Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Chapter 277.
In which, AWESOME.1. Cover! ;_; Oh wow, that brought forth a much bigger wave of nostalgia than I was expecting. The cover text saying "their relationship hasn't changed" may be accurate, but a hell of a lot else has changed, and this scene really makes me miss the Daily Life arc and those bygone days of casual homework violence.
Random note: Every so often I forget just how incredibly tiny Reborn is, and then Amano does me the favor of showing him holding what logic tells me must be a normal-sized pencil, but which in his hands looks like one of those giant novelty pencils that when you open it it's secretly a piggy bank or something. GOSH HE'S SMALL.
2. Oh yeah, and stuff was happening, I almost forgot. I see we have returned once again to the Byakuran SkyDome, where circumstances are as dire as ever.
I love Byakuran's reaction here, because he says exactly what I'm thinking. Seems to me like it would take more than a pep talk to win the day, but hey this is Reborn's method so who am I to judge.
3. HEY. DON'T THINK I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT GIANT EXCLAMATION POINT GO OFF NEXT TO YOUR HEAD, YAMAMOTO. And don't you dare try to pass it off as coincidence when Reborn just happens to be telling us things about the Arcobaleno. When this fight is over we are going to have a talk, dammit.
I also can't help but think it's a good thing Gamma was unconscious for this part, because the blunt announcement that Uni plans on sacrificing her life (!! D:) strikes me as something he might object to! Unlike...
4. Byakuran, who looks as happy as if he'd just won the gold medal at the Dick Olympics. (And with a reaction like that, he probably did.) "OMG UNI YOU'RE SACRIFICING YOUR LIFE? THAT'S SO AWESOME I'M GOING TO BE PERKIER AND CREEPIER THAN EVER TOWARD YOU NOW!" And he wonders why he never gets any Christmas cards.
5. "Haha I can't believe Tsunayoshi-kun really woke up from your reproachful encouragement, Reborn-kun." You know, granted, he's no Fran, but I like to think this jab was at least partially aimed at the fourth wall regardless. XD At any rate, I'm right there with you, Princess Fireworks. Come on, Amano, for once let's not do it shounen style. Oh, who am I kidding.
6. T-Tsuna... D: MY POOR BABY oh wow I can't remember the last time I wanted this badly to leap through the computer screen and give a character a hug.
7. Sob he's being so brave and resilient and for once it's not HDW!Tsuna who's being awesome and that makes it all the more awesome, AND YET. Part of me can't help but be like, "...what?" at his totally random speech. XDDD
--and now I feel really bad because FUCK. I LOLED. "DON'T WANNA. |D *KAPOW*" It's like this fight already happened and this is now the SNL spoof of it, which Byakuran is playing up for every single laugh possible like the evil ham he is. XD
8. AHHHH OMG WHAT HOLY SHIT. LANCIA'S RING!!!!1 THE SPOILER WAS REALLY TRUE OMG FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT IT WAS FAKE BECAUSE IT SEEMED TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER SPOILERS. BUT IT IS TRUE AND AMAZING!
Amano I love you so much. You and your uncanny ability to pick up and dust off long-forgotten plot points at the best (read: most random) times ever. |D
9. Aw, Tsuna. I was all ready to be extremely :| at this really boring, cliched and illogical comeback, but somehow, in spite of everything, you actually managed to sell it. Man, you know you're good when even your readers end up being Jesused.
And would you look at that--there are still three whole pages to go! I wonder what will--
10. !!!
!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!
Okay, really quick
- OH MY GOD THE RINGS CAN FUCKING TIME TRAVEL IS THERE ANYTHING THEY CAN'T DO, JESUS.
- SUNNY PRIMO STILL LOOKS A LITTLE LESS YAMAISH IN THAT SHOT, GOOD FOR HIM!
- I WILL NEVER NOT LOVE RAINY PRIMO'S HAT.
- MISTY AND CLOUDY MADE ME LOL. FFS CLOUDY IF IT'S SO DULL WHY ARE YOU EVEN THERE. HE'S KIND OF ADORABLE.
- I ACTUALLY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THUNDERY PRIMO BECAUSE I WAS TOO BUSY LOLING AT LAMBO'S EXPRESSION. IT IS THE EXACT SAME EXPRESSION I WOULD HAVE IF A DEAD GUY SUDDENLY APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE AND STARTED FLOATING ABOVE MY HEAD LOOKING BORED.
- STORMY PRIMO IS MY FAVORITE EVER!!!!!!
- AND IN SPITE OF MY NOT REALLY SHIPPING 5927 SO MUCH I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THAT I ABSOLUTELY DO SHIP STORMY AND GIOTTO. "YOU SHOULD JUST DO AS YOU PLEASE LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO." "YOU'RE RIGHT... G." OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE THEIR WORDS ARE SOMEHOW MAKING BEDROOM EYES AT EACH OTHER, YOU CAN FEEL IT.
- "WHO ARE YOU?! WHOSE VOICE IS THAT?!" WOW, BYAKURAN, YOU'RE UNCHARACTERISTICALLY SLOW ALL OF A SUDDEN.
- PRIMO!! HE'LL FREE TSUNA FROM THOSE SHACKLES! WHAT SHACKLES, YOU ASK? I DON'T EVEN KNOW, ALL I KNOW IS THAT PRIMO AND DECIMO'S HEARTS ARE ABOUT TO "BECOME ONE" AND IT'S FREAKING ON.
WHERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER I LOVE .

