Re: Hayate no Gotoku chapter reviews

Chapter 486 begins with Miki handing Hinagiku the numbers for
each trip. 54 have selected level 5. Two have selected the hard
labour level 4. XD Miki questions why Hina would want the prize
money, and she lies that she'd give it to needy children. Hayate
and Nagi discuss having chosen level 5, with Nagi continuing her
spiel of quitting and gaming in the hotel. When Maria notes that
Hayate winning would pay off his debts, he notes that he
wouldn't just instantly quit being Nagi's butler. Alice and
Mikado discuss Kananiwa's stone (she has to threaten to cut his
beard off to make him talk XD). He explains that he handed one
to her, as she could try and find out how to bring its light
back. The lights have returned since Midas was defeated and the
curse broken, but he's not gotten it back from Kananiwa because
she scares him. :P
We fast-forward to September 18th - biggest time-skip ever? -
and find Kananiwa hosting an assembly with the 54 level 5
competitors. She introduces them to wrist-worn Completers, which
cannot be removed until the competition ends. Pressing a button
on the side opens the top and unveils... a relaxing lavender
scent. XD But also a second button that, when pressed, signifies
them quitting and transmits a signal for them to be taken to the
hotel. Nagi finds this to be an interesting game, especially as
you can try to press others' buttons and force them out of the
competition; she decides she'll put some effort into taking
part.
10 Word Summary!
'The school trip looms with intriguing devices and Kananiwa
mystery.'
Also, shall do this for now...

Hayate Ayasaki

Shall update that as we learn who else (if anyone we know, or
get to meet) are involved, and who gets knocked out of play.

Nagi up a snowy mountain, struggling on and cursing a girl. What
could have brought us here?
We rewind back to the coach trip, where everyone's Completers
suddenly flash up 219:59:59 and 54 - Kananiwa appears on a
screen and explains that this is their remaining time and number
of active competitors. They will have only minimal luggage
provided, not including their electronic devices, unless they
press the button in their Completer. Miki and Risa try to get
Izumi to press hers to prove that the number on the Completer
will reduce.
A while later, and the coach has arrived at the snowy mountains
(everyone's still in their school uniforms, so they feel the
cold). Nagi quickly works out that they're in New Zealand, which
takes Hayate back. The hotel is pointed out to them, and the men
in black explain that they shall be skiing today. Soon enough,
Hinagiku and Hayate are both snowboarding epically, while Nagi,
Aika and Izumi are utterly failing at skiing (apparently Izumi
went to the Alps before to build snowmen, not to actually ski).
Kotetsu is apparently nearby, and Yukiji... is wearing a mask
and insisting that she is not suspicious. XD And elsewhere...

Chapter 488! We start with a buffet, and discussion on food.
Nagi quickly observes that there is no tension considering 150
million yen is at stake. Then the men in black herd them off to
another Kananiwa broadcast, where she explains that there shall
be an orientation - a night-time trek down the mountain to a
hotel at the base. Those who get their first will be rewarded.
Yukiji questions if this has anything to do with the prize
money, and Kananiwa says that it isn't. While pressing your
Completer's button will signal a forfeit, as ever, people don't
have to take the orientation. Izumi and Chiharu both say they'll
take the coach down instead, but Hinagiku says she'll take the
orientation. Nagi seconds this, heading off with Hayate while
Ruri stands nearby, observing that someone has sense.
Nagi explains to Hayate that the rewards will most likely inject
tension into the competition, even if the rewards themselves
aren't to do with the money. Ruri praises this deduction, and
introduces herself as a classmate. Hayate and Nagi are unsure if
she is, and Hayate then reminds Nagi that her inability to ski
may hinder them. Soon enough, the men in black are preparing for
the orientation to begin, and explain that holding down the face
of the Completer projects a compass (Hina is amazed, before
noticing that Hayate shall be pulling Nagi along by sleigh). The
doors are opened, the orientation begins, and our trio are
greeted by a blizzard. The Completer competitor number beeps
down to 49 (they act as though only one person surrendered, but
it's surely gone down 5?). Time to begin!

