Katekyo Hitman REBORN! Discussion

[Impel Down]

I'm only on Volume 5 (is 6 out yet? I thought it was but I can't find it) and honestly I find Amano's art kinda...plain (and the fact the first few volumes pretty much kill every running joke multiple times).

Besides that, it has a charm to it I can't really pinpoint. I think it's the normal-absurb mixture of life. I've always been partial to that.

I think for me it was just the excitement of having an actual arc when Mukuro's gang came in.

And with the normal-absurb thing, one of the things I like as well is that there aren't any "crazy powers" with anyone, it's just physical talent or using certain Mafia tools, which is pretty cool.

[Megadoomer]

I just finished reading Mukuro's arc. It seemed short (I read through it in about a day), but it was good. I can't wait to see what happens next!

[Impel Down]

Next the villains from Kingdom Hearts come from Italy to fight.

["Fire Fist" Ace]

Even Worse, the Arcoluna show up and fight the Arcobaleno in the present.

Here with anime news:

First, the new ending is out on moon tube. (you need to register to view) It's really cute and winter themed! I'll upload a youtube link when I find one.

The sky battle will end on 1/12, then, starting 1/19, fillers.

It'll be the test of courage they missed during the summer. (it's around October in the anime so...)

Pix, plz?.............................................. .... .....................

They're like gumdrops, really. And he swallows them in one gulp...>_>

Woah! How does Tsuna swallow those things whole?

Also, How does that Moontube site work?

The pills in the manga are pretty small, like regular-pill sized.

There's a tutorial for moontube some pages back, too.


The ending is just full of Reborn!-style fanservice. Hibari wearing wintery clothes. HIBIRD wearing wintery clothes. Gokudera wearing a ponytail and playing with a cat. (Also FUTA STAY AWAY FROM DINO OH MY GOD)

So the anime has to animate the whole Irie Shoichi thing now. And Longchamp too, since I predict he'll pop up again in the future. YAMAGUCHI KAPPEI FOR LONGCHAMP y/n?

reborn characters are so stylish.

take that Kubo and your cell phones.

[Impel Down]

Mafia don't need cell phones. You'll see certain men dead in the newspaper, take the first letter of their last names and that's your message.

Yamaguchi's certainly annoying enough to pull it off...

I kinda like the new ending, too. I like most things that involve snow though...

[RoastBeef]

Just poking at Carter, since he has incredibly rage toward the both of them. Although it seems like he doesn't read the thread anymore oh well.


I was kinda expecting Mukuro to be in the ending...in his dimly-lit bottle of syrup...decorated by a pathetic ratty string of tinsel...Vindice pour a thimbleful of rum into his feeding pipe as a gift...though Chrome+Ken+Kakipii in winter clothes would've been really cute.

I just kind of suddenly lost interest in the series

FUTURE ARC isn't really doing it for me

Same here.

I think that it's the fact that it's not building up to anything like in the last one.

[Rokudou Fukurou]

To all those complaining about Shamal hitting on a very illegal Bianchi... I totally freaking agree, except we've forgotten another contender:

Reborn. If we believe the Arcobaleno were adults before babified, then Reborn's just another pedo. I believe he calls Bianchi his "fourth lover" in the Vongola 77 book or whatnot, and then there's the marriage. Oh, creepy beyond creeps. Also yeah, Dino is just another pedo waiting to happen, much as I like him.


Eh, I enjoy the Millefiore arc. Irie is just plain adorable and seeing the future versions of practically everyone was pretty much worth it. Byakuran looks like he won't go down without a fight but I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that he'll probably become a Vongola ally or something once they beat him and go back to the past. I don't think Amano will be able to resist the idea of non-enemy Byakuran interacting with the Vongola group or emitting slashy vibes with at least one or two guardians. Unless Byakuran/Chrome becomes the new Dino/Hibari....

Are you trying to say that before they become Arcobalenos, high-powered Mafia members go around molesting other Arcobalenos?

[rusashi]

I blame lack of Millefiore interest on there not being a "group" of villains. We've seen them all, but we have no idea who the Ring Holders are. With the Varia we all had the "WHO'S GONNA FIGHT WHO" feeling. Now it's just "Who are they gonna fight...?"

Have they even shown who has the Mare Rings yet? Glo Xina, Gamma and Byakuran? But who else, that's what I want to know.

[Impel Down]

Well, it's all the A-Rank captains, and Irie did, actually, show his in the chapter where he was like, "All right, I'm in charge now, but I still need this guy with a sword to protect me from guys who'd lose to Ryohei from ten years ago."

And with Glo, they didn't even really say what kind of ring he had, although it's obvious it's a Rain Ring, so they are kinda fuckin' it up a little. Although, with the break-in mini-arc they're doing now, it seems like real opponents are confirmed, with Irie, the afro girl, the turban guy, the huge sword guy, and (maybe) the lance guy.

Does anyone know why Lal Mirch's pacifier was all swirley...? ch 138 pg 19 for reference >_>;;

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. What I meant to say is that if Reborn was an adult before he fell under the Arcobaleno curse, then his relationship with Bianchi (presuming he had a relationship with her before the curse, and errr... not during it) also reeks of pedophilia.

Dino has pretty much nothing to do with that, merely that he's 22 and hangs out a little far too much with 13 - 15 year olds.
