Katekyo Hitman Reborn/Characters/The Arcobaleno: Difference between revisions

The entire series is [[Character Title|named after him]], so Reborn must be important, right? Mhm. He's a famous infant home tutor who's [[The Spartan Way|trained]] and whipped [[Butt Monkey|useless kids]] like Dino and Tsuna into becoming suitable bosses for [[The Mafia|their families]]. Wait. How can an infant be the greatest hitman in the ''entire'' world? He's really an [[Enfante Terrible|Arcobaleno]], which also means he's [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|used to be an adult]] before he was (unfortunately or not), [[Cursed with Awesome]]. He gets off on making [[Boom! Headshot!|flawless headshots]] and threatening people with his [[The Gunslinger|trusty gun]]- or with his shapeshifting pet, Leon - depending on if you read the manga or watch the anime. Unlike the other [[Chaste Teens|males of the series]] who aren't already married, Reborn actually has ''women'' falling for him. He was the object of an [[Accidental Marriage]]. And he's a ''baby''.

* [[Bishonen]]: His adult form.

* [[Blush Sticker]]

* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: Was turned into an infant, but in exchange gained sweet new powers and a [[Cool Pet]].

* [[Enfante Terrible]]

* [[First Aid Kit]]

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: And again, Tsuna almost tears his hair out for being the only one able to tell. {{spoiler|Yet when Reborn temporarily resumes his real form, Tsuna can't tell it's him.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Plot-Relevant Age-Up]]: Temporarily turns back to normal in order to help Tsuna in the Representative battle.}}

* [[Sniper Pistol]]

* [[Snot Bubble]]

* [[The Gunslinger]]: From what little we saw of him fighting, he seems to be both type B (The Vaporizer) and C (The Woo). [[Gun Fu|But mostly C.]]

* [[The Spartan Way]]

* [[Trickster Mentor]]

* [[Trigger Happy]]

An [[Enfante Terrible|Arcobaleno]] from China, Fon is usually seen in the anime in the form of I-Pin's [[Everything's Better with Plushies|stuffed version of him]]. He is her master, after all. His appearance also explains her [[Shallow Love Interest|deep crush for Hibari]]: Fon and Hibari are virtually twins... Well, at least when Fon [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|was an adult]]. The only difference would be that the holder of the red pacifier actually smiles, and has a long braid. One thing they ''do'' have in common that's not looks is that they both have [[Everything's Better with Monkeys|cute pets]].

* [[Enfante Terrible]]

* [[Everything's Better with Plushies]]: I-Pin sports a cute plushie of him in the Future Arc.

* [[Fan Nickname]]

* [[Generation Xerox]]: {{spoiler|Judging from the heavy implications that Fon and Hibari are related, the two looking alike may not be coincidence anymore...}}

* {{spoiler|[[Plot-Relevant Age-Up]]: Temporarily turns back to normal in order to participate in the Representative battle.}}

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]

* [[Short Hair with Tail]]

 

[[File:luche-4.jpg|frame]]

 

She's [[The Chick|The]] [[Nice Hat]] [[The Chick|Chick]] of the [[Enfante Terrible|Arcobaleno]], and also [[Benevolent Boss|The Boss]] a.k.a holder of the Orange Pacifier. Unlike the rest of her colleagues, with their [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|ridiculous]] life-spans, Luche is not one for a long life, [[In the Blood|a trait that she passed on]] to [[Identical Grandson|her progeny]]. [[It Gets Worse|Oh, and she didn't just pass on that]]. She passed on the [[Blessed with Suck|ability to see into the future]], [[Cursed with Awesome|and the title of Arcobaleno leader]], which leads to [[Blessed with Suck|that short lifespan]]! Isn't that just great? Her poor children also inherit her memories [[Last Lousy Point|as well]]! At any rate, she did seem to have an interesting relationship with bad boy Reborn. [[Sarcasm Mode|Of course]], [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]].

* [[Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels]]: Her pet squirrel Cosmo.

* [[Facial Markings]]

* [[Hot Mom]]

* [[Hot Witch]]: The benevolent sort but before becoming an Arcobaleno, she was a powerful Shaman.

* [[Identical Grandson|Identical Granddaughter]]

* [[Irony]]: Becoming a baby shortly after giving birth certainly qualifies.

 

[[File:verde123.jpg|frame]]

 

----

* [[Anime Hair]]: probably designed to play on the typical "messy haired [[Mad Scientist]]" stereotype.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

* [[Jerkass]]: Just like Mukuro, so much that both persons either mirror each other's saying or say the something at the same time.

* [[Megane]]

* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Verde" is "Green" in Italian. Just ''look'' at him. Green hair, green alligator, ''green pacifier''!

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Very much one in the anime. {{spoiler|Likely to be one in the manga as well, since chapter 353 reveals that he allied himself with ''Mukuro'' of all people.}}

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

 

[[File:colonello_reborn.jpg|frame]]

 

----

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: He's supposed to have blue clothes to match his pacifier. This was later changed so that his headband remained blue but his clothes became green like they were in the anime.

* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Lal.

