Saturday I met with Ciel and Shiden, Reborn fans. With the idea of doing a Reborn group cosplay for the December Yume, and a probable photoshoot. Hopefully this can also be start of the local Famiglia Vongola branch. Would be fun.

On the Reborn anime, with the Arcobaleno trials, it was obvious Tsuna wasn't going to breeze through them. So he and his Guardians got beaten in Reborn's leadership trial. The only one that didn't get hurt was Lambo because he slept through the whole thing. But then again, they all fought individually and not as a team.

So the trick would be to get the Guardians, Lambo included, to work together. And Verde has yet to make his appearance

We did get to see a bit more about how the Arcobaleno came to be. Did Luche really get turned into a baby while still pregnant? That would explain why Aria fell ill and died with the non-trinisette radiation and Uni is able to activate the Arcobaleno pacifiers. They inherited some Arcobaleno characteristics from Luche.

In the manga, it's a short battle between Illusion!Mukuro and Byakuran, as Mukuro tries to delay Byakuran in order for Tsuna and the rest to escape with Uni. he still hasn't escaped from the Vendicare prison, but is in the process out being busted out. Most interesting part of the dialogue is Byakuran realizing that Mukuro had a companion to help him escape from his inital trap, to which Mukuro answers "I would hardly call that child sufficiently capable to be considered a companion of mine." (Quoted from cnet128's translation).

Mukuro could be talking about Fran. Even if we haven't seen more than a couple of illusions to trick Siel, Fran must be capable enough to be able to wield a Hell Ring and kidnapped into joining the Varia. As for Mukuro talking that way, he does have a tendency of looking down on people that aren't Chrome, Chikusa, Ken, Hibari or Tsuna.

It's certainly fuel for my 'Mukuro is Fran's master of sorts' theory.

In any case, now that Tsuna and company have escaped from the Choice battlefield and back in Namimori, Gamma can join them. That is if he's still hiding in the alleys od Namimori and not captured by Byakuran to serve as a hostage to recover Uni. Not that that's going to work, according to Uni herself.

Angry Byakuran is scary.

And I finished mom's Edward Elric plushie!

I like how the braid came out.

Feeling: creative
