Whoa, chapter 303 is out already.

1. Holy shit. TSUNA WHEN DID YOU BECOME A MAN. *_* From my estimation, at least half the population of
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
2. HEY LOOK, IT'S A PAGE OF ODD ANGLES. I don't recall the Shimon family being situated so incredibly high up in the last chapter, but maybe I was distracted by Adelheid's boobs? Actually, what am I saying. We were all distracted by Adelheid's boobs. I should just be grateful I can remember anything that happened last week.
Also, I don't know if these events here were meant to be as amusing as they were, but seriously. First the Vindice start evaporating into thin air, then Tsuna gasps, "OMG THEY'RE DISAPPEARING!" and then the Vindice pause in mid-vanishing act in order to bitch at him that unlike some OTHER mysterious organizations, they don't waste time refereeing this shit. Having cleared that up, they randomly declare that THE WINNER OF THIS BATTLE SHALL BE THE FAMILY WHICH RETAINS THEIR PRIDE!! and then with a poof of smoke and a rattling of chains, they are gone. I now feel slightly ridiculous for having ever been frightened of them.
And if this really is a battle of pride, I have some quick advice for Tsuna: One, GET RID OF LAMBO. And two, HURRY AND PULL DOWN ENMA'S PANTS AGAIN. That's his weak spot! (He already looks nervous, even, you can tell!) Come on, you can do it!
3. The pride thing continues to be hilarious. XD First of all, on the top panel of this page, ALL OF THEM HAVE ALREADY FREAKING LOST. And then Tsuna starts freaking out because "I DON'T HAVE ANY MAFIA PRIDE!!!1" And Enma's all like, "Bitch, don't even start with that."
Then the real awesomeness of this page happens, though, because out of nowhere, Adelheid starts rambling about pride using big and unwieldy words in an attempt to hide the fact that what she is saying basically makes no fucking sense. "IN BATTLE, THE PRIDE YOU PLACE AT STAKE SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE RULES." ...What does that even mean.
You can see that is the very question the Vongola are asking themselves on the following page, glancing at each other in confusion, their faces plainly saying, "WHAT THE HELL IS SHE GOING ON ABOUT?" AND THEN IT GETS EVEN BETTER, because Adelheid continues to blab like someone set her exposition switch on hyperdrive, her boobs swollen to the size of mountains while Gokudera and Tsuna stare up in bewildered horror and declare, "WHAT!?" And ladies and gentleman, the only conclusion I can draw from all of this is that Amano wrote the first half of this chapter while high as a fucking kite. I am laughing so hard my sides hurt.
ETA: Okay, IEM's version is out now and Adelheid's speech makes a lot more sense in their translation; I definitely recommend it to everyone. However, I'm not editing any of the links in this post because Binktopia/MS's version is still funnier. |D
4. Perhaps sensing that with Enma's dignity being rapidly drained by his lame villainous speeches, there is an opening for Chief of the Dicks looming on the horizon, Nametwin boldly announces his intention to ravish Chrome. Yes, because that's what this chapter was really lacking, Julie. A bit more rape. Thank you so much for that.
Was he actually trying to piss off Tsuna, though? Because if that's the case, mission fucking accomplished. It seems they were unaware that Tsuna packed his angry eyes, just in case. Dear Shimon Family: I guess we forgot to tell you guys, but they already fixed the rings. I know it seems like that happened really fast, but that's just because it did.
And hey, cool, little boss has got his own weird orbit thingies now!
5. Wow, Enma, that wasn't suggestive at all. So tell us, will you be doing that waiting with or without clothes?
6. CURSES! A WALL! OUR LONGTIME NEMESIS STRIKES AGAIN!
Since this page is not animated, I have to supply most of the sound and images myself, and the preeminent scene in my mind is one of Tsuna bouncing from corner to corner like a tiny mafia pinball, leaving little jet streams behind him and making little "poom! poom!" noises. No one told me this chapter was going to be so amazing.
7. And then like two seconds later, he's back with a report. "There's no sign of them, and this island is a lot bigger than I thought! I orbited it a few times and zigzagged through it in a grid pattern and then stopped to do some pushups and then finally came back here all in the span of about five minutes because I am just that fast you guys, but basically it's no use. And I could really use a taco or something now; man, I'm starved."
Gokudera happily declares that Tsuna is fucking awesome, and for once he's not exaggerating. And for once, Tsuna doesn't even try to be modest, and they spend the next few moments smugly patting each other on the back for being gods in human form. Aww.
8. NOOOOOOOOOOO
LAMBO DIDN'T GET AN UPGRADE YET?! WHAT IS THIS. I WANTED TO SEE HIS UPGRADE SO BADLY NOOOOOOO.
And for some reason they all act like this has only just occurred to them. YOU GUYS! YOU SUCK!! Why did they even bring him then drlksjdafkjsdaljk seriously, guys.
At least Amano doesn't need four whole weeks to do a timeskip. She can jump five hours in the span of two panels.
9. SUDDENLY...!
AOBA KOUYOU APPEARS OUT OF THE FREEZING MIST!
"Aoba Kouyou! Is this his doing?" I swear to God everybody left all their brain cells back on the boat.
10. "Why are you doing this, Kouyou?!" "Eh, because I hate you guys." And it seems like everyone in the Shimon family has taken the same classes in pompous villain speechmaking that Enma has. I can't wait to see Shitt P fight Gokudera and declare that human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.
But who even cares about that because OH MY GOD RYOHEI IS GETTING AN EPIC MOMENT. FUCK. YES. DING DING!
You guys, I am losing the battle to say anything even remotely intelligent about these last two pages. I'm just like, "HAHAHAHA!" and "WHEEE!" and "DERP" over here. WHERE'S RYOHEI'S POWERUP, I WANT TO SEE IT. NEXT WEEK, GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW. I'M WAITING.
Man, it's been so long since we had a ridiculous shounen one-on-one battle that I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed all of the stupid adrenaline. Having things blow up every once in a while is good. As long as there's still plot to follow afterward, which for now, I will hope.

