YO KHR 258, I'M REAL HAPPY FOR YOU, IMMA LET YOU FINISH.

BUT BEYONCE HAD ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME.


1.
"How did you uncover our base?"

SERIOUSLY, GUYS? SERIOUSLY? ARE WE REALLY STILL HAVING THAT MENTAL BLOCK? Whatever.

Uni could stand to look a little more concerned in that top panel, I think. That's more of an "Oh balls, I got a C on my calculus exam, what will Mom and Dad think?" face than a "HOLY SHIT A CRAZY GUY JUST BLEW UP A WALL TO TRY AND KIDNAP ME, AND HE'S ON FIRE" face. And Haru and Kyoko look more sad than terrified. WHY IS FEARLESS LEADER TSUNA THE ONLY ONE WHO IS REACTING APPROPRIATELY?


2. Haha, I love how Yamamoto and Gokudera are all ready to bring the pain. If Squalo hadn't cockblocked them, that'd have been a sexy teamup. Probably a fatal teamup, judging by the events that follow, but still a sexy one.

Speaking of Squalo... oh my God my love for him just like. EXPLODED. HE TOTALLY DID THE WHOLE "YOU GUYS GET GOING, I'LL HOLD HIM OFF" ROUTINE, THAT JUST HAPPENED. Somehow I never in my wildest dreams expected to see this sort of cliched heroic behavior from Squalo of all people. AND I AM FREAKING LOVING IT OKAY. He's literally the only thing standing between them and oblivion. My God that hits my pings so hard, SQUALO PLEASE HAVE MY BABIES. *_*


3.
"I'll stay and fight too, Squalo!"
"The fuck you will!"

asdlfkj m-my heart. ;____; WHY DID HE HAVE TO GO ALL NOBLE ON US ALL OF A SUDDEN? AND TSUNA, WHAT THE HELL IS WITH YOUR RETARDED EXPRESSION IN THAT REACTION PANEL, YOU ARE RUINING THE MOMENT, FAILBOSS. AND SQUALO, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN, "QUIETLY", YOU COULDN'T DO ANYTHING QUIETLY TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.

Why is this manga so goddamn awesome?


4. I THINK LAMBO HAS THE SAME FASCINATION WITH THAT SHARK THAT I DO. XD

Also, I'm glad they remembered to get Shou and poor Lal. Thoughtful of them. XD


5. And once again, Giannini saves everyone's asses with science. Too bad he couldn't have invented these convenient little 7^3 bubble thingies a bit sooner. :P Ah, well, plot wouldn't have allowed it.

And it's good to see Reborn take his rightful place atop Yamamoto's shoulder again. It's been too long. (Either that or I just haven't been paying attention. XD)


6. Oh my God, Gokudera, THAT FACE. XDDDDD AND THE LIGHTBULB, I COULD PRACTICALLY HEAR THE "DING!!" OF REALIZATION IN MY HEAD AS I LOOKED AT IT. WHY IS HE SO FUCKING ADORABLE. I swear if I had been drinking anything at this late hour, my keyboard would have been ruined. MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IS A GIANT NERD.


7. HELL YES, HARU TO THE FUCKING RESCUE. 8D SHE'S FRIENDS WITH A REALTOR AND HAS A SECRET HIDEOUT HOME TO BE USED IN THE EVENT OF HER RUNNING AWAY. In Haruland I suppose there are any number of (doubtless romantic) events that could lead to a situation where that would come in handy. THIS GIRL IS ALWAYS PREPARED.

AND IT'S REBORN-APPROVED. WELL THAT DAMN WELL SETTLES IT.


8. AHHHHHHHHHH

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

D:

NO SQUALO NO YOU BRAVE FOOL. *SOBS*

ZAKURO YOU SON OF A BITCH. YOU TOOK HIS SWORD ARM, HIS SWORD ARM. THAT'S IT, DAMN IT. IT'S ON. THIS IS FUCKING PERSONAL NOW, SON.

oh my God I'm so sincerely distraught at this. aauuugh. :(


9. .........

