Yamamoto's Room from Reborn! Colore, Translated by xbluedawn
Tsuna: I go to Yamamoto's place often! It's so relaxing.
Yamamoto: Ha ha ha, the baseball club comes over at my house right? Everyone makes themselves at home here so maybe that's why.
Tsuna: I see, no wonder! Yamamoto does has a lot friends.
Gokudera: Having Little League pictures plastered over your wall makes you even more of a baseball idiot!
Reborn: The one thing I'm most excited about when I go to Yamamoto's place is Papan's sushi that he gives as a service.
Yamamoto: Well, it's not always the case.
Gokudera: Hmph! I'll never forget the time when he made us work because of the broken plate.
Tsuna: But.. Gokudera-kun. You left midway.
Gokudera: Huh!? Is, is that so!?
Mr. Rebokku and Haru-Haru Interviews
Mr. Rebokku's "game show" styled interviews by Reborn were only featured on DVDs during the Future Arc. They featured three or four contestants going head to head in a series of questions only to have Reborn arbitrarily choose a winner at the end. Haru-Haru's interviews on the other hand were one on one events adapted from the manga that featured a different character. During the interview, Haru would ask the guest a series of questions and often times madness would ensue.
Q: How do you score so many home runs?
A: I use my instincts rather than any type of logic.
Q: Is there anyone you believe you can't defeat?
A: Yeah, my dad. He's invincible once he starts making sushi.
Q: What are your favorite words?
A: Nine innings, two outs, grand slam!
Q: What are you favorite things to eat?
A: Milk, Milk Jelly, Milk Sherbet and Milk Bibimbab.
Other Extras: Yamamoto&'s favourite sushi dishes are toro, hamachi and shrimp (Vol. 22). Yamamoto's favorite baseball position is batting; however, he wants to be a well-rounded player (Vol. 28).
Yamamoto's Ranking Battles
Every anniversary, and occasionally during the middle of the year the Jump! staff puts out a series of polls and poll results announcing what the Japanese fanbase most wants to see from Reborn! Included are the most wanted to read matches.
6th: Gokudera vs Yamamoto (Reborn's Comments): Sometimes Yamamoto would appear to be ahead and other times Gokudera would appear to take the lead. Depending on the situation either could come out on top. Both of them are great competitors.
8th: TYL Yamamoto Vs TYL Squalo (Reborn's Comments): If Yamamoto is able to devote all of his time to improving his swordsmanship it would be an exciting match. Even then it won't be easy because Squalo is one of the strongest swordsmen alive.
