08x189 - The Family's Resolve

[bunniefuu]

EpTitle: Target The Family's Resolve

Lal: I've returned them to you.

Yuni: Thank you very much.

Lal: I didn't do anything to warrant your gratitude.

Lal: I have no idea how much time you spent in the past,

Lal: but it hasn't been that long for me.

Lal: So? Did it work?

Reborn: Just hold on for a bit.

Reborn: I'll start from the beginning.

Reborn: I went back to the past first

Reborn: to assemble the Arcobaleno so they could tutor Tsuna and the others.

Reborn: The Guardian of the Storm Ring, Gokudera,

Reborn: gets the Storm Arcobaleno, Fong.

Reborn: The Guardian of the Rain Ring, Yamamoto,

Reborn: gets the Rain Arcobaleno, Colonnello.

Reborn: The Guardian of the Cloud Ring, Hibari,

Reborn: gets the Cloud Arcobaleno, Skull.

Reborn: The Guardian of the Mist Ring, Chrome,

Reborn: gets the Mist Arcobaleno, Mammon.

Reborn: The Guardian of the Sun Ring, Ryohei,

Reborn: gets me.

Reborn: And then Yuni summoned the will of Vongola Primo

Reborn: which was resting within the Vongola Ring.

Reborn: It was an unprecedented and risky gamble.

Primo: If the first-generation Vongola Family

Primo: accepts you as the true boss and true Guardians,

Primo: you will be able to inherit the power of the Vongola.

Primo: Are you able to embody the duty of a Guardian?

Primo: Do you have the resolve?

Primo: Everything rests on that.

Lal: So the first-generation Guardians tested Sawada's group to see

: if they could be accepted as the true boss and true Guardians?

Reborn: That's right.

Reborn: The first test was for the Guardian of the Rain Ring, Yamamoto.

Ugetsu: I apologize for the wait.

Ugetsu: I shall test you to determine if you are worthy of inheriting

Ugetsu: my power as the Guardian of the Rain Ring.

Yamamoto: So what do I need to do?

Ugetsu: It is very simple.

Ugetsu: I wish for you to show me your resolve as a Guardian.

Yamamoto: A real fight?

Yamamoto: That's more like it.

Yamamoto: Kojiro! Cambio Forma!

Yamamoto: I'm going to defeat you!

Yamamoto: And be deemed worthy of your inheritance!

Ugetsu: Defeat?

Ugetsu: Why is this man in such a hurry?

Yamamoto: Shigure Soen Ryu.

Yamamoto: Offensive Stance .

Yamamoto: Battering Rain!

Yamamoto: Offensive Stance .

Yamamoto: Last Minute Rain!

Yamamoto: Not over yet!

Ugetsu: Is that your resolve?

Ugetsu: In that case...

Ugetsu: Kuzuryu Riverflow!

Yamamoto: There!

Yamamoto: If I aim for his back...

Yamamoto: Then I'll win!

Col: Stop, Yamamoto!

Yamamoto: Colonnello?!

Col: Damn, I was too late?

Ugetsu: You fail.

Yamamoto: I failed...

Yamamoto: Why?

Reborn: Yamamoto almost failed his test because he lost his cool.

Lal: Why wasn't Colonnello doing his job?!

Reborn: Don't worry.

Reborn: He was given a chance to retake his test the next day.

Ugetsu: That will do.

Yamamoto: Why?

Yamamoto: I wasn't worthy of your true strength?

Ugetsu: After all, I never said that we would be fighting.

Ugetsu: But I truly enjoyed our exchange today.

Ugetsu: I could feel your honest feelings.

Yamamoto: I had a lot of fun experiencing

Yamamoto: how strong you were every time we crossed swords.

Ugetsu: Takeshi Yamamoto.

Ugetsu: I deem you worthy of my inheritance.

Ugetsu: I can entrust you with the position of Guardian of the Rain Ring.

Ugetsu: I now offer my power to aid you in guarding Vongola X.

