! Isn't that one of the jobs (well not the right word) of the ring of storm?

There was a purpose Amano used that expression and that line for Gokudera.
You need to brush up on your shonen cliche's.
-
Gokudera's just tsundere.
-
lol ED 5 sounds like some Visual Kei Band singing :p
-
Anyways, the Mist battle in the anime was done very well. The best battle yet, and probably will be the best one. It's as if the anime staff loves Mukuro. And hates Gokudera orz.

@Cap'n:
I always thought it was weird how everyone thought caps-locking "Xanxus" was the proper way to spell his name
I finished the Vongola Rings arc earlier,
! and I was pretty pleased with everything. I thought the Xanxus fight was stretched out a little too long, though. And the super ultimate attack kind of bugged me, since I don't see how it can be that useful if you're up against a non-flame user (I'm going to assume that not every mobster on the planet uses a wacky dying will flame). As for the guns… I liked the concept, but it feels like it'dve been cooler to have seen the 7th in his prime using them than Xanxus. Oh, and Xanxus's backstory wasn't really surprising at all.
! Another thing that bugged me was how the ring rejecting Xanxus at the end when his lame minions interfered kind of made it feel like the whole ring ordeal was a massive waste of time since it would've rejected him even if he won.
! I guess I'm about to start on the Future Arc, but I think I can hold off on that for a while since I pretty much blitzed through the series in the past 2 days. Plus I'm not as excited about it as I was with the Vongola Rings.I do it because of how I read it in my head.
Dunno why, but it seems funny to me.
I'm about to join a forum with the name XANXUS and refer to myself in the 3rd person caps locked and shit.
and dibs on that as my future Alt's name.
-
Yeah, same here. I just found everyone constantly going XANXUS!! in the raws really funny and started doing it myself.
-
The thought of the future arc in the anime makes me giggle.
-
Why?
…..............
-
BUT WHY IS HE RIDING A ROLLER COASTER hahahahahaha i can't stop laughing
I like how Hibari's part in the new opening is 15 seconds of being a creepy stalker, but Yamamoto gets 2 seconds of him doing the same thing as the last opening.
As for the future arc in the anime: they're probably going to take out one of the only moments that makes Gokudera seem a little straight.
-
@Natty:
Why?
…..............
Because of how the ten-year bazooka works in the anime. The future arc's premise in the manga is that everybody gets randomly shot with it, and since you have to crawl into the bazooka itself in the anime, I can only imagine it looking like the picture I posted.
-
wrestles with Lambo for Bazooka
Oh shit, I pulled it on my head.
~
Gokudera, what the fuck are you doing here?
That goddamn cow threw the bazooka out the window and it fell on top of my head.
As for the future arc in the anime: they're probably going to take out one of the only moments that makes Gokudera seem a little straight.
Nah, it's been handled before.
They NEED to put that in to put those Yaoi fangirls in their place.
-
just got english vol.5 XD. nobody cares right?
-
Nah, it's been handled before.
They NEED to put that in to put those Yaoi fangirls in their place.Well, in the future arc, the scene that made Gokudera straight was when he was looking at Lal Mirch, naked. But they can't show that on Saturday morning cartoons. The episode when Kyoko and Haru almost died because of I-pin's gyoza was altered probably because they don't want nekkid girls running around, so naked Lal Mirch is probably a no-go.
-
Yes, I know.
they don't have to show a full body shot though. Just a head shot implying that she's naked(Since most people are when they bathe.)
Like it is handled in most other shounen animes that aren't naruto, bleach and one piece.
-
But, how many shonen animes air on Saturday Mornings? (i honestly don't know)
IMO, I don't think the anime will do the future arc. There are too many complications like introducing Irie Shouichi, the way the Ten-year bazooka works, Lal Mirch's scar thing (it was changed to a tattoo in the anime), etc.
-
The episode when Kyoko and Haru almost died because of I-pin's gyoza was altered probably because they don't want nekkid girls running around
In the manga they were in there underwear not naked

Ever notice how HEATXZ seldom adds anything to a discussion

If anything, the anime makes Reborn! a little bit gayer (see: Gokudera's wardrobe, the new ending, etc.). orz
Selected points of interest from the character guidebook:
-Basil is the #1 weeaboo in the series (favorite words: SAMURAI and BUSHIDO, favorite food: natto, favorite music: enka, most treasured possession: a fundoshi that Iemitsu gave him)
-Birds and the twins are from America. w-what are you trying to say amano
-Hibari's blood type and age are listed as "?".
-Mukuro's favorite phrase is "absolute perfection (pineapple)". I-I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.
-One of Xanxus's hobbies is baiting Squalo. (?!)
-Romario is from Brazil.
-Gokudera and Ryohei are the same height (168 cm). Somehow, that's incredibly hard to believe.
-Ken's favorite food is gum (a middle-schooler who still swallows gum…), and his favorite animals are birds ('cuz they're yummy >:3).
-Bianchi hates squirrels and momonga (Japanese flying squirrel; Fuu from Samurai Champloo had one). Gokudera, Futa, I-pin, and Lambo are all afraid of her.Random character rankings:

