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. When did Haru and Kyoko get there? And Reborn was mouthing off to Byakuran because someone's got to do it, by gum. It's all coming back now. I have to say, Mr. "Haven't you been watching?" kinda has a point. XD UM, REBORN, I HATE TO INTERRUPT, BUT THAT TSUNA YOU SPEAK OF? HE'S NOT LOOKING SO HOT.

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 or maybe not so 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 EVERYTHING.

1. Yeah, I kinda felt the same way. And lol, yeah--I can't wait for the moment when they finally do get back, and Tsuna breathes a sigh of relief ONLY TO HAVE REBORN SPOIL THE MOMENT by reminding him with affectionate beatings <3 that he's been neglecting his schoolwork and it's time to catch up.

3. I may very well be reading too much into it, but it just seemed really conspicuous to show a reaction like that from Yamamoto (and for once he had the reaction panel all to himself, too). I'm really hoping it's a sign that Amano hasn't forgotten that Yama owes us an Arco explanation.

And yeah, Gamma really isn't going to be a happy camper when he wakes up.

2. & 4. Yeah, he was pretty much beside himself with lulz this chapter. XD

7. I have to hand it to him, the kid is a born speech-giver. He should think about running for President.

Byakuran delighted me because he seems to take such joy from being an evil bastard. He absolutely is the Joker, and it cracks me up.

8. Same here. And I have a feeling she won't disappoint.

10. BECAUSE THEY'RE MAGIC, AFTER ALL.

LOL, I didn't even notice that Hibari and Mukuro weren't even looking up. XD And Yama isn't looking at his ring OR the hologram-thingy; he's just kind of staring off into space at some OTHER odd thing, and because I can, I'm just going to assume he's staring at G's hologram because he likey. >_>

Lambo's reaction panel will never not be amazing.

HE IS INCREDIBLY SMOKING HOT, and he does seem to be on really intimate good terms with Giotto. I think they were described as friends, weren't they? Anyway, it's interesting to see the difference in their relationship as opposed to Gokudera's relationship with Tsuna, I agree. (And I love Gokudera's expression too. XD)

Haha, so many people have all of these different and yet plausible-sounding theories as to what the "shackles" are. |D I love seeing all these cool ideas tossed around. *really can't wait for the next chapter*

IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. This series is just way too attractive.

Lol your icon fits the chapter. Yes, Tsuna you said some very good things.

1- The best thing is that it's not even his fault but it's not like Reborn's gonna care about that fact XD (Maybe he has more Mafia lessons too *wants*)

3- Oh I feel like Amano doesn't forget anything, so I doubt she'd let something that important slip her mind.

8c I have to keep reminding myself that Uni's just a baby in the past and probably gonna be fine.

7- It probably comes with being a main character. Or mafia boss. Or maybe both lol His fliers would be like, "Tuna For President! *fish cartoons all over*"
As evil as he is I could never fully hate such a happy character<3

8- She hasn't disappointed thus far, I doubt she'd start now.

10-
-Considering they took part in ~*~*Creating The World*~*~ or whatever I shouldn't be surprised XD
-They're both completely ignoring the holograms. Probably afraid that if they look up the force will overtake them and they'll make a face. And Yama lolol he's probably "Oh! That one looks like Gokudera! <8OO *stare...*"
-Lambo's just so cool<3
-Yeah, they're supposed to be childhood friends or something. I'm really looking forward to the Primo arc now XD
-Whatever the shackles are, they removal of them is sure to be epic.

IT ISSS Oh, Reborn<33 It's times like this when I really wanna let Amano know just how amazing I think her series is.
