Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Chapter 316 Discussion

Holy crap. That was the quickest and lamest battle ever.



But Enma appearing . . Oh boy, can't wait to see that!

What a weird chapter. As much as I love to see Gokudera finally won a battle, their battle was lame (A catnip?!).  And now Enma suddenly appears?!?



I agree. This chapter is indeed rushed.

It wasn''t a bad fight,lol.

I mean,look at P.'s rules: popping ballons.You can say it's lame,but it said something about her personality.Besides,i found it original.And the key here was "speed".Gokudera managed to win like this because he confused her and made her think about here resolution.And it had a time limit,even if,of course,the 5 minutes should have been up.I smiled when I read this chapter.

Ow,and i don't find Gokudera to be lame at all,even though he lost many fights.He's awesome!And for a perfectionist,this kind of fighting record is enough to break one's self-esteem.I think it gives him some depth :P (And everytime he fought,he was always "almost there".It wasn't an overhelming defeat)

And about people complaining about the length of the fight...Think about Hibari and Mosca.Here as well, P.wasn't supposed to be weak,and he pwned her =w= way to go,Hayato.

i dunno why but i think yamamoto will be appearing next chapter with byakuran its just a feeling

I don't like Gokudera's VG :/ I miss the Sistema C.A.I. and that really cool bow. Way to ruin my favourite character :'(  hope things get better later on.

Hahaha I love everyone ragging on Gokudera, but really, it's hilarious that one of the only battle he's won, was in an incredibly short, lame, and underwhelming fashion.



And the choice to bring Enma out of nowhere seemed kind of desperate at first, but maybe there's a bigger, deeper underlying conflict beneath the Shimone vs. Vongola deal. That might help explain why in god's name Byakuran is still livin' it up, plus it would totally make the story not be a total suckfest like it seems right now.



I love Reborn!, don't get me wrong, but I think we all can agree that things are kind of strangely not as awesome as they usually should be. Because I have faith in Amano as a writer, I suspect this whole fight between guardians thing to only be the central conflict on the surface. I refuse to believe that something so awesome could fall so flat in such a short amount of time.



Thus, my reasoning is, we've got a whole bunch of loose ends lying around, fights are going hella quick, and the supposed "main conflict" is eerily coming to what seems like an end. COME ON, GUYS. I don't think this is a case of bad writing, rather, a case of super awesome writing in the works./theory end



I sincerely hope this is the case and if it isn't I'll still read it anyways since I'm too attached to the characters to drop it Dx



Same here .__.

Felt that after a long time of stretching, they're rushing. Are they in danger of getting cancelled or something?No. Reborn's ratings are more or less around the middle or below the middle. Sometimes it works itself on the top 5 but it's not going in the bottom 5, which usually spells cancellation if a manga stays there for a long time. So I have no idea why the author is rushing the fights.



That said, boss fight already? But this means postponing the other guardian fights. Yamamoto was suppose to fight next if this is following the same order as the Varia fight.

Speaking of fights, this fight's conclusion was lame. The third memory wasn't very informative either. Meh, I don't really care.

Enma, you stupid -.- ! I really liked him but now... And I hate Julie -.-'
