Hayate The Combat Butler Chapter 509: The Chapter Title Is A Mouthful -- Review and Synopsis

By -

Dat chapter title though...


Synopsis: Awright... real quickly, Hayate unleashes his trump card -- as correctly predicted by some smart person on the internet who is not me. He channels his bad luck to gain an advantage in the game of Reverse Old Maid. Everyone else follow suit, but eventually, it all boils down to Hayate vs Hina. Hina's final claim at "bad luck" is that the guy she likes won't ever notice her feelings, but eventually, it seems Hayate has won.. or so it seems. Cliffhata time!

Don't think she's actually lost just yet. This could have gone the other way based on ths cliffhanger... and Hata's track record.
Review: Hmm... interesting chapter, but still no sign of mai waifu... so meh! This looks like it might be the penultimate chapter to end the Level 5 arc -- as it's known in the manga. Still, there are quite a few things unresolved such as Ruri Tsugumi's involvement, as well as what's going on with Nagi? I don't buy for one moment that she just up and gave up on the competition since as I've mentioned before, it's "Hayate's life" and not the 150 million at stake for her.

Anyway, I guess there's room to throw out some wild speculations here.

Speculation Corner: Let's see... Hina's lose isn't enough to produce an explosion of negative emotions. She decides to confess to Hayate. Hayate is about to accept or does accept when Nagi storms in -- boom! Explosion of negative emotions. Final arc staaato!

I think this is consistent with the developments under chapter 413/Nagi finding Hayate hugging Ruka from behind and promising her happiness moment since I do not believe that event was really resolved.

Now there is a lot of room here to interpret the final panels of this chapter, but all of my interpretations might sound offensive to other shippers, so I shall refrain. It can also be interpreted in a positive way for Hina anyway.

Fanart Corner: Had time to finish that request before this chapter was out. Kudos to RHS for getting this one out early.
Lady Wedge's outfit from Ayakashi Ghost Guild... whatever that is.

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