I don't see why Hibari has to be some mystery.
Unless he's really some god/robot/uchiha in disguise as a middle schooler which would be INSANELY gay.
Birds and Bandit Keith.
The Ameican Dream
-
Adding more from the character book:
-Squalo and Dino are 22 years old, Xanxus is 24, Levi is 23, Bel is 16, and Lussuria (canon spelling Lissuria) is 25.
-Mukuro is 15 (D:), Ken and Chikusa are 14, and Chrome is 13 (DDDDDDDDDD:)
-Irie Shouichi in the past is 14, same age as Tsuna. Oh, and Basil's 14 too. -
I don't see why Hibari has to be some mystery.
Unless he's really some god/robot/uchiha in disguise as a middle schooler which would be INSANELY gay.
I have my suspicions that he's actually Namimori Middle School's guardian spirit…
But he probably just refused to graduate.
-
Man, somebody needs to translate that whole thing. Ocean?
Anybody read the new chapter? Looks like Chrome may learn how to not rely on Mukuro so much. (and I'm increasingly liking Mukuro as a character. At first I thought he was fairly generic psycho-villain, but now he's got more depth)
-
The books pretty long and I remember saying ocean isn't caught up to Reborn. (it has a special chapter, the pilot, and a novel too.)
The new chapter is making me really creeped out by Glo. But, yay 6996.
-
Oh, missed the post Bumpo.
The reasons I disliked Tsuna's fight was.
1. XANXUS turned out to be a semi lame villain
2. Was looking forward to fire fist tsuna going hand to hand against varia boss, but the fight ended up being alot of talking, and trying to get a move down, and flash backs, and really long.
3. XANXUS gun's were really lame imo. Like Carter said, I'd rather just save it for the 8th.
4. (Not really a big one) when could they stand on vertical walls?
-
I'm not really surprised at Mukuro being that young actually. Chrome's age is kinda odd but she's still pretty hot.
A few responses:
- HIBARI being some super mystery I actually like, because it's more of an ongoin joke than anything. I just wish he had more "serious fights."
- this:
"Bianchi hates squirrels and momonga (Japanese flying squirrel; Fuu from Samurai Champloo had one). Gokudera, Futa, I-pin, and Lambo are all afraid of her."
I found humor in because of the squirrel outfit Bianchi used to wear a lot. And it feels like the latter part didn't need to be said.
Sounds like a pretty neat book, and I'll probably pick it up and a few Reborn! tankos (though I can't read them…) at Katsucon next year.
-
How old is Tsuna, 15 or 14(that goes for all his classmates as well)
-
15 at the end of daily life I believe. (which I think happens over the course of 1 and 1/2 years)
-
Man, somebody needs to translate that whole thing. Ocean?
No way. I didn't even translate One Piece / Death Note / Bleach data books. I planned them all with my J/E fluent friends at one point. DDD: That said, I need to go buy it. I keep forgetting it + I don't know if my Kino will import it without me special-ordering it.
Man, all you guys' talk make me want to read ahead, but I'm only where KEFI is at -__- You guys are traitors T_T After v13 is all done (which I only have Readers' Ajito left), I'll probably read ahead… :S Someone needs to upload all the raws for me past v16.
-
How old is Tsuna, 15 or 14(that goes for all his classmates as well)
Tsuna is 14, Kyoko is 13, Hana is 14, Gokudera is 14, Yamamoto is 14, Haru is 14, Ryohei is 15, Hibari is a mystery, and Naito Longchamp is 14.
Other ages: Bianchi is 17 (what's she doing not going to school?), Shamal is 35, Nana is 34, Iemitsu is 38, Tsuyoshi (Yamamoto's dad) is 42, Romario is 38, Moretti is 33, Oregano is 22 and Tumeric is 28.
The reason I dislike Chrome being so young is because Levi called her "Voluptous/Sexy" and then Glo from the future arc is constantly talking about raping her >_>. Mukuro's voice was SO DEEP in the recent episodes. It's like he hit puberty in jail.
-
Shamal is 35
Man, what's he doing hitting on middle-school girls? And he's practically twice as old as Bianchi…what a creeper.
oh and the 9th is 70. Badass old man.
-
Yeah, I always really liked the 9th. I always wanted to see him in action more, especially since his weapon is probably my favorite of all the past bosses (awesome scepter cane). The scene of him during the Cradle was pretty cool.