** {{spoiler|He later sports a ''really'' big one when he participates in the Representative battle.}}

* [[Bishounen]]: His adult self. And ''HOW''.

* [[Blush Sticker]]

* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]

* [[Enfante Terrible]]

* [[Hot-Blooded]]

* [[Senior Sleep Cycle|Infant Sleep Cycle]]

* {{spoiler|[[Plot-Relevant Age-Up]]: Temporarily turns back to normal in order to participate in the Representative battle.}}

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]

* [[Snot Bubble]]

* [[The Spartan Way]]

* [[Trickster Mentor]]

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Ends every sentence with kora, ''kora'' (which loosely translates into "damn it!")!

 

[[File:mammon123.jpg|frame]]

 

He embodied the [[Seven Deadly Sins|sin of greed]] when he was with the [[Big Bad]], concerned only with his money, even if he has the appearance of a [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|baby]]. He's a [[Master of Illusion]], king of [[Naughty Tentacles]]. He used to work with the [[Heel Face Turn|Va]][[Psycho for Hire|ria]] until he got [[Curb Stomp Battle|owned]] by [[Master of Illusion|Mukuro]] and tried to [[Dirty Coward|flee for his life]]. The [[Enfante Terrible|Arcobaleno]] is constantly [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|mistaken for a girl]] by the fans due to his ambiguous baby voice and ever-present hood over his head. Even as an adult, fans can't tell.

----

* [[Ambiguous Gender]] : It hasn't been made official yet (damn hood!) and he could easily be a she. Since the release of a certain color page, the fandom has been raging.

* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: Loves money.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Fon's personality really rubs him the wrong way. Also, when he thinks someone is looking down on illusions, or when illusions are beaten by physical force.

* [[Black Cloak]]

* [[Curb Stomp Battle|Curb Stomped]]

* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: Although he isn't as happy with it as the other Arcobaleno.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Does this often.

* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]}}

* [[Identity Impersonator]]: Even Reborn and Colonello aren't sure if he's the same Viper they used to know.

* [[I Just Want to Be Free]]: Wants very badly to break the curse.

* {{spoiler|[[Inferiority Superiority Complex]]: Acts like he thinks he is the best, but jumps on the "He's gonna beat me" bandwagon to the extreme during his and Fon's battle, resulting in much blood loss.}}

* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Thinks Fon is this.

* {{spoiler|[[In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves]]: Invokes the literal version on all present combatants in the Rep. Battle.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Irrational Hatred]]: Has this towards Fon, for his "preaching" while all of the Arcobaleno were together.}}

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Technically indigo.

Skull is the [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|youngest]] of the [[Enfante Terrible|Arcobaleno]], constantly calling the other kids his [[Sempai-Kohai|senpai]]. He's also a case of [[Curtains Match the Window]], y'know, with his purple hair and lilac eyes. That'd be if he'd ever take off that [[Nice Hat|biker helmet]] in his baby form. His actions from when he did apear in the series has earned him the title of [[The Woobie|woobie]], after being humiliated by [[Trickster Mentor|Reborn and Colonello]]. His appearance and expressions in his adult form (ex: [[Impossibly Cool Clothes|decorative bandages, snake bites, chains, guyliner, leather clothes]]) has had [[Instant Fanclub|people fangasming]].

* [[Bishounen]]

** Lampshaded by himself in chapter 353.

And

* [[Cursed with Awesome]]

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: A mix between Goth and [[Badass Biker]]

** {{spoiler|Adelheid}} [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] his Goth look and sort-of makes fun of it.

* [[Made of Iron]]: He tanks a supremely high amount of damage {{spoiler|protecting Enma during the Curse of the Rainbow arc}}.

* [[Nice Hat]]: Nice biker helmet.

* [[Why Won't You Die?]]: Invoked in his [[Badass Nickname]]. He's the "Stuntman hated by the Grim Reaper himself."

Not only is Lal Mirch a rare [[Action Girl]] in this [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys]], she's also a member of the outside advisors of the Vongola, an ex-trainer of the CEDEF and a failed Arcobaleno (with [[Scars Are Forever|scars]] to show for it) as well. Having a [[Incurable Cough of Death]] hasn't stop her from dishing out large doses of violence as the trainer of Tsuna and others in the future though evidence seems to suggest that she's in fact a [[Tsundere]]. Had a [[Cannot Spit It Out|relationship]] with former student Colonello who has inherited her [[The Spartan Way|training maxim]] and took her [[Heroic Sacrifice|place]] as an Arcobaleno.

* [[Action Girl]]: She could kick your ass without even trying.

* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Colonnello.

* [[Blush Sticker]]: One of the few cases this trope actually fits the singular form, as only one of her cheeks has it.

The mysterious man who gathers the Seven Strongest in the world in order to protect the cursed pacifiers by turning them into the Arcobaleno. He appears before the current Arcobaleno to offer them a chance to become human once again in a Representative War. {{spoiler|But it's actually a lie. He plans on gathering a new group of the Seven Strongest to take on the curse and protect the Pacifiers.}}
