What, no color pages?

WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT.


1. Wow, Uni's visions are so epic and predestined and kind of useless. XDD "I FORESAW US ALL CHILLING OUT IN THESE WOODS HERE, AND THAT THE YANKEES WOULD TAKE IT IN SIX, BUT I'M DRAWING A BLANK ON THE MOST IMPORTANT BATTLE OF OUR TIME. SORRY." Well, that's not convenient.


2. Whoa, wait. What? If you kill one Byakuran, you kill them all? Holy shit, even with all his kooky magic powers, how the hell has he lived this long? You would think that in SOME universe, SOMEWHERE, SOMETHING would have gone wrong. Like he's hit by a car or killed by ninjas or something. He is one lucky bastard.


3. Oh man, I am LOLing all over this page. XD "AHH WHAT THERE'S NO TIME!" "No, really, you just realized that now?" "FUCK YOU TENTH IS JUST BEING STRAIGHTFORWARD!" Say what you will about Amano, but she comes through with the humor.

Tsuna actually has a good point, though. Once again, I would like to remind those playing at home that Mukuro and co. are still a good fifteen hours away at the very least, unless they finally discovered transporter technology over the past ten years. Or Amano decides to ignore pesky details like "travel time." BUT THAT WOULD SURELY NEVER HAPPEN.


4. Wait, what the hell? SHOUICHI ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? GOKUDERA CAN STILL FIGHT. NOT ONLY CAN HE FIGHT, HE ABSOLUTELY WILL FIGHT, AND RYOHEI TOO. AMANO IS NOT CHEATING ME OUT OF THIS.

:|


5. NOT THAT I CAN BE PACIFIED SO EASILY, but this inter-box combination launch system sounds kind of cool. Synchronized box attack!

Though it is weirding me out a little to see Gamma, Shou, and Basil talking about the box weapons like they're mass manufactured. "Whose Delfino di Pioggia was that?" "Oh, it was mine." "Well did you know version 2.0 has this feature?" "Oh yeah, I remember reading that in the manual." It's WEIRD--I mean, they're animals, not iPods. XD


6. HOT DAMN IT'S A POKEMON PARTY~ I cannot freaking wait to see these adorable creatures wreak havoc. |D

Also, my fondness for Nuts (though that really is quite an awkward name) just shot up like whoa. HE'S SO CUTE, THE LITTLE WUSS. <3 And he looks so much like Lambo in some of those panels that I half-expected him to shoot himself with the ten-year bazooka. NO WONDER URI MADE HIM HIS BITCH.

Oh no, Shou, Tsuna has a few scratches now, that must mean he can't fight. :|


7. God damn it, I knew Byakuran would have absolutely no trouble whatsoever finding them. And now off they go, all confident and bloodthirsty. It's a damn good thing they're walking into an obvious, obvious trap.


8. OMFG YES

THERE IS SO MUCH ABOUT THIS PAGE I LOVE, DESPITE THE ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH LIKELIHOOD THAT IT WILL ALL BE PROVEN USELESS AS SOON AS I CLICK TO THE NEXT PAGE. I'M JUST GOING TO STARE AT IT LOVINGLY FOR A MINUTE.


9. Sob. But we'll always have the memories, page 16. ;_; WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE THE MEMORIES.

In the meantime, I'll just pretend that some of Zakuro's trifling injuries were at least caused by Dera in spite of the fact that they were clearly inflicted by Lal's freakish centipede. LA LA LA.


10. ...crap, I finished in nine points instead of ten, whoops. XD Oh well, at least Zakuro tore his shirt open. I WONDER WHAT UGLY MONSTROSITY HE'LL TRANSFORM INTO NEXT WEEK. WE SHALL SEEEEE.

Gokudera's fanboying over Tsuna has pretty much reached fandom wank level.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-11-06 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh God, now I'm picturing like. If someone went on MAFIA_SECRETS and made a secret bashing Tsuna. And then Gokudera completely flips his shit and FLAMES THE GUY LIKE NO ONE HAS EVER FLAMED BEFORE. XD

- I second that, the only thing that she said that was useful is that this whole arc will be coming to an end soon.

- Or choke~

- Varia will probably jump on that ship somewhere in the middle. If Tsuna & co can jump from Namimori to a mysterious battle place and back, there's no doubt that Mukuro & co will do the same thing. Only with more style~

- I was wondering that too! If anything, he probably powered him up more by telling him NO HE CAN'T FIGHT because we all kno that 'Dera won't sit down on the job.

