omg omg

I spent all day waiting to sit down and read this chapter. I haven't even looked at my flist in like 24 hours out of fear that I might be inadvertently spoiled. *PARANOID*

So... NO PRESSURE, AMANO.

1. Who is this woman and what has she done with Hibari? Seriously, if it weren't for the lack of giant breasts, I would almost suspect that Adelheid had secretly done away with him at some point during the battle and is now disguised as him. Oh KHR, your fair and sparkly bishounen are getting fairer and sparklier with each passing day.

He's so gorgeous he's making poor Tsuna have hormones! TSUNA, CALM DOWN, YOU ALREADY HAVE LIKE SIX BOYFRIENDS.

ANYWAY.

2. "VINDICE!" You know, the first panel was vague enough that for a short while I thought Tsuna actually screamed that before they showed up, and I was already speculating about whether his hyper intuition was finally being useful again, or whether the previous battles had conditioned him to freak out and cast about wildly for CREEPY SHADOW PEOPLE every time they finished a fight, or (the most interesting option) whether he was actually calling for them. And I was all set to go, "WHOA, TSUNA, THEY'LL BE HERE SOON ENOUGH TAKE IT EASY THERE!" but I guess it turns out that I'm the one who needs to calm down and actually READ THE CHAPTER before I jump to stupid conclusions!

That said, BONDAGE ADELHEID both makes me sadface and PISSES ME THE HELL OFF. I don't even know why, but I'm way more pissed about her getting hauled off to jail than I was with anyone else, even Shitt P and Ryohei. It's like, who the hell do these guys think they are chaining her up and inhibiting her ability to kick ass, WHAT IS THIS. 8|

3. BUT BEHOLD, THE FOURTH KEEEEEEY

IT'S A FANCY INKWELL, PRESUMABLY CONTAINING FANCY INK INTENDED FOR USE WITH THE OFFICIAL VONGOLA FANCY STATIONERY! INSERT JOKE ABOUT HEY REMEMBER HOW THE OFFICIAL VONGOLA STATIONERY IS PINK HAHA, MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT'S THIS, IS THAT A DISTINCT LACK OF OXYGEN MASK ON THE FACE OF YAMAMOTO "IN A COMA FOR LIKE 10 FUCKING MONTHS NOW" TAKESHI??????? OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, REMEMBER TO TAKE BREATHS, THE FLASHBACK HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET FOR FUCK'S SAKE, oh lord at this rate I am not going to make it through this whole chapter.

4. OKAY! FLASHBACK! HERE WE GO!

The Primos appear to be playing and possibly losing at a gentlemanly game of Risk, when who should come running up but Knuckle! The following conversation ensues:

"TERRIBLE NEWS GIOTTO, YOUR ON-AGAIN-OFF-AGAIN LOVER COZART IS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF ENEMY TERRITORY!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING THERE? ACTUALLY, FORGET THAT EXTREMELY PERTINENT QUESTION, LET'S JUST SKIP TO THE PART WHERE I RESCUE HIM."
"NO, GIOTTO, SOMETHING SOMETHING EXCUSE, YOU CAN'T! BUT I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT, DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT!"
"THANK YOU, DAEMON! SINCE I TRUST YOU IMPLICITLY I'LL JUST LEAVE YOU TO THAT!"
"VERY WELL. ... ... *SMIRK*"

5. I have to say, I was really expecting a more betrayally flashback in a chapter entitled "BETRAYAL." Anyway, the guardians fall to discussing these new and intriguing developments, and I guess Giotto's Good Guy Aura must have been so clear and shiny that for once even they couldn't miss it. Even Adelheid stops arguing, having seen the sense in Reborn's theory. MAYBE WE CAN SORT THIS OUT LIKE REASONABLE HUMAN BEINGS AFTER A--

--*facepalm*

6. Whoa, hold on a sec, though. I actually did not see this one coming! Spade, did you just make a mistake here? It still seems just a bit early in the game to reveal your hand! Then again, I guess that flashback did kind of screw you over a bit. THANK YOU, FLASHBACK.

