[[File:Secret_code_write.JPG|thumb|left|230px|Reborn's Letter]]In the [[Varia]] headquarters, [[Viper|Mammon]] has just finished bathing. He promptly receives a letter from [[Reborn]] written in the [[Arcobaleno Secret Code]]. Mammon, by shining his [[Arcobaleno Pacifiers|Pacifier]]'s light on the message, learns that Reborn has gotten a hint regarding the [[Arcobaleno]] curse. Before Mammon finishes reading the letter, [[Belphegor]] enters the room and tells him that there was an emergency meeting. At the meeting room, [[Squalo]] announces that they will be recruiting a new Varia officer, surprising everyone in the room except [[Xanxus]]. From the memories of their battle in the future, the Varia recall that [[Flan]] was appointed as the new officer in the future. While everyone else is arguing over the topic at hand, Mammon ignores all the commotion since he's solely focusing on Reborn's letter and the fact that he might have to tell Xanxus everything about the Arcobaleno curse. Because he is deep in thought, he fails to see food being thrown at him, and as a result, the letter becomes heavily stained with food. He immediately excuses himself from the table so he can continue reading his letter. However, he cannot read the most important part of the letter due to the stain and his pride wouldn't allow him to ask other Arcobaleno for help. In the midst of his dilemma, Belphegor interrupts him and informs him that they will go to Jura, France, to retrieve Flan. Knowing that there's a [[Pacifier Spring]] in Jura that can make his Pacifier bright enough to read the message, Mammon decides to follow along. As they arrive in France, they all go to Flan's grandmother's house to ask about Flan. Flan's grandmother tells them that Flan has gone playing at the upstream of the river. The Varia heads out and arrives at their destination, but instead find the [[Kokuyo Junior High Gang]] members; [[Mukuro]], [[Ken]], [[Chikusa]], and [[M.M]]), who are also looking for Flan to recruit him. While exchanging words, they notice a figure wearing a huge apple hat on the river, the figure commenting on how his grandmother's lunchboxes were horrible. Belphegor points out that the boy is Flan.

]] side. Fran then mocks his habit of saying 'Byon' after his sentences and calls him a stupid fairy and not to touch him or else he would catch his stupidity. [[Leviathan]] tries to stop him as well, but Flan states that he isn't scary at all, and ignores him in the hopes that he'll go away, shocking Leviathan. Mukuro and [[Squalo]], along with Chikusa, stop him by pointing their weapons at him. Flan then tries to calm them down, which turns out into insulting them; Squalo about his hair, Chikusa about his skin, and Mukuro for his supposed 'pineapple reek', angering the three people further. Squalo questions if Flan recently hit his head, to which Flan answers that, according to his grandmother, he hit his head on a block of cheese, and claims that he cannot remember anything, which is his memories of the future. Knowing this, both Mukuro and Squalo turn to each other, and then attempt to shove the responsibility of taking Flan on one another. Squalo tells Mukuro that Flan is his disciple and he should be the one to take care of him, but Mukuro refuses and retorts that he's also busy and that the Varia should take Flan and cure him of his stupidity before he takes him back. Meanwhile, Mammon arrives at the Pacifier Spring and meets the other Arcobaleno, with the exception of Aria and Reborn. They then show their letters from Reborn and reveal that it is another one of Reborn's games, to gather them together to be able to read the entire message. Parts of the letters are purposely left illegible. By layering the letters on top of each other, the entire message can be shown. They then proceed to decipher Reborn's message, finding out the conclusion of Tsuna's battle with Daemon, the eight flame, and the Arcobaleno with transparent pacifier, surprising them. They feel like they have seen the Arcobaleno before, and the other Arcobaleno all have an idea as to who it may be. Back at the Kokuyo Gang and Varia's situation, they decide to use a game of ladder to settle it, with the loser taking Flan without holding any grudges. However, Flan interrupts and says that he wants to choose for himself, and pointed to one of the two groups, the chosen one being unknown.

[[File:Chrome_transferred_to_Nami-Middle.jpg|thumb|left|252px|Chrome transferred to Tsuna's class]]Back to a day before, at night [[Tsuna]], [[Reborn]], and [[Lambo]] are in the bathroom, taking their baths. Reborn frightens Lambo with the size of the lathering from his shampoo, which is at least as tall as Tsuna himself. [[Fuuta]] appears when they emerge from the bathroom, handing Tsuna a glass of water. Reborn asks [[Bianchi]] for beer, but Tsuna objects on the basis of his infant status. Annoyed, Reborn goes to bed along with the others. Tsuna stays up for a bit, wondering what an [[Arcobaleno]] is and what the curse mentioned by Mammon is, having been reminded by the beer incident. The next day, Tsuna and the others are surprised to see that [[Chrome]] has been transferred to Namimori Middle School. She stands at the front of the classroom to introduce herself, but breaks down crying in [[Kyoko]]'s arms. When discussing this between classes, [[Ryohei]] tells [[Gokudera]], Tsuna, and [[Yamamoto]] that according to what Kyoko has heard from Chrome, she was kicked out of the [[Kokuyo Junior High Gang]] by [[Mukuro]], only finding a letter telling her to leave as well as a Namimori High uniform beside it. He also mentions that when she left, [[Kokuyo Land]] was abandoned. Gokudera then comments that since Mukuro is free from jail, he doesn't need Chrome anymore. Tsuna seemed to have doubts about the representation of events. Reborn arrives and tells them that he was told by Mukuro to talk about Chrome. He was given her living expenses by Mukuro as well. Since Chrome has already arrived in [[Namimori]], Reborn said that settling her into either Kyoko or Haru's house would be for the best. Reborn then suggests a welcoming party for Chrome at Tsuna's house, with the theme of a mimicry contest. After agreeing to this, they hear the bell for class to resume and return, but Tsuna stays behind and asks Reborn about the Arcobaleno. After dodging the question for a bit, Reborn admits that it's about time for Tsuna to know everything, after Tsuna has proven his growth. Reborn cut off that he will tell him if Tsuna wins the mimicry game at Chrome's welcoming party. At the party, Chrome thanks everyone for throwing it for her with the moral support of [[Haru]] and Kyoko. As the party goes on, Tsuna wonders why he was uneasy when Reborn said he would tell him everything. He believes it is because knowing the secret would make his daily normal life change drastically, possibly because of his [[Vongola Hyper Intuition]]. He thinks to himself that if that is true, he would be happier in igorance. When it was Tsuna's turn to mimick someone he choose [[Leon]], and got 0 points from Leon himself, despite Reborn's thoughts.

===The Dream===
During his sleep, Reborn was having a dream of the time before he become an Arcobaleno. He was seen in his own room and then pointed his gun at someone who asked who he was. The [[The Man with the Iron Hat|mysterious man with an iron hat]] brought out a clear pacifier and claimed that he was gathering the "I Prescelti Sette" (World's Strongest Selected Seven). The dream was cut off when Tsuna awoke him and Reborn immediately pointed his gun at him, until Tsuna calmed him down. Reborn told him that he was having unpleasant dream or to be precise, his old memories. Reborn revealed as he went back to sleep that none of the [[Arcobaleno]] wanted to become one, but realized that Tsuna was already asleep. Reborn decided to sleep again and had a[[File:Mysterious_man.png|thumb|252px|The man with the iron hat appeared in Arcobaleno dream]] continuation of the dream, where he met the other remaining Arcobaleno, with exception of Colonello, who replaced Lal's position later on. Suddenly, however, Reborn returned to his infant form, followed by the others, except Luce and Lal, who disappeared. They came into realization that they were having the same dream. During their confusion and surprise, the man with the iron hat appeared, causing them try to attack him, but to no avail, as their movements were stopped and they couldn't move their bodies. The man explained that the reason for their immobility was that they were inside a dream, thus, they won't be able to use their Arcobaleno power. However, he assured them he didn't come to fight but to ascertain their determination, then make a proposition. The Arcobaleno were suspicious at this, until the man questioned if they wished to solve the "Curse of the Rainbow". All the Arcobaleno, sans Reborn, all answered in the affirmative. The man with the iron hat then reveals that he intended to decline the Arcobaleno's numbers by one; the strongest Arcobaleno's body would be reverted to its adult form. He further explained that they had to find a representative to fight for them. Reborn, however, says that they couldn't trust him, the other Arcobaleno agreeing with him. However, the man with the iron hat threatens to disappear and leave them in their infant body for the rest of their lives, which persuaded all the Arcobaleno to agree. The dream then ended, leaving the Arcobaleno to find their representatives.

They both contemplate the possibility of an Arcobaleno recruiting him.

