ITP: Vegetables and old men.

THE WINNING COMBO YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED!

1. Yamamoto reminds me uncomfortably of Gin from Bleach on this cover page. To the point where I'm really, really creeped out. To the point where I'm wondering if we shouldn't all be shouting, "RUN, KAORU! RUNNNNN." D:

2. "Yo! You're finally here, Tsuna!" Actually, I was thinking something more along the lines of "Yo, you're finally here, Yamamoto!" It's been a few weeks. I had missed you. :(

Also, you'd think Tsuna would be less discriminating against hooligan-types these days, considering the awesome people in his life like HIS RIGHT HAND MAN and Kusakabe and so forth. Even Dino has a tattoo, Tsuna, and you fucking love Dino.

3. Aha, I see that Gokudera is making his weekly cameo (he hasn't missed a single chapter yet in this arc), so I will make my weekly observations of him.

HE IS WEARING A VEST. IT LOOKS GOOD ON HIM.
There appears to be some antagonism between him and Kaoru, and being the fangirl I am, I choose to willfully ignore the far more likely explanation of "In case you hadn't noticed, there is antagonism between Gokudera and EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE" in favor of my own personal explanation, which is that he's annoyed that Kaoru is monopolizing all of his boyfriend's time.
He said a musical note. You all saw that. It was in his dialogue as clear as day. HE SAID A MUSICAL NOTE LIKE BYAKURAN USED TO DO. It pleases me that part of his legacy lives on still in this way.

4. Reborn finally gave into the urges I know we've all been having and actually kidnapped Enma. Good for him! I'M TOTES JEALOUS.

Also, thank you Enma, for finally giving this manga a damsel in distress who's not actually female! I only wish we had gotten to see Reborn saving him by presumably beating up a dog.

5. I really hope this entire chapter is not dedicated to baseball, or else I confess I am going to get bored pretty quickly. Even in fiction this sport bores me something fierce. XD

AH, HERE WE GO, NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. Nametwin has returned! And he's feeding Chrome (HE MUST HAVE SEEN THE COVER OF VOLUME 29) and patting himself on the back for his own pervy kindheartedness! And he also said a musical note! CHRIST WHAT IS THIS, SOME KIND OF EPIDEMIC?

6. Aww, Kaoru has performance anxiety. LEAVE HIM ALONE, HE DOESN'T WANT TO PITCH IN FRONT OF ALL THESE THREE PEOPLE. His is a sweet and timid soul which must be nurtured out of its fragile shell! I AM LAUGHING SO HARD HERE IN CASE THAT ISN'T COMING ACROSS AT ALL.

Fortunately, Reborn has a solution! It is hands down the single most disgusting solution he has ever come up with. Something about swallowing his hand three times?? Is this really a thing? SURELY IT CANNOT BE A THING. REBORN, YOU SICKEN ME.

As an aside, do you guys remember that OST track Kyoko used to have whenever she randomly showed up in the anime? I'm almost positive that "LET'S OVERCOME OUR FEARS TOGETHER!" Yamamoto is emitting that exact sound.

7. Brb, mentally picturing tiny!Yama playing Little League.

|D

Okay, back to matters at hand. Yamamoto whispers something conspiratorially in Reborn's ear that causes Reborn to start sparkling as well because this is a chapter of musical notes and sparkles okay. Then we get a panel of Hibird for no reason, and then HARU OH MY GOD I'VE MISSED YOU! I swear to God she's gotten cuter somehow. She probably saw Enma there being all failishly adorable and went BITCH, NO, IT'S ON NOW. YOU DON'T JUST GO SOLICITING FOR TSUNA'S AFFECTIONS WITHOUT ASKING FIRST. DON'T YOU KNOW THERE IS A LINE.

