Oh, Reborn.

Sometimes... there are just no words.

1. My, Tsuna, don't you just look particularly badass today. I APPROVE. And I swear, Amano is easily my favorite mangaka when it comes to color pages. I don't know what it is about her coloring, but her pages always look fantastic. A+.

Speaking of color pages, let me make some observations about that awesome two-page spread:

Vying for the title of MOST ADORABLE: Tsuna, Uni and Spanner. And also Giannini. Look at him, standing there with that derpy face next to Kyoko's butt. Awwww.
And in the category of MOST HILARIOUS, we've got Ryohei, Romario (WHAT THE HELL IS THAT POSE) and Shouichi, who appears to be dangling from a fishhook. I cracked up at Shou probably longer than I should have.
Are Nosaru and Tazaru's romanized names really "NSR" and "TZR"?? Seriously? If so, are they abbreviations, or acronyms? I will give a million dollars to the person who comes up with the best Nosaru and Tazaru acronyms.*
Hibari almost looks like Haru. I loled. XD
Speaking of guys who look like girls, ALL OF THE VARIA LOOK FEMININE. ALL OF THEM. IS THAT REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE XANXUS. HOLY SHIT.
I want Gokudera's hoodie so fucking bad.

* I actually won't.

2. I don't know about anyone else, but to me, this page clearly indicates that Uni, Kyoko and Tsuna have all developed spontaneous crushes on Kawahira. (As well they should.) I note that Gokudera appears to be quite jealous in the background. And Yamamoto is totally amused, of course.

Also, "BY THE WAY, BYAKURAN IS A VERY HORRIBLE MAN" = Most obvious statement of the goddamn millennium. WHICH MEANS IT IS INSTANTLY MY NEW FAVORITE QUOTE IN REBORN.

3. ...

Well, there goes my appetite for the next... ever. Man, Daisy, you are like... the opposite of attractive. WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!

Also, I like how Romario saw there was a lack of Basil, and took it upon himself to fill that necessary position. You're a good man, Romario. A good man.

4. I can't decide if this is incredibly badass, or incredibly gay. XD IT'S A FUCKING FLYING HORSE WITH FLAMING WINGS... AND YET. THERE'S SOMETHING SUSPICIOUSLY FABULOUS ABOUT IT.

5. --never mind, I think Dino made that decision for us.

"Don't hate me for it." ...Yeah. I'm gonna have to go with gay on this one.

6. AHHH AHHH AHHHH DINOPONY IS BEING STRANGLED BY DAISY'S ZOMBIE ARM AHHHHH.

Oh my God. Too bad Squalo's arm couldn't do that, though.

7. HOLY SHIT

BYAKURAN YOU CHEATING SON OF A CHEATING BITCH.

I think this pretty much confirms the real reason why TYL!Tsuna brought the younger Vongola to the future to fight. It seems like Byakuran knows the ins and outs of all of the TYL kids' techniques already. Makes sense, I guess. Although THIS REALLY SUCKS, first Squalo and now Dino. D: ~~WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS. I VOTE FOR SHAMAL.~~

8. FUCK YEAH. I was waiting for Amano to remember Hibari was there. XD

Also, the line "Hey, bitches," might just single-handedly make up for EVERY TRANSLATION ERROR INP HAS EVER MADE. And then some. (Unless he really is saying, "Hey, bitches"... but surely that can't actually be true. Right? Can magic truly happen?)

9. Ooh la la, we finally get to see the first Cloud Guardian. :D Unsurprisingly, he looks exactly like Hibari. Somewhat more surprisingly, HE WAS A SPY. How cool is that? \o/

10. Aaaaand, presenting Hibari Kyoya's Vongola box weapon... HANDCUFFS. Yes, that really happened. And I am dying to see how he'll actually fight with those, because LOL.

So, allow me to recap. This chapter features a flaming pony, Tsuna crushing on Kawahira, Hibari pimpslapping Daisy and calling him his bitch, and LEGENDARY VONGOLA HANDCUFFS.

Basically, this chapter is gayer than... something really, really gay. XD

_{Dino can't die! DX If he does - asdfghjkl - we can't lose two awesome TYL d00ds!}

1. Is it very very sad that I mistook Squalo for Bianchi the first time I glanced at that? I also thought that Bel was the Vongola Primo. They kind of look the same! >__<

Xanxus is so girly... seriously. AH! And she put Lanchia in there! I thought she had forgotten about him; he's like one of my favourite characters!