At least he's prettier this way. Note to self: Do not stare into his eyes for too long. IT CAN AND WILL WEAKEN YOUR RESOLVE TO HATE HIM FOR ALL ETERNITY.

7. Spade is now monologuing but I don't think he took into account the extreme thickness of his audience. You kind of have to beat them over the heads with the information, dude. Otherwise they will just stand there and say the same obvious things over and over. YES, GUYS, HE'S DEAD BUT YET SOMEHOW STILL ALIVE, CAN WE PLEASE GET PAST THAT AND MOVE ON NOW THANKS.

8. Anyway, Spade you suck and your rationale is flawed and your plan is lame. GO BACK TO LOSERTOWN, LOSER.

And how the hell could Cozart ever have been considered a threat?! He was just sitting there twiddling his thumbs on Nowhere Island for 10 years and then when he finally did jump into action he got himself good and dismembered! Really, was that necessary at all?

Speaking of things that weren't necessary, does it strike anyone else as ironic that before Spade intervened and turned Enma and Tsuna against each other, Tsuna was actually going to turn down the title of Vongola X? If Spade has issues with the Giotto-brand happy fluffy bunny path, all he had to do was sit back and watch as Xanxus or whoever the hell took over the family instead and turned it back down the PATH THAT ROCKS.

9. OH MY GOD JULIE FLASHBACK! MINI SIDE RANT AHEAD.

I SHIP IT!!
oh my god. "I JUST FELT YOU UP WITH BOTH HANDS, JEEZ! HOW COULD YOU HIT A GUY WITH GLASSES ._."
I LOVE HIS LAME HATS!
"I'M OPENING UP TO YOU HERE...!" OH MY GOD OH MY GOD HE REALLY IS A GIANT WOOBIE, THAT ONE FIC WASN'T OOC AFTER ALL! ROMEO AND JULIETTTTT
FFFF HE HAD TO TURN HER BODY SIDEWAYS JUST SO HE COULD STRETCH PAST HER ENORMOUS RACK TO ACTUALLY KISS HER
I SHIP IT!!!!!

--OH MY GOD

NAMETWIN YOU WERE ACTUALLY A SEX GOD ALL ALONG! 8O 8O 8O

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY AND YET SO SAD AT THE SAME TIME OH MY GOD SPADE PLEASE GO DROWN YOURSELF IN A CEMENT MIXER YOU RUINER OF THINGS!!

10. ...OR!

That.

... :o

You know, I thought it was a little odd that everyone had just forgotten Kaoru had ever existed, but WHOA, was not expecting that oh my goodness.

Well... well done, Kaoru. I might have even forgiven you after this good show, had you not chosen to use the exact same method to dispatch Spade that you used on Yamamoto, YOU SICK BASTARD.

God damn it why does the chapter end here! Agh... it's probably just as well, since if I use any more exclamation fees in this post, the Internet is probably going to start charging me overage fees. XD

omg... dying forever. your logic... it's perfect.

THANK YOU. o/ Sadly, it doesn't take much work to utilize better logic than what Spade demonstrated in this chapter. XD

But where would the Vongola Sky Ring go, then? Not to Xanxus, because it rejected him, right? Still, your theory is better than Spade's. >_> I can't get what he's thinking.

Minor gripe: Why is it everyone nowadays seems to forget that the Vongola Sky Ring accepted Tsuna, and that Tsuna is the only heir left with true Vongola blood? Didn't Amano point those factors out a gazillion times as requirements for being Vongola Boss?

You know, I thought it was a little odd that everyone had just forgotten Kaoru had ever existed

I drew a total blank at that page. It was just "who the hell is that guy"?

Heh, if it weren't for me desperately trying to keep my rage-on for him strong with every new Yamamoto-less week, I'd probably have forgotten him as well. He just... disappeared. XD

akwjdgsyufksuyfg; THIS CHAPTER HAS TO HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITE CHAPTER OF THIS ARC. HANDS. DOWN.

asdghiufgliuhsdi that flashback was too adorable ;u;

AND OH MAN MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY ON NOT EXPECTING KAORU TO COME IN GUNS A'BLAZIN'. Though now I'm all "askdf;gisdhflasuh DDDD8" 'cause.... isn't that JULIE'S body?

