Why is there a chapter out on freaking WEDNESDAY?

...AND WHY AM I COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS FACT. THIS IS AWESOME.

Anyway, the Mangahelpers RTS thread is here, and Kirimi's translation is here, although for some reason you have to be logged in to see the latter? Or at least I did. WHATEVER.


1.
Vongola side: Wha-!?
I know this is a dumb reason to lol, but I kind of cracked up anyway. I just love that their reaction is exactly the same as everyone else's. "WHAAAAAT?" XD


2.
Irie: Besides, this entire plan was part of your future counterpart's idea too, Tsunayoshi-kun!!
OH SNAP. Tsuna's idea? Now that's interesting. And it's a good thing Shou brought it up too; it'll probably save him a good deal of beatings in the future. "W-wait, don't blame me, it was your boss's idea? Remember? Your boss? WHOM YOU ADORE AND NEVER QUESTION NO MATTER WHAT?" GOOD IDEA TO PLAY THE BOSS CARD SHOU.

Also:
Irie: This plan was of utmost secrecy held between myself, your future counterpart, and the future Hibari Kyouya. Under no circumstances was the plan to be revealed to anyone else.

「10年後の雲雀君がこちらの奇襲を予想できたのもそのためなんだ」
Irie: That's also why the future Hibari-kun knew about the ambush from us.
Haha, yes! So Hibari knew too! That explains that, then. And it seems the theories about Gokudera being in the dark were correct; he knew about the time travel plan, but he didn't know that the mastermind behind it was secretly working on their side. I guess that makes sense.

Makes me wonder why Tsuna trusted Hibari but not Yamamoto and HIS RIGHT HAND MAN, though. Hopefully it won't cause much angst in the future. XD


3.
Irie: If we didn't take this gambit to deal with this situation, all of you and all your friends will be annihilated!!
In fact! More people… or worse, all of humanity will be in crisis!!
Huh. Come to think, he's right. Somehow it never quite connected with me until now that if the 7^3 has the power to destroy the world, it means the whole world is in danger.

This is way bigger than anything else the kids have been involved in up till this point. It's one thing to fight when it's their lives on the line, or even the lives of their family and friends... but the fate of humanity? Kind of a lot to put on a bunch of 14-year-olds' shoulders (except for the fact that as we all know, 14-year-olds routinely carry the fate of the world in Japan).

SO NO PRESSURE, TSUNA.


4.
Irie: The only way to seal Byakuran's power and defeat him is
in this era!!

-13-

「能力!?」
Vongola boys: Power!?

入江「説明すると長くなるが…
ん?」
Irie: It'll take too long to explain, but…
WAIT JUST A SECOND, NO IT WON'T. EXPLAIN. EXPLAIN!!

...damn it. :|


5.
Squalo: Voooii!!

-16/17-
OH MY GOD YES YES YESSSS!!1
スク「そろそろおっぱじめるぜぇ!!」
Squalo: It's about time we get fucking started!!
VOOOIIIII IT'S THE FUCKING VARIA

HELL YEAAAAHHH

Squalo (GOD BLESS HIM) looks like he raided Gokudera's closet. I'm very confused as to the identity of the guy in the... frog hat? A NEW GUY? And ten bucks says Levi defeats the entire Millefiore force solely with the power of his epic mustache. YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE.


...so awesome omg.

idk i haven't read the tyl arc and i heard something about the Arcobaleno disappearing but at first glance I thought that was older mammon in the frog hat thing

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Only problem with that is Mammon is supposedly dead, though. Via suicide lol XDD Though it could be a relative, maybe? *PONDERS*

[identity profile] doublekill.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
OH lmfao.

Well, keyword there is supposedly?

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we did just hear of it second-hand. (Over here if you want to check it out for yourself.) And come to think, Mammon is an illusionist, so maybe he could have faked it...? But that wouldn't explain how the Millefiore got hold of his pacifier afterwards, unless he just left it there for them.

I dunno, I still don't really think it's him.

That goes into an icon xD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL I would so use that icon. XD

And it's truth! A mustache that grand... there's no way it can be defeated!!

[identity profile] googuru-girl.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Levi's mustache is EPIC! haha..
Oh man, I'm sort of hoping the guy in the frog hat is Mammon. I- I really want to cosplay him now *A*

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
IT REALLY SERIOUSLY IS. As soon as I saw it I just went, :O at its majesty. I think it'll be like Afro Luffy where it boosts his power level to OVER 9000.

BUT MAMMON IS DEEEEEAAAD but it would be really cool. Whoever he is, he's awesome.

[identity profile] rikasaurus.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
OH GOD I FANGIRLED HARD AT THE RAWS.

VARIA FUCK YEAH!!! Lussuria looks fabulous as usual.

And ten bucks says Levi defeats the entire Millefiore force solely with the power of his epic mustache. YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE.

