I wish Hayato had won, but he made the right decision. I hope that he's gonna get that ring back some day. :<

OMG what a retard. Victory is his, yet he sits and talks with him self, then slowly goes to get the ring, talks to himself, looks at the ring etc. Just get the GD ring and get the f*** out. It's like watching a bad 80s horror movie with morons that obviously couldn't do the right thing if the world depended on it.

I'm dissapointed with the end of this ep but oh well. THey wanted to get his resolve across and to do that they had to use this type of outcome. Let's hope for better on some of the next fights. /rant off

Gokudera showed some mad skills to win this fight, but that psycho Bel kid completely pissed me off this time x_x

Those judges sure have some messed up rules, something tells me there's more to these matches than meets the eye.

Gokudera was a straight up beast in this ep!!
The judges are on the side of Varia. I'm hoping someone from Vongola beats the shit out of them before it's over!!

Couldn't be said better. I completely agree with you. It was kinda like mr Octopus Head fought just for a fight, not for a ring... So when he finally 'won', the ring probably looked for him like some insignificant formality. It was like he completely forgot why he came to fight. The F****** RING! This is damn serious...

ahh man i say this was a solid victory for Hayate, its a shame that Bel actually won in the end. But its great that he wanted to stay with his friends and live instead of dying.

In any case i wonder who this "mist" person is. Now finally Hibari arrives on scene, this is getting more interesting.

I love it when reborn smirks or lets off that little grin like that, like when tsuna started mentioning his family as being his greatest accet. He is acknowledging the fact that he has succeeded as a hitman tutor and that tsuna has shown growth and change finally.

Hayato clearly won the match and yet is screwed out of the victory all because that blonde dick couldn't accepted his defeat. I'm disappointed about it but at least Hayato will fight another day.

Plus that rule about taking the other opponents ring to win the match was BS. There was no such rule when Ryohei won his fight, these judges most be up to something.

To say the truth, Gokudera is an idiot, he deserved win, but it isn't sorry for going slowly get the ring while the school was about to explode

Yay, he's okay. For a second, I thought Gokudera went out with a bang literally. Good thing he didn't though and kicked his opponent's ass.

He came to see fireworks. Nice. That's the storm ring for ya. Tsuna and the others are proud of him and I think he should be as well :D

Ah that lost was so plot forced... it's sad to see character that I like "lose" just so all remaining fights have to be won.

Generally Gokudera won and it's not his fault how it all ended but rather the author's.

Really, even though I started to enjoy the series, there is always something to be disappointed about.

Same thing went with Lambo fight. What was the point of summoning 25 years old Lambo to end that fight that way? Sure it was epic but served no purpose.

Well at least this lost was used as kind of character development for Gokudera, as so far he was ready to "blow himself up" (sacrifice his life) for Tsuna. While that is something that should be respected, he would do so without considering his life at all, which isn't normal.

Hayato using his brain turned out to be a really good improvement for him lol. Also love seeing Tsuna's character development and his mental strength growing each episode.

Wow didnt expect Gokudera to lose at all, eventhough in a dumb way. Guess someone has to take some Ls to make it competitive

Explain something to me: how did Bel survive the explosion? If the "varia" only caught him after the fight was over. THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE, THEY STRESSED THAT THEY WERE BOTH GOING TO DIE IN THE EXPLOSION.
BEL SANK THE EXPLOSION BY HIMSELF AND SURVIVED.
The author forced a lot in this scene, just to give development to the character and show that Gokudera started to value his life, however what a depressing ending to the episode.
If even Bel didn't die, Gokudera could stay there in the library and endure the explosion.
Didn't anyone understand that?
Anime is full of conveniences