Reborn: The next test came from the first-generation

Reborn: Guardian of the Lightning Ring, Lampo.

Reborn: Lambo was up this time.

Lal: Did Verde actually tutor him?

Reborn: Well, just listen.

Reborn: Verde made a huge mess as he tried to collect data

Reborn: on why Lambo was able to resist lightning.

Gokudera: What?

Tsuna: Lambo!

Tsuna: Stop the go-kart and get out!

Gokudera: Now! Hurry!

Yamamoto: Got it!

Yamamoto: We're good!

Gokudera: Okay!

Tsuna: Okay! We're here!

Lambo: Stay back! Stay back!

Tsuna: Lambo!

Verde: I'll be taking the Guardian of the Lightning Ring.

Tsuna: I-In that case...

Tsuna: Crap!

Verde: Now, I will be taking your horns!

Verde: This is...

Verde: I see!

Verde: Those horns have been storing the electrical charge I used on him!

Tsuna: Ow...

Tsuna: L-Lampo!

Lampo: Though it appears that he's being targeted by someone.

Lampo: The Guardian of the Lightning Ring

Lampo: draws damage to himself and away from the rest of the Family,

Lampo: serving as a lightning rod.

Lampo: And I also witnessed his discharge of a furious bolt of lightning.

Lampo: I deem him worthy of my inheritance as Guardian of the Lightning Ring.

Tsuna: Huh?

Reborn: So it all worked out in the end.

Reborn: The third test came

Reborn: from the first-generation Guardian of the Storm Ring, G.

Reborn: G transformed himself into Gokudera

Reborn: and played the role of a perfect right hand man.

G: We'll start with this problem.

G: Do you know which formula to use here?

Tsuna: Huh?

Tsuna: No, I don't even know that.

G: Then let's establish what you do know.

G: Boss!

Tsuna: Huh?

Guy: Whoa!

Guy: For real?

G: You're the best, boss.

G: Boss!

A: Gokudera!

B: Even you won't have a chance against all of us!

A: Get him!

Tsuna: He took them all out in an instant.

Gokudera: I see.

Gokudera: I would expect no less

Gokudera: from the first-generation Guardian of the Storm Ring.

Tsuna: Gokudera-kun?!

Tsuna: That means this guy is...

Gokudera: You've finally shown yourself,

Gokudera: first-generation Guardian of the Storm Ring, G!

G: Decimo...

G: How did you feel about my performance

G: as your right hand man today?

: Huh?

Tsuna: Th-That's, well...

Tsuna: You were helpful and reliable...

G: Consider what a right hand man should do before acting.

G: This only shows that he failed to do so.

G: Return your Vongola Ring to Decimo.

G: And go back to Italy.

Tsuna: I can't let that happen!

Tsuna: Gokudera-kun is an important friend of mine!

Tsuna: You can't just tell him to leave!

Gokudera: Boss...

Primo: Decimo...

Gokudera: Boss...

Tsuna: Huh?

Gokudera: I vow to protect you, even if I don't get the inheritance.

Gokudera: G, this is one point I refuse to yield,

Gokudera: regardless of whether you deem me worthy or not!

Gokudera: My resolve is firm!

Fong: Is that enough?

G: Bah.

Tsuna: Huh? Wh-What do you mean?

Fong: He wanted to see if there was an unbreakable bond between you.

G: That was the test.

G: You can't serve as a right hand man without the complete trust of the boss.

G: If your bond is firm, you can face whatever enemy may come.

G: I now bequeath the inheritance of the Guardian of the Storm Ring.

Lal: That brings us to the fourth one.

Reborn: Yeah, the Guardian of the Cloud Ring, Hibari, was up next...

Reborn: But Hibari refused to take the succession test.

Lal: Can't say that I'm surprised.

Lal: What about his tutor, Skull?

Lal: Was he any help at all?

Reborn: More or less.

Ryohei: Hibari, you can't turn your back on fate.

Hibari: If you're too persistent, I'll have to punish you.

