You guys will never guess what super-embarrassing thing I am listening to.
Which is a good thing, since if you don't guess then I don't have to confirm that it is the High School Musical 3 soundtrack, and that I am only partly enjoying it ironically. So don't guess!Oh and hey KHR 321 is out!
1. It may have been two weeks, but I still remembered that Adelheid is hot! So this reminder wasn't strictly necessary. It is, however, appreciated! I especially enjoy her look of supreme disdain at Hibari's super-froofy uniform. HIBARI, I FAILED TO NOTICE THIS BACK IN THE LAST CHAPTER, BUT... ARE YOU WEARING A CRAVAT?
2. Tsuna wants to get a close-up view of violence? SOMETHING ABOUT THIS STRIKES ME AS HIGHLY UNCHARACTERISTIC. But I can't quite put my finger on what. --Oh, wait, now I have it! EVERYTHING.
Adelheid, you had better cross weapons with him, I was banking on a highly entertaining fight and I am not looking to be disappointed here.
3. Yes, see? Like this! This is super hot. I like this.
Sweet Moses the girl can jump! And what in the hell is happening to everyone's eyes on this page?? Tsuna appears to have reentered Blue Screen of Death mode (as
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
mecomptane so appropriately put it), and Adelheid is... uh......doing... this...? Well... I'm sure that if anything goes wrong, Sokka and Katara will come along a hundred years later and unfreeze her.
4. Hmm. Interesting plan, Adelheid. Let's make up a list of pros and cons for this plan.
PROS:
- Well I would just like to see him get that armband now!
CONS:
- I have this hilarious mental image of Hibari and co. just staring at frozen Adelheid for a minute or two and then just... shrugging and walking off to go battle some other more obliging person.
- Though I suppose if they did do that the Vindice would pop up out of nowhere again and be all "LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER , MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRRS." So no.
- --oh! WHAT IF THEY GOT LIKE. A GIANT BURLAP SACK. AND COVERED THE ICE CASTLE WITH IT. Would that technically count as capturing the armband? IT COULD! I SAY IT COULD!
5. On the other hand! Anything that can fend off even the dreaded Byakuran-disentegrating X-Burner is definitely commanding of my respect! *_*
Also, Adelheid is so freaking hot oh my god oh my GOD. Friends, by now you may have begun to notice a running theme of "ADELHEID! SO HOT" in this review. I apologize for my raging hormones and ADD. But I'm only human!
6. Plus it's pretty clear that even Hibari wants to tap that BUT ANYWAY! Adelheid is finally going to address that whole "how are you going to get his armband if you're trapped inside your absolute defense ice tower?" issue! It appears...
...that her plan was to KO Hibari via nosebleed! HOLY--! JUST LET HER DO IT, HIBARI! YOU WILL NEVER STUMBLE ACROSS A BETTER WAY TO DIE. unf oh lord THIS CHAPTER!!1 how come no one warned me I would need an extra pair of pants by the time I was finished?!
7. Aw man, this attack is totally wasted on these guys. At least Gokudera is blushing a little bit. And yes, Reborn, it is impressive you dull, de-emphasizing bastard.
Heh, even Spade is tolerable when he's flashbacking to all those times that Adelheid saved the Simon family by being made of pure awesome. (ALSO IS THAT A PANEL OF A CERTAIN SOMEONE PUNCHING KATOU FUCKING JULIE IN THE FUCKING FACE? 8D AND WHAT A FINE PANEL IT IS.)
8. Goddess of Victory! Hell yeah! Boy, this chapter sure is in love with Adelheid. We are just about reaching the point where if this was the Naruto fandom, disgruntled fans would be starting to make sarcastic remarks about how Amano should just change the title to "Adelheid" already.
9. YAY, SEXY FIGHTINGS. |D
And here is yet another advantage to this sexy clone attack--finally we really get to see Hibari let loose. LOOK AT HIM HACKING SOMEONE TO PIECES AND THEN TURNING AND POSING FOR THE FOURTH WALL CAMERA LIKE THAT. WHERE CAN I PLAY THIS VIDEO GAME? WHEN IS CHAPTER 322 COMING OUT. GODDAMN.