If anyone says he's dead, I will cry. ;_; LALALA I'M IN DENIAL NOW.

It also breaks my heart that Yamamoto wanted to go back, because BAWW HE'S SO LOYAL BAWWWWW.


10. WHAT IN THE HELL.

Lol, wow, that's one hell of a cliffhanger. WHO IS THIS STRANGE RAMEN-ADDICTED REALTOR? WHY DOES HE SEEM TO RECOGNIZE TSUNA AND CO., AND HOW IS HE AWARE OF THEIR SITUATION? AND WILL HE REALLY BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THE SIX FUNERAL WREATHS? He's going to have to; as it stands, there's no way Tsuna or the others stand a chance against them, so it seems inevitable that we'll need yet another training arc or power-up quest or something before they actually take them on. ALL THIS AND MORE ON THE NEXT KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN!

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] caddles brings up the very good (and in retrospect, should-have-been-obvious) point that the ramen guy is almost certainly connected to TYL!I-Pin, since she worked at a ramen shop. THIS MAKES ME WANT THE NEXT CHAPTER EVEN MORE.


I think Amano must have tried writing a so-so chapter last week, weighed the pros and cons, and then decided, "Nah, I like being epic better." HOW SHE MANAGES TO PULL OFF THIS STUFF IS BEYOND ME.

I'm gonna go to bed. XD

DO IT. HE DESERVES HIS FATE.

SHE'S EVIL. SHE'S DIABOLICAL. I LOVE HER. :(

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Squalo's not dead.

NO ONE DIES IN REBORN. NO ONE IMPORTANT ANYONE.

Just remember that they'll go back in time and FIX IT ALL.

Also. Carrying Shouichi on a stretched through town is just... lol. I'm imagining what he's thinking as this happens. 'Huh, that cloud looks like Byakuran-san'.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
DAMN RIGHT HE'S NOT. NO ONE'S ALLOWED TO DIE BUT GENKISHI. :/

The problem is that even if they go back in time, I don't know that they'll actually be able to change anything. Because there are infinite parallel universes, that implies that when they go back to their own time, they'll start a new timeline where none of this crappy stuff ever happens. But that also means that Squalo and everyone else already in this timeline are pretty much stuck. Which means TYL!Yamamoto really got the short end of the stick. XD

IT IS FUNNY, now that you mention it. I picture him like, being jostled around as they run, thinking, "Fuck I hope they don't smack my head against anything. 8("

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
XDD Oh yeah. TYL!Yamamoto's going to come back and be like 'my dad's still dead, AND THEY KILLED MY BOYFRIEND?!?!?!'

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
THE HELL KIND OF KARMA DOES HE HAVE, ANYWAY. Everyone else is fine, even Tsuna, but noooo, Tsuyoshi and Squalo just had to kick the bucket. Except Squalo BETTER NOT HAVE. When TYL!Yama gets back, there is going to be rage the likes of which the world has never seen. The kind of rage they make MOVIES about, man. XD

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
XDD SRSLY. Tsuna was shot by a 'special bullet', Mukuro is not dead, and Tsuna's parents are presumably fine but off somewhere...

REBORN'LL STILL BE DEAD TOO? And Colonello's dead! So are the other arcos!

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
BUT REBORN WAS HIS SPECIAL SHOULDER-RIDIN' BUDDY. My God, he just can't get a break. HE AND LAL CAN FORM A LET'S-GET-OURSELVES-KILLED-IN-THE-NAME-OF-REVENGE CLUB.

Oh my god. Tsuna's face. BRB DYING FOREVER.

Gokudera's HAPPY FACE! is pretty amazing, too. He looks so...eager lmfao

I thought the ramen dude was Chikusa when I saw the raw...His haircut is kind of similar, so I was like "WTF Does Chikusa have to do with any of this? O_O" At least Amano does not ever forget any characters.....except Longchamp again 8|

BAWWWW SQUALO ; ;

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
HE'S LIKE INFLATED OR SOMETHING. WTF. XDDD

I swear, that is my new favorite Gokudera expression BY FAR. AND HE'S ALWAYS BEEN ONE TO MAKE REALLY AWESOME FACES. But Lightbulb! Face takes the cake. "TENTH I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU, IMMA GONNA LET YOU FINISH BUT THE HOSPITAL WAS ONE OF THE BEST HIDING PLACES OF ALL TIME."