It's up there, probably in my top 5 (well, maybe top ten... awesome as it was, the huge chasms in Spade's logic kind of bumped it down a notch for me). Nothing tops the emotional punch-you-in-the-feelings KO of chapter 294, and I was also a sucker for the angst in chapters 317/318, and I can't in good conscience as a 59 fan rank it above the chapter where Gokudera beat Shitt P, and then there was also that one chapter with the VEGETABLE COSTUMES and that was on a whole new level of what-the-fuck-is-this-shit-awesome.

But this is easily a solid 6! ...or maybe 7, after the first Primo flashback we got where Giotto and Cozart were just so, so delightfully gay that it both warmed my heart and brought on many a chuckle.

ANYWAY lol, yes, Kaoru's reappearance was OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING?! OUT OF NOWHERE HE CAME! That was awesome. Though I'm right there with you when it comes to freaking about about Julie's well-being at the moment, since it would be all too easy for Spade to just jump bodies and possess Chrome and leave poor Julie to die a horrible death (we don't even have Ryohei here to keep him alive until the paramedics come this time around D8). NOOOOOO

ashdguldilshaf haha yeahhh the vegetable costumes was an.... interesting chapter to say the least ;u;!

I know man! Somehow I wanna say that he picked up on Julie's odd behavior whenever Spade possessed him. He seems very observant after all 8|a Yeah, I wouldn't put it past Spade to pull something like that. aodsgihsdlfa ;n; I don't know what I'm going to do if Amano kills Julie off.

OH YEAH. you mentioned something about a Julie fanfic o: is it on ffn?

Edited 2011-02-05 01:28 (UTC)

Lol I just posted on my own LJ after a whole day squealing over this chapter. <3

>INSERT JOKE ABOUT HEY REMEMBER HOW THE OFFICIAL VONGOLA STATIONERY IS PINK

...TRUDAT *had forgotten the first pages of the arc*
...Cozart got his love letter in the third flashback on pink paper. I'm dying at the mental image of him thinking "LOL Giotto you're so ~~gay~~ cute."

>"TERRIBLE NEWS GIOTTO, YOUR ON-AGAIN-OFF-AGAIN LOVER COZART IS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF ENEMY TERRITORY!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING THERE? ACTUALLY, FORGET THAT EXTREMELY PERTINENT QUESTION, LET'S JUST SKIP TO THE PART WHERE I RESCUE HIM."
"NO, GIOTTO, SOMETHING SOMETHING EXCUSE, YOU CAN'T! BUT I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT, DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT!"
"THANK YOU, DAEMON! SINCE I TRUST YOU IMPLICITLY I'LL JUST LEAVE YOU TO THAT!"
"VERY WELL. ... ... *SMIRK*"

GIOTTO I HATE YOU YOU'RE AN IDIOT ASDASDGHFSKLFDH ~~also you and him are forever.~~ :'<

>Note to self: Do not stare into his eyes for too long. IT CAN AND WILL WEAKEN YOUR RESOLVE TO HATE HIM FOR ALL ETERNITY.

Fuck yes. Too sexy for his jacket.

>And how the hell could Cozart ever have been considered a threat?! He was just sitting there twiddling his thumbs on Nowhere Island for 10 years and then when he finally did jump into action he got himself good and dismembered! Really, was that necessary at all?

X°°°°°°°°°°°°°D BRB LAUGHING FOREVER BECAUSE THIS IS TRUTH THAT CANNOT BE UNSEEN.

Same as before. X°D

...I want the next chapter and the next flashback, like, now.

I can't afford to ever forget that pink stationery thing; heaven forbid I miss out on an opportunity to relentless and undying fabulousness of the Vongola family! PERISH THE THOUGHT.

YES, GIOTTO IS KIND OF THICK, I GUESS NOW WE KNOW WHERE TSUNA AND CO. GET IT FROM.

