Synopsis:
The explosion created by the final blows by Gokudera and Zakuro could be felt all the way to the location where Tsuna and his group were hiding. Everyone seems worried about their friends safety. Kyoko tries to reassure herself that Gokudera's group were fine, by asking Tsuna, but even he seems unsure this time.Reborn adds to the grim mood by stating that, judging by the size of the explosion, neither party would walk away unscathed.
The smoke slowly clears in the battle zone to reveal a completely devasted area. The tree's had all been burnt down, the entire area was burnt to a crisp. Zakuro is slowly shown, and due to the power of their previous attacks he had lost an arm. Gokudera too, wasn't in great shape as he had collapsed due to exhaustion and injury. He uses the last of his strength to aim his bow at Zakuro, wanting to finish him off before another blow could be dealt. As he pulls the string of his bow, to his horror, he's attacked by a Rain Class Weapon.
Bluebell slowly descends, taunting Zakuro all the way. She surveys the chaos before her, and happily taunts the fallen Vongola members.
Zakuro insists that she leave, wanting to finish the battle by himself. Bluebell scoffs at him, pointing to his current state. She refuses to wait for Zakuro to heal, and launches another stinging attack at the fallen Vongola.
Elsewhere, Basil's group see explosions going on in the distance. They seem worried about their colleagues safety, but know that they have their own job to worry about. At that moment Basil detects a hostile presence. As this presence gets closer, the tension rises as they start to notice it one by one.
Back at the camp site, Tsuna's group had seen the recent explosions as well. Since the noise had now dimmed down, they realize that the battle is probably over, with one side unable to go on. Tsuna, worried about his friends, wanted to go help them, but he is immediately stopped by Reborn, who reminds Tsuna about his own responsibilities. Tsuna, reluctantly stays back.
Back at the battlefield, after Bluebell's recent assault, none of the Vongola are able to move. Bluebell happily proclaims that its time to end some lives before opening her Box of Carnage. A blue light envelops the surroundings, and out comes the transformed Bluebell.
Bluebell had merged with a Shonisaurus. She grows a tail and fins to give her a mermaid type look. Bluebell prepares to finish off the Vongola, however, Zakuro complains that he did the majority of the work, and deserves to be the one to end it. Bluebell makes a compromise, suggesting that they attack together. Zakuro agrees to this. Bluebell prepares her special attack Bomba Ammonite as Zakuro fires up his Storm Flames. They both release their attacks at the same time. Gokudera watches helplessly as the attacks draw nearer. He realizes that the end is near, and thinks back to the promise he made Tsuna before he left. He silently apologizes for not being able to keep his promise.
Suddenly a Liger roars, petrifying Bluebells attack, and a Electric Ray neutralizes Zakuro's attack. Bluebell and Zakuro stare shocked as the very ground trembles, and out from the smoke emerges some familiar faces. A deadly voice comments on the battle at hand. The Varia have arrived.
Gokudera, now supported by Bel, seems shocked at what he see's. Xanxus has a message for Tsuna. He states that as Vongola IXth's Independent Assassination Unit, they, the Varia will assist the holders of the Vongola Rings.
Gokudera, still in shock, asks Xanxus if they were here to help them. Bel, who up till now was supporting Gokudera, drops him, mocking his defeat. Uri and the Storm Mink get into a confrontation of their own, as Lussuria notes that the pets get along just as well as their masters. Lussuria inquires about Squalo. Gokudera, remembering Squalo's sacrifice, announces in a hush voice, that Squalo was defeated, and Yamamoto went to look for him.
The Varia, however merely smirk at the thought of Squalo being dead. Lussuria rejoices at the idea of being made the next strategy captain, Bel enjoying the thought of taking it easy, Xanxus merely smirks, and Leviathan, as always, copies Xanxus.
Bluebell seems confused at the arrival of the new combatants. Zakuro explains to Bluebell, who the Varia are, and prepares to, as he puts it, finish them off.
Xanxus, dares them to try as he fires up his Flame of Wrath. Gokudera tries to warn Xanxus about Byakuran's use of the parallel worlds. Xanxus however, ignores him, and fires his Flame. The battle between the Varia and the two Wreaths commence.
The explosions from the newly commenced battle could be heard right up to the camp site. As the group became worried, Gokudera contacts Tsuna. He lets Tsuna know about the Varia's arrival, and passes on Xanxus' message. He assures Tsuna not to worry as, with the Varia there to help, things just got a lot easier on them. Tsuna takes heart at this new revelation, but now looks towards the lakeside, wondering how Basil's group are.
As Basil's group keep watch, they spot Cloud Class Flames coming over the distance. They immediately realise that the person heading towards them, was none other than Kikyo.
As soon as Kikyo gets close enough, he's attacked by a barrage of Dark Slicers launched by Nosaru and Tazaru. Once the attacks hit, they attempt to finish it off with a few rounds from their Dark Scythes. They seem confident that their attacks would have done the trick. However, Cloud Flames emerge from the smoke, and out comes a completely unscathed Kikyo.
Basil and Ryohei decide to take over the fight, but Tazaru rejects the idea, pointing out their own injuries plus a kid, Lambo. Lambo proclaims that he is the strongest in the universe, further proving Tazaru's point of Lambo's childish nature. Ryohei and Basil state that they have no intention of letting Lambo fight, and that they would try to take Kikyo out before anything could happen. Lambo takes offense at this, and states that he'll be the one to take Kikyo out. Kikyo, laughs of this statement, asking the group whether they really thought that numbers would be enough to defeat him. He points out that the only reason that they hadn't brought in more people into the battle, was because they were more than enough to handle the Vongola. Kikyo takes out his Box Weapon, states that this would be all he needs to take care of them and opens it. From the box emerges an army of Velociraptors.
