This scene!!!! 💜☁️💜
This is the first time we actually see TYL!Hibari Kyoya. And this one panel brings with it a whole entire slew of my headcanons!!!
Because Kyoya said 'It's been a long time Namimori' which immediately makes me think that he left Namimori quite a while ago. Perhaps several years. Which brings me a whole slew of questions to be answered!
Why did TYL!Hibari say this?
When did he leave?
Did he leave willingly or did he feel forced to go?
Was he just on a mission, or does Foundation require that he permanently be away from Namimori to do his resesarch himself?
Where was he? Was he in Italy? If so, does that mean he happened to witness the fall of Vongola's Italian branch?
Why did he come back? Obviously to protect the teenage Vongola, but did he have a personal reason? An ulterior motive?
Was this the excuse he needed to get back to Namimori, or... Would he rather avoid tending to Namimori in person?
OR!! Is all this moot and he's just being dramatic? Like he was gone for a week on some random retrieval/beat em up mission and he's bitter about it?
Do consider just a few panels before or after this TYL!Yamamoto claimed this when talking about Kyoya: 'I was just on a mission myself, so I have no idea where that guy is.' All of which, to me, indicates that Kyoya moves about frequently. Within or outside of Namimori's borders.
I have headcanons for allll of these questions, but I'm also gonna let the community participate in this! Reblog this with your ideas, or tell me your headcanons in the comments! I will try to reply or interact with everyone as well as reblog this myself with my own headcanons!! :D
Edit: Finally found the Panel of TYL!Yamamoto I mentioned!