- LAWL

- I awed over how pathetic Nuts is when he's not in battle. He really is a reflection of Tsuna. I nearly died when Uri took over!

- BEST PAGE EVER! This might make up for all those times when Gokudera was fairly useless during battle until~

- T_T

"I can see the future! Something is going to happen tomorrow." No, REALLY?

OR CHOKE. Seriously, something, you know?

Yeah, I'm definitely expecting to see the Varia, as well as maybe a few other hopeful surprise guests (SHAMAL??). And no doubt they'll pop up whenever they feel like it, like you said.

Lol, yeah, Gokudera's definitely the type to take a "you can't fight!" as a challenge, if anything. As we saw at the end of this chapter. <3

I awwwed so much at Nuts's face when he was trying to hide behind Tsuna. XD And then when Uri pounced, I just lost it.

THERE IS NO PAGE 17. IT DOESN'T EXIST.

And due to my having been out of the Internet loop last week, I hadn't seen either of those--thank you for the link! OMFG that calendar. *_* IT HAS TYL!YAMAMOTO IN LEATHER PANTS WITH A MOTORCYCLE. AND TYL!GOKUDERA AND URI GIVING EACH OTHER BEDROOM EYES. THIS IS ALL KINDS OF AMAZING.

I totally don't stalk manga helpers constantly looking for such things, but really, I knew it was coming out from a spoiler pic from 264 which was also where I got the were-kitty Gokudera comic from, spoilers are helpful.

I'm actually going to have to start using this now aren't I? Even though LJ is so scary ; ___ ;

Shouichi saying that Gokudera can't fight made me mad like WOAH.

I AM NOT PLEASED. FU SHOUICHI, FU FROM BEHIND WITH A GODDAMNED GARDEN SPADE!

That was my reaction. That's quite frankly still my reaction. That Amano has decided to turn Gokudera into a buttmonkey is pissing me off beyond belief. Lambo can fight but Gokudera can't? Screw you, Amano.

Oh no, Shou, Tsuna has a few scratches now, that must mean he can't fight. :|
YOU MADE ME LOOL LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. XD

Is it pathetic that your posts are usually the highlight of the KHR chapters for me and that I can sit around all day waiting for you to post? xD

I was SO OUTRAGED for that ten page interval in between Shou telling him he can't fight, and him fighting. ANGRIEST TEN PAGES OF MY LIFE. I mean, on the one hand, I don't mind that he tends to fail so often, because it's endearing and it keeps him from getting too Mary Sueish (hot, check; smart, check; angsty past, check; if he was all badass all the time it'd be too much). But he's still a freaking MAIN CHARACTER and this is shounen and he needs to be allowed to kick some ass sometimes. The idea of him possibly being left out of the epic final showdown was way past the line.

But since it seems Shou was made to see reason, all is well again. Just... don't do that to us again, Amano. IT'S NOT GOOD FOR OUR BLOOD PRESSURE.

...lol I don't know what to say to that. I AM BLUSHING SO MUCH. XD

*iz in rant-mode today*

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2009-11-06 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm STILL outraged. I don't care if he got another one page shining moment. I AM STILL VERY MUCH ANGRY AT SHOUCHI AMANO. D<

Yeah, Gokudera DO have all the ingredients of a Mary-Sue, but he's different in the way that he has to FRIKKIN' PRACTICE to get any skill (and he geniuinely loathes himself, and not in the fake "I cut my wrists because of my horrific past" way that some Mary-Sue's do). Not to mention that he's not God-mode like Yamamoto is. (As much as I love Yamamoto, he is almost frikkin' over-powered for no apparent reason. He's Mr "I'll just flawlessly learn a perfect super powerful fish cutting school of techniques without ANY previous knowledge of kendo, and I'll do it in less than a week".) Compared to that, can't Gokudera just have ONE SINGLE SHINING MOMENT THAT IS NOT TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM?! DDD: And can you tell that I find Gokudera a compelling character that I'd like to see be explored properly?

I want to see Gokudera pull a "You ain't seen nothing yet!" complete with background music.