2. Of course they have. Gokudera's iamnotimpressed look in the background made my day.

I nearly cried laughing at that statement. WELCOME TO THE 'LET'S HATE BYAKURAN' PARTY KAWAHIRA. YOU'RE ABOUT - A YEAR TOO LATE.

4. I think it's strangely appropriate for the Dinopony to have wings. |D I mean, everything seems to be able to fly in this series.

Oh, and is the pony's name Skudelia? Or was that an attack that Dino was using back in the last chapter?

5. Shine on, you terrifically gay pony, you.

6. (Why can I imagine Squalo's arm doing just that? Hopefully he gained the upper HAND (hahaah) in battle!)

7. AS I SAID BEFORE - DINO HAD BETTER BE OKAY. I'm sure Hibari wouldn't allow another one of his 'bitches' - snigger - to get hurt. Though he must have a life-time supply of those.

Sort of sucks that Dino got into the ring and then got kicked straight back out again. ): I wanted to see him fight more.

8. I love how he just storms in - "Hey, bitches" - and KICKS Dino out of the way. Hibari truly has gone ghetto.

This line actually made my day. I swear.

10. Amano, you truly are too good to us. We don't deserve an awesome mangaka like you. (:

I mean, this possibly makes Hibari into some sort of gay policeman, but now WE KNOW WHAT HE DOES WITH DINO FOR SURE.

... I can't wait for the next chapter.

1. I SWEAR SQUALO LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE BIANCHI. And then I was confused and was like "....why would Bianchi be next to XANXUS? O_O"

lol Gianini does actually look cute, though XD

2. I'm now waiting on the horde of Kawahira <-- Tsuna/Kyoko/Uni fan art.

3. Daisy wat I don't even-- The whole regeneration thing has PICCOLO written all over it.
5. Good lord I swear Dino looks weirder and girlier every time Amano draws him ; ;

8. Okay I LOL'D HARD at Hibari saying "Hey bitches". That has to be the best translation error ever XD I...I think I forgive INP, too.

9. Part of me wishes that Amano would make the first guardians look next to nothing like the current guardians. It would seem less predictable...although the Cloud and Rain guardians are still lookers, anyway lol

10. HANDCUFFS. I SERIOUSLY WONDER HOW YOU FIGHT WITH....HANDCUFFS. It makes no sense XDDD I just see Hibari either relentlessly wacking Daisy with them or just throwing them instead....Oh well, we'll see next week.

This chapter was incredibly gay on so many levels now that I think about it, too XD

I think this pretty much confirms the real reason why TYL!Tsuna brought the younger Vongola to the future to fight. It seems like Byakuran knows the ins and outs of all of the TYL kids' techniques already.

Yeah, every time I think "Oh, Amano's just winging it" she pulls something like this.

And us not knowing the status of the boisterous Varia storm man, which makes me worry. ^^;;

IEM confirms no bitching or pimpslapping was done. ^^;; That's the version I read, and I guess I should be glad. The clean is also better there.

Yeah. YEAH. Byakuran you fucking Dick. D: Killed alternate Dino and then GAVE EVERYONE HIS SECRETS.

...um.

...he does, actually.

WELL. He says 'ne, kimitara' which... well. Kimi isn't as bad as 'omae' but then the 'tara' is supposed to mean, like, exasperation. So it's not REALLY 'hey bitches'...

I suspect she's writing CLAMP-style, that she's partly winging it but there is a long plan to all of this madness.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S OFF THE HOOK FOR NOW, but ever since Squalo's d...isappearance from the manga XD I have been unreasonably paranoid.

1. I don't blame you at all, it was really hard to tell some of the characters apart, particularly on One Manga. That's why I went and downloaded the RAW to get a better look. XD

...Lancia is there? I've looked like five times and I can't spot him. XD I miss him too.

2. I love Gokudera's expression so much. It's like, "Really, guys, get a grip."

BUT IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO JOIN THE "BYAKURAN SUCKS" BANDWAGON.

4. Yeah, I can't say it seemed out of place. Just not very heterosexual. :P

As for the name, I can't tell. I need to read a better translation than INP's. XD

6. And since Squalo's arm still had his sword attached, it would have been even more epic.

8. "YOU'RE MY BITCH"--*BACKHAND*--"AND YOU'RE MY BITCH"--*KICK*. I wanted to applaud. I'm sorry, Dino.

YES, PLZ TO BE BRINGING THE NEXT CHAPTER TO US SOON AMANO. <3

1. Haha, they're like mirror images of each other. GOKUDERA DO YOU HAVE A THIRD SIBLING YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF??