afasdlkgalskhdshlkga I remember going wtf at...everything, and then, and then! 8DDDDDDDDDDDDD okayyyyyyyyy winding down to reply to your post...
I think Byakuran was lampshading all of the wtf moments XD lol seriously: <>"Haha I can't believe Tsunayoshi-kun really woke up from your reproachful encouragement, Reborn-kun." SERIOUSLY???? lol I do love a series that knows when to make fun of itself.
I also can't help but think it's a good thing Gamma was unconscious for this part
DLKGHDSLKHA UNI DON'T BE SO SELFISH.
LOL obviously Byakuran is into necro-pedophilia. He and Lussuria should become bffs.
Quivering Tsuna ;w;...just ;w;
Don't worry, I laughed reallyreally long and hard at "Don't wanna." I mean, his face sdklasdgad
...Then again, maybe I'm supposed to feel bad.
LANCIA'S RING!!!! I have no words but I lovelove when Amano does this XDD

I was just keysmashing at every other page, and then CAPSLOCKING KEYSMASHING at the last three pages omfg. THIS IS THE BEST KIND OF CHAPTER.
"If the characters are pointing out the flaws that means it's okay!" XD Oh Amano.
Of course Byakuran has a thing for dead lolis--the more disturbing the kink, the more likely it is to turn him on. XD
Tsunaaaaa T_T
HIS FACE, YES. He's always happiest when he's at his most dickish.
I love it too. It's like a shoutout to all the fans who have been obsessively taking notes on all the plot points--"See, I didn't forget!"
I like anon's theory that Primo is unsealing some of Tsuna's own power. I sure hope that by "shackles" he didn't mean "Vongola." D:
A sampling of Dick Olympics events: Puppy kicking, stealing candy from babies, taking forever to decide on what food to order when there's a long line behind you, tailgating people at night with your brights on, and talking during movies. It's surprisingly entertaining.

Oh, come to think of it, that does seem familiar...actually it's one of those things that I don't remember but upon hearing it it's like, "...oh!...oh? Wait what." @_@ I guess we'll find out later. I just thought the way I did because of context and how Byakuran was like "YOU HATE THE MAFIA AND YET YOU HAVE TO PROTECT IT! I PITY YOUR SOUL
THAT I WANT TO EAT FOR BREAKFAST" and Tsuna was like "even if I was in mafia, it's precious to me!" IDK IT SEEMED LIKE HE REALIZED SOMETHING IMPORTANT AND I COULDN'T UNSEE IT. But I think Primo releasing that hidden power is more likely and makes more sense. 'Sense' in every sense of the word and not just in Reborn-sense XDThat sounds more like a sampling of a hidden camera show XD

YES, ONLY THEY'RE DOING IT FOR MEDALS, NOT JUST FOR CHEAP RATINGS.