Chapter 489, aside from a colour image illustrating some
servicey clear bookmarks, begins with Nagi seeing moments of her
time with Hayate... until he has her come to, freezing on the
mountain. Nagi notes that the reason they are in New Zealand is
because there are no bears to potentially attack them. Then a
bear appears. XD They're chased, until an avalanche sweeps the
bear away. Nagi recalls Maria's words, and asks Hayate if he'll
still be her butler if he wins the money... only for the ground
they're standing on, the edge of a protrusion, to fall off and
plunge them into water. XD
The Student Council trio note the competitor number dropping by
another two, and feel comfort in the fact that they're taking
the safe coach journey, as they approach the hotel - a prison.
One of them notes that it looks like a place that'd have a
dungeon. XD
Hayate spies a cliché wooden cabin up ahead... and next page has
naked Nagi warming up against a fire with only a towel or
blanket to preserve her modesty. ;3 Hayate is also in some state
of undress, but when Nagi tries to spy on him, wondering how
long it's been since they were last naked together, she finds
him calmly hanging up her underwear. :P He then heads off to
investigate the cabin next to them, and Nagi ponders what'll
happen if Hayate wins the money. Ruri appears and declares that
his life will be over. Meanwhile, Hinagiku's presumably in the
other cabin, enjoying a sauna. XD

490! Ten away from the big 500! And our cover is Hinagiku
sporting the flavour of the month, the Danmachi heroine costume,
complete with bare feet OBSCURED BY THE LOGO YOU B@STARD HATA!
XD
Nagi has Ruri enter and shut the door, and Ruri goes on to
illustrate what will happen if Hayate wins (by using a board) -
first, he'll stop being her butler. Nagi says that Hayate likes
her so he wouldn't leave (erm, when was the last time you
mentioned this, Nagi?), and Ruri suggests that he'd stay with
her and become a neet. They'd spend all day flirting (Nagi
objects to this bluntness XD). Then once he's sponged off of
her, he'll move onto other girls, and wind up stabbed to death.
:P Ruri convinces Nagi that she needs to win the race and gain
the advantage, providing her with new clothes and a snowmobile.
Nagi heads off, leaving Hayate to check out if the other
building has a sauna.
Meanwhile, Hinagiku is considering how the arrows lead her to
the icy river and it's convenient that she found the sauna, when
Hayate enters. She instinctively hides, but then realises that
she now has to wait for him to leave first... and as she's been
in here for ten minutes already, she has a disadvantage. :P
After fifteen minutes of waiting, she's desperate for him to
leave; all the while, he notices that the competitors keep
dropping out, down to 41 now.

out.'

Another five competitors have dropped out in the few moments
since last chapter, but Hayate is distracted by a thud -
Hinagiku collapsing. With her towel slipping off! And one panel
gives us a bit of a look at her butt! >3 Hayate tries to help
her, only for the towel to slip further (much to his flusterment
XD). She wakes up later, sat by the fire and in only a blanket.
Hayate greets her, wearing a blindfold - Hina thanks him, but
tearily asks if he saw anything. He says he didn't. She doesn't
believe him. XD
Elsewhere, the others are in prison cells, generally complaining
and being given only a cold loaf of bread for dinner. The men in
black show video footage of those who have dropped out, eating a
buffet and checking out their nice beds. The prisoners are
reminded that they can press their Completer and drop out at any
time. Kayura settles down for sleep, noting that the conditions
aren't too bad, especially with so much money to be won.
Hayate hands Hina a drink, and they discuss Nagi heading off
alone to prevent Hayate becoming a NEET (neither of them know
what she means :P). Hina observes that Nagi doesn't want him to
stop being her butler, and asks Hayate what type of girl he
would go out with. She immediately panics, realising that's the
same as a confession, but of course Hayate doesn't clock that,
and instead says "a queen". He means an Athena-type. :P He
elaborates that he likes girls with confidence in themselves.
Hina then asks how Nagi's continued on if she can't ski; Hayate
explains that Ruri has taken her by snowmobile, but Hina says
that there is no Ruri Tsugumi at Hakuou.
10 Word Summary!
'Naked Hina, imprisonment, talk of girls and a Ruri revelation.'
Won't keep listing our competitors until named characters
actually drop out. :P

