Why is there a chapter out on freaking WEDNESDAY?
...AND WHY AM I COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS FACT. THIS IS AWESOME.
Anyway, the Mangahelpers RTS thread is here, and Kirimi's translation is here, although for some reason you have to be logged in to see the latter? Or at least I did. WHATEVER.
1. Vongola side: Wha-!?
I know this is a dumb reason to lol, but I kind of cracked up anyway. I just love that their reaction is exactly the same as everyone else's. "WHAAAAAT?" XD
2. Irie: Besides, this entire plan was part of your future counterpart's idea too, Tsunayoshi-kun!!
OH SNAP. Tsuna's idea? Now that's interesting. And it's a good thing Shou brought it up too; it'll probably save him a good deal of beatings in the future. "W-wait, don't blame me, it was your boss's idea? Remember? Your boss? WHOM YOU ADORE AND NEVER QUESTION NO MATTER WHAT?" GOOD IDEA TO PLAY THE BOSS CARD SHOU.
Also:
Irie: This plan was of utmost secrecy held between myself, your future counterpart, and the future Hibari Kyouya. Under no circumstances was the plan to be revealed to anyone else.
「10年後の雲雀君がこちらの奇襲を予想できたのもそのためなんだ」
Irie: That's also why the future Hibari-kun knew about the ambush from us.
Haha, yes! So Hibari knew too! That explains that, then. And it seems the theories about Gokudera being in the dark were correct; he knew about the time travel plan, but he didn't know that the mastermind behind it was secretly working on their side. I guess that makes sense.
Makes me wonder why Tsuna trusted Hibari but not Yamamoto and HIS RIGHT HAND MAN, though. Hopefully it won't cause much angst in the future. XD
3. Irie: If we didn't take this gambit to deal with this situation, all of you and all your friends will be annihilated!!
In fact! More people… or worse, all of humanity will be in crisis!!
Huh. Come to think, he's right. Somehow it never quite connected with me until now that if the 7^3 has the power to destroy the world, it means the whole world is in danger.
This is way bigger than anything else the kids have been involved in up till this point. It's one thing to fight when it's their lives on the line, or even the lives of their family and friends... but the fate of humanity? Kind of a lot to put on a bunch of 14-year-olds' shoulders (except for the fact that as we all know, 14-year-olds routinely carry the fate of the world in Japan).
SO NO PRESSURE, TSUNA.
4. Irie: The only way to seal Byakuran's power and defeat him is
in this era!!
-13-
「能力!?」
Vongola boys: Power!?
入江「説明すると長くなるが…
ん？」
Irie: It'll take too long to explain, but…
WAIT JUST A SECOND, NO IT WON'T. EXPLAIN. EXPLAIN!!
...damn it. :|
5. Squalo: Voooii!!
-16/17-
OH MY GOD YES YES YESSSS!!1
スク「そろそろおっぱじめるぜぇ!!」
Squalo: It's about time we get fucking started!!
VOOOIIIII IT'S THE FUCKING VARIA
HELL YEAAAAHHH
Squalo (GOD BLESS HIM) looks like he raided Gokudera's closet. I'm very confused as to the identity of the guy in the... frog hat? A NEW GUY? And ten bucks says Levi defeats the entire Millefiore force solely with the power of his epic mustache. YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE.
...so awesome omg.
