Oh, ILU.
I thought I was the one who looked at Gokudera at chapter 32 and thought, poor kid, Amano really likes him to have it rough. And the fact that it was supposed to be funny is to put it mildly, creepy.
Now then, I put my hand on your shoulder if you’re up for Dera’s UNHAPPY N ANGTSY past to remain like it was, because now, on top of a pulled out of the ass, full of holes explanation he’s the dude who’s been emoing his whole life over a misunderstanding. Was this even needed? Couldn’t Bianchi, if it SOOO needed, just state that Gokupapa loved Gokumama? He love her but he still had her killed because he had a wife and it’s mafia, son, and it broke his heart OH TEH ANGST BRING IT ON. It would be, at least, a little more, uh, believable?
The top five best scenes: oh the third one, recalled it and shuddered all over once again, the sheer level of adrenalin, testosterone and concentrated badassery injected in a single panel/line, Amano, you, just. Um, yeah. I really like that scene too. And brownie points to Amano for the uncanny ability to draw Dera super hot when you least expect that, so you inevitably start foaming a little in the mouth and babble something doubtfully intelligent.
…I know that it’s hardly one of the best scenes, but Yamamoto’s revenge with Genkishi gets me every. single. time. I could care less about Genkishi himself or the choice game, but Yamamoto’s distilled awesomeness turns me to jelly. It was his first appearance since Amano fully switched to her third drawing style, and, contrary to several other characters, I prefer this design of him the best. Aside from that, remember, that I-M-GOING-TO-TAKE-THE-WORLD-DOWN-AND-HAVE-FUN-WHILE-DOING-IT look, those concentrated eyes, damn it- the suit! And the bottom panel from this page http://www.onemanga.com/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/246/03/ , the one where he’s juggling his sword, is hands down my favorite Yamamoto’s panel EVER. The Bluetooth, the look, the fingers SCREW YOU JAMES BOND YOU DON’T STAND A CHANCE.
COYOTE FUCKING NOUGAT. THIS. I’m going to call him like that for the rest of my life oh god oh god oh god this is so brilliant I could cry. These three words together are beautiful.
And I was pleased to read 5 things you’ve learned from the fandom \o/ I suppose in terms of fandom interactions and tolerance Reborn fandom stands out a lot, I can’t even recall a single major pairing wank, each one I’ve encountered was already mocked by the picked by of the fandom in the best DUDE YOU’RE TAKING IT TOO SERIOUSLY GO PULL THAT STICK OUT OF YOUR ASS way. Probably because the fandom itself doesn’t take itself too seriously most of the time?
And yeah, Rule 34. Full stop.
I suggest five things you’d like to be said in Reborn should be written in a pretty kanji after being translated to Japanese, and sent to Amano. Who knows, maybe one of her assistants is curious and manipulative? You never know until you try.
