Katekyo-Hitman REBORN!
Amano Akira

Target 159 Ver. V.R. (Version Vongola Ring)

Fuuta: Uwah!

Hibari: Hmm.

Lal: That's…!!

Reborn: He's passed.

-2-

Lal: (This is it… This is what I had been waiting for.
The Sawada of this era wore the Ring on his finger, but he stored it on the back of his hand to draw out its power…)
この時代の沢田は指に装着したリングを 手の甲に宿し 力を引き出したという…

Lal: I didn't expect this configuration to result from the trial…
まさか試練の末の形態だとはな…

Reborn: I was only half-confident myself.
オレも半分自信なかったけどな
Lal: !
Reborn: Though in all honesty, I couldn't think of any way to let Tsuna power-up rapidly, other than the traditional trial.

Reborn: …Tsuna.
Very impressive.

Tsuna: ……

Tsuna: !!

-3-

Hibari: Wao.

[* Note: This is a Hibari… sound. He makes it when he's not impressed by people doing impressive things.]

Fuuta: Look, Lambo.
Look at Tsuna-nii's beautiful flame!

Fuuta: A high-purity flame with very little contamination will have that crystal-clear colour.
混じりけの少ない純度の高い炎は ああいう澄んだ色になるんだ

Fuuta: If it's the Sky, it's orange. The Sun is yellow. Rain is blue. Lightning is green.
Storm is red. Cloud is violet. And, Mist is indigo.

Fuuta: Furthermore, it's said that the higher the purity of a flame, the more power it can draw out from the characteristics of its attribute.

Tsuna: (Although this is a really mysterious power, and it's really unstable,
it feels as though it's brimming over from the depths of my heart…)

-4-

Hibari: You're finally starting to resemble the you I know.
Tsuna: !

Hibari: The you that thrills me the same way the Baby does.
赤ん坊と同じで僕をワクワクさせる君にね

Hibari: From here on, I can do whatever I want, right?
Akanbou. [* Baby ]

Reborn: Yes…
That is what I promised.

Hibari: Then…

Hibari: Let's begin.

-5-

Tsuna: Guh!

Fuuta: Eee!

Lal: Wha—

Lal: (The flames… no, it's his intimidation!! He's kept it under control until now…!!
So, this is Hibari Kyouya…)

Hibari: There are no rules in this fight.
The only choice you have is to defeat me… or to die.

Tsuna: I'll defeat you.

Hibari: Go for it.
きなよ

Lal: (He really intends to kill Sawada…)

-6-

Fuuta: He's gone!?

Tsuna: Ugh…

-7-

Tsuna: !!

-8-

Tsuna: Guh!!

Lal: What is that flame!!

Tsuna: !!

-9-

Tsuna: Gwaah!

Tsuna: Guh!!

-10-

Hibari: You're still moving.
体が流れてるよ [* I don't get this usage.]

Tsuna: (The flames are too weak!!
I'm going to get it!!)

Tsuna: Kuu!

Tsuna: Wha-!?

-11-

Fuuta: Eh!?

Lal: (It…
self-destructed!?)

-12-

Tsuna: Aaahh….
Uuu…

Hibari: What trick are you pulling?
なんのマネだい?

Lal: (Why!? It's said that the purity of the Sky flame increases the most among the seven attributes, so its propulsion force rises just as rapidly.
大空の炎の純度が上がり7属性随一といわれる 推進力は飛躍的にアップしている
What are you doing, Sawada…)

Reborn: It seems that the Ver. V.R. has
a peak-type special characteristic.

Lal: Peak-type?
Reborn: Yes.

-13-

Reborn: From the look on Tsuna's face, I don't think the flame that came out was what he expected.
Lal: …True, Sawada is moving awkwardly…

Lal: Couldn't that be because he was overwhelmed by the flame's power?

Reborn: If that's the case, he could fight within the limit of the power he can control. But now, he can't even do that.

Reborn: It's probably because Tsuna's normal X Gloves rise in power in linear proportion to the strength of his will.

Reborn: Compared to that, the Ver. V.R.'s special characteristic is that there is a point where the power jumps up exponentially.
So, he couldn't handle the sudden acceleration, and pitched backwards.

Lal: …I see.

Reborn: The new weapon that the ancestors gave Tsuna

Reborn: is an unpredictable wild horse.
先代達がツナに授けた新兵器ってのは、とんだじゃじゃ馬ってわけだな

-14-

Lal: Why are you saying that with such a happy face!?
Reborn: It's not something he can use yet, not without plenty of practice.
Yes, he has yet to grasp a feel of the distance and the timing.
まだとても実践では使える代物ではないということだぞ。 [* not sure of this line]
ああ距離感もタイミングもつかめねーだろうしな

Tsuna: (These gloves…
They consume my stamina more intensely that I thought…)
このグローブ…思ったより気力の消耗が激しい…

Tsuna: (Worse, he is not an opponent I can fight
if I can't get the flames under control…)

Hibari: Hey, you.
Remember what I said?

Tsuna: …
I must defeat you, right?

Tsuna: (I don't like that method at all…
But, it's my own chance for survival…)

Tsuna: (It's now or never…)
イチかバチか…

-15-

Lal: (He's going to decide the battle with one high-speed dash!! But, to get close enough to attack someone like Hibari…)

Lal: You won't make it!

Lal: You'll fall prey to his counter-attack!!!
カウンターの餌食に!!!

Tsuna: Guh!

-16-

Fuuta: Tsuna-nii!

Hibari: I'm disappointed in you.
I have no interest in weakly herbivores.

Hibari: I don't even feel like engaging you directly.

Hibari: I'll use the Box…

Tsuna: *pant *

Tsuna: *pant pant*

Fuuta: That's…
Mr. Hibari's Box!!

Lal: When he was hit!!

Tsuna: Please work…

-17-

Lal: It's fast!!
