Hayate no Gotoku! Chapter 540 Discussion

I don't get it... Yukiji appeared in chapter 526 and that chapter occurred after this chapter, right? So Yukiji couldn't have actually left. I'm confused.

Hinagiku should be forgotten but well, since Yukiji's the spotlight here, this chapter is fine.

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

                        Lol, so much for the poker game match. Hinagiku destroyed her opponent..

didn't understand this chapter much (like what does he mean by "she left"), but I wonder what Hina is going to do w/ all that money...

Also, Hina would now have the money to buy Hayate's debt...



didn't he already pay off his debt w/ the money he got from winning the school trip?

I don't think it means that she literally left ^, but that she'll no longer try to watch out for Hina since she feels like she's growing up/is an adult, I guess. Something like Nagi and Maria's case.



Hmmm, maybe that's the case. The wording left me confused though. Though in all honesty, Yukiji doesn't look after Hina like Maria looks after Nagi. Yukiji just barely looks out for Hina and steps in only when absolutely necessary. If she stops doing even that then... it's kind of sad, isn't it?

That was actually quite a good chapter, I didn't expect Yukiji of all people to do this in such a heartbreaking way.

Ugh..., what the..., lately this story became depressing. After Maria announce that she want to leave, now with this Yukiji want to leave Hinagiku?



Where's this leading to?

Yukiji is walking off into the sunset and I was thinking she was about to get hit by a car.

Never liked Yukiji much, but her "big sister" moments have always left me feeling warm & fuzzy.



Still wasn't impressed by this chapter. It felt a bit forced.



While I vaguely understand the reasoning behind it,



Characters making big decisions one after the other, just because we're in the final arc, feels a bit contrived.



(Maybe the final arc would end sooner than we thought, & hence all the rushing ? )



& ROFL at when Hayate said "He wanted her to buy some things for him too" :D

True, that was on the second-to-last day... Time jumps are confusing :/

Did... Did that really just happen? Did Yukiji just become the best character? Like, officially? I always loved her, both the comedy and serious aspects, but this!



It's like the whole point of Hinagiku and Yukiji being in this manga was foreshadowing this very moment. It's like Yukiji revealed what her entire conscious goal was, the point behind every moronic thing she's ever done - teaching Hina the perfectionist that perfection is not always better than screwing up. Man, the sister diagnosed her perfectly and decided to use her messed up life to help.



Honestly, think about it - who is the one always having fun, getting excited and going crazy and being funny and laughing? The broke, messy, careless, stupid Yukiji. Who's the one worrying about something or feeling down about something every time she appears? The popular, perfectly athletic and pretty President Hinagiku.



Hina's always been insanely prideful (confessing first is losing, oh, boo-hoo, go jump from your unreasonably high popularity poll results) and Yukiji has been anything but. Sure, she has her own share of problems, but she at least manages to be happy, even in her much worse position. Hina really does need to learn some humility and I'm glad her sister has been shown aware of this - and apparently was working on it since forever.



Yukiji best character. Yes.



And no, I don't think Yukiji actually left for good. She's a teacher and doesn't have the money to quit that job anymore. She just left Hinagiku in that spot to ponder about what she said.



Man, it's just another of those chapters that end by sending unexpected emotional chills down your spine. Even more so than chapter 341.
