OH MY GOD, AMANO, YOU PATHETIC FUCK
*howling with absolute disbelief*
AMANO, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, YOU GOATSUCKING HACK?!
*breathing hard*
I had already realized, well before this thank you, that Amano is dedicated to making her women useless frills, to handicapping even the few who are allowed to fight, to portraying the ones who are actually reasonably strong as absolute psychopaths, to making sure that they lose to the men every goddamn time. And I had realized, well before this also, that she has rolled back character development to nearly Issue 60 levels. And it was clear that Chrome was going to be the especial victim of both these trends, for the present arc.
BUT THIS! SHE HAS ACTUALLY CONTRADICTED HER OWN ESTABLISHED FACTS. HER OWN DAMN FACTS FROM THE LAST DAMN ARC WHERE THEY WERE REALLY DAMN CRITICAL TO THE PLOT! SHE CHANGED THE FACTS TO A DEGREE THAT IS FLATLY IMPOSSIBLE TO RECONCILE WITH PREVIOUS ACTION!
I don't believe this. Even though it's Amano I'm-a-flaming-misogynist Continuity-what's-that Akira, I still can't quite believe she actually just did that!
The only bright side I can wrest out of this pathetic clusterfuck is that the present arc is now clearly and canonically AU to the rest of the manga, and I therefore have a bulletproof reason to completely ignore it.
Right. There needs to be fic. Something where Chrome meets the first Mist, one way or another, and kicks his goddamn ass.

but if someone doesn't have the oomph to light them up, well nothing doing.
...Oh hay, good point. I didn't think of it that way. One could argue that she's not used to doing it without that channel, and thus automatically let (what she thought was) Mukuro take care of it, but the fact that she already has the power does cast a more unsatisfying light on that whole scene. And Spade/Julie is unsatisfying (read: disgusting) enough as it is.
But I am tentatively happy about where the characters are going. It was nearly unforgivable how much they reversed at the start of this arc, but Tsuna's development is looking really promising, Lambo's being allowed to have goals, and it's increasingly apparent that Gokudera's actually able to make sense out of himself and others by now.
