Ciao-su.
The Sky battle has reached its climax
as Tsuna works to fully master the Deathperation Zero Point Breakthrough.
You bastard...
I won't be defeated by that fake Zero Point Breakthrough...
By scum like you...
Damn it...
Damn you!
You worthless scum!
I'll crush you!
And when Gokudera and Yamamoto went to rescue
the final Guardian, Chrome Dokuro, they found these two.
We've been waiting.
Target 62 Tactics
Good, you seem to be doing better now.
Now I'm gonna...
I have to pay them a little visit to thank them for the wonderful things
they did to my school.
I'll make you pay!
S-Squalo!
You're late, Dino.
Sorry about that.
But I made it in time, right?
What do you mean, maggot?
I cannot believe he is alive...
How is this possible?
This is bad.
Put me down.
Don't taint my pride as a swordsman.
But... you know...
Shut up.
Listen, punk, your swordsmanship ain't bad.
You just need to toughen up.
Squalo!
On the day of the Rain battle, I had my men sneak in as a precaution.
But it wasn't Yamamoto who fell into the water...
Namimori Central Hospital
Operation in Progress
You awake, Squalo?
Bronco? That you?
I thought Yamamoto would've been the one in trouble after your fight.
I came ready to save him.
I never thought it'd turn out like this.
Why would you help me?
You should've just... left me there.
It'd cause problems for me if you died now.
You've always been too naïve, Bronco.
Maybe so.
But if my kid brother was here instead of me,
he'd do the same, without giving a single thought to himself.
He wouldn't abandon someone, even if they were an enemy.
I think Tsuna is the perfect person to be Vongola X.
Why are you drawn to Xanxus?
Your only concern in life was mastering the sword.
What on earth would make you bow down and obey him, Squalo?
He's been silent ever since.
Then why is he here?
I figured I'd let him see the Sky battle.
And...
I thought being here might make him feel like talking.
You there!
Squalo!
I understand now.
All of the living Guardians are being forced to take part in the match.
Come on, ladies...
Don't you think it's a bit unreasonable to send him out to the battlefield now?
You weren't able to figure out that he was alive.
That's your fault.
We were aware of that.
The Sky battle will continue as planned.
However, we will have everyone enter the spectators' area.
Sure, no problem.
You know, his rage is what gave him the strength to realize his ambitions.
That's what impressed me, and why I followed him.
You idiots...
Hand over the rings you have, would you?
If you don't, some very bad things are going to happen to this girl.
Screw you! As if we'd fall for such a cheap trick!
Do you have any idea who we are?
We're the Varia assassination squad.
We don't lie about something like this.
Stop it! That's not fair!
How can we know you'll let Dokuro go if we give you the rings?
It's your choice to believe us or not.
But take too long and the Death Heater's poison will kill her before we do.
Damn it...
What's going on here?!
They're not showing what's going on in the gym!
Maybe the camera broke.
Hey, you girls, do something about this!
We'll activate the backup camera immediately.
One moment, please.
Hey.
Worried about that little cutie?
Shut up! Like I care about her!
It's just that she's...
Mukuro?
Is it for him?
Mukuro-san...
Why isn't he here?
We were supposed to meet here!
Master Mukuro...
they're already after us.
It's no use! We can't get away!
I see that Vindice Penitentiary isn't called the Iron Wall for nothing.
From here, we'll split up and escape separately.
I can manage on my own.
You would just get in my way.
That day, he was trying to help us escape...
Mukuro-san!
Ken!
Where are you going?
I'm gonna save Mukuro-san!
There's no point. If he was caught by the Vindice,
then he's been moved to a place with even tighter security.
So what should we do?
At this rate...
I'd gladly give up my life for Mukuro-san!
You can't.
Mukuro-san?
Who are you?
Ken and Chikusa?
Don't act like you know us!
Who are you?
Chrome Dokuro.
I came here because of Master Mukuro.
He is currently in a dark and silent place.
He cannot leave.
But his spirit is right here with me.
I see you both escaped safely... Ken, Chikusa.
M-Mukuro-san!
M-Mukuro-san, y-you're...
Despite her help, it seems this is as much as I can do right now.