8. Sometimes I sure do wish I could have some of whatever it is Amano and her assistants are smoking to come up with plot ideas like "EVERYONE DRESSES UP AS VEGETABLES SO THAT THE SCARY NEW CHARACTER WON'T BE NERVOUS." Do you know, I did not even exaggerate that phrase for comedic purposes at all? That is pretty much exactly what Yamamoto actually said. FOR REAL.

Not only that, but this beautiful display of selfless friendship actually moves Kaoru to tears. You guys, I have to make a confession now. Somehow, I think that this incredibly stupid chapter might just be MY FAVORITE EVER.

Because ladies and gentlemen, today, on this page... magic happened.

*stands in awe*

9. AND THEN KAORU KILLED YAMAMOTO WITH A BASEBALL, FFFFFFFF.

And Adelheid was there again. WATCHING. Because that's what she does.

sadflkjs I can't even breathe oh my god. Oh my God. OH MY GOD.

10. --OH MY GOD.

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR SOME BULLET POINTS, SON.

I SAID THIS ALREADY IN THE COMM BUT GANAUCHE A.K.A. THUNDERY NONO IS POSSIBLY THE SINGLE HOTTEST GUY TO EVER SHOW UP IN THIS MANGA FILLED TO BRIMMING WITH HOT GUYS. AND THAT'S INCLUDING G. THAT'S INCLUDING FUCKING G. !!!!!!!
WILL THERE EVER BE A MIST GUARDIAN WITH NORMAL HAIR?!
SUNNY NONO DOES NOT STRIKE ME AS EXTREME ENOUGH. I WANT HIM TO DO SOMETHING EXTREME.
CLOUDY NONO IS OLD AS FUCK BUT EVEN HE'S STILL SEXY SOMEHOW. HOW DO THESE GUYS DO IT?
RAINY NONO LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY PUT HIM THROUGH A WOODCHIPPER. ALSO HIS NAME IS SCHNITTEN! COULD THERE POSSIBLY BE ANY NAME COOLER THAN THAT IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD?
THE ANSWER IS YES, MOTHERFUCKER, BECAUSE THREE WORDS. COYOTE FUCKING NOUGAT.

Also there was something about an ally family "finding the ones who are scheming to interfere with the inheritance ceremony" so they're going to wipe them out as a favor to the Vongola, blah blah blah. Unfortunately, Ganauche was the one who said those words so like hell if I was actually focusing on what he was saying.

Ahhhh, this chapter. THIS CHAPTER. Heeheehee. This chapter.

Threaded | Flat

Reborn probably COMMUNICATED WITH THE DOG. Through... Reborn speak.

I LIKE THE MIST GUARDIAN. HE'S NAMED AFTER FOOD!

Fuuta's a tomato. And Yamamoto is CORN. AKA Corny.

I thought Gokudera's reaction was b/c he's a fellow dynamiter. Isn't he?

The woman makes a host club within a bastion of manliness (well, boyness) of a manga, and the manga can do absolutely nothing about it. GIRL POWER!! ^^v

1. I thought that cover page was cute, but now that you mentioned the Gin thing....Cannot unsee. Oh god. Cannot unseeeee D:

3. I am really surprised Gokudera hasn't been sticking around to watch these, uh, tests. Though I think the main reason why he didn't stick around this week is because he secretly saw the veggie costumes and he did not want.

5. Okay Julie I kind of like you and all your clearly heterosexual glory. It's cute how he's sending her food.

8. Vegetable costumes. I think Amano secretly hangs out with Rumiko Takahashi to get inspiration or something. When Kaoru cried, I thought it was the cutest thing ever. And I loved the 'bowl of salad' comment XDD

9. lmfao I love how Reborn is like "What is he made out of?!" And I really wonder what Adelheid is up to.

10. SCHNITTEN SERIOUSLY MAKES ME THINK OF SCHNITZEL WHICH AUTOMATICALLY TAKES MY MIND TO CHOWDER. And I seriously have an old man crush on Nougat u_u

Tsuna even pegged Gokudera as a delinquent! Though he has been getting kinda...fabulous...but I'll reserve judgment until he spouts wings and shoots sparkles. Maybe it's from being around ~~Lady Gaga~~Shitt P so much.