The group seem taken aback by, not only the Box Animal, but the number of them that emerged. One of the raptors take out Nosaru immediately. Ryohei goes on the offensive and unleashes a barrage of punches at these prehistoric animals, but to his shock, the raptor he was attacking, dodged all his punches. Kikyo, enjoying the moment, explains that the Velociraptors were known for their excellent agility, sharp minds, and their most deadly weapon, their claws. The group keep getting pushed back by these deadly animals, as Kikyo proclaims that they don't have a chance of victory.
On the other side, the Varia are matching the two Wreaths step for step. The Varia are able to counter all of the two Wreaths' techniques, while Gokudera, Lal and Gamma are getting healed.
Back at the camp site, Tsuna regrets having let Lambo take part in the battle. Reborn tells Tsuna not to worry about it, and reminds Tsuna of the conversation they had the previous night where Reborn convinced the group to have Lambo take part in the battle. As an extra assurance, Reborn told Ryohei how to unleash Lambo's hidden resolve.
At the lakeside battle, Lambo gets hit by one of the Raptors, and is about to be eaten by another. However Tazaru saves him, while cursing the group for letting a child into the battle.
Ryohei recalls his conversation with Reborn and begins to taunt Lambo. He asks Lambo if he doesn't want to see Tsuna's mama anymore. The look in Lambo's eyes change, he soon begins to cry and takes out his Ring and Vongola Box. He cries out for Tsuna's mum as he opens his Box, and out comes Gyuudon who immediately starts to undergo Cambio Forma. Kikyo and the rest of the group watch as Gyuudon transforms into the weapon of the First Generation Guardian of the Lightning Ring, Lampo's weapon, Lampo's Shield.
Kikyo shrugs off the change, admitting his curiosity about the Cambio Forma, and his dissapointment at the result. Basil seems relieved, that even if Lambo cant attack, he could atleast defend himself. Ryohei, however states that the lightning box isn't that weak. He says that although it appears as a shield at first glance, its actually hiding a powerful offensive power.
The shield suddenly glows, and Lambo still crying over Tsuna's mum, unleashes a deadly attack that pierces the surrounding Velociraptors with thin, arrow like lightning bolts, successfully defeating them.
My View:
Oh my freaking gosh! The Vongola Kyuudaime's Independent Assassin Group, Varia, has arrived! *squeal* And as usual, they showed how dirty they were, inside and out. I find it amusing that Tako--- I mean Gokudera-san was still surprised on how the Varia acts. Gotta love how they reacted when they learned that Squ-chan is missing. :))
And Mink and Uri face-off! I nearly lost it when Mink went all shishishi. I mean Mink just laughed Belphegor's laugh! In the manga, it wasn't really noticeable that Mink was laughing/taunting Uri, but in the anime, it was all over there! Gotta love Mink, especially the laugh! It was so cute and very Belphegor-like. I so love it.
Lambo's Box Weapon, Gyuudon, has finally showed his Cambio Forma, and I'm still grinning at the name of Lambo-chan's Box Weapon. (Gyuudon. *gigglesnort*) I love Lambo's resolve. He really wants to see Tsu-kun's mama again and eat her dishes. And holy freaking hell, Lampo's shield is awesomesauce. Destroyed all of Kikyo's pets. *grins like a maniac*
Anyway, Sasagawa-senpai's up next aaaannnnnnddddd the recap at the start of the anime is getting really long and kinda irritating me since it lessens the time of the fight scenes, and I really want to see a kick-ass fight scene in KHR, and when it comes to fight scenes, KHR is kind of disappointing. AND PLEASE, in Byaku-chan's and Tsu-kun's fight, I hope that it'll be a kick-ass one. :D
Quotable Quotes of the Episode:
"Anyway, do you know where Squalo is?"
(Gokudera looks down; flashbacks)
"Squalo... He was defeated."
"Huh?"
"Yamamoto's group is looking for him right now."
"Hah, he's dead?"
"Hah, he's dead?"
"Which means I'm the next Strategy Captain?"
"Shishi. I can take it easy now."
"These people definitely aren't normal."
-Gokudera, Lussuria, XANXUS, Leviathan, Belphegor
The dialogues are colored-coded according to the colors of their dying will flames, and I think you can tell apart Bel's and Gokudera's dialogue.
"They're still crazy, but Xanxus said that they're assisting us in the name of Vongola."
-Gokudera Hayato

Synopsis:
Bluebell and Kikyo both make their way to the Vongola hiding place in different directions when they see a huge flash of red Storm Flames. They both realize that Zakuro had opened his Box of Carnage, and are quite confident that the Vongola he's facing, are going to be wiped out. In the forest where Tsuna and his group are, they too see this flash of red. Worry begins to spread through the camp as they realize that a Carnage box was probably opened. Tsuna thinks back to the previous night. Gamma voluntered to be the person who met Zakuro. Gokudera and Lal insisted that they too, should be part of the offense. Gokudera stakes his pride as a Vongola Guardian. Tsuna, with a determined look in his eyes, rejects this idea.
At the battle field, the trio are overwhelmed by the Storm Flames emating from Zakuro. Gamma wonders aloud what type of animal or insect would Zakuro have merged with. A mocking voice meets this statement, as Zakuro asks them to not to put him in the same category as Torikabuto and Daisy. As Zakuro emerges from the red flames, a monstrous sight greets the Trio. Zakuro may have merged with an animal, but this animal hadn't been seen in 65 million years. The animal was a T-Rex.
