OMG so this means if say, Tsuna accepts being the 10th vongola boss next episode, that's the end of it?

I would have liked something along the lines of what happens when he's leading the mafia. But then again, I can't think of any other enemy that Tsuna might encounter in newer episodes. Really would have loved some action while he's the big boss. But oh well

[quote=malapo]Dropped it during the Acrobaleno arc. Could someone tell me what happened so far?[/quote]

Tsuna talked with the 7th Arcobaleno behind the dead guys. He was one of the previous Arcobaleno who somehow survived after his time being an Arcobaleno was up. He wanted to kill Checkerface, who oversees the rings and pacifiers, to prevent him from continuing the chain. The entire rainbow representatives battle was secretly to pick the team to become the next Arcobaleno and kill off the current ones. I forget why exactly...

Anyways, Tsuna refused to cooperate, decided to get everyone to team up to beat the dead dudes and the 7th baby who shoe-horned their way into the representatives battle without telling the other Arcobaleno what the purpose of the whole battle was, and ended up winning with plot armor as usual despite being at an extreme disadvantage. Checkerface showed up, explained the back story about how he and Yuni's ancestor were among some pre-human people or whatever, how they created the pacifiers to keep balance over the world, and later how the rings were created since their race began to die off, leaving them without enough power. The entire explanation was one-two chapters long and basically all new content that the author never planned to follow up on.

Plot hacks once more, had that old chick that made the Vongola gear show up with something that could do the job of the Pacifiers without using human sacrifices, had everyone use their flames to start it up and the 7th baby's flames to keep it controlled. They left that artifact with 7th to watch over it for eternity, let Checkerface off the hook as if he wasn't even a bad guy, and went home. The Arcobaleno were freed from their curse, Lal Mir's being only a half curse allowed her to grow up instantly while the others would just grow up as if they were normal babies, and everyone lived happily ever after.

Last chapter had Reborn shoot Tsuna with a dying will bullet and he burst out of his clothes a 'la first chapter to go rush off and confess to Kyouko.

Can't say I'm surprised. The last arc ended fairly conclusively and Tsuna is going to confess next chapter. Definitely did not like how they ended the Rainbow arc without a real final battle against Checker Face.

Everything past the Future arc sucks so watch out

hopefully WSJ will pick up something good

got tired of it halfway through the box fighting arc because byakuran was a terrible villain
interesting ideas attempted and some pretty art but that was it
