Katekyo Hitman REBORN! Discussion

[Nectar]

Good Xanxus vs Hibari until Hibari broke his own watch. Poor Fon. He could've waited for the next battle time. Sorry to see Shimon become new Big Bad fodder. I really wanted to see more fights between former Big Bigs but now its gonna be all about new threat.

[Cyclone_Baroness]

Ugh...Hibari is dumb. Well that at least ended better than I thought it would. I keep forgetting about Shimon lol. Uber underdogs.

[Mumbling2]

Yeah, didn't like Hibari breaking his watch, mostly because it sucks for Fon. But Fon's last expression seemed like he already made peace with it. I am genuinely surprised that it's Fon and Uni out this round. My prediction was Skull and Mammon.

It was kind of sweet that the Varia all tackled Xanxus because they cared about Mammon.

My completely unfounded predictions next round:

Team Skull out, defeated by the 8th arcobaleno team and Team Colonello (free for all).
Team Verde out, defeated by Team Reborn and Team Mammon (free for all)

Hibari will join Team Reborn just so he can keep fighting.
We'll see Verde's uncursed form (have no guesses about what he can do).

[Cyclone_Baroness]

I thought that once your watch was broken you were out permanetly in these fights? So that Hibari was out for good.

[Mumbling2]

I'll have to go back and see if they explicitly said that.

EDIT: You're probably right. One translation says "you're disqualified from being a representative" though considering how vague some of the rules are that could mean you're only disqualified from being that particular arcobaleno's representative. I'm just really surprised Hibari is out so soon and it's known that Reborn wants to fill up those extra spaces on his team.

[mcdreamy]

I have new respect for Hibari and Xanxus lol. A real man makes his own rules and fights when he wants xD. This chapter just reconfirms it: Xanxus and Hibari are badass mofos.

["Fire Fist" Ace]

We'll see Verde's uncursed form (have no guesses about what he can do).

In the Anime he used a move that shot lightning from his body and can hit multiple opponents, although we later found out it was just a robot doing it, although the real Verde probably has something lightning related, considering he's the Lightning Arcobaleno.

I'm hoping it's something fairly creative, kind of like how Skull's ability is focused on defense. I'll be happy if it has something to do with his intellect.

Is it really? I just thought he could take a beating since he's a stuntman.

[AppleSauce]

Well Since Verde is a Scientist and Is a Lighting type than his most likely going to have something to do with electricity and inventions, or both of them combined. that pretty much is obvious. Will he have Physical Fighting Capability is the real question. I think he will Control others somehow with his inventions or just make Crazy ass Weapons..

He was most known for cheating death/being nearly invulnerable, which is why he was chosen as an arcobaleno in the first place. He might have some secondary offensive skills, like that bulk up move we haven't seen in forever, but it wouldn't be the main reason he's part of the group.

Reborn and Colonello have abilities related to their professions too; they just happen to be related to fighting ability.

Where's the KHR chapter this week?

[Nectar]

Always thought Verde would pilot a mech or something in his original form. Guess Reborn is on break this week.

[Megadoomer]

I don't think so - Manga Stream has a summary for this week's chapter, with pictures. I guess scanlations are just later than usual.

Speaking of which, I'm not a huge fan of what's in that summary, for similar reasons to last week.

[project1980]

Pics are out just taking a long time to finish. Chapter is worth it just for the fact that

Spoiler:

Bermuda smacks the shit out of Skull.

Finally have a chapter somewhere.

[zxcv11791]

Great chapter, but did Skull just get killed? The blow seemed to go out from either side of his head and he was bleeding pretty badly.

[Nectar]

Daaaaamn. Skull got cracked. No idea how he can survive that.
Looking forword to Bermuda's present please.

[Mumbling2]

I really hope Skull maintains his durability in his baby form because I've come to like him in this arc. I'm betting he's not dead. It's hard to even tell what kind of attack Skull got hit with and anything can be fudged with Shonen logic.

But wow, what a poor showing by Team Skull. Their only purpose this arc was to get a full set of representative watches stolen from them. And with Byakuran getting hammered... Kind of funny that the most recent Big Bads are taking the worst beating.

[Big_Bad_Lith]

"That's not like Hibari-san at all... except it really is just like him!!"

On one hand, I want to punch Tsuna in the face for saying the most inane thing I've read all week, but on the other hand, since Reborn characters make arbitrary decisions and handicap themselves for no reason, or sometimes act in the exact opposite manner of their characterization, I guess I can't really fault him. Why the hell DID Hibari do that, anyway? And what happens when he breaks Xanxus' watch during non-battle time? Will any of this get explained?

fuck it, there's a baby in bandages named Bermuda Von Vichtenstien, that's good enough for me.