To compliment this change, Zakuro had doubled in size, had sharp, fang like teeth, a tail with vicious spikes and the hardened skin of a dinosaur. Zakuro, smiles, and says that it's about time that they felt the overwhelming power of the T-Rex.
Zakuro attacks, who he calls the Millefiore traitor, Gamma first. Zakuro suddenly disappears, and reappears right in front of Gamma a few seconds later, somehow having great speed dispite his size. Gamma manages to dodge Zakuro's first few attacks and launches a vicious attack of his own using his Nero Volpi. But when the smoke clears both Colulu & Widget are knocked out, and Zakuro manages to land a hit on Gamma, rendering him unconscious.

But when the smoke clears both Colulu & Widget are knocked out, and Zakuro manages to land a hit on Gamma, rendering him unconscious.
Elsewhere, the group of Nosaru, Tazaru, Basil & Ryohei are lying in wait to ambush Kikyo. They hear an explosion and guess that the battle has already begun for Gokudera's group. Nosaru, worried about Gamma decides to go and help them. Ryohei stops him from doing so, and Lambo confidently proclaims that he can defeat them. This light atmosphere is broken by Basil, who tells the noisy group to quiten down else give away their position.
With Gamma knocked out, Zakuro has his sights set on the injured Lal. Once again he uses his speed to disappears and this time reappears right behind her. Lal, quickly uses Zamza to form a defensive shield around her, which is easily broken through by Zakuro. Lal too falls to Zakuro, leaving Gokudera to fight this monster by himself.
With Gamma knocked out, Zakuro has his sights set on the injured Lal. Once again he uses his speed to disappears and this time reappears right behind her. Lal, quickly uses Zamza to form a defensive shield around her, which is easily broken through by Zakuro. Lal too falls to Zakuro, leaving Gokudera to fight this monster by himself.
Gokudera, now forced to battle alone, uses his Flame Arrow on Zakuro. However, this seems to have no effect on Zakuro due to his dinosaur skin. Zakuro taunts Gokudera to release his Cambio Forma, Gokudera now having little choice does exactly that.
Uri sits atop Gokudera's Flame Arrow and begins the transformation. Bright Storm Flames envelop the surroundings, as Zakuro watches excitedly and Lal watches in awe, Uri transforms into G.'s Weapon, G.'s Archery.
With this new weapon, Gokudera's flames become more powerful, but still seems to have to effect on Zakuro. Gokudera thinks back to the discussion he had with the group the previous night. He remembers Tsuna not allowing him to go due to him worrying about Gokudera's recklessness. Gokudera refuses Tsuna's request much to the group's suprise. However, Gokudera assures Tsuna that he isn't the same person he was before, and that now, he wants to come back to laugh with everyone else, just like how Decimo's right hand man should be. Gokudera remembers this promise, and with renewed determination, starts his counterattack.
Gokudera pulls back on the cord of his new weapon, and the flames get even more intense. Zakuro, much to his shock starts to get pushed back. Gokudera releases the cord and launches his new attack "Tornado Flame Arrow", Zakuro starts to get pushed back even more, and due to the strength of this attack, even his dinosaur skin starts to disintegrate. Zakuro is forced to move away, Gokudera takes aim again and tries to fire, but due to the damage he had taken in the previous assult, his attack weakens and goes astray.
Zakuro immediately notices this, and now seems more confident than he was moments before. Zakuro once again uses his great speed and dissappears. He reappears right infront of Gokudera and finally lands a hit. Zakuro seems confident that, that attack finished Gokudera off. However, much to his suprise, Gokudera states that, that wont be enough to defeat him and launches a barrage of arrows that successfully pierces Zakuro's skin and pins him down. Zakuro uses his Storm Flames to break free from the arrows, now looking extremely pissed.
Gokudera aniticipates this, and hopes that Zakuro would rush him, and enable him to shoot from close range. However Zakuro seemed to know what Gokudera was planning and proclaims that he wont fall for Gokudera's trick.
Zakuro uses his intense speed to get behind Gokudera, knowing that due to Gokudera's back injury, he won't be able to turn in time. Zakuro is about to land a finishing blow, as Gokudera has trouble turning. Even Gokudera doesn't have the confidence of being able to turning in time.
Suddenly flames burst from Gokudera's weapon enabling him to turn. Uri, realising Gokudera's predicament, gave Gokudera a timely assist. Gokudera now points G's Archery at Zakuro, much to Zakuro's shock. Zakuro and Gokudera both use their finishers, in an attempt to finish each other off. A blinding light envelops the surroundings, as Gokudera fires at a laughing Zakuro to bring an end to this exciting episode.
My View:
My freaking hell, Uri's Cambio Forma is way beyond astonishing. Just one look at it and you'll get the feel that it can pwn anyone, well, anyone but Zakuro, that is. >.> But Takohedo's got an excuse. He's injured. :3
Zakuro in his T-Rex form really awed me. I guess it really fits him. :)) And the Varia is gonna appear soon~ *dances* Yep. I am that excited to see Belphegor and Xanxus. :D
And in the next episode, Gyuudon's gonna go and Cambio Forma too! :) Anyway, why did Lambo name his Vongola Box Weapon "Gyuudon"? I know he loves Gyuudon (rice covered with beef and vegetables), but still. A pretty weird name for a Box Weapon. :)) Food~
I'm depressed right now, but writing this has cheered me up a bit. KHR can really make my day brighter. :3
Quotable Quotes of the Episode:
"My goal is still to become your right hand man. It's my reason for living. However, after going through many battles with you, I've finally realized that you don't want just the strong, reckless right hand man I was trying to be. I'm no longer trying to be that kind of right hand man. I seek to be a right hand man for Vongola Decimo who survives to laugh side by side with the boss." ----Gokudera Hayato
Yup, Takohedo's that intense.

