Hayate The Combat Butler Chapter 508: Even Tonegawa Would Hesitate -- Review and Synopsis

By -
Maria-san, Maria-san! Cleaning stop!
Synopsis: Hayate blackmails Kananiwa into letting him decide what the final orientation would be since he has a recording of her collaborating with those wannabe terrorists. Also, she's just 28. Wait... I'm older than her? Umm... nevermind... moving on. So Hayate calls up everyone except Nagi (who is still fast asleep) and has everyone play cards in order to decide the winner -- since it's Las Vegas and all. Anyway, Izumi has an awesome poker face and Hina's good at everything... including cards. She declares that she CAN NOT LOSE! Anywayz... end of chapter. 

Am I the only one who likes Kananiwa? I think I'll do some Kananiwa fanart next time. Btw, this scene is totally doujin bait.
Review: After last week's excitement, things are moving slower in this chapter. I guess that "there is a bomb between them" thing was just a setup for something that'll become important later... or buried in obscurity. Classic Hata style. Also, mai waifu is not present so Iyam disappoint.

Also, once again, Hayate affirms Nagi's "amazing luck," while Hayate himself has terrible luck... no, I'm totally NOT implying anything here ;).

Anyway, Hayate was rather amusing here, but there a few things that have me wondering:

 1. Why'd he choose a game of chance? He either wants to lose really badly or he's got a fail-safe plan for winning -- and he'll still lose anyway.

2. Why is he interested in Kananiwa's King's Jewel and why did he ask her to participate?

3. He was totally lying when he said that Nagi didn't want to participate given the determination she's shown to win. For Nagi, it's Hayate's life on the line after all (even though that was a really stupid reason Ruri gave her.)

Anyway, with that aside, let's move on to the next chapter in a hurry, shall we?





Not even interested in guessing who is being hinted at in the cliffhanger. Hata might just decide that it's time to bring in Ruri Tsugumi again.

Fanart Corner: This one is a request. It's not quite finished yet, but the colored pens version has color at least.

    There is a brilliant theory on the internet: Hayate will just assume he is playing the regular "Old Lady" game and he will get the Joker because of his invincible bad luck.

      ZOMG! That really IS brilliant. His bad luck is one of the universal laws of the hayateverse after all. With that said, we'd have to assume that Hayate's bad luck is based on his personal perception.

Cover of Countdown-Playback for this week just to make sure you get the message. There's really no need for a synopsis this time. You can find the full chapter scanlated (by me) in the comments section of the penultimate chapter review . I wish you happiness in the future which I can never be a part of, Nagi, my one true love It's a little bit different this time since it's really the last chapter. Therefore, I'll be interspersing some fan-made stuff including music videos and pics from some fans of the series that I'm good friends with throughout this write-up. With that said, enjoy and be prepared for some long ramblings... I will warn you right now, this will be far from an objective review. There are many things to complain about in this final chapter -- I choose to ignore them, so walk away and close this page right now if you find that this is unacceptable. Hina’s Confession It’s nice that Hata took the time to have HIna make a final confe

Old... Chiharu looks old. Synopsis: Lemme give ya the quick version.   Nagi and Hayate are doing a little souvenir/window shopping in Vegas. Everyone is enjoying their time in Vegas now since the competition is over. Anywayz, Hina is contemplating her next move coz she has sooo NOT given up on Hayate-kun just yet. For her, the debt is gone, but with Hayate still being a butler, the status quo hasn't changed... no! This is her chance to act! This is what she wished for isn't it? What should she doooooo? At least I'm not the only one who thinks Kananiwa is cute. Definitely NOT Dolly. Meanwhile it seems the last portion of the trip will be at the grand canyon, but it was supposed to be part of the orientation. Anyway, things happen and Kananiwa proposes one more game at the grand canyon and Yukiji asks Kananiwa for one more chance at this game and everyone sort of agrees. Hayate's worried that he might lose the prize money coz of this. Nagi sa
