Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Chapter 299 Discussion

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.

Ok.

What happens to the rings, will tell the future of the manga.

If it fails, then it's saved. Cause, then there's gonna be a plot to be worked on.

If it works, then it's lost. Probably they will tray the new rings, and it's so powerful that they can't control it, then they're gonna do some training, beat Shimon, then the cerimony will end, Tsuna become the boss, and a new motherfucker enemy will appear,  and every thing will happen again, and again, and again, until Amano dies, or get tired of KHR.

Here's a (crappy) attempt to make things more exciting :|



As others may have already predicted, the vial of Primo's blood that Talbot pulled out, called "Penalty" has some ties with the vial containing Shimon's first boss' blood, called "Sin"



But I'm guessing that maybe "Penalty" was supposed to be given to the Shimon family as payback for the massacre, like maybe Primo really did mean to fight alongside the Shimon first boss, but he was too late because of some obvious misunderstanding, so he collected his blood into a vial in order to remember the events...



Or that maybe Primo just kept the vial to himself, and never gave it to Shimon but then Talbot somehow got a hold of it... and kept it to himself for unknown reasons until today. Maybe because Talbot is blind, he has an uncanny ability to see into the future since Primo's time...? And so had asked Primo for it to help Tsuna and co.?



But there's Vongola's "Sin", which was the blood of Shimon's first boss, and then there's suddenly "Penalty", which was Primo's blood. Maybe the two first gen. bosses made a pact with each other or something?



But honestly, the idea is pretty interesting. I agree that it was poorly delivered to the reader's though... I mean come on, and I quote:



*SPOILER*



9th: "W-why do you have Primo's blood!?"

Talbot: "Hm. I've forgotten details of the past." *moves on* "Now then, we have all the materials (wtf blood + moon-stone + spirit animals = vongola rings? -_-)



WHAT A NICE EXPLANATION, Talbot... Although he is pretty old... maybe he really did forget... But still, Amano could've at least explained things a little bit better to us... she better give us a flashback or something to explain Primo's veil of blood, dammit. I don't want it to be another handy-dandy item that was conveniently there. ._.



Also, a lot of characters tend to repeat each other a lot LOL



*SLIGHT SPOILER* Who am I kidding? We all predicted this anyway...



9th: "You don't mean to say, that the Vongola rings can be fixed!?"

Gokudera: "Fixed!?"

Tsuna: "They can be fixed?!"



I found this funny. xD



Oh. And who the hell is Coyote Nougat? What's up with the name? Nougat? Is this just some random person?



Well, I found this chapter better than the last one... but I felt that things were a little too rushed and yes, too convenient. Sudden appearances of old men fixes everything, I guess...

Another random powerup.. just what this manga needed.

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

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