REBORN! Manga convo thread v02: Show me your resolution.

Latest chapter was awesome. All of the babies are back and the 7^3 is coming together... Why can't it be next week already?

[Shiki_105]

Don't we all wish that was the case? I'm so curious as to why Reborn sounded so confident about Tsuna I can't wait, man. And y'all're sayin there're rumours about KHR becoming monthly? Why don't Shueisha lot just cancel Weekly Jump altogether and transfer all the series to SQ?

[Nico Rune]

Reborn is always confident about Tsuna.

[Shiki_105]

With reason. Tsuna must have a killer move that will defeat the enemy in a second stored away somewhere, but such a move would be pretty anticlimactic so damn curious as to what it is though. Please, Mr. Time, fast forward to next Friday!!

[Nico Rune]

*tries to bribe Father Time, but fails* Feh.

Who knows? Maybe Nuts can do something.

[Shiki_105]

Let's kidnap Mr. Time then, muahahahahaha!

Or maybe Basil and Tsuna's Guardians manage the break the barriers and all their box weapons join together to form one helluva powerful beast and take Byakuran down with ease I don't see Hibari and Mukuro participating if this was to be true, though. And anyway, that barrier seems purdy solid. But we haven't seen Basil's box weapon's convenient ability being utilised effectively yet so maybe he'll still play a part

I have a random question, Squalo and Dino are the same age right? Both of them are 22 years old, I guess.
If so then Squalo was like 14 years old when they attempted that coup d’état?! What about Xanxus? It seems so impossible for such young boys to do such thing, and succeed to get rid of all those guards too... besides they didn't look that young at all either

[Zuu]

Trying to figure this out hurt my brain that I gave up trying to analyze it and just accepted it. What concerns me if how old Bel was and how old he looked in the manga, he definitely did not look 8 or 9.

Xanxus was either 16 at the time, or 24 if the Zero-point Breakthrough stopped his body from aging.

I honestly think Amano just screwed up the timeline. It makes more sense if the Coup d’état happened 6 years ago instead of 8, even though that would make Squalo 16, Bel 10 and Xanxus 18 respectively. It just makes more sense in my opinion.

Also Japan and probably the majority of Japanese have a thing for youths, have you ever wondered why most main characters for popular mangas are preteens or teenagers.

[gheyface]

I dunno. Tsuna and Co. have done a pretty good job at kicking ass so far and they're all still in middle school.

I remember reading, a long time ago, a post someone made on hitman_reborn about that panel showing Xanxus, Squalo and Bel during the time of the Cradle Affair. Apparently, in the original Shounen Jump release of that chapter, Bel didn't appear in that panel, but in the tankobon art Amano had added him into it.

On one hand, damn Bel is pretty young to be involved in that.

On the other had, he did kill his twin when he was just a wee little sociopath.

GO, TSUNA!

I like the first Cloud Guardian's comment.

[Mari]

...Bel is a lovely psychopath after all.
I just saw the latest manga chapter; I couldn't help sqeee-ing at the sight of Giotto and the first Cloud Guardian. Damn, Tsuna's going to kick some serious ass soon.

And lol, the first Cloud Guardian totally said something Hibari would have said.

[Nico Rune]

And the first Mist Guardian is also a pineapple head~

Go, Tsuna! Kick Byakuran's butt!

[maloos]

I hope Tsuna and all guardians cooperate and defeat him, not just Tsuna

[Mari]

Haha! They all look like replicas of the first gen guardians. xD First Gen Storm looked like a complete gangster to me, but darn, he looks good too.
Well, I'm guessing that the other guardians will be the source of Tsuna's power, so even if Tsuna is the one who delivers the blows to Byakuran, the power belongs to the individual Guardians.

[maloos]

Dragon Ball style
But most likely it will be like this, others even can't enter that 7^3 zone! Still I hope to see some action from Guardians too.

[Mari]

Hahaha, I know! I wanna see Ryohei and Hibari fight more. T-T

[Nico Rune]

Didn't you hear Tsuna when he said his Guardian's powers are his own? Tsuna can't win without them.

First Gen. Storm Guardian looked so cool!

[Shiki_105]

Just a random question: does Alaude mean skylark? I read an article about the Japanese skylark and, apparently, it's called the Alaude Japonica or something...? could be wrong.

Speaking of Alaude, how old is he? I'm sure the people who've been keeping tabs on the latest release chapter discussions are getting really pissed off with me asking this question but how old are those damned first Guardians? they look itty bitty. Amano trying to tell us that little brats can head secret law enforcement units (or whatever it was) and become priests? If they're appearing younger, then why are they appearing younger? Maybe they're appearing at the ages of their Decimo counterparts? I wanna know!!

[Zuu]

Alaude is deceased, so he probably doesn't have an age maybe 200-and-something

Though physically, they look around mid-to-late 20s. The reasons why they are appear younger, I have no idea, most likely eye candy,since if Amano showed the first guardians as old men, we as viewers would probably ignore them.

It bugs me the first and tenth generations look very similar, seriously, it's like lazy character designing or something

The new rings look so cool~

Go, Tsuna!