Synopsis:
Iris, accompanied by two other Millefiore members arrive at the Vendicare Prison to release the final wreath. After a moment of taking in their situation, they ask the Vendice to open the door.The doors of this deadly prison open and standing behind them are three Vendice. Iris repeats Byakuran's orders to the Vendice, who reply that the exchange had already been completed.
The three members of the Millefiore seem perplexed, arguing that it was them that were supposed to have finalized the exchange. One of the Vendice procede to use his ring to show the released prisoner. The released man was none other than Mukuro.
The three Millefiore members argue with the Vendice, saying that they had been fooled by a Vongola illusionist. The Vendice deny this possibility, stating that there are only three illusionists capable of fooling them.
Ten kilometers away from the Vendicare Prison, Flan sneezes right on cue, wondering if someone was talking behind his back. In the room with him are M.M., Ken, Chikusa and Mukuro, who is resting. Ken and M.M. show delight at the fact that Mukuro is released, Chikusa, his usual quiet self, and Flan as usual, verbally attacks his companions. Mukuro was resting, due to being in a water tank for ten years. Chikusa states that as soon as Mukuro recovers, they'd be heading to Japan, to aid the other Guardians to protect Yuni.
In the forest, the Vongola group seem to have taken quite a few injuries during the latest attack, and are recuperating before the final battle.
Nosaru and Tazaru seem to be unhappy with the amount of kids in their group. The fact that Lambo was climbing onto Tazaru's bald patch did not help to calm them down.
Tazaru seems shocked that the Millefiore were being pushed around by a bunch of kids. He wastes no time in picking a fight with Irie, calling him the captain who betrayed Merone Base. Irie, defends himself and the two start an argument, which is instantly broken up by Yuni.
Yuni apologizes to Irie for the behaviour of her family and heads to help Lal. Lal comments that Yuni looks exactly like her grandmother, Luche. Lal states that Luche had a mysterious Intuition, and asks if Yuni possesses it as well. Yuni says that she did possess it at one point, but her power has been slowly dimininshing for a while. Yuni the reveals that Byakuran was going through something similar. She goes on to say that Byakuran would require a great deal of energy to see into parallel worlds, and could only see one thing at a time.
When questioned by Tsuna about her weakening power, she states that all things are born to die. Lal comments that the Sky Arcobaleno have traditionally lived short lives. This comment brings up memories of Luche and Aria. Gamma seems worried about Yuni.
Yuni goes onto say that Byakuran, due to his current condition, will stop at nothing to capture her, and obtain the true power of the Tri-ni-set.
At the Millefiore mansion, Byakuran recieves word of what happened at Vendicare. He states that he'll talk with the Vendice again, and with a deadly face, says to get Ghost out as soon as possible.
Back at the forest, the group continue their discussion, Yuni states that this time she won't run away. This statement worries the group, Tsuna goes as far as to tell her not to give up as they've come so far. Yuni then reveals a startling bit of information.
She reveals that she's know for a long time that the final battle will take place in the forest. Yuni reveals that the next day at dawn, the final showdown between the Millefiore and Vongola will begin.
As the group continue their discussion, Yuni reveals the secrets of Byakuran's power. She says that all though he's able to share thoughts with all the parrallel worlds, there's only one reincarnation of him. In other words if Byakuran is killed in this world, the Byakuran's of the other world's will seize to exist as well.
The group are over joyed at the thought of returning to a peaceful past, till Lal bursts their bubble by reminding them that it will only be possible if they win. Reborn agrees, saying that the Wreaths haven't begun to show their true power yet, and that a tough battle lies ahead.
Tsuna begins to panic when he realizes that they have very little time, and no plan to go by. A bit later, Tsuna asks Irie to help him come up with a plan.
Irie proposes that the one's injured shouldn't take part in the battle. This draws large protest, as the majority of the group were injured, and wanted to be a part of the battle. Reborn fires his gun into the air to silence them.
Next on the agenda was sorting out the functioning box weapons. Gamma says that Basil's box weapon had the ability to communicate with other box animals due to its superior intelligence. He suggests using that ability to come up with deadly combo attacks.
Everyone who had Box Animals released them to test out this theory. As they were about to get started, Natsu hides behind Tsuna. Tsuna reveals that Natsu is a scardy cat outside battles. Uri attacks Natsu, and Tsuna too gets caught up in the cat fight.
The mood now considerably lighter, Lal hands Colonnello pacifier to Yuni who accepts it gratefully. Gamma sensing that Yuni was up to something, worries about her. Reborn appears before him and states that they needed to talk.
Dawn finally breaks, and the Wreaths make their final battle plans before the battle. Byakuran gives the the license to go crazy after they secure Yuni. Byakuran states that he'll join them after a while. The wreaths knowing their roles depart to launch a suprise attack on the Vongola.
