Yeah, I still can't decide if something really weird is going on or if Amano is considerably slipping. I know pretty much no one else here is getting this feeling, but to me Hibari does not seem like Hibari and the plot does not feel like the plot. I feel slightly insane saying this, but there's something so peculiar about what and how things have been transpiring I just can't put my finger on it yet.
I've always liked Hibari, there really isn't too much to his personality, but there's something about that that just makes Hibari himself. For that reason, I've always disliked a smiling Hibari and that's why his sudden talkativeness has taken me off guard. I feel like something had to have happened to him or if I stir my pot of crazy theories up enough maybe he isn't actually Hibari but somebody else? heh heh heh heh
I mean I'd assume that Hibari is going to win this one, he's been kicking ass and taking names as per usual sooooo