He does look kinda like Chikusa, but also too interesting-looking to be Chikusa. (...sorry, Chikusa. No offense. XD) [livejournal.com profile] caddles suggested that he might be the ramen guy TYL!I-Pin is always making deliveries for, though, WHICH MAKES SO MUCH SENSE IT BLEW MY MIND. I so hope he's the ramen guy now. XD

SOB SOB SOB MY POOR SHARK. *pets him tearfully*

Everything you said, lol. Obviously I fangirl through other people. ^^;; [livejournal.com profile] leriko_rasen has been reprimanding all week for not fangirling as hard as I should.

THAT'S OKAY, I CAN FANGIRL HARD ENOUGH FOR SIXTEEN PEOPLE. Seventeen if I push it.

And this chapter was particularly easy to fangirl over, heh. :D

Bonus points for making two ridiculously opposite things relate to each other.

1. It's because Tsuna is the only one whose not on crack. I'm convinced that everyone else smokes a Pineapple Express off panel...

2. Squalo for President. He's so anti-hero that he could get away with a cliche hero move like that AND MAKE IT LOOK AWESOME!!!!!!

3. Why is this manga so goddamn awesome?

...................Pineapple Express......

4. OMG LAMBO UR SO DUMB THAT I LOVE YOU!!!!!! I get more of a kick outta the fact that Haru is the only one answering him.

5. Assassin BFF love yo'. Also Giannini is the man.

6. I KNO! THAT FACE WAS ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!! ICON STAT!!

7. In any other manga, that would have been an illegal move but since KHR is built on ridiculous antics and crack-smoking characters, it seems perfectly logical that Haru would happen to know of a person who could find them a place. BUT I'M HAPPY THAT IT'S HARU WHO KNOWS!!!!!!!!

8. Poor Squalo. I was more upset that Squalo's shark is all beat up too.

9. T_T

10. When I first saw him, I automatically thought "OMG IS THAT CHIKUSA!?!?!?!" but then reality hit.

I agree, he's going to have to save everyone's ass and lead us into yet another training arc......

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I AM PRO AT DOING THAT. If not always logically. XD

1. Yeah, Tsuna is the lone island of sanity in an ocean of shounen crack. Everyone else is like, "Mmm, it's Zakuro :(" and he's like, "HOLY SHIT D: D: D:" I love Tsuna so much because he does what I would do.

2. Yeah, he made it look good. Poor Dino from a few chapters earlier got totally outclassed. XD

4. SALMOOOOOON

6. IF I DON'T SEE ANY ICONS FLOATING ON THE COMM SOON I'LL HAVE TO TRY MY HAND AT IT. And I SUCK at iconning, so that should say a lot about how much I love that face.

7. I love that it's Haru who knows. FOR ONCE ONE OF THE GIRLS GETS TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE. And it's such a Haru thing to do, totally in character. As far as plot twists go, that was one of my favorites in a while.

8. I mourned for the shark, but apparently I didn't realize how much I love Squalo until the instant I saw him crouched there bloodied, armless, and swordless. MY HEART INSTANTLY DESPAIRED. The poor shark was all but forgotten in my tears. ;_____;

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
1 @_@

I love how Yamamoto and Gokudera are all ready to bring the pain.
!!!! THE RETURN OF GOKUDERA'S THUG FACE 8DDD I LOVED THAT PANEL AND STARED AT IT LIKE '83'
AND SQUALO WAS SO COOL THERE HOMG /keels

"The fuck you will!"
so much love. Oh my salmon.

number 7 XDD OH MY GOD REBORN-APPROVED REMINDS ME OF PEDOBEAR. SHIT. It doesn't help this is all in context to a man telling a young girl about a secret hiding place 'only we will know about B333'

...He's motherfucking Squalo. Remember that. Also this is Reborn.

