I used the back of my sword.
Let's stop this.
Offensive Stance 3.
Last Minute Rain.
It's foolish to show mercy to your foes.
A battle of swords only ends when one of us has been cut down.
This guy's...
I like the look you have in your eyes now.
That's how a swordsman should be.
A sword exists only for the sake of cutting down your foes.
The same can be said of its wielder.
A man whose only worth is to defeat his foes.
That'd just be a monster!
Yes, a monster.
You must become a monster like me, or you can't win.
Lambo! You okay?!
Hold...it...in...no more!
Sorry...
Your life is forfeit if you're going to shoulder that burden.
As well as the life of your precious sister.
Will you protect the Guardian of the Lightning Ring?
Or save your sister?
Now, what will your choice be, Guardian of the Sun Ring?
I'll...
I'll save both of them!
Gokudera-kun!
At this rate, they'll...
I have to do this!
A wise decision.
Your only choice is to defeat the enemies before you.
Now, show me how strong your resolve is.
Target 187 Memories of Betrayal
I am pleased by your unbridled rage.
What is the matter?
Don't you hate me?
Take your rage out on me.
What?
Any person who stands in your way is an enemy.
And enemies must be completely crushed.
That would be the real Vongola mafia boss.
I...
You're wrong!
The boss would never do such a thing!
He's generous enough to accept both friend and foe!
How nice to see you again.
I have returned...
from the depths of Paths of Rebirth.
Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Did you finally mature a bit?
In ten days, you'd better prove that the Vongola are the strongest.
And that's why we stand by our boss!
I see that a soft boss attracts soft Guardians.
I said that I wouldn't deem you worthy of succeeding the Vongola.
Bastard, stop spouting your crap...
Damn it!
I shall have you shed that soft nature now.
Or else I will be forced to eliminate you.
As I did to Primo back then.
What?!
Boss!
Bah!
You sure about staying out of this?
Hey, Primo!
Why, Daemon?
Why would you do this?
Why do you ask?
You should already know the answer.
Along with my plans and my true desires...
Primo, you don't need to be upset about what happened.
He was marching to a different beat from the very beginning.
But Daemon is one of my Guardians.
Daemon's time may have also stopped back then...
Just like this watch.
Tsunayoshi Sawada...
No good. It's really hard.
Never give up.
I'll give it a try too.
Eek... It didn't work...
I feel like it's getting even harder to breathe.
Now that you mention it...
Is everybody okay?
Yes, I can tough it out!
I-Pin too!
I'm sorry...
It's all my fault.
Because I was controlled...
Don't say that! It's not your fault.
That's right! We should blame the mean person who would take control of a girl!
I'm sorry...
It'll be fine.
I'm sure that Sawada-san and everybody else will come save us.
That's right!
Tsuna-san will definitely come for us!
We just have to hold on until then.
It's getting even more difficult to breathe.
Same here...
Eek? All of a sudden...
It's easier to breathe.
Ah.
Yuni-chan?
I can use my power to protect you for a short time.
Really?
But I can't keep this up very long.
Yuni-chan, don't push yourself too hard.
Chrome-chan!
This is my fault...
So I have to save everyone.
Huh? But how?
The dome is really hard.
We can't just use force.
This barrier is an illusion created by the first-generation Guardian of the Mist Ring.
We need a willpower stronger than his to break the illusion.
Mukuro-sama...
I'm always relying on Mukuro-sama...
But right now, I want to become stronger so I can save everyone!
Still, Daemon did a good job of making Kokuyo Land disappear.
Tsuna, Yuni, hold on.
Once the Arcobaleno are assembled, we can help.
Once we find the remaining members, we'll be on our way.
I need you to hurry, Colonnello, Fong.
I know that you're around, Mammon!
We don't have time, maggot!
If you aren't going to show yourself, I'll blast you to smithereens!
Honestly, you're always so violent.
That's because you deserted us in the middle of a battle, maggot!
That's slander.
I simply refuse to work when there isn't money involved.
You're just using that as an excuse to run away!
Do you truly believe that I would lose to that illusionist?
He may be the first-generation Guardian of the Mist Ring,
but he's no match for me.
Then prove it, maggot!
I suppose I don't have a choice.
I-Pin, it'll only be a little longer.
Good grief.
Just as I thought.
I figured that you might be observing from a nearby location.
Very perceptive of you.
The stealth mechanism on my machine was supposed to be flawless.
Verde, if you wish to observe,
couldn't you come closer for a better view?
If you intend to force me to do something menial, I refuse.
But if you come now, you will be able to partake in a very fascinating experience.
Namimori Middle School
Why do I have to do this?
I should just ditch and run...
No, no, no!
This is my duty as an Arcobaleno!
Ah!
I-I have to do this...
I will need you to become a monster.
I knew it.
I suppose that I should be impressed.
But you are simply avoiding my attacks.
Is your sword a mere decoration?
I don't believe that defeating you here will be a victory.
There is no need to ask an attacking foe for a reason to fight.
A sword exists for the sake of cutting down your enemies.
Otherwise, it is but a lump of iron.
You've got that wrong.
This is my old man's soul.
And my soul, as well!
That's why I have no intention of using this blade
for something that goes against our ideals!
Then you shall be obliterated like dewdrops against my blade.
I doubt that's going to happen.