Ryohei: Very well!

Ryohei: If words aren't going to be enough, I'll use my fists!

Skull: Hey, you hear me, Hibari?

Skull: This is an order from your tutor!

Skull: Undergo the succession test at once!

Skull: I'm so pissed off now!

Skull: Fire!

Skull: Fire, fire, fire!

Hibari: Annoying.

Ryohei: It's falling this way!

Ryohei: It's not stopping!

Ryohei: Take this!

Ryohei: Maximum Cannon!

A: Skull-sama!

Skull: I'm gonna get out of here!

Skull: Escape.

Ryohei: Okay!

Ryohei: Now I can focus on persuading Hibari to the extreme.

Ryohei: sh**t!

Haru: Eek!

Haru: Wh-What happened?

Kyoko: A hedgehog?

Haru: You saved us.

Skull: S-Stay away!

Skull: Don't come any closer!

Hibari: I'll bite you to death!

Skull: You've gotten better, Hibari!

Ryohei: Hey, Hibari!

Ryohei: Let's pick up where we left off!

Ryohei: We're going to fight it out to determine if you're gonna

Ryohei: take the succession test!

Hibari: That is no longer necessary.

Knuckle: I was shown the entire chain of events.

Knuckle: Your actions show you to be

Knuckle: a bright and shining sun that smashes adversity with your body!

Knuckle: I accept you as the Guardian of the Sun Ring, to the extreme.

Tsuna: Huh?

Alaude: An aloof cloud that guards the Family independently.

Alaude: You were able to refrain from fraternizing with the Family,

Alaude: while adapting to the situation and protecting these people.

Knuckle: Guardian of the Sun Ring for Vongola Decimo.

Ryohei: Yeah.

Alaude: Guardian of the Cloud Ring.

Both: I now bequeath your inheritance.

Lal: So Skull made himself somewhat useful.

Reborn: Yeah.

Lal: You've covered five.

Lal: That leaves two more.

Reborn: Yeah.

Reborn: But the Mist succession test was a little more complicated.

Lal: What do you mean?

Reborn: The first-generation Guardian of the Mist Ring, Daemon Spade,

Reborn: is said to have betrayed Vongola Primo.

Reborn: He took control of Chrome

Reborn: and lured Kyoko and the other girls into a trap.

Reborn: And then he took them as hostages.

Tsuna: Okay, let's go!

Gokudera: All right!

Kyoko: Chrome-chan!

Chrome: This is my fault...

Chrome: So I have to save everyone.

Daemon: You're rather tough.

Tsuna: X BUR-

Tsuna: No, I can't fire...

Daemon: Like I said.

Daemon: You're too soft.

Daemon: X BURNER.

Mammon: What are you doing?

Mammon: When you fail, you make me look bad as your tutor.

Mammon: Look, there's a crack here now.

Mammon: Stop wasting time and break this weak illusion.

Gokudera: Boss!

Daemon: Th-This is Primo's...

Tsuna: Deathperation Point Zero: First Edition.

Daemon: You possess so much power, yet you reject the idea of ruling by strength.

Daemon: I do not understand.

Tsuna: It's true that the history of the Vongola may be stained by blood.

Daemon: And yet you still wish to inherit the tradition, do you not?

Tsuna: I want the power to protect my friends.

Tsuna: The power to create a future where I can laugh with my friends.

Daemon: I didn't expect my illusion to be broken...

Kyoko: You did it, Chrome-chan!

Kyoko: Ah, Chrome-chan!

Chrome: I'm fine...

Reborn: Tsuna, his Guardians, and we Arcobaleno were finally able to reach Daemon.

Reborn: Everybody from Mammon to Yuni helped out.

Reborn: However...

Tsuna: Stop!

Daemon: You should have more power than that.

Daemon: What's taking you so long?

Daemon: I'm right here!

Tsuna: X BURNER!

Daemon: You're Decimo's Guardian of the Mist Ring.

Mukuro: I could deal with you directly,

Mukuro: but I suppose I'll let him handle this.