Zakuro heads towards the base, happy that he's the fastest out of the three. Suddenly he's attacked. A Cloud Centipede restrains him, Electric Foxes attack him, and finally a strong Storm Flame hits him. The trio who attack are Lal Mirch, Gamma and Gokudera. The three seem excited at their sucess, till Zakuro laughs, states that he isn't as weak as Daisy and Torikabuto. He opens his coat to reveal his Carnage Box. Zakuro opens it, the final battle between the Millefiore and Vongola is finally underway.
My View:
And so, the final battle is about to begin. The future arc is about to end and I'm about to see Enma and his cohorts. Damn Adelheid.
Anyway, Uri's gonna Cambio Forma on the next episode and so, I'm very excited. And yes, Muku-chan's now out of Vendice/Vendicare. Let's party!
And I find Tsuna's reactions really cute. I laughed when I saw it in the manga, and it was even more priceless in the anime. And yes, especially Takohedo's reaction to Gamma's words. Really cute. He defended his precious juudaime.
Zakuro now opened his carnage box and I'm sure hell is gonna break loose. Hellz yeah! Let's start this party! :3

Torikabuto recovers from Gamma's attack, and now begins his own attack. He easily goes past both Nosaru and Tazaru and heads straight for Yuni and Gamma. Gamma sends Colulu &Widget to attack Torikabuto, but he effortlessly goes past them as well. Gamma then forms a defensive lighting barrier with his ring. Kikyo states that such a weak ring cant do anything to stop them. Gamma admits that his ring is significantly weaker that his original rings, but states that his resolve is second to none and strengthens his barrier.
Torikabuto is unfazed, and he heads for them without the slightest sign of stopping. Suddenly he receives a punch to his jaw, which sends him flying.
Tsuna arrived to help protect Yuni. Kikyo and Bluebell seemed shocked to see Tsuna there. Tsuna says that they shouldn't underestimate his speed.Torikabuto, now losing his patience, decides to release his Box of Carnage.
Bluebell and Kikyo shut their eyes, with Bluebell even going as far as holding her breath. Torikabuto opens his box. A white spherical light envelopes the surroundings. Torikabuto is released.

Bluebell and Kikyo shut their eyes, with Bluebell even going as far as holding her breath. Torikabuto opens his box. A white spherical light envelopes the surroundings. Torikabuto is released.
The group stares at what is before them with a mix of astonishment and disgust. Torikabuto had turned into a disgusting mix of a moth and human. Torikabuto states that their end is nigh and releases a deadly Illusion.
The very world around them starts moving in an unconventional way. The group on the ground even begins to float, and not even Gamma seems to know up from down. Chrome, however, makes her way forward with a determined look on her face. Kikyo explains that anyone who glances at the pattern on Torikabuto's wings immediately lose their grip on reality. Torikabuto suddenly disappears.
Tsuna tries to close his eyes to try and concentrate, to pinpoint Torikabuto's location. However, Kikyo explains that this will do them little good. He explains that the strength of the illusion is such that not even the Vongola Hyper Intuition can help him. The group panics, realizing that Yuni will be targeted.
Kikyo smiles confidently, waiting for the signal from Torikabuto to alert them after a successful capture.
Tsuna suddenly gets directions about Torikabuto's location from Chrome. Tsuna follows her instructions without hesitation and hits an invisible Torikabuto.Chrome continues giving him directions, and each time Tsuna lands a successful hit on Torikabuto. Kikyo and the Vongola watch, astounded. Chrome has released her Cambio Forma.
Tsuna manages to land a powerful hit on Torikabuto. This rattles Torikabuto enough to stop the illusion and his disappearing act. Nuts follows up by petrifying Torikabuto's wings, to successfully immobilize him. Kikyo seems worried both about Torikabuto and the Vongola's team work. Kikyo decides to help Torikabuto, but is stopped by Sun Class bullets.
Reborn arrives via Basil's Rain Dolphin to assist in the battle. He tells Torikabuto that the Vongola's strength lies not in individual performances, but in the cooperation of its Family. Ryohei arrives to assist Reborn, completely agreeing with what Reborn said.

Bluebell, now losing patience, decides to open her Box of Carnage, but is immediately stopped by Kikyo. Kikyo states that killing the Vongola would be easy, but doing so without hurting Yuni would require help. Bluebell seems against the idea, when Kikyo points at whats happening ahead.
Tsuna, having gotten Torikabuto into a corner, fires his X-Burner at him, completely destroying him. As a charred Torikabuto falls, he's caught by a retreating Kikyo and Bluebell. Bluebell inquires about Torikabuto's condition, and Kikyo states that he's finished. The group having taken quite a few injuries, decides against following them.
At an unknown Mansion, the three remaining Wreaths explain the situation to Byakuran. Zakuro is extremely pissed off that he was tricked to go all the way to Mt. Fuji. Byakuran analyzes the situation of losing two Wreaths, and asks Kikyo about the Vongola Boxes. Kikyo assures Byakuran that they are nothing to worry about, and that Daisy and Torikabuto were their weakest members. Byakuran seems assured, but decides to make one final move before the final confrontation.
He contacts Iris, who is in the Vendicare Prison, and tells her that he will be needing "him." He states that he has already made arrangements with the Vendice and to have it ready within half a day. The other three Wreaths protest, and seem extremely worried at the turn of events.
Yamamoto's group arrives at the base, which has been utterly destroyed. The entire place seems to have been burnt to a crisp. The group seperates, Bianchi stating that she has to retrieve something. Yamamoto continues onwards, and finds Squalo's sword/hand stuck to the ground.
Back at the Kawahira shop, Reborn suggests to Tsuna that they leave the place. As Tsuna wonders where to go, Yuni tells the group, with a determined look in her eyes, that they should head to the forest.