THAT REALTOR IS. REALLY INTERESTING. I think I'll like him. XD But wtf, DID NOT EXPECT NEW CHARACTER.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHA YES, THE THUG FACE. "DOES GOKUDERA NEED TO KILL A BITCH...?" THAT WAS GREAT TO SEE AGAIN.

REBORN-APPROVED MIGHT AS WELL BE PEDOBEAR-APPROVED. HOW OLD WAS BIANCHI WHEN HE STARTED DATING HER, ANYWAY?

Squalo. ;_; BUT THEY KILLED GENKISHI AND YAMAMOTO'S DAD, IT SEEMS LIKE SWORDSMEN ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE NOT IMMUNE TO DEATH IN THIS SERIES.

...Though Squalo did survive being eaten by a fucking shark, so all things considered, fuck that explosion. What does it even know. DINO WILL PROBABLY SAVE HIM. I hope. XDD

I'm liking him so far, too. BIT OF A WEIRD POINT TO INTRODUCE A NEW CHARACTER, but hey, Amano clearly likes to keep us on our toes.

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
HOW OLD WAS BIANCHI WHEN HE STARTED DATING HER, ANYWAY?
I...DON'T KNOW! I figured it would have been over eighteen. Wait, how old is Bianchi? XD it's like reverse now...Reborn being an infant and all

THE REALTOR LOOKS KINDA LIKE GENKISHI DOES HE NOT O_O

DINO WILL PROBABLY SAVE HIM.
IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL. I DON'T KNOW. LOLL AND FANGIRL AND SQUEE AND LOL FOREVER. 8DDDDDDD

XD yeah, she does...and I agree with NOT ANOTHER TRAINING ARC PLEASE.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
ACCORDING TO THIS SHE'S ONLY FREAKING SEVENTEEN NOW, WTF. AND EVEN THOUGH HE'S TINY AND ADORABLE NOW, I CAN NEVER QUITE FORGET THAT UNDERNEATH THAT CUTE ARCOBALENO FORM LURKS THIS SEXY BASTARD. Yeah... I'm gonna call pedo on this one. XD

...Kinda. HIS CHARACTER DESIGN LIVES ON IN THIS NEW DUDE.

I'm totally rooting for that now. And even if it doesn't happen, somewhere down the line there had better be some DS hurt/comfort fic pretending that it did. XD

At least the last training arc was abbreviated, so even if we have to go through yet another one, it hopefully won't last too long. Though I'll be really fucking disappointed we didn't get to see Lambo and Ryohei fight after the last training bout.

I'm very surprised right now can you tell

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
FUCK THE WHAT WAAAAAT ASFLKHSDG OH MY GOD I mean it not a BAD thing but. 17. Bianchi. Really? @_@ I thought she was like Squalo and Dino's age or something I DON'T KNOW WHY. I never really thought of it aflkhsdg

somewhere down the line there had better be some DS hurt/comfort fic pretending that it did.
if I write it it will be so self-indulgent that I'll have to like. Filter myself.
Though taking this route with 80S is also *w* uhuhuhuhuhu~

[identity profile] caddles.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol I don't have much to say, I already ranted about this chapter in my own journal. BUT -

I was actually distressed by this chapter. Squalo has pushed his way up to become one of my very special favourites - if he dies, I will cry so much, I swear! >__<

Oh - and mysterious ramen seller man is connected to I-Pin! She mentions him when she comes to the past as TYL I-Pin!



[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone keeps saying that he won't die because this is Reborn, but. It doesn't stop me from worrying anyway. I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE. I'm more worried about him than I was about Irie. Somehow the potential death of a character as "VOIIIIIIIIII" as Squalo just seems to be a particularly devastating blow. He's too Squalo to die. ;_;

And HOLY SHIT I can't believe I didn't make that connection before. YOU ARE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT, I'm sure of it. He's gotta be I-Pin's boss. MANY I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER NOW.

