Line 9 ⟶ 8:
He's also the future boss of the Vongola [[The Mafia|crime family]].
 
He doesn't believe it at first, but when his '"home tutor'", a diminutive hitman named Reborn, visits him and shoots him (apparently) dead, he gains unstoppable determination and becomes able to do a host of amazing feats and command the respect of others... just the sort of thing he needs to turn his life around.
 
However the life of a mafia boss is fraught with danger, and Tsuna and his new [[Nakama|'family']] must become stronger if they are to survive the competition.
 
A popular ''[[Shonen Jump]]'' manga series by Akira Amano (known simply as ''Reborn!'' in the Viz translation) with an anime adaptation that ran from 2006 to 2010. The latter is available free and legally with English subtitles at [https://web.archive.org/web/20100611063913/http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/REBORN!/ Crunchyroll] and [http://www.hulu.com/reborn Hulu], but only in certain areas.

=== ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[A Boy and His X]]: A Boy and His Scheming One-Year-Old Assassin Tutor.
* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]: Namimori Junior High's Disciplinary Committee controls the school and ''the whole town'' through violence.
Line 74 ⟶ 72:
** Ryohei is this as well, [[Catch Phrase|to the EXTREME!!]]
** We can't leave Hibari and his tonfas out or else he'll [[Catch Phrase|bite our asses to death.]] And no, not ''[[Freud Was Right|that]]'' way.
* [[Bad Boss]]: Xanxus, who mercilessly abuses his subordinates (especially Squalo, who is more likely to get heavy objects thrown at him than not) and has anyone who [[You Have Failed Me...|fails to complete a mission killed on the spot]]. Heck, he even takes out an entire squadron just because they didn't have the right kind of steak he wanted to eat!
* [[Bad Future]]: The entire plot of the one arc.
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: Ghost has... No genitals. None what-so-ever. Not much to [[Full-Frontal Assault]] with ''there''.
Line 111 ⟶ 109:
** Xanxus shot {{spoiler|Kikyou's}} head off at point blank range.
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Averted by Xanxus' guns.
* [[Bowdlerise]]: It seems that the series' central gimmick -- thegimmick—the Dying Will Bullet that momentarily kills Tsuna and then brings him back to life with tremendous power -- waspower—was a bit too violent for the anime version. So now, instead of Reborn pulling out a gun and shooting Tsuna in the head, Reborn's pet chameleon takes the form of a gun (which is colored bright green, so it looks like a toy) and Reborn fires a bullet from it. The bullet then explodes before reaching its target, leaving behind an energy beam which hits Tsuna. Needless to say, it greatly lessens the impact of the sequence, not to mention coming off as needlessly complicated.
** Most other references to Reborn being a hitman or using real guns are cut out as well, probably because of his age. {{spoiler|To be fair he is an adult, but you're not supposed to know just by watching an episode or two.}}
** Lal Mirch's scars are changed to a tattoo.
Line 180 ⟶ 178:
** This also happens with Sasagawa, after being bitten in a boxing match, he joins Tsuna's family.
** Hibari, who was an enemy of Tsuna in early chapters, could also count. It's not ''Friendship'' per se, but since Tsuna's family was able to fight with him, Hibari became a member of Tsuna's family.
** Played with a bit with Mukuro and Xanxus, Tsuna's first major opponents after the [[Genre Shift]]. Mukuro indirectly becomes one of Tsuna's Guardians (but is still planing to kill him), and Xanxus and the Varia continue to serve the Vongola, but have their own reasons for doing so that have little to nothing to do with friendship--orfriendship—or even loyalty-- toloyalty—to Tsuna himself, but rather to the Family.
** Also used in the following arcs, {{spoiler|Past!Byakuran becomes a good guy after hearing what his future self has done (even helping one of Tsuna's guardians).}} {{spoiler|Enma Kozato}} also becomes Tsuna's friend after being defeated and finding out that {{spoiler|Primo didn't betray his ancestor}}
* [[Delinquents]]: Subverted in that they're actually the Disciplinary Committee, who all wear the [[Red Armband of Leadership]].
Line 215 ⟶ 213:
* [[The Evil Prince]]: Xanxus. Subverted because, {{spoiler|surprise! He's adopted.}} Also Belphegor, who is a) a prince, and b) [[Self-Made Orphan|batshit insane]]... because he's a prince.
* [[Expy]]: If you don't think of [[Gamera]] when you see Enzo's giant form, you don't know enough Japanese media.
** Ghost is basically a lime green [[Watchmen (comics)|Dr. Manhattan]] with long hair.
*** Though without the [[Male Frontal Nudity|Full Frontal Wang]], as this is a kid's manga.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Rokudo Mukuro jamming his finger into his right eye so that he can activate the Fifth Path.
Line 284 ⟶ 282:
** Don't forget the Varia's character songs. They're Italian but they sing in Japanese. Also when Squalo and Basil fight in the beginning of the Varia Arc. They're both Italian but they converse in Japanese.
** The only saving grace is their rather quirky Japanese accents.
* [[Halfbreed]]: Hayato Gokudera is a biracial Italian-Japanese, his heritage made him be rejected by every mafia family, save the one that's run by the Japanese Tsuna Sawada.
* [[Hammerspace]]: Lambo's hair can fit a full-sized rocket launcher in it while it itself is only about the size of a Soccer ball.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Byakuran gives Tsuna one, talking about his past experiences as a [[Butt Monkey]]. Tsuna retaliates with more fighting, eventually defeating Byakuran anyways.
