I too was impressed with Colonello. It was kind of funny when I was reading it because the moment I saw that rifle I said to myself, "Oh shit. Two teams are going to be eliminated."
You have to look at things from his standpoint though. He's closer to a true mafioso than Tsuna is and as such, he knows how to place the family before his own needs, unlike Tsuna. Mukuro has informed Tsuna at least a dozen times that he would eventually take over Tsuna's body and crush the Vongola. Add on the fact that Tsuna, having teamed up with Byakuran is like inviting a cobra into your bed and Iemitsu (hope I got his dad's name right) isn't having any of that. As far as he's concerned both Byakuran and Mukuro are gambits that are equally dangerous to the Vongola. If he can eliminate them from the match and even kill them then he's going to do what he has to do while he has an opening. He's not some cliche shounen dad (at least for the moment) he's mafia. I personally like Mukuro and Byakuran but if I was in Iemitsu's case I'd do the same thing. It's not about being everyone's best friend, it's about looking at any given situation, analyzing the problems, and taking steps to solve those problems. Byakuran (potentially) and Mukuro are both threats to the Vongola and with that in mind, well I'm sorry but they have to die. That's how Iemitsu is looking at it.
I think you mean seriousness? Seriosity is not a word. Apart from that I agree with you. Tsuna has been in enough life and death battles to know that he needs to get his head in the game.
Me too. I mean my word grow a pair.
I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Both Mukuro and Hibari are far superior to Tsuna in terms of combat experience, cunning, and raw power. The only reason Tsuna has taken down foes that they couldn't such as XanXus and Byakuran is simple plotkai. In a full on balls out battle between Tsuna, XanXus (love this guy), Byakuran, Hibari, and Mukuro, I guarantee Tsuna would be the first one eliminated if he didn't have his plot armor protecting him. Yes I'm aware that neither Byakuran nor XanXus are Tsuna's guardians however I'm making note of them because Tsuna, while very very powerful and far more skilled than a certain ADHD ninja in an orange jumpsuit, is really no match for the heavy-hitters in this game.
