Spoiler-free for the second week in a row!
For KHR 308, that is. Despite the fact that EVERYONE ON MY FLIST seemed to be posting about this chapter, which made me hella curious (I was waiting for IEM's release). IT WAS PRETTY TORTUROUS. But hopefully worth it!
1. This page seems kind of familiar. Where have I seen hilariously intense close-ups of people with feathered hair making "GRAGH" faces before?
...oh yes.
Teehee. Oh, Amano.
2. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Hmm. That didn't seem all that more impressive than the 60 percent, actually. :/ Oh well.
Surely Aoba must be dead this time, right? HE MUST. And poor Lambo, I think he just went blind.
3. Okay, yeah, half the forest just blew up, so I'm pretty sure...
...
...I give up. XD
4. asdlkfj dskfjasdlk sdlfkajsdlf GOD DAMN IT.
THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE STUPIDEST FIGHT I HAVE EVER SEEN. "Their level of pride is something we can hardly imagine." NO, REBORN, WHAT YOU MEANT TO SAY IS, "THEIR LEVEL OF PRIDE IS COMPLETELY RETARDED."
Oh lord are they gonna do the double knock-out.
...Yes. Yes, they are.
WELL, I HOPE YOU TWO ARE FUCKING HAPPY. :|
5. --OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
BAD ALERT. BAD ALERT.
THE DEMENTORS ARE BACK SHIT SHIT. D:
6. FUCK.
Oh my God I just. Is this seriously happening?! RYOHEI NOOOOO. NOT OUR RYOHEI. WHO WILL GIVE LAMBO PIGGYBACKS NOW, GOKUDERA'S SURE AS HELL NOT GOING TO DO IT. WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE LAMBOS?!!
First Yamamoto, then Chrome and now Ryohei. ;_; Jesus this is the worst week ever. Why do I suddenly have the horrible, horrible fear that by the time these pride battles are over, Tsuna will be left all alone? ...And is it bad that he is my prime concern right now? Not Ryohei, who's being dragged to the Vindice's mafia bondage dungeon covered in critical wounds, but Tsuna, who at least is still healthy and accompanied by his pet cow and loyal right hand man?
But I mean, it's Tsuna. To watch his friends be taken away from him one by one--it's like slow torture and it's just really fucking hard to sit here and watch this kid go through that, okay? :(
7. ...hello, what's this? Even though our party member was technically defeated, we still acquired a new reward item?
PFFFT WAIT, WHAT THE HELL. Okay... not sure if I was supposed to laugh or not, but that's what happened. XD Lambo, Julie, and Shitt P are in a three-way tie for most hilarious facial expression ever. Though to be honest, I'm pretty sure Lambo is victorious this day.
Of course, the humor was partially canceled out by the extremely dismaying news that Yamamoto is still as in-a-coma as ever. Amano could have at least omitted his panel and let us cling to false hope. :/
8. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT SEEMS THAT THE NEW ITEM CONTAINED A SERIES OF FLASHBACK PAGES!
AND NOT JUST ANY FLASHBACK PAGES.
THE GAYEST FLASHBACK PAGES EVER. |D
I don't even know where to begin with these, so I'm just going to give you a transcript of how I actually read these panels in my mind.
GIOTTO'S TWIN BROTHER WHO ALMOST HAD ME FOOLED BUT WE ALL KNOW THE REAL GIOTTO NEVER WALKS AROUND WITHOUT FIRST LIGHTING HIS FOREHEAD LIKE A HUMAN CANDLE: Hey, you dropped your wallet.
GUY WHO I ASSUME IS SHIMON COZART, AND WHO MAKES ME HOPE WE'LL SOMEDAY GET A CHANCE TO SEE TYL!ENMA: Gee, thanks, I dropped it on purpose, dickwad. In case you haven't noticed, Paolo's family is starving and I figured I'd help them out. Since we all love Paolo. Good old Paolo.
NOT!GIOTTO: Oh, well, that's cool, we gave him some food so it's all good. And when I say "we", I mean me and my boyfriend here.
G: Yo.
NOT!GIOTTO: Hey, I just noticed I'm wearing suspenders! Bitchin'.
COZART: How about that? It appears we are both decent, charitable human beings! That's hilarious.
NOT!GIOTTO: It is hilarious!
COZART: My name is actually Cozato apparently.
NOT!GIOTTO: Cool, I'm Giotto*. And this is my "companion", G.
COZATO I GUESS: I see those quotation marks.
NOT!GIOTTO: I put them there on purpose.
*HANDSHAKE*
*No you're not, you lying liar.
9. Whoa, and we're back in the present. Well, that just made my whole damn week.
But wait, this chapter's not done yet! Young Chrome has awakened! I guess that sparkly flashback!wallet magic was powerful enough to rouse her from her roofie-induced slumber. What shenanigans will she get herself into now?
10. No, Chrome, that is not Mukuro. That is a bad, bad man. RUN AWAY FAST.
Man, next week, I really hope we get to see Chrome kick Julie in the nuts. XD
And Happy Birthday to neon_pocky, reflectives, rikasaurus, migi_47, and abyssed! SO MANY BIRTHDAYS THAT I HAVE MISSED. Many happy returns to all of you guys, and AARIKA SOB THIS MEANS I AM OFFICIALLY A YEAR LATE ON THAT RYOHEI DRABBLE (do you even remember that lol). SOB THIS IS WHY I NEVER DO GIFTFIC. It's basically like saying, "Happy Birthday! Here, HAVE A GIANT BOX OF DISAPPOINTMENT." XD