All Enma needs to do is bring Kyoko to the battle field and then kick Tsuna's ass in front of her. /seriously wonders how this pride thing will work XDDDD
Julie.....just. Oh, Julie.
AND GOD YES RYOHEI VS AOBA I CANNOT WAIT. THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MANLY THE NEXT CHAPTER WOULD EXPLODE.

OH LORD. WHAT LITTLE PRIDE HE DOES HAVE WOULD CURL UP IN A BALL AND SHRIVEL AWAY FOREVER. Kyoko would probably kick Enma's ass afterward, though. XD
Julie.....just. Oh, Julie.
Yeeeep. Though the way he keeps on bragging about it, I'm starting to wonder if he really does intend to do anything. We have yet to see him actually do anything other than talk. MAYBE HE JUST LIKES PISSING PEOPLE OFF AND LISTENING TO THE SOUND OF HIS OWN VOICE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MANLY THE NEXT CHAPTER WOULD EXPLODE.
I AM GOING TO BRING MY SUNGLASSES AND MY FLAME-RETARDANT SUIT AND LOTS AND LOTS OF POPCORN. IT'S ON.
You totally know that when the Shitt P vs Gokudera match finally does happen, it's going to be so epic that even the cover page for this chapter will be jealous. That is going to be the fight. OF ALL TIME.
no subject
I like that the Shimon family seems to be running at Normal Shounen Villain Speed (albeit they seem to have left their common sense behind) and the Vongola kids are like fifteen chapters ahead of schedule. XD
Wow, Enma, that wasn't suggestive at all. So tell us, will you be doing that waiting with or without clothes?
Tsuna/Enma gets more and more canon every chapter, I swear. Sorry, Kyoko. :(
I swear to God everybody left all their brain cells back on the boat.
this is a fairly accurate summation of the chapter, I think.
OH MY GOD RYOHEI IS GETTING AN EPIC MOMENT. FUCK. YES.
. . . at least except for this bit. FUCK YEAH RYOHEI. \o/
no subject
Tsuna/Enma gets more and more canon every chapter, I swear.
It really does. Even when they're fighting for PRIDE they're constantly making overtures toward one another.
At least Amano managed to get the "for maximum enjoyment of this chapter, please turn your brains off" message across fairly efficiently. I'M WILLING TO COMPLY, I SUPPOSE.
MAIN CHARACTER!RYOHEI IS MY GODDAMN FAVORITE. HE MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING.

