Tsuna was a [[Butt Monkey|useless kid]] with a [[Extreme Doormat|wimpy attitude]], [[Book Dumb|poor grades]], [[This Loser Is You|subpar athleticism]], and [[The Chew Toy|even worse luck]] who ''literally'' [[Cannot Spit It Out|could not talk to a girl to save his life]]. Well, that was before he met a particular [[Enfant Terrible|infant]] [[Devil in Plain Sight|hitman]] named [[Sink or Swim Mentor|Reborn]], who turned his life around forever. It just so happens that "No Good Tsuna" is the [[Unexpected Successor|future boss]] of [[The Mafia|the Vongola Famiglia]], the greatest mafia family in Italy, and [[Trickster Mentor|Reborn]] has been sent to [[Training from Hell|train]] [[A Boy and His X|him]]. [[Cowardly Lion|He's]] [[Took a Level in Badass|far]] from [[Magikarp Power|no-good]] these days though, [[Beware the Nice Ones|beating down]] anyone who threatens [[Horrible Judge of Character|the people]] [[The Messiah|he]] [[True Companions|loves]] with the power of his [[Like You Were Dying|Dying Will]] [[Heroic Willpower|Flame]]. Though the villains always seem to be [[Expecting Someone Taller|cynical about his height]].

* [[Accidental Pervert]]: In the very first chapter.

** This lead to [[Death Equals Redemption]]. Literally. Reborn [[First-Episode Resurrection|killed him]], invoking [[Unstoppable Rage|Dying Will]]... [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|Pulling Mochida's hair out]]...

* {{spoiler|[[Gravity Master]]: Briefly, when his and Enma's rings combined to create the Oath Flame so he could defeat Daemon.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]: After finding out that his own father (supposedly) killed Enma's parents.}} {{spoiler|It was actually the First Generation Mist Guardian, Daemon Spade, in disguise.}}

* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]: Did this ''a lot'' in the beginning, and still does sometimes.

** It's also something that pisses Reborn off immensely, and is shown as [[Character Development|something he'll have to get over eventually]]. So when Tsuna demonstrates even a tiny bit of self confidence, Reborn regards it as a vast improvement.

* [[Martyr Without a Cause]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Each member of the Vongola family line, all the way from the first to Tsunayoshi (the Tenth), is named after a Tokugawa Shogun.

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]

* [[Oedipus Complex]]: Dislikes his father, develops a ''huge'' crush on someone who looks exactly like his mother/[[Dude Looks Like a Lady|him]]? Yup.

* [[The Promise]]

* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: {{spoiler|Played straight till he actualy killed Byakuran, who had become pretty inhuman by that point.}}

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]

* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Hyper Dying Will Mode. {{spoiler|Rue the day you provoked his [[Unstoppable Rage]] while he was in this state, [[This Is Unforgivable!|Byakuran]].}}

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Normal Dying Will Mode.

At first, it seemed as if Gokudera was just your average, [[But Not Too Foreign|foreign]] [[Delinquents|delinquent]]. He even came equipped with your standard-issue [[Smoking Is Cool|cigarettes]] and the crowd of admiring classmates. But then he was beat by Tsuna, and of course, [[Defeat Means Friendship]], so he started his pursuit of being "the Tenth's" [[Stalker with a Crush|right hand man]]. This didn't mean that [[Tsundere|he would be nice]] to ''other'' people, though. But when it really comes down to it, his aggressive tendencies have been somewhat pacified due to his interactions with those ''other'' people.

* {{spoiler|[[Action Bomb]]: His Vongola Gear turns Uri into this, who shrinks afterwards.}}

* [[Ambiguously Bi]]: He has considerable [[Ho Yay]] towards Tsuna, (though it's not clear if it's really love or just [[Undying Loyalty]]). He also blushed and had a nosebleed upon seeing Lal Mirch (a beautiful woman) naked.

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]

* [[Devoted to You|Devoted to Tsuna]]

* [[Fan of Underdog]]: Which is actually an understatement.

* [[Green Eyes]]

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have to Be Aneki?]]

You're a baseball star. The jock. Everyone loves and admires you. How could your life get any better? [[Everything's Better with Samurai|Give the kid a sword]], and [[Katanas Are Just Better|make that sword a katana]], then [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours|teach him an awesome way to use it]]! And with that, you get the Badass known as Yamamoto. You wouldn't tell how badass he is [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|by looking]], because it's always sunny in Yamamotoville. The kid's been a constant, and [[Double Standard|welcome]] presence in Tsuna's [[Unwanted Harem|family]]. And with a little help, [[Took a Level in Badass|he's taken more levels in badass]] than anyone else. [[Foe Yay|Gokudera hates him.]]

* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: When this guy gives even the smallest of frowns, ''get the fuck out''.

* [[Took a Level in Badass|Took Many, Many Levels In Badass]]

* [[A Load of Bull]]: His [[Animal Motif]]. {{spoiler|Also his box weapon.}}

* [[Bishonen]]: His TYL form. Doubly so for his 20YL form.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Lambo loves Tsuna's mom, and anything that threatens her is met with lethal force.

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: He's the kind of kid that makes babysitting a living hell to anyone with less patience than Kyoko and Haru.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: In the present he is 100% [[Butt Monkey]]. 10 years in the future, it's a 50-50 case. [[Took a Level in Badass|But in 20 years...]]

* [[Future Badass]]

* [[Green Eyes]]

* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]: People keep forgeting he is '''5 YEARS OLD''' yet still forced to fight and is often abused for laughs.

* {{spoiler|[[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]}}

* [[Unknown Rival]]: To Reborn at the beginning of the story. Currently, though, he seems to have forgotten.

* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]

* [[Big Brother Complex]]

* [[Talk to the Fist]]

Congratulations. You're the [[Student Council President]] of the [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]. [[Devil in Plain Sight|You can get away with anything]]. You even have that [[Red Armband of Leadership|Red Armband Of]] [[Delinquents|Leadership]]. [[Hey, Wait!]] That's not ''you''. That's Hibari. The [[Curb Stomp Battle]] personified. He ''will'' be [[In Love with Your Carnage]], so don't fight anywhere near him and his [[Insane Equals Violent|Automatically Violent]] self. Violent to anything and everything other than his [[Loyal Animal Companion|Cute Critters]], whom he won't attack even if they [[Major Injury Underreaction|pierce his hand]]. Remember, don't piss him off or he ''will'' "[[Catch Phrase|bite you to death]]."

* [[Aloof Ally]]

* [[Animal Theme Naming]]: Hibari can mean skylark. Explains why he's so fond of animals, particularly birds.

* [[Wild Card]]: It's part of being the Cloud Guardian.

He's the spear wielding guy with a [[Dark and Troubled Past|Dark Past]] that you don't want to know about. In some completely lucky way, Mukuro has been reborn in all stages of hell, and remembering all of it. Due to that, he's gained [[Evil Eye]] powers and has been dead set on [[Grand Theft Me|taking over]] [[Cute Shotaro Boy|Tsuna]]'s body. But after [[Faking the Dead|the]] [[Flaw Exploitation|dirty]] [[In the Back|tactics]] [[Combat Pragmatist|failed]], [[Defeat Means Friendship|he ended up being employed in the job of being the guardian of the person who beat him]]. Nowadays, he spends his time in the head of a girl who looks just like him, occasionally [[Grand Theft Me|dropping by]] to save the day... Or something.

* [[A Handful for an Eye]]

* [[Anime Hair]]: His "pineapple" hairstyle. ''How'' do those spikes stay in place all the time?

* [[Younger Than They Look]]: He looks, sounds and acts as if he were in his early twenties. He's '''15'''.

* [[Battle Couple]]: With Mukuro.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Chrome's illusions and beast summonings can be [[Nightmare Fuel|quite scary]].

* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]}}

* [[The Chick]]

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]

* {{spoiler|[[Hypnotize the Princess]]}}: {{spoiler|After trying to convince her to pull a [[Face Heel Turn]] fails, Daemon decides to "[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|punish]]" her.}}

* [[Ill Girl]]: A good number of her organs are actually [[Nightmare Fuel|illusions created by Mukuro]] to replace the ones she lost in a car accident.

* [[Luminescent Blush]]

* [[Magic Skirt]]

* [[Morality Pet]]: Plays this role for Mukuro.

* [[Prongs of Poseidon]]

* [[Shy Blue-Haired Girl]]

* [[Significant Anagram]]: Chrome(Kuromu) Dokuro... Mukuro Rokudo... hmmmm....

** [[Justified Trope|To be fair]], her name before meeting Mukuro was Nagi, meaning this was very much intentional.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: And of course, pineapple shaped!

* [[Tareme Eyes]]

* [[Technicolor Eyes]]

** Chapter 383. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|That is all.]]

* [[Unequal Pairing]]: With Mukuro.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Chrome would rather let herself die than betray or be used against Mukuro.
