Reborn 309!

Now with +5 badtouch and +10 wtf stats! I'm not sure what to make of this!


1. Amano! What is this! Another 'holy shit wow' color page from you? Another one?? Don't you realize you cannot possibly keep this up forever? That surely one day the strain of constantly outdoing yourself with every new color page will cause you to explode or something? And if not you, your fans! Who are ONLY HUMAN, Amano, and can take only so much shiny perfection on a single page before we, too, succumb to... whatever it is happens when you're exposed to an overdose of shounen prettiness. Fainting, or possibly seizures, perhaps.

THIS PAGE IS DAMN ATTRACTIVE. IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY HERE.

Someone should tell Giotto to cut back on the amount of chlorine in his mafia hot tub, though! Hair's starting to look a bit greenish there. Look what happened to Aoba, Giotto; you don't want to meet the same fate, do you?


2. Oh lord, please tell me this isn't just going to be an entire chapter of Do Not Want. I don't know if I can take that. I'm not sure what makes me more uncomfortable, the preview text cheerfully speculating about Nametwin's "true intentions", or Chrome's CONSTANT PERMA-BLUSH that is just so, so awkward in this situation. :| ...

--oh thank God, he turned into a fanboying idiot as soon as she remembered his name. "YOU REMEMBERED MY NAME?!! TRULY IT MUST BE LOVE!" It keeps going back and forth between "okay, it almost seems safe, maybe I can come out and laugh at the absurdity of it all, just a bit...?" and "...NOPE, NEVER MIND", though. Chrome dazedly asking where she is: Not funny. Julie candidly explaining that he kidnapped her ♪: Funny (NO I GET THAT IT'S HORRIBLE, REALLY, IT'S JUST THE FACT THAT HE'S SO PROUD). Chrome's GIANT ELLIPSES: ...okay, both funny and not funny at the same time. XD


3. THIS FACE: ALSO FUNNY AND CREEPY ALL AT ONCE.

Offering to help her change: Not! At all! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HER BUBBLE RIGHT NOW, JULIE. DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE. AMANO THERE ARE LITTLE KIDS READING THIS SHIT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU. 8|

YES! ADELHEID! GO YELL AT HIM! You can use an even bigger font and more exclamation points than that, if you want! The sky's the limit!


4. Oh hell yes.

Okay, this turned out so much better than the spoilers made it sound, thank goodness. For starters, opening the page with a gorgeous panel of Adelheid's legs: YES. YES. FINALLY SOMETHING OTHER THAN BOOBS.

And then Adelheid BITCHSLAPPING NAMETWIN'S PERVY HAND AWAY, o-omg. SHE'S BLUSHING, BUT IT'S NOT A "KYAAAA DOKIDOKI" BLUSH, IT IS A SUPREMELY TOPPY AND TSUNDERE BLUSH. SHE GAVE HIM AN ANGRY EXPOSITIONY LECTURE, and I'm just falling in love all over again, here.


5. Man, news travels fast on Shimon Island. You know, I have to admit that Julie's total indifference to the flashback lends a bit of credence to the theory that he's really Spade in disguise. He really doesn't give a fuck; if anything, he seems annoyed by it. Hmm.

--HEY. NO.

GODDAMN IT. Now this, on the other hand, is exactly the sort of Julie/Adelheid that I do not want. :/ GD JULIE, SHE TOPS YOU, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Now go away and let me resume hoping that someone will kick you in the nuts presently.


6. MEANWHILE BACK IN THE FOREST OF THORNS AND FLASHBACKS, Tsuna is all, "AHHH! I SAW THINGS! THINGS IN MY HEAD, MAN! THE COLORSSSSS DUDE WTF." The Vindice explain that the coin pouch was the first of the "seven keys", and then Gokudera and co. waste a page figuring out what their entire readership immediately deduced last week.

Then the Vindice disappear again and Lambo starts to cry because he's only a little kid for fuck's sake, and Gokudera has absolutely no sympathy, because he never does when he's too busy freaking out himself. So basically they're all one big bundle of shaken nerves, down to only the panickiest, jumpiest trio from their original seven, and THINGS ARE NOT LOOKING GOOD.


7. But wait, what's this? Six different types of grape candy? Gokudera, you classy motherfucker, you rallied after all! Is this the best right hand man ever, or is this the best right hand man ever? Hell yeah. BABYSIT AS IF YOU WERE TO DIE~

--oh my God he actually did the piggybacks he actually did the piggybacks OH MY GOD. This entire page is just one giant DELICIOUS helping of my favoritest platonic OTP ever, you guys. I AM IN HEAVEN. IT'S LIKE READING A GUILTY PLEASURE FLUFF!FIC. ONE THAT IS CANON. BEST DAY EVER, I'm so fucking happy you don't even know, LA LA LA LA LA. 8D


8. "HEY TSUNA, STOP THINKING ABOUT RYOHEI ALREADY." "QUIT WHINING, TSUNA." "THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GOOD-FOR-NOTHING TSUNA." Still the king of pep talks, Reborn. Still the king.

Aw, dammit, but then he had to go and make sense, too. Curse you, Reborn!

