This is not the manga that I married!!

KHR! It's like I don't even know you anymore!!

1. Oh God most epic reaction panel page ever. There are, count them, 21 different reaction shots, and every single one of them is trauma-faced. ALL OF THEM. Even Mukuro, Xanxus, Squalo, and Hibari look horrified. EVEN BYAKURAN, though obviously for different reasons. I've never seen so many characters express exactly what I was feeling (well, what I was feeling at the end of the last chapter, anyway) in my life.

This page also rather painfully highlights the similarities in a few of Amano's character designs, because, uh. For a good thirty seconds there, I stared and stared but could not be quite sure exactly which character was Gokudera. XD I'M STILL NOT QUITE SURE...?? Is that him or is it Basil? GD AMANO. Way to make me feel like a terrible fangirl. XD

2. Oh sweet Jesus Byakuran is speaking sentences that don't end in musical notes. Something terrible is about to happen, isn't it?

--AHHHHHH I KNEW IT. D:

And even Tsuna is starting to scare the shit out of me. Wow, Uni, you were the only thing preventing everyone from going completely insane. She's gone less than six pages, and already Tsuna's finally gone Super Saiyan. HE WON'T FORGIVE YOU, BYAKURAN. Stop and think about that for a sec. There is someone that even Tsuna will not forgive. I think Hell must be gearing up for its own Winter Olympics.

3. I admit I am finding this chapter kind of hard to snark about so far, partly because I'm a bit under the weather, but mostly because I am starting to have some painful flashbacks of Naruto and Bleach's talkiest boss battles, and I am really starting to get bored. XD Only now do I realize how much those little musical notes were actually appreciated. Byakuran, stop being a parody of a villain.

4. ...seriously, wtf. XD

WHERE DID THIS RANT EVEN COME FROM. SUDDENLY BYAKURAN IS FURIOUS WITH THE UGLINESS OF THE HUMAN CONDITION. AND "ROOTS" ARE POPPING OUT OF HIS LEGS. WTF WTF WTF. And yeah, Tsuna, how dare you like Uni as a person as opposed to a powerful device, you bastard.

5. I feel like this chapter is trying to beat me over the head with itself. XD SO... MUCH... SHOUNEN. SENSES... OVERLOADING. KEEP SHOUTING, EVERYONE, SHOUTING IS THE ANSWER TO ALL OF LIFE'S PROBLEMS. Seriously, it's true. Manga wouldn't lie to me.

6. LOOK, SEE, THE SHOUTING MAKES THE EXPLOSIONS EVEN MORE POWERFUL!!!!

what is this chapter I don't even.

7. ARE YOU FEELING ADRENALATED YET???!!!

8. Wait, what. Right when I was on the verge of making a joke about "just look at all the special effects in this chapter, clearly Amano is trying to get nominated for Best Picture", suddenly there is a Byakuran flashback? *_* I'D ALL BUT LOST HOPE.

9. A flashback with freaking Cervello, even. :O OH, CERVELLO, YOU'RE SO MYSTERIOUS. Coordinating the plot from behind the scenes like this, oh you guys. Who the fuck are you. <3

Also, two things of interest: One, while it remains to be seen if the Vongola ring is what enables Tsuna's brand-new time-traveling powers or if the power was inside him all along!, we now have confirmation that the Mare ring has nothing to do with Byakuran's world-jumping abilities. And two, said abilities clearly have fucked with him and caused his radically detached and dickish view of the world: "I realized that I'm merely a 'conscience' programmed into a game." I mean, it was more or less already clear that his wacky superpowers are what caused his villainy, but it's still awesome to see it confirmed. Oh Byakuran, I'm glad we finally got a tiny peek into your quirky and disturbing thought processes.

10. ...right before you kicked the bucket.

What.

After all of the buildup, after 140 chapters--literally half of the entire manga--and after the incredibly moving sacrifice of Uni and Gamma to revive the Arcobabies, this is how Byakuran is finally defeated? WITH A GODDAMN X BURNER?

