Ciao-su.
We were living in peace and quiet, but...
This is bad.
I can't move.
Reborn got hit by the Ten-Year Bazooka?
H-Huh?
Reborn?
Where are you, Reborn?
Lambo!
Hey, give me this.
Ouch!
A terrible future awaited us.
The future Tsuna appeared to be dead.
Where is this?
Is this a coffin?
Wait?!
Why am I in a coffin?
More and more allies were sent to this time.
Eek?
Tsuna-kun.
Huh?!
This world is ruled by the Millefiore Family.
The name of their boss was Byakuran.
And one of his subordinates, Shoichi Irie,
apparently held the key for our return to the past.
Two things have become clear so far:
The enemy's objective is to eliminate the Vongola Family.
Our goal is to reach Shoichi Irie.
To that end, we have to assemble the Guardians
and begin learning to use the rings and boxes.
You'd better get Deathperate, Tsuna.
Oh, right. I haven't introduced myself yet.
My name is Gamma. Pleasure to meet you.
This guy is...
The one Lal Mirch mentioned... The super strong...
Gokudera,
we should probably work together here.
Shut up!
Gokudera, you...
I said that I have no intention of joining forces with you.
Scram.
Okay then.
Target 81 Combination
Have fun then.
Been planning on it.
Get lost.
Oh? You two breaking up?
I won't run away, don't worry.
You fight me.
All right then. I guess I'll go myself.
The battle started a long time ago.
I know.
But that's a pretty annoying trick.
You a one-trick pony?
You'll see.
I can deflect these before they explode.
You won't have time.
Taste this! Flame Arrow!
He blew up the dynamite in the air to increase its power?
An electromagnetic barrier?
Is that the ring's own power?
It's not that surprising.
This Mare Ring has the same powers as the ones you Vongola developed.
The same power as the Vongola Rings?
Mare rings?
I guess it's time...
to finish this.
What?
Pool balls?
What?
How does that Shot Plasma taste?
Can you see heaven's gate?
Nobody's here.
Nobody's behind us.
Let's go.
Sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak!
Where are you going?
He's there!
We've been found!
Where are you going?
Why is there another Reborn?
Teleportation?
Reborn-chan.
Let us go!
Wait.
Where are you going?
Eek!
He got ahead of us again?
Where are you going? Where are you going? Where are you going?
Wh-What's going on?!
I'm sorry.
I seem to have startled you.
I was conducting a test of the base's patrol robots.
Then, I found you.
So where were you headed?
It's another illus-
I'm the real thing.
You were probably going after Kyoko, weren't you?
That's right.
Tsuna-san is hurt, yet he's still trying so hard.
I want to help...
So what will you when you get outside?
You know it's dangerous.
But...
I-Pin will protect Haru!
Lambo-san's her bodyguard too...
And I'll get pudding and grapes while I'm out.
I understand how you feel,
but we don't know what'll happen if you go outside.
Stay here.
Tsuna and the others will bring Kyoko back.
Is she okay?
The enemy hasn't really done anything major at this point,
which means they haven't caught her.
She may have an unexpected ally.
An unexpected ally?
We can't use this route.
What should we do?
We'll never find Kyoko-chan this way.
My friends are in danger!
What's wrong?
Somebody threw something.
Look at this.
Kurokawa
Kurokawa?
Could it be...
Hana Kurokawa?
What?
Kyoko-chan's there too!
So we know why the Sasagawa girl wasn't captured by the enemy.
Yeah.
He electrified the balls and then made them spark in the ground?
To be precise,
it's a type of Deathperation Flame extremely similar to electricity.
The unique characteristic of the lightning flame
is that it does more damage as its purity increases.
Just sit back...
and enjoy heaven!
Damn!
I won't let that hit me again!
What?
Only three of them?
There were still more left...
You jumped without ungrounding yourself.
I already know every plan you could try.
This is it.
Damn, I can't dodge.
Kurokawa
Kyoko-chan!
Tsuna-kun!
I'm so glad you're safe...
Shh. You're too loud!
Sawada's gotten smaller too.
I'm sorry... I was just so worried about my brother.
Oh, yeah.
Don't worry about it.
Anyway, I have good news.
Hibird showed up.
Hibird?
That's...
Hurry, Sawada!
Yeah....
Sorry, Kurokawa-san...
Can you hide Kyoko-chan here a bit more?
Sure, I guess...
Thanks.
I have to deal with Hibird right now.
See you later.
They seem busy.
Tsuna-kun...
Wait a second.
Y-Yeah.
Just now, he told her about Hibird, but not Gokudera and Yamamoto.
Was that to keep her from worrying?
He may be a kid, but he really is the same Vongola X.
Wh-What?
No, this way isn't good.
We'll take a different route.
This is it.
Damn... I can't dodge it!
A rescuer?
What did you...
What are you doing?