Of course the 4th is awesome as well due to FORK.
-
haha I always liked the picture of him holding a puppy. Xanxus must have so much rage toward that picture.
mafia bosses do not have their pictures taken with puppies
what is wrong with you
i'm so mad
god i hate you dad
-
Honestly I laughed when I found out Xanxus has FLAME OF WRATH
that pretty much translates to ANGRY CRYBABY FLAME
-
To be fair, he does have the mental age of an emotionally disturbed 16-year-old. Okay, most of the Varia do. Bel particularly, since he is an emotionally disturbed 16-year-old. (Joined the Varia at 8? Unpossible!)
And I also laughed when Levi mentioned that they hadn't seen him smile for 8 years. At first it makes Xanxus seem a bit badass, but then it's revealed that he's been frozen in ice for that time…then you're like, "You're a retard, Levi-san."
-
Hahahaha, I forgot about that Levi line. That's pretty funny.
"LAST TIME WE SAW HIM SMILE? WHILE HE WAS CONSCIOUS"
on another note, for a while I thought ghoti's avatar was of Haru or someone else dues to the wierd expression and girly face, but I saw in one of the omakes (UNTRANSLATED, thx guys) that it was just goofy gay drunk Mukuro or something
-
oh hay i have some of those translated (but not right now, ehe sorry). There's also Ken's KenKen Paa~ and Lussuria's Third Street (Kokuyo and Varia versions of Haru's HaruHaru Interviews).
-
haha I really want to pick up the Hitman Reborn Character Book XP
-
I liked how I skipped over HaruHaru interviews for a while and then I got to one I actually wanted to read (Hibari) and UNTRANSLATED TRY AGAIN
-
Actually, I have Hibari's interview translated!
!
And if anyone wants some other omake:
Ken no Ken Ken Paa~!
Kokuyo Gossip:!
In the last box, it's actually supposed to say something like "…or maybe not."
Lussuria's Third Street:!
Actually, that last part is translated a little wrong. It's supposed to say "…the tiny ghost's is July 2nd and the big ghost's is unknown..."
! And then when Lussuria says "Boss's leg meets me <3" it literally says "Bosu no ashi meets watashi <3" lol. -
^DV DV DV
Rewatching the new opening. The Tsuna v. Xanxus sequences look cool but they'll probably be ass in the actual anime. Goddammit Artland.
And some of the lyrics are hilariously engrish: Feel in wind It ticks away time/Come on!! Break down Take your hands/SPECIAL FANTASTIC NUMBER/minna de chiwage Hi(star)COMMUNICATION
I still don't know what Hibari is doing…and whose idea was it to put Mukuro/Chrome/Tsuna on a roller coaster? "lol i dunno what to do for these guys, hmm, let's just make them go be riding a roller coaster. In the endless void. And Mukuro should be crossing his arms 'cause he just too cool."
lol Gokudera and Lambo's rings kiss.
-
I didn't mind that really.
Not nearly as much as YAMMAMOTO OCEAN SLASH at the end.
but yea, I just watch the intros. Saw the Lambo and Ryuuhei fights on youtube and have no desire to watch the anime. Collonello's voice is nothing like I pictures it by the way.
Is there some unwritten rule that only 3 shounen jump series can have a decent anime at a time. (Well 2 now anyways.)
-
I just finished the Gokudera vs. Belphagor fight. That dude is psycho! Hey do you guys prefer to call him Gokudera or Hayato?
-
I prefer GOkudera.
Because it can be easily turned into Gaykudera, a HILARIOUS insult.
-
No.
No it is not.
-
Yeah I had no idea what Hibari was doing in the intro
-
@Cap'n:
Yeah I had no idea what Hibari was doing in the intro
I think he was getting rid of the illusions that made everybody think Namimori High wasn't damaged at all.
Just got around to seeing the bit with Hibari and Chrome in the anime, Hibari's bird made me lol.
-
Speaking of the bird, what happened to the Kokuyo assistants?
Was that explained?
-
Speaking of the bird, what happened to the Kokuyo assistants?
Was that explained?
You mean Birds, M.M, and those other people? One of them was offed by Shamal, and I don't give a fuck about the rest of them.
-
I hope they were all executed for being excessively throwaway midbosses