Aww, I think Gokudera ships them.


9. BUNNY~!

AFTER IT, LAMBO! THE PLOT OF ALICE AND WONDERLAND ISN'T GOING TO SPOOF ITSELF!!


10. WOW.

UM.

WHAT?

...Well, this next battle is sure going to be interesting. You can't say it won't be. I'M ROOTING FOR YOU, LAMBO, GO GET HIM, KID.


And welcome to [livejournal.com profile] mychemical_lust and [livejournal.com profile] demoerin from the friend meme! I LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES TOGETHER. ♥ BUT NOT IN THE CREEPY JULIE WAY, LET'S JUST BE CLEAR.

THAT COLOUR PAGE. UMFFFFFF.

Yeah, I think Gokudera ships them too. No other explaination.

Haha, now I think back, YESSSS AMANO ADDED ALICE IN WONDERLAND. I JUST REALISED THAT IT MADE THE CHAPTER GREATER THAN EVER.

GOOO LAMBO! don't get hurt! /o/

4 - YES CHROME TAKE NOTE this is how you deal with a creeper! Not at all impressed by sudden-blushing-maiden!Adelheid a couple pages later, no. *taps foot* I'm kind of cautiously curious as to Julie's power, since Chrome compared him to Mukuro; I bet it gives him like +20 Unsafe and +50 Do Not Want. Or clothes-vaporising powers or something similarly icky. :| For as much as I want Mukuro to show back up since it's been forever, I'd rather Chrome kick Pervy McCreeper's ass herself. Adelheid could help, it'd be awesome!

Total total love for Gokudera bribing Lambo with candy and giving him piggybacks. He just gets more and more awesome, I swear. ♥

Yeah the end was kind of. Uh. Bets on Lambo's Vongola Bling (and whether the Ten Year Bazooka pops back up in the next few chapters!) anyone?

[identity profile] daigranon.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Gokudera with the candy was hilarious.

Julie is a total creeper, yes...but somehow I can't help but like him in a weird, weird way. He's apparently got traumatic past/something going on upstairs (don't most of the KHR characters, though), and I'm intrigued.

I just love those bipolar characters who aren't what they seem to be, I guess.

IT'S A WORLD WIDE TOUR OF CANDY.

One at a time, Lambo. One at a time.

2 and 3. JULIE, UGH. DO NOT WANT :|

6. They really are the jumpier ones, aren't they?

7. Gokudera always plans ahead, trufax. And it reminds me of the Sky Ring battle, when he was protecting Lambo from Levi.

I'm slightly disappointed that Gokudera didn't bring his "right hand" sleeping bag.

[identity profile] demoerin.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww, I think Gokudera ships them.
This line is the single thing that redeems Julie's World Of No. Thank you. I mean, Lambo+Gokudera and Gokudera+actual good sense were great, but during the actual reading of the chapter all the awesome was diluted because I just kept thinking "Julie has not died graphically in a fire". This is an injustice. And why did it have to go from asskicker Adelheid to apparently sad little sub Adelheid?

[identity profile] bearit.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
GD JULIE, SHE TOPS YOU, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

ADELHEID TOPS EVERYONE THAT'S EVER EXISTED. EVER. MAYBE EVEN G, TOO IF THEY WERE IN THE SAME TIME PERIOD. Julie, go away now. Just... go awaaaaaaay. ;-;

And Gokudera really was full of so much love in this chapter. :3 How he's grown over the course of the series! <3

So basically they're all one big bundle of shaken nerves, down to only the panickiest, jumpiest trio from their original seven,

I never thought about it before, but you're right. If not for Reborn, they'd be so doomed. ... they still might be, unless Reborn is really that awesome (and dammit, he probably is--Prison Break Arc, he'll probably be leading the charge if not Yamamoto, which I am also hoping for... DUDE. Reborn + Yama tag team! WAAAAAANT.)

I really hope Lambo wins this fight, because, man, if I had a hard time with Ryohei getting taken away, a little kid will just KILL me. KICK HIS ASS, LAMBO. (Why do I get the feeling that this fight will also break my heart before the end JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS ARC HAS BEEN. T_T)

[identity profile] beruichi.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Amano should just color everything. Period. Her colorings are amazing~ this coming from an artist who can't even shade properly OTL

Julie~ \o/ I am torn between liking this character and hating him to bits. He's creepy around Chrome, that's for sure. When Chrome saw her trident, I was like, GRAB IT, AND STAB HIM IN THE EYES! ahaha but Adelheid showed up~ WITHOUT SHOWING HER FRONT. Awesome~~~ XD

Yes, yes, yes. JULIE = D.SPADE is canon for me. :)) The way Adelheid keeps saying Julie is one of Simon's guardians, and how unresponsive and indifferent he was about the whole thing, AND how awesome his last bubble was... I have two words: INTERNAL STRIFE. and i like it. :3

Gokuderaaaaaaa~ Yes, I share your platonic OTP~ ♥ He's such a boy scout, that Gokudera. ♥ SUCH A SWEET LITTLE BAD-ASS RIGHT HAND MAN, YES YOU ARE. ♥
basically I'm saying i love this scene so much i could die. ~(♥ω♥)~