[[Yuni]] and Gamma shares a brief emotional reunion until [[Byakuran]] interrupts them, stating to Gamma that he would make her cry. Angered, Gamma summons his box weapon and was about to attack Byakuran, but Yuni stops him, thanking Byakuran for coming for her, much to surprise of Gamma, Nosaru, and Tazaru. Byakuran returns the gesture and reveals that Aria has predicted the representative battle to remove the curse of the Arcobaleno, telling them that [[Aria]] has retired and gave her position to Yuni so Yuni could be free from the curse instead of her, the Sky Arcobaleno curse being their short lifespan. This upsets Gamma even though he understood Aria's reason and was soon angry again, questioning why Byakuran and the [[Six Funeral Wreaths ]]had to be Yuni's representatives, to which Byakuran replies that because they were the best partners, continuing to tell them that they needed to go to Japan since that was the place where the representative battle would take place.

Back at Japan, Tsuna and Reborn visit [[Dino]] at the hotel but then Tsuna was taken away by Belphegor, who brought him to Xanxus. Xanxus states that he would crush him in the representative battle, much to Tsuna's horror and fear that Varia would also participates in the battle as Mammon's representatives. Xanxus suddenly blows the roof of their room, demanding for someone to come out. From the roof, a man with the same hat as the man with the iron hat reveals himself, saying that he forgot the Varia's room number and introduces himself as [[Tsunomichi]], the planner of the [[Representative Battle of the Rainbow]] and the man with the iron hat's messenger, stating that he came to explain the [[Representative Battle of the Rainbow#Rules|rules]] of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow that would take place in four days, as well as giving them their [[Wristwatches|wristwatches]], a crucial component in the battle.

Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, and Dino came over to Tsuna's house to discuss regarding Yuni's decision to choose Byakuran as her representative and the alliance that offered by Byakuran. They all disagreed for an alliance since they're still wary of Byakuran, but Reborn agreed to it since Byakuran's power would be useful for their team. When they thought about the remaining two representatives needed for their team, Gokudera suggested Hibari, but unfortunately, Hibari had turned down Reborn's invitation to join the team because he had 'severe case of hives' ever since the battle with Daemon. Dino then suggested Enma since he is strong, though in Reborn's view, Enma doesn't fulfill his high standard. While Dino tries to persuade Hibari to join them, Tsuna and Reborn went to Enma at the riverbank to ask him to join them, only to find him with Skull. Skull revealed that Enma is his representative, much to Tsuna's shock. Enma suggested to form an alliance, which Tsuna agreed to, but both Skull and Reborn against it, much Tsuna's dismay. Elsewhere, each team prepared their own preparation for the upcoming Representative battle.

Tsuna awoke and hurried up to school since he was nervous because it was the first day of The Representative Battle of the Rainbow. Though, once he met his friends at school and act normally like they usually did, he felt at ease. After school, however, the wristwatches announced the battle to start. Tsuna quickly went outside and was surprised by a sudden explosion that turned out to be caused by none other than his father, Iemitsu, who becoming his first opponent.

Not long after the Vindice's sudden assaults, right at 00.00 a.m, the wrist watches announced the start of the third Representative Battle of the Rainbow.

There, they encountered Mukuro who was then followed by his team with Ken and Chikusa participated in the battle again by using the remaining spare watches.

