Another day, another chapter.
And another day of logging in and seeing this:
I have decided this is what I will be devoting my weekend to. I AM GOING TO DEMOLISH THAT NUMBER PIECE BY PIECE.
But in the meantime...
1. POLL RESULTS! I SAW THIS PAGE AND HAD SO MANY THOUGHTS.
2. Back to action, as the Power Rangers would say. Aoba is busy being sexy, Ryohei is busy being unsettled, Tsuna and Gokudera are busy ignoring Lambo in favor of being willfully confused, and Lambo is busy being ignored.
Whatever Aoba's power is (personally, I'm guessing it's the ability to hypnotize his opponents into forgetting all about fighting him in favor of daydreaming about what else they'd like to do to him), he's so sure of its ass-kicking abilities that he turns off all his flames. Not to be outmatched in stupidity, Ryohei decides that faced with an eerily confident opponent with a yet-to-be-determined superpower, the best course of action is to charge right in. I could never live the way you do, Ryohei. But I admire you for your ability to do so. I think. XD
3. 'Grazing my attacks, is he?' Lol, Aoba, you belong on a Saturday morning cartoon. ...In fact, you are on a Saturday morning cartoon. So I suppose this isn't really out of place. Keep it up!
He can see! He can see!!
4. It's the Sharingan! It's completely the Sharingan! Kishimoto, break out your lawyers, because there is nothing about this ability that is not one hundred percent Sharingan-derived! It's cool, though, Ryohei, because I've studied this and I know how to handle it. What you need to do is to retreat into a series of mirrors and start shooting needles at him. Trust me, this will work.
5. Actually, maybe it's closer to the Byakugan (I came this close to typing 'Byakuran' out of sheer habit, orz). Go, Aoba! Seal those tenketsu! Hakke Nishou! Yonshou! Sanjuunishou! ROKUJUUYONSHOU!!
"What's going on?" What's going on is that you need to read more Naruto, Gokudera. :|
6. Wow, they really weren't paying any attention to Lambo at all. XD HE CAN HELP YOU OUT SOMETIMES IF YOU JUST LISTEN TO HIM MORE, GUYS, REALLY. They're so lucky Aoba was polite enough to take time out from the beatdown he's inflicting to explain the situation to them. They need all the help they can get. Judging by the way Aoba is saying things like "Now to finish you off!", we're nearing the end of this thing.
7. I have to hand it to Ryohei, he is fast as hell when he wants to be. Unless Aoba's magic eyes enhance his speed as well as his vision, I don't understand how he can keep hitting him given that his flames are powered down and Ryohei's are only getting stronger. Eh.
"What's wrong, Ryohei? Got cold feet?" Are you seriously making fun of him for the one smart thing he's done in this entire battle, Aoba? There is no shame in trying to avoid an attack that can fuck up his whole body with one hit. Don't even try to assert otherwise.
8. Shiiiiiiit that was not a good face. RYOHEI. D:
9. So now Ryohei is on his last legs, but his attack power is getting stronger by the minute. It seems we're building to a climax! Aoba's flames are up and running again (that didn't last long), so it's anybody's game!
Once again, I can't help but think this will all look so much cooler once motion, color, and sound are added to the mix. The anime had better hurry up and announce its relaunch date.
10. What... the...
What... just... happened? ??
Um. Given that Ryohei's sun flames suddenly flickered to 100% power and that was a direct hit, I have no doubt that Aoba is down for the count, but aside from that, what the hell did I just witness? It looked like Aoba started to sprout a dying will flame on his forehead and then freaked the fuck out, and then Ryohei punched him so hard he turned upside down. I can describe what I just saw, but comprehension is far beyond my feeble abilities at the moment.
Looks like all I can do is scratch my head and go, "Yay, I guess?" while I wait for 307.
And happy belated birthday to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I have decided this is what I will be devoting my weekend to. I AM GOING TO DEMOLISH THAT NUMBER PIECE BY PIECE.
But in the meantime...
1. POLL RESULTS! I SAW THIS PAGE AND HAD SO MANY THOUGHTS.
- It really annoys me that fandom consistently rates hotness as a more important factor than character development. Tsuna has had amazing character development over the last however-long-it's-been-since-the-previous-character-poll. He lost a girlfriend, killed a man for the first time, got a new boyfriend, faced the Ninth like a fucking man and told him "No thanks", and survived the soul-crushing double blow of having his best friend get horribly injured, and then learning his other best friend was responsible. Hibari, by contrast, had an interrupted rooftop fight with a character more interesting than him, and got a bracelet. (But what a bracelet.)
- lol what the flying fuck is Mukuro wearing this time. He's dressed like some kind of cowboy army stripper. The world is always that much more entertaining when you're around, Chuckles. And you at least did get a bit of development at the end of the last arc, so I don't begrudge you your usurping of Gokudera's rightful place at #3.
Much. - Hey, speaking of Gokudera, looking good! Looking very good. But someone should tell him that past a certain point, a belt ceases to be a useful piece of apparel and actually starts to get in the way of everyday functioning. For example, when it's sliding so low down on your ass that you actually have to hold it up with your free hand because if you don't, it's just going to plunk down onto the floor because you left your waist and hips way back up there and now there's nothing left to stop it.
- HOORAY FOR YAMAMOTO. Back in the top five where he should be! And celebrating by propositioning everyone in the vicinity with his eyes (I'm guessing few would refuse). His character design has seemed a bit off to me during his last few appearances, though. But I'm so glad to see him at all that I DON'T CARE.
- Squalo, are you also dressed like a cowboy? Did Amano watch a bunch of westerns before drawing this? Or is this some weird new Japanese fashion trend (if any of you have seen One Piece: Strong World, you'll know I am only halfway joking)? At any rate, it's good to see him up there (and I'm pleasantly surprised he actually beat Xanxus), and now Yamamoto can enjoy being sandwiched between his two favorite angry people.
- The men of KHR are so pretty and sparkly. I bet if this page had a scent, it would smell like raspberries.
- ETA: Before I forget, a few other things that I liked: 1) Daniela being nowhere in sight. 2) Chrome making the top ten! Fuck yeah. 3) The 11th-20th place rankings in general. 4) Fran beating Belphegor. lol.