And yes, oh my God he is sexy as hell and it is driving me crazy. I wish Kaoru had just punched him in the face instead of impaling him so that a) the resulting broken nose/face-rearranging would have canceled out the hotness, and b) NAMETWIN WOULD STILL HAVE A LIFE EXPECTANCY OF MORE THAN HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER TO COME OUT. T_T

Don't get me wrong, Cozart seemed like a sweet kid, and he could outsexy even Spade without blinking an eye, but from all we've seen so far, a warrior he was not. XD

AND SPADE IS AN IDIOT AND YOU COULD FIT CANADA IN BETWEEN THE GAPS IN HIS PLAN, sigh. Though I kinda like the theory

mecomptane mentioned in one of the comments below, that after a century or two of ghosting around and biding his time, he's a few chicken wings short of a KFC bucket.

KHR dudes are full of pretty but severely lacking in brain.
Despite the whole "Daemon is the REAL bad guy!" thing being revealed (although everyone had figured that out ages ago) I still want to see EPIC FIGHT BETWEEN ENMA AND TSUNA. Because Tsuna's been too busy moping about to be useful.
And if anyone's been keeping score, doesn't it mean that the Vongola have pretty much won every single fight so far...except for Ryohei whom I suspect Amano might have kicked out simply because he was a pretty boring character who just goes "EXTREME!" on a regular basis?

KHR dudes are full of pretty but severely lacking in brain.

This is one of the most succinct and accurate descriptions of KHR I've ever read. XD

And yeah, if we miss out on the Tsuna/Enma fight now I will rage some. But it's pretty much a given that that's still on, given that Amano's been teasing us for so long about it, and Enma is kind of losing it. I don't mind Tsuna's moping, though; I actually really liked that he was so shell-shocked after the revelation about his dad. It was like, "OMG YES A CHARACTER IS ACTUALLY HAVING A REALISTIC REACTION TO A SEVERE EMOTIONAL BLOW!" I'm a sucker for that. XD

And yeah, they have, and at this point I expect the trend to continue, too. Because Yamamoto is due for some payback, and the thought of main character Tsuna actually losing to Enma when everything is really on the line is so absurd I can't even conceive of it. Just, not gonna happen. XD

BUT HEY TAKE IT EASY ON MY MAN RYOHEI. His fight was boring, yes, but I was really enjoying him having a semi-main character role for a while there leading up to it. It was pretty heartbreaking to see him floating in the Vindice fishtank during the flashback this week. T_T RYOHEIII

...I actually think she might have gotten him out of the way just because she had enough characters to keep track of already. After the ridiculousness that was the final Future Arc battle, with the endless reaction panels and unsatisfying lack of focus on any individual character due to there being 40-something of them on the field all at once, I like to think she's learned her lesson.

BY THE WAY, Happy Birthday! ♥ ♥

Ahahaha! Thank you!

Oh wells. There really isn't much to do when you're a casual bystander watching the main character dual with a weirdo from the future. If they'd tried throwing rocks at Byakuran it would have been interesting but might hit Tsuna/steal the limelight.

Note to self: Do not stare into his eyes for too long. IT CAN AND WILL WEAKEN YOUR RESOLVE TO HATE HIM FOR ALL ETERNITY.

OHGOD I LIKED HIM IN THE BEGINNING AND NOW I CAN'T STOP STARING

And Julie/Adelheid was the most adorable thing ever!! Julie used to annoy me when he was creeping on Chrome but the flashbacks made me like him again...AAAAAAAGH SPADE WTH MAN

WE HAVE TO RESIST! REMEMBER THAT DESPITE THE GORGEOUSNESS HE IS A HORRIBLE PERSON!

And yes, Julie/Adelheid was so much win in just a few panels. In a chapter filled with awesome, that was pretty much the crowning glory IMO. OH NAMETWIN, TO THINK I EVER DOUBTED YOU.

I think Kaoru just stress-shanks things, he can't help it. It's like kicking your leg after something hits you in the knee, TIMES ONE MILLION.

That would explain the unfortunate massacre that took place that one time when they threw him a surprise birthday party. :O

I couldn't help laughing at Lambo when Spade revealed himself. WHAT A WEIRD0.

and asdfgak I WORRY FOR JULIE NOW THOUGH. If Daemon's possessing his body, Julie got stabbed through the stomach too.