{{Main|Team Reborn & Team Verde vs. Team Bermuda}}
  +
*Winner: Team Reborn & Team Verde
  +
Bermuda and Jager appeared shortly after Tsuna defeated the last Vindice, Jaque. Bermuda immediately gave Reborn his invitation to join his team. When Reborn refused the offer, Bermuda forcefully sucked him into his warp hole and send him to the Vendicare Prison, saying that he won't be able to refuse once he knew the truth. However, Tsuna, who was trying to prevent Reborn being transported, also ended up being sucked into the warp hole, ending up in Vendicare Prison along with Reborn and discovered the mystery behind the Arcobaleno.
  +
===The Secret of the Arcobaleno===
  +
Bermuda and Jager confronted Tsuna and Reborn and told them to let go of their wrist watches and took them to a special room that will prevent anyone to hear their conversation, making Reborn confirmed that Bermuda is not allied with Checker Face.
  +
  +
Bermuda explained that the Arcobaleno are human sacrfices that Checker Face prepared to protect the Arcobaleno pacifiers. The pacifiers are cursed treasures that must never be destroyed and he selected seven most powerful people at the generation and make them Arcobaleno to protect it since no normal human being able to protect the pacifiers. However, the curse that inflicted on the Arcobaleno resulting a side effect for the Arcobaleno that will endangered the pacifiers. To prevent this, there's a pass-on pacifiers through generation to generation, either through contracting job or Representative Battle. Bermuda revealed that the Representative of the Rainbow is a trap that Checker Face set up to choose the next strongest seven and make them the next generation Arcobaleno and he had no intention to free the current Arcobaleno from their curse. Reborn questioned what will happened to the previous Arcobaleno, to which Bermuda answered that they will be dismissed, but most of the Arcobaleno who had their pacifiers removed ended up dead or even if one does manage to survive they only have a cursed life, becoming a Vindice that desires nothing but revenge.
  +
  +
Bermuda expressed his desire to kill Checker Face by winning the Representative Battle of the Rainbow since the sole moment where Checker Face could be killed is the moment when he summoned the winning team to his side, but to do that, he need Reborn's help. Reborn asked why out of all Arcobaleno he chose him. Bermuda answered that Tsuna's miracilous growth through Reborn's guidance is what made him realized that he is different from the other Arcobaleno. He revealed further that he used to be an Arcobaleno that deceived by Checker Face, but able to resist when his flame is being taken by him and refill the empty pacifier with a new flame, Flame of Night and taught other former Arcobaleno with the same desires for revenge how to use the flame, creating the organization that guard the mafia law, Vindice. Reborn asked why guardians of mafia, and Bermuda explained that Checker Face is the one who administrates Tri-ni-Set and through he prediction of certain shaman, he able to know that the ones who will received Vongola Rings and Mare Rings would be Giotto and Yuni's ancestor, Sepira, the mafia bosses who found Vongola and Giglionero. He thought that if they watch over the Tri-ni-Set, they able to reach Checker Face. Reborn then asked what will happened to the current Arcobaleno is Checker Face is killed. Bermuda revealed that they will die along with everyone that involved with the Arcobaleno including Yuni, Lal, and the Vindice since killing Checker Face means destroying the Arcobaleno system itself. Hearing this, Tsuna declared that they are wrong and he won't let them win the Repsentative Battle. Reborn decided to follow Tsuna's will, rejecting Bermuda's offer to join him.
  +
  +
With the invitation rejected, Jager stated that he won't let them leave. Tsuna went into Hyper Dying Will Mode and fought Jager. However, Jager easily overpowered Tsuna within a matter of seconds. Before he could deliver another blow, Bermuda ordered him to stop, telling him that now Reborn will realize that Tsuna won't stand a chance against him and won't do something stupid such as following Tsuna's will again. Bermuda told him to reconsider his offer and he will wait his answer until the fourth day battle. Before they left, Bermuda warned him that whether he reject or accept his invitation, he will go to hell either way. Not seeing any possibility that Tsuna will win against Jager, Reborn told Tsuna that there's no need for him to die for the sake of the Arcobaleno. This frustrated Tsuna since usually he would punch him if he thought something as cowardly as that.
  +
  +
Both of them ended up at the play ground with Yuni, Verde, Fon, Reborn, M.M and Flan waiting for them. They found out that the injured Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ken, and Chikusa are taken to either hospital or Kokuyo Land. They were then shown the result of the third day battle and found that Mammon used his remaining present time to escape the Vindice with illusion. Reborn told them to call Mammon since he wanted to discuss what Bermuda had told him. M.M demanded Tsuna to explain what Bermuda said to him, but Tsuna ignored her and ran off, wondering what he should do to help Reborn.
  +
===Tsuna's Plan===
  +
Tsuna goes home and finds that his dad, Iemitsu, is injured. After Tsuna expresses concern about his father's wounds, Iemitsu tells him to do his best for the Representative Battle and rest well until the next one begins. Tsuna gets ready for bed, troubled by the day's events.
  +
  +
Meanwhile, Reborn tells the other Arcobaleno what Bermuda told him, shocking them all. Colonnello comments that he has been feeling worse than usual recently and Reborn says the same. Reborn reveals that Bermuda wanted him as an ally and that he thinks that they should get rid of Checker Face and the Arcobaleno system. However, Mammon protests violently, saying that he wants to live longer. Verde agrees and states that he doesn't want to die as a consequence of someone else's project. When Colonnello discovers Lal Mirch could die as well, he goes against the idea. Agitatedly, Mammon orders Reborn to think of other ways of survival, but Reborn replies that there are no other ways.
  +
  +
At the Sawada residence, Tsuna reflects on how Reborn was always there whenever he was in a pinch and needed advice. Tsuna goes downstairs to get a glass of water. When he reaches the kitchen, he finds Lambo drinking Basil's strawberry juice. When Tsuna asks him why, Lambo says that his juice was grape flavored and he wondered what Basil's strawberry juice would taste like. Tsuna protests, but Lambo ignores him and drinks anyways. Afterwards, Lambo fills up Basil's juice bottle with his own juice to make up for the difference. Tsuna objects, saying that the taste would be different. Lambo drinks from Basil's bottle to test it out and exclaims that it is good. After putting the bottle back in the fridge, Lambo hurriedly sneaks back up to his room. Tsuna wishes that his own problem go away if he filled up the missing juice. When he thinks about his words, Tsuna realizes he has to fill up the missing part.
  +
  +
Tsuna makes a call to Vongola Ninth and asks for his help in contacting a person. After obtaining the necessary information, Tsuna flies to a house in a forest and enters, saying that it has been a long time. Later, Tsuna expresses his thanks, informs the person that he will focus on the Representative War, and leaves. In Kokuyo Land, Mukuro notices Tsuna, who wants to talk to him. At Namimori Hospital, Tsuna approaches Byakuran and Enma and talks to both of them. After doing so, Tsuna flies to the Varia's hotel and asks Xanxus to lend him a hand. Xanxus stares at him and Tsuna looks back at him with resolution.
  +
  +
After making the phone call to Vongola Ninth, Tsuna visited Talbot. Talbot told Tsuna that he came to Japan because he had a bad feeling about the Representative Battle. As Tsuna repeated the words of Bermuda to Talbot, Talbot commented that Bermuda is a tough guy. Tsuna told Talbot his idea to replace an Arcobaleno's removed Flame. Tsuna further elaborated by saying that Checker Face removes the Flames of the current Arcobaleno to create the new generation and that Bermuda had survived as a Vindice by forcing the Flame of Night, a Flame made of hatred and vindictiveness, into his empty Pacifier. Tsuna suggested that if the correct type of Flame is injected into the empty Pacifiers based on their owners, there might be a chance of the Arcobaleno surviving. Talbot compared Tsuna's idea to using blood as a transfusion for anaemic people. Tsuna questioned his idea's probability and after much contemplating, Talbot replied that it might be possible and disclosed that he had been doing research on the Pacifiers, finding them to be similar to both the Vongola Rings and Mare Rings. Talbot explained further, saying that what is transferred between Arcobaleno generations is not the Pacifier's soul but rather, the energy that is contained. Thus, even after the Flame is removed, if the right type of Flame is injected before the soul dies completely, the Arcobaleno's life could be prolonged. Tsuna interrupted excitedly but Talbot continued on and remarked that the process would not be so simple because the changing of the generations is also linked to the pacifier's lifespan. Talbot said that it is still worth a try because nothing is known yet and informed Tsuna clearly that if Bermuda were to win the Representative Battle, then all would be lost. Talbot told Tsuna to defeat Bermuda and stated that Tsuna is the only one who can accomplish this. Tsuna responded with a resounding yes.
  +
  +
Tsuna's flashback ends when Reborn appears and notifies Tsuna about the outcome of the Arcobaleno meeting, saying that they had a big fight due to their differences and a conclusion was not reached. Tsuna asks if Reborn is seriously thinking of becoming Bermuda's ally and Reborn replies that if he has to die, he might as well destroy the Arcobaleno system in the process. Tsuna requests that Reborn gets on his shoulder, as he has something to tell the latter. Tsuna flies to Namimori Shrine. When they reach the shrine, Reborn asks why they went all the way there. Tsuna replies that he does not want to be discovered by other students and states that he is skipping school. Reborn comments that it has been a long time since that happened and asks Tsuna if he thinks that Reborn, as his home tutor, will allow his skipping of school. Hearing this, Tsuna shouts at Reborn agitatedly, wondering how Reborn could say that. Tsuna recalls the day when he first met Reborn and how Reborn showed up out of nowhere, claiming to be a tutor for training Tsuna to be a Mafia boss. Tsuna says that he felt like the days after had been a mess and rattles off things that Reborn had forced him to do that turned his school life into a disaster in the process. However, even after going through all of that, Tsuna says that in the end, he had fun and that he even felt happy to have Reborn as a tutor. Tsuna says that he was outraged when Reborn said that he never expected to die a decent death and angrily questions if Reborn is always thinking sad thoughts whenever he is by the former's side, even when he was having fun. Tsuna exclaims that Reborn is a failure as a home tutor if he has been behaving this way the whole time. Tsuna informs Reborn that this time, it is his turn to teach Reborn. Getting emotional, Tsuna is unable to complete his sentence and slumps onto the ground. After a few moments, Tsuna tells Reborn with conviction that he is not going to let Reborn die.
  +
  +
Tsuna finally gets his feelings off his chest, only to find out that Reborn is sleeping beside him. Tsuna feels incredulous that Reborn fell asleep while he was addressing such important concerns. Tsuna tries to rouse Reborn but stops himself in time after he thinks of the consequences. Tsuna wonders how much had Reborn heard before he slept. As Tsuna heads home, it is revealed that Reborn is actually pretending to be asleep. Reborn, with a satisfied grin on his face, saying that Tsuna does as he pleases, but then said that impossible things is still impossible.
  +
  +
Tsuna visits Yamamoto and Gokudera at the hospital and notifies them of the same matter that he had already told Mukuro, Byakuran, Enma and Xanxus. Gokudera is upset that he did not get to know first and Tsuna explains that it is because Tsuna is so dependent on his guardian and sees them as his family that he just natrually assumes that they will help him out. Tsuna apologies but Gokudera brushes it off, exclaiming proudly that they are a family. After hearing Tsuna out, Yamamoto and Gokudera tells him that they will support him and to leave the matter to them. As Tsuna goes off to inform Dino, Yamamoto comments that it is the first time he has seen Tsuna being calm although he is about to be facing a decisive battle and somehow, that calmness is infectious.
  +
  +
Tsuna finds Dino and Hibari in a forest and is shocked to find that they have been battling since the battle against Team Mammon. Dino reassures Tsuna that he will be taking part in tomorrow's Representative Battle but is refuted by Hibari, who says harshly that it is impossible as Dino is going to be bitten to death by him. Tsuna says he has something important to tell them and his serious demeanor made them listen. Dino is shocked at the power of Team Bermuda after hearing the events that happened to Reborn.
  +
  +
Kyoko, Haru, Chrome and I-Pin have finished making the good luck charms and are on their way to Tsuna's house. Bianchi is waiting for them outside and brings them in. There is a huge crowd and Haru identifies some of the men as Dino's subordinates. Bianchi explains that there are many more others and that they were all summoned here. Haru questions the motive for gathering them and Bianchi comments that these are pretty scary people and summoning them is not a feat that just anyone could manage. This made them wondering who was the one who summoned them.
  +
  +
Inside the house, Tsuna is speaking with the fighting forces that he approached, pleading for them to fight together. He explained everything that Talbot had told him and his experience from his previous fight with Jager and the necessity for them to work together to defeat the Vindice, declaring that this time they should be the ones to make the first move.
  +
  +
At the afternoon, Reborn approaches Tsuna, telling him to return the Boss watch since he decided to pull out from the battle and said it's impossible for Tsuna to defeat the Vindice even with all the team join forces together. This enraged Tsuna and challenged Reborn to take the Boss fight by force if he wants to, entering Hyper Dying Will Mode and unleashed great amount of his flames, which impressed Reborn but saying that it's still not enough to defeat Bermuda or Jager. Reborn continues to say that his mission is to make him a splendid Tenth Vongola Boss and it would be pointless if he dies. However, Tsuna corrected him that Vongola Primo would surely say that someone that abandoned their friends cannot be entrsuted with the fate of Vongola, telling him that someone unwilling to risk death for the sake of their friends is not qualify to become Vongola Decimo, surprising Reborn. Seeing Tsuna's determination, Reborn admitted that he wants to live longer and wants to die without any regret as he has gained desire to see Tsuna to grow more, requesting him to keep him alive, finally agree with Tsuna's plan, much to the latter's relief. The other Arcobaleno revealed themselves, also agreeing with Tsuna's plan to defeat Bermuda and his team.
  +
===4th Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow===
  +
The watch announced that the battle would be held with 90 minutes time limit. Bermuda sensed that the three teams each are in separate locations, so he ordered them to split into three groups. He and Jager appeared in front of Reborn's team, asking for Reborn's answer of his invitation. Reborn refused once again, saying that he cannot accept Bermuda's way. With his invitation rejected, Bermuda ordered Jager to finish them off, bidding them good bye. However, it turns out that the team members are only [[Decoy Puppet]]. Reborn explained that they have predicted Bermuda able to sense their flames and precense, so they have Irie, Spanner, and Verde to create decoy puppets that able to emit flames and heartbeat to fool them. Elsewhere, [[Alejandro]] destroys Team Mammon's puppets and cornered by Tsuna, Enma, and Basil who ambushes him.