Adelheid's blabbing - all I could think was 'wow, it would not take much effort to manip that into a titty f*ck'.
Lambo'll get his upgrade soon. Soon. And it'll be epic. WE'LL JUST HAVE TO TELL HIM HE CAN'T EAT MAMAN'S COOKING ANYMORE.
I was like 'no don't cut me off' at the end! I want to see Ryohei all bad assed out!
no subject
'wow, it would not take much effort to manip that into a titty f*ck'.
HARDLY ANY EFFORT AT ALL. That was completely done on purpose.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO TELL HIM HE CAN'T EAT MAMAN'S COOKING ANYMORE.
Exactly! Just mention the 'm' word and he completely flips his shit. I thought we established this in the Future Arc already. They're just making excuses. (Either that, or Amano's going to wait until the rest of them lose and the Vindice come back to haul all their asses to prison, at which point Lambo panics and that's what triggers his ring upgrade.)
I want to see Ryohei all bad assed out!
ME TOO. I guess they're trying to give us some incentive for reading next week. As if we wouldn't have already. XD
no subject
Tsuna's "I don't have any Mafia pride! D:" was the most hilarious part of this chapter, to me.
I think Adelheid's destiny is to become a teacher, maybe of philosophy or something. Everyone attends her lecture courses & understands nothing, but enjoys staring at her breasts for the duration of class. Instead of taking notes on the lecture, they take notes on the fluctuation of her breast size and how it corresponds to the fluctuation of her coherency.
...and, yeah. Why did they bring Lambo? There's no evidence to suggest to them that he's there to do anything except slow them down & be in danger by virtue of being a toddler with way less power than anyone else on the island. Of course, we know
I hopethat he'll get his own version of Vongola Gear soon enough and have some kind of epically shonen I Will Fight Too And Be Awesome For Once Dammit moment. But the Vongola don't have a history of being genre savvy. That'd be dangerously close to actually, you know, planning a strategy based on their situation, which is not the Vongola Way.no subject
If that is not the title of the next chapter, I will be so disappointed.
Yeah, the monologuing is boring as hell, and vengeance seems to have significantly dulled all of their personalities. They did better when they had something specific to gripe about--YOUR FAMILY BETRAYED OUR BELOVED BOSS! THIS IS THE VENGEANCE WE HAVE SUFFERED FOR FOR GENERATIONS!--as opposed to this generic "you suck, we hate you, THERE IS BUT ONE ROAD, WE SEEK BUT ONE GOAL" bullshit that they appear to be pulling out of their asses nowadays.
I just about died at that part. I think the only way he could have possibly panicked more would have been if the Vindice had announced that they were going to settle this with a math duel.
I would take that class. XD
And yeah, there is just no reason at all for Lambo to be there. They can't even use the "but he's a guardian too!" argument because they're already down by half their guardians anyway. Plot-wise, it's obvious that he is going to play some important role, like you said, but given that they don't know that, they really have no excuse.
I'm betting Reborn just took him along to use as a distraction for the Shimon family if and when Tsuna and the others need to make a quick getaway.

About the odd angles, I am actually fond of Amano's abilities. Perspective is a bitch, when drawing. ;_;

1. Ooh, that's a good idea. *_*
2. I MEANT IN A PLATONIC WAY BUT FEEL FREE TO TAKE THAT COMMENT AS SUGGESTIVELY AS YOU LIKE. It's not like Enma's making it particularly difficult.
She is good at the perspectives, yes. But it catches me off-guard when she does it out of the blue like that.
3. I've been wondering if IEM's version will make any more sense. Looking forward to seeing their translation.
10. That was Agent Smith from The Matrix, actually. I think. XD But anyway, yeah, THAT IS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST BATTLE OF ALL TIME.