Edited 2010-05-15 02:16 (UTC)

I CLICKED THE HUGE OH MY GOD AND
AND
WHY ARE THEY DRESSED AS VEGETABLES
And
then I read it and. Oh. I see.

HAHAHA I SAW THE 8059 AND I WASN'T EVEN LOOKING FOR IT
...another connection to Byakuran, what with Shitt P and the music note and salkdghsdaglk idk where I was going with this :D

HE MUST HAVE SEEN THE COVER OF VOLUME 29

lol performance issues, why do I think Kaoru/Dino would be fucking hilarious bahahaha
I'm almost positive that "LET'S OVERCOME OUR FEARS TOGETHER!" Yamamoto is emitting that exact sound.
LOL OH MY GOD
YAMAMOTO WAS SUCH A SAINT IN THIS CHAPTER UGH WHY THE HELL IS HE SO SWEET

SUNNY NONO STRIKES ME AS EXTREMELY EFFEMINATE...AND GLO XINIA-ISH ONLY PRETTIER AND HOPEFULLY LESS CREEPY
RAINLY NONO LOOKS ALMOST LIKE SOME 801869 TUBE CHILD AND LOLOLOLOLGSALKHALDSKG COYOTE NOUGAT I CAN'T...I DON'T EVEN. SALKHFSDLGKGDAS DO THEY PULL WORDS OUT OF A HAT?! OUT OF A POT THEY THEN GRIND UP AND SMOKE???
/foaming 8D

BEST CHAPTER EVAR <3

Also there was something about an ally family "finding the ones who are scheming to interfere with the inheritance ceremony" so they're going to wipe them out as a favor to the Vongola
You think it will be the Shimon family? It seems too cliche..owo

~~HE WAS THE STORM GUARDIAN 8'DDD~~

The ninth's guardians are named after French bread thingish things? |D

Old Guardians are made of teh awesome sauce, but I do have one question. Exactly where the hell were they when Xanxus was cramming their beloved Ninth into a Gola Mosca like a sardine?

1. WHAT NO. Yamamoto is sincere. SINCERE! Gin is... Gin. ;P

3.2 HELL YEAH AMEN. Out of nowhere, he's hatin' on Kaoru (who hasn't been featured in KHR before this chapter) LOL I WONDER WHY.

6. MAYBE YAMAMOTO AND KYOKO ARE TWINS SEPARATED AT BIRTH. Seriously, they have so much in common: popular in school, oblivious, gullible, can Jesus/top everyone...

7. SEE EVEN REBORN HAS A DORKY SMILE ON HIS FACE AT YAMAMOTO'S IDEA. WTF, YAMAMOTO HAS EVERYONE WRAPPED AROUND HIS FINGERS.

10. OK FINE, I'll join the askjgfjsdkghjkhajk thing that's happening around the fandom. Damn, those are some mighty fine old (and not so old) men.

-I think Ninth's Sun goes to the same bar that Lussuria does.
-Ganauche is effin' HOT fzzzzztt fzzt.
-Visconti somehow reminds me of a One Piece character but I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO.
-Ninth's Rain makes me think that Rain Guardians are destined to get slash scars. I BET UGETSU IS HIDING SOME UNDER HIS CLOTHES.
-CAYOTE FUCKING NOUGAT.

-Yamamoto looks like Gin? ahahah, i never realize that.

-Even Dino has a tattoo, Tsuna, and you fucking love Dino.
^ yeah, but Dino is a pretty boy, so the tattoo doesn't count~ xD

- considering Amano's ~~infamous~~ habit, i won't be surprised if suddenly the little league coach shows up as the final boss of this arc, really. xD

- If not because of the last page spread, i would have condemned this chapter as KHR's most boring chapter. I mean, i don't really find the last few chapters funny at all. Light-hearted, yes. I miss the fast-paced action... D:

- WILL THERE EVER BE A MIST GUARDIAN WITH NORMAL HAIR?!
ahahah lol. Genkishi's hair is normal. ~~my hair looks like that~~
i dunno about his eyebrow though... xD

- Sunny Nono (what a fancy nickname...) reminds me of the typical androgynous skinny male models.