10. SPECIAL BONUS ROUND! AMANO PRESENTS: IMPLAUSIBLE WHAT-IF SCENARIOS JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT!
Q. WHAT IF... SQUALO WAS AN ENGLISH TEACHER?!
A. HE WOULD WEAR A SWEATER VEST AND SHOUT AT TSUNA ABOUT THE PROPER WAY TO SAY "PENCIL"!!!
Q. WHAT IF... CHROME DOKURO WAS A BARBER?!
A. EVERYONE WOULD LOOK LIKE COSPLAYERS! Though I think it might go a long way toward de-uglifying Namimori's generic bully population.
Q. WHAT IF... BYAKURAN WORKED AT A VEGETABLE STAND?!
A. CABBAGE-FLAVORED MARSHMALLOWS?!?!
Q. WHAT IF... AOBA KOUYOU WAS A CHEF?!
A. I LOVE THIS MANGA. ;_;
AMANO. AS EVER. YOU ARE MY FAVORITE.
Happy Belated Birthday to
nonoji and calciseptine! And Happy Birthday to bearit tomorrow (and felinaofl2 on the 17th)! Much ♥ to you all!

i didn't comment on your last review, but just saying, hibaba's uniform just kinda killed it for me. i still love him and everything, but the uniform is a disappoint. needless to say, i just want to watch this fold out because i can't choose sides ;w;
BUTBUTBUT I LOVED THOSE EXTRA SPECIAL ROUNDS. OMG YESSS. BYAKURAN MAKE MY MONTH. OOOOOHHH YEEESSS.

hibaba
omg. *FILES AWAY FOR FUTURE USE*
Heh, I kinda dig his uniform though. There's something so ultra-stylized and mangaish about it that I can't help but find it both awesome and hilarious.
And man, that Extra Edition at the end killed me. I WANT ONE EVERY WEEK. MAKE MORE, AMANO! WHAT IF ROKUDOU MUKURO WAS A NUN?! WHAT IF GOKUDERA HAYATO MADE BALLOON ANIMALS?! ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!
no subject
to pose and take photos with him and be bffsha! so you like my personal nickname for him? the hibari obsessed freak i am. i find his uniform silly but not completely out of the question because he is a freak also, and no doubt he'll object going into life and death battle without his uniform on. i bet if he didn't wear to uniform once he would turn into dino without his men. i swear. i bet it's like some sort of comfort blanket, but in clothing. idk, i don't make sence
WHAT IF KEN WAS A DOCTOR? WHAT IF CHIGUSA WAS A OPTICIAN? WHAT IF REBORN WAS A NURSERY TEACHER? /shivers/
no subject
Lol, I love it. Much like Hibari himself, it is adorable and cracks me up. And yeah, Hibari's going to be buried in his school uniform. Though they did somehow manage to get him to wear a suit to the inheritance ceremony, IIRC. ...Then again, they all got their asses kicked there, so you could be onto something with this theory. :O
WHAT IF RYOHEI TOOK PEOPLE ON SAFARIS WHAT IF KUSAKABE WAS A MIME??!
no subject
glad you like then, hehehe. personally, i find him cute and adorable too. yeah, i suppose he is. i can imagine it actually - him growing old and yet still wearing his uniform. pfffffffffft. okok, let's just say he'll grow weak if he's not wearing formal attire. at least, hibaba gets to break some of his curse as he grows older lolol... idk honestly
WHAT IF SHOUICHI WAS A BAKER? WHAT IF HIBARI WAS IN SWAN LAKE?!!!!!!!
no subject
And I don't think anything would turn Hibari on more than being able to fight 500 gorgeous ice babes with their boobs hanging out. HIS EYES IN THE LAST PANEL ARE FULL OF bloodLUST!
no subject
Heh, Hibari to me seems just about the most asexual guy who ever lived, but I figure even someone like him has to have his limits. Fighting 500 ultra-sexy clones of his female alter-ego who just might be the strongest opponent he's ever faced OUGHT TO DO IT, I THINK.
no subject
Oh you laugh now but 20 chapters later he'll probably be pulling some xanatos gambit to turn the world's vegetables into candy to ruin people's teeth so he drill into the earth's core and raise an army of lava man.