After defeating Alejandro, the three moves to their next targets. Receiving report that Alejandro was defeated and unable to sense their flames afterwards, Bermuda guessing that they're using some sort of barrier cover that make protecting their flames from being detected by him. Also, the members of Team Verde that defeated by Big Pino and Small Gia were also puppets but then someone's illusions appears to fight them, realizing that it is meant to hold them until Tsuna, Enma, and Basil arrives to defeat them. Knowing this, Jager suggested that they should go to help [[Big Pino]] and [[Small Gia]], but before they can do so, Dino, Mukuro, Squalo, Xanxus, and Byakuran reveal themselves, preparing to fight them. Meanwhile, at the parking lot, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Chrome, and Flan were struggling against Big Pino and Small Gia until Tsuna, Enma, and Basil arrives to help them.

===The Truth of the Tri-ni-set===
  +
Checker Face revealed himself directly, much to the shock of everybody present. Realizing that they have known the truth behind the Representative battle of the Rainbow as well as the secret behind Arcobaleno Pacifiers, Checker Face confirmed that it was true. When they questioned his presence, Checker Face revealed that he merely hiding his presence with Segno Ring as he opened his mask, revealing himself as Kawahira, surprising them. Kawahira then unleashed his flames, showing that they are on entirely different level to defeat him as they are just normal humans. He revealed that he belong to a special species who had lived on Earth before human ever born whose duty is to protect the planet Earth. However, over the only ones of these species who are still alive on present day are only him and Yuni.
  +
  +
He explained that the Tri-ni-set originally were not set of 21 rings they all know but a seven stones. When his species were still about ten people alive, they gave their flames to the seven stones. However, as their members died one by one until only five of them remains, the decided to borrow the humans' powers and thus, splitting th stones into Arcobaleno Pacifiers. When there's only him and Yuni's ancestor, Sepira the only ones who were alive, they were unable to provide the stones with their own powers and thus, furthering split up the stones into set of Vongola Rings and set of Mare Rings. Sepira gave the Vongola Rings to Giotto, while she kept the Mare Rings to be passed down within her Famiglia. Hearing this, Yuni says that she never heard the story from her ancestor and Kawahira revealed that he and Sepira partways after their opinions differs with each other; while Sepira wanted to coexist with humans, he didn't.
   
  +
Ending the talk, Kawahira demanded for them to return the Pacifiers. Tsuna shouted that there must be another way to maintain the Tri-ni-set without sacrificing the Arcobaleno's lives. Kawahira, however, replied that there's no other option left and warned Tsuna that he is the first one on the list to become the next Arcobaleno, something that Tsuna already prepared for. At this time, Talbot arrived, carrying seven jars and told Kawahira that by using the jars, Arcobaleno Pacifiers are no longer needed. By using the flame of Night within the jars, the flame is configered in loop and by repeatedly passing through the warp holes, the seven flames of the sky would continuously accelerated, which replenishes their flames for basically half of an eternity. This method, however, requiring Bermuda to keep continuously using his Flames. Everybody become skeptical as Bermuda only lives to get his revenge on Kawahira and they doubt he would accept the role to protect the Tri-ni-set that Kawahira cares for so much. Surprisingly, however, Bermuda accepted the role as he thinks that they would have control over the Tri-ni-set away from Kawahira. Hearing this, Kawahira about to refuse, but Yuni convinced to accept as he won't live forever. Convinced that Yuni has saw the peaceful existence of Tri-ni-set, Kawahira agreed to the term as he actually believes that if there's another method without sacrficing anyone, he would entrust the Tri-ni-set to the future generations. They all gathered around the jars and filled the jars with their flames at the fullest as Kawahira promised he would remove the curse.

===Aftermath===
  +
The Arcobaleno were all imagining themselves return to their real form, only to find Lal is the only one who returned. Verde concludes that the only part of their curse that been removed is the part where they will stay as infant and will never grow, which means it would take a long time for them until the return to their original form as they'll grow like normal human does. They then went to the hospital to visit Dino and Basil. To avoid ruckus, Tsuna and Reborn went to their rooms first, However, much to their surprise, Leviathan came out from the room with syringues all over his face, which he explained that Xanxus ordered him to take it all in his place. Squalo the approached them with the rest of the Varia, reminding that he also survived thanks to Mammon's immediate action to make illusionary heart during the battle with Jager and would stay that way until they find suitable heart transplant. Byakuran, along with Bluebell destroyed the wall of the room, greeting Tsuna. He explained that he also submitted into the hospital because Mammon created his illusionary organs for 10.000.000 yen per hour. This angered Squalo and Xanxus who are annoyed by the interruption, making Xanxus, blast his gun, which they easily dodged, destroying the walls to the next rooms. From the destroyed wall, Hibari attacks and destroyed the wall across, stating that he will bite them to death for disturbing his sleep with Hibirds all over him. From across the wall that Hibari destroyed, Mukuro and his gang emerged, startled by the sudden attack that made them accidently foiling their snacks. Since all of their rooms are all connected, Reborn suggested for them to start having a pillow fight, to which they responded various fight that would injured more, causing some parts of the hospital to be destroyed. At the rooftop, Reborn thanked Tsuna to give him another chance to live, which Tsuna answers that he won't be able to do it alone without his friends. Recalling Bermuda's decision to watch over the Tri-ni-set to ensure that Arcobaleno won't be needed again, Tsuna began to doubt his intuition as he first thought they were bad guys, but Reborn assured that he was right about the being bad guys before and his intuition is one of his merits that he should be proud of. Tsuna then remembers the man in suit who had helped him before in the battle against Bermuda and asked Reborn who he actually is. Reborn asked does he really hasn't realize yet, which Tsuna replied yes though he is able to win thanks to him, as they continue to talk, ending the Curse of the Rainbow Arc.

Revision as of 14:16, 9 April 2015

Template:Arc InfoboxThe Curse of the Rainbow Arc is the 6th and final story arc of the Katekyō Hitman Reborn! series. It briefly follows the Varia's quest to acquire new battle strength and mostly the Arcobaleno's efforts to free the curse of their baby body from themselves by fighting one another in the Representative Battle of the Rainbow.

Plot Overview

Search for Flan

Secret code write

Reborn's Letter

In the Varia headquarters, Mammon has just finished bathing. He promptly receives a letter from Reborn written in the Arcobaleno Secret Code. Mammon, by shining his Pacifier's light on the message, learns that Reborn has gotten a hint regarding the Arcobaleno curse. Before Mammon finishes reading the letter, Belphegor enters the room and tells him that there was an emergency meeting. At the meeting room, Squalo announces that they will be recruiting a new Varia officer, surprising everyone in the room except Xanxus. From the memories of their battle in the future, the Varia recall that Flan was appointed as the new officer in the future. While everyone else is arguing over the topic at hand, Mammon ignores all the commotion since he's solely focusing on Reborn's letter and the fact that he might have to tell Xanxus everything about the Arcobaleno curse. Because he is deep in thought, he fails to see food being thrown at him, and as a result, the letter becomes heavily stained with food. He immediately excuses himself from the table so he can continue reading his letter. However, he cannot read the most important part of the letter due to the stain and his pride wouldn't allow him to ask other Arcobaleno for help. In the midst of his dilemma, Belphegor interrupts him and informs him that they will go to Jura, France, to retrieve Flan. Knowing that there's a Pacifier Spring in Jura that can make his Pacifier bright enough to read the message, Mammon decides to follow along. As they arrive in France, they all go to Flan's grandmother's house to ask about Flan. Flan's grandmother tells them that Flan has gone playing at the upstream of the river. The Varia heads out and arrives at their destination, but instead find the Kokuyo Junior High Gang members; Mukuro, Ken, Chikusa, and M.M), who are also looking for Flan to recruit him. While exchanging words, they notice a figure wearing a huge apple hat on the river, the figure commenting on how his grandmother's lunchboxes were horrible. Belphegor points out that the boy is Flan.