Master Mukuro...
No need to worry. They want to keep me alive...
Because I'm useful to them.
They?
I find it rather ironic, though, that I'm going to end up helping the Mafia.
Would you accompany her and lend them your power?
To protect Vongola X.
Chrome...
So, what'll you do?
Looks like we have no choice but to hand over the rings.
Wh-What are you saying?!
I have the Rain and Cloud Rings...
Gokudera has the Storm, Sun, and Lightning Rings.
Put them together with that Mist Ring you have, and that's all of them.
Lucky us! We won't have to go through any effort to get them.
Hey! You stupid baseball freak!
Why are you telling them all that?
What are you thinking?!
But! We won't just hand them over!
First, we'll trade the Rain and Cloud Rings for the antidote for her.
What?
If you do that, we'll trust you, and trade her for the rest of the rings.
Hey, who do you think is in charge here?
You want to save her, don't you?
Well, it's okay, Bel.
At least we'll end up with all the rings.
That's true.
They can't do a thing.
We'll take care of them after we get the rings.
But we won't get in your sword's range.
Carefully throw the rings to us from there.
Only if you give her the antidote at the same time!
How demanding. I don't think you understand the position you're in.
Well, whatever.
Crap...
What are you doing?
Let's go.
Shigure Soen Ryu, Stance 3:
Last Minute Rain
Last Minute Rain.
Ow!
What?
He kicked the sword with his foot!
Don't move.
Right.
Ow...
And the tables are turned.
Way to go, Yamamoto!
You guys don't suck after all.
Good thing I was being cautious.
They vanished!
Where did they go?!
The second you set foot in the gym, you stepped into my world.
How about we take the remaining rings?
They were just illusions?
Now the tide has turned for the last time.
Taste death!
Is that all you've got?!
Die!
He dodged it!
If Tsuna absorbed that much flame from Xanxus,
he would not be able to merge them with his own and expel it.
No... No way!
For him to overcome Master Sawada's might so easily...
I'll wipe you out!
Tsuna, what are you going to do?
Is he going to just take Xanxus' flame?
But in such a position, he cannot use the Zero Point breakthrough!
This is the end.
Tsuna!
Master Sawada!
There's so much smoke, I can't see.
No, look! Someone's there, maggot!
It's Xanxus!
Th-That's...
That's what you get.
Don't be hasty.
Huh?
Look at his hands.
Hands?
That's...
Xanxus' hands are...
...Frozen!
This phenomenon...
It can't be the same as back then... Can it?
This is...
Tsuna!
I see...
This must be the Zero Point Breakthrough that the first Vongola devised.
Reversing the Deathperation state means you can also reverse the state of the flame itself.
I see. The opposite of fire...
That would be ice.
But it's more than just that.
To be able to freeze Xanxus' flame...
The style of his technique is almost like...
A technique created to seal Deathperation Flames.
No way... Impossible.
This is impossible!
You're back to square one.
Nah, we've got the Rain and Cloud Rings, so we're even better off.
Damn it...
Now, give us the other three rings.
If you don't, the girl...
...is gonna be in a world of pain.
What are you waiting for?
Beat those guys already!
The effects of the poison have incapacitated her.
She can't free herself.
Stop!
Die!
Which one's the real one?
You just don't get it.
Losers who fall prey to illusions have no right to do anything on this field.
D-Damn it...
You guys will be finished off here... by the power of your own imaginations.
Hayato and Yamamoto!
This is bad.
They're trapped!
Now we're really in a desperate position...
No one can save them but you.
Shatter the adversity plaguing your Family with your own hands!
Blaze, Sun!
Maximum Cannon!
What was that?
It came from outside!
Y-You okay?
Yeah...
Dokuro's fine too.
But what the hell was that?
The whole gym's in ruins.
Did that blast come from... It can't be...
You?
Sorry about that.
I couldn't stand the wait.
And here's 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...

...will be Capricorn.
I'll write that in my Book of Rankings!
Hold... it... in...

But my luck goes to boxing!
See ya next time!
That was all Lambo-san!
Ciao-ciao.
Bye-bye.
Next time:
Freezing Flame.