I came to beat some sense into you.
This whole thing was frustrating me.
What?
Huh? What the heck is this?
When you first came to Japan, you were a lone wolf
until you met Tsuna. You didn't believe in anybody.
So, I think
I understand why you're so loyal to the first person that you opened
your heart, to Tsuna.
But letting yourself get close to him just puts pressure on him.
What are you saying?
A "right hand" you know,
is the leader of the Guardians; the one the boss trusts most, isn't he?
You've gotta gather all the Guardians and lead them.
So why the hell are you ignoring them?
As you are, you're not worthy of being his right-hand man.
I'll take your place.
Sorry to make you wait.
Nah, I rather enjoyed watching that.
You know, when I was a kid, I used to murder folks in a snap.
But as you get older,
you start to think that maybe there's some value in listening to them talk.
If you don't, you forget who you killed, you know?
He thinks this'll be easy?
I hope I don't forget you guys.
I'll cut him in half.
Your weapon is a sword?
But my Deathperation Flames are very similar to electricity.
The second they strike that blade, they'll travel to your body and fry you.
Gokudera, you...
You want the electricity to roast you?
If you die, the boss'll be sad!
Hey, guys, you get one intermission.
Give up.
You're going to die here.
Yeah, we would've died one after another...
If we were alone.
That's why the boss put us together.
Well, I guess he made me look out for Yamamoto.
Gokudera...
Get up already, Yamamoto.
We'll team up to pound him flat.
Yeah, I've been waiting for that.
So how'll we do it?
I'll fire off a shot to make him keep his head down.
When he comes down, cut him down.
Gotcha.
That's not a very detailed plan, coming from you.
It's a start.
Got it. Then I guess I've gotta make it easier for you to fire.
Guys,
I'm getting a little tired of waiting here.
You can take your next break in heaven, okay?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Let's go!
That won't work.
Over here!
How many times do I have to tell you?
That won't work.
Yeah?
Now!
Rise, Rocket Bomb!
They're guided?
No, they turn?
Got you!
Nice. Not a bad idea.
But... not quite there.
Elettro Volpi!
Volpi?
Foxes?
Get close and you'll be electrocuted.
Get him, Yamamoto!
Yeah!
That's not trust. That's insanity.
Storm Guardian, your attacks won't work on me.
Man, you never shut up.
I said they wouldn't work.
Don't underestimate the Vongola!
The flame blew out?
Go, Yamamoto.
Shigure Soen Ryu Stance 8:
Pouring Rain!
Pouring Rain
Got him.
Was scared for a sec, though.
Don't be scared, fool. You're with the right-hand man here.
What's so funny?
Nothing.
But I bet Tsuna and the others will be surprised
when we tell them we took out an enemy general.
Don't get all cocky over this.
Well, I do have a duty to report to the boss.
Yamamoto!
Ya-Yamamoto?
If his sword had been surrounded in Deathperation Flames,
I might've taken a little damage.
He's uninjured.
N-No way... How?
The fox?
The fox blocked it?
You're kidding. I thought I extinguished his Deathperation Flames!
Well now, we have a few issues here.
When did Vongola X come back to life?
You'll have to fill me in on that.
I hope Gokudera-kun and Yamamoto are all right...
We'd get to the shrine faster if we could take bigger streets...
Meat Magic
What do you think?
This road is sealed off by enemies too.
We'll have to take the long way.
Man...
Gokudera-kun... Yamamoto.
Kurokawa
You were sent here from ten years ago?
It's really hard to think of it as anything but a dream...
But when I see you here, Kyoko, and young Sawada...
I have to believe it.
Hana, thank you.
But why are they after you?
Tsuna-kun and his friends are looking into it, they say.
Why don't you call the police?
They said making this time even more messed up isn't good...
I see.
But who is Sawada really?
What?
No, it doesn't matter.
Oh, yeah...
Your brother had a message for you.
Ryohei Sasagawa is overseas on business.
My brother is overseas?
Yeah. He said he went to meet a very girly man.
Huh? Girly man?
Or maybe it was a group that had a girly man as part of it.
It was a sudden order from his boss.
You, or well...
The you from this time was away on a trip as part of a college course.
So he asked me to tell you.
This is the hotel he's staying at.
I called it a bunch of times, but they say he hasn't returned.
He said if something had happened to you
when I went to deliver the message, to tell Sawada.
Tsuna-kun?
Yeah.
I wondered what he meant,
but now there are guys in black looking for you?
So I called Sawada, but he didn't answer.
Your brother is really cautious, though.
He gave me another place to contact if I couldn't get Sawada.
What place is that?
He said something about Hibird, didn't he?
Huh?
Anyway, I have good news.
Hibird showed up.
Hibird?
I think that has to do with the place I contacted.
Place you contacted?
It's been a while, Namimori.
Next time:
The Strongest Guardian.
