Escaping, huh?
For you to show your back to me at the very end...
You've chosen a shameful death.
I overestimated you!
A hologram.
Tsuna, I bought you your second.
The hologram was a decoy?
Flame pressure in left burner rising.
25,000...
30,000 FV.
Vongola...
How dare you trick me...
Gauge Symmetry.
Standby for launch.
Only 30,000?
The flame pressure's too weak.
I won't let you fire!
X BURNER!
In that case...
Cut!
You were manipulated by your data.
You were so wary of the X BURNER...
that you didn't split your blade, and focused all your strength into one point.
I can read that.
So it wasn't just the hologram...
The X BURNER was also part of his set-up.
That stance...
Zero Point Breakthrough Revised: Blade Grasp!
So those eyes...
It's too late.
The flames are being sucked in...
Now I can fight seriously.
You make it sound as if you haven't been using your full strength.
That's right.
Damn you!
The Vongola becomes stronger as he fights...
Indeed.
But something's wrong.
The Phantom Knight's movements feel dead.
No matter how strong Tsuna becomes,
there shouldn't be this much of a gap.
Those eyes...
Those eyes bring back such wretched memories...
And paralyze me...
Target 134 Hell Knight
Those eyes... Those eyes...
This is a present from Sho-chan in Japan.
It's mame daifuku.
It's sweet and delicious, but the way the crumbs fall is annoying.
So you're saying you'll abandon the Giglionero Family?
In that case...
I want a gift, as proof.
Since you've promised to do anything after swearing fealty to me,
I want you to bring me the seven Mare Rings and the boss's Sky Pacifier.
You're telling me to destroy the Giglionero Family?
Phanny, the Family trusts you, do they not?
If you use an illusion to make it look like you're hurt,
everyone around you will become worried,
and that's when you'll annihilate them.
Understood.
I challenged the Varia's Squalo.
Hey!
Phantom Knight from the Giglionero!
The next one will end your life!
Of course, I wasn't really trying.
I was merely making it seem as if I'd fought and lost.
Phantom was beaten up!
Bring a stretcher, quick!
Those are serious injuries...
Phantom Knight!
What's wrong?!
How could a man like you be hurt like this?
Phantom Knight!
Princess...
Forgive me...
Don't talk.
You'll make your injuries worse.
Besides, I know how you feel.
I wasn't shaken by the fact that she could read my mind.
I was overwhelmed by that anguished, resolute look.
Those eyes were why I couldn't carry out Byakuran-sama's command.
His divine revelation...
I cannot allow another such disgrace.
Those eyes...
I must overcome those eyes and defeat him...
Or else...
Or else I can never swear true fealty to Byakuran-sama!
Wh-What is this?!
What's happening?
The sensors in the comm-link are indicating an abnormal power spike!
Calm down, Giannini.
It's about to take form.
He fed his own soul to the Hell Ring?
The Phantom Knight's significantly large power has been multiplied...
Is that an illusion too?
I sure hope so...
This is no illusion.
It's the form taken after the Hell Ring has amplified his combat abilities.
The Hell Ring was used to grant great power to its user through a pact,
before the Deathperation flame was even discovered.
Only six cursed Mist-type Rings exist in this world.
Those who possess that fearsome power are said to become...
many times stronger in combat.
And the pact required to draw out that power, is a pact with hell itself.
In other words...
You feed your own soul to the Hell Ring.
It's said that some of the users lost their reason...
and became completely different people.
There's a rumor that this ring turned a gentle ruler into a brutal tyrant.
But why would the Phantom Knight go to such lengths?
Is Tsunayoshi Sawada strong enough to push him that far?
Don't be ridiculous.
Tsunayoshi Sawada is just a child.
I no longer have any weaknesses.
Come.
I shall send you to the depths of hell!
You're not capable of that, monster.
You've got gall, boy.
But you'll be singing a different tune soon enough!
What?!
What an incredible fight...
I knew it. You're not stronger.
What?!
Your strength came from your sharp senses...
and the calm judgment to avoid unnecessary movements.
