And amidst all this chaos, I really like that Gokudera seems to be the only one who's still thinking about the big picture, even now. He's the one who thinks to ask Kikyou what the hell is up with Ghost, he's the one who reminds them that they can't abandon their mission because they still have to protect Uni, etc. That's what I like to see in our future right hand man. |D

Gokudera = ♥ (Also I think I like Kikyou a lot more than I used to. JUST HEEL FACE TURN ALREADY SO I CAN SEE YOU HANGING OUT WITH MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS OKAY.)

YAMAMOTO IS BAAAAAACK

AND HE BROUGHT A SQUALO. AND ALSO A DINO.

I was so incredibly happy to see that. I'm still grinning like an idiot. :DDDDD Although I am SADDENED at the distinct lack of Bianchi. :[ The little Xanxus/Squalo interaction bit was just so hilariously in-character, too.

And I LOVE that Mukuro got one little panel, in which we see that his hair is just as fluffy as ever. That was the entire point, seriously. XD

Yelling almost-orders and keeping everybody on track even though he's hiding behind a tree like the rest of them. XD Oh Gokudera... he really is getting more and more into the leader mindset these days. (And yes, Kikyou's gone a long way toward redeeming himself in my eyes just by virtue of having the common sense--and cowardice--to kind of ally himself with the Vongola in this chapter. XD)

I'm guessing the reason Bianchi wasn't there is because she headed off toward Uni and Shou's group instead. She has to make sure her girls are okay and all. I'm a little annoyed because it means she'll be left out of the fight again, but I can't fault her reasoning within the storyline because someone has to protect Uni now that Tsuna's run off to be a hero.

And yeah, I loved that two-second Xanxus/Squalo reunion; all we needed to see. And Mukuro had his little panel so that we would know he was still there. Heh.

Kikyou earns major points just by having the sense to say "No, I'm not going to stand here and get killed by a naked glowing Ken doll." :D

Which reminds me -- it really did just look like Byakuran stuck Ghost's head in a jar and put it on his desk. XD

Man, how long has it been since we've seen Bianchi actually fight?

"Hmm, do I just hover here witlessly and get myself killed like Zakuro and Bluebell, or should I make a last-ditch effort to save my ass by teaming up with the people I was trying to kill five minutes ago?" You have to admit, it takes balls to be that shameless. XD And by the end of the chapter he was having "OMG it's Tsuna!" and "ABSORPTION VS ABSORPTION! WHAT WILL BECOME OF THIS?!" reaction panels right along with the rest of them. It was such a seamless transition; I love it.

IT DID. For a split second I actually thought it was a head. And it didn't seem out of place at all.

Far too long. If training Gokudera doesn't count (and it shouldn't, since she really didn't do anything except release her box weapon), I don't think she's fought since the Kokuyou Arc. It's a real waste. :(

When someone joins the main cast in standing around commenting on other people's fights, you know it's not the last you'll see of them. :D I do hope the TYL future doesn't just suddenly blip out of existence when Tsuna-tachi goes home.

It's a real pity. :( I hope we get to see her fight again soon.

Haha, yeah. Just like that, he's increased his odds of survival pretty substantially. And until Amano says otherwise, I'm going to consider the Shouichi Convenient Post-Arc Time-Travel Device theory canon. There's no way Amano can just dump these characters after everything that's happened.

I knooooow. I'm still a little disappointed we never got to see her tag-team with Gokudera (that's one of the things I was hoping for back during Choice. Alas).