1. Unf. That's basically my thoughts on that. *continues drooling*
2. I thought it was hilarious that the Vindice had to clarify they weren't refereeing.
3. I was too busy looking at Adelheid's boobs to be bothered to try and comprehend what she was saying.
almost typed busy as busty, good god XD4. Maybe Julie's been taking lessons from Byakuran.
5. I hate to admit it, but there was some serious eyelash-batting going on, there.
6. I seriously laughed for at least a full minute because I had not thought of THE WALL until you mentioned it.
7. Gokudera also saw the cover page, I bet.
10. The next chapter is going to be EXTREME in all the best senses of the word. Next week next week next week :DDD
OH AND NOW I WANT TO SEE GOKUDErA FIGHT SHITTOPI THE EVIL UMA EVEN MORE NOW.
AND THROW HER OUT AN AIRLOCK OR SOME THING LIKE IN ALIENS, DAMMIT, EVEN IF THAT MAKES NO SENSE.no subject
3. On page 6, especially. I barely even skimmed the text on that page during my first go-around. XD
4. Lol, the thought had occurred to me. So many people gunning for your title these days, Byakuran.
5. I don't see how anyone could interpret that expression in any other way than, "Tsuna, if you manage to pass all of our bullshit tests and traps and battles and stuff, come find me and we'll get it on."
6. CURSE THAT WALLLL.
10. DEFINITELY.
And hell, we can find a way to MAKE it make sense.no subject
One, GET RID OF LAMBO. And two, HURRY AND PULL DOWN ENMA'S PANTS AGAIN.
Somehow on the first read I managed to conflate the two into Lambo pulling down Enma's pants. And now I can't unsee it. :|
Adelheid continues to blab like someone set her exposition switch on hyperdrive, her boobs swollen to the size of mountains
I have decided that Enma has to be using his freaky gravity powers to keep Adelheid's boobs from toppling her over.
I want fic of this.5 - I. Okay, they were cute failbuddies, but this is the first time I have actually shipped it. What the hell is that face, Enma. XD
God, I am so excited for Ryouhei's extreme powerup, I've missed the attacks of concentrated shounen awesome. Soexcitedfornextweekomg.
no subject
I second your mental headcanon of a rivalry between the Vindice and the Cervello. WHICH SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME MYSTERIOUS SECRET ORGANIZATION IS THE BEST? They're always trying to outdo the other, and probably some of them secretly date each other on the side because that's what all the best rivals do.
Lambo should have done that! He could have finally proven how invaluable to the group he really is.
I have decided that Enma has to be using his freaky gravity powers to keep Adelheid's boobs from toppling her over.
I love that this actually makes a sort of logical sense. That it's possible for there to actually be a canon explanation for those things not putting her in the hospital.
Even if it would never happen, I want fic of it now too. XDTHAT IS HIS "HEY THERE BOYFRIEND, I HATE YOU NOW BUT I STILL THINK YOU'RE KINDA HOT" FACE. I THINK. I LIKE IT.
The entire next chapter turned out to be SO INCREDIBLY SHOUNEN that if I had held the chapter in my hands instead of reading it online, I'm fairly certain it would have spontaneously caught fire.
no subject
More importantly....WHEN DID YOU STEAL PRIMO'S AWESOME COAT OF HOTNESS AND DOOOOOOOOOM?!
Oh your nametwin is such a tease (read closet rapist) D:
go Ryohei! DEFEAT POISON IVY-I MEAN AOBA! I'm guessing his flame is...the flame of...plants? Flora? But then how'd he pull of the "artic wind?" i am confuzzled x_x
Cervello come back! All is forgiven! You're right...I think the more Vindice talk, the less they become fearsome. I mean, the dementors never spoke, they just went *imitates the sound from the grudge horror movie* uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggaaaaaaahhhhhhhhstopsmilingandgimmeyoursoulnow
I'm not gonna lie, I read Adel's reason for pride TWICE....AND THEN A THIRD TIME...cuz i was speed reading and suddenly a small part in my brain went "wait, that wasn't even logical by shonen standards." my guess is that much like the brain cells of the vongola were left in the boat (or perhaps in the future) all of Adel's brain cells are now going to her boobs...hence their inflation every chapter. yes, yes that is what i believe XD
no subject
I KNOW RIGHT. Way to give us good PR, Julie.
I'm guessing his flame is...the flame of...plants?
You totally called it, or close enough, anyway. Congrats! (Though now I'm wondering about the arctic wind thing too...)
I think the more Vindice talk, the less they become fearsome. I mean, the dementors never spoke
I think you've just uncovered the real secret to being a terrifying demon prison guard. Forget keeping your face covered and possessing an aura of general omninousness--the real trick is to just keep your mouth shut.
Makes me wonder if people would still be terrified of Hibari if he expositioned as much as Adelheid does.
The pride thing made a lot more sense once IEM helpfully cleared it up for everyone, but given that everyone's intelligence is still very much in question otherwise, I support the brain-sucking boobs theory. XD

IEM definitely has the better translator, though I'd argue that Binktopia might have a slight advantage when it comes to the cleaning (though that's not as important). BUT ANYWAY, YES. It feels almost surreal to watch Ryohei get an epic fight that lasts more than one chapter and that he might actually get to win (since the Varia arc, his track record's been even worse than Gokudera's). HE CAN DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN GIVE LAMBO PIGGYBACK RIDES! It's amazing how long it apparently took Amano to remember this. XD
no subject
2- and then the Vindice pause in mid-vanishing act in order to bitch at him that unlike some OTHER mysterious organizations, they don't waste time refereeing this shit.
It's like they read our minds. And I love them for it (and Amano for it XD)
3- What's sad is I noticed while Adelheid was blabbing that there were 2 nice, pretty panels of her face and I almost got hopeful...and then next page that chest is bigger than ever. 8| And her finger's in the middle, fdkhgs I don't even.
4- I would find it great if Julie was bullshiting the whole thing. HE STILL FED CHROME. I won't forget that!
YAY FOR MATCHING ORBITS BETWEEN RIVALS!(????)
6- Thank you, that page is now a thousand times more hilarious. He's just like, "WALL?! /SLAM"
10- I can't wait to see Shitt P fight Gokudera and declare that human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.
*DIES* That's going to be amazing. And hilarious. And somehow really sad. Poor Nerdera and his hopes and dreams 8'C (I think my theory that Shitt P was bullshiting the "I CAN'T SPEAK WORDS CALL ME SHITTOPI-CHAN" thing might come true)
Also, duuuude Aoba's shirt exploded. While he was rejusting his glasses. I-I love this series fdkgksjgs
*Excited for next week like crazy*