Now that you've lost your cool, you don't scare me.
You thought this was my power after being amplified by the Hell Ring?!
I have yet to reveal my true strength!
Wh-What is he going to do?
What is this sensation?
I'm getting goosebumps.
This is bad...
I don't know what's coming,
but I get the feeling the Phantom Knight's about to do something a human shouldn't.
Splitting forms, huh?
Tsuna...
Huh?
Tsuna...
What...
This is...
Th-This is...
What are you...
Boss...
Boss!
What is this...
Snap out of it, Tsuna.
Those are illusions.
I know.
Hold on!
Are you sure you should be destroying those?
Those illusions are linked to the lives of your actual Guardians!
What?!
Lambo and I-Pin!
G-Guys, stop this!
He's bluffing...
At least I hope.
But since we can't reach the Guardians, we have no proof that he is.
We can't make a move.
Stop this.
Let go, everyone.
Tsuna...
Boss!
Boss...
There's no point in talking to them.
They're restraining you with that unnatural strength against their will!
You won't be able to shake them off unless you destroy them!
Will you take out your own Family?!
For the Phantom Knight to resort to such a cowardly tactic...
The Hell Ring is dreadful indeed.
Or is that the true nature of the Phantom Knight?
Sawada-san...
Sawada...
Vongola!
What a lovely sight!
How does it feel to be taken out by the very comrades you so trusted?
I wanted to take them out back then as well...
I wanted to crush them all!
What is he talking about?
Now perish!
It's over, Vongola!
Phantom Knight...
You alone...
You alone I can never forgive!
Huh? What did you say?!
Did you say you can never forgive me?!
Look at the situation you're in!
There's nothing for you to forgive!
You're being sent to the depths of hell by your own comrades!
He's going to lose!
But he can't make a move like this.
Die!
I-Pin... Lambo...
No more tears, you just have to move.
Okay?
What?!
Could everybody let go now?
Im-Impossible!
The illusions infused with Mist flames are moving against my will?!
What's going on?
I see.
Huh?
Look closely at their hands.
They're frozen.
That's...
The legendary technique developed by the first Vongola boss...
Deathperate Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition!
I see!
If the illusions are made using Deathperation flames, they can be frozen!
And if their hands are frozen, they can't hold on to Tsuna.
Also, he seems to have bought enough time.
Target lock.
Flame pressure in right burner rising again.
The flames are in reverse thrust!
That technique again...
230,000...
240,000...
Still rising.
Entering red zone.
Over 200,000?!
It can't be...
He's passed his supposed maximum!
Flame pressure in left burner rising again.
Give me everything you've got, Phantom Knight!
Damn you...
A little upstart shouldn't be talking so big!
Left burner.
230,000...
240,000...
Entering red zone.
Will the contacts be able to handle this?
Our first question should be if the Vongola boy's body...
can handle all that flame pressure...
Gauge Symmetry.
Standby for launch.
Let's go, Phantom Knight.
Hey!
It's another episode of everyone's favorite "Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews!"
Today's guest is...
Lal Mirch-san!
Eek?!
Lal-san, where are you?
Up here.
Eek!
Wh-What are you doing?
I got bored waiting,
so I was working my abs.
Lal is always training her body, no matter the time or place.
That's right.
I must always be ready to defend myself.
U-Um...
That's nice and all, but could you come down now?
Yeah, sure.
A-A whoopie cushion?
Reborn.
Interested in seeing what heaven looks like, are you?
Aw, I couldn't help myself.
Lal's always oh-so-serious.
No sense of humor at all.
The cutesy act won't help you.
Aw, really?
Eek!
Wh-Why did Reborn-chan...
Eek!
I wanted to teach Lal about humor.
Reborn! Heaven's too good for you!
I'll send you straight to hell!
Huh?!
That's impossible.
Die, Reborn!
Stop it, you two!
You're going to destroy the set!
It's too dangerous to continue,
so that's all for today's "Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews!"
I'll see you all again next time!
Ciao-ciao.
Next time:
Arrival!
See you next time!