KHR, I love you, baby, so I am just going to bite my tongue and wait for the next chapter, because there are SO MANY THINGS that I could say right now, but I feel like I at least owe you a chance to explain yourself first. BUT IF YOU DON'T, we are going to have words. Angry, bitter words stewed in disappointment and the tears of children.

THIS CHAPTER. Seriously. Sigh.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I dunno, I actually liked this chapter. Then again I don't have the same criteria for KHR as I have for, say, any of Naoki Urasawa's work. (VERY cerebral stuff, great artwork, great characters, great drama. Major titles are Pluto, Monster, and 20th Century Boys)

That said, I still hope this doesn't turn into the plot Psyren is already using (we know about the future, we have to fix the past...past fixed...why does future now like THIS?!...we have to re-fix past...)

I guess I do have higher standards for KHR than most shounen. I blame Amano for building them up via her consistent use of amazing crack and bizarre-yet-strangely-logical plot twists. :P After all of that, it seems like a letdown, even though I guess I should have expected this kind of thing.

Yeah, time-traveling worked well for this arc, but I hope we get a break from it after this.

If there's any more time-traveling, I vote that it's got to be to the past. :x

I SUPPORT THIS. Though I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a Government Arc, personally. :D

I was pretty underwhelmed by this. :( Byakuran, what gives? You can't flashback right before your anticlimactic defeat.

...though honestly I'm just going to be so happy to see this arc go that I almost don't care how it goes. Enough is enough! I've been checking my watch waiting for Byakuran to buy the farm & all this nonsense to see itself through for, um. Many, many months. Pick up the pace, KHR.

Pile of reaction shots was great, though you're right about Gokudera. Aaand...I loved Mukuro's the best. Because he looks somewhat alarmed, but it' very subtle & Mukuro-ish, so it sort of looks like either he's sorry about Uni & Gamma's sacrifice or he locked his keys in his car.

Ditto. It was all very abrupt and anticlimactic. I wanted him to have a more fabulous end.

But I do agree that it's about time this arc got to this point. Hopefully the epilogue will be a little more satisfying, and afterward we can finally go on to the next arc.

Heh, yeah, that's about as much emotion as we've ever gotten from him, and it's still incredibly vague. XD Oh, Mukuro.

2. And I just LOVE how Byakuran is blaming Tsuna for the death of Uni.(Because Byakuran destroying all the known universes had nothing to do with it...) Can you say "denial"?

4. Yep, Tsuna is just pissed because Byakuran cock-blocked him, that's all. His anger had absolutely nothing to with the death of Uni AND GAMMA! (Everyone seems to have forgotten that he died too. I think it's because he isn't a cute little girl.) Can you say "lolicon"?

6. The Dragonballs shall be MINE! Er, I mean, the Tri-Ni-Sette...

9. Who the hell are these women?!?! They keep poppin' up EVERYWHERE! I first started having doubts about them at the end of the Sky Battle when Xanxus asked if they where happy that he lost since it all went according to their plan(chapter 135). And who has the third sky ring? At first I thought they were talking about the Arcobaleno, but they use pacifiers right? OMG! MAYBE IT'S LONGCHAMP! (hahaha) And why the hell are they dressed as NUNS of all things? My questions are ENDLESS!

10. Byakuran better not have died so easily. And that's all I have to say about THAT.

2. He had to get in one last moment of extreme dickishness, after all.

4. Well, seeing as the entire cast was apparently in love with Uni, I guess it was inevitable that Gamma's death was more or less unnoticed. XD Poor guy.

9. What's more, they seem to think of it all as a game too, it seems. They're like walking, talking plot engines. "Let's give this guy a ring to make him a super-powerful bad guy, that should make for interesting times." BUT WHY.

10. Yeah, that was really way too anticlimactic.

omg I cracked up at the reaction shot page.

