Reborn!
Oshimeter
Synopsis
There's a strong chance Tsunayoshi Sawada is the most pathetic middle schooler in anime history. His classmates literally call him 'Loser Tsuna,' he can't talk to his crush without imploding, and he has zero talents worth mentioning. Then a baby with a fedora shows up at his house, claims to be a hitman from the Italian mafia, and tells Tsuna he's the next boss of the most powerful crime family in the world. The baby's name is Reborn, and his training method involves shooting Tsuna in the head with a special bullet that unlocks a desperate, reckless version of himself. It's as unhinged as it sounds. This is a 203-episode TV series from Studio Artland, and fair warning: the early stretch is mostly comedic and episodic while Tsuna stumbles through increasingly absurd situations with the weird crew assembling around him: a dynamite-obsessed delinquent, a carefree baseball kid, and others who gradually become genuinely important. The thing people don't tell you is that this show has a slow burn before it shifts gears hard into serious arc-based storytelling with real stakes and surprisingly emotional battles. If you liked the long-haul payoff of Naruto or Bleach, where early investment in characters makes later arcs hit harder, Reborn follows that same trajectory. The comedy-to-action pipeline here is real, and the bond-building between Tsuna's ragtag family ends up being the whole heart of it. Just give it time to cook.

It's a Valentine's Day episode, and it still follows the same chaotic comedy story format. But when you think about it, in the past, no-good Tsuna would never receive any chocolates except from his mother. This time, however, things are different because he now has many friends (although one of them could send you straight to the grave because of their cooking). There's also a story behind why Hana has a crush on older Lambo, which will be explored in a future episode, as well as a surprising side of Hibari.
Just as the episode title suggests, this is a New Year-themed episode. It features the usual chaotic comedy, with Tsuna getting hit by the Dying Will Bullet at the end. There isn't much new in this episode, so it's not a problem if you decide to skip it.
A training episode for both Yamamoto and Gokudera. I wouldn’t blame you if you thought their training looked ridiculous, but for someone who has watched the entire anime, this episode offers good foreshadowing of events that will happen in the future.
This episode pretty much validates Tsuna’s feelings for both Kyoko and Haru. It also shows how the two girls interact with each other and how they eventually become good friends. There isn’t much romance in this episode instead, it focuses more on chaotic comedy, just like the previous episodes.
For first-time viewers who are hesitant about whether Reborn can actually turn Tsuna into a great boss, this new character will definitely convince you. In a way, this character is pretty much like Tsuna in every aspect and it also reveals more information about Vongola. The episode still has some comedic scenes, but it also features a bit of action. Overall, watching this episode is certainly entertaining because of that.
The episode still follows the same chaotic comedy format, but despite that, it was entertaining. I've got to give props to Reborn because he managed to bring Hibari in. Or perhaps this was Hibari's way of thanking Tsuna for what happened during the Kokuyo Arc? P.S. Even though this new character appears in a comedy episode, you should remember him because he'll play an important role later on.
The new OP looks like it's spoiling the next arc, but I believe it's meant to hype up viewers for what's about to come, since this episode doesn't jump straight into the next arc. Instead, it goes back to the chaotic comedy format. However, the content of this episode isn't bad at all. Think of it as a small reprieve for Tsuna and the others before the battle that's about to come.
The climax and conclusion of the Kokuyo Arc! The fight was definitely worthy of a shonen series, and honestly, Tsuna looked really cool in this episode. Although not everything has been explained and a few additional mysteries have surfaced, it's good to leave some questions unanswered for the future. P.S. I didn't want to spoil it in my review of the previous episode, but let me just say it here: Happy Birthday, X-Gloves! With the end of this arc, the anime is about to enter its battle-focused phase, bringing more action and intense fights!
This episode would make first-time viewers feel anxious. The odds are stacked against Tsuna, and he is literally backed into a corner, with no Dying Will Bullet to rely on. Reborn can't even help him because of a mysterious rule preventing him from doing so. However, the execution of the final scene would definitely pull at the heartstrings of shonen fans. The buildup to the scene, coupled with the soundtrack, is just DI MOLTO!! 👌
Oh boy, I can already hear the fangirls screaming over this episode. Anyway, this episode reveals why Futa was captured, and there are a couple of interesting phrases exchanged between Mukuro and Reborn (unfortunately, those won't be explained until many episodes later). Watching this episode feels like riding a roller coaster, but I do agree that if the arc were to end with this episode, it would feel anticlimactic.
After watching this episode, I bet you'd say, "This is pretty good! It was worth the agonizing 19 episodes I had to sit through." Well, don't sell yourself short. You deserve more, and there's still plenty to come since this isn't even the climax of the arc yet. Are there some missing details, you say? Don't worry about that. Everything will be explained before the arc ends.
If you think there are only three people in Mukuro's group, then this episode will prove you wrong. Admittedly, there are still some comedic scenes in this episode, but most of it is filled with action and suspense. There's even a scene that highlights Tsuna's self-sacrificing nature. P.S. You'd be as deluded as Yamamoto if you haven't noticed what's odd on Kokuyo's side.
There's quite a lot of information in this episode, including the identities of the Kokuyo students who are attacking the Namimori students, where the dying will bullets are made, and a short but ominous explanation from Reborn about why Leon has continued transforming since the previous episode. There's also considerably more action in this episode compared to the previous one. Furthermore, the fact that Tsuna has been given a handicap raises the stakes even higher, especially considering the nature of their current operation.
This episode introduces a new character and also sets the stage for the upcoming Kokuyo Arc. The usual chaotic and comedic format seen in previous episodes feels a bit more restrained, but it is still prevalent throughout the episode. Good job making it this far! The next episode marks the beginning of an exciting chain of events in no-good Tsuna's journey toward becoming Vongola Decimo.
This episode connects to the previous one. It still follows the usual chaotic comedy story format, with the only new additions being the appearance of a new character who will become important later on and a scene that makes you question just how far Hibari's connections extend.
This is a pretty dumb episode, but the place where Tsuna and the others are is going to be very important in the future. The art and animation become pretty inconsistent at the start, and watching this episode is honestly quite draining and boring (no wonder most people drop the anime around this point). Hang in there! After this, it's only four more episodes until things get really good.
I'm not really questioning the part about having a snow episode several episodes after the New Year episode because I know it's another chaotic and comedic episode of Reborn!. This episode shows Tsuna and the other characters competing against each other in a snowball fight. It still follows the same chaotic and comedic storyline as the previous episodes, but it's nice to see them competing against each other before everything gets chaotic towards the end.
Reborn has arranged a zoo trip for Tsuna and Kyoko, but knowing him, there's bound to be a twist. In a way, this episode offers a bit of foreshadowing, and as usual, it's filled with a mix of chaos and comedy. There's nothing particularly new in this episode, much like the previous one, but it's more entertaining, with plenty of comedic twists and some cleverly placed puns.
This episode pretty much shows how the characters interact with one another. It still has the usual comedic and chaotic feel, just like the previous episodes. As for the story, it’s just meh, with some subtle, easy-to-miss foreshadowing. P.S. Are you getting tired of the unremarkable episodes so far? Hang in there, because we’re halfway there.
Another chaotic episode and the introduction of a new character! This time, unlike Hibari, I believe this character has a pretty low female fan count. Throughout the chaotic episode, we also get to see another milestone in Tsuna’s growth, but he’s still no-good Tsuna, regardless 😏
Reborn!