Flan as a child

Flan plays in the river until he notices Kokuyo Gang and Varia's presences. He mistakenly calls them fairies, much to their chagrin. Mukuro approaches him as he states that he is his master, but Flan calls him a pineapple fairy, and then calls the Varia tooth decay fungi. Belphegor throws his knives at Flan, who gets down and the knives hit his hat instead. However, it turns out to be an illusion. Flan tries to run away from them, but Ken tries to stop him, telling Flan to calm down, and declaring that they were on his

side. Fran then mocks his habit of saying 'Byon' after his sentences and calls him a stupid fairy and not to touch him or else he would catch his stupidity. Leviathan tries to stop him as well, but Flan states that he isn't scary at all, and ignores him in the hopes that he'll go away, shocking Leviathan. Mukuro and Squalo, along with Chikusa, stop him by pointing their weapons at him. Flan then tries to calm them down, which turns out into insulting them; Squalo about his hair, Chikusa about his skin, and Mukuro for his supposed 'pineapple reek', angering the three people further. Squalo questions if Flan recently hit his head, to which Flan answers that, according to his grandmother, he hit his head on a block of cheese, and claims that he cannot remember anything, which is his memories of the future. Knowing this, both Mukuro and Squalo turn to each other, and then attempt to shove the responsibility of taking Flan on one another. Squalo tells Mukuro that Flan is his disciple and he should be the one to take care of him, but Mukuro refuses and retorts that he's also busy and that the Varia should take Flan and cure him of his stupidity before he takes him back. Meanwhile, Mammon arrives at the Pacifier Spring and meets the other Arcobaleno, with the exception of Aria and Reborn. They then show their letters from Reborn and reveal that it is another one of Reborn's games, to gather them together to be able to read the entire message. Parts of the letters are purposely left illegible. By layering the letters on top of each other, the entire message can be shown. They then proceed to decipher Reborn's message, finding out the conclusion of Tsuna's battle with Daemon, the eight flame, and the Arcobaleno with transparent pacifier, surprising them. They feel like they have seen the Arcobaleno before, and the other Arcobaleno all have an idea as to who it may be. Back at the Kokuyo Gang and Varia's situation, they decide to use a game of ladder to settle it, with the loser taking Flan without holding any grudges. However, Flan interrupts and says that he wants to choose for himself, and pointed to one of the two groups, the chosen one being unknown.

Chrome's Transfer

Chrome transferred to Nami-Middle

Chrome transferred to Tsuna's class

Back to a day before, at night Tsuna, Reborn, and Lambo are in the bathroom, taking their baths. Reborn frightens Lambo with the size of the lathering from his shampoo, which is at least as tall as Tsuna himself. Fuuta appears when they emerge from the bathroom, handing Tsuna a glass of water. Reborn asks Bianchi for beer, but Tsuna objects on the basis of his infant status. Annoyed, Reborn goes to bed along with the others. Tsuna stays up for a bit, wondering what an Arcobaleno is and what the curse mentioned by Mammon is, having been reminded by the beer incident. The next day, Tsuna and the others are surprised to see that Chrome has been transferred to Namimori Middle School. She stands at the front of the classroom to introduce herself, but breaks down crying in Kyoko's arms. When discussing this between classes, Ryohei tells Gokudera, Tsuna, and Yamamoto that according to what Kyoko has heard from Chrome, she was kicked out of the Kokuyo Junior High Gang by Mukuro, only finding a letter telling her to leave as well as a Namimori High uniform beside it. He also mentions that when she left, Kokuyo Land was abandoned. Gokudera then comments that since Mukuro is free from jail, he doesn't need Chrome anymore. Tsuna seemed to have doubts about the representation of events. Reborn arrives and tells them that he was told by Mukuro to talk about Chrome. He was given her living expenses by Mukuro as well. Since Chrome has already arrived in Namimori, Reborn said that settling her into either Kyoko or Haru's house would be for the best. Reborn then suggests a welcoming party for Chrome at Tsuna's house, with the theme of a mimicry contest. After agreeing to this, they hear the bell for class to resume and return, but Tsuna stays behind and asks Reborn about the Arcobaleno. After dodging the question for a bit, Reborn admits that it's about time for Tsuna to know everything, after Tsuna has proven his growth. Reborn cut off that he will tell him if Tsuna wins the mimicry game at Chrome's welcoming party. At the party, Chrome thanks everyone for throwing it for her with the moral support of Haru and Kyoko. As the party goes on, Tsuna wonders why he was uneasy when Reborn said he would tell him everything. He believes it is because knowing the secret would make his daily normal life change drastically, possibly because of his Vongola Hyper Intuition. He thinks to himself that if that is true, he would be happier in igorance. When it was Tsuna's turn to mimick someone he choose Leon, and got 0 points from Leon himself, despite Reborn's thoughts.

The Dream

During his sleep, Reborn was having a dream of the time before he become an Arcobaleno. He was seen in his own room and then pointed his gun at someone who asked who he was. The mysterious man with an iron hat brought out a clear pacifier and claimed that he was gathering the "I Prescelti Sette" (World's Strongest Selected Seven). The dream was cut off when Tsuna awoke him and Reborn immediately pointed his gun at him, until Tsuna calmed him down. Reborn told him that he was having unpleasant dream or to be precise, his old memories. Reborn revealed as he went back to sleep that none of the Arcobaleno wanted to become one, but realized that Tsuna was already asleep. Reborn decided to sleep again and had a continuation of the dream, where he met the other remaining Arcobaleno, with exception of Colonello, who replaced Lal's position later on. Suddenly, however, Reborn returned to his infant form, followed by the others, except Luce and Lal, who disappeared. They came into realization that they were having the same dream. During their confusion and surprise, the man with the iron hat appeared, causing them try to attack him, but to no avail, as their movements were stopped and they couldn't move their bodies. The man explained that the reason for their immobility was that they were inside a dream, thus, they won't be able to use their Arcobaleno power. However, he assured them he didn't come to fight but to ascertain their determination, then make a proposition. The Arcobaleno were suspicious at this, until the man questioned if they wished to solve the "Curse of the Rainbow". All the Arcobaleno, sans Reborn, all answered in the affirmative. The man with the iron hat then reveals that he intended to decline the Arcobaleno's numbers by one; the strongest Arcobaleno's body would be reverted to its adult form. He further explained that they had to find a representative to fight for them. Reborn, however, says that they couldn't trust him, the other Arcobaleno agreeing with him. However, the man with the iron hat threatens to disappear and leave them in their infant body for the rest of their lives, which persuaded all the Arcobaleno to agree. The dream then ended, leaving the Arcobaleno to find their representatives.

Representative Battle of the Rainbow Prelude

Reborn awoke from his dream, much to everyone around him's relief Bianchi hugged and asked Reborn if he was all right. Reborn asked if he said anything in his sleep, but Bianchi answered that she didn't hear a thing. As Tsuna about to go to school, Reborn smiled at him and said that he had a favor to ask of him. This scared Tsuna, as he thought Reborn would ask him to do something painful for him, and he quickly ran off to school, telling Reborn to ask someone else. Once Tsuna ran away, Bianchi wondered who he got his cowardice from. Reborn thought of Nana and Iemitsu, who never run away from problems, unlike Tsuna, and then recollected that an Arcobaleno would go to the CEDEF headquarters.

At CEDEF headquarters, Iemitsu sneezed due to Reborn talking about him behind his back, but he thought that it was due to the dozens of assassins wanting to kill him, to which Lal replies that it could soon become his family in Japan and suggested for him to go back to Japan some time soon before there's was a rift between him and Tsuna, making Iemitsu think of Tsuna and Nana. Suddenly, Basil and Oregano entered the room, informing Iemitsu that there was an Arcobaleno that wanted to meet him, revealed to be Colonello, who had a favor to ask.

In Varia headquarters, Mammon asked Xanxus for a favor and much to his surprise, Xanxus knew that it was about the Arcobaleno, but stated that whether he agreed or not depended on the secret. In Kokuyo Land, Verde asked a favor from Mukuro, to which the latter commented as fun and asked Verde what the favor was. At the riverbank, Enma looked around for the cats that usually waited for him to feed them and then found them to have already eaten huge amounts of cat food from someone. Skull revealed himself and demanded help from Simon Famiglia in return for feeding the cats. Seeing a Pacifier similar to Reborn's, Enma recognized him as an Arcobaleno. Fon stood on a lamp post and wondered who he could ask a favor from.

After school, back at Tsuna's house, Tsuna was surprised to find the entire Chiavarone Famiglia gathered in front of his house and is approached by Dino and Romario the former being called by Reborn for a favor as well. Reborn finally told them that the favor he asked them to do is to fight for him. Dino and Tsuna express their surprise, but Reborn explains his dream as well as the curse the Arcobaleno were inflicted with, and that his infant form wasn't his real form. He also proudly states that his real self was "super cool".

Later on, Skull arrives at the Simon Famiglia's house along with Enma to request their help, but they misunderstand him as requesting them to take care of him. As such, Adelheid orders Enma to get him ready for dinner at their place and to tuck him into bed wherever his home was.

