fail on the next page. XD

SIGH. Oh well, I still love my fail right hand man.

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2009-09-12 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
At first he's all like "Wait, I'll fix it." and we're all "Yay!" but then what he does goes FAIL and we're all like "Why?!" DDD:

I love him too. Love them the most when they deserve it the least and all that jazz. :P

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-13 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
That last kitty sums up my feelings perfectly. XD

Yeah, I pretty much just want to cuddle him and pat his head reassuringly. And then smack him a little and tell him to go kick some ass already.

[identity profile] cobizah.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the birthday wishes! <3 I've got Gokudera's birthday, and, and he's my favourite character, and, I have a storm Vongola ring! *fangirls*

Ahem. Anyway. I kind of wish that whole "within one kilometre" thing would kick in. Cos, Dino's too cool for that stuff. =___=

And HELL TO THE YES, Systema CAI! My life is complete. And Uri isn't clawing Gokudera's eyes out. Yay?

...Wow. Now that you point it out, I see that Haru and Kyoko were in their underclothes. Lol. "Literally caught with their pants down" indeed.

And woohoo, Zakuro!!! He's the coolest! I'm keen for a storm on storm battle too, but Amano seems to be trying to mix up the attributes? :/

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-18 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU HAVE THE BEST BIRTHDAY. I AM JEALOUS LOL, but it sounds like you had a good time, so I'm glad. :D

Heh, I kinda like seeing him klutz out every now and then, just so long as it doesn't become a habit again. It was funny this chapter. XD

SEEING URI AND DERA GET ALONG FOR TWO SECONDS WAS WORTH ANY AND ALL FAILURE LATER ON IN THE CHAPTER. Sistema C.A.I. made me fangirl hard.

Zakuro has really great timing. XD

Yeah, Amano seems to be picking character battles at random, unfortunately. It's too bad, because Gokudera vs Zakuro really would have been a great match; oh well.

[identity profile] cobizah.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, Dino being klutzy is funny, but we're never really seen him fight properly. I mean, is he even badass??? It'd be hard to fight with a whip, I reckon! He should totally save Hibari after whoever Hiba meets whoops his ass. >33

Yay, Dera and Uri getting along~~~ <3 Cos before, she'd only intervene when he was, like, 99% dead. =___= Maybe they're friends now? I doubt it though, Amano likes being mean to Dera. Dx

And I was really looking forward to Gokudera vs. Zakuro too! And he totally does look like Shamal, haha. But someone earlier said "dignified" ..... Yeah no. Don't click if you haven't read the new chapter! D:

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
We did get to see him being a little awesome with his whip back when he first started to train Hibari, but I can't really think of any other occasions since. I'd like to see him show off again.

I like to think they're partners in battle and adversaries the rest of the time. Because I love seeing them work together to kick ass, but if Uri ever stops trying to claw Dera's face off during their downtime I'll be sad. XD

I HAVEN'T READ THE CHAPTER YET, I was just going to do that, actually. *HOLDS OFF ON CLICKING UNTIL THEN*

[identity profile] cobizah.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
At that stage in the manga, what with Hibari's CRAZY EVIL reputation, it was pretty kick ass. <3 Still, Dino's only box weapon is a horse.... Agreed, he should definitely show off. Show Hibari how much better than him he is. xD

True, it would be boring if they were bestest friends all the time. That seems to be how Dera relates to most people - gets on (just enough to not get killed) on the battlefield, then bitches and argues the rest of the time haha. Dera's so cool. ^_^
