"Lots of ways to play! For ages 1 and up."
Man, what a relief.
Lambo-san's back in action!
I'm hungry! I'm hungry! I'm hungry!
Gotta admit, it does kinda suck when that stupid cow isn't around.
Target 56 Gokudera's Story
Gokudera's Story.
It's really quiet.
The boss and Reborn-san haven't come yet?
Yo, stupid cow!
How are y-?
Oh...
He's out cold again.
A-Are you awake?
Hooray! Found an octopus weenie!
H-Hey!
Who're you calling a octopus weenie?!
Oh, Gokudera?
Well, since you're injured...
I'll let it slide today.
Here.
I brought a present.
Takoyaki!
Hey! Don't eat them all at once!
Man...
That's why I warned you.
I'd rather have one of Mama's omelettes than takoyaki.
Don't be selfish after you ate them all!
Listen, stupid cow, let's take advantage of this chance.
Of what?
It doesn't look like you have any idea what's going on, so I'll fill you in.
Starting with our boss, we're all in a lot of trouble right now.
Hey! Are you listening?!
I'm a hitman.
Building blocks are for kids.
I told you to listen!
I-I got it!
Pay attention.
It all began that day.
Hide-and-seek time is over.
He's here!
Who is this guy?
He does not recognize Master Sawada?
Drat, I should have pretended to not know him.
You gonna tell me or what?!
H-Hey!
Hey!
I know, how about you.
What business do you have with him?
Answer me!
Or I'll kill ya!
No, don't!
Um...
What?
Go ahead, try to lay a hand on him.
But you might not get off so easy.
Yup, that's how it goes.
We'll be your opponents.
I wasn't even carrying my bat with me, so why do I have it?
Must've been Reborn's doing...
Are you involved in this too?
Hey!
I don't really understand, but let me tell you how this is gonna go down.
You stand against me, you die!
Right back at ya.
That's a sword, right?
I'll go first.
You won't have time to regret this!
Here I go!
Nice so-called swordsmanship. You haven't been formally trained, huh?
What of it?!
You're too easy!
Gunpowder!
Yamamoto!
Damn you!
You're too slow!
What?!
Gokudera-kun!
Hey!
They were nothin' but talk.
Die.
Yo, trash.
Feel like talking yet?
I refuse!
Then, this will become your grave!
This is bad... Really bad...
Wh-What should I do?
What?!
Th-These are...
These gloves are...
Die, you mongrel!
Re-Born!
Long hair!
I'll beat you...
like...
my life depends on it!
Hey!
What just happened?
The Deathperation Flame...
and the emblem on his gloves...
Hey!
You're weak!
So his Deathperation wasn't enough...
N-Not good!
Hey!
How long are you gonna run?!
You coward!
Damn.
Th-Thanks.
A-Are y-you okay?
My name is Basil.
My master instructed me to give thee something.
Huh? Me?
And who's your master?
Take these.
What are they?
Reborn-san should have knowledge of them.
What? You know Reborn?!
Reborn!
You put this ring around my neck, didn't you?!
Did not.
Don't lie to me!
Who else would've?!
Hasn't he told you anything?
"He"?
Who are you talking about?
N-Never mind!
I want nothing to do with the Mafia!
Don't get me involved!
What are you talking about?
You've got plenty to do with them.
Huh?
That ring is proof that you're the legitimate successor to the Vongola Family.
Wh-What did you say?!
You mean this thing makes me a real Mafioso?!
Pretty much.
Don't say that...
This isn't funny.
I personally think it's too early for you to wear that ring...
Huh?
But because of our current pressing circumstances, we've no time to wait.
Pressing circumstances?
A crazy group is after the rings and the great power they hold.
And we also...
Nakayama Surgery
Oh, yeah, something weird happened this morning.
That's right!
I opened the mailbox to get the newspaper and this was inside.
This was at my place.
I was wondering if they had something to do with that guy from yesterday.
Are those rings...?!
Do you know what this is, Tsuna?
They're dangerous!
You'll be targeted if you have one!
Really?
Boss, you've got one too!
Yeah, but why do you guys...
Because they've also been chosen.
Dino-san!
And Reborn!
There are seven Vongola Rings in total.
And their significance can only be realized when seven members of the Family carry them.
Seven members of the Family...?
The other six rings were distributed
to those fit to protect the next Vongola boss, Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Vongola Half Rings?
Yeah.
You probably didn't know, but you were chosen to be a Guardian too.
Lambo-san is special!
Call him Lambo-sama!
And we started training with our respective tutors.
So let's start the first stage.
Don't tell me those are all Deathperation Shots...
W-Wait!
You didn't tell me I'd be training!
S-Stop!
Re-Born!
I'll train like my life depends on it!
The boss had Reborn-san and Basil.
Turf top had Colonnello.
Hibari had Bronco.
Yamamoto had his father, the successor to the Shigure Soen Ryu.
And me, I had Shamal.
We went through some intense training,
all to prepare for one-on-one matches with the Varia's Guardians, led by Xanxus.
Battles to the death between those who held matching rings.
And now, the battle for the Sun Rings,
Lussuria vs. Ryohei Sasagawa,
will begin!
