Description

Dear Amano Akira,

What's up with the tortuously long revealing of adult Reborn? Newest development: his unshadowed left hand. We know he doesn't exist as floating appendages. If you could just show us his face already that'd be great. Kthx.

Yours truly,
A Reborn fan who just finished reading chapter 179



From all the fanart I've seen, adult Reborn speculations broadly fall into those four versions (japanese fanart of course; none to speak of across the Pacific). As for predictions...well...He'll probably have the curly sideburn hair strand regardless. Now the eyes and hair... If baby!Reborn's horrible skyscraper hat-hair stays, then Goku, the upper right version will be the winner...but there's hope in non-supersaiyan hair--baby!Lambo had an afro but 10yl Lambo's hair is not exactly the same. But, then again, Colonello didn't change at all from baby to adult. And the saucer-like eyes...Amano, please give Reborn some eye white.


(Bottom right adult!Reborn FTW)

(adult!Colonello & upper left Apollo-Justice-Reborn = fail)

No matter how many people say he's "hot" or whatever, adult Reborn scares the living crap outta me. He looks like Phoenix Wright gone wrong. No pun intended.

Hehe, if you read the commentary, this was drawn after reading chapter 179. It only took another 60 chapters to reveal him. Oh well, I'm pretty satisfied with adult!Reborn's character design.

Honestly, when I picture Adult Reborn, I Picture those side burns, and the rest of his hair slicked back (Mafia hair. I think Draco Malfoy had this hairstyle in the first couple of Harry Pottor movies)

Still, I cant wait to see Adult Reborn (it is just to long over due in my opinion)

I agree with you on this! It's cruel and unusual punishment for not revealing who Ten-Yers-Older Reborn is!

Yeah!! Akira Amano is just trying to torture us Reborn fans! :< Hehehehe...well I expect when he is finally revealed that he had better live to our expectations by 200%!

If you didn't use like a direct reference on this, then... I'm amazed O_O

Still, even if you did, it's still really good

Haha, I read a couple volumes of the manga past the eps, but am holding off on the rest for now (just cuz it's so depressing whenever you reach the most recently translated chapters of any manga and have to wait for more)

Haha, thanks. I used fanart references for Reborn, indirectly, I'd say.

I-I vote for bottom-right corner Reborn... who knows what his hair would look like without his gel. XD

HikaruNo5 In reply to Tehbaka [2008-04-01 11:00:21 +0000 UTC]

Same here, bottom right Reborn all the way. Haha, I didn't try a version of Reborn w/o his gel...he'd probably have Hibari's cut then...(ew )

I was thinking... a lot XD About his hairstyle >_>

Look, Reborn is an Arcobaleno. Lambo don't XD
Now, let's think in the chapter 179 and all the adult Arcobalenos...
Think in Colonnello, I-pin's master and Lal Mirch, specially. Those 3 that we know their hairs
They has the same hairstyle like babies and adults, because they were adults before coming babies XD

So, is the same with Reborn >_> If only we could see his hair in that chapter... no his hat!! XD

Yeahhhhhhh! Reborn's hair...his defining feature!

It's true that Lambo isn't an Arcobaleno, but I figure Amano Akira will still stylistically change any baby to adult in a similar way, whether arcobaleno or not (or maybe I just wanted to draw Lambo ). But yeah, looking at the unchanging Arcobalenos it seems like Reborn's gonna have DBZ spikey hair like he does as a baby! I don't know if I could live with that.

Mind if I friend you?

Thank you for the friend!

I'm seriously thinking about a kind of conspiracy in the WJS >__> A lot of characters has... how to say (damn english dictionary XD) los pelos parados?? Hairs up?!
Just look Tsuna, Ichigo, Crowley and Allen in Crown Clown Mode XDDD Goodness, why?! Why Reborn have to fall in that trap too!! XDDDD

It's very interesting what do you say about Reborn's hairstyle o o Compared with Lambo 10 years older

I would write more but... I'm exhausted... Write in English is not for me XD

It is way too important, isn't it? I love being superficial and fickle, especially for an eyecandy series.

And I have no idea what hair you're referring to above.