In the CEDEF headquarters, Lal Mirch and Colonello tell Iemitsu's subordinates and Iemitsu, respectively, that they wanted to free the curse from each other. Iemitsu comments that if it was Lal, the CEDEF members would help her whole-heartedly. However, Iemitsu also informs Colonello that "that man" that has been watching over the Vongola has gone rogue. They both contemplate the possibility of an Arcobaleno recruiting him.

At the Giglio Nero Famiglia's mansion, the present Byakuran and Six Funeral Wreaths await Yuni's arrival from the Sky Pacifier. When the Pacifier starts glowing with Sky Flames, the present Gamma, Nosaru, and Tazaru gape in amazement. Byakuran reveals himself and informs them that the Sky Pacifier has found a new owner. The Pacifier then glows even brighter and flies to the forest, where the Yuni from ten years in the future catches it.

Yuni and Gamma shares a brief emotional reunion until Byakuran interrupts them, stating to Gamma that he would make her cry. Angered, Gamma summons his box weapon and was about to attack Byakuran, but Yuni stops him, thanking Byakuran for coming for her, much to surprise of Gamma, Nosaru, and Tazaru. Byakuran returns the gesture and reveals that Aria has predicted the representative battle to remove the curse of the Arcobaleno, telling them that Aria has retired and gave her position to Yuni so Yuni could be free from the curse instead of her, the Sky Arcobaleno curse being their short lifespan. This upsets Gamma even though he understood Aria's reason and was soon angry again, questioning why Byakuran and the Six Funeral Wreaths had to be Yuni's representatives, to which Byakuran replies that because they were the best partners, continuing to tell them that they needed to go to Japan since that was the place where the representative battle would take place.

Back at Japan, Tsuna and Reborn visit Dino at the hotel but then Tsuna was taken away by Belphegor, who brought him to Xanxus. Xanxus states that he would crush him in the representative battle, much to Tsuna's horror and fear that Varia would also participates in the battle as Mammon's representatives. Xanxus suddenly blows the roof of their room, demanding for someone to come out. From the roof, a man with the same hat as the man with the iron hat reveals himself, saying that he forgot the Varia's room number and introduces himself as Wonomichi, the planner of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow and the man with the iron hat's messenger, stating that he came to explain the rules of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow that would take place in four days, as well as giving them their wristwatches, a crucial component in the battle. After Tsunomichi finishes explaining the rules, he explains them to all the other Arcobaleno.

The next day, in Japan, the CEDEF arrive. While Tsuna is exasperated by his father's appearance and delighted by Basil's, Byakuran suddenly arrives and proposes to Tsuna that they form an alliance in the upcoming battle royale of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow.

Eve of Representative Battle of the Rainbow

Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, and Dino came over to Tsuna's house to discuss regarding Yuni's decision to choose Byakuran as her representative and the alliance that offered by Byakuran. They all disagreed for an alliance since they're still wary of Byakuran, but Reborn agreed to it since Byakuran's power would be useful for their team. When they thought about the remaining two representatives needed for their team, Gokudera suggested Hibari, but unfortunately, Hibari had turned down Reborn's invitation to join the team because he had 'severe case of hives' ever since the battle with Daemon. Dino then suggested Enma since he is strong, though in Reborn's view, Enma doesn't fulfill his high standard. While Dino tries to persuade Hibari to join them, Tsuna and Reborn went to Enma at the riverbank to ask him to join them, only to find him with Skull. Skull revealed that Enma is his representative, much to Tsuna's shock. Enma suggested to form an alliance, which Tsuna agreed to, but both Skull and Reborn against it, much Tsuna's dismay. Elsewhere, each team prepared their own preparation for the upcoming Representative battle.

The First Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow

Tsuna awoke and hurried up to school since he was nervous because it was the first day of The Representative Battle of the Rainbow. Though, once he met his friends at school and act normally like they usually did, he felt at ease. After school, however, the wristwatches announced the battle to start. Tsuna quickly went outside and was surprised by a sudden explosion that turned out to be caused by none other than his father, Iemitsu, who becoming his first opponent.

Tsunayoshi Sawada vs Iemitsu Sawada

  • Winner: Iemitsu.

Reborn and Dino found Tsuna unconsciouss after defeated by Iemitsu, and he decided to form an alliance with Colonello's Team so in return, Tsuna's Boss watch is not destroyed, thus, allowing Tsuna and his team to continue pariticipating the battle.

Enma Kozato & Skull vs Varia Members

In some abandoned buildings during his way back home with Skull, Enma's wrist watch announced the battle to begin and they were ambushed by Varia members (except Mammon and Xanxus).

  • Result: Draw. Skull saved Enma from Varia's finishing blow until the battle time was over, leaving none of them won the battle.

Wonomichi revealed that the present that Checker Face had mentioned before is that the Arcobaleo who transformed into babies able to change back to their true form and enter the battle for three minutes. After Varia leaves, Enma tried to convince Adelheid to become Skull's representative along with other Simon Guardians, which she agreed since she had witnessed Skull saved Enma's life.

The Second Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow

Team Reborn & Team Yuni vs Team Verde vs Team Colonello

When Tsuna and his team visited Yuni to discuss Verde's team, the wrist watches announced the start of the second Representative Battle of the Rainbow, and realized that Mukuro and his team have come.

  • Result: Team Collonelo broke their alliance with Team Reborn after Tsuna refused to leave Team Yuni.
  • Team Yuni was eliminated after their Boss wrist watch was destroyed by Colonnello's Maximum Rifle when Byakuran protected Tsuna.

Team Fon vs Team Mammon

Hibari and Fon went to the hotel where Dino and the Varia are staying upon Hibari's insistence to fight Dino. When they arrived, they encountered Varia shortly after the wrist watch announced the start of the second battle of Representative Battle of the Rainbow.

  • Result: Hibari destroyed his own Boss wrist watch because the battle time finished before he could defeat Xanxus, eliminating Team Fon from the Representative Battle.

The Arrival of the Eighth Team

Two minutes ago before the battle finished, Basil was observing Team Skull who was not challenged by any team. Suddenly, however, he sensed Flames from the house and when he checked what happened, he witnessed all members of Team Skull easily defeated by the Vindice led by Arcobaleno with clear pacifier, Bermuda von Vichtenstein.

  • Result: Bermuda and his team stole Team Skull's wrist watches and announced they will participate in the Representative Battle of the Rainbow as the eighth team.

Shortly after the announcement of the result of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow, each remaining teams were ambushed by Vindice who didn't wear any wrist watch while the Arcobaleno were having a meeting regarding Bermuda, making the previous rule of the Representative Battle invalid.

  • Result: Team Colonnello was eliminated from the battle after their Boss wrist watch was destroyed when Iemitsu protecting Nana from the Vindice's attack.

The Third Day of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow

Not long after the Vindice's sudden assaults, right at 00.00 a.m, the wrist watches announced the start of the third Representative Battle of the Rainbow. Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Reborn immediately went to the playground to avoid the neighbors to be involved with the battle. There, they encountered Mukuro who was then followed by his team with Ken and Chikusa participated in the battle again by using the remaining spare watches. Before they could start, however, three Vindices appeared, leaving both teams no choice but to form a truce and temporarily fight together to beat the Vindice.

  • Winner: Team Reborn & Team Verde

Bermuda and Jager appeared shortly after Tsuna defeated the last Vindice, Jaque. Bermuda immediately gave Reborn his invitation to join his team. When Reborn refused the offer, Bermuda forcefully sucked him into his warp hole and send him to the Vendicare Prison, saying that he won't be able to refuse once he knew the truth. However, Tsuna, who was trying to prevent Reborn being transported, also ended up being sucked into the warp hole, ending up in Vendicare Prison along with Reborn and discovered the mystery behind the Arcobaleno.

The Secret of the Arcobaleno

Bermuda and Jager confronted Tsuna and Reborn and told them to let go of their wrist watches and took them to a special room that will prevent anyone to hear their conversation, making Reborn confirmed that Bermuda is not allied with Checker Face.

Bermuda explained that the Arcobaleno are human sacrfices that Checker Face prepared to protect the Arcobaleno pacifiers. The pacifiers are cursed treasures that must never be destroyed and he selected seven most powerful people at the generation and make them Arcobaleno to protect it since no normal human being able to protect the pacifiers. However, the curse that inflicted on the Arcobaleno resulting a side effect for the Arcobaleno that will endangered the pacifiers. To prevent this, there's a pass-on pacifiers through generation to generation, either through contracting job or Representative Battle. Bermuda revealed that the Representative of the Rainbow is a trap that Checker Face set up to choose the next strongest seven and make them the next generation Arcobaleno and he had no intention to free the current Arcobaleno from their curse. Reborn questioned what will happened to the previous Arcobaleno, to which Bermuda answered that they will be dismissed, but most of the Arcobaleno who had their pacifiers removed ended up dead or even if one does manage to survive they only have a cursed life, becoming a Vindice that desires nothing but revenge.