UNI'S DEAD? SOMEONE ACTUALLY DIED? IN REBORN? WHERE PLOTS ARE BUILT AROUND DEATHS THAT NEVER ACTUALLY OCCURRED, THEREBY ROBBING THE ENTIRE ARC OF ITS EMOTIONAL SIGNIFICANCE IN FAVOR OF TRITE SHOUNEN SAVE THE WORLD ANTICS? HA HA I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT :'D

Well, the'll go back in time, and Uni will be alive again.
And I guess so will be Byakkun :)

I cannot wait until the anime finally gets to that point, and we are treated to a five-minute long montage of EVERYONE'S FACES, ONE AFTER ANOTHER. "D:! D:! D:! D:! D:! D:!" And so on until the audience is so lost in hysterics that any and all emotional significance from the previous moment is ruined forever.

YAMA'S DAD IS STILL DEAD I THINK?? And I'm pretty sure Gamma at least is actually dead. Uni still remains to be seen; she might be reincarnated, but that's not quite the same as not dying. But hey, if she does end up coming back, I certainly won't complain. XD

While it (might) be the end of that fight with the Milefiore, I feel she has something up her sleeve with the whole rebirth stuff.

Byakuran just couldn't resist a little "kick then pet the dog" moment. Still hope he's gonna come back slightly less dickish in the past

/sigh

Edited 2010-03-08 03:57 (UTC)

Maybe, maybe. Although at this point, part of me actually does hope that there are no more twists planned, and the Arcos will just come back to life and Tsuna-tachi will say their goodbyes and finally head back home already. If we're going to get such an anticlimactic finale, the least Amano can do is make it brief. XD

I hope he does too. Even though Shouichi said that if you kill one Byakuran, you kill them all, he didn't mention if it applied to the current timeline only or not. I'd like to see a younger, less evil Byakuran when they all head back. He is the only villain Tsuna's actually killed, after all, and if Xanxus and Mukuro got second chances, it's only fair that he get one too.

My favorite thing about this chapter was all the facial expressions. Mostly the crazy derpy Byakuran ones lol.

This chapter felt kind of ... not as exciting? It took a while for me to realize that Byakuran was kind of, you know, dead, probably. I am more intrigued by the Cervello than I ever have been before. Where do they come from?! Why is there an endless supply of them?! WHY DO THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME???!

I eagerly await the next chapter.

They're probably the parallel world version of Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny.

lmao i can't unsee

Oh my god this is totally canon to me now. XD

The faces were pretty awesome. Although that one expression on Tsuna's face on page 6 scared the crap out of me a little. WHO IS HE AND WHAT DID HE DO WITH TSUNA. But other than that, there were a lot of lulz.

Byakuran's probably-death was really disappointing, I agree. I was expecting a much cooler end than this (big explosions don't automatically make something cool, Amano!), and was hoping for some irony or poetic justice or something, not just "[hit by good guy's attack; dies]". But I agree about the Cervello. Once again we find them pulling the strings, and I want to know why, dammit!

Same here. Partly so Amano can EXPLAIN HERSELF, and partly so we can hopefully start wrapping up the epilogue to this thing and move on.

After all of the buildup, after 140 chapters--literally half of the entire manga--and after the incredibly moving sacrifice of Uni and Gamma to revive the Arcobabies, this is how Byakuran is finally defeated? WITH A GODDAMN X BURNER?

Tsuna just needed that one last power-up, I guess. Y'know, the deaths of people he cared for, right in front of him. :|

I loved the little Byakuran flashback. :D "I may be completely unable to care for other people in any way, shape, or form, but I can at least throw myself entirely into having fun. That makes it okay, right? Right, guys?" ~~Ahaha I almost wanted to give him a hug and take him home and feed him cake for a moment, but then I remembered he'd just kill me for the lulz. Because Byakuran is still Byakuran.~~

All in all, I guess this chapter was kind of 'eh', made up for by the fact that BYAKURAN IS FINALLY DEAD, THE FIGHT'S OVER, WE CAN ALL GO HOME NOW YAY.

