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

[makeste]

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: 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

THAT'S IT ZAKURO. IMMA WRITING YOU IN THE DEATH NOTE

DUDE AMANO

DUDE

How can you DO THIS TO US.

*HEADSLAM FOREVER*

[kat8cha.livejournal.com]

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'.

[rikasaurus.livejournal.com]

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 ; ;

[ekmisao.livejournal.com]

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

[charpieinuse.livejournal.com]

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......

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.

[caddles.livejournal.com]

_{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!

[cobizah.livejournal.com]

I totally didn't realise who the ramen guy was until 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....

NO AMOUNT OF KEYBOARDSMASHING CAN EXPRESS HOW BAW THIS CHAPTER MAKES ME.

Join me in the hut of denial?
