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.
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[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 31 ⟶ 29:
* [[Action Girl]]: Lal Mirch. Chrome might get there, someday.
** Suzuki Adelheid
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The "Arcobaleno" and the "Vongola Primo" [[Filler|filler arcs]] in the anime expanded on the backstories of the titled characters including {{spoiler|[[The Reveal]] that it was Daemon Spade, Vongola's first mist guardian, who forced Primo to move to Japan}}, as well as giving Uni some character developement.
* [[The Alcatraz]]: The impregnable Vendicare prison. Mukuro and the Kokuyo gang are the only people to have ever escaped from it, though they got sent back later. The most dangerous criminals are put into a coma and kept chained up in [[People Jars]] on the lowest level, where no light or sound can reach them.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Want to find out Bianchi's past? How Dino met Squalo? Why Mukuro hasn't taken over Tsuna's body yet despite all the opportunities to do so? The story of the Arcobaleno? Bluebell's [[Start of Darkness]]? Well you're going to have to read the novels, listen to CD Dramas, or watch the anime.
* [[All Your Colors Combined]]: Vongola Rings! Activate!
** The Arcobaleno pacifiers even more-so.
*** Byakuran and {{spoiler|his funeral wreaths all seem to have this too - but in hair colours.}}
* [[Alternate Universe]]: {{spoiler|Many, in fact. Byakuran and Uni}} both have the power to {{spoiler|acquire knowledge from multiple AU versions of themselves,}} which is what makes the former such a [[Magnificent Bastard]].
Line 41 ⟶ 39:
* [[Amulet of Concentrated Awesome]]: Tsuna's Dying Will Bullet.
* [[Angrish]]: Xanxus does this. A lot!
* [[Animal Motifs]]: The Arcobaleno. Also [[Everything's Better
** During the Future Arc, everyone who is part of the Mafia seem to have this.
** A commonly missed fact is that the Shimon family has an insect theme.
*** Enma is a Japanese rhinoceros beetle.
*** Aoya Koyo is a dragonfly.
*** Rauji is a beetle.
*** Shit-P is a spider.
*** Adelheid is praying mantis.
*** Mizuno is a honey bee or wasp.
*** Julie is an scorpion.
Line 58 ⟶ 56:
* [[Art Evolution]]: The boys sure seem to get [[Bishounen|a lot prettier]] as the manga runs on.
** Simply admirable evolution of the art ''in the ENTIRE series''. It can't be help that the bishies got even more bishie-y.
* [[Asexuality]]: In all probability, Hibari. He's [[Married to
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: Fran failed at unleashing his box weapon because he lacked one.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Bermuda Von Vichtenstein.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Hibari's more like Tonfa Crazy.
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: {{spoiler|Mukuro and Hibari}} in the [[Filler Arc]]. [[Squee|Fangirls reaction was as expected.]]
** {{spoiler|Tsuna and Byakuran}} in The Curse of the Rainbow arc
** {{spoiler|Tsuna and Mukuro}} at the end of Chapter 380
* [[Badass in
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: The Mukuro of the future, not to mention the {{spoiler|Six Funeral Wreaths, including Byakuran}}.
** {{spoiler|Tsuna}} has now achieved this status, thanks to his {{spoiler|[[Cool Pet]]}}.
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 95 ⟶ 93:
* [[Blinding Bangs]]: Belphegor
** Also, {{spoiler|Bel's brother, Rasiel.}}
** And Belphegor's pet mink.
* [[Bloodless Carnage]]: About 99% of the blood and gore is [[Bowdlerise|removed from the manga]] into a surprisingly tame anime.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Squalo. Fighting and Xanxus is all he needs.
Line 104 ⟶ 102:
* [[Body Horror]]: The Deathstalk Squad.
** {{spoiler|The Vindice as well. Underneath those cloaks and bandages, the Vindice members look like corpses.}}
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: The new transfer student Suzuki Adelheid is the leader of the Shimon Middle School Liquidation Committee, an expy of the Disciplinary Committee, who challenged Hibari Kyouya to a duel to determine who will take charge of the discipline in the school. She also has very big . . . [[Freud Was Right|assets.]]
** And they increase in size quite considerably in later chapters.
* [[Book Dumb]]: Tsuna, Tsuna, Tsuna. In actuality, after the series [[Genre Shift|gets more serious]] and Tsuna stops being an all-around [[Butt Monkey]], he's shown to actually be pretty darn smart about figuring out how to fight and properly utilize his {{spoiler|X-Gloves.}}
** Yamamoto was also initially this, until it's shown that he only makes bad grades because he focuses on baseball instead of classes.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: It's Reborn's anthem.
