Ciao-su.
We've all be sent ten years into the future.
The future Tsuna appeared to be dead.
And according to Lal Mirch...
Vongola HQ was destroyed.
This world is ruled by the Millefiore Family.
The name of their boss is Byakuran.
But Byakuran's goal may be more than just eliminating the Vongola Family.
It's really suspicious.
Anyway, there's no time to waste.
We're all going to train hard and attack the Millefiore hideout.
You'll have to master the X Glove ver. Vongola Ring like your life depends on it, Tsuna.
Mukuro-sama, what's going on?
A bird?
I didn't expect to see you as your younger self.
But I'm glad the information about this place was true.
It's here! It's here! It's really here.
The Chrome Dokuro sampling party.
Target 90 Gufo di Pioggia
I'm so full.
Man, I'm stuffed.
I feel most at ease at times like this.
The hand rolled sushi was really good.
Yes! It's exactly the flavor you'd expect of sushi made by Take Sushi's successor.
I guess all my hard work paid off.
Lambo-san helped too!
No, the stupid cow was just playing.
That's so not true!
Hey, I helped too, didn't I?
Yeah.
Yes, yes. Lambo-chan was able to help too.
I did it!
No, you just got in the way.
What was that?!
Gokudera, you're a stupid stupid-head!
Take this!
Knock it off!
Hold... it... in...
Gokudera-san, what are you doing to Lambo-chan?
Shut up, stupid woman.
Who are you calling a stupid woman?!
Ah... This brings back memories for some reason.
What happened to Bianchi?
No idea...
Did something happen?
Kusakabe-sama has arrived by request of Hibari-sama.
He wants to hold an emergency meeting.
Emergency?
It seems to have something to do with Mukuro Rokudo.
What?!
In any event, please come to the briefing room immediately.
I'll inform the boss as well!
Who are you?
I'm Glo Xinia.
From the look of it, you don't know you've timed-traveled.
Huh?
You could almost be the Alice who wandered into Wonderland.
Time-traveled?
Still, I never expected you to be such a brat, even ten years ago.
The mature you is much more my type.
Let's see...
Seems to be hardened with something.
That's why it wasn't showing up on the radar.
But I know it's...
A ring! A ring! A Vongola Ring!
That hurts!
That hurts, huh?
Then why are you blushing?
It's my nature.
Get out!
Get out now!
This is our place.
This is where Mukuro-sama, Ken and Chikusa will return to!
This is great.
You really are fine.
My heart will dance through those tiny feelings of yours,
only to plant trauma in your heart.
Listen up, little miss Chrome.
Mukuro-sama was defeated by me!
You're lying!
Now, let me hear more of your bell-like voice!
Oh, yes, please give me more of those sweet tones!
What do you mean, there's been a change in Mukuro's movements?
Shouldn't he still be in Vindice Penitentiary?
We had assumed so.
Joshima, Kakimoto, and Chrome
made a failed attempt to rescue Mukuro from there five years ago.
After that, the three of them were never heard from again.
But about six months ago, a strange rumor started going around.
A strange rumor?
That Mukuro was defeated.
Wh-What?
The Millefiore were the ones that announced it.
Glo Xinia apparently took him out.
Glo Xinia?
Look at the monitor in front of you.
That's the 8th Squad's captain, Glo Xinia.
One of the few A-ranks, he's incredibly capable and strong.
This guy...
...defeated Mukuro?
I suspect he fought someone possessed by Mukuro.
Though I'm sure he took a great deal of damage,
he shouldn't have died.
We believe this because Chrome Dokuro was
spotted making contact with another individual at an Italian airport.
Ch-Chrome's alive!
She looks badly injured, though.
I see! If Mukuro was dead, then Chrome couldn't be alive!
But since Chrome is missing right now,
the guy who secretly met with her must've been the one who acted.
Well done. You're correct.
Hibari believes this man is connected to Mukuro somehow.
Connected how?
What other information do we have?
None here.
Neither do we.
We haven't a single clue as to this man's identity.
What we do know is that he's not someone you're familiar with.
That doesn't really help us out at all.
At this point,
we're continuing with efforts to figure out
what he's up to and where he is.
Oh, but there is one interesting clue regarding Mukuro's location.
There is?
Yes, it's in this picture.
I've seen that before. It's Hibird.
Illusion techniques put things in your brain that aren't actually there
in order to confuse you.
Such childish pranks won't work on me.
His tricks were exactly the same,
and I broke them all easily.
Even the physical manifestation of
Mukuro Rokudo in your own body won't stand a chance.
My prized Rain Owl, Gufo di Pioggia,
beat him to an unrecognizable pulp.
You're lying.
Mukuro-sama would never lose!
You stopped learning ten years ago, didn't you?
Well then, let me show you
the sorcery of this era!
The pillars of fire were wiped out.
Is this an illusion?
This is real.
The main characteristic of a Rain Box Weapon is tranquility.
Gufo di Pioggia's wave wiped out your flame and stopped your attack,
then halted your body's functions,
and will now sink your consciousness into the darkness.