Bermuda expressed his desire to kill Checker Face by winning the Representative Battle of the Rainbow since the sole moment where Checker Face could be killed is the moment when he summoned the winning team to his side, but to do that, he need Reborn's help. Reborn asked why out of all Arcobaleno he chose him. Bermuda answered that Tsuna's miracilous growth through Reborn's guidance is what made him realized that he is different from the other Arcobaleno. He revealed further that he used to be an Arcobaleno that deceived by Checker Face, but able to resist when his flame is being taken by him and refill the empty pacifier with a new flame, Flame of Night and taught other former Arcobaleno with the same desires for revenge how to use the flame, creating the organization that guard the mafia law, Vindice. Reborn asked why guardians of mafia, and Bermuda explained that Checker Face is the one who administrates Tri-ni-Set and through he prediction of certain shaman, he able to know that the ones who will received Vongola Rings and Mare Rings would be Giotto and Yuni's ancestor, Sepira, the mafia bosses who found Vongola and Giglionero. He thought that if they watch over the Tri-ni-Set, they able to reach Checker Face. Reborn then asked what will happened to the current Arcobaleno is Checker Face is killed. Bermuda revealed that they will die along with everyone that involved with the Arcobaleno including Yuni, Lal, and the Vindice since killing Checker Face means destroying the Arcobaleno system itself. Hearing this, Tsuna declared that they are wrong and he won't let them win the Repsentative Battle. Reborn decided to follow Tsuna's will, rejecting Bermuda's offer to join him.

With the invitation rejected, Jager stated that he won't let them leave. Tsuna went into Hyper Dying Will Mode and fought Jager. However, Jager easily overpowered Tsuna within a matter of seconds. Before he could deliver another blow, Bermuda ordered him to stop, telling him that now Reborn will realize that Tsuna won't stand a chance against him and won't do something stupid such as following Tsuna's will again. Bermuda told him to reconsider his offer and he will wait his answer until the fourth day battle. Before they left, Bermuda warned him that whether he reject or accept his invitation, he will go to hell either way. Not seeing any possibility that Tsuna will win against Jager, Reborn told Tsuna that there's no need for him to die for the sake of the Arcobaleno. This frustrated Tsuna since usually he would punch him if he thought something as cowardly as that.

Both of them ended up at the play ground with Yuni, Verde, Fon, Reborn, M.M and Flan waiting for them. They found out that the injured Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ken, and Chikusa are taken to either hospital or Kokuyo Land. They were then shown the result of the third day battle and found that Mammon used his remaining present time to escape the Vindice with illusion. Reborn told them to call Mammon since he wanted to discuss what Bermuda had told him. M.M demanded Tsuna to explain what Bermuda said to him, but Tsuna ignored her and ran off, wondering what he should do to help Reborn.

Tsuna's Plan

Tsuna goes home and finds that his dad, Iemitsu, is injured. After Tsuna expresses concern about his father's wounds, Iemitsu tells him to do his best for the Representative Battle and rest well until the next one begins. Tsuna gets ready for bed, troubled by the day's events.

Meanwhile, Reborn tells the other Arcobaleno what Bermuda told him, shocking them all. Colonnello comments that he has been feeling worse than usual recently and Reborn says the same. Reborn reveals that Bermuda wanted him as an ally and that he thinks that they should get rid of Checker Face and the Arcobaleno system. However, Mammon protests violently, saying that he wants to live longer. Verde agrees and states that he doesn't want to die as a consequence of someone else's project. When Colonnello discovers Lal Mirch could die as well, he goes against the idea. Agitatedly, Mammon orders Reborn to think of other ways of survival, but Reborn replies that there are no other ways.

At the Sawada residence, Tsuna reflects on how Reborn was always there whenever he was in a pinch and needed advice. Tsuna goes downstairs to get a glass of water. When he reaches the kitchen, he finds Lambo drinking Basil's strawberry juice. When Tsuna asks him why, Lambo says that his juice was grape flavored and he wondered what Basil's strawberry juice would taste like. Tsuna protests, but Lambo ignores him and drinks anyways. Afterwards, Lambo fills up Basil's juice bottle with his own juice to make up for the difference. Tsuna objects, saying that the taste would be different. Lambo drinks from Basil's bottle to test it out and exclaims that it is good. After putting the bottle back in the fridge, Lambo hurriedly sneaks back up to his room. Tsuna wishes that his own problem go away if he filled up the missing juice. When he thinks about his words, Tsuna realizes he has to fill up the missing part.

Tsuna makes a call to Vongola Ninth and asks for his help in contacting a person. After obtaining the necessary information, Tsuna flies to a house in a forest and enters, saying that it has been a long time. Later, Tsuna expresses his thanks, informs the person that he will focus on the Representative War, and leaves. In Kokuyo Land, Mukuro notices Tsuna, who wants to talk to him. At Namimori Hospital, Tsuna approaches Byakuran and Enma and talks to both of them. After doing so, Tsuna flies to the Varia's hotel and asks Xanxus to lend him a hand. Xanxus stares at him and Tsuna looks back at him with resolution.

After making the phone call to Vongola Ninth, Tsuna visited Talbot. Talbot told Tsuna that he came to Japan because he had a bad feeling about the Representative Battle. As Tsuna repeated the words of Bermuda to Talbot, Talbot commented that Bermuda is a tough guy. Tsuna told Talbot his idea to replace an Arcobaleno's removed Flame. Tsuna further elaborated by saying that Checker Face removes the Flames of the current Arcobaleno to create the new generation and that Bermuda had survived as a Vindice by forcing the Flame of Night, a Flame made of hatred and vindictiveness, into his empty Pacifier. Tsuna suggested that if the correct type of Flame is injected into the empty Pacifiers based on their owners, there might be a chance of the Arcobaleno surviving. Talbot compared Tsuna's idea to using blood as a transfusion for anaemic people. Tsuna questioned his idea's probability and after much contemplating, Talbot replied that it might be possible and disclosed that he had been doing research on the Pacifiers, finding them to be similar to both the Vongola Rings and Mare Rings. Talbot explained further, saying that what is transferred between Arcobaleno generations is not the Pacifier's soul but rather, the energy that is contained. Thus, even after the Flame is removed, if the right type of Flame is injected before the soul dies completely, the Arcobaleno's life could be prolonged. Tsuna interrupted excitedly but Talbot continued on and remarked that the process would not be so simple because the changing of the generations is also linked to the pacifier's lifespan. Talbot said that it is still worth a try because nothing is known yet and informed Tsuna clearly that if Bermuda were to win the Representative Battle, then all would be lost. Talbot told Tsuna to defeat Bermuda and stated that Tsuna is the only one who can accomplish this. Tsuna responded with a resounding yes.

Tsuna's flashback ends when Reborn appears and notifies Tsuna about the outcome of the Arcobaleno meeting, saying that they had a big fight due to their differences and a conclusion was not reached. Tsuna asks if Reborn is seriously thinking of becoming Bermuda's ally and Reborn replies that if he has to die, he might as well destroy the Arcobaleno system in the process. Tsuna requests that Reborn gets on his shoulder, as he has something to tell the latter. Tsuna flies to Namimori Shrine. When they reach the shrine, Reborn asks why they went all the way there. Tsuna replies that he does not want to be discovered by other students and states that he is skipping school. Reborn comments that it has been a long time since that happened and asks Tsuna if he thinks that Reborn, as his home tutor, will allow his skipping of school. Hearing this, Tsuna shouts at Reborn agitatedly, wondering how Reborn could say that. Tsuna recalls the day when he first met Reborn and how Reborn showed up out of nowhere, claiming to be a tutor for training Tsuna to be a Mafia boss. Tsuna says that he felt like the days after had been a mess and rattles off things that Reborn had forced him to do that turned his school life into a disaster in the process. However, even after going through all of that, Tsuna says that in the end, he had fun and that he even felt happy to have Reborn as a tutor. Tsuna says that he was outraged when Reborn said that he never expected to die a decent death and angrily questions if Reborn is always thinking sad thoughts whenever he is by the former's side, even when he was having fun. Tsuna exclaims that Reborn is a failure as a home tutor if he has been behaving this way the whole time. Tsuna informs Reborn that this time, it is his turn to teach Reborn. Getting emotional, Tsuna is unable to complete his sentence and slumps onto the ground. After a few moments, Tsuna tells Reborn with conviction that he is not going to let Reborn die.