My View:
While I was watching the episode, I was still shaking with anger because I just finished reading the latest chapter. Man, how I wish I could castrate Adelheid right now. I really want to smack her smug face. And Enma, oh don't get me started on him. But meh, I would rather watch the anime right now (which the others are complaining that is so damn slow) than read the manga because I so need a non-injured, happy Takeshi right now. And yes, I'm still very much irked with that Kaoru guy. And guys, Takeshi is injured and HE'S IN THE FREAKING HOSPITAL, so please don't expect him to come and save Tsuna and the others. I'm heart broken too, about the broken rings, but you can't expect a guy who's hurt to come and avenge the others. My cousin pointed out that they still have hope other than Shi-kun and that is... *drum rolls* LAMBO damone~ Honestly cous, Lambo is still a kid.
And yeah, the anime. Maaaaa~ Muku-chan gonna escape soon! KYAAA~ <3 So Iris is in the Vendicare Prison already and they'll learn that Mukuro escaped. :3 *dances*
Poor, poor Squalo. I was completely heart-broken when Shi-kun saw his hand with the sword. It made me go, "WTF? WHERE THE FUCKING HELL IS SQUALO? WE BETTER FIND HIM, FAST!" And Bianchi-san's gonna retrieve the letters. I really hope that when she shows those to Takohedo, the octopus head would have an open-mind about it.
Torikabuto was pwned to the extreme! I was fucking happy about it, kora! And hellz yeah, Mukuro-chan in Cambio Forma.
Byaku-chan is really ill after using his powers. Poor Byaku-chan. *pats Byaku-chan's head*
And yeah, Reborn-san, tell them how the Vongola Famiglia fights! :D
And I have this weird conclusion that Gamma is Uni's father. :)) I know, I know. I so ship GammaxAria. :D

Me Time: Crappy Memory. Blog. Last Resort. Yay! :D
I have a faulty memory. Yep. I tend to forget things, no matter how much I tried to make them retain in my mind. In fact, the more I push myself to memorize things or make them stay in my mind, the more I forget them. So yeah, I need to write important things so even if I forgot them, I'll still be able to remember since I wrote it down. I am just like Sasagawa-senpai TO THE EXTREME!I have a list of the seiyuus of KHR on the Note Page of my Facebook Profile page so I'll still have a copy of them, but then, sometimes, accessing FB is such a pain in the neck, so I have decided to put the names of the seiyuus here as a blog post so I'll also have a copy in my blog. I'm so smart, aren't I? :D

Previous: Episode 191 [Open Carnage Box]
Next: Episode 193 [Daemon Spade's Devil Lens
Synopsis:
At the Nammimori Middle School, Hibari has released his Cambio Forma, which turns out to be handcuffs. Daisy seems a bit shocked since he had not heard anything about it from Byakuran, but Hibari's allies seem a bit dissapointed.
Daisy thinks he has the edge as handcuffs arn't traditional weapons, and since handcuffs can only restrain people. With this in mind he goes on the offensive and attacks Hibari.
Hibari and Daisy battle in a very high paced and intense duel, with both parties evading the others attack. Hibari finally manages to cuff Daisy, and prepares to deal a fatal blow.
However, Daisy with a smirk on his face, calls Hibari a fool, detaches the arm which Hibari cuffed, instantly regenerates that arm and punches Hibari through a wall.
Dino ponders about Daisy's ability, and realises that his ability is akin to a lizards ability to regrow its tail. Romario questions this, saying that its impossible for a human to do. Dino responds by saying that Daisy's flame is the Sun Flame which has the activation ability. But the speed of the regeneration is what makes the Wreaths so terrifying..Their ability are in a realm beyond imagining.
At Kawahira's shop Tsuna tries to contact Dino to no avail. The group reassures themselves by thinking that Hibari and Dino are too strong to be in trouble. Kawahira reminds them on who the Guardians are dealing with. This causes a very grim mood to set, which Yuni breaks by stating that they should trust in them.
Back at the school, Kusakabe wonders if they should request assistance. Dino denies this request, stating that its important not to let Tsuna and the others be found. He goes on to say that it is his and Hibari's job to defeat Daisy. Dino has the utmost faith in Hibari, and says that Hibari will never be tied down.
Just as Dino mentions this Hibari stands up and starts lecturing Daisy about destroying school property. Hibari says that he's going to have to punish Daisy for the mess he's made.
Daisy, confident in his own abilities, states that Hibari can't beat him. Hibari admits that Daisy's ability, is indeed unusual, but says that one demonstration is all he needs. Daisy still high in confidence, explains the power of a Carnage Box. Just as he was done explaining, the small bit of flesh stuck on Hibari's handcuffs, forms a semi body of Daisy, and attacks him. Hibari beats it down, but then notices that a lot of Daisy's flesh was stuck to his tonfas. Hibari is forced to throw away his tonfas, seemingly giving Daisy the upper hand.
Daisy asks Hibari to just give up, and tell him where Yuni is hiding. Hibari states that he doesn't need his tonfas to fight, and starts to multiply his handcuffs. Daisy admist that Hibari's trick is quite intresting, but goes on to say that it won't make a difference and begins his attack.
Daisy ups the tempo, attackin at incredible speeds, but Hibari is able to read his movements and counter as necessary. Hibari manages to cuff Daisy again, this time managing to trap both his hands. Daisy however, with a cocky smile, says that the result will be the same, no matter how many times Hibari cuffs him.
