Let's do this while I've got some time!

THINGS OBSERVED ABOUT REBORN 248:


1. Announcing... MILLEFIORE CASUAL FRIDAYS. I-I can't stop cracking up; this cover is my new favorite thing ever. (And I love how the text is all, "What lies behind his bewitching gaze?" IS HE TRYING TO SEDUCE US OR WHAT. He's kind of failing hilariously, but maybe that's just me, lol.)


2. "I did it... old man..."

AHHH WAY TO GO RIGHT FOR THE GUT AMANO. Is it pathetic that I nearly teared up? Please don't answer that. XD

Other notable things about this page:

1. "No doubt about it... since the battle in the Melone Base, Yamamoto's really powered up." OH REALLY, REBORN? YOU THINK? XD
2. Yamamoto's HILARIOUS victory dance and his "Whoo!" I'm just going to assume that even though we can't see him, Squalo is currently smacking his forehead again. YOUR APPRENTICE IS VERY SPECIAL.
3. Dera's little sideways-glance "heh," which I assume translates into something like, "Not bad, my rival-slash-heterosexual-life-partner. Not bad. ...Not that I care or anything." |D


3. "We're not killers, that's all." asdlkj he's so happy and cute and innocent. YAMA PLEASE STAY LIKE THIS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE even though it is oh so fun to torture you in fanfiction. XD

You can tell he kind of naively expects Genkishi to somehow turn into another sword rival like Squalo. It makes what happens next even more tragic. ;_;


4. ...Well, now we can update the list of things we know about Kikyou.

1. Is pretty.
2. Has a girl's name.
3. Is a bitch. :|


5. Oh my God yes Genkishi flashback. 8O I WAS WAITING AND WAITIIIIING. I KNEW YOU HAD A SYMPATHETIC BACKSTORY!

And we find out more about Byakuran and his wtf powers! Apparently he is Jesus or something. INTERESTING and by "interesting" I mean "creepy."


6. Oh come on, let the girls see, they're not made of china or anything. :( I mean, it's nice of you to keep chivalry alive and all, Dino, but if you don't give a hoot about whether the boys are traumatized (and don't say they aren't, just look at Yama and Tsuna's faces. LET'S NOT EVEN GET INTO POOR BASIL), you might as well keep the girls there too. AND UH, DOES NO ONE CARE ABOUT LAMBO AND IPIN, or what? (Actually... where are they...??)


7. BYAKURAN OH MY GOD JUST WHEN I THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T BE ANY MORE OF A DICK. It's one thing to not give a shit when your subordinate who worships you happens to get injured/die in the line of duty (hell, that's pretty much old hat by now, thank you Xanxus and Mukuro). It's a whole 'nother ball game to KILL THE SUBORDINATE just cuz you feel like it. Geez.

Hey Kikyou, I bet you're thinking, "lol what an idiot. Good thing nothing like this could ever happen to me!" WORD OF ADVICE: I BET IT COULD.


8. So, let's recap.

Yama vs. Ken - Sword to the face!
Yama vs. Squalo - SHAAAAAARK
Yama vs. Mammon - Tentacle rape
Yama vs. Genkishi - WALLLLLLL
Yama vs. Genkishi, REDUX - SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.

Yep. I think that deep, deep down, none of us are really surprised.


9. lol Basil got excited again.


10. YAY. VONGOLA, ROLL OUT!!1 I hope next week Dera gets to fight. 8D

You know, if Byakuran tried to seduce me with that cover picture, he's a complete failure because I thought that he'd never been as ugly in another picture. xD;

Kikyou...oh, well. Who knows? He might be out for revenge since he looks like Gamma. xD;

Poor Squalo. XDDD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm not exactly finding it attractive either. XD BUT IT IS HILARIOUS.

...now that you mention it, he does bear a certain resemblance to Gamma, though I'm not sure that it really means anything (though I'm one to talk, since I still believe Shamal and Lava Guy are relates somehow XD). I do wonder if he had some additional motive, though, because he seemed to be extra specially dickish about the whole thing.

On the one hand, Squalo's protege is made of awesome. On the other, he's also made of fail. XD

[identity profile] johanaire.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
IT IS. XDDD AH, HAHAHAHA NEW CULT BYAKURAN! XDD

Right, and I think that Shamal and Lava Guy are related too~ XD
I have just been totally uninterested in Choice so I didn't notice that. xDD

POOR SQUALO. HE NEEDS SOMEONE LIKE BOSSU TO BE AN APPRENTICE. You know that I was kidding there, right? :O

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
TWEEKER GOD BYAKURAN WILL NEVER CEASE TO ENTERTAIN ME.

They have to be related, they're like carbon copies of each other. :O

Squalo just has no luck. Lol, yeah. XD

[identity profile] johanaire.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I AGREE WITH THAT XDD

Someone went and did plastic surgery...:O

In Fate of Heat, they rated their luck quotient and Squalo's luck was like 200 while Hibari's was 400. Everyone had better luck than Squalo except for Xanxus who had about 100 of luck. o__O;

Oh, and that means Hibari is the luckiest

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, seriously? Do you know if the luck stats are all listed anywhere? I'm curious to check out the rest now. (It... doesn't surprise me that Xanxus had the worst luck. XD)

[identity profile] johanaire.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I unlocked all characters on my game so I can try and list all of them if you want.

Reborn games aren't that popular anyways, so I doubt about there being a list.

The Varia really has bad luck on the whole. Tsuna does too. I think Yama has pretty good luck. Maybe better luck than Hibari. [but somehow, my head always had Hibari having the best luck. ^^;]

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, thanks. But I know there are a lot of characters in that game, so you don't have to list them if it's a hassle. I don't need to know that badly. ^^;; (That, and I can probably guess at most of that stats anyway.)

Well, that would explain why they ended up losing. XD Lol, I guess Tsuna does have pretty terrible luck in general, though he seems to get lucky in bursts every so often. And it wouldn't surprise me if Yamamoto was as or more lucky than Hibari; both of them definitely have that "everything comes easily to them" vibe.

[identity profile] johanaire.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
There are only a few, actually. Well, compared to the some of the latest games. xD

Luck only determines how fast you can go in the game. As in, when your turn is up or something like that. Tsuna, yes, he does have HORRIBLE Luck, but it gets better in Hyper Mode, I think.
Yamamoto's speed is #1, but still, he sometimes doesn't get top spot during battles all due to that something called Hyper Will Tsuna. XD;

I think Chrome's was pretty shabby too. I remember how she always came out to be last in everything. =/