BUT IT WAS TOO ABRUPT. Far too abrupt. And of all the things to finally get him pissed off at Byakuran, he goes for the one thing that wasn't actually Byakuran's fault, too. XD THE LOGIC, WHERE IS IT... sigh.

Yeah, that was pretty much the only thing I really liked in this chapter. Finally we got some real insight into his insanity. It made sense, and explained his dickishness quite well. And his rationale was so messed up, it was adorable. XD

And yeah, I'm still really :| about that ending, but at least it finally is an ending. I hope. On to the epilogue, and then let's get the hell out of here.

1- From bottom right through bottom left: Bianchi, Squalo, Dino, Irie, Basil, Lal, Mukuro, Haru, Kyoko, Reborn, Chrome, Tazaru, Nosaru, Yamamoto, Hibari, Xanxus, Gokudera, Ryohei, Lambo.
...At least I'm pretty sure. I think she put Hibari and Xanxus next to each other just to freak with us.

Everything before 8- It was so hard to take this chapter seriously at first. What the hell was going on seriously. I kinda want another translation because sense was not made here.

8 & 9- The flashback was...better than the rest of the chapter. And looking back at it I think of it as something like this:
Byakuran was a normal guy who was bored with the world or something, wondering why no one else seemed to be. Then the whole thing with present!Irie happens and he gets his ~*~powers~*~. Then two pink haired ladies tell him that there's a ~*~*special ring*~*~ that only he can use and he becomes his own biggest fan, deciding that, "Hey! If I have the power to do this shit why don't I have FUN with it?" So he decided to take over the world. I'm also guessing that he's never loved anyone before or doesn't understand it or something.

ALSO, about the Cervello, this is the second time they've show up at the end of an arc saying something to the villain. Curious....

About your 2 points, it'd be interesting if Tsuna does have generation jumping powers naturally (maybe that's where his and Giotto's hair similarities come from?). And I think the situation with Byakuran's more that it's his powers that let him use the Mare ring, so yeah, not the other way around. And the world jumping thing probably freaked with his view on everything because just one parallel world was so small compared to all of them, therefore one life was not important at all, not even thousands, etc.

...This comment is getting ranty.

10- *SAD*. This end was so wrong to me. The only good thing is that he made his ^_^ face in the end but. lksdhsjgsffs. I was prepared for the X-Burner ending because...I figured. (And to be fair it was an X-Burner powered by the shiny new ring and his resolve of "AVENGE UNIIIIIII"?) But it was so FAST and....I'm kinda mad at how it's being taken. Did Tsuna just really KILL him? Not that the guy didn't deserve it but um. Mukuro kinda deserved it. Maybe even Xanxus. So what's up with that? I just don't think that's very fair =/ Or okay for Tsuna to be doing considering he's TSUNA. And I mean come on, Kyoko and Haru are watching. It's one thing to see someone be killed in front of you, it's another to see your friend kill someone. Hell, even Goku and Yama and Ryohei should be taken aback. (At least in my opinion o.o; )
Andandand I'm really bad for this but gosh I miss Byakuran already D'8

Hibari and Xanxus are easy enough, because Xanxus has the scars and all, but Gokudera and Basil are still weirding me out. Part of me is still not sure, and I feel like I won't be whole until I can make up my mind. XDDD

Yeah, the vast majority of this chapter was pretty much just one big action mish-mosh. Not what I'm reading this for, though hey, this is still shounen, so it comes with the territory.

IT WAS. By far my favorite part of the chapter; really the only part I actually enjoyed. What I took from his explanation was that he was actually normal once upon a time, but once he realized there were infinite parallel worlds and that he could be in all of them at once if he so chose, he completely lost sync with reality and started to feel like nothing really mattered because when you've got billions of universes to choose from, it doesn't particularly matter what happens in any given one of them. "I'm just a consciousness (I'm assuming that was meant to be 'consciousness', not 'conscience') programmed into a game"; in other words, humans are just the universe's playthings. And then when the Cervello came along and offered the ring, like you said, he figured he might as well have fun with it, because if none of it matters, then why the hell not?