This is why I love reading your weekly reviews about Reborn xD They're always so full of win.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
AS DID I.

Really, would Lussuria ever not look fabulous?

Lol, thank you. XDD I MEAN LOOK AT IT, it's freaking deadly.

[identity profile] dame-batsie.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It's about time we got some questions answered! ^__^

I love Squalo so damn much. Makes me wonder if the focus is going to switch over to Italy now. WHICH MEANS HOPEFULLY DINO WILL MAKE AN APPEARANCE!

*crosses fingers*

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOW. And the answers even make some kind of sense! It's almost too good to be true. :P

ZOMG IS DINO NEXT??! was pretty much my very first thought upon seeing the last page (aside from "LOL MUSTACHE" and "FUCK YEAH IT'S SQUALOOOO"). MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED TOO. Though I hope things don't shift too completely to the Italy side of things just yet, because I really want to see what will happen with the kids now (and Yamamoto still needs to wake up :/).

[identity profile] dame-batsie.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't notice the mustache when I first saw the page; I was concentrated on Squalo. Pretty, pretty Squalo and his pretty teeth. XD

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Makes me wonder why Tsuna trusted Hibari but not Yamamoto and HIS RIGHT HAND MAN, though.
MAYBE HIBARI FOUND OUT. XD BUT NO, SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELLLLL, I guess it's more plot development on Hibari's part...?

(except for the fact that as we all know, 14-year-olds routinely carry the fate of the world in Japan).
Oh, shonen manga, I'd never quit you~

Irie: The only way to seal Byakuran's power and defeat him is
in this era!!

skdjfhlkf;djhaflkg WHATWHATWHAT T^T geez, Shouichi is such a tease.

VARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, OMGGGGG *breathes*
WTF: And ten bucks says Levi defeats the entire Millefiore force solely with the power of his epic mustache. YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE.
I LOLED
I thought the frog hat dude was Mammon? Maybe he didn't die.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
ACTUALLY I WAS WONDERING IF MAYBE HE FOUND OUT TOO. I wouldn't put it past him. But yeah, otherwise, that ain't right. I know Gokudera's pretty transparent and Yamamoto is kind of oblivious, but c'mon, Tsuna, you could have trusted them with that. XD

Never in a million years! I'm this for the long haul, hilarious logic and all.

I KNOWWWW. Like hell there's not enough time! MAKE SOME TIME THEN.

The mustache is amazing okay. :|

AND EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING IT'S MAMMON. I guess it's the hat? XD But considering that and the fact that it's VARIA, it is a reasonable guess, I suppose. EXCEPT FOR THE PART WHERE HE CHEATS DEATH.

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
EXCEPT FOR THE PART WHERE HE CHEATS DEATH.
But Colonello saved him, right?
But I'm starting to think it's not Mammon, because remember that one page
There are no tear drop tattoo things in this new image.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but then after Colonnello saved him he committed suicide. BECAUSE WHAT BETTER WAY TO HONOR YOUR FELLOW ARCOBALENO'S NOBLE SACRIFICE, AMIRITE? XD

And yeah, that's right, no face markings. Hmm. But you know, that hat does strangely resemble the hat/hood of that guy in the upper right corner of that page you linked. MAYBE ANOTHER CONNECTION?

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
I've always taken that with a grain of salt...X_X but it would make sense if it's true.

!!! BUT ALL THE ARCOBALENO ARE DEAD, Y/Y???? BUT...I can't unsee it now. XD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
What I'm wondering now is if maybe he faked his own death with his illusions, though? After SHOU = GOOD GUY, I'm willing to consider any plot twist. *ponderrrrrs*

THEY ARE SUPPOSEDLY, BUT IF MAMMON CAN BE A SUSPECT ANYWAY I DON'T SEE WHY THIS STRANGE FELLOW CAN'T.

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
TRUE.

sort of unrelated but: I know Shouichi said that their future selves are in a molecular state, but does that mean it is possible they might meet their future selves???

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
One can hope, anyway.

I guess it depends on whether or not they can be released from the machine without immediately swooshing back ten years in time like they were supposed to. But at the very least, I expect some decent self-cest fics to come of the possibility. XD

[identity profile] esoteric-memory.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
...okay, don't call me crazy, even if its true...but when you said squalo raided gokudera's closet i had this image of the two having a tryst at some point in time and one of them grabbing the wrong briefcase when they left. and then i saw gokudera in that long coat and damn if he don't look good in it.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
when you said squalo raided gokudera's closet i had this image of the two having a tryst at some point in time and one of them grabbing the wrong briefcase when they left

Oh my God. BRB, DEAD FROM MENTAL IMAGE. XDDD

"--Fuck! This isn't mine! ...Why the hell's there a videotape addressed to the baseball freak?"
"VOOIIIIIIII!!! THAT STORM BRAAAT STOLE MY FUCKING BRIEEFCAAASE!! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ALL THIS FUCKING JEWELRRRRRYYYY?"