Over two weeks later, chapter 492!
We recap Hinagiku saying there's no Ruri Tsugumi at the school,
and cut to Nagi and Ruri on the snowmobile. Nagi asks why Ruri
is helping her, and Ruri comments that you help family. Then
Sonia shows up- Sonia! XD She says she's fighting with her life
on the line and goes to attack Nagi, only for Ruri to kick her
head from behind and refer to Nagi as her sister. Sonia then
pulls out a trigger and causes the chunk of ice/snow/you know
whatever the two are stood on to fall.
Meanwhile, Izumi is shivering in her cell and contemplates
pressing her Completer. Risa reminds her that over 1.2 billion
people live in similar conditions, and that they forget about
that when... well, she lists multiple first-world everyday
activities, each topped with a latte. :P She suggests Izumi slug
it out for the night, but Izumi reminds her that the trip is 10
days and 9 nights. Risa gives up and presses her Completer. XD
She says she doesn't need the money anyway as she's escorted to
comfort.
Chiharu asks Aika why she's here, and we get a flashback to her
trying to convince her fiancé to go with her on the Europe trip,
but he refuses, wanting her to spend time with her friends. He
ends up calling her spineless - she's now trying to prove that
she has a spine. :P
Nagi recovers in the snow, but is now completely alone. She
realises that Hayate won't be able to hear her if she calls...
but then Ruri shows up, again calling her sister.

Hello hello, chapter 493!
Hinagiku comes first in the competition, and we have a brief
flashback to Hayate telling her to go on ahead while he searches
for Nagi. Nagi herself comes in second, and half an hour later,
Hayate rounds out the nine. He's glad to see Nagi, and notes
that he thought Ruri kidnapped her - Nagi defends Ruri. The men
in black then hand out the prizes - Hinagiku gets a credit card
holding 10 million yen, to spend during the duration of the
trip. The others have cards with less and less money, up to
Hayate, who gets... a card with no money. And the option for a
togo debt - 50% interest every 10 days. :P
They're shown the room options for the hotel, the cheapest of
which is 10,000 yen. It's to teach them about society. 8th place
girl notes that she can't afford any of the rooms, and is
offered the option the non-challenging competitors had. She
accepts and is lead off, and Risa appears, noting the hell she'd
escaped (and which 8 is now headed to). She then starts
arranging for Hina to have the 1 million-a-night suite and two
French dinners. Hayate and Nagi observe this is an unequal
society. :P Nagi then offers to pay for a double room for
herself and Hayate, and Risa calls him a deadbeat (which makes
Nagi recall Ruri's words). In the now-twin room, Hayate and Nagi
discuss Ruri not being a student, and prepare for the next day
on the mountain.
Which is why, by afternoon the next day, Hayate's in the middle
of a jungle. :P

Will try to be brief for the rather dense ch.494!
Chiharu and Kayura are chased by a jaguar, while Hayate wrestles
a crocodile and Kotetsu takes photos. We rewind 10 hours, to
everyone arriving in South America, having had various levels of
experience on the plane journey. The men in black show them the
basic residence - a rickety shack in the middle of the
rainforest, with the fewest of amenities and the threat of
wildlife, wild guerrillas and wild drug cartels. However, no one
intends on dropping out of the chance to win more money (only
the first three will win any money) just to live in a nice
hotel. Kananiwa speaks via video link, informing them that the
rainforest is a living carnival and that their competition is to
take a photo of the rarest/most exotic animal. Wataru and Saki
will be judging (Nagi questions why people they know keep
getting involved), and Wataru explains that the best way to
assure victory is to avoid losing by one error, and win by a
large margin. :P
Risa suggests they split into teams of three, who can then share
the luxury hotel for the night. Hayate and Nagi are confronted
by Kotetsu, who sings about his camera skills and is punched by
Hayate on reflex. :P Everyone in the group of 34 splits into
teams of three...
Leaving poor Izumi alone. XD
10 Word Summary!
'A wild photography competition begins: teams of three, plus
Izumi.'

Quick summary of chapter 495...
We start with Izumi being distracted by a butterfly and taking a
nap while the others form their teams of three. Kotetsu selects
a camera with an inbuilt GPS...
Hayate: W-Wow!! I thought you were just a pervert... but you're
a surprisingly useful pervert!!
XDXD Soon enough, great pics start coming in - Hina with a pink
Amazon river dolphin, "Masked Yukiko-chan" with some rare fish
caught with a vine, and Hayate takes off his top and punches out
a crocodile (or relative). :P Then Chiharu's team send in a pic
of a jaguar chewing on her head. XDXD
And when Izumi turns up and notices how intense the competition
has become, she decides to take a picture of some cute fish...
which turn out to be akin to that mutant fish from the beach
arc. XD And she wins the competition!
10 Word Summary!
'Lots of crazy animal photos, and a surprise Izumi victory!'