Tsuna finally gets his feelings off his chest, only to find out that Reborn is sleeping beside him. Tsuna feels incredulous that Reborn fell asleep while he was addressing such important concerns. Tsuna tries to rouse Reborn but stops himself in time after he thinks of the consequences. Tsuna wonders how much had Reborn heard before he slept. As Tsuna heads home, it is revealed that Reborn is actually pretending to be asleep. Reborn, with a satisfied grin on his face, saying that Tsuna does as he pleases, but then said that impossible things is still impossible.

Tsuna visits Yamamoto and Gokudera at the hospital and notifies them of the same matter that he had already told Mukuro, Byakuran, Enma and Xanxus. Gokudera is upset that he did not get to know first and Tsuna explains that it is because Tsuna is so dependent on his guardian and sees them as his family that he just natrually assumes that they will help him out. Tsuna apologies but Gokudera brushes it off, exclaiming proudly that they are a family. After hearing Tsuna out, Yamamoto and Gokudera tells him that they will support him and to leave the matter to them. As Tsuna goes off to inform Dino, Yamamoto comments that it is the first time he has seen Tsuna being calm although he is about to be facing a decisive battle and somehow, that calmness is infectious.

Tsuna finds Dino and Hibari in a forest and is shocked to find that they have been battling since the battle against Team Mammon. Dino reassures Tsuna that he will be taking part in tomorrow's Representative Battle but is refuted by Hibari, who says harshly that it is impossible as Dino is going to be bitten to death by him. Tsuna says he has something important to tell them and his serious demeanor made them listen. Dino is shocked at the power of Team Bermuda after hearing the events that happened to Reborn.

Kyoko, Haru, Chrome and I-Pin have finished making the good luck charms and are on their way to Tsuna's house. Bianchi is waiting for them outside and brings them in. There is a huge crowd and Haru identifies some of the men as Dino's subordinates. Bianchi explains that there are many more others and that they were all summoned here. Haru questions the motive for gathering them and Bianchi comments that these are pretty scary people and summoning them is not a feat that just anyone could manage. This made them wondering who was the one who summoned them.

Inside the house, Tsuna is speaking with the fighting forces that he approached, pleading for them to fight together. He explained everything that Talbot had told him and his experience from his previous fight with Jager and the necessity for them to work together to defeat the Vindice, declaring that this time they should be the ones to make the first move.

At the afternoon, Reborn approaches Tsuna, telling him to return the Boss watch since he decided to pull out from the battle and said it's impossible for Tsuna to defeat the Vindice even with all the team join forces together. This enraged Tsuna and challenged Reborn to take the Boss fight by force if he wants to, entering Hyper Dying Will Mode and unleashed great amount of his flames, which impressed Reborn but saying that it's still not enough to defeat Bermuda or Jager. Reborn continues to say that his mission is to make him a splendid Tenth Vongola Boss and it would be pointless if he dies. However, Tsuna corrected him that Vongola Primo would surely say that someone that abandoned their friends cannot be entrsuted with the fate of Vongola, telling him that someone unwilling to risk death for the sake of their friends is not qualify to become Vongola Decimo, surprising Reborn. Seeing Tsuna's determination, Reborn admitted that he wants to live longer and wants to die without any regret as he has gained desire to see Tsuna to grow more, requesting him to keep him alive, finally agree with Tsuna's plan, much to the latter's relief. The other Arcobaleno revealed themselves, also agreeing with Tsuna's plan to defeat Bermuda and his team.

He and Jager appeared in front of Reborn's team, asking for Reborn's answer of his invitation. Reborn refused once again, saying that he cannot accept Bermuda's way. With his invitation rejected, Bermuda ordered Jager to finish them off, bidding them good bye. However, it turns out that the team members are only Decoy Puppet. Reborn explained that they have predicted Bermuda able to sense their flames and precense, so they have Irie, Spanner, and Verde to create decoy puppets that able to emit flames and heartbeat to fool them.

The Truth of the Tri-ni-set

Checker Face revealed himself directly, much to the shock of everybody present. Realizing that they have known the truth behind the Representative battle of the Rainbow as well as the secret behind Arcobaleno Pacifiers, Checker Face confirmed that it was true. When they questioned his presence, Checker Face revealed that he merely hiding his presence with Segno Ring as he opened his mask, revealing himself as Kawahira, surprising them. Kawahira then unleashed his flames, showing that they are on entirely different level to defeat him as they are just normal humans. He revealed that he belong to a special species who had lived on Earth before human ever born whose duty is to protect the planet Earth. However, over the only ones of these species who are still alive on present day are only him and Yuni.

He explained that the Tri-ni-set originally were not set of 21 rings they all know but a seven stones. When his species were still about ten people alive, they gave their flames to the seven stones. However, as their members died one by one until only five of them remains, the decided to borrow the humans' powers and thus, splitting th stones into Arcobaleno Pacifiers. When there's only him and Yuni's ancestor, Sepira the only ones who were alive, they were unable to provide the stones with their own powers and thus, furthering split up the stones into set of Vongola Rings and set of Mare Rings. Sepira gave the Vongola Rings to Giotto, while she kept the Mare Rings to be passed down within her Famiglia. Hearing this, Yuni says that she never heard the story from her ancestor and Kawahira revealed that he and Sepira partways after their opinions differs with each other; while Sepira wanted to coexist with humans, he didn't.

Ending the talk, Kawahira demanded for them to return the Pacifiers. Tsuna shouted that there must be another way to maintain the Tri-ni-set without sacrificing the Arcobaleno's lives. Kawahira, however, replied that there's no other option left and warned Tsuna that he is the first one on the list to become the next Arcobaleno, something that Tsuna already prepared for. At this time, Talbot arrived, carrying seven jars and told Kawahira that by using the jars, Arcobaleno Pacifiers are no longer needed. By using the flame of Night within the jars, the flame is configered in loop and by repeatedly passing through the warp holes, the seven flames of the sky would continuously accelerated, which replenishes their flames for basically half of an eternity. This method, however, requiring Bermuda to keep continuously using his Flames. Everybody become skeptical as Bermuda only lives to get his revenge on Kawahira and they doubt he would accept the role to protect the Tri-ni-set that Kawahira cares for so much. Surprisingly, however, Bermuda accepted the role as he thinks that they would have control over the Tri-ni-set away from Kawahira. Hearing this, Kawahira about to refuse, but Yuni convinced to accept as he won't live forever. Convinced that Yuni has saw the peaceful existence of Tri-ni-set, Kawahira agreed to the term as he actually believes that if there's another method without sacrficing anyone, he would entrust the Tri-ni-set to the future generations. They all gathered around the jars and filled the jars with their flames at the fullest as Kawahira promised he would remove the curse.

Aftermath

The Arcobaleno were all imagining themselves return to their real form, only to find Lal is the only one who returned. Verde concludes that the only part of their curse that been removed is the part where they will stay as infant and will never grow, which means it would take a long time for them until the return to their original form as they'll grow like normal human does. They then went to the hospital to visit Dino and Basil. To avoid ruckus, Tsuna and Reborn went to their rooms first, However, much to their surprise, Leviathan came out from the room with syringues all over his face, which he explained that Xanxus ordered him to take it all in his place. Squalo the approached them with the rest of the Varia, reminding that he also survived thanks to Mammon's immediate action to make illusionary heart during the battle with Jager and would stay that way until they find suitable heart transplant. Byakuran, along with Bluebell destroyed the wall of the room, greeting Tsuna. He explained that he also submitted into the hospital because Mammon created his illusionary organs for 10.000.000 yen per hour. This angered Squalo and Xanxus who are annoyed by the interruption, making Xanxus, blast his gun, which they easily dodged, destroying the walls to the next rooms. From the destroyed wall, Hibari attacks and destroyed the wall across, stating that he will bite them to death for disturbing his sleep with Hibirds all over him. From across the wall that Hibari destroyed, Mukuro and his gang emerged, startled by the sudden attack that made them accidently foiling their snacks. Since all of their rooms are all connected, Reborn suggested for them to start having a pillow fight, to which they responded various fight that would injured more, causing some parts of the hospital to be destroyed. At the rooftop, Reborn thanked Tsuna to give him another chance to live, which Tsuna answers that he won't be able to do it alone without his friends. Recalling Bermuda's decision to watch over the Tri-ni-set to ensure that Arcobaleno won't be needed again, Tsuna began to doubt his intuition as he first thought they were bad guys, but Reborn assured that he was right about the being bad guys before and his intuition is one of his merits that he should be proud of. Tsuna then remembers the man in suit who had helped him before in the battle against Bermuda and asked Reborn who he actually is. Reborn asked does he really hasn't realize yet, which Tsuna replied yes though he is able to win thanks to him, as they continue to talk, ending the Curse of the Rainbow Arc.