AND ALWAYS!
but 20 chapters later he'll probably be pulling some xanatos gambit to turn the world's vegetables into candy to ruin people's teeth so he drill into the earth's core and raise an army of lava man.
...why does this somehow sound completely IC to me? XD
no subject
Other than that, why the hell is Enma the boss of Shimon? I forget. XD
(Btw, maybe we need to change your Byakuran icon. It says he won the 2010 Dick Olympics, but since the entrance of Spade, I'm more willing to say that Byukaran won the Spring Olympics and Spade the Autumn Olympics, Y/N? XDb)
no subject
And Enma is the boss for the same reason that Tsuna is the boss; somehow he has the charisma to get all of these stronger, smarter, and generally much more leaderly people somehow fall in line behind him. Heh, I love that Adelheid was for all intents and purposes the head of the Simon family for all those years, though. She is amazing.
(Lol, I was thinking about that a few weeks back. But I'm inclined to think of the Dick Olympics as more of an annual than biannual thing, so since Spade came late into the game, I think he's out of luck for 2010. 2011's definitely his year, though, I can feel it. AND JUST FOR YOU, SPADE, THIS YEAR WE HAVE MODIFIED THE AWARD SO THAT IT COMES IN THE FORM OF A PUNCH TO THE FACE. Just for you we did this. ♥)
no subject
You'll have to work hard before she puts out, Hibari!True, but not even Tsuna has had a person like Adelheid who basically raised the rest of the members to get things to work.
Which is probably why the Vongola is that much more inefficient. XDb(See, I couldn't decide which would be best, but I agree. Annual is better. CONGRATULATIONS, SPADE. WE HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY YOUR PRIZE. Also: ILU so much, bb. SO MUCH. ♥)
no subject
And yeah, I agree that Adelheid is sure as hell qualified to be the boss, and then some. BUT ENMA IS A SHINY BUTTERFLY WITH THE BLOOD OF SIMON COZART IN HIS VEINS or something, you know. XD
(Maybe just for Spade, we'll make the award biannual JUST THIS ONCE so that he can receive his prize again. |D Lol, and thank you! ILU TOO. ♥)
no subject
I think Adelheid is, well, the only one who's actually qualified to be a mob boss, out of the entire cast.
Nono included.XD OH RIGHT, CAN'T FORGET THESE SHINY BUTTERFLIES, OF COURSE THEY SHOULD BE THE LEADERS.(Yes, so he can recieve his award early. ... But do you think Byakuran would be okay with it or would he launch another world domination scheme just to prove that "NO, HE REALLY IS THE WINNER OF 2010, SPADE WILL HAVE TO WAIT"? Love is all around~♥)<7font>
no subject
So since Adelheid has the ice flame I was half expecting her to call forth Hyorinmaru or something. Hibari slicing through those clones was hot, but I hope this doesn't mean he beats her in like 2 panels next time. I want to see more sexy posing and taunting and hand to hand fighting...preferably for the next 5 chapters or so. Mmmhmm.
no subject
And I agree about Hibari and the clones. But like I was saying to
And 5 chapters might be pushing it if all we got was more of the same (I love sexy fighting action but I couldn't stand to have the plot put on hold for that long), but if Amano mixed in some more cool new attacks and strategies in there, hell yeah, whatever she wants to do is fine by me. And part of me is still wondering if Hibari will get some character development like Lambo did. THAT WOULD BE SUPER AMAZING but I probably shouldn't get my hopes up too much, oh well. XD At least Adelheid got more backstory in this chapter.

Lol, I know what you mean, though. But I'm actually loving his shell shock in the last couple of chapters. It's completely understandable, and the conflict that he's going through--on the one hand, if his family doesn't win the rest of these battles then the Vindice will send them to prison forever; but on the other hand, every time a member of Simon loses, Enma loses another friend, and Tsuna feels directly responsible for the pain that he's going through--has to be one of the most layered developments we've ever had in this manga. Good guys that might not necessarily be doing the right thing? Bad guys who might actually be justified in their desire for revenge? Why KHR, is that an increasing level of gray among your stark blacks and whites that I detect, or is it just me? And I am all for it, but then again, I live for this kind of stuff, so. XD YAY ANGST.

