Hard Battle Arrives! is the twelfth volume of the Katekyo Hitman Reborn!.
Synopsis[]
Tsuna's ring is taken from him for having interfered in Lambo's fight. As such, the result of the battles between the Varia and Tsuna's Family is at 2 to the Varia because of Tsuna's interruption and 1 to Tsuna and his Guardians. The fight of the Storm Guardians starts between Gokudera and Belphegor, who battle inside Nanimori High. Belphegor uses "flying" knives to stop all of Gokudera's dynamites. However, Gokudera discovers that all the knives are attached to threads, and manages to injure Bel by improving the movements of his bombs. When the school starts exploding, Gokudera heeds Tsuna's advice of escaping which results in his loss. As Xanxus hints that something happened to the 9th boss, Iemitsu Sawada returns to Italy to see what happened to the boss. Meanwhile, the fight between Yamamoto and Superbia Squalo, the swordsman who attacked Basil to get the Half Vongola Rings, starts at the underground level of Namimori Middle School.

9th Issue: Ryohei Sasagawa[]
Haru: Today I'm interviewing Kyoko's brother, "Lion Hunter" Ryohei Sasagawa!
Ryohei: It's "Punchist," not "Hunter," Miura!
Haru: S-Sorry! This is a bit new to me!
Ryohei: I'd like to say right off that I've got training, so I can only talk for three hours...
Haru: Three hours will be plenty! You're very unusual, aren't you? Umm... Now then...
Ryohei: My motto is "TO THE EXTREME"!
Haru: Huh? Oh... Yes!
Ryohei: I'm a lightweight boxer. I'm 168 cm tall and weigh 59 kg.
Haru: Yes!
Ryohei: My blood type is A!! My birthday is August 26 and my zodiac sign is the boxer.
Haru: What?
Ryohei: "What" what?
Haru: The boxer?
Ryohei: It's a manly constellation that only I can see!
Haru: Oh c'mon you can't make up your own zodiac sign!
Ryohei: I can so!
Haru: Nuh-uh! What would happen to your horoscope?
Ryohei: Grr... You're just so like Kyoko. Why are women so...
KNOCK KNOCK
Kyoko: Good work, Haru. I brought tea and snacks!♪
Haru: Oh, Kyoko! A shortcake from La Namimorine! It's my favorite! Thank you!
Kyoko: This cake is delicious, isn't it?♪ How's it going? Big brother isn't blustering too much, is he?
Haru: Well... He says that his birth sign is the boxer.
Kyoko: You said that, Ryohei? I knew you didn't like Virgo, but...
Ryohei: It's not a sign for a man! I on't accept it!
Haru: Why do men get so strange over stuff like this? Like Gokudera...
Ryohei: It's a matter of pride! All men have a pride that they can't put aside!
Haru: Sigh... Is that it?
Kyoko: Hmm... Tsuna doesn't seem like that...
Haru: Oh, you're so right! Tsuna is relaxed!♡ Now I'm feeling hungry! I'm going to have some back!
Kyoko: Me too--♪