What can I say? xD I love you and your funniness, I think I've told you as much before. XD

IT'S OKAY, READING YOUR RANTS IS CATHARTIC.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-11-07 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
I DON'T HAVE A REBUTTAL TO ANY OF THAT, FOR THE MOST PART. The fact where he has to fight tooth and nail for all of his successes is one of the things I love most about him. But I agree that it's not satisfying unless he frickin' actually GETS to succeed every ONCE IN A BLUE MOON. I maintain that he's overdue for one and that it's coming (it's not like Amano has never delivered before; he's had his untainted moments of awesome), but it's getting really frustrating to wait.

I can't fault Yamamoto for his own awesome, though. I could never fault that boy for anything. Besides, the fact that he was defeated BY A WALL kind of cancels out everything awesome he's done... ever. XD

...and now I have that song stuck in my head. I WANT TO SEE A TRAINING MONTAGE.

♥

I ADMIT I HAD TO LOOK THE LAST WORD UP. THEN I WONDERED HOW MY RANTS HELP WITH YOUR BOWEL PROBLEMS.

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2009-11-07 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
NO ONE CAN REBUT THAT. IT BE FACT. XD I know! ;___; It's so nice to see someone actually have to fight to gain skill points, instead of being awarded them by others or by god or plot device. His victory against Chikusa was ruined by LAMO TSUNA who had to be saved, thus causing Goku to LOSE A FIGHT HE'D ALREADY WON. (That sucked). He lost his fight against Bel because Tsuna didn't want him to die (this time he still shone even though he lost), and then TYL arc started, but at least he got to TIE against Gamma. Always something I guess. -___-

I don't fault Yamamoto for anything, it's impossible to fault him. Which is why one could probably write an awesome fanfic in which Yamamoto is the cause of the marriage relationship problems between him and Gokudera but everyone just assumes that Gokudera is at fault because Yamamoto never does anything wrong. True, but he later god-moded the shit out of Genkishi, so he got his revenge. xD

That song is made of awesome sauce. :D

♥♥♥

SOB NO WHYYY. THAT WORD IS NOW TAINTED FOR ME FOREVER!

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-11-07 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
But at least he kicked Levi's ass, and Nosaru's. And he only lost to Bel on a technicality. And he's had other moments of awesome, like being the only character (aside from Xanxus) who can use two different flame types, let alone five. (Which I still think is the coolest fucking thing ever.) And he's building up a lot of karma, it's only a matter of time before it reaches a point where even Amano can't deny him his glory.

Heh, a fic exploring the darker side of Yama could be really cool, actually. AND OF COURSE NO ONE WOULD TAKE POOR GOKUDERA'S SIDE, sob. It's the kind of thing that would start out sort of funny and then potentially end up really dark and disturbing. Yes, but on the other hand... he was defeated by a wall.

IT IS. I WOULD ALSO ACCEPT A TRAINING MONTAGE SET TO "EYE OF THE TIGER."

IT'S WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING. :D

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2009-11-07 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
True, very true. He only lost to Bel AND Chikusa on a technicality. But it still sucks. xD (It's my pet theory that he can use all 7, he just doesn't have any real use for Sky and Mist since there are hardly any Sky boxes and he can't use illusions. XD) But yes, five flame types that are strong enough to be used is awesome sauce. :D

I HAD AN IDEA FOR IT, BUT IT WAS REALLY REALLY STUPID, SO IT WILL NEVER BE WRITTEN. XD Yep, it could end up really heart wrenching, especially considering Gokudera's trust issues and the fact that one can totally oplay in Tsuna taking Gokudera's trust for granted si9nce he's never had to fight for it. And he'll never hear the end of it. XD

THIS IS A VERY GOOD IDEA. THIS SHOULD HAPPEN. LIKE NOW.

:(!

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-11-08 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Holy shit, I thought I was the only one with that crazy pet theory. 8D I totally believe he can use all seven too, but like you said, the last two don't apply so much to the C.A.I. (Although it doesn't stop me from secretly hoping that his real Vongola box upgrade consists of an awesome new mist/storm combo, because that would be the MOST BADASS EVER.)

I don't think I could ever write something like that mostly because I'm almost never successful in writing something non-gen, but it's definitely a cool idea. I mean, in a horrible horrible way. NOR SHOULD HE.

:D!

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2009-11-08 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
Soul/Mind twins! 8D I figure that Gokudera's father is a boss, right? His father should therefore have Sky and Storm flame as his main attributes (that's why both Gokudera and Bianchi have storm, but it would also technically mean that Bianchi might have sky flame which she can't use, but I digress) and Gokumama might have had some other type of flame (she seems like a Rain type to me) and Gokudera is just that awesome. XD (That would be so badass. SO BADASS. I want this. NOW.)

