Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Chapter 299 Discussion

Not sure if I would call this a Deus Ex Machina, or random, the mangaka seems to know what she wants to get out of this and in the past she has had suprises for us all. it may all seem random at first, but atleast she attemptas to explain it to us rather than throw it in *cough*Kubo*cough* and not explain it at all. We were shown blood could be added to the rings when the Shimon Famiglia did it, so not really a "random" powerup, but an unexpected one.



Talbot was a brilliant addition I thought, a character to pay close attention to I think.

You say that as if it is easy for people to stop reading something when they already invested enough time to read 300 chapters.

Although KHR is predictable, i have to admit that many other Shonen manga are as well.  Predictability doesn't seem to keep people from investing their time in other Shonen manga.  People are clearly reading the wrong type of manga if they're complaining about how predictable it is; it should be more than expected that it would be predictable.  Yes, it was predictable.  I also found it to be quite enjoyable despite feeling that.  I'm going to stick with the manga because it does have an interesting plot and i really want to see how it ends.



I totally agree! While most of us could obviously see this coming (It IS a shonen manga), it's enjoyable to the EXTREME. I quite like the idea of the rings breaking, though the whole "upgrade" scenario could have been executed better. There's a reason why shonen manga is popular... it doesn't have to be deep to be enjoyed. At least Tsuna has had some character development, it took 300 chapters for him to become decisive in the Mafia XD

Sudden appearances of old men fixes everything, I guess...

That's how things work in shonen LOL. Gintama has explained this many times already...



Somehow, predictable or not, I love this manga. Continuing from my earlier post: I guess I'm reading this 'cos I want to:D Old men are the best. Just...not always the coolest. Hoping the process of upgrading will be cool.

Btw, since OM's closing down, where would I be able to read next week's KHR? And the many chapters that follow, of course.

What if it fails ? D:

Such an awful Chapter. Deus ex machina sucks! Hitman Reborn is getting worse every chapter

Yeah. Ok. Whenever I think this manga can't get any worse it just goes there. More upgrade spams and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was another training arc in the near future. I'm so close to dropping at this point. I'm actually looking forward to reading Bleach more than this every week.

So if you join the mafia your blood becomes special. *facepalm*  All of this is insane

MTE.

COME ON VONGOLA RINGS!!!! UP - GR - A - DE!!!!

This is definitely not one of this mangaka's better chapters. A lot of people knew that the Vongola Rings would be upgraded to something more powerful. Of course there's also the training they have to endure in order to have a 50/50 chance of defeating the Shimon Family. The rings also have a 50/50 chance of being restored. Even if they are, the Vongola Family only has a 25/100 chance of winning. They also cannot have any back-up; hence when the Ninth said that anyone without a box weapon or powerful ring (such as the Vongola) will lose.



And Talbot is just creepy. No man should live up to that old - or even look that old. But I guess if he's going to help the Vongola out, he's all right. But I swear, if he's on the Shimon Family's side and is secretly planning to completely dispose of the rings, I will shoot someone... on COD of course.

i still questioning why they took chrome????? and idk about everyone else but it took me by surprise that it only took 1 person to beat vongola to a pulp with only about 1/10 of there strength -_- and i agree khr is getting worse

So if you join the mafia your blood becomes special. *facepalm*  All of this is insane but there's no way I could drop Reborn until the Arcobaleno are explained. What did Reborn tell Yamamoto? I'd love to know the answer sometime before this decade is over, please.

Either way im just tired of X Burner spams, id like to see a new skill at this point, although something like X Burner : Breakthrough wouldn't exactly be what id hope for.......

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

                        Okay my interest was returned with this, we all saw this coming, 'upgrade'. From my point of view they tried to excuse the insane beat down on the fact that yet again the Vongola rings have more hidden power, now its spirits of all things, oh and add moon rocks and you can rebuild them, make them faster, make them stronger.......ahem. Still liked how Tsuna didnt overthink it, he wants payback, thats good enogh for me. And a teardrop moment for Hibari's pride.



And Talbot, wow didnt see him coming at all, love the little message, 'been around since Primo's time'. Still its okay I guess.






I just dont get why he has Primo's blood, 'Penalty' or why there is even more blood....




From here I cant really guess whats next, id assume be patient while rings are built cause if it becomes gotta go get specific items, oh boy. And then once they get the rings, well *insert training montage*. And all this while maybe the Shimon are being dastardly, who knows.