Lambo can always be counted on to have the best reactions to everything. "OMG AN ISLAND, LET'S GO SWIMMING!" "OH MY GOD MY BEST FRIEND LARGE WHO WANTS TO KILL ME, LET'S PLAY A GAME!" "OH MY GOD A PRIMO GUARDIAN WHO IS REVEALING HIMSELF AS THE OVERARCHING VILLAIN OF THE RECENT EVENTS, WHAT A WEIRDO!" XDDDD

And I am super worried about Julie too. Especially since they don't even have any healers on site this time. And Spade can just jump bodies to Chrome and leave Julie there to die in agony ffffffffff. After what she pulled with Gamma and Uni, I wouldn't put it past Amano either. D:

I hyperventilated when I saw a oxygen-mask-less Yamamoto and then I was surprised with Spade's real motive but I was most shocked with Kaoru appearing out of the hammer-space and stabing Spade ala Yamamoto and Tsuna watching, seeing how Kaoru almost killed Yamamoto.

Yeah, this chapter was just one shock after another, with Kaoru's appearance easily topping them all. OUT OF NOWHEEEEERE. And I wonder if Tsuna and Gokudera will put the pieces together after witnessing this and realize that this is what happened to Yamamoto too, and if so, whether the fact that Kaoru just made an attempt to kill the Big Bad will be even close to enough to make up for it (a certain someone did say HE WON'T FORGIVE WHOEVER DID THIS, so I'm guessing no XD).

Oh man I am going to go insane waiting for 325. INSANE. NEXT WEEK WHERE ARE YOU!?!

Oh I hope that someone at least bitch-slaps Kaoru (I can dream, OK!)

Days go slower when you're waiting for something DDDDDDX *goes insane with u*

If Spade didn't like the way Giotto was running things then why didn't he kill Giotto instead of letting him live in Japan and having Tsuna several generations down the line which Spade is now trying to kill?

I still don't get why Vindice is involved in all of this, why do they have those trinkets in the first place and what kind of shitty rule involves jailing the losers and why is it a pride battle of all things and why don't they just hand over the pretty trinkets so we can get this over with I keep expecting the Cervello to pop up somewhere where the heck are those guys who are usually involved in mindfuck huh?

Kaoru I still hate your guts and just because you stabbed Spade does not mean you did not stab Yamamoto and I think you just like to stab people and you idiot you just stabbed Julie you happy stabbity person I bet you stab random mooks in your free time.

That did occur to me, but I think that even though Spade obviously had issues with how Giotto was running things, he didn't necessarily want to kill the guy. I mean, there must have been something approaching respect there once; Giotto got him to join Vongola to begin with, after all. And the end of the Primo Arc seemed to hint that even now, Spade is secretly just as gay for the boss as the rest of the guardians are, so. Maybe there is/was something resembling a soul deep, deep down there? Like, miles deep? Maybe?

And yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck the Vindice have to do with any of this, and why they have these magical little trinkets that clearly show that Spade was behind the whole Vongola/Simon misunderstanding barely more than halfway in. IF THEY KNEW THAT, THEN WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST TELL EVERYONE? Why are they being forced to battle for their freedom? IT MAKES NO SENSE, are they just doing it for the lulz??

AND YES, Kaoru has not so much been redeemed as just proven ultra-stab-happy. The slightest provocation and the next thing you know there's a hole in someone's torso! Dude needs to CALM THE FUCK DOWN. XD

Another thing about that, Giotto couldn't have been happy with what Spade did. Just what DID Giotto do about it? Did he figure out Spade sent his best friend Cozart out to die? Don't tell me he's just been parking out his ass in Japan making babies in the hopes Tsuna would be born.

Not related but...if it were me, I'd do it. For the LULZ! ~~Byakuran did it for the LULZ so I don't see why I can't.~~

"down the PATH THAT ROCKS."