Hibari, suprisingly agrees. He says that would indeed be the case if he only used 10 or 20 cuffs. As he says this he activates his flame, causing the cuffs to start multiplying and restrain Daisy at an incredible speed, so fast that Daisy couldn't detach his limbs fast enough.
In a matter of seconds, Daisy's entire body is completely restrained by the cuffs. Daisy in shock, starts crying out that he had never heard of this, that Byakuran had never told him about any of this. Dino remembers what Irie said, and reliases that Byakuran had never seen the power of the Vongola Box, and therefore couldn't form a strategy against them.
Hibari victorious, decides to crush Daisy to death. Daisy screams in agony, but in unable to die. Hibari realises that the Mare Ring which Daisy had contributed to this, and so removes the Mare ring, saying that the disciplinary commitee is confiscating it.
At Kawahira's shop the gang recieve word of Hibari's victory. Shock turned to esctasy, as they all celebrated the defeat of a Funeral Wreath. As they were all celebrating, Spanner asks Tsuna what their next move would be. Tsuna says that he doesn't like to impose on Kawahira for too long, but Kawahira says that they are welcome to stay as long as they like, stating that he had a trip to go to and while he was gone, they were welcome to use the shop however they want.
As Kawahira turned to leave, Reborn points his gun at Kawahira stating that they know absolutely nothing about him. Tsuna agrees and asks Kawahira who he really was. Kawahira says that he's the son of the owner who died three years ago. Right before he leaves he states that they owe him one now. Reborn seems annoyed that Kawahira managed to slither away.
Elsewhere, Kikyo & Bluebell enter a forest guraded by Torikabuto. They all watch with baited breath at what's happening before them.
Byakuran seems to be in a sort of bright cocoon. Kikyo and Bluebell state that Byakuran is meditating, in order to contact the parallel worlds. They say that its a very difficult task, and hopes that he doesn't overwork himself. The cocoon bursts and out comes an exhausted Byakuran. With a glint in his eye, he states that he has found them. They are apparently in at a Realtor named Kawahira's place.
At Kawahira's shop, Yamamoto decides to go back to the base to check on Squalo. Bianchi, Spanner & Giannini decide to accompany him. Giannini states that the base was his sweat and blood, and he needs to go back to check on it, Spanner wants to check for parts to build a Mosca and Bianchi says that she forgot something important back there. The three set off, and as Tsuna watched, he felt an strange sensation, just before he closed the door.
Lambo wakes up, and becomes his annoying self, stating that he wants to play. Haru offers to play with him, but Lambo instead goes to a very pale looking Yuni.

Lambo wakes up, and becomes his annoying self, stating that he wants to play. Haru offers to play with him, but Lambo instead goes to a very pale looking Yuni.
The group seems worried about Yuni's condition. Kyoko points out that it isn't only Yuni, and that Chrome too, wasn't looking very well. Yuni, in a very shaky voice, says that something is near. Gokudera immediately assumes that the enemy is close, and orders everyone to barricade the door. Yuni, still in a shaky voice says that its much closer than that. Chrome then notices something wrong with Lambo, and points this out to Tsuna. A Mist flame was flowing through Lambo's body. Lambo talks in a strange way, saying that he hates it when people escape when he attacks, and so he snuck inside.
Torikabuto emerges and grabs Yuni. The real Lambo was tied and gagged under the sofa. The group realise their mistake, and guesses that Torikabuto snuck in when Yamamoto's group left. Suddenly they hear Yuni scream.
Torikabuto flies through the building and goes barges right through the door (even though it was guarded by Ryohei, Basil and Gokudera).
The group chase them outside, where Bluebell and Kikyo arrive to assist Torikabuto. Kikyo congratulates Torikabuto on a job well done, and asks him to take Yuni back to Byakuran, while they hold off the Vongola. Yuni desparetly calls out to Reborn and Tsuna.
Just as they were about to assist, Bluebell opens her Box Weapon and attacks the Vongola. Gokudera, realising the threat releases his Sistema C.A.I. sheilds as defense. Kikyo joins in to attack the Vongola, shooting his Bellflowers to try to break the sheild. The Vongola are on the backfoot, with no way of going forward to save Yuni. They desparetly look for an opening to try to exploit, but none comes. Torikabuto starts to leave with a pleading Yuni.
Suddenly Torikabuto is attacked much to the Wreaths shock. Yuni is released and falls towards the ground, only to be saved by two lightning class foxes.
Yuni recognises the two as Colulu & Widget. Someone carries Yuni, and asks her about her status. Gamma has arrived.
My View:
Oh hellz yeah! Roll in Cambio Forma! I <3 it~ And the punch I said in my other blog post, it really happened, wai~ But my cousin threw a raging fit when she saw it. :D
And maybe, on the next two or three episodes, they'll show how Fran-kun helped Muku-chan escape Vendicare.
Mah~ this episode was a huge turning point in the Arc. Gamma appeared. Byaku used his powers. Daisy was pwned. Roll in Cambio Forma. Mukuro in Cambio Forma on the next episode, yeah.
Go, go, go, Chrome-chan! Tsun-tsun, go pwn Torikabuto, yeah! :3

Synopsis:
The group stands outside Kawahira's shop. Kawahira, while eating ramen, invites them to hide inside. The group stand their ground, unsure of whether they could trust him or not. Kawahira kicks both Tsuna and Gokudera in, saying to trust in Mr.Kawahira. Tsuna finally remembers where he had heard the name.
