[blah blah I still haven't caught up with comments yet]


1. The one good thing about being RIDICULOUSLY INACTIVE this week is that I actually went into this chapter totally unspoiled for once, which is always fun. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, WHEEEE. So let's get started!

--HOLY JESUS

RYOHEI, DID YOU BLOW UP SOMEONE WITH YOUR FISTS AGAIN

This has to stop, young man. Honestly, now.


2. Poor Aoba, his body got all smashed up and his brain melted. :( REST IN PEACE--

--oooooor not.

Okay, again I feel the need to ask the burning question, "Aoba, how in the hell are you not dead?" Apparently Yamamoto is the only character in this manga subject to realistic responses to physical trauma. "Any normal human being would have passed out ages ago," come on. This is almost as bad as Hibari fighting "unconsciously" during the Kokuyou Arc. BASICALLY IT IS BULLSHIT. Oh hey, Gokudera turned into Ed again.


3. Wow, Ryohei, it only took you three chapters to figure out that when fighting a guy like this, the smart thing to do might be to FUCKING WAIT until your ridiculous "hit-me-to-charge" laser punch is completely powered up before attacking him! As opposed to your chosen method of "let's try thirty percent! No? Okay then, let's get beaten up ALL OVER AGAIN until we hit sixty percent and then try that! STILL NOT ENOUGH? OKAY, TIME TO GET BEATEN UP YET AGAIN UNTIL I'M FINALLY AT FULL POWER."

The ladies will tell you, no one likes a guy who gets too excited and repeatedly blasts his weapon too early, Ryohei. I'm just saying.


4. So somehow, this battle between two idiots has come down to this: Who will manage to keep from dying for the longest? Will it be Aoba, whose torso is currently gushing blood like Niagara Falls (fortunately for him, it's more like the American Falls as opposed to the Horseshoe Falls), or Ryohei, who now has to sit back and let Aoba start whalin' on him yet again? Gokudera, Tsuna, please please please tell me that you two are learning something from watching all this, at least. XD


5. Uh oh, they're reminding us about the rules again. I wonder if that means we can finally expect a winner and a loser in this chapter. Glad I didn't spoil myself, then. THIS WAY I CAN PANIC PROPERLY.


6. MORE PANELS OF PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND AND PUNCHING EACH OTHER, HOORAY. WE'LL NEVER GET TIRED OF THOSE.

...whoa. But it's some seriously hardcore punching, though. D: Shit, that looks painful.

The saddest thing is, part of me can't help but think these two are secretly having the time of their lives right now. Sometimes a man's just gotta stand up and get the shit beat out of him while also totally beating the shit out of someone else. They really don't, though. But maybe these guys do.


7. Fuck. I wish Ryohei would have taken into consideration the fact that no matter how this fight ends, he'll be completely useless afterwards with damage like this, though. :| Somehow, I don't think even miracle sun healing is gonna cut it on this one.

AND WATCH IT, RYOHEI, HE'S AIMING BELOW THE BELT NOW! YOUR LEGS ARE BAD ENOUGH, BUT IF YOU EVER WANT TO HAVE KIDS WITH HANA SOMEDAY YOU HAD BETTER KEEP AOBA THE HELL AWAY FROM ANYTHING ELSE.

"This is nothing!" Yeah, he knows. He knows it could still be worse, okay.


8. Well, that makes two Vongola guardians completely maimed, now. :/

...how is it still only at 90 percent? Just, what? THE HELL DOES HE HAVE TO DO TO REACH FULL POWER, DIE??

And his left arm and right hand are both busted, so that's just great. Now what...? IF ONLY AOBA WOULD CEASE HIS BRUTAL BEATDOWN FOR A MOMENT IN ORDER TO DO SOMETHING REALLY STUPID LIKE TAUNT HIM.

...sweet!


9. Of course, Ryohei is having none of it. "STOP TALKING AND PUNCH ME AGAIN." It's clear that we're down to the last few remaining brain cells on both sides of this fight. XD Yeah, okay, he has to get it up to 100 percent somehow. No point in taking chances after all of this abuse, I get that.


10. ...

......

1. Ouch.
   
2. I DON'T EVER WANT TO TRADE LIVES WITH EITHER OF THESE GUYS EVER.
   
3. Also, I have just added both of them to my official list of People I Never Want to Meet Alone in a Dark Alley. Congratulations, you two.
   
4. Awww it's a sun how cute.
   
5. FUCKING HELL, RYOHEI I LOVE YOU AND ALL BUT HOW MANY MORE CHAPTERS IS THIS FIGHT GOING TO LAST.

Seriously, while I can't stress enough how awesome it is to see an under-appreciated character getting center stage for such a prolonged time (not to mention the abundant shirtlessness and unprecedented amount of Serious Ryohei), that still doesn't change the fact that the last THREE chapters can neatly be summarized as "AOBA PUNCHES RYOHEI A LOT; RYOHEI BLOWS UP AOBA; AOBA PUNCHES RYOHEI EVEN MORE; RYOHEI BLOWS UP AOBA AGAIN; AOBA PUNCHES RYOHEI EVEN MORE, GODDAMN; RYOHEI GIVES AOBA A HUG AND PREPARES TO BLOW HIM INTO THE FUCKING SKY."

WELL, WHATEVER. I'm just going to spend the next week being extraordinarily grateful that all my bones are intact.


P.S. Happy Belated Birthday to waterlemon_chi and beruichi! ♥ Also, whoa, what happened to the little LJ toolbar icons, this is weird. *_*