He's adorable. Just kind of like, "Hey guys. :)"

2. Two chapters in and the guy already has a canon fanclub. Now that's really something.

3. HE TURNED INTO THE SWAMP THING. D8

5. There were a few panels where I couldn't even tell it was him at first, honestly. His hair kept changing. XD DINO MAKE UP YOUR MIND. It was like he couldn't quite decide how pretty he wanted to be.

8. Really. As far as I'm concerned, they can Yuni all they want from now on.

9. Yeah, it's pretty cliched, but oh well. I like to think that maybe they're the first guardians reincarnated or something. At least then there would be an explanation for it.

10. I DON'T EVEN KNOW. But we're going to find out. 8D

It seems like she has a general outline of "THIS IS HAPPENING FOR THIS REASON", but she is just winging it when it comes to a lot of the smaller details. Like

ekmisao said, there is a grand master plan, but Amano is free to maneuver the characters toward it week-to-week in the craziest way possible. XD

I know, two weeks now and still no word on Squalo. She does like to torture us. :/

I'm definitely gonna go read the IEM version, then; there were a few translations here that I couldn't understand very well at all, and the cleaning definitely left much to be desired. BUT THAT "HEY BITCHES"... I will never forget that. Canon or not, it was epic.

Oh fuck, I didn't even think about following that "He already fought against me in another parallel world" line to its logical conclusion. HE KILLED ALTERNATE DINO. Somehow even though I already knew he'd destroyed the mafia and taken over the world in billions of universes, thinking about that one Dino he must have killed to learn about that technique makes me sad.

Yeah, I figured he was referring to them by some particularly derogatory term, I just did not expect that term to be the Japanese equivalent of "bitches." ...Okay, I'm starting to crack up again now. XDDDD

It's more like a relatively rude but not REALLY rude 'HEY YOU'.

:( ... dammit my brain just said 'well maybe he kept one of the DIno's as a pet'.

You know there's an Alternate!Kuran with a harem.

_{(... H-hey, I got the first comment. For some reason, I feel kind of pleased. |D )

LOL - same here though. I'm like, "If she k...nocked Squalo out haha, she could knock anybody out!!"}

1. (Yeah, find Mukuro and then go right. He's right at Uni's feet. (: ) I've missed Lanchia! (Which IS spelt without a 'h'. Huh, didn't know that.) I want to know what happened to that ring that he gave Tsuna before him and Basil~~icum - srsly, is that his entire name??~~ went back to Italy... I mean, is he gonna use it?

2. Hahaha, poor Gokudera. He's constantly surrounded by baseball idiots, and idiots falling for older ramen men. |D

INDEED. JUMP ABOARD, KAWAHIRA. (Who is obviously Captain Obvious in disguise.)

4. There are a lot of things that are not very heterosexual about this manga. e.g: Gokudera.

8. HAHAHA - watch out guys! Hibari is bitchin'! I'd love to see how the rest of the Vongola would react to this statement. I bet they're all really his bitches, including Tsuna. (:

FIIIIIIIRST \o/

NO ONE IS SAFE. D: ~~Also, I LOLed.~~

1. Oh, duh, I don't know how I missed him before. XD And the spelling can go either way, really; it just depends on how you want to romanize it. I want to know about that ring, too; it's like the one Future Arc plot thread that Amano hasn't explained yet. There has to be something to it. ~~And lol, yeah, that is his name. I'd completely forgotten.~~

2. And on top of that, even THE TENTH is falling for Kawahira's rogueish charms.

THERE'S ROOM FOR ALL. (I wonder what insight he'll treat us to next week. "The sky is blue"? Or "Squalo is loud", perhaps?)

4. It is true that KHR has never been a paragon of straight.

8. Oh, you bet they are. XD

Heh, I remember all those different Japanese ways of addressing someone. It's surprising how many different ways translators will interpret the ruder "you"s.

HAHA I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST HIM, OH GOD. Man, that's so fucked up, and yet... we're talking about infinite universes here. There probably really is a harem, and it probably does have a Dino. XD

Ooooooooooooi, who wouldn't want Dino in their harem? Plus he's got all the Vongola in there anyway, plus most of the Giglio Nero.

Also, brain is making bad puns about 'stables' and imagining Dino as a pony boy.

1. That's one of the reasons I love Amano. Besides the fact that she bitchslap everyone who doubts Tsuna tops.
* I had to double check and almost go blind when I saw the tag of Xanxus name, because lolololol girly.