Channeling Kronk's shoulder demon, eh? XD

Holy cow--I really have no idea HOW IN THE WORLD AMANO KEEPS SURPRISING US LIKE THIS?!?! First of all--Daemon spilling his guts this early? WHY?! And second--usually after his speal the bad guy takes his leave, BUT HE GETS FREAKIN' RUN THROUGH!! THAT'S SO AWESOME!

Though, while it may have redeemed Kaoru a bit, after I got past the fact that he got Daemon and wasn't standing around like an idiot like the others--NOW I SEE WHAT HE DID TO YAMAMOTO AND THE THOUGHT OF OUR BELOVED BASEBALL IDIOT HAVING THAT RUN THROUGH HIM....

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~! ;A;

And uh...what's that gonna do to our sweet ~~pervert~~Julie? I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU THAT I SHIP THEM!! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!

So here's my thoughts on what happens in the next chapter--Daemon goes "Damn this body's no good no more" then takes over poor Chrome and runs away, everyone goes to help Daemon-possessing-Julie-turned-Julie, poor Adel is dragged away screaming the name of her beloved, they bring a dying Julie to where Enma is experiencing horrible hot flashes, they try to figure out what to do, Kaoru gets a nice solid punch by Goku, AND THEN BYAKURAN ENTERS THE SCENE WITH ZOMBIE!YAMAMOTO TO HELP THEM ACCORDING TO HIS OWN NEFARIOUS NEEDS WHICH INCLUDES TAKING OVER THE WORLD WITH HIS ARMY OF UNICORNS COVERED IN PRETTY FLOWERS MUNCHING ON MARSHMALLOW FRUITS AND VEGGIES!

So gonna happen. XD

~~how do you make the text flash all pretty like that?~~

XD Best. Byakuran plan. EVER!!

I knew it. I knew Spade was the mastermind dick behind all of this. Byakuran, you've met your match.

Also, poor Adelheid and Julie. Yes, I ship it too now. Never saw it coming, but wow.

Only thing that makes me sad about Kaoru doing what he does best (maiming unsuspecting people) is that he just went loco on poor Julie's body.

NGGGGGHGHHHHHH

This was another one of those chapters that we haven't had in a long time, the ones where the cliff-hanger...is just painful and sort of makes me go short of breath after I gasp for a minute.

I....was desperately hoping that it was gonna be Yamamoto running him through...

And I was totally about to bring the lack of oxygen mask up before I noticed that you had noticed it too, lol. I'm like...at the edge of my seat for the next chapter!

Who is this woman and what has she done with Hibari?
My thoughts exactly LOL

does it strike anyone else as ironic that before Spade intervened and turned Enma and Tsuna against each other, Tsuna was actually going to turn down the title of Vongola X?
I have the growing suspicion that they just haven't told him yet. They want to see what happens when he realises that all his efforts were basically pointless. Perhaps they expect him to self-destruct. Or maybe inflate? Turn to dust? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE \o/

I'm worried about Julie's vessel, now that Kaoru's stabbed what he thinks is "Daemon..."

I SHIP IT TOO. &hearts

Ok, Adelheid's reaction to Julie groping her is too adorable. /ships

I'm wondering how Kaoru feels now that he's found out that he nearly killed a friend for a now invalid reason. Ah, I hope someone writes fic for that glorious angstfest!

I'm still flailing over the awesome that is this chapter. This chapter. So much awesome. Spade revealing himself to everyone to be the asshole, Yamamoto's very very suspicious panel (NO BREATHING MASK *SPAZZES*), the heartbreak of seeing Ryohei in the tank (is it Prison Break Arc yet?), Knuckle getting speaking lines omg (seriously, I thought the only Primos Amano cared about were Giotto, Spade, and G, and maybe Alaude), Adelheid/Julie becoming canon (I SHIP IT NOW TOO), andandand KAORU. KAORU. I still haven't forgiven him for doing what he did to Yamamoto but he's not my least favorite character anymore and I don't hate him anymore and actually I kind of love him a little even if I'm still livid about Yamababy. >:O

Speaking of things that weren't necessary, does it strike anyone else as ironic that before Spade intervened and turned Enma and Tsuna against each other, Tsuna was actually going to turn down the title of Vongola X?
Aside from the classic villain monologuing where the villain reveals his evil plans to the protagonist, this is another mistake Spade made: not doing his research. Or maybe he just likes the bloodshed, I don't know. SPADE YOU TROLLY TROLL.

