#then they became a boss battle hahah

[mc211192]

There is no way that I can ever get over this couple. 6 years passed, and here I am, still going on FG mode for them…. Anyway, here are some hints that I collected in the past. I will post them again here. Hope it could help someone in case they want to reread KHR (for only D18 hints haha). OBVIOUS HINTS IN KHR THAT MAKE YOU BECOME A D18 SHIPPER 

- Chap 87: Dino called Hibari “Kyouya”-not his last name, but his name, right at their first fight, or to say, their first meeting (“I’ll have you become stronger, Kyoya”) and keep doing that all the time -which is quite of strange, since Japanese do notcall others’ name instead they’re real close (and i highly doubt Dino doesn’t know about this)…In all the manga, clearly there’s no one but Dino call Hibari by his name informally like that, and the most surprising, Hibari doesn’t seem to be bothered by this, at all! - Chap 105: Dino said he had to “lure” Hibari away from his school for a training journey. And it’s a QUITE OF LONG training journey! Who knows what-the-hell-they-do-besides-fighting-to-each-other all that time?!^^ - Chap 209-210: When Hibari first went to the future and fought with Genkishi, he said the Bucking Horse had already told him about the ring flame before. That means, after the Ring Battle, they must have met each other again so Dino could teach his student how to activate his flame, right?!…Wonder what else did they talk (or do) besides that aim, since Dino’s tutor responsibility to Hibari might already be finished after that. Else, it’s still pretty amazing for Dino to be able to know about the ring flames at that time, as well as teaching Hibari how to activate it. And he even know his student’s track of mind well enough to give him the one-and-only simple method: be pissed off…Haha - Chap 231: Again, after 10 years, Dino still showed up to be Hibari’s tutor, and he spend someday privately with his student before coming to Tsuna’s place. Just for teaching or he simply wanted to have some time alone with his beloved one, even if it’s just his younger self?! (And more important, he seemed to be still single at the age of 32, hahah^^ A hot man like him, and 10 years passed, still single??…) -Chap 235: Dino showed up at the base majestically in a horse, then with the same greatness, fell down pathetically because of the absence of his subordinates. But thanks to this, we’re disclosed of a big hint that Romanio and Kurasabe had gone out to drink, TOGETHER, and left Dino behind….So can you guys see that? In those 10 years, I wonder how much time their bosses spent together to be able for these 2 loyal assistants become such drinking buddies like that?! - Chap 242: When Hibari acted stubbornly, Dino easily convinced him to let it go. Guess in 10 years time, he had to deal with Hibari’s temper a lot and moreover, got used to it already to be so much experienced like that, huh?! - Chap 257: After returning back to Namimori, Hibari went to check for his school, and Dino followed him right away! Seems like no matter how strong Hibari becomes, Dino still worries and takes care of him! Such a devoted tutor (lover), don’t u agree?! - Chap 260-261: Dino was almost gotten killed by Daisy, and Hibari immediately save him (certainly in his own twisted way) and came to defeat (or as I would like to rephrase, punish) the guy hurt his tutor/important one. Besides, not as much connected, but Dino also revealed that he preferred closed combat than fighting with boxes. Such a perfect match for each other, he and Hibari, aren’t they? And again, I can’t help but noticing of how close Kurasabe and Romanio had become over years…They both did care a lot about Dino when he was injured. How acquainted Dino to Kurasabe must be linked from how closed his chairman and Dino are, don’t you think? - Chap 299: Simon family‘s overpower made all of our guys fall, even Hibari! Dino came right to his student and ask for his condition! Just a small detail, I know, but as FG, we can no way skip such a caring action like this, right?! - Chap 323: Hibari said: “It is sky that allows the cloud to move about freely”. Yeah, this could be considered as the closest-to-confession of the prideful prefect, and would always be the endless fight between D18 and 1827 fans! In the end, who is our skylark’s sky? Vongola sky or Vongola’s neighboured sky?! Your taste, your choice! ^^ (but i already have mine) - Chap 358: Dino (happily and confidently) volunteered for talking Hibari into join their team, and as he said in chap 363, Hibari even agreed to give him his response latter, not just turning him down immediately like with Reborn! Seems like Dino’s convincing skill to Hibari worked quite of well, huh?! Wonder which method did he use…  - Chap 365: Dino became Naminori”s teacher, and Hibari came to see him! His intention of “biting Dino to death” was totally obvious, and he also clearly stated that the only reason why he join Fon is to have a chance fighting Dino! And we all know, for a battle-maniac like Hibari, violence is just the way to show his interest, don’t u agree? Besides, they even set up a fight (date) at Dino’s hotel. AT NIGHT. (*memories of all dj floods back*) - Chap 367: Fon asked why Hibari is so fixated with Dino like that. It’s means he had been obsessed with his tutor so much that even make Fon wondered something like that, haha.. - Chap 373-375: Dino appeared when Hibari was almost lost, and he imposingly said “Don’t you dare raise your hand against my pupil!” (It’s a confession, right?! A confession?!!..) He also knew Hibari’s personality well and chose to stay watched and just gave him advices! (There was also a memory about their meet before when Hibari even showed some interest for Dino’s weapon)! And after all, they began fighting each other, again, to get Hibari out of the hotel (really, Dino, you shouldn’t pamper your student so much like that, no matter how much cute he is)

Seriously, in the manga, there was no one but Dino as willingly spending so much time together with Hibari like that. (Sure he’s strong and attractive, but his homocidal behaviors and violence are just..not going well with normal human beings..) I just love seeing them together!!

Playing: Gylt

I skipped one night of Gylt. I was a little tired and didn’t want to expose myself to the stress. But last night--I went for it. I died in the game for the first time. In horror games, I’m always really afraid of dying right up until the first time. Then after that, I become much more reckless. It’s true, I’ve been very conservative in the game until this point--now I’m just running about, slaying shadow-monsters as I find them.  I completed two actual boss fights. One involving the inflamed Big Daddy that reminded me of The Man on Fire boss from Metal Gear Solid 5. It was a neat little fight once I realized what I was supposed to do. Then later, if battled the “Projector-Spider”. This whole sequence was a little unnerving as you could hear Emily screaming the whole time. It was an interesting “boss” but once I realized the lack of danger, it became more tedious than tense.  Maybe they were trying to go for a “crawling sequence” like in Metal Gear Solid 4? I’m now in the “art building”, and the baby doll manikin is very creepy--and since I can’t “defeat it”, much more intimidating than the monsters. Also, I’m seeing more weakness with the in-game cinematics. Maybe they should hire me to help them? Hahah...but really... Given that so many scenes are hand-drawn, pseudo-animation, the game feels a little incomplete. Like the gameplay was ready but the narrative elements were not, but they had to launch with Stadia.  I thought I was near the end--but I am not. Or at least not as much as I hoped. Given how little “story” exists so far, I’m hoping the ending really blows me away--much as Rime did.