And yeah, the Cervello always seem to be the ones pulling the strings lately. I'm really dying to know more about them.

AND THIS ENDING. :| Way too abrupt. I don't mind that Tsuna killed him (it's not his first time killing someone; there was also Torikabuto), but the way it happened felt very cheap, and as a reader I felt incredibly cheated. When you have the sense that almost any one of the series's fans could have written a better ending on the spot, to see it happen like this is just disappointing.

Sigh. Maybe we'll get to see a younger Byakuran once they all return to the past. A pre-crazy Byakuran that they can all be friends with or something. XD

Ah we'll find out in the anime anyway (if they keep the order) XDD

It was almost like someone else wrote this chapter, but then Amano wrote the flash back. And then that other person came back and killed Byakuran.

Yeah, that makes sense. Byakuran's interesting because while one can't really feel sorry for him, what happened does explain why he would do what he's done. Doesn't exactly justify it but it makes sense.

Particularly when they're pulling the stings is interesting too; they didn't show up in the Mukuro arc but they were there judging the ring battle, "working for" Irie, judging Choice and they told Byakuran about the Mare ring. Which gets me thinking that they have a lot of involvement in where parts of the trinisette go. But whyyyyy?

Oh yeah Torikabuto. Forgot about him. But wasn't he sort of not human? Ah w/e XD It did feel cheap though, too rushed, too...un-khr-like, like you said. I only got expected it this way because after the arcobaleno filler arc in the anime and seeing the X-Burner used trial after trial, I was used to it already. But it would have been nice if it was different.

Ahaha that would be great 8D Though I'd hope he'd still have the same personality.

Also, really random, but where the hell is Spanner? And I-pin, for that matter?

Heh, I guess. Either way, the anime version is going to be hilarious.

YES. Oh wow it's exactly like that. Pages 12 and 13 are classic Amano and do so much in so little space to flesh out Byakuran at long last (granted, his motivations are simple enough that they can be summed up as "I did it for the lulz", but still). But the rest of it reads like a chapter written by someone who was pretty much just plagiarizing off his "Shounen 101" textbook.

Yeah, there's a certain logic to it, even if it's a totally fucked up logic. And I can't help but like the guy; he almost reminds me like Light in Death Note; yeah, he's a complete dick, but all the same you can't help but be a little fond of him.

Interesting point; the 7^3 are the one thing tying all of the Cervello's appearances together. WHAT ARE THEY PLANNING, DAMMIT.

Yeah, I didn't really count Tori as human either. XD But he was still a living(?), breathing(??), thinking thing... kind of. Sort of? Okay, he was a little vague. But either way, it's very odd that Tsuna's made at least one and possibly two kills, and hasn't reacted at all the way I'd figure he would have. HE MUST REALLY HAVE LOVED UNI, man I don't even know. However you look at it, Byakuran got the short end of the villain stick.

He definitely has to have the same personality. And then they can all be like, "YOU!!!" and he'll be all, "Me? ♪" and they'll all flip out and it'll be good times. |D

They're... somewhere. Around.

Of course, especially with all the time it'll take to get through all the faces.

Yup, yup. It's really strange too. I wonder why she was able to make the flashback so nice (not that I'm complaining) when the rest was so...blah.

I feel the same XDD Mostly because of his happiness. I've compared him to Light a few times too, lol.

All I hope is that whatever they're planing will be epic 8D

LOL yeah, 'cause I was thinking, maybe if he's not human Tsuna's hyper intuition wouldn't have told him HEY STOP YOU'RE GONNA KILL HIM. (Oh that explains why he would have needed Chrome's help at that time too). But killing Byakuran was...off.

XDD That would be so great<3

Hope we see Spanner at least once before they're in the past D8

-sighs- I guess we both have higher standards for shounen manga like KHR. ^^; Whenever the beginning works so well, we always expect it to maintain it's momentum.

