Scontro di Rondine.
You pass.
Okay. SISTEMA C.A.I is almost complete.
All that's left is to figure out
how to explain this thing to the boss.
Use soft flames as support...
And hard flames to...
Fire!
Ciao-su.
After being sent ten years into the future,
we made our move to return to the past.
Open it, Giannini!
Let's go!
We're after Shoichi Irie, who's in Merone Base.
He has to be the key to this entire mess.
But this isn't an easy task.
Lal Mirch was left incapacitated after her battle with the Magician's Doll, Ginger Bread.
And...
I'll end this.
X BURNER: Air!
Tsuna, after defeating a difficult opponent, King Moska, fell into enemy hands.
And then...
The floor...!
Whoa!
Yamamoto!
No!
Grab my hand, Yamamoto!
Gokudera!
Everybody was separated after Merone Base's shuffling...
Gokudera and Ryohei, Yamamoto and Lal Mirch...
Now is the time to show off the fruits of your training.
It's do or die.
Take this!
Flame Arrow!
Oh? You've improved.
However...
The Storm disassemble factor won't be able to break through my barrier.
Lightning is the toughest element of all.
Wha-?
He's piercing through my barrier...
That's impossible.
He was also able to repel my lightning shield, Electric Tower...
What's going on here?
You won't get away!
I'm not trying to run.
You'll see.
These flames aren't ordinary Storm Flames...
That was close.
I can't stand ambiguity.
But now I know.
To be honest, I'm very surprised.
What would you know?
I allowed myself to be injured by a fool like you.
There was a reason for it.
I didn't expect you to use Storm and Rain Flames at the same time...
Or to be correct, you coated the surface of your Storm Flames with Rain Flames.
I've never heard of anyone fusing two classes of Flames together
and firing them at the same time.
If I was able to shock you, the effort was worth it.
It took an obscene amount of thinking to make this SISTEMA C.A.I. work.
SISTEMA C.A.I.?
That's the name you've given to this Innocenti original?
That's right.
The usage of flames besides Storm flames was the key to solving SISTEMA C.A.I...
Target 115 SISTEMA C.A.I.
She has stabilized, huh?
Yep.
I was getting pretty worried for a moment there.
She's losing her organs!
Huh?
Chrome!
Get plenty of rest.
I'll be dropping by the A/V room.
Is something wrong, Big Bianchi?
I need to think about some things.
You're so useless when you're constantly collapsing.
Sheesh.
You'd better not die here.
Ken... Chikusa...
You suck.
Let's go.
Wait... Don't go...
Please wait!
Mukuro-sama...
Where are you?
I have to wake up... I have to wake up...
I have to wake up!
Over here! This way!
Lambo, are you sure?
There's an intruder?
I'm sure of it!
There was somebody suspicious!
Found ya!
Lambo-san, the greatest hitman in the universe, will take you down!
Shh! Quiet, Lambo!
Die!
How many times must I defeat you?
Captain Nicola.
What's the situation here?
What's taking you so long?!
You're letting one person throw you around?
Finish him already!
All right, I'll end this now.
Yuni-sama...
I've brought your tea.
It's very quiet.
The weather is so lovely.
B-But...
How do you intend to help me perfect the X BURNER?
It's not difficult.
You simply need to correct the X BURNER's form.
To correct the X BURNER's form myself?
Yep.
What do you mean?
You'll be equipped with a contact display.
Contact?
A contact lens display unit will be applied directly to your eyeballs.
In the future, this technology will probably be used for hands-free TV watching,
but the compact size makes it excellent for combat.
But how is that related to perfecting the X BURNER?
The X BURNER is unstable because your flames aren't balanced laterally.
In your case, the display will be connected
to your gloves to allow you to see the amount of flame pressure being generated.
The direction of energy in the left and right gloves...
In other words, if you fire when the right and left arrows on the display are matching,
X BURNER will stay straight.
Huh? That's it?
Simple, right?
It's undeniably difficult to balance the two sides by intuition.
I'd say it's a simple but good idea to see them objectively.
Yeah?
I'm against it!
You can't trust a Millefiore technician!
What if something happens to the boss?!
Giannini...
I cannot give my approval!
That is my responsibility as the Vongola technological advisor!
When did he promote himself to the technological advisor...?
Besides, we don't have enough data.
There's no guarantee that the contacts will be safe-
You're being annoying.
Keep it down.
I appreciate the concern...
No, there's nothing to worry about.
This display has already been used in Box Weapons.
It's a reliable technology.
Vongola X, Tsunayoshi Sawada,
is missing after being defeated by Spanner and his Moskas.
The Guardian of the Rain Ring, Takeshi Yamamoto,
was slightly injured in the battle with the Arachide brothers.
The Guardian of the Sun Ring, Ryohei Sasagawa, is incapacitated.
Gamma, the one who defeated Sasagawa,
is currently battling the Guardian of the Storm Ring, Hayato Gokudera.