** Xanxus shot {{spoiler|Kikyou's}} head off at point blank range.
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Averted by Xanxus' guns.
* [[Bowdlerise]]: It seems that the series' central
** 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 130 ⟶ 128:
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Gokudera.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Tsuna (borderline [[Chew Toy]] at first, it must be said). Also Lambo. And Skull among the Arcobaleno.
** Levi gets quite a lot of abuse from the other members of the Varia.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Shounen will be shounen.
* [[Camp Gay]]: Lussuria, all the way.
** Lampshaded in one of the mini-comics, where the narration tells us that Lussuria is likely to be quickly forgotten by readers as he is little more than a perverted gay stereotype. He takes great issue with this assessment.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Tsuna of his feelings for Kyoko.
* [[Can't Live Without You]]
Line 166 ⟶ 164:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Hibari personified.
** Just moments after {{spoiler|the revival of their power}}, the {{spoiler|Shimon Family}} completely trashes the Vongola and {{spoiler|[[Oh Crap|destroys their rings]]}}.
** {{spoiler|And after getting their [[New Powers
** More recently, {{spoiler|Tsuna's dad, Iemitsu}} did this to {{spoiler|Tsuna}} with a single punch. Bear in mind this happened AFTER the above-mentioned arc.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Tsuna and Kyoko.
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Ranking Futa, and increasingly [[Art Evolution|Tsuna]].
Line 177 ⟶ 175:
* [[Debut Queue]]: And ''how''. Even in the latest chapters, new [[Bishonen]] are still being introduced! ( {{spoiler|"Let me introduce you to the ''real'' six Funeral Wreaths!"}}) And what do we get after the Future Arc is finally over? ''[[Arc Number|7]] [[New Transfer Student|new transfer students]]''.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Is a very recurring theme in this series.
** In Gokudera's case, [[Defeat Means Friendship|Defeat Means]] [[Undying Loyalty|undying]] [[Stalker
** 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
** 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 188 ⟶ 186:
** Tsuna himself lampshaded this in episode 15, when Hibari mentioned that he likes to go out on snowy days and throw snowballs at unsuspecting people.
*** How do you think he controls the school? And the town?
{{quote|
* [[Devoted to You]]: Gokudera to Tsuna, Squalo to Xanxus... really, any right-hand man to their mafia boss.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: subverted {{spoiler|when Iemitsu comes back and reveals that he'd been working for the Vongola family all along.}}
** He's still a Disappeared Dad no matter the reason
* [[Disney Death]]: Squalo {{spoiler|loses in the Rain Ring Battle against Yamamoto. Yamamoto tries to save him but Squalo's pride doesn't allow him and he gets eaten by the shark that's let loose in the arena.}} At least, until {{spoiler|he comes back to life covered in bandages and guns aimed at his head in a wheelchair at the Sky Battle having been saved by Dino's men and undergone major surgery after the large extent of damage done to him by the shark.}}
Line 205 ⟶ 203:
** And the Shimon Family {{spoiler|has a full seven more original flames. While the flames we've seen thus far are the 'Sky Flames', the Shimon Family has 'Earth Flames', with the boss, Enma, presumably having the Earth Flame while his guardians have flames associated with earth.}} Not only that but according to {{spoiler|Daemon Spade, there's a Flame of a yet to be named 8th element that the Vindice use.}}
* [[Elemental Punch]]: For a while, it's Tsuna's only method of attack.
* [[Empathy Pet]]: Most of the [[Cool Pet|Vongola Box Animals]] bear some resemblance to their owners, but this applies especially to Tsuna and Gokudera. [[Tsundere|Gokudera's]] one is a [[Cats Are Mean|bad-tempered cat]] while [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Tsuna's]] one is a literal {{spoiler|[[Cowardly Lion]]}}.
** Not necessarily with Tsuna's pet because it just {{spoiler|reflects EXACTLY how Tsuna's heart is}}.
* [[Enfante Terrible]]: [[Mad Scientist|Verde]], who is willing to cross any moral lines [[For Science!]], and [[Greed|Mammon]]/[[I Have Many Names|Viper]] who enjoys watching people suffer and will do anything [[For the Money|for money]].