2. They got dangerously close to the fourth wall there, too. I was very strongly reminded of Fran for a moment.
3. Unfortunately, in the end the boobs are always there. Watching. Waiting. And the finger was just like, REALLY, AMANO? REALLY?
4. My headcanon right now is that Julie is one of those deluded stalkers who honestly believes that the girl he stalks and kidnaps is actually in love with him. "I CAN'T WAIT, YOU GUYS. WHEN THIS IS OVER, CHROME AND I ARE GOING TO GET MARRIED."
6. "NO! NOT AGAIN! NOT AGAAAAAAAAINNNN." Fucking walls.
10. Among many other things, I am looking forward to Gokudera calling her Shittopi-chan in front of all the others when he fights her. I will just die. XD Especially if your theory proves true afterward.
Also, duuuude Aoba's shirt exploded.
SOMETHING HE AND RYOHEI HAVE IN COMMON. I CONCUR WITH YOUR SERIES LOVE.

You know, I really really want to see Chrome kick Julie's ass but somehow what I want to see even more is Julie waltzing happily into his room and finding Mukuro lounging around on his bed like he owns it. There might be grapes involved. And Piña Coladas. With little paper umbrellas.

3- Well SHIT, if this retarded rule of "YOU FIGHT WITH YOUR PRIDE ON THE LINE" is seriously in effect, then Hibari has already LOST before this chapter! And how the fuck do the Vindice know who's Pride is victorious or not? Do they have a goddamn Pride-o-Meter?!
Then again, this is the gay mafia...4- Dammit Stalker!Julie, I wanna stab you with Mukuro's Trident EVEN MORE NOW. I hope Chrome/Mukuro double-team you to beat the shit out of you and mindfuck you into ten years later.
6- Tsuna pulled a Yama and got Wall'd. Also he's now Decimo the fucking Human JET. "Look, I can go ZOOOOOM!"
Now I want him going around making the silly flying noises Freakazoid made.XD7- Gokudera fucking CHANNELED Yama when he went "LOL Tenth your new Gear is AWESOME. |D"
10- That must be the Shimon's favorite excuse to use as 'motivation': "I just hate you guys because you're Vongola, even though you were nice and fun-loving and happy around us. THEREFORE I KEEL YOU!" Blah, so laaaame.
10b- The one thing I DID like was how betrayed Ryohei felt as a boxer, especially when Aoba said that he's never given a shit about sportsmanship. That has to be blasphemy to someone as EXTREMELY loyal and honorable as Ryohei (who still got some sexy SERIOUS RYOHEI in). THIS FIGHT WILL BE AWESOME TO THE EXTREME OF EXTREMES!
Okay... time to go pass out now. Guess I'll sleep until the next chapter is out...
no subject
4. You just know some sort of horrible poetic justice is lying in wait for Julie somewhere along the line. I almost don't want to imagine it. XD
6. It's only a matter of time before Tsuna's flying speed reaches the point where he starts to make little sonic booms.
7. I love how they're all his groupies.
10. Lame, but amusing in its sheer ridiculousness. And dude, I felt offended when Aoba dissed sportsmanship like that. I can't even imagine the EXTREME RAGE! it must have ignited in Ryohei. I really hope he takes it to him soon, Aoba needs a good ass-kicking.
Hope you did get some rest, lol. :)
no subject
I have to admit that Adelheid's boobs distracted me from realizing that what she said isn't making any goddamn sense. And I do wonder what the heck Amano was on when deciding that the deciding factor of this fight is PRIDE, of all things. She never ceases to amaze the shit out of me.
Apparently Aoba can control freaky blood-drinking man-eating plants. For someone with a name that means "green leaves red leaves", we really shouldn't have been surprised.

I have to admit that Adelheid's boobs distracted me from realizing that what she said isn't making any goddamn sense.
Then they have done their job. |D
The pride thing, I have to admit, intrigues me a lot more after the more coherent translation. Now I'm really curious to see what kind of rules/stakes the other characters will set up in their fights. Ryohei and Aoba's was pretty obvious, but the others, not so much.
For someone with a name that means "green leaves red leaves", we really shouldn't have been surprised.
I am so ashamed of myself for having not made that connection until just now. XDDD DERP.