Still, I have hope, as small and disintegrated as it is.

Yeah. I got my expectations up too high; Amano seemed to be building up to something much grander than a super-powered X-Burner. After everything that's happened in this arc, it was a serious letdown.

There's still potential for the epilogue to redeem things, since the Arco will be revived soon, and maybe we'll finally get a few more explanations. And I did like Byakuran's flashback, abbreviated though it was; it was nice to see that at last. All in all, I'm disappointed right now, but as long as Amano still manages to do the aftermath gracefully, I don't think there's any lasting harm done.

I dunno...I had mixed feelings about this chapter. For the most part I was reminded about how much I disliked Byakuran as a villain in general. I thought he was pretty weak character wise. It was pretty weird when he started to talk about how much he disliked humanity and stuff especially since we never really got to hear it all before.

I liked the abrupt end with the X-Burner. It's so simple and quick. Now we can move onto the next arc XD

His rant in the first half of the chapter made absolutely no sense to me and I can only assume Amano pulled it out of her ass to fill up some page space. XD But I did really enjoy his flashback towards the end; it finally confirmed a lot of things that I've always suspected about him (his disconnection from reality, his sense that nothing really matters because there are infinite universes and it's all just "a game" in the end, and his desire to enjoy that game while it lasts), and even though it was just a couple of pages, I felt like it finally fleshed out his character fully. And of course, it also featured the Cervello, which was awesome.

I hated the abrupt end, lol, but I am glad the arc is finally ending. I wish the end had been more appropriate given all the build-up, but if we're finally moving to the epilogue and the next arc, I sure won't complain about that. XD

My reaction to the end of the chapter was this: "So wait.... did Tsuna actually kill someone??????"

The first page had me confused, too, with all the faces. And then she left out Fuuta? Because there's a panel of him separately later - or am I just seeing things now ~~because they all look the same~~?

The finishing off Byakuran with an X Burner of all things made me laugh. "Only the Guardians from the past have the ability to defeat him!" Seems to me TYL Tsuna just got really lazy and wanted to harass his younger self.

He actually killed Torikabuto way back in chapter... 262 I think it was? So it's not the first time, though Byakuran counts a bit more, I think (Tori was... weird XD).

I still haven't 100% decided if that's Gokudera on the left, or Basil. Sob. And I thought I spotted Fuuta later on too, but I got confused for the same reason as you (pretty sure he's not there on page 2). IT'S SO HARD TO TELL WITH THOSE CLOSE-UPS.

I really can't believe it came to that of all things in the end. How to defeat Byakuran, Destroyer of Worlds and Laugher-Offer of All Previous Attempts to Blow Him Up: Blow him up! OH MY GOD IT WAS SO SIMPLE ALL ALONG! I want to slap my forehead and then smack Amano upside the head and then go and smack Tsuna upside the head for good measure too. XD And yeah, I agree; this whole arc suddenly seems like a really epic practical joke TYL!Tsuna decided to play for the lulz.

Lol, I totally forgot about Torikabuto. I think I thought he was like a mosca or something, since he was so gigantic and we never saw his face or something. Clearly, I fail.

OR MAYBE - the entire series is one giant practical joke set up by Primo and added onto by the various bosses that followed. And the next arc will be set a few years into the future and be about Tsuna starting his own practical joke plans for the 20th boss. At this point I'm willing to suspect anything is possible.

Lol, well like I said, I'm not sure he even counts. XD He might as well have been a mosca, really.

Oh man, I would kill to see Tsuna going about trolling the future Vongola generations. "IF I HAD TO PUT UP WITH IT, YOU GUYS DO TOO."

"IF I HAD TO PUT UP WITH IT, YOU GUYS DO TOO."

And so the vicious cycle continues! Amano is now set for life with this series if she follows this outline.

This is the tragic fate of the Vongola.

....They only bring it on themselves????

Indeed. A self-inflicted nonstop cycle of hilarious torment.