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Anyone in the cast, who isn't a woman or [[Gonk]], or an infant. Even if it's a baby. Yes, even if it's Tsuna.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Mukuro... especially in his [[Image Song]]. Also, to a lesser extent, Belphegor.
** {{spoiler|[[Spell My Name
* [[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 222 ⟶ 220:
* [[Fail O'Suckyname]]:
** The name Shitt. P.
** Futa, if you know what I mean....
* [[Faking the Dead]]: After wringing out fans' tears for over a hundred chapters... it turns out {{spoiler|TYL!Tsuna was just shot by a special bullet and is not dead after all.}}
* [[Family-Friendly Firearms]]: Anime adaptation changes Reborn's gun to Leon, actual bullets to lasers, etc. Also, Future Arc as a whole.
Line 228 ⟶ 226:
*** It also [[Rule of Cool|looks cool]]. And gets [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the first appearance.
** In the Future Arc: {{spoiler|Byakuran's gigantic floating head, anybody?}}
*** {{spoiler|[[3rd Rock
* [[Fan of Underdog]]: Gokudera and Yamamoto. But it might be that they didn't realize that he was the underdog in the first place.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Apparently, "Hibird" started as a fan nickname, but the author liked it so much it became canon. It's even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]]:
{{quote|
'''Tsuna''': "Who made up such a name?!" }}
** Also, Bel's haters call him "Belwhore."
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Pretty much every combat-capable female except for [[New Transfer Student|Suzuki Adelheid]] and [[Enfant Terrible|infant Lal Mirch]]. Future Lal would also be an exception if not for {{spoiler|the Non-Trinisette Policy severely crippling her}}.
* [[Festival Episode]]
Line 259 ⟶ 257:
* [[Gender Bender]]: It's not a normal case, but Chrome/Mukuro does this.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Perhaps the most over-the-top example of this trope ''anywhere''. Every member of Tsuna's crew corresponds perfectly with a member of the first Vongola's circle. Tsuna and Giotto are at least blood related, but they look almost identical despite ten generations separating them. The other guardians aren't related to their counterparts, yet they all look and act almost exactly the same, and some even have corresponding life stories. All of which seems to have happened by ''sheer coincidence''.
** Odder still is the fact that Tsuna and Giotto resemble each other so strongly, yet the other eight bosses (all of whom would be more closely related to Giotto) don't resemble them at all.
*** The oddest might be Xanxus' resemblance to Vongola Secondo (including his attitude and Flames), since {{spoiler|he's adopted and thus has no POSSIBLE blood relation}}.
* [[Genre Shift]]: Starts out as a pure comedy, but after several volumes, becomes a straight-up shounen action series.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Many characters seem to realize that they live in a manga world so they don't question the weird things that go on around them
Line 267 ⟶ 265:
* [[Gentleman Snarker]]: Fran knows how to piss off his sempais just by telling them a couple words of truth.
* [[Godiva Hair]]: Bluebell. Not that there was something to cover. Also Lal Mirch in one scene.
* [[Go-Karting
* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: Tsuna having to gather his seven guardians in order to become the Vongola boss. He has to do this ''twice'', the second time {{spoiler|being after being sent to future}}.
* [[Gorn]]: Recently {{spoiler|Kaoru made Yamamoto a bloody mess.}}
* [[Gosh Hornet]]: Episode 12 of the anime has Reborn casually tossing honey on protégé Tsuna before unleashing a swarm of bees on him. "The mafia always live with danger," Reborn warns Tsuna as the latter runs for his life.
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: Mukuro's whole plan was to {{spoiler|take over Tsuna's body so he could get revenge on the Mafia}}.
** Almost as if in cruel irony, {{spoiler|Daemon Spade to Mukuro of all people}}. Most likely to repeat the past. Oh, and {{spoiler|he is currently doing this to Julie}}.
Line 278 ⟶ 276:
*** "Ji-Endo-Obu Gakkou?!"
*** Not to mention pretty much all of the opening songs.
{{quote|
*** Not all. The first opening, "Drawing Days", had no [[Gratuitous English]]. Rather surprising, considering the song's title.
* [[Gratuitous Italian]]: Though several of the characters ''are'' Italian. And ''Reborn!'' is about [[The Mafia]]. And most (if not all) instances of it seem accurate.
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: For some reason, every mafioso in the series speaks Japanese fluently. In some cases this can be explained (such as with the Varia, who are all required to know at least 7 languages), but not with the Kokuyo gang, who are just ''normal'' extremely dangerous prisoners from Italy. Heck, Rokudo Mukuro, Kakimoto Chikusa, and Joshima Ken are all Italian expats with [[Meaningful Name|Japanese names]].