4. I can't decide if this is incredibly badass, or incredibly gay.
I SAY BOTH!

7. I VOTE FOR LONGCHAMP.

8. Also, the line "Hey, bitches," might just single-handedly make up for EVERY TRANSLATION ERROR INP HAS EVER MADE.
Lol, I actually made a post saying I would forget all about INP translation and wait for the IEM one.

9. And somewhat they all end up being offspring of the first guardians.

10. Being Hibari, he would probably trow it at Daisy like some sort of boomerang XDDDD

I end up lol-ing more at your recaps than those on capslock_khr.

1. Since Gamma's name really is just the greek letter for gamma in that spread, it makes me wonder if NSR and TZR are actually acronyms that mean something and there is a theme or pattern I'm just not seeing.

Also Xanxus and Squalo are very pretty, and I am throwing my hat in the "Thought Squalo was Bianchi at first" ring.

With the occasional getting totally drunk and pulling plot twists out of a hat?

This is simply a "just so you know"-type of thing, but if Lancia's name was spelled Lanchia, I'd read it as "Lankia", much in the same way I read Bianchi as "Bianki" and according to wikipedia (lol) Lancia's name is spelled "ランチア" in katakana rather than "ランキア" which implies that a soft c is wanted, whereas Bianchi is spelled "ビアンキ" implying the "k" sound. In Italian, C+H=K, C+C+H=K, C+A/O/U=K, C+I/E= a soft C sound, almost like the ch in chivalry. And they are Italians, so their names should follow Italian pronunciation rules. *nods*

Unnecessary extra info: Bianchi is technically the plural masculine form of "white", where as the singular masculine form is bianco. I do believe Amano should have gone with Bianca since that is the singular feminine form (plural being bianche). But hey, I've gotten used to Bianchi and wouldn't change it for the world.

Uhm... Sorry. *wince*

Sorry the HEY BITCHES thing killed my brain. If 18 really said that, IDK if I lose all respect or gain a whole new perspective on him, really Amano wtf???

Isn't it great? /sarcasm D: We've 3 18s in the series now (fon, 18, 1st cloud)

I'm really sick of fail!Dino (same goes for fail!59) but 18 kicking Dino out of the way made me so happy IDEK why.

I AM FINALLY READING THIS CHAPTER AND AM CURRENTLY LOL'ING AT THE TWO-PAGE SPREAD. LOOKIN' MIGHTY GAY THERE. VARIA. ♥

Rain man, I'm sorry, the rain man. For that matter I haven't seen Bel in ages.

Cnet's version of that section is even more polite, lol!

I also thought Squalo was Bianchi X_X
XD AND I NEVER NOTICED HOW FUNNY ROMARIO LOOKED ALKFDHDSG
GAMMA IS RIGHT BEHIND UNI AWWWW *w*
NSR= No Sibling Reserve
TZR= Terrifically Zonked Raccoon or The Zapanesed Rapper ~~Looking Dude~~

BYAKURAN IS A VERY HORRIBLE MAN
XD What a wonderful way to put it. I love Kawahira.

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!
SCIENCE IS INNOCENT! IT'S WHAT IT DOES WHEN BYAKURAN RAPES CHRONOLOGY AND PILFERS IT

IDK WHY BUT I CAN'T TAKE THE PONY SERIOUSLY SLFKHSDG I JUST LOLED WHENEVER IT SHOWED UP D:

XDD just. L.M.F.A.O. at "Don't hate me ~~because I'm beautiful~~ for it."

But then Byakuran brought them to the future knowing this? @_@ talk about confidence.
XD then again, did he know that Uni would turn? fufu~

asfDSLKGDSKL OH MY GOD HIBARI XDDD MAGIC CAN REALLY HAPPEN! HEY BITCHES SHOULD BE ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU THINK IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE AND TURN OUT TO BE TRUE ~~if those exist~~ I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THOUGH OH MY GOD PLEEEEASE LET PIMPBARI BE CANON SFLKHSD

I still can't believe the handcuffs. But it's right there. And. SO IS FIRST GEN CLOUD ASFKDASGLK ~~HE LOOKS LIKE A D18 LOVECHILD, I WONDER WHAT COLOR HIS HAIR IS...when is the next time a colored page will come out 8DD~~

Basically, this chapter is gayer than... something really, really gay.
LMAOLMAO XD TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SAID XDDD

Yeah, the girl can draw, no doubt about that. And I know, never in my life did I ever think I'd see such a girlish-looking Xanxus. He's usually one of the manlier characters (not that, in this series, that's saying much XD).

BOTH WORKS.

MAN IF LONGCHAMP SHOWS UP TO SAVE THE DAY, I WILL JUST. START LOLING AND NEVER, EVER STOP.