I'm having an easy time guessing your next move
since you can't control your blood thirst.
I don't plan on fighting you,
but I'm busting out of here.
Takeshi Yamamoto...
I'll show you that I can save the girls and Lambo!
What is the point in making that child a Guardian?
There is no need to create an extra burden.
Stay away!
Do you believe you can defeat me while carrying the extra burden?
Now hurry.
Abandon that dead weight.
I refuse!
He's one of us!
Turf top!
Then I will simply defeat both of you together.
I won't lose, to the extreme!
Not before I save Kyoko!
You too, Ryohei Sasagawa?
Yuni-chan... Chrome-chan...
Hang in there.
It's getting hard...
To breathe again...
I-Pin hurts...
Yuni-chan!
Are you okay?
I-I'm sorry... I can't...
A little longer... Just a little longer...
Boss...
The same thing you did to Primo?
In the mafia world, they believe that Secondo forcibly took control from Primo,
driving him to Japan in the process...
But that's not how it really happened.
I was the one who wanted Primo to step down as the Vongola.
What's that?!
Weren't you one of Primo's Guardians?
Why would you...?
Primo couldn't overcome his soft nature, same as you.
That was why!
The history of the Vongola is littered with conflict.
It grew strong by crushing other Families.
The Vongola Family you created has become greater than you ever could have dreamed.
And we should accelerate this process.
What I'm trying to say is that
you aren't fit to rule the current Vongola.
What's that?!
G.
You must crush your enemies in a display of total dominance!
The weak have no right to live!
Abandon your own friends if that's what it takes to win!
You don't need to feel emotion.
Boss!
Operation X.
Roger that, boss.
You're rather tough.
He's also using X BURNER!
X BUR-
No, I can't fire...
Like I said.
You're too soft.
X BURNER.
Oh.
I brought him.
Sorry about the wait, maggots!
Well done.
And it looks like Skull managed to succeed too.
R-Reborn!
I did as you said!
So save me!
Okay, let's do this.
You're gonna ignore me?!
Eek?
Uncle Reborn...
What are you doing?
When you fail, you make me look bad as your tutor.
Look, there's a crack here now.
Stop wasting time and break this weak illusion.
Boss!
What?!
Th-This is Primo's...
Deathperation Point Zero: First Edition.
You possess so much power, yet you reject the idea of ruling by strength.
I do not understand.
It's true that the history of the Vongola may be stained by blood.
And yet you still wish to inherit the tradition, do you not?
I want the power to protect my friends.
The power to create a future where I can laugh with my friends.
Boss...
If I can't do that, then I don't need the inheritance.
If that's the Vongola tradition, I'll destroy it myself!
I thought I'd be willing to do anything to protect everyone...
But if this is what it means...
I don't need this power!
If it means inheriting their sins, I'll...
I'll destroy the Vongola!
That's right.
I have witnessed Decimo's resolve.
That is why he will be able to walk a path different from mine.
Are you capable of such a feat?
I'll do it.
How? When you can't even escape this illusionary space?
I'm not alone.
Y-You guys...
Hibari went on a rampage and tore through the illusionary space.
Looks like everybody's safe.
Lambo-san managed to escape!
I didn't expect my illusion to be broken...
You did it, Chrome-chan!
Ah, Chrome-chan!
I'm fine...
Kyoko!
Huh?
Ryohei! Tsuna-kun!
Are you hurt, Kyoko?!
Nope.
We believed in them!
And they came to save us!
Everybody's here now.
Reborn... And everybody else...
Yuni, you helped guide us through the illusion.
It was a big help.
No, Uncle.
It was thanks to everybody.
Th-That's right!
It's all because I brought Hibari from Nami Middle.
How dare you take one of my possessions...
I'll bite you to death!
I-I was just doing what Reborn told me to do!
Take your complaints to him!
This won't do.
I hadn't planned for such a development.
You've already lost!
Pass on your inheritance!
It appears that I underestimated you a little.
I will have to get serious about this too.
What?
Monster Tamer Tsuna!
Tsuna and Elder Rebo set out on a journey to
recruit monsters for the sake of defeating Blood-sucking Hibarin.
They've assembled a party of monsters,
and it's almost time to face Hibarin.
Can we really win?
It'll work out.
I'll help fight!
You are a descendant of the legendary monster tamers.
You'll be fine.
No, it's hopeless.
Huh?
I am the true monster tamer.
Weredog Mummy Monster Tamer Golem KEN CHROME MUKURO KAKIPI
And these are my monster minions.
A whole bunch of weirdos!
We will be the ones to defeat Hibarin.
Huh?!
What are you saying?!
We're going to defeat Hibarin!
Oh. But wait.
It'll be great if you fight Hibarin instead of me.
All right! We'll let them handle this.
No.
Huh?
It's your duty to defeat Hibarin.
Huh? B-But...
Then we shall decide through a battle.
Huh?!
To be continued.
You can expect a magnificent performance next week.
Next Episode
Does Daemon intend to keep fighting?
He's really persistent.
Tsuna and Daemon will be going one-on-one now.
The Guardians and I can only watch as Tsuna fights.
Show him the true mettle of the Vongola X Family, Tsuna.
Next time on Reborn:
Primo's Will.
Watch like your life depends on it.
See you next time!