** 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 293 ⟶ 292:
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: At the end of chapter 318.
* [[He's Back]]: {{spoiler|Yamamoto shows up after being hospitalized to save Mizuno in chapter 326.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Adult Lambo's VA also did [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Seto Kaiba]]. Good luck taking anything the latter says seriously ever again. And hell, young Lambo? [[Naruto]].
** Want more? Not only is Adult Lambo Kaiba, he's also Spanner along with [[Soul Eater|Mifune]]. Squalo is Jonouchi/Joey, [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|Judai]] is Dino after episode 34, [[Yu-Gi-Oh!
*** Adult Lambo's voice also being Spanner is only natural, seeing how [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kateikyoushi_hitman_reborn/v21/c187/4.html even the manga had Tsuna mistaking Spanner's voice for Adult Lambo].
*** Hey! How come no one remembered that Tsuna's mom used to be [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Venus]]? Matter of fact, who would'a thought?
Line 302 ⟶ 301:
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Ryohei, to the '''EXTREME'''.
** VOOOOOOOOOOI HOW COULD YOU FORGET SQUALO!
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Verde fits this. Even has a cool [[Perma
* [[Hot Shounen Mom]]: Nana Sawada. She could pass for Tsuna's ''sister''.
* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: Part of the Jump Festa 2009 OVA takes place at a hotspring resort. Since this is [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys|Reborn]], all the [[Fan Service]] is provided by the guys.
* [[Ho Yay]]: [[Katekyo Hitman Reborn
* [[Huddle Shot]]
* [[Hyper Awareness]]: In this case, it's called Hyper Intuition.
Line 319 ⟶ 318:
* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: Boy who learns kendo in the span of a week defeats a bloodthirsty, expert assassin.
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: Suits are always cool and standard crime family fare, but the Varia one-ups the normal family with their leather numbers. See also the reason Mukuro picked Kokuyo as his base, Gokudera's outfit during his Ring battle, Longchamp.
** While most characters choose more practical clothing, others simply live for this trope. Gokudera and Mukuro seem to be the most fashion oriented guardians, what with their liking for [[Hell-Bent for Leather|leather]], [[Too Many Belts|belts]], [[Chained
* [[Improbable Age]]: Tsuna and several of his classmates and friends are recruited into ''[[The Mafia]]'' while they are still in middle school. Not to mention, Tsuna is expected become the Tenth...
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Dynamite. Yo-yos that shoot poisoned needles. Steroid dentures. A microwave clarinet.
** Behold! [http://www.mymangaspot.com/series/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/158/12 The fork is now a feared Mafia Weapon]. As is the boomerang!
*** Tsuna's X Gloves are also ''woolly mittens''.
*** Hibari's {{spoiler|handcuffs}}. You did not read that wrong.
Line 335 ⟶ 334:
*** And after that {{spoiler|during the Future Arc it is revealed that Squalo's Box Weapon is a shark.}} Seems almost cruel.
** {{spoiler|And of course, that Daemon Spade wants to [[Grand Theft Me]] ''Mukuro'' who in turn wants to do this to Tsuna. Daemon Spade to presumably bring down the Vongola yet again, Mukuro the mafia as a whole}}
* [[Is That What He Told You?]]: Reborn's a filthy, filthy liar.
* [[Jerk
* [[Just a Kid]]: In the normal world, at least. In the underworld, infant or child hitmen are commonplace.
* [[Karmic Protection]]: Haru.
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
{{quote|
'''Other members:''' "Wha?! Like you're not the most suspicious one here!!" }}
* [[Love Triangle]]: Tsuna, and his two [[Tagalong Kid|Tag Along Girlfriends]], Kyoko and Haru. Lacks significance so much, that's hard to blame [[Yaoi Fangirl|the fandom]] for seeking romantic tension [[Ho Yay|elsewhere]].
Line 360 ⟶ 359:
* [[Loony Fan]]: Gokudera.
** Also Levi.
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: Recently pulled in recent chapter by {{spoiler|Vindice}} and later by {{spoiler|by Varia and Kokuyo gang who used spare watch to reenter the battle}}
** Lampshaded by {{spoiler|Squalo, "There is no rule about using spare watch"}}
* [[Lucky Seven]]: There's seven types of dying will flame, which leads to there being seven of ''absolutely everything else''. Usually organized by the [[Rainbow Motif|colors]] of the rainbow.