Probably a wise decision. Aside from the "Hey, bitches," there was nothing much worth seeing in INP's version, and a lot of problems to boot. (But still, HEY BITCHES was epic.)

If that turns out to be the case I'll actually be disappointed, and I forgive this series for A LOT OF THINGS. But please don't go with the oh-too-cheesy descendents-of-the-first-generation route, Amano. XD (Reincarnation is acceptable, though.)

Hahaha, now I have the mental image--Daisy being KOed by the handcuffs as Hibari flings them at him. XDDD

Lol, really? I'm flattered. XD (I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD BE, BUT I AM. XDD)

Oh yeah, I forgot that Gamma's name literally is "Gamma." Maybe you're on to something. But I can't figure it out either. XD

Seriously, all of the Varia have embraced their inner womanhood in this pic.

IT'S POSSIBLE TO LOL AND BE IMPRESSED. That was my reaction, anyway. XD I was like, "Oh my God Hibari did you really just go there," but also just kind of like, "...damn."

Oh man, I forgot about Fon, you're right. SHE SURE DOES LIKE TO DRAW THAT FACE. Now I'm starting to wonder at strange theories involving clones...

It's because failure is totally acceptable if Hibari is the one kicking your ass.

EVERYONE IS SO PRETTY, BUT THEY REALLY TAKE THE CAKE. |D

NOW I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF THEY'RE RELATED, BECAUSE GEEZ.
DOESN'T HE? HIS FACE LOOKS SO STERN FOR SOME REASON.
HE LURVES HER. ♥
...and oh my God SO MANY LOLS. TERRIFICALLY ZONKED RACCOON.

I'm seriously temped to change my Byakuran tag, because I really, really love that quote a lot. XD

IT'S STILL SCIENCE. BYAKURAN JUST FUCKED WITH IT.

HAHA I CAN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY EITHER. I MEAN... IT'S A PONY. I CAN'T REALLY RESPECT A FIGHTING PONY.

Dino is just... yeah. The way he was smirking with his big shoujo eyes and his hair flowing in the wind... XDDDD

Well, Byakuran brought them to the future because he needed the rings. I guess the whole "don't actually know how this will affect their ability to fight back since I can't predict them" thing was a risk he was willing to take.

kat8cha SAYS HE ACTUALLY MAYBE SAID IT. I'M STILL A LITTLE SKEPTICAL BUT I WANT TO BELIIEEEEVEEE.

I KNOW, REAL LIVE CRACK IS REALLY HAPPENING~. XD ~~I bet Amano will do a color page of the first gen guardians once we finally see them all. So two down, four to go.~~

I'M SO GOOD AT DESCRIBING THINGS. XD

Heh, yeah, I figured as much. And yeah, Squalo's the only Varia who's actually made an appearance since the fight in Italy; I wonder if any of the others secretly came to Japan too. Not getting my hopes up, but I'd love to see a proper team-up between them and the Vongola.

And I just read Cnett's translation and cracked up. "Now, now, people..." He sounds more like a schoolteacher admonishing his classroom. XD (But then again, I suppose that's almost fitting, considering he's bitching at them for tearing up the school grounds...)

THIS WASN'T ADDRESSED TOWARD ME I DON'T THINK (??), but I enjoyed it all the same. ♥ I'd already known that about the Japanese pronunciations, but not about the Italian pronunciation rules, so this was actually very interesting. Thanks for the info. :D

IT WAS A BIT TO BOTH OF YOU, BUT FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. ♥ For

caddles because I felt like I should explain why Lancia is spelled without an H, and for you since you said that the spelling could go either way. ~~And since I'm a total language nerd who has studied Italian, pronounciation, grammar and spelling is serious business to me.~~ XD

You're welcome~ ♥ I'm happy to share my extensive knwoledge. :P

You're not the only one wondering about strange theories,

runesque started me imagining about worlds and AU relationships ;D

Well, if you think about it, Amano has basically given us a never-ending playground worth of theory fodder. INFINITE AUS ALL CONNECTED BETWEEN BYAKURAN AND UNI... there's so much that could be done with that. I barely even know where to start. 8D

EXACTLY.

My mind just exploded from the wisdom-osity of that post. <3

Thanks for that! It's interesting to read about... I don't know anything about Italian pronunciation (though I want to learn) at all, so thanks!

I'm always happy to share knowledge, what would the world be if we didn't? :D

I studied Italian for three years, if I didn't know the pronounciation rules (which is among the first things we had to learn), I'd be an awful student. xD

I'm glad you found it interesting. <3