He recalls old conversations he had with adult I-Pin. Kawahira makes his way to I-Pin, complimenting her and, at the same time, blaming her for bringing soggy noodles from time to time.
Since the group had no other alternative, they decide to take Kawahira up on his offer. Reborn mentions to Tsuna, that should he prove a traitor, they would take him out first.
As the group hides, Kawahira makes his way outside and uses his Hell Ring to create an illusion of a crowded street. Zakuro arrives and seems a bit confused. He questions Kawahira to see if he knew anything about Tsuna's group. Kawahira puts up a convincing act, acting genuinely shocked to see a person come from the sky.
He says that he's seen no group pass by. Zakuro, trusting his instinct, decides to check his shop. Upon seeing that nobody was there, he decides to burn the whole town to find them. However, just as he was about to do so, he remembers Byakuran warning the Wreaths not to kill too many innocent people, as if they do so, Yuni would sacrifice her life to save them. The Wreaths question whether Yuni would really do something like that, to which Byakuran responds that he's seen Yuni give her life away time and time again in the parallel worlds.
Zakuro decides against burning the town, but does settle on burning the shop to try and smoke the Vongola out. Kawahira however, creates a fake killing intent to try and get rid of Zakuro. Zakuro decides to follow it and leaves. The group breathe a sigh of relief, but Reborn begins to get suspicious of Kawahira.
At the school, Dino and Hibari are battling Daisy. Dasiy releases his Sun Rhino, which is easily destroyed by a combination of Dino's Sky Horse and Hibari's Cloud Hedgehog. Daisy seems to be on the backfoot. Dino gives Daisy the chance to walk away as long as he surrenders his Ring. Daisy reveals that he hasn't been fighting seriously at all. He decides to unleash his power since he was out of Box Weapons.
Daisy rips his shirt to reveal a Box Weapon implanted in his own body! Daisy states that this will be the first and last time they ever witness an opening of a Carnage Box. Sun Flames cover the surroundings, Daisy is released.
Back at Kawahira's shop, Tsuna thanks Kawahira for his help. Kawahira mentions in passing that he can sense someone fighting a Funeral Wreath near Namimori Middle School. Tsuna immediately realizes that it was probably Hibari and Dino. Kawahira wonders if they're okay and says that he hopes that they haven't underestimated the power of a Funeral Wreath.
Back at the school, Daisy has transformed into some kind of monster, complete with green scales, a new, fiercer hairdo, slitted eyes, and a completely new personality.
Dino, Hibari, Romario and Kusakabe are taken aback by this sudden change. Dino is contacted by Tsuna, who informs him of their current situation and asks how they're doing. Dino responds that they are currently about to fight a monster. Daisy, realizing that Dino is talking to his comrades, attacks in an attempt to find out where Yuni is hiding. Dino, realizing that he couldn't afford to hold back, releases his Sky Pegasus.
The move seems to have made an impact, as the wings of the pegasus sliced off Daisy's arm. Daisy, with an evil glint in his eye, states that he has seen that attack, and, suddenly, the arm that was sliced begins to completely envelop the Pegasus. The Pegasus falls defeated, Daisy grows a new arm, heading towards Dino to finish him off.
Dino, fired up, states that he prefers to fight without Box Weapons. Dino lights his whip with Flames and unleashes his most powerful move, Salto Volante Veloce Come Luce.
This move seems to leave no blindspots, completely attacking its enemy in an unavoidable barrage of attacks.
Daisy, however, does avoid all the strikes. He chants all the right directions to move into as he avoids the attack. Dino, shocked, finally realized that Byakuran would have seen this attack in parallel worlds, analyzed it, and given the Wreaths the information needed to avoid it.
But, suddenly, Daisy is sent flying from an attack. Hibari intervenes, kicks Dino out of the way, and asks Daisy not to make a mess of the school. He states that he needs to punish Daisy for the wreckage done to the school.
Dino, now out of harm's way, compares Hibari to the First Generation Vongola Guardian, Alaude. He states that Alaude, like Hibari, never grouped himself with the family and always tried to stay alone. However, if Giotto's idea of justice coincided with his, he defeated more enemies and showed more kindness than anyone.
Hibari, finally serious, releases his Cambio Forma in front of amazed allies and a shocked Daisy. Roll transforms into Alaude's Handcuffs. The battle has begun.
My View:
Finally. And again, finally! FINALLY! The fight starts. I'm also happy that the anime is now beginning to catch up with the manga, seeing that the entire 191 really happened in the manga.
I really do wonder where Uncle Kawahira got his Hell Ring. And meh, he really isn't the type of person you should underestimate. He looks goofy and laid-back [when he was facing Zakuro], but he's really strong. Reborn was even wondering how Uncle Kawahira was able to do that [faking a murderous intent].
And yeah, the Daisy/Dino fight was a total bore. My cousin was laughing out loud when Daisy was muttering out loud where the next attack will be. But it was still cool. Meh... It only shows that Byakuran can really communicate with his other self in the other parallel worlds because he was able to study Dino's attack. And when Dino was kind of (yes! KIND OF, not UTTERLY. :D) defeated and Daisy tipped up his face by touching his chin, I was screaming, "DO NOT TOUCH HIS FACE! TOUCH IT AND YOU'LL DIE!" Yeah. I'm a Dino fangirl. =))
And hellz yeah! Roll in Cambio Forma. I can't wait for the next episode.
But there's this scene in the manga that they didn't show in the anime. The part wherein Kyoya was punched by Daisy. >.>
I can't remember if it happened after the Cambio Forma, or after. Damn. Memory gap.
