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