2. Tsuna wants to get a close-up view of violence? SOMETHING ABOUT THIS STRIKES ME AS HIGHLY UNCHARACTERISTIC. But I can't quite put my finger on what. --Oh, wait, now I have it! EVERYTHING.
He's creeping me out. He's completely out of it if he's deciding that following Hibari's tender advice is a good plan. (Although it's sweet that he does, in spite of all his well-deserved nervousness regarding the guy, trust Hibari at this low point.)
Well... I'm sure that if anything goes wrong, Sokka and Katara will come along a hundred years later and unfreeze her.
*SNORT*
Although I'm disappointed by the diamond castle, I also wanted a knock-down drag-out fight. Of course Hibari will have to break her out of it in the next chapter, so no point being disappointed yet.
--oh! WHAT IF THEY GOT LIKE. A GIANT BURLAP SACK. AND COVERED THE ICE CASTLE WITH IT. Would that technically count as capturing the armband? IT COULD! I SAY IT COULD!
Thinking outside the box - I like it! That would TOTALLY COUNT.
Also, Adelheid is so freaking hot oh my god oh my GOD.
I maintain that the hottest Adelheid is in that flashback panel when she's pitching for Kaoru. No ridiculous breasts, all business + a baseball cap.
We are just about reaching the point where if this was the Naruto fandom, disgruntled fans would be starting to make sarcastic remarks about how Amano should just change the title to "Adelheid" already.
This annoys you about Naruto fandom too? Ace. Admittedly I wasn't keeping up with the manga for a long time and I quite like Sasuke, but shut up, fandom. Sasuke IS also a main character, and his development is important to Naruto's.
Kouyou as a chef made me like the character! Hilarious (also, slightly creepy. This meal ... died in horrible pain? D:) uses for superpowers is always a winner.
no subject
Taking up peacocking in your spare time, are we, Hibird?(And lol, "Bet on It" has to be one of my favorite songs in the entire franchise just for the sheer hilarity of Efron FROLICKING THROUGH A GOLF COURSE and staring at his weird CGI reflection while singing about how the world's not gonna get him down! MAGNIFICENT.)Heh, it is creepy and at the same time I just really want to hug him. Hmm. Come to think, it's not too far off from how I felt about Enma back when he was first introduced. XD (And I agree, it is sweet that even when he's this out of it he still instinctively trusts his family members, even the lunatic ones.)
Yeah, this fight is hopefully just getting started. Still want to see a lot more of Adelheid in action before things wrap up. She hasn't used those fans enough yet!
I maintain that the hottest Adelheid is in that flashback panel when she's pitching for Kaoru. No ridiculous breasts, all business + a baseball cap.
I did like that. Tomboyish Adelheid kicking ass in her youth... like everything else we've learned about her so far, it made me adore her even more. DAMN, ADELHEID, STOP BEING MY PERFECT WOMAN!
This annoys you about Naruto fandom too? Ace.
YES. So much. Oh god I could get into a giant rant about the Naruto fandom's overblown hatred of Sasuke (well, approximately half of the fandom, anyway; the other half is usually too busy hating on Sakura or Karin to spare time for Uchiha hate), but I WON'T because once I start I know that will be a slippery slope and I will never shut up again. But man, the Naruto fandom sure did (does?) have their share of drama and then some. Sigh.
(also, slightly creepy. This meal ... died in horrible pain? D:)
YOU KNOW THAT MADE YOU HUNGRY SECRETLY. Lol, Aoba. It almost made up for his entire battle with Ryohei, that.

Reborn if you're going to cut the tension with perceptive axioms, do it properly or not at all!
also has anyone seen that sailor moon movie where the ice queen antagonist sends out her icy minions to do her bidding in a situation strikingly similar to the one we have here?
okay, just me and a horrible taste in movies thenno subject
And I've seen all the Sailor Moon movies, and I remember enjoying at least two out of three (which one was the one with the pied piper storyline? I recall liking that one especially), buuuuut I can't for the life of me remember any ice queens with ice minions. Oh man, I need to watch Sailor Moon again now. XD
