caddles suggested in one of the comments above that Hibari might come to the rescue, and he's done it before in the Sky Battle and during the Melone Base invasion as I recall, so it seems plausible. Dino and Gokudera would be acceptable alternatives as well. I would also accept Lambo, I-Pin, Tsuna's mom, Bianchi, Kawahira, Shamal, little!Shouichi, Kawahira, zombie!Byakuran, Longchamp, Hana, Kyoko, Haru, Fran, and anyone ever.
It wouldn't really be in his character if he accepted it without any hesitation at this point, though. Maybe by the end of this arc, if his character development focuses on this theme. But I agree that he's got the skills already; it's more about the motivation/confidence now.
And the Varia would definitely be welcome (shouldn't they be in town for the ceremony, anyway?). MAYBE XANXUS CAN RESCUE YAMAMOTO.
WHY INDEED.