The ring's shining!
The second you miss will be your last.
I see him!
Maximum Cannon!
He did it!
Huh?!
A clean hit might've nailed me that time.
No way,
he was so close!
Nah,
that punch was just right.
What?
Above you, boss!
You mean...
The lights!
Looks like we're evenly matched now.
Watch out!
He can see!
Way to pull through, turf top.
Guess he was aiming for the lights from the beginning.
You really are persistent!
But I'll finish you!
Maximum Cannon!
Extreme Sun - Maximum Cannon
The Lightning Ring match
between Leviathan and Lambo...
will now begin!
Pretty surreal scene.
It'll be over in an instant.
I wonder how you play with this.
Is it gonna flash again like before?
Oh man...
Don't stand on that!
You'll be electrocuted to death!
I can't watch this!
Run away, Lambo!
Lambo!
Th-This is bad!
Lambo, run away!
Adult Lambo!
That hurt!
Not so fast!
If the already adult version of the stupid cow uses the Ten-Year Bazooka...
Wh-What happens?
What is this extraordinarily intimidating pressure?
What's happening?
Is he another of Sawada's acquaintances?
Y-Yeah, probably...
D-Don't tell me...
That's...
Lambo, twenty years later?!
You won't get away this time.
I have no intention of getting away.
Thunder Set.
Throw down your sword.
Any more and your life will...
Lambo!
I'm all dizzy now.
I was really worried at the time.
And the one who saved you when you were laying there...
Wh-What?
If I were to lose an important ally before my eyes,
I wouldn't be able to die enough times to make up for it!
And the boss also told me...
Cut the crap!
What do you think you're fighting for?!
We've gotta have a snowball fight together again!
We've gotta watch fireworks!
That's why you're fighting!
That's why you're getting stronger!
I want to have fun with everyone again!
That won't happen if you die!
Gokudera-kun!
Gokudera!
Squid head!
I'm sorry, boss.
I told you I'd get the ring, but...
I came back to see the fireworks.
I'm glad, Gokudera-kun...
I really am.
First it was the stupid cow...
Then me...
The boss has such a big heart...
Huh? Gokudera, you crying?
What're you, some crybaby?
Shut up! I'm not done talking yet!
And now...
Let the battle between the Guardians of the Rain Ring,
Superbi Squalo and Takeshi Yamamoto...
begin!
Don't get cocky, boy!
I'll show you the true might of my blade!
Here I go.
Huh?
He disappeared.
Shigure Soen Ryu: Stance 9!
It's over!
The other direction?
Not bad...
But my blade has no blind spots!
An artificial hand?
Impossible... What I cut was...
A reflection on the water's surface.
Reflecting Rain
Reflecting Rain!
So this is... defeat...?
Yamamoto won the match between the Guardians of the Rain Ring.
But, uh, it must've been a fluke.
However, the Guardian of the Mist Ring gave us a big surprise.
Calm down, you guys.
They brought the Guardian of the Mist Ring.
What did you say, Reborn-san?!
You mean these guys...
Y-You can't be saying the Guardian of the Mist Ring is...
M-Mukuro Rokudo?!
Negative.
Huh?
My name is Chrome.
Chrome Dokuro.
But, Dokuro...
N-No...
No!
Master Mukuro...
The man who then appeared...
How nice to see you again.
I have returned from the
depths of the Paths of Rebirth.
You lost for one simple reason:
I was your opponent.
Stop!
What?!
Will this do?
Then came the last Guardian battle.
Let the battle for the Cloud Ring,
between Gola Moska and Kyoya Hibari,
begin!
Wha-?
Mama, another omelette please...
Fell asleep, huh?
You can be a pretty nice guy, Gokudera.
Reborn-san!
How long have you been here?!
From the beginning.
Y-You were here the whole time?
D-Don't tell me the boss is also...
Tsuna went to school today.
Phew...
The boss didn't see me acting weird.
Honestly, he's the only one who looks like he doesn't have a care in the world.
And that concludes the story of the battles between the Guardians.
The struggle between Tsuna and Xanxus to become the official Vongola X
will now unfold in a battle between the two of them.
The action will definitely get heated up in tonight's Sky Ring match.
Which is exactly why, for the sake of that moment, I must...
Wh-What are you gonna do?
He fell asleep!
Nakayama Surgery
He's just conserving energy!
And now what you've been waiting for.
The horoscope for...
...next week!
The best three, maggot!
Lambo-san is here too!
You do this then.
That's right, maggot!
Hold... it... in...
The third sign for next week...
Taurus You'll have a hundred times more energy if you eat nuts!
...will be Taurus.
All right!
I'll hit a home run next week!
Hold... it... in...
Number two for next week...
Pisces A star-shaped pendant will bring good fortune.
...will be Pisces.
I wonder if that means I can eat two special cakes to celebrate?
Hold... it... in...
And the top sign...
Scorpio When it comes to the person you like, stay bold!
...will be Scorpio.
Let's celebrate with some poison cooking.
See ya next time!
That was all Lambo-san!
Ciao-ciao.
Bye-bye.
Next time:
The Sky Battle Begins!