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
** 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 381 ⟶ 380:
* [[Meaningful Funeral]]: Subverted, with {{spoiler|Tsuna-of-the-future, who was put in a coffin out in the middle of the woods in his no-name hometown. Not even some of his family members knew he had died.}}
* [[Major Injury Underreaction]]: Gokudera getting "run over a couple of times" while rushing to the hospital to [[Ho Yay|give Tsuna roses]]. His response? "This is nothing!"
** Fran. How many knives, exactly, has been stabbed into his back and all he said was 'Ouch' in a monetoneous tone?
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Six Paths Corpse". Wonder who that could be. See also: the Varia.
** Spanner being British-English slang for wrench when he is a technician. Can also be considered as {{spoiler|[[Spanner in
* [[Memory Gambit]]: Combined with [[Time Travel]] no less.
* [[The Messiah]]: Tsuna has evolved to become this.
Line 417 ⟶ 416:
* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]: Irie Shouichi, Verde, Gokudera...
** And Spanner. Don't forget Spanner.
* [[New Powers
* [[New Transfer Student]]: AND he's half-foreigner!
** A later arc features 7 new transfer students. {{spoiler|Actually, they're guests sent by the Vongola Family to the Inheritance Ceremony, the Shinmon Family.}}
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Mukuro. A "sea of blood" indeed.
* [[Non-Lethal KO]]: Most battles seem to end like this, even when an attack involves grabbing your opponent's head with a ''flaming hand''.
Line 442 ⟶ 441:
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: Considering the majority of the cast are members of [[The Mafia]], you don't see them doing a lot of... mafia stuff. Whatever happened to collecting "rent" from shops or running gambling joints? And cement shoes?
** This is justified in the latest arc, where the Ninth boss explains that while the Vongola started out as an outlaw vigilante group, from the second boss on they began to drift more and more to the side of traditional organized crime. In fact, the whole reason Ninth wants Tsuna to become the next boss is because his crew DOESN'T do mafia stuff, and he wants Tsuna to return the Vongola to how they were at the beginning.
*** So basically, everyone in the family EXCEPT the main cast is doing [[The Sopranos|Sopranos]] stuff off-panel, while Tsuna is busy saving the universe.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Kiuchi Hidenobu, whose more famous roles include the composed and usually taciturn Hei of ''[[Darker
* [[Playing
** 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
* [[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 468 ⟶ 467:
** Also, it's probably a bit more than coincidence that the tenth generation Vongola boss and ring guardians look almost exactly the first generation.
*** Hello, the title of the series is Reborn?
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: The box animals of the protagonists are usually mammals (or sea creatures) while the Real Six Furneral Wreathes get insects or {{spoiler|[[Everything's Better
* [[Rescue Arc]]
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Hibird, and later, {{spoiler|Hibari's hedgeho-- I mean, porcupine}}.
Line 483 ⟶ 482:
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: "Pain is no longer painful to extreme!" and "Painless things aren't painful either!" Ryohei...
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: For Tsuna, pretty much the first sixty chapters of the manga. Then Gokudera and Tsuna ''[[Ho Yay|together]]'' have one in a forest, trying to dry off.
** Ryohei goes topless during his fight against Lussuria. Unfortunately, this only serves to make Lussuria his [[Hard Gay|hardcore fanboy]].
** The mangaka seems to grab any chance she can to get Xanxus' shirt off.
** Yamamoto got one in the anime, which verged on [[Shower Scene]]. With more Fanservice of the gratuitous [[Ho Yay]] sort, as Gokudera (again) comes in the changing room and starts taking off his shoes while sitting in front of a standing, still shirtless Yamamoto.
Line 489 ⟶ 488:
*** Um, do want. What episode was this?
**** Episode 100
** In the OVA there's a fight between the Varia and the Vongola, inside an [[Onsen Episode|onsen]] which is obviously one big and fanservicey shirtless scene for everyone, incluiding [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|Hibari]]!
** Chapter 372 gives us Fong's turn at a shirtless scene. In his adult form, of course.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In chapter 309, Lambo runs off after a [[Alice in Wonderland
* [[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 507:
* [[So Last Season]]: Despite the serie's biggest gimmick at first, the Dying Will Bullet, is pretty much retired after Tsuna gains the Rebuke Pills.