IF ONLY THEY HAD A DECENT VONGOLA THERAPIST. But they probably just rent Shamal or something. I guess that means Daniela was the only well-adjusted boss in Vongola history.

And thank goodness for it, otherwise we would have no manga.

THEY'RE MAFIOSO, THEY DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' THERAPISTS! And yet, she didn't do anything to stop the prank. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if she added the cruelest bit to it. It's always the ones that look the most normal....

oh you guys. Who the fuck are you. <3
THIS SFM

I don't even remember reading this chapter...then I read this and remembered the crajee Byakuran flashback and was like...oh, so it's supposed to be ridiculous IT'S REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE RIDICULOUS BYAKURAN YOU JUST SAID THE PLOT OF THIS ENTIRE ARC IS RIDICULOUS. Oh.

And then wtf at Tsuna defeating him with just his x-burner...maybe all the "wtf Byakuran" WAS supposed to be the build up...? But we were too busy going '???' to treat it like an actual build up. Or something @_@ And what did Primo do anyways, WHAT CHAINS!? WAS IT THE PART WHEN TSUNA BECAME ALL BADASS ALL OF A SUDDEN? What the shit...
And I have to say I liked the joint sacrifice panel but was that really necessary? Did Gamma just die for the sake of dying? Or are they going to be revived and everything? When they go back to the past will they be there? Or. What. sdglkdsahglskdahg. I will also await the next chapter like :|

SERIOUSLY, THIS MYSTERY IS GETTING OLD.

Lol. XD Yeah, basically Byakuran created the entire plot of this arc just for the lulz. Wow.

I still can't see it as build-up, no matter how I try. XD IT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. And Primo basically just upgraded their rings so Tsuna and co. could use their full power, which is apparently what he meant by taking away their shackles. Which... HOLY SHIT. This was Tsuna's true power all along? That's actually really scary.

I think Gamma just died so that Uni wouldn't have to die alone, which is pretty heartbreaking. ;_; I assume they'll still be there in the past (for that matter, I'm keeping my fingers crossed Byakuran'll still be around too... >_>), but who knows. Bring on 281 (or actually, since it's already out, bring on that scanlation so I can read it XD).

Man, I had serious trouble finding Gokudera in the trauma face panel. Then I realized that the girl Xanxus and Ryohei was not really a girl. Not to mention that Kyouko looks more like a boy than Gokudera does. WAT.

See, having Byakuran taken out by a bloody X burner makes me wish for the bad ending again, even if I did like the Vongola Ring upgrade TM. WTF, Amano?! How could you go from dramatic and tragic death to the STUPIDEST WAY POSSIBLE for the main villain to kick the bucket? HOW?!

It seems to me that if you make everything black and white and then zoom in really close on everyone's faces, Kyoko, Gokudera, and Basil all appear to have been separated at birth. It is bizarre.

I'm with you there; the bad end would have been a lot more interesting (and we would have finally learned more about the damned 7^3 already). The ring upgrade was unquestionably awesome, but I'm still annoyed that it altered things this drastically (Tsuna goes from not being able to hurt Byakuran at all to disintegrating him with a single energy blast? WHAT). And the main villain for the last 140 chapters gets all of two pages' worth of flashback when all is said and done. Way to be generous, Amano. XD

Isn't it just? How is it that Kyoko manages time and time again too look more like a boy than Gokudera? All of a sudden, I can see 2759 simply because in my headcanon, Tsuna is straight and Gokudera is probably the closest he can get to a girl. XD ... Okay, maybe it's not quite that bad, but it's getting there.

BTW, why is Hibari having a reaction? Don't tell me that Uni managed to sway even him! XD ~~This could count for Xanxus as well.... XD~~

One could have hoped. Considering all that stuff she's pulled before this? I was expecting something crazy awesome. Instead, I got something boring. I suppose the moral of the story is: Don't be a dick, if you are, Amano will make you kick the bucket in a rather embarassing way.