There have been no significant deviations from my calculations.
At this rate, it's only a matter of time before the Vongola are destroyed.
Realizing that I could use other flames besides Storm flames
was the key to solving SISTEMA C.A.I.
SISTEMA C.A.I. contains sixteen boxes.
I'll have to open them up.
It's open!
Ow...
Wh-What?
A-A cat?
Damn... I don't get it.
I could only open four boxes.
And nothing happens when I inject flames into the weapons inside.
And one of them had a completely useless cat.
Hey! Don't sharpen your claws there!
What's with the attitude?!
No, no.
I don't have time to waste on a cat.
Besides, what does the C.A.I. in SISTEMA C.A.I. even stand for?
Listen closely.
The boxes were based on 343 blueprints left by 4th-century biologist Geppetto Lorenzini,
who wondered if it would be possible to create weapons from what was in nature.
However, his designs were too highly-advanced.
In other words, they couldn't be created with the technology available at the time.
His abstract theories were ignored for a long time, obviously.
After Geppetto died, the blueprints were treated as scraps of paper
in the warehouse of the secret organization he belonged to.
Until the appearance of three inventors.
Three inventors?
Yes.
Innocenti, Koenig, and Verde.
They all belonged to the same organization.
Verde?
You mean that Arcobaleno?
Yes.
They realized that the flames from the legendary Mafia rings.
would be the best source of energy for the boxes.
After overcoming many technical barriers, they completed a prototype after a mere five years.
And as they created the original 343 boxes based on animals,
they also invented new types of boxes.
Boxes used for storage,
tools, or weapons were also developed.
Damn, I don't get it...
The future version of me was able to understand this?
I won't be able to beat Yamamoto at this rate...
Much less help the boss... I might even be holding him back...
Hey, damn it!
Don't play with the weapons!
They're not toys!
Don't hiss at me!
Damn it!
Bastard!
Damn it... A waste of energy...
Crap! It's broken!
Seriously...
I was panicking...
Don't get so carried away by your emotions.
Planning to fail again, like when you fought Gamma?
Go ahead and hate me.
It's only natural to feel that way.
Unlike you, I am the daughter of Father and his real wife.
He's weak.
He's gone.
I said, He ran away from the training!
Hayato...
I was finally able to find the secret behind the SISTEMA C.A.I. the future me completed.
Where does this part go?
It looks like a ring...
A ring?
It's faint, but this is a Rain flame.
Are there Rain waves in me?
In that case...
It opened!
And this one!
The Rain Ring opened another three boxes.
But the weapons still aren't responding.
And there are still nine boxes that I can't open...
Don't tell me that there's another ring in here?
There it is.
Here I go!
That weapon seems to be specialized for medium-ranged attacks.
But I know the trick now, so do you think I'll be easy to hit?
Beats me!
Coated by Rain again?
I should probably move.
What is this irregular acceleration?
This incredible flame pressure...
There are Sun flames mixed in!
This is bad!
It would have been simple if Storm and Rain were the only elements involved.
Hayato...
You're not weak.
I know your true strength.
Your time spent in solitude made you stronger.
It meant that you would stand up every time you were knocked down...
for the sake of an ally you'd opened up to.
SISTEMA C.A.I. is a puzzle that can only be fully utilized
when you open the boxes of multiple classes in the correct order!
And the five classes of waves...
The five classes of waves needed to use this
flow through my body.
Ta-da!
It's another episode of the increasingly exciting "Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews!"
Aren't you sick of this yet?
Huh?
You're still gonna do this?
I-I haven't gotten sick of this at all!
A-Anyway, today's guest is the bitter beauty, Lal Mirch-san!
You look the way you did as a baby when you're super-deformed.
I was just a failed Arcobaleno.
Now then...
I have a question.
Huh?
If you're doing interviews year-round, why is this segment
called the Haru(spring)-Haru(spring) Interview Corner?
That's not what the title means!
It's Haru as in Haru!
So it's Haru(spring) even when it's fall or winter?
It doesn't matter if it's spring or summer!
This is Haru's Haru-Haru-Haru Interviews!
You're being annoying.
And there's an extra Haru in there.
I'll start asking questions now.
What word would you choose to best represent Tsuna-san?
Weak
Weak.
W-Weak, you say?
He's always quick to whine.
That's when you give him a good, hard slapping.
Yeah.
Thirteen in a row!
Eek! That sounds painful...
I heard you were an instructor in the Italian special force of Omsubin.
It's Comsubin, not Omsubin(riceball).
Wh-What kind of things did you teach in Comsubin?
Let's see...
First was how to make explosives.
Then marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat, survival skills...
How to sneak around without making any sound...
How to sound nice...
Eek! That sounds really destructive!
And assassina-
We can't show any more, for the sake of the good little boys and girls out there.
That's all for the good little boys and girls' "Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews!"
We'll see you again next time!
Next time:
Difference in Resolve.