* [[The Spartan Way]]: Reborn, Colonnello, and Lal Mirch all love to beat up their students.
** Tsuna even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this with Colonnello and Reborn: "He's even more Spartan than Reborn..!" * is beat up*
* [[Spell My Name
** Most of these can be resolved with a decent knowledge of Italian language. It's Lussuria (="lust"), Colonnello (="colonel"), Mosca (=the insect called "fly"). As for Chiavarone (which is a real-life Italian surname, Google confirms it) / Cavallone (=more or less "big horse" ,though it's a rather colloquial term), they both are valid Italian words so I'm not sure about this. Also, while not an Italian word, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Mammon, which is the name of the demon of Greed (following the Seven Sins naming motif the Varia seem to use).
* [[Spit Take]]: Both Tsuna and Yamamoto do one at the same time when Lambo comes in and tells them that, "right now, in the shower... '''THERE'S A LOT OF BOOBIES!!'''"
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Oh lord, Xanxus. Made especially noticeable when his [[Rage Against the Mentor|resent about his childhood]] isn't nearly as justified as [[Butt Monkey]] Tsuna's.
Line 515:
** For the non-manga readers, {{spoiler|the X-Gloves}} in the first opening, {{spoiler|the existence of the non-sky Vongola Boxes, the Vongola Box Animals, and five of the six Real Funeral Wreathes}} in the 7th opening.
** In the eight opening, {{spoiler|Byakuran's final form.}}
* [[Stalker
** Haru could be considered one at her very first appearances, from when she liked Reborn.
* [[Status Buff]]: This is what the sun flame is about.
* [[Stay in
** Granted they have no actual fighting ability anyway, and ''someone'' has to look after the boys while they're training.
** Some fans find this especially odd considering that the author of the series is a woman.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Byakuran
Line 541:
* [[Third Person Person]]: Haru, Lambo-san.
* [[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|
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: The anime is so good at this.
{{quote|
* [[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
* [[Took a Level
** 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
* [[Trigger Happy]]: Reborn
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Gokudera
Line 563:
* [[Uke]]: Tsuna may very well be the poster boy for this trope.
* [[Uncanny Family Resemblance]]: Tsuna to his ancestor Vongola Primo. Another example that makes a lot less sense is [http://www.mymangaspot.com/series/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/226/08/ Xanxus to the Second], considering that {{spoiler|he isn't even supposed to be related or have any real Vongola blood in him. Are they really sure he isn't the Ninth's secret love child?}}
** Also Uni, Aria and Luche.
** And {{spoiler|Hibari to the first Cloud Guardian, Yamamoto to the first Rain Guardian, Mukuro to the first Mist Guardian (who was a traitor to the Family), Gokudera to the first Storm Guardian...}} You get the picture.
** And Hibari to Arcobaleno Fong, to the point where I-Pins crush on Hibari comes from his resemblance to him. The reason is never explained.
Line 577:
* [[Up to Eleven]]: Tsuna's taking his act up a notch when {{spoiler|Yamamoto nearly gets chopped in half by a "mysterious" person}}.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Colonnello, kora! Although sadly, taken out in the Viz Media translations.
** Haru has a tendency to say "hahi!" when surprised.
** Ken also tends to end his sentences with "pyon!"
** The loudest mafia member has one. Goes something like this: "VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI!" remember him?
Line 583:
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|While normally calm and polite, Byakuran finally loses his cool after Uni's [[Heroic Sacrifice]], complaining that Uni was a toy and that without her, his plans are ruined, all because of her key importance in his plans to become ruler of all time and space}}.
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: Just watch any early episodes and see how much they have changed. Special mention goes to Tsuna, Gokudera and I-pin.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: [http://www.mymangaspot.com/series/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/62/1 Chapter 62 of the manga]. Up until that episode, it is an irritatingly light-hearted manga, to the point where you have to think "[[Fridge Logic|Why doesn't Tsuna]] [[You Can't Fight Fate|just accept his]] [[Cursed
** Chapter 314. {{spoiler|Byakuran}} is back. 0.0
*** Chapter 354 {{spoiler|Byakuran and the Funeral Wreaths are back! Yuni has been ressurected! YUNI AND BYAKURAN ARE TEAMING UP!!}} O_O
Line 600:
* [[You Can't Thwart Stage One]]: {{spoiler|Daemon Spade succeeds in possessing Mukuro's body in chapter 335.}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Mukuro, in bonus pineapple hairstyle.
** 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.