_{I have likened the discovery of the extreme use of Julie/Adelheid icons in response to this post. OKAY, MAYBE THERE IS ONLY ONE AND ONE JULIE, BUT THAT IS A LOT.

UNF. I think it's so cute~~

Well... well done, Kaoru. I might have even forgiven you after this good show, had you not chosen to use the exact same method to dispatch Spade that you used on Yamamoto, YOU SICK BASTARD.

AGREED, WHAT THE HELL? And now Julie might be like dead for realz. D: But Amano likes to keep us on the edge of our seats - - especially as of late. This whole arc--!!

And I don't know how I feel about mopey!Tsuna. I know he's all like 'rejuvenated' from watching Hibari, but I've wanted to punch him in the forehead for quite some time. Hopefully he'll be all awesome again soon...}

Edited 2011-02-04 15:53 (UTC)

you know for a shitty week in which i got rejected for a scholarship AND my dream job teaching english in japan...this kinda made my day XD

Dude, for a second when Spade started monologuing about "for the sake of Vongola" i was soooo afraid we were gonna get another Shou-chan theory of "i'm not really a bad guy I just do things that look bad as a means to a quite non-bad end.....LOL!"

aaaand then Spade....in a way....*didn't* do that....um...seriously though...logic! Where are you?! I mean, I would expect better from a being that's been around x amount of years secretly plotting away....seriously! what gives?!

DUDE I TOTALLY SHIP THAT TOO NOW OMG WHY DOES HE HAVE TO LOOK SO INNOCENT WITH THAT SMILE?!

....................WAIT WAIT WAIT....YAMAMOTO HAD NO COMA MASK ON?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DID I SKIP OVER SEEING THAT?!!! *rushes to click back to that page*

when i saw kaoru, at first it didn't really press into my mind

after all, i just want to know what byakuran was doing. i bet everyone else has forgotten about him anyway

but i do ship Julie/Adelheid though. so cute together ommmmff.

but wow, it sure is easy to get rid of daemon fucking spade if he ends up dying now, which he may not. maybe it would reveal the secrect as to why the fuck is he not six feet under yet

yes, i'm still not sure why

but honestly though, if spade wanted some badass group, he shouldn't go and take control of one and go and make his own, ignoring that fact that it would take a long time etcetc but honestly though, after primo just going 'oh yeah sure, you'll do it for me? thanks dude!' i lost a lot of respect for him, tbh

So... not going to lie, I immediately thought that ink well was actually one of those jewelry boxes designed to fit rings in.

SPAAAAADE, your reasoning makes absolutely no sense to me. Or it does, but there's about a million plot holes in it. I think

metisket's piece "mist" might actually have some credence to it: Spade seems like he's lost a lot of IQ points in that last however-many-hundred-years.

Zombie!Moto! It's looked like he hasn't had his mask on for the flashback before, this, too (or since Byakuran showed up, whichever), but that could just be wishful thinking. Speaking of wishful thinking. At some point Mukuro has to show up if Spade wants his body, really.

He's so gorgeous he's making poor Tsuna have hormones! TSUNA, CALM DOWN, YOU ALREADY HAVE LIKE SIX BOYFRIENDS.

At this point I'm just grateful he's having any reaction PERIOD.

"TERRIBLE NEWS GIOTTO, YOUR ON-AGAIN-OFF-AGAIN LOVER COZART IS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF ENEMY TERRITORY!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING THERE? ACTUALLY, FORGET THAT EXTREMELY PERTINENT QUESTION, LET'S JUST SKIP TO THE PART WHERE I RESCUE HIM."
"NO, GIOTTO, SOMETHING SOMETHING EXCUSE, YOU CAN'T! BUT I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT, DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT!"
"THANK YOU, DAEMON! SINCE I TRUST YOU IMPLICITLY I'LL JUST LEAVE YOU TO THAT!"
"VERY WELL. ... ... *SMIRK*"

GIOTTO, WTH. It's nice to have blind faith in your friends/Family, but... DID YOU NOT SCREEN THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE JOINING SAID FAMILY?! D:

Fully agreed about how unnecessary, uh, everything about Spade's plan is. If he'd just left well enough alone then everything would have worked out the way he wants it to, SO. Unless he just likes taking the path with the most death. I could see Spade doing that.