Yeah, any idea I have about it is really stupid. It's my curse, I can come up with awesome scenarios, but any actual idea ends up horrendously stupid. xD THIS IS TRUE.

2. KILLING ANYTHING NAMED BYAKURAN SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN TO ME :|

4. Ryohei can't do anything? LET'S FLY TO AMANO'S TOWN AND PUNCH HER FOR THIS *shakefist!!!11one!* Or just...convince her to let both Ryohei and Gokudera fight with the power of cutesy, shoujo sparkles? XD

6. Also, my fondness for Nuts just shot up like whoa.

Sorry, but I LOL'D like a maniac at this sentence lmfaoooo. But Nuts is the cutest ever.

AND LAL MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS SKYROCKETED. ALONG WITH MY LOVE FOR GOKUDERA AND GAMMA. OH MAN THEY WERE FULL OF AWESOME /o/

I'm afraid to see what kind of ridiculous thing Zakuro turns into. I am still kind of scarred from seeing Daisy. Not to mention that is quite a scary face he is making on the last page XD;

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-11-06 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
2. Doesn't he have any food allergies or something? There must be some way to get him. IT'S NOT LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE A FUCKTON OF CHANCES, except for the part where Shouichi said to ignore that because this is the only universe they can win in, blah blah blah. But it's not like Shou has been giving out the greatest advice lately.

4. I'M WITH YOU ON THE SHAKEFISTING!!! Since Gokudera had that amazing panel of BADASS at the end of the chapter, I except both he and Ryohei went up to Shou and told him, "Screw the rules, we have boxes." THEY HAD BETTER NOT BE DENIED.

6. HENCE THE AWKWARD NAME!!1

THEY ARE ALL MADE OF WIN. BEST COMBI-PLAY EVER. I know Zakuro says he's on a different level from Torikabuto and Daisy, but fuck it, BITCH IS GOING DOWN. I hope. D:

[identity profile] azartti.livejournal.com 2009-11-06 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
THIS. THIS IS WHERE LONGCHAMP APPEARS. IF HE DOES NOT. I'M GONNA CRY LIKE A SPOILED CHILD.

Also, Nuts is so freaking adorable. Even if it made me think of boss!2759 and lololol UriNuts. Because yeah!!! *goes to hide*

LAL TO THE ATTACK AGAIN. You have no idea how happy this makes me.

And now that I think about it. Even if they defeat Byakuran and all that, Tsuna will Jesus him and all the others will too by default. And hello new ally for the past? And by that Tsuna changed the mafia for the better? Lol stupid theories.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-11-06 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Whenever I get impatient for a character now, I tell myself, "REMEMBER THE GAMMA." LONGCHAMP WILL HAVE HIS DAY. Oh my God imagine the awesome if he just appeared out of nowhere and like. Used a HYPER DESOLATION BULLET to make Zakuro feel SO SORRY FOR HIM that he bursts into tears and runs away crying. ...IT COULD HAPPEN.

I SHIP URINUTS NOW SOB!!1 OTP of mascot cuteness.

I know, it's beyond awesome to see her actually get to do something again. It has been years. LITERAL YEARS. Damn.

I kinda hope they don't Jesus the bad guy for once in their lives, but who am I kidding, it's totally going to happen. And then, assuming the manga doesn't end after this arc, they'll go back in time and somehow there'll be an even STRONGER enemy waiting for them, IN SPITE OF ALL THE ODDS. And Byakuran will be the one appearing out of nowhere to save the day and appease the fangirls. And that day will be the weirdest day of my life.

IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN, I'M GOING TO BE SO FREAKING SAD.

Yeees. Go kick some ass Lal!

I hope that they don't Jesus Byakuran. I'm hoping that he is the king of evil on villians. But yes, I can see it happening and I'll join you in the weirdest day evah.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-11-08 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Whenever Longchamp finally appears he must use the Hyper Desolation Bullet. This must happen.

God, it was so awesome just to see her not lying down on a hospital bed or a stretcher, let alone strangling Zakuro with her terrifying box weapon.

