You can tell I wrote a lot because it's past 1 am!
I have all these random Reborn thoughts I want to post and they're totally not organized because this has not been a particularly organized week. BUT I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT.
ITEM THE FIRST: A holdover thought from last week's chapter (that would be the one with the TIME MACHINE!1).
"It has something to do with the relationship between time and space. They call it time travel."
"I have a feeling that Irie isn't the main cause of all this. And if this clue is correct, this device that's used to travel to the past has a deeper connection,"
I'm not going to talk about this much because thinking about it gives me a headache and any theories I might have are far from the point of being coherent enough to type. But what I did want to say is that this immediately made me think of this:
"Everything about the development of the boxes involved coincidences happening at a most unusual frequency."
Strange coincidences? Time travel? CAN THESE TWO THINGS REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER? Just how deep does this rabbit hole go, Mr. Anderson? Anyway, food for thought.
ITEM THE SECOND: Chapter 203. Everyone's seen the spoilers posted at the comm by this point, but I'm not sure if Kirimi's translations were also posted or not, so here's the link to the Mangahelpers post just in case. Anyway, my thoughts in brief:
1. >>Hibari says he knows a lot about illusions, because he hates them.<<
This is just hilarious to me. EGADS THIS MAN KNOWS HOW TO HOLD A GRUDGE.
2. Someone in the comm said something along the lines of "I hope he loses for once," since apparently it's getting old? At any rate, I have to disagree. Kicking ass is like... Hibari's thing. It's what makes him Hibari. And it's so entertaining. I'm just more than content to sit back and let him take care of business, I dunno. XD
3. >>Hibari has 2 C rings left and 1 D ring left. He decides to use "that".<<
My immediate first thought: VONGOLA CLOUD RING.
I KNOW IT'S A LONG SHOT (haha, what's my prediction record these days? By this point it must be in shambles), but we know at some point the cloud ring has to show up somehow, because GATHER THE VONGOLA GUARDIANS RINGS has been a prime objective since like the start of this arc. And if they really have been destroyed, then we're still TWO SHORT, and we can hardly have ourselves a spiffy climax involving the tre-ni-sette if those two rings are still MIA. So either Hibari has to be swapped with Good Ol' Days Hibari at some point (which I'm still kind of rooting for because THE LULZ WOULD BE EPIC), or it'll turn out that when Yamamoto mentioned that some of the guardians had been opposed to Tsuna destroying the rings, HE WASN'T KIDDING. At any rate, I hope whatever he has up his sleeve is cool. XD
And last but not least, ITEM THE THIRD: Yamamoto! Because I was just thinking about how he really does seem down for the count, which means that he effectively KOed himself by running into that wall (WHICH WILL NEVER STOP BEING FUNNY), and that is not only epic, that is JUST PLAIN SPECIAL.
And then I started thinking about Yama's other fights.
Yamamoto vs. Ken
FEATURES: Yamamoto FALLING INTO A PIT. "Doping."
ENDS WITH: SWORD IN THE FACE.
Yamamoto vs. Squalo
FEAUTURES: SQUALO. Swordy fun times. Did I mention Squalo. Stuff for the anime to censor! Genereral epic win (did I mention this is one of my favorite fights of all time?).
ENDS WITH: A FUCKING SHARK.
Yamamoto vs. Mammon and Bel
FEATURES: A BILLION FLOATING BABIES.
ENDS WITH: TENTACLE RAPE.
Yamamoto vs. Genkishi
FEATURES: Sweet, sweet jailbait. More Squalo. And just in case he isn't gay enough, Lussuria.
ENDS WITH: RUNNING INTO A WALL.
In conclusion, this is why I like Yamamoto's fights.