...Adel/Julie. I wasn't sure about this when we saw the Julie-Spade/Adel interaction before, but b'aw, non-Spade!Julie is adorable. I'd probably hit him if I knew him personally, but him with Adelheid gets HEARTS. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I approve of 324! It's always good times when flashbacks are involved! And Spades getting shishkabobed. At least it's some injury, even if it is from Kaoru. (This is how we spell Kaoru, right? It's been so long.)

And ARGH, speaking of that! Also fully agreed with everyone else's "That's how Yamamoto got shanked, AHHHHHH. D:" Tsuna, please don't go back into BSOD mode. PLEASE.

SDLJGASKAGYOLDGHS this chapter. LDSHGAS

Kaoru, the fact that you shanked Daemon Spade is awesome, but the fact that you shanked Julie as well is very much NOT awesome.

I think a good part of the holes in Spade's plans comes from mangastream's shitty translation. Were they always like that? Seriously. It was like, he was stringing a lot of words together, but they only made a superficial sort of sense, like a conversation bot.

The rest of it is, I don't think it ever occurred to Spade that ANYONE in the world would ever NOT WANT to be the boss of the Vongola. Kinda like Sauron couldn't conceive of anyone ever WANTING to destroy the One Ring. After all, it does seem like he thinks the Vongola is the best thing ever, in his weird psychopathic way.

I don't blame Giotto for trusting Spade with Cozart's rescue either, not if Spade had been a trustworthy companion so far - and there's no reason to believe he wasn't, in actions if not in thoughts. If his betrayal had been expected or hinted at before then, he wouldn't have been labelled THE Traitor with capital T by people like Reborn.

My guesses for the future chapters: Tsuna promises Adelheid that he'll save Enma and that'll turn out to be his pride. Meanwhile Daemon Spade takes over Chrome to fight and taunt them with, but sometime during his Bad Guy spiel Chrome gets her heart power on and pushes him out, managing to activate her Vongola Gear all the way from Tsuna's backpack at the same time. And it'll be badass.

In the end, though, there'll be no Prison break arc, because when Tsuna jesuses Enma, the fight between Vongola and Shimon will be considered officially over and the rift fixed and everyone involved will receive a Get Out of Jail Free card. Then the Hunt for Spade will be on.

Um, I keep saying this, but I sincerely doubt any dispatching got done. Maybe only of poor happy-go-lucky girl-crazy Julie, poor chap. But of Spade? Nah.

It also shows that if Kaoru lashed out on Yama this same way, he and the rest of Simon have really been get wrong information.

Am I the only one who hadn't forgotten about Kaoru? As for him lashing out at Spade the same way as Yamamoto... Maybe he doesn't know how to do anything else?

I wonder why I'm defending him... I mean, I really don't care for him all that much. Maybe 3+ years in the Umineko fandom has made me soft?

TSUNA, CALM DOWN, YOU ALREADY HAVE LIKE SIX BOYFRIENDS.

(giggles)

Well this was a Bizarro World for Logic chapter. WTF is Spade's plan? Break The Tsuna to make him Take A Level In Badass?

Goddamn, Spade's EVULness just oozes from him. Originally I found Giotto to be a bit naive/dumb at times, but WOW, does this flashback make him look like a total moron. Where the FUCK is his Hyper Intuition telling him that Spade is a douche who's going to screw over Cozart? Did he not gain H.I. until he wore his Awesome Cape?

.... Wait, no. Now we know why he always had his forehead on fire, 24/7.

Oh, and FUCK YOU, Kaoru. I don't care how much you try to worm you way back into our good graces, you are NEVER going to be "good" again in my book for what you did to our Yama.

i think that kaoru needs some help :'c
it's not nice to stab people.

also thank you for the birthday mention the other post, haha.