Line 353 ⟶ 352:
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Bianchi, who actually uses her poisonous cooking as a weapon, since she's an assassin and all.
* [[Like You Were Dying]]
* [[Lolicon]]: Ryohei's crush for [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up|I-Pin]] in an omake probably doesn't count, but there's Giglio Nero's members' love for their boss [[Token Mini-MoeLoli|Uni]]. Especially Gamma's.
{{quote|'''Gamma:''' "Don't say stupid things, you bunch of lolicons."
'''Other members:''' "Wha?! Like you're not the most suspicious one here!!" }}
Line 373 ⟶ 372:
* [[Magnetic Hero]]: Tsuna. He's assembling [[Unwanted Harem|quite a harem]] of [[Ho Yay|incredibly loyal]] underlings who would certainly die for him.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Mukuro
** {{spoiler|Future Tsuna. Even though it's to save all existence, I'm almost certain that dragging your past counterparts, who are all middle schoolers, ten years into the future to fight guys who are used to fighting differently and more efficiently to [[Training Fromfrom Hell|jumpstart their growth]] qualifies.}}
** Good God, {{spoiler|Daemon Spade}} is WORSE than Mukuro.
** Byakuran. Who sort of cheats, what with the whole {{spoiler|"I can see alternate universes and know what you're going to do"}} thing.
Line 447 ⟶ 446:
** Now we have the {{spoiler|Earth flames}} which contain {{spoiler|[[An Ice Person]]}} and a {{spoiler|[[Green Thumb]]}} among others
** The fact that everyone is starting to use the Dying Will Flame is even [[Lampshaded]] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/katekyo_hitman_reborn/v31/c290/4.html here].
* [[Plot Leveling]]: During the Future Arc the main cast defeated an organisation that threatened countless [[Alternate Universe|Alternate Universes]]s. While doing that they obtained weapons of [[Wave Motion Gun]] levels of power (which are unavailable to anybody else in the present) and now wield the full power of the [[Cosmic Keystone|Cosmic Keystones]]s they possess (of which there are three kinds - one is their own, one is defeated and blocked and the keepers of the rest are their teachers or subordinates of said teachers).
* [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up]]: Or down. The Ten Year Bazooka seems to exist purely for this.
* [[The Promise]]: Squalo, for not cutting his hair until Xanxus becomes the boss of Vongola. Tsuna, for always protecting Kyoko.
Line 494 ⟶ 493:
* [[Shower Scene]]: [[Genre Savvy|Unsurprisingly]], [[Ms. Fanservice|Suzuki Adelheid]] recently got one.
* [[Sidekick Ex Machina]]: Hibari and Mukuro to Tsuna.
* [[Signature Device]]: The Vongola Rings and Mare/Acrobaleno Pacifiers.
* [[Significant Anagram]]: Mukuro and Chrome's names are anagrams in Japanese (Chrome is Kuromu in Japanese).
* [[Single-Stroke Battle]]: {{spoiler|Cloud battle.}}
Line 542:
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Xanxus isn't too happy about the fact that he's clearly getting beaten towards the end of his fight with Tsuna.
{{quote|'''Xanxus''': Not possible! This is impossible!}}
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: The anime is so good at this. {{spoiler|Poor Uni's gone from this world, and Byakuran's complaining about how she was a toy, and his plans were ruined...}}
{{quote|"Why do you think Uni had to do this...? You ruined our world. That's why Uni... That's why Uni DIED!! Byakuran! I... I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!!!" Cue Tsuna {{spoiler|[[Curb Stomp Battle|curbstomping to the point he kills]]}} Byakuran. That's right, [[Cute Shotaro Boy|present]] [[Beware of the Nice Ones|Tsuna]] '''{{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Killed]]}}''' [[Complete Monster|Byakuran]]!}}
* [[Threesome Subtext]]: neither Gokudera nor Yamamoto is shown to have any potential romantic partner out of the rest of the cast, yet they're both [[Ho Yay|awfully close]] with their Boss.
* [[Time to Unlock More True Potential]]: Every. Single. Chapter.
Line 549:
** {{spoiler|The entire Ten Years Later arc.}}
* [[Throw Down the Bomblet]]: Gokudera all the way
* [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]]: Bluebell, Uni, Chrome to an extent (since she's the youngest of Guardians, save Lambo). Subverted with {{spoiler|Luche}}.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Tsuna... after about nine volumes of fail.
** Though he makes up for it by going up several levels of [[Badass]] ''one after the other''.
** Let's be honest, once he converted his {{spoiler|[[Killer Rabbit|box animal]]}} into a {{spoiler|[[Impossibly Cool Clothes|pimp mafia mantle]]}} while he was wearing the all-black and white mafia suit, the [[Holy Shit Quotient|HSQ Meter]], [[Rule of Cool|Cool Meter]], and the [[Badass|Badass Meter]] all broke '''simultaneously''' then decided to just say fuck it and enjoy the show.
* [[Tournament Arc]]: The Varia Saga.
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Hyper Dying Will mode.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]
* [[Trigger Happy]]: Reborn
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Gokudera
Line 602:
** Lal Mirch too. Outside of Japan, there seem to be quite a lot of different [[Hair Colors]].
* [[You Said You Would Let Them Go]]: In the most recent chapter, {{spoiler|"The next time we play Choice, I will allow any agreement that favors you." "Sorry, I don't remember that."}}
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: {{spoiler|Byakuran}} to {{spoiler|Genkishi;}} he doesn't say it but after {{spoiler|losing again in the CHOICE battle}} he had one of his squad {{spoiler|kill Genkishi.}} The {{spoiler|Varia}} also function this way.
