Template:Fight InfoboxThe Representative Battle of the Rainbow is a battle between the representatives of all seven Arcobaleno. The Arcobaleno whose representative wins the battle is granted release from their Arcobaleno curse, their baby bodies; or, in the Sky Arcobaleno's case, the removal of the curse of their short lifespan. However, this battle's reward is merely a ruse for Checker Face to determine the next generation of seven Arcobaleno, who will be the members of the winning team. The planner of this battle is Wonomichi, Checker Face's subordinate.
Rules
Since the seven Arcobaleno are most gifted in their own field and not all are battle-oriented, a rule has been put in place by Checker Face to pick representatives to fight in their place, as if the Arcobaleno Pacifiers were destroyed, it would be disastrous. Each of the Arcobaleno representatives are considered a team; each team is given a box that contains 8 wristwatches. 1 wristwatch is for the Arcobaleno, 1 is for the representative boss, and the 6 others are for the other representatives. The battle taking place would be a battle royale; the team whose boss's watch is destroyed loses. Alliances between teams may be formed. The Arcobaleno of the team, while he or she is allowed to observe, is prohibited from entering and engaging in the battle.
If a representative is in serious danger, the Arcobaleno may call into their wristwatch "present, please." This will temporarily remove the Arcobaleno's curse for 3 minutes and allow them to fight in the battle. The Arcobaleno can also manually remove their un-cursed form by saying "present, stop."
Representative Teams
- Team Reborn (winner)
- Team Verde (eliminated)
- Team Mammon (eliminated)
- Team Bermuda (eliminated)
- Team Yuni (eliminated)
- Team Fon (eliminated)
- Team Colonnello (eliminated)
- Team Skull (eliminated/replaced)
- Alliance Team
Prelude
Checker Face gathers all the Arcobaleno (sans Aria) in a dream to announce a battle between the Arcobaleno, where their selected representatives fight for them, and the winner's Arcobaleno curse is removed. As a result, all the Arcobaleno find their own representatives except Fon, who had yet to find one. Aria also gives up her right for her curse to be removed, instead giving it to her daughter Yuni from ten years later. Later, when Tsuna and Dino are forced into the Varia's hotel room, a mysterious man with a similar hat to Checker Face's named Yonomichi bursts in the room and announces his status as the planner of the Arcobaleno battle, also explaining the rules of the battle. Yonomichi, after informing the Varia and Tsuna and Dino of the rules, left to inform all of the other representatives of the battle's rules; in Fon's case, he simply told Fon himself, who reassured his pet Lichi that he had found a suitable representative. Before the battle, some teams move to make alliances. Verde creates supposed "new-generation weapons" while Mammon spends his entire fortune to pay Talbot for new Varia Rings.
