Ok, so I didn't make a post about episodes 150 and 151 because it's been a mad week.
I'll talk about it now anyway. Contrasting with episode 149's hardcore battling, 150 and 151 were mostly calm episodes. Not much action, specially because the real action was psychological. The episodes mostly dealt with Tsuna and everyone's feelings towards loosing against Reborn, and gave us some insight on their states of mind. They had respectively a feel of "lost battle" and "calm before the storm". Finally, we learnt of Verde's plan of obtaining the Vongola Rings to power his newly developed box weapons is revealed and the other Arcobaleno judge him as a traitor, coupled with some ass-kicking in episode 151
So, moving up to episode 152. The Arcobaleno dispatch the last of Verde's minions, but he's got more in store for them. He manages to capture them using a substance similar to the non-trennisete radiation. It ends up being just Tsuna and company versus his perfected box weapon prototypes. Normally, they would be fine, but let's just suppose that Verde sucked most of ours friends' dying will flame out of them? Yeah, that's tough.
Tsuna then realises he must carry out his resolution by himself and rekindles his flame by deciding to protect all of his friends. All of the guardians also get back their power, and they manage to stop the radiation incapacitating the Arcobaleno. All's fine? Not quite, because Verde makes the pods they were strapped to self-destruct.
Of course, there's no way charactres will be killed during a filler arc, so they're ok, managing to escape with one of Viper's illusions. The episode finally ends with the combined forces of the guardians and the arcobaleno crushing Verde's box weapons and himself. Only to discover that it was actually a robot of him(?!)
Argh! Why does this always happen when the antagonist is a scientific genius? Cough, anyways... I enjoyed the episode. If they wanted it to be dramatic, they could've done better, but oh well, you can't have everything. The episode was really about Tsuna rediscovering his resolution, and what it means to him. That aspect was definitely achieved.