(That is, if Squalo didn't simply blow up. Because somehow I suspect that Gokudera's the type of person who would rig his briefcase to explode if anyone other than him opened it. XD)

And mental image!Gokudera does look mighty fine in the Squalo coat, I agree.

[identity profile] esoteric-memory.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
dude, those two should totally go on a few missions together. so passionately angry those two are...and so very very -devoted- to their bosses. oh god...you know those two would just be baring their teeth at each other and keep snapping at strategic places...like on the plane...a private plane...did i mention the passionate angry? and the pretty and the kinky?

and definitely rigged briefcase. most likely with an ultra S (either snarky or sadistic, not sure) level that detonates when the opener is a swordsman (do not question logic...this is crack) that somehow poofs them into a magic girl uniform. (stupid baseball idiot, lets see you laugh this off. laugh! that'll teach you to steal my handcuffs)

eh...is it just more or does the following little plot bunny turn your brain to mush? - Gokudera...Squalo's coat and nothing else...long legs...playing with Squalo's mind...and possibly Squalo's need for a new coat afterwards.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Lol, they're so similar that really, I think they'd end up killing each other before too long. But that's almost part of the appeal.

Haha, I'd peg Mukuro more as the type to do something like that (since Gokudera's really just all about the EXPLOSIONS!!1), but I can totally see him trying to figure out some way to rig it specifically against Yamamoto. And Yamamoto of course WOULD just laugh it off anyway. XD

...yeah, that's quite the brain-melting image. Oh my. D:

[identity profile] esoteric-memory.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
yes yes, everyone loves yamamoto except the poor guys who ended up with broken fingers from playing ball against him. what with the ball moving at mach 3 and all. but, as chummy as he is...imagine having to deal with that bipolar happy go lucky and then...dude wtf...moments. a few weeks would drive you nuts. a few months? a small degree of tolerance is formed. years...well, anger management comes in forms of imagined sadism.

ya sure he'd laugh off suddenly wearing a magic girl fuku? man that guy is scary. most girls i know would at least twitch if that happened to them.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, but Yamamoto is just THAT special. |D "Hahaha, what's this? That's a pretty strange sense of humor you've got!" And he chuckles and checks himself out in the mirror or something. He's just off in his own little mental plane of existence where nothing can ever faze him. XDDD

Which of course drives people like Gokudera even more nuts.

[identity profile] esoteric-memory.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
...oh...my...dude he's the type who actually likes the extra feathers and bells that come with each new transformation isn't he...ok, the poof leads to a hockey uniform. ;}

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
LOL

Now that might actually get a rise out of him, o-omg. XD

[identity profile] esoteric-memory.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
couldn't resist. you see, i'm a daughter of the north. hehe, hockey...it's like its either/or when it comes to hockey and baseball. le sigh, can't the silly jocks all get along? I mean yeah, the baseball guys are fast and all and are probably way jealous of the guys who get paid to fight but Yamamoto gets to get rid of all his testosterone in his mafia games don't he?

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, Yamamoto seems very Japanese in his choice of hobbies (baseball, kendo/swordsmanship), so it would probably be more of a principle thing if anything. Come to think, I wonder how big hockey is in Japan. XD

[identity profile] esoteric-memory.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
you'd think it'd be more popular what with all the skating they do over there. as for yamamoto and japanese culture...huh, i wonder if he has any tattoos. i know he's not yakuza, but still the idea behind it and all...

(gokuder - this is going to hurt. a lot. so don't scream and bust my ear drums - bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt)

[identity profile] theprerogative.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my dear you amuse me so much. LOL Levi. Crai.

Makes me wonder why Tsuna trusted Hibari but not Yamamoto and HIS RIGHT HAND MAN, though. Hopefully it won't cause much angst in the future. XD

I see it. 59's death. By angst.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'm thinking of all these 300 references. "MY MUSTACHE WILL BLOCK OUT THE SUN!" "Then we will fight in the shade!" Then Squalo just kills them all.

I can totally see Gokudera dwelling on it obsessively and maybe giving Hibari even more frequent dirty looks then usual. "WHY DID TENTH TRUST YOU AND NOT ME BAWWWW." Tsuna will have to reassure him a lot. XD

[identity profile] theprerogative.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
TONIGHT. WE DINE IN HELL. VOIIIIII

REASSURING. IS THAT WHAT THEY CALL SMEX NOWADAYS? I APPROVE.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
THIS. IS. VARIAAAAA!

Oh my yes. REASSURANCE... IN BED.

[identity profile] esoteric-memory.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
just saw the new chapter. two things: sooooooooooo giddy with all the shots where hibari and gokudera are matched up ^-^ and poor irie looks like he's got an ulcer.