I am saddened, SADDENED that there are no female Nono guardians. Ninth, what the hell., did Daniella not let you have female friends growing up or something? >( I mean, even Tsuna has one girl in his harem of men. Even if she is technically also Mukuro.

Aside from that, it's nice to meet the Ninth-gen guardians. ~~Although I am totally headcanon-ing Sunny Nono as FTM just so my brain will shut the hell up. You'd think I'd be used to the gender imbalance already.~~ Ganauche, you have like the most ridiculous name ever that I can't peg exactly why it's ridiculous. Visconti, ILU and your sunglasses. The rest of you, no comment.

Shimon are probably the allied family, but I'm pretty sure they're scheming behind the scenes just like everyone else.

Awww, lookit. Julie is helping! (And the Kokuyo gang is BACK, woohoo!) \o/

Also, because you can never have enough LGBT characters who have never been announced as such, I have a sneaking suspicion that Shitt P is, one way or another, actually Byakuran. And she is somehow EVEN MORE FABULOUS now.

YAMAMOTO, WHY SO SMILEY. |D

I don't know what ya'll complaining about!
This chapter was vapid, yes, but HELLA adorable!

And yay for Goku-chan's weekly cameo!

And b'aww Julie, my nametwin.... and attitudetwin... *a creepy!mom!stalker type of person, yessire*
Looking after Chrome (I saw Chrome in the last anime episode, OMG I cried like crazy, poor baby! ;o;)~!

GOSH HARU IS SO CUTE.
FUCK YOU TSUNA SRSLY. I'LL MARRY HARU! She's so fucking talented and cute and caring and brave and creative and strong! WTH IS YOUR PROBLEM?! *slaps Tsuna... then regrets it*
I realllllllyyyyy don't approve of TsuKyoko, SHE'S TSUNA'S CLONE, CAN"T YOU SEE!??!?! She even looks like him! XDD */rant*

Okay, holy-shitt.p!

SILVER FOXES, ohmymightygod.

I'm like a reversed pedophile, I swear.
COYOTE FUCKING NOUGAT.
Firstly, hella funny name, I still lol.

BUT THEN!

I. AM. IRON MAAAAAAN! or a really old Edward Elric, lololololllll.

But why aren't there any lady guardians?? ;n;
*sigh* remember this is a shonen manga, Julie. This is a shonen manga... *tries not to be a feminist right now*

....

Why did she call him Julie. I would understand Julio, but Julie? Or is it his last name? Kaito means "Ocean and sake dipper" (Which I still WTF over).....

DISSCUSS!

LOL YAMAMOTO IN LITTLE LEAGUE XD

Other than that I have no idea what this chapter was about because the appearance of the 9th gen guardians wiped all previous thought from my brain. OMNOMNOM *hehe*

I'm too lazy to go through all the points but this chapter was filled with so much WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.

And I really have to agree w/ you about Ganauche III. DAMN.

That is probably all. 8D

Wow. I'm even later than usual. ~~Exams? What exams? And studying? What are these odd things you're talking about?~~

Kyoko is still talking with a musical note, I think Byakuran infected her brain and body somehow before he died and in ten years when Kyoko gives birth to her and Tuna's first child, that child will be Byakuran reborn. BELIEVE IT. Gokudera talking with a musical note, on the other hand, is adorable.

Coyote Nougat is cracking me up. WHAT THE FUCK, Amano? Coyote Nougat? Coyote Nougat?! Whatever that woman is smoking, I think I want some.

~~I don't really find Thundery the ninth all that hot...~~
