Week after week it's just been one strong chapter after another, and now the first part of it has wrapped up perfectly. I'm a die-hard fan of the Varia Arc and still believe that was pretty much flawless (at least as far as tournament arcs go), but even so, I think the Inheritance Arc is starting to overtake it as my new favorite.

Well, it would explain why he failed so completely at seeing this coming, at least. XD And a lot of Reborn's past is still pretty mysterious, so it could work.

Enma's shiny dragon gauntlet is definitely a touch of Byakuran's style, there. I think when he died, a tiny bit of his soul went to reside in all of the future villains (it would go a long way toward explaining Shitt P, too). HIS LEGACY LIVES ON.

Hail would fit the sky/weather theme...!

I seriously think that might be the only real plot hole in this arc so far aside from Enma's total lack of cell phone awareness. Up until this point, I would have sworn the Vongola kept some kind of mafia pokedex, what with them being so up-to-date on everything happening in the mafia world ever. But all of a sudden this family comes along with a history that goes so far back it even predates Primo, and they know nothing about them? WHAT IS THIS. Get your shit together, Vongola.

I think the Varia Arc might always be my favourite or maybe that's just because I've been writing about Xanxus, but the Inheritance Arc is definitely gaining a special place in my heart.

(By the way, I'm still confused as to what actually happened with Byakuran. Did killing him in the future disappear him from everywhere ever? Or is young!Byakuran still hanging around somewhere?)

Oooh, what if the Shimon family aren't mafia? What if they're actually . . . (dun dun duuuun) yakuza.

No, really! I don't know if that actually works or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if Vongola only really knew about the Italian mafia and people connected to them. So if the Shimon family were an old, old family from Japan, maybe the only mafia who encountered them were the first-gen Vongola.

(Although this does not explain why Iemitsu had stuff about them in his attic.)