I agree that Jesusing Byakuran at this point would seem kind of a cop-out, especially after all this buildup. Plus, I think the fallout from Tsuna and co. actually KILLING A BAD GUY would be really interesting; it would make for some awesome angsty character development. Sadly though, what with this being a Jump manga, I have my doubts. XD

Uri/Nuts is my new friggen otp.

AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN TRAVEL TIME. WHAT IS THIS TRAVEL TIME YOU SPEAK OF? Did you not realize that Squalo hopped a BOAT to JAPAN from ITALY and got there in, what, a DAY?!

A boat in a storm. A fishing boat in a storm.

Chikusa's at least going to get them a plane. Which will be like, a super fast Jet. Paid for by.

As always, your review WINS.

LOL I thought exactly the same about Byakuran! I was also pretty scared by Uni because she was smiling so sweetly while talking about KILLING ALL THE BYAKURANS IN ALL THE UNIVERSES. I have a growing suspicion that she is not what she seems to be...

Anyway, Gokudera was really adorable and then awesome in this chapter! His cuteness when he was defending Tsuna (so "deep and thoughtful" that likes of Gamma couldn't understand XD) was only paralleled by UriNuts cuteness.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-11-08 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well, to be fair, she was trying to reassure Tsuna with the whole comforting thought of, "all you have to do is this and then you'll finally be able to go home!" That, and she's the embodiment of sweetness, so I'm not sure she even can think of it as killing all the Byakurans ever. I mean, looking at the visual representation on that page with all the little Byakuran heads with x's on them, I almost half suspect that's actually how she thinks of it. XD But I do like the idea of her being more than she appears.

Yeah, this chapter was definitely a treat for Gokudera fans. Except for Irie trying to keep him out of the fight. XD But I already :|ed enough over that.

[identity profile] caffeinexsugar.livejournal.com 2009-11-09 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL Your theory about Uni and little Byakuran heads is totally believable. Now I can't think otherwise XD

Shouichi saying that Gokudera can't fight was, in my opinion, just a literary device to make Gokudera look even cooler. Fighting when you're so badly injured that some people think you shouldn't fight--isn't it a stunt every cool, strong-willed character has to pull once or twice? XD I just hope he'll play a big role bringing Zakuro (or other FWs) down.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO FINDS THE FACT THAT YAMAMOTO AND HIBARI ARE MISSING VERY CONVENIENT? HURR HURR. /SURE/ THEY'RE OUT ON SOME OTHER MISSION.

Eeeeeee chapter summary. I live for these as much as I live for the chapters - I kid you not.

This dolphin crap made absolutely no sense to me (especially since I was fuming about Ryohei and Gokudera not being allowed to fight) - but it made up for it in the end, since Uri and Natsu got to have a bitch fight. <3

But by far hands down the best part of this chapter was that ridiculous pose that all of the Millefiore seem to be doing while Byakuran gives them their orders. IT'S THAT YEAR NINE POPULAR MYSPACE POSE - I SWEAR TO GODDDD.
(I laughed so hard. Me and my friends have been making that hand gesture for YEARS.)

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-11-08 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
LOL. But you know, Hibari missing I can understand, since he's currently making love to his beloved school. But what the hell is taking Yamamoto so long, anyway? EITHER SQUALO IS DEAD (IMPOSSIBLE!!) OR HE'S NOT. Either way, he should have rejoined the others by now. ...You don't think maybe the Wall... oh, shit. D:

Well, we saw the whole intercombinationwhatever thing in action at the end of the chapter, where Lal and Gamma's boxes were working in tandem. It was basically just a really long and bullshitty way of saying that by using the dolphin to coordinate them, the box animals can work together as a team!!1one. I don't understand how it's any different from them teaming up without the dolphin's help, but whatever.

LOL, yes. That "hmmm!" pose. They all looked like they were trying to solve a murder mystery or something.

Why is Mokona so cute in that icon?

I love how she couldn't even tell them the forest bit until they were actually in the woods. Hell, at that point, why even bother? But she couldn't have told them when they were fleeing from the base and looking desperately for someplace to hide, oh no.

Dude, this chapter. I was mad too when Shouichi said they were in no condition to fight. Not that it would matter because they'd still fight.

The box animal telepathy is kinda cool and opens up a whole new sub-KHR fanfic genre for animal weapons.

I can just picture Kojirou flying around, and smacking into a window. And Jirou running into a fire hydrant, or whatever the hell dogs are prone to running into. XD
