Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Chapter 298 Discussion

Love the coloring in the spread.



Wait, why did Chrome continue to maintain the illusion of Yamamoto even after finding out the truth?



I wonder if Primo's spirit will show up again...



It's really sad that Enma is using the power to be a hypocrite. He's doing the very thing Shimon said Vongola 'wrongly feared' them for.



Urgh, Julie is disgusting. I was leaning towards grossed out when he tried to force her to go out with him. I wasn't sure if he'd leave her alone if she said no. But now I can see what kind of guy he really is.



I really hope Vongola and Shimon don't make up and be friends, at least not very soon. I can't forgive that willing blindness on either part.



That's the most thrashed I've ever seen Vongola get. x_x

----------------------------------------

                        GOD DAMN IT! I knew this would happen! I knew that Vongola would be completely dominated in this chapter. I didn't want it to happen, but fucking-a it did! God I love this manga but it can be really annoyingly predictable. Even Hibari got his ass kicked! That's just wrong. I refuse to believe that one kid, working with 1/7 of his real power, could take down all of the Vongola family PLUS every person attending the party. He has never even used that weapon before and neither had his ancestors (except their primo) but somehow he still kicked everyone's asses. All on his own. Yeah, that makes sense. I had said it in the chapter discussion of last chapter that I had hoped Vongola could kick some ass. Obviously not win, cause that would be anti-climactic, but at least put up a fight!



I would have to say that I did like the idea of the rings breaking. Not cause I wanted them to break, cause they kick ass, but cause I didn't really see that coming. Or Chrome being taken. I'm excited to see what Mukuro thinks of that as I didn't really see that coming either. But just watch; the rings being broken will give them an opportunity for Tsuna and the others to rebuild their Rings into something even more powerful and they'll use those to defeat the Shimon family. Who wants to place a bet?

WTF. that doesnt even make sense -.-



but im looking forward to that guys reaction when he finds chrome turn into a Mukuro. tehe.. {if that happens.}



Also how they will get something like the rings back... Its a huge shock <3

OH GOD TSUNA WAS TOTALLY BROKEN U~U

Eh, i think there also is gonna be a big war, or intensive training, or new ultra-powered rings, are mushy talk to work it out.



But one outcome i came up with(dunno if anyone said this yet but im to lazy to read) is that the SIN blood actually is Vongola blood and not Shimon blood so after 7 days the Vongola blood will effect the rings and destroy it? or negate their powers? Dunno just a guess.

Psh. As expected ._.



What really irks me is that they all kind of just stood there and went like "NO." and practically WAITED to get smushed into the walls. I mean seriously, when there's a guy who goes "I'll kill your whole family for revenge" you must stand there like an idiot and wonder if he's kidding or not. I was pretty surprised that Hibari didn't just go and send his tonfa flying into Adelheid's smirking face. I mean, come on now, this is Hibari we're talking about.



Adelheid's fanservice to the guys was random and just kept popping up in my face. I honestly can't take her seriously with her busted zipper even if she's supposed to be "badass" or whatever. I mean, one second I'm looking at a panel where Enma's talking and then BOOM Adelheid's boobs interrupt. Excuse you Adelheid's boobs, learn some manners. I don't appreciate it. :|



Chrome getting taken away is either something to amuse Amano or a bait to make us keep reading KHR. I just see it as her forcing Chrome to miss out on whatever training the guys are gonna do, and play damsel-in-distress before Mukuro once again saves her. Of course you had to do this Amano. Of course. HOW COME I DON'T SEE HER KICKING ASS ON HER OWN, FOR ONCE? Without Mukuro taking over her body. Good grief.



I predict that Tsuna and co. will go back to the past, get the rings from that era since the rings from the present got broken and train there or whatever under the first family's guidance. Wow. Didn't see that coming. *sarcasm*



I'm waiting for the chapter where Hibari kills Adelheid. :



Haha, I'm actually thinking that might be interesting to read, to see how it plays out (meeting all the First gen guardians. I really thought that ending the series after the Future Arc wouldn't do it any good, since it would still leave the fans wondering on what exactly the hell happened to the Mafia and the world.



And I agree on Chrome >:[. Why can't she train with everyone else and fight for real!

Now, with this in mind. Since it can be determined that without the rings the Shimon group are more powerful than the Vongola group, where the HELL were they when Byakuran was taking over?



You just witnessed them utterly defeating Tsuna, whom could beat Byakuran. Yet, they are no where in sight during the future arc. You can't begin to tell me that with them being THAT strong, they couldn't do anything when Byakuran was taking over. Hell if that's the case, the Shimon family could have defeated Byakuran by themselves.Read back a few chapters ago. It was said that the rings were only discovered recently. It was when Tsuna returned to the past. An earthquake happened which led to the discovery of the Shimon rings.



As for the power difference, you really shouldn't take it seriously. There's always an imbalance of power levels in shounen mangas like this. The next enemy should be much stronger than the previous or else it would be boring if the protagonists always win. It's the shounen formula, get used to it.

DivineDeity said:
Even then however, you can't seriously tell me that in all the parallel worlds that not a single earthquake occurred in the area where the rings were buried? Through all of the disasters and destruction Byakuran caused.



You're right, it is a Shounen, but you don't realize that the writer has contradicted himself here. I'm just hoping he fixes this somehow.I think they mentioned that the cause of the earthquake was when Tsuna returned after the future arc. Meaning that the rings won't be discovered in the other worlds because Tsuna didn't beat Byakuran and returned to the past. This is what I think though.



Almost every mangaka contradicts themselves at some point later in their stories. Nobody is a perfect author. This contradiction of the Shimon family nowhere in the future arc when they seem to be much stronger than Vongola is something that may be cleared sometime in the future chapters. And just to clear it up, the mangaka is a "she".