Tsuna: This is my resolve!

Tsuna: I'll never become the kind of person you want me to become!

Daemon: This could be a problem.

Mukuro: I won't let that happen.

Daemon: Th-The mist?

Tsuna: X BURNER.

Daemon: Th-This is the tenth-generation Vongola Family...

Tsuna: I know you're there.

Tsuna: Show yourself, Daemon.

Daemon: Good grief...

Daemon: Such noisy children.

Daemon: I no longer intend to fight.

Daemon: Anyway, I have a question for the Guardian of the Mist Ring.

Mukuro: I would prefer that you stop addressing me by that title.

Mukuro: I did not assume that role by choice.

Mukuro: Tsunayoshi Sawada is merely my target.

Daemon: I wonder how sincere you are.

Daemon: Befitting of the elusive quality of illusionary mist...

Daemon: I suppose I could deem you worthy

Daemon: of my inheritance, and observe as events unfold.

Mukuro: Inheritance?

Mukuro: I have no interest in that.

Tsuna: Chrome!

Both: Chrome-chan!

Daemon: So he's gone...

Daemon: A very fascinating man...

Tsuna: This is...!

Daemon: Primo.

Primo: Daemon.

Primo: I appreciate your help in evaluating the Guardian of the Mist Ring.

Daemon: There's no reason for you to thank me.

Daemon: I simply acted for the sake of my ideal Vongola.

Primo: However, you tested them and deemed them worthy.

Primo: You fulfilled your duty.

Daemon: I see that you haven't changed.

Daemon: You may resist as you like,

Daemon: but one day, you will realize that I am right.

Daemon: This power will serve useful when that time comes.

Reborn: That should cover everything.

Lal: Wait!

Lal: What about Sawada's test?!

Lal: In the end, his actions during the battle with Daemon and other tests

Lal: served as a test for Tsuna.

Primo: You have already fulfilled my expectations.

Primo: It appears that you're still hiding a wealth of potential.

Primo: I witnessed your resolve to protect your Family,

Primo: and I was impressed.

Primo: Tsunayoshi Sawada.

Primo: I deem you worthy as boss of the tenth-generation Vongola Family.

Reborn: And that brought an end to the succession tests.

Lal: I see.

Lal: So now we've obtained the power to attack Byakuran.

Reborn: Yeah.

Reborn: But I'm not sure if they can handle the real six Funeral Wreaths.

Yuni: I have faith in them.

Yuni: The strong bond shared by Sawada-san

Yuni: and his Guardians will surely defeat Byakuran.

Lal: You're right.

Reborn: The problem is when Byakuran is going to attack.

Reborn: You better get focused, Tsuna.

Caption: Monster Tamer Tsuna{\i}!{\i}

Reborn: Continued.

Mukuro: Ouch...

Tsuna: He screwed up.

Mukuro: In that case, Chrome the mummy, crush them!

Chrome: Yes, Mukuro-sama.

Kakipi: Chrome's brain is up on that branch.

Mukuro: What?!

Dokuro: I-I'm sorry, Mukuro-sama...

Caption: Chrome's Brain DOKURO-CHAN

Tsuna: She has a detachable brain too?!

Yamamoto: Just like me.

Reborn: Well, it seems that you're the only one left.

Mukuro: In that case, I'll have to use my last resort.

Tsuna: Wait, you're surrendering?!

Reborn: And so, it was determined that

Reborn: Tsuna's group would be the ones to slay Hibarin.

Reborn: To be continued.

Caption: Next Episode

Reborn: The tough battles are still ahead.

Reborn: We may have damaged the Flame Ring Teleportation System,

Reborn: but we didn't completely destroy it.

Reborn: Byakuran and his people could show up in Namimori at any time.

Reborn: And now they've finally launched their attack.

Reborn: Next time on Reborn:

Reborn: The Real Six Funeral Wreaths Attack!

Reborn: Watch like your life depends on it.

: See you next time!
