Check this out!
This is the real Maximum Cannon!
I'm all dizzy now.
I am the one most suited to being the Guardian of the Lightning Ring.
Not you.
Scum like you isn't needed.
Disappear into nothing!
I can't return empty-handed!
If I go back now, I couldn't call myself the boss's right-hand man!
The ring...
I'm the winner...
Reflecting Rain
Reflecting Rain!
So this is... defeat...?
Rather flashy... for a bunch of Mafiosi.
You lost for one simple reason: I was your opponent.
I see...
I just need to bite that to death.
The battle for the rings against the strongest
assassination squad, the Varia, is finally coming to an end.
Each side holds three rings, and fighting
the decisive battle to determine the winner
is the Guardian of the Cloud Ring, Kyoya Hibari.
Hey, Romario.
Kyoya...
didn't seem worried about that...
Gola Moska guy in the least.
Hibari defeated Gola Moska with a single blow
and the tide of the battle turned at last.
Now, things are looking bad for the Varia.
Here. I don't need it.
What? Hey...
You there, in the chair.
Get over here.
I'm not going home until I beat the crap out of the king of the mountain.
Target 54 The Guardian of the Cloud Ring's Frenzy
My foot slipped.
Must've.
I'm not kidding.
I only came to collect that piece of junk,
since we lost and all.
That's not what your face is telling me.
What's Hibari doing?!
He just beat that machine!
Another mine!
Hibari!
How long are you going to keep that up?
Relax, buddy, I won't interfere.
If you say so.
Either way, I'll be biting you to death.
You've got no right to challenge our boss!
Calm down, Mr. Doom and Gloom.
What? Doom and Gloom?!
If we try to take action against them after losing the tournament,
it'll be seen as an act of rebellion against the next boss,
and we'll all be killed.
Are you saying we should leave that cocky kid alone?
I'm sure our boss has something up his sleeve.
Like what?
No clue. Mammon or Squalo might've known.
What did I just...
You did it, Tsuna.
That's the Deathperate Zero Point Breakthrough.
What?
Well done!
Impressive, Master Sawada.
At last, thou hast perfected the technique only the first Vongola boss could use.
I...
never would've thought of such an unexpected technique.
I never would've been able to do it on my own.
I owe you big time, Basil-kun.
Thank you!
All right, Tsuna, let's get moving.
Yeah.
Let's go to Nami Middle.
I thought you weren't going to "interfere."
That guy... Is he actually pushing the boss back?
Unbelievable.
Cervello.
Yes, Xanxus-sama?
Don't forget anything that happens here.
Especially that I'm not attacking.
What was that?
Hibari!
Wh-What're those?!
This is bad! Run for it!
What have we here?
Crap.
Damn it...
Hey, you all right?
Yeah.
Are you okay?!
Sasagawa?
What the hell is going on here?
I have no idea.
Th-That's...
I tried to warn you.
I was going to retrieve it,
but that Guardian of the Cloud Ring stopped me.
Thanks to him, Moska's controls stopped working.
He's out of control?
We're almost there.
This way.
I've brought them.
Master!
Sorry, I messed up...
Please don't move.
You can laugh at me, 'cause I really messed up...
I can't believe I didn't realize it until I got shot.
Vongola IX?!
No, he's just a shadow.
What?
You mean, a fake?!
We were completely duped.
But there's no excuse...
So then, where's Vongola IX?
I found the Fenicia's flight schedule in his room.
It's from a week ago.
The Fenicia?
Vongola IX's private jet?
But, a week ago, the Fenicia should've been
in the hangar for engine maintenance...
That information's false.
It was headed to Japan.
We're in trouble...
Damn! This is nuts!
A-A compressed particle cannon?!
He's just attacking everything at random!
At this rate, we'll all be in danger.
Well ain't this a cryin' shame!
He's laughing...
What a bastard.
He didn't care about the fight at all.
He just wanted to cause an "accident" to wipe us all out.
That's why he provoked Hibari.
That's so low!
So you used me?
What was that? Vongola IX went to Japan?
If he's trying to control the ring contest,
then watching from nearby only makes sense.
So Vongola IX went to Japan to try to make Xanxus the next successor?
If you think of the Cervello Agency
as Vongola IX's hands and arms,
it all fits.
Th-That's true.
Then he's been behind this the whole time?
Master, what should we do?
I have a lot of questions to ask him.
We should go to Japan too.
Master, please don't force yourself!
I-I'm fine.
You have questions for Vongola IX, do you?
It's too late for that.
What are you saying?
You're too late!
Hey!
It's dangerous out in the field!
Chikusa? Ken?
Man, you're a lot of trouble, girl.
Crap...
This is bad!
They're trapped!
That's...
That flame...
He's here.
Boss?
That's...
B-Boss!
He's here, but...
What's going on?
Looks like Moska's going to destroy everything.
His movements aren't human.
Is he completely out of control?
Trash gets taken out bag by bag. It's no different here.
What?!
Unbelievable.
H-He's flying...
Th-That's amazing, boss!
What was that?
What did he just do?
Amazing...
Boss...
Hey, blockhead.
Your opponent is me.
Warning. Warning.
Adjusting target.
Destroy!
Sa-Sawada...!
What's going on? Why're the missiles targeting the boss?
He's after Tsuna.
Huh?
Moska's made Tsuna his sole target.
B-Boss!
Tsuna!
He couldn't have!
This is bad. He can't dodge in midair!
Boss!
Too slow.
He's strong!
Yeah!
Way to go, boss!
This can't be happening...
B-Boss?
Spill it!
Come on! Too late for what?
Start talking!
Sure, if that's all you want to know, I'd be glad to.
Do you know that the Vongola helped create a secret military weapon?
It was a cursed weapon that should have been buried in history.
Do you mean that humanoid weapon that was delivered to the Varia?
Yes, Gola Moska.
Moska?
Do you know why Gola Moska was dumped like trash?
Even the military, who developed it, tried to cover it all up.
I'm guessing you have no idea why.
What are you going on about?
Gola Moska, you see, was an inhumane weapon.
It works by devouring the life of another.
What?
What is this guy talking about?
Specifically,
it only utilizes the energy from a certain type of person
who possess the flame life energy.
H-He can't mean...
Master, what's wrong?
It needs to stop!
What?
The Guardian of the Cloud Ring battle must be stopped at once!
H-He defeated that monster!
Way to go, Tsuna!
Great job, boss!
Is it over now?
Man, what a mess.
Well done! That mechanical weapon was no match for Master Sawada!
But one thing still bothers me.
What?
It must've occurred to him to have Moska fight at full strength,
which would wipe us all out and give them the win.
Why would Xanxus act in such a roundabout way?
Xanxus, why do this?
With one hand?
He did it!
And now what you've been waiting for.