Looks like it's about time to partake of that ring... and you.
This is bad. I have to run...
I'm getting excited!
Fruit Gum
Ken?
Huh?
What is this?
Huh?!
Can't you tell?
It's an emergency hideout.
Ken, gum doesn't count as an emergency ration...
Shut up!
As long as it's edible!
But...
You mustn't fall asleep, my dear Chrome.
How about here?
This is the second time you've run away.
After Mukuro was defeated and you returned to your own body,
you jumped out a window.
You must hate me quite a lot.
But that makes torturing you worth it.
That... That was Mukuro-sama's voice...
Mukuro-sama, where are you?
What a sweet voice.
But Mukuro won't come.
If he could, he would've materialized in your body long before now.
Mukuro-sama...
No, I'm right here.
I've been right behind you this whole time.
Huh?
Huh? This is Mukuro?!
This is something of Mukuro's.
During Hibari's stay in Italy,
he sensed someone watching him several times. He's sure of it.
Luckily, we were able to take just one picture with our cameras.
But...
This is...
Believing this is Mukuro, we've given it a codename.
So how would you like to be cooked?
Mukurowl?
It's Mukuro's owl, so...
Mukurowl?
Yes.
That's another crazy name.
Mukurowl...
What's wrong? Too scared to talk?
Six
Well then, let's go, Chrome.
What are you looking at?
I see.
So you've taken interest in my Box Weapon, Gufo di Pioggia?
I don't blame you.
Its majestic figure, adorned by exquisite blue flames,
What?! Impossible!
Its color has turned to indigo!
Chrome, go up now.
Right!
I won't let you get away!
Just what is...
Damn you!
That number six in your eye...
So you're Mukuro Rokudo?
I must respect the speed at which you assessed the situation,
Six
Glo Xinia.
Mukuro Rokudo.
This is absolutely ludicrous.
I knew of his ability to possess things,
but for him to overtake my Box Weapon without a trigger...
Can it be... during that last battle...
That's right. I put your Rain Owl to use.
I've never heard of anyone possessing a Box Weapon!
Well, what's done is done.
Or maybe I should just call it a dream.
Damn you!
Is that girl so precious to you?
Well, dining on this lovely lady
while you watch is just perfect, wouldn't you agree?
She just gets tastier by the minute, you know?
He regained his cool quite quickly.
No wonder he's one of the Millefiore's six Funeral Wreaths.
Listen up, Chrome.
Mukuro-sama?
For some reason, I can't use too much power.
I don't think I'll be able to get you away from Glo Xinia.
You'll have to defeat him.
Okay...
You'll be fine.
You have the Vongola Ring.
Vongola Ring?
It's melting...
That Mist Ring will lend its strength to you.
Future Arc
Ciao-su.
It's been a while, so we're going to recap everything here.
We'll start with our enemy, the Millefiore Family.
Byakuran's personal units, which don't exist in our time,
include Squads 0 through 17.
Their defining characteristic is that they're split into the White and Black Spell groups.
Apparently, this girl Yuni is the head of Black Spell.
Also, White Spell's 2nd Squad captain,
Shoichi Irie, holds the key to sending us back to the past.
When he was a kid, he was a bookworm who did nothing but study.
Now, he's a hardworking researcher.
He's been left in charge of the Japan branch's experiments;
a promising member whom Byakuran greatly trusts.
Sometimes, though, I heard he snaps.
Oh, where have we seen these guys before?
They're the Cervello we first met during the Varia fights.
Why are they with him?
That's a mystery even I haven't solved.
Anyway, Black Spell's 3rd Squad captain,
Nosaru and Tazaru's boss, is Lightning Gamma.
The Elettro Volpi,
electrically-charged foxes,
is Gamma's super-strong Box Weapon.
Gokudera and Yamamoto went through a world of pain too.
This time, we encountered the man who attacked Chrome Dokuro,
White Spell's 8th Squad captain, Glo Xinia.
He's one of the Millefiore's six Funeral Wreaths
and is the tough guy who is rumored to have defeated Mukuro.
He uses a whip and an owl with rain-class flames.
But then, on the Vongola end, they gained a powerful ally.
The Vongola Guardian of the Cloud Ring, the adult Hibari.
Of course, Hibari's powered-up a lot in ten years.
Even the tonfas he's so good with have become one of the Box Weapons.
The other Box Weapon he uses is Porcospino Nuvola.
It's a cloud-class hedgehog.
It's quite strong too.
He brought down the mighty Gamma with this.
But Hibari isn't the only one on our side.
We also have grown-up Bianchi and Futa too.
Bianchi still loves me, even after ten years.
Her ring uses storm-class flames, like her kid brother Gokudera.
Futa's grown a lot. He's taller than Tsuna now.
In place in of his old Book of Rankings, he carries an attaché case.
Oh, you think there are some new faces we haven't met yet?
Well, I hope you're looking forward to that.
In any event, we'll have to fight for it now.
Everyone has to fight like their lives depend on it.
See you later.
Next time:
What You Believe In.
