Why hello there, 327!
What's a sexy chapter like you doing in a bar like this?
1. Sad Primo looks sad. D: Poor Giotto, I wonder why. Is he perhaps taking Spade's betrayal personally? Oh honey, it's okay, it's not your fault your Mist Guardian is a complete dick.
Thank you, text, for reminding us once again that sky flames are harmonious and bring people together and sky is all around us and all you need is sky, sky, sky is all you need. If it's not pointed out every five chapters it will totally slip our minds forever, so.
2. "G!" AND JUST LIKE THAT, I SUDDENLY WANT A THREESOME. THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM OF THEM BOTH BEING GIOTTO'S BOYFRIENDS QUITE BEAUTIFULLY. IS THERE FIC OR FANART OR BOTH SOMEONE PLEASE LINK ME.
Hey, look at that, Alaude's gonna fight with his eyes closed! YOU'RE SO HARDCORE ALAUDE.
--Oh snap, cutting us off at a cliffhanger. That's not cool. :( On the bright side, though, this is easily the best-drawn reaction page in ages and ages. And is it just me, or is Enma awake again? This manga sure has been ignoring any and all traffic lights when it comes to pacing lately.
3. U mad, Spade? :)
4. And oh my God, Tsuna looks like he's ready to go slide down a rainbow into a marshmallow playpen filled with puppies and kittens. Good thing Reborn and Gokudera are there to stomp on his dreams by asking the obvious questions. Sorry, Tsuna, but there are still matters left to be addressed before you skip off to find Enma and sing the F.U.N. Song together.
Meanwhile, Yamamoto is making faces and musical notes that leave me suddenly questioning my previously certain stance on the "is there some potentially horrifying Byakuran-related twist looming on the horizon" issue. ... Well, Tsuna still isn't detecting creepy vibes, so for now I'll just hope that his hyper intuition is as refined as his ancestor's.
5. ADELHEIIIIID NOOOOOOOO *stretches out arm hopelessly toward page in a long, dramatic fashion*
And I share in her sentiments completely. TSUNA, AS YOU CAN SEE, ENMA HAS SPENT HIS ENTIRE LIFE UNDER THE FREAKY INFLUENCE OF A MAD MAN, AND NOW SAID LIFE IS KIND OF CRUMBLING AROUND HIM AT A RIDICULOUS RATE. PLEASE SAVE HIM BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS.
So please, little boss, hear her plea. ;_; AND WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A STRAW HAT TO TAKE OFF AND PUT ON HER HEAD, YOU SAD EXCUSE FOR A SHOUNEN HERO.
6. Okay, forget what I said earlier about Yamamoto. I had a moment of doubt brought on by my knee-jerk suspicion of people that talk with musical notes. But his reaction toward Kaoru's imprisonment has convinced me of his Yama purity once again. 100% YAMA, NO ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS.
Gotta hand it to Spade; having finally regained his cool, he is making quite the valiant effort to act as though none of that "RARGGHGH PRIMO HOW DARE YOUUUUU /CRAZY EYES" shit ever happened. But dude, we all saw it. It was only like 5 pages ago. And you know we are never going to let you live it down.
7. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
NATURAL
BORN
HITMAN
I don't know if I should be awed or terrified.
8. Hmmmmm...
I THINK
IMMA GO WITH BOTH. *________________*
Man, this kid slices, dices, and makes Julienne fries.
9. Side note: I would just like to say that Tsuna and Gokudera's reactions amuse the hell out of me. First the "OMG WHAT, A TWELFTH FORM??!" like it's so shocking for Yamamoto to have come up with yet ANOTHER Shigure Souen kata right on the spot. And now this "D: HE'S TALKING ABOUT GENKISHI!!" with those adorable wide-eyed faces. Oh, kids.
Not that I can blame them. Yamamoto, you're such a fucking badass. Perhaps your only weakness is the fact that instead of using this amazing technique to defeat your enemy, you are instead making conversation with said enemy while disclosing all of said technique's secrets. But it's not your fault that the shounen runs strong in your family.
'Nother side note: The closeups of mist and blank space while invisible Spade says things like "nufufu" are also cracking me up.
10. WHOA.
And with an ending page straight out of fucking Bleach (seriously, that one off-center panel framed with the black on either side? Is slick as all get-out), I guess this chapter is a wrap.
Till next week, friends! Until then, I'm taking this chapter back to my place for a romantic dinner and then, hopefully, some tender lovin'.