Still curious to what Tsuna's pride is. From what Ryohei said, I'm assuming that even if they're all gone he can still handle himself? oh god, they're all gonna lose O.O hell, i have no idea what Reborn is talking about here. but Gokudera shipping Reborn/Tsuna is awesome. *A*

LAMBO! \o/ He's fighting next, GOOD GOD. Remember your scenario? i still don't want to see it but it looks like it is coming true. OTL just, don't die, okay Lambo? ;___; and don't get hurt too badly. You're facing an earthbender judging from the sudden holes popping out of the ground and the rock armor that bastard is wearing. and if you've played as much games as I have, you'll know that lightning/wind element always loses to rock/earth element. LAMBOOOOOO~ o.o

also, please get used to my extremely long comments. XD

DUDE.

The color page was gorgeous. It makes me want to graphic it.

!!

UNF. Julie/Adhel is interesting. Well, Julie himself is interesting I think.

It was cool to actually see Chrome at least, since my beloved Yama-chan won't be around for a million chapters again D: /sobs

AND I HAVE TO ADMIT, I THINK THIS FIGHT WILL BE KIND OF COOL. I kind of can't wait for it. And I want Lambo to win - how cute was he on that last panel? ADORABLE.

AND I AM SO SO SO LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES WITH YOU. Fangirling is plus C:

[identity profile] felinaofl2.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
As soon as the trident popped up, I was like "Grab it Chrome! GRAB IT!" And Julie, why must you be SO GODDAMN BAD CREEPY? Stay the fuck away from Chrome, grah.

"You should know by now that I hate being tied down." Wait, WTF? Julie, I thought you were Mist, not Cloud!

:D Gokudera and Lambo FUN TIMES! YAAAAY! I think Gokudera must've picked up on the crying of us the fandom: "D8 Ryohei's GONE?! ASFDLKHJGF WHO'S GONNA GIVE LAMBO PIGGYBACK RIDES?!" and because he's the most awesome EVER Right-Hand Man, he took it upon himself to pick up the slack.

I look forward to this fight, but... D: I fear the theory you proposed, where Gokudera gets dragged off in Lambo's place. WIN, LAMBO!!!!!

Despite the fact that Julie Mc'Name Twin is like .. ultimate creeper, he makes me like him more and more each chapter. ADELHIED IS OBVIOUSLY JEALOUS SHE CANNOT SEDUCE HIM WITH HER COWTITS. Though the slight juliexadel was kinda cute. I JUST LOVE HIM THOUGH. HIM AND HIS UNCARING. ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS RUN AWAY WITH CHROME. ; ~~ ; <3

GOKUDERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ~ <3333 I still love him as much as i did from the first chapter i saw him in. this solidifies it. I WILL WEAR A COW SUIT AND AN AFRO FOR A PIGGY BACK RIDE. NO KIDDING. * O*

LAMBOOOO. ; A; so obliviously cute. he needs to know what the fuck is going on. BUT MAYBE WE CAN SEE TWENTY YEAR LAMBO AGAIN?! MAYBE. AMANO BE KIND TO US! I MISS TWENTY YEAR!LAMBO. he was so smokin'

AND FINALLY MY LAST POINT: GAH. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH I MISS READING YOUR RANTS. STUPID COLLEGE. *O* I'M BACK NOW THOUGH! with my funky byakuran Christmas icon!

[identity profile] celestes55.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I'm going to pretend that the first four pages of this chapter never happened. Julie just...creeps me the fuck out.

Gokudera giving Lambo grape candies is the most adorable thing ever askldfj;aslj. You know that Gokudera secretly thinks of Lambo as his annoying little bro! Now I worry that your theory will come true, that Lambo will lose but Gokudera will take his place, this will give me warm fuzzies and make me want to sob on my keyboard at the same time

[identity profile] storm-obsession.livejournal.com 2010-10-09 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
you mean you ship gokudera and lambo together?
I hope you mean as friends and all that...
Actually I just kinda realised that if everything goes the way everything has so far in KHR, the final memory of what really happened will only appear AFTER Tsuna and Enma beat each other to a pulp and one of them is doomed to Vindice for life (probably Enma...or both, since it's proven that that's possible) and then by then it'll be too late and everything will start to suck real bad.
And what are the chances of Lambo winning this fight?
Or Gokudera beating Shitt P?

The only comment I haf for this chappie is that lambo looks smaller than the rabbit he was chasing after. I swear that kid is shrinking over time. If u remove that bazooka frm his hair, he prob be none existant. N did I mention he still looks as ugly as hell?

[identity profile] bakememuffins.livejournal.com 2010-10-09 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Some things I have to say:

1. The cover obviously implies Cozart/Giotto.
2. It's obvious Adelheid's a tsundere. With big busts, that gets bigger every time Enma trips. And Julie's a manwhore. And a pedocreep.
3. Gokudera finally grew up. Or he's plotting to kill Lambo behind Tsuna's back
4. Next chapter: small vs. big! AKA Lambo vs. Rauji. Hilarious, Amano. Extremely hilarious.

I wonder when will the Gokudera vs. Shitt P. battle comes? :/