[identity profile] caddles.livejournal.com 2009-09-24 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that he might die, actually... I mean, if he's TYL they can always bring him back to life by changing the future. |D Poor Yama if he does die though, losing his kick-ass tutor and his Dad all in one future. ):

LOL I SURE AM. Now I'm hella excited for the next chapter - considering we're going to figure out why I-Pin's ramen man is really smart about everything that's happening. ... Er, hopefully.

... I'M STILL WAITING FOR YOU GAMMA.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
But the thing is, they can't change this future--or at least, not if they keep playing by the rules Amano's already set up. It's already been established that the Reborn universe has multiple timelines, so even if they do defeat Byakuran in this time, they can't actually undo anything that's already happened. When they go back to their time, they'll be starting a brand new timeline. But there's nothing they can actually do to restore the current timeline more than they already have (which is why the revelation that TYL!Tsuna is still alive is such a huge relief). They can save the lives of the Arcobaleno and Yamamoto's dad in their time, but this future will become a parallel universe as soon as they go back. (Again, assuming Amano doesn't change the rules on us, which she might decide to do, but hey. XD)

...so Squalo had better not die or TYL!Yama will have lost his dad, his mentor, AND his swordrival/friend. THAT'S JUST TOO HORRIBLE. ;_;

And yeah, I can't wait to see how he's connected to all of them. HE KNOWS THINGS!! And he can apparently protect them all from the six FWs; I gotta know what that's all about.

I AM TOO. WHERE THE FUCK IS HE, HIS PRINCESS IS IN DANGER.

[identity profile] caddles.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
Bah - that actually makes sense. But no, that possibly can't happen. There must be some sort of loop hole that they can somehow defeat! Squalo is ... just too cool to kill off this way. I mean, he totally underestimated his opponent; either that, or he knew that he was dead from the start and simply put a loud brave face on. Actually, considering Squalo's character, it was probably the second option, he's not stupid. Xanxus will throw a bitch fit if his second in command sexier-than-thou is killed off. |:

BAH. POOR YAMAMOTO. HE WOULD BE REALLY SADDENED BY ALL THAT. ):

He knows things - and he can DO THINGS. Holy crap! He's a freakin' badass! I really want to know how important he's going to end up being...

SAVE HER GAMMA, SAVE HER. I BET HE'S GOING TO COME IN WHEN IT'S NEARLY TOO LATE.

[identity profile] cobizah.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I totally didn't realise who the ramen guy was until [livejournal.com profile] caddles told me. ^_^;;

But HOOOOOLY CRAP
SQUALO
SQUALO
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! ;______;

He's dead.... you know he is, because he's TYL, and Amano needs to kill off a main-but-not-too-main character.... This sucks so bad! At least (?) it was already his artficial arm....Though a few more inches got ripped off, by the looks of things.

Oh Zakuro. Why did you have to do that...? T___T You were so cool....

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't either. XD Haha, I can't believe I missed that, but [livejournal.com profile] caddles was definitely right on the money. :D

I'M STILL TRAUMATIZED. SQUALOOOOOOO NO DON'T LEAVE US.

DON'T SAY THAT he's not dead, damn it. A SHARK ATE HIM AND HE WAS STILL ALIVE. Dino's still out there with Hibari, maybe he'll swing by to rescue him again. Or something. AUGH I JUST CAN'T ACCEPT IT YET. And yeah, it was the hand he'd already chopped off once, but Zakuro practically took the whole arm off this time around. That was just cruel.

YEAH, ZAKURO, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? YOU USED TO BE COOL, MAN. :|

[identity profile] cobizah.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Squalo is so ridiculously cool.... T_______T Man, I'm depressed just thinking about it.... It's not his whole arm, right? RIGHT?!? *double checks* Elbow-ish? DDDx WHY ZAKURO WHYYYYYYYYY??!?

I kind of want Dino and Hibari to do an EPIC team up of doom. I mean, they would kick ass. And Dino would renew my faith in him by being cool. Do it, Amano-sensei, dooo iiiiiit...
