Unfortunately, this chapter was not as epic as Google's version of the spoilers made it out to be, but that's to be expected when the spoilers in question are that amazing.


1. PRIMO COVER PAGE

STOP

HAMMERTIME

• GOD ALAUDE YOU'RE SO FREAKING BORING I'M JUST GOING TO SKIP YOU.
  
• LAMPO LOOKS KINDA UNCOMFORTABLE. HE'S EYEING KNUCKLE SUSPICIOUSLY FOR SOME REASON. KNUCKLE DID YOU DO SOMETHING BAD. WERE YOU A BAD PRIEST, KNUCKLE??
  
• OH G, HOT AS ALWAYS. WHY ARE YOU HIDING IN THE BACK. OH YEAH, BECAUSE YOU HAD TO BE AT YOUR BOYFRIEND'S RIGHT HAND SIDE. ROCK ON, G.
  
• I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF PRIMO WAS EVER NOT IN DYING WILL MODE. DID HE JUST GO AROUND LIKE THAT HIS ENTIRE LIFE? WAS HE BORN LIKE THAT, AND EVERYONE WAS LIKE, "OH FUCK, THIS BABY IS ON FIRE" AND THAT WAS HOW HIS LEGACY BEGAN?
  
• APPARENTLY UGETSU DECIDED THAT PLAYING HIS FLUTE WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SITTING AROUND WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE THE FAMILY PICTURE. WAY TO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR BOSS'S PRECIOUS MEMORIES, UGETSU.
  
• DAMN, KNUCKLE IS HOT. YOU NAUGHTY PRIEST YOU.
  
• CALL ME WHEN YOU STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE IN THE ANIME, SPADE.

Also, I really like how this cover page could not have had less to do with the actual chapter if it had tried. HAHA WHO CARES, IT'S PRIMOS.

Maaaaan, their shoes are so shiny... okay, moving on now.


2. Heh. I like how Tsuna is all, "I can tell the Ninth honestly wants me to revert the family back to how it was during the days of Primo!" and Enma is like, "...are you sure we're talking about the SAME NINTH, here?" Enma knows what's up, unlike some people. Funny that failboss's hyper intuition seems to be completely off for once; I wonder if the Ninth threw him off track, given that he's got the same blood.

Aww, it's kinda sad to see Tsuna sell himself so short, though. For someone who thinks he sucks at giving orders, he wasn't half-bad during the Future Arc. Come on, Tsuna, we all know it's less about you not being capable and more about you just plain not wanting to.


3. Oh snap, Enma just transformed from SUPER SHOTA into JADED CHARACTER WITH A PAST in like the blink of an eye. "YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND OUR PAIN DON'T PUT ME IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS YOU!!!" Geez, Enma, if I had any remaining doubts that you could AND SHOULD be one hell of an antagonist, they just completely up and vanished. I can't stop staring at that Serious Business Eye in the bottom left corner. *____*


4. Lol, and then he goes right back to shota mode. I'm learning so much about you and your wildly alternating personalities today, Enma.

You know, Tsuna, before this kid came along I honestly had you pegged as mostly straight. XD


5. AWWW IT'S A MONTAGE OF FRIENDSHIP. |D "Everyone's so happy since you guys came along! Large became Lambo's bitch, Ryohei and Aoba have hilarious shounen races with lots of speedlines, Yamamoto plays baseball and has fun every day so ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THAT REGARD, but Gokudera managed to get along with a girl for more than two minutes so if you want to talk about change, let's start right there!" Chrome and Hibari were not included in this montage, but we all know how much Chrome likes creepy stalker people and Hibari is in dire need of a good ass-kicking, so in general the Shimon presence has been a favorable one all around.


6. This page made me laugh so hard because YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE JESUSBEAMS SHINING FROM TSUNA'S EYES. Poor Enma, not even he can resist that.


7. Or maybe he can, because Tsuna all but gave him an open invitation to join him in the bath, but Enma ignores it to call Adelheid instead, so I guess his willpower was stronger than I thought.

And man, this page is just filled with phone calls and closeups of Adelheid's legs and a little boy writing a fake ransom note to test the purity of his friend's heart... is it just me, or did the genre just shift a little to the shoujo side of things?

...or possibly the BL side of things?? OH MY GOD YOU GUYS YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO TAKE THIS PAGE COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT AND MAKE SO MANY TERRIBLE JOKES. Oh my. But I won't.


8. ...XD.

You gotta love how he has the nerve to ask Enma what the hell he's doing. Oh, Gokudera. No matter how many Serious Business Eyes Enma makes, you're still my favorite forever and ever. ALWAYS.


9. Wait, was I-Pin's "what a wonderful morning!" translated from Chinese here, or did they finally give up and match the manga canon to the anime canon? YEAH, I KNOW PLOT IS GOING ON BUT THESE ARE THE THINGS I THINK ABOUT, OKAY.


10. Well, I'd like to say that one day they'll look back on this unfortunate misunderstanding and laugh, but SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE.

Part of me recognizes the fact that Enma sitting there and feeling betrayed and Tsuna being completely oblivious does not really bode well for the future, but another part of me can't help but think that even so, this is all pretty hilarious. XD



P.S. BECAUSE I KNOW I'LL FORGET TOMORROW, Happy Birthday, dame_batsie! I hope you have a wonderful and awesome day completely free of any homicidal walls. ♥
