| + | '''Reborn''' is the eponymous character of the ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn!]]'' series, who showed up one day to train [[Tsunayoshi Sawada]] to be the next boss of the [[Vongola Famiglia]]. As Tsuna's tutor he is a central presence across the Reborn [[List of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! chapters and volumes|manga]] and the [[List of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! episodes|anime]] adaption. Additionally Reborn cannot be missed in the series' video games, drama CDs, and promotional materials. |
||
| + | Sent by [[Timoteo|Vongola Nono]], he is a member of the [[Mafia]] and renowned for a multitude of reasons. Though in the form of a baby, Reborn holds the title of The World's Strongest Hitman. An [[Arcobaleno]], he is the holder of the Yellow [[Arcobaleno Pacifier]]. Acquainted with many, particularly assassins such as [[Bianchi]], and [[Dino]], where he is also familiar with Tsuna's dad, [[Iemitsu Sawada]], Reborn can bring in others for his often incomprehensible escapades. |
||
| − | ==Character Outline== |
||
| − | '''Reborn''' (リボーン, ''Ribōn'') is the infant home tutor of [[Tsunayoshi Sawada|Tsuna]] and the world's strongest hitman. Before he received the [[Arcobaleno Curse]], he greeted people with the word "Chaos". However, he says "Ciaossu" while he is in his cursed form due to his undeveloped vocal cords as a two-year-old. "Ciaossu", incidentally, is a combination of the Italian and Japanese greetings "Ciao" and "Ossu". |
||
| + | Fond of his disguises and various personas, Reborn has unconventional ways of tutoring that he is delighted to share with Tsuna. It comes from a place of helping him however, where Reborn would practically address Tsuna's "no-good" label given to him by others. Further, by helping tie in [[Hayato Gokudera]] and [[Takeshi Yamamoto]] among others into his life, Reborn would additionally bolster the developing family where they could prevail in what could be a ruthless mafia world. |
||
| − | ===Appearance=== |
||
| − | He wears a black fedora with a thick orange stripe running across the sides of the cone. He has black eyes and wears an all-black suit with black boots and a red long sleeved polo with a blue necktie underneath. His adult form, however, wears a yellow long sleeved polo. Reborn has also worn many various [[Reborn Costumes|costumes]] that vary in design and creativity. He is always seen with his pet chameleon [[Leon]] on the brim of his hat along with his [[Sun Flame|Sun]] [[Arcobaleno Pacifiers|Arcobaleno Pacifier]]. |
||
| + | {{Looking for|type=the manga series|Katekyo Hitman Reborn!}} |
||
| − | ===Personality=== |
||
| − | Among all the Arcobaleno, he is said to be the strongest. It was revealed in a flashback that Reborn initially showed anger towards the [[Arcobaleno Curse|Arcobaleno curse]]; however, after a period of exile, he came to accept it, asking Shamal to "erase" his old self. As an Arcobaleno, he remains fairly calm through any situation and always putting a straight face, even in his "fights" against Colonnello. He also likes to occasionally tease his students, much to both Dino's and Tsuna's dismay. He did, however, admit to have snapped when Timoteo was revealed to be in [[Mosca#Gola Mosca|Gola Mosca]] during the [[Varia Arc]], and was also shown to be enraged when he could only helplessly watch as Tsuna was being beaten up by [[Daemon]]. |
||
| − | == |
+ | == Appearance == |
| + | [[File:Reborn full body manga.png|150px|thumb|left|Reborn with Leon the shape-changing chameleon]] |
||
| − | Reborn mostly takes a mentoring back seat in the arcs, rather than the direct fighting; however, he can be credited with helping Tsuna achieve much higher levels and gain new, more powerful attacks. |
||
| + | Reborn is a small infant with large eyes that are almost completely black. He has black spiky hair that remains so even under his hat, and unique thin curly sideburns. His main outfit is a small all black suit, with a red long-sleeved shirt. Additionally, Reborn wears a black necktie that can be in different colors such as blue. The most distinguished piece of clothing is his black fedora that features an orange stripe. [[Leon]], his animal partner, is usually seen resting on the brim of his hat. |
||
| + | [[File:Reborn in Aoi Yume.PNG|150px|thumb|left|His height and regular appearance]] |
||
| − | ===[[Daily Life Arc]]=== |
||
| + | Like all Arcobaleno, Reborn has a pacifier on his chest, specifically the Yellow [[Arcobaleno Pacifier]]. This radiates a light when other Arcobaleno are near. After his curse is lifted, Reborn loses the pacifier, however, he compensates with a replica pacifier with the claim that he could not be at ease without one.<ref name="chap409"/> |
||
| − | [[File:Reborn's debut.png|thumb|left|Reborn's debut]] |
||
| − | Reborn is introduced and he is shown wearing many costumes and appearing in his many hideouts. He is a known celebrity at [[Mafia Land]]. |
||
| + | [[File:Adult Reborn bunko 21 cover.png|150px|thumb|left|Reborn from Volume 21 of the bunko edition.]] |
||
| − | ===[[Kokuyo Arc]]=== |
||
| + | Reborn's true form is a tall and lean man. He wears a yellow long-sleeved shirt instead, and his blazer is changed to a waistcoat in some promotional images. Sometimes, his shadow is in the shape of his original adult form, which is visible to some as when he first shows up to train [[Dino]], or [[Takeshi Yamamoto]]. |
||
| − | ====List Countdown==== |
||
| − | Before he learns of the seriousness of the attacks, Reborn, along with [[Nana Sawada|Nana]] encourages Tsuna to learn how to defend himself. But when he and Tsuna visit the hospital after Ryohei falls prey to the attacks, he discovers the watch. When Leon's tail falls off, the severity hits him. He reads Tsuna the letter he received from the [[Timoteo|Ninth]], and opts to gather a group to do battle with [[Mukuro Rokudo|Mukuro]]'s [[Kokuyo Junior High Gang|gang]]. |
||
| + | Reborn has also worn numerous [[Reborn Costumes|costumes]] that vary in design and creativity. The costumes are realistic enough to either blend into the surroundings or to disguise into another person entirely. In donning such attire Reborn is able to have others see him as them, such as where [[Ryohei Sasagawa]] sees him as Master PaoPao, even where it is obvious to Tsuna that it's Reborn. |
||
| − | ====Kokuyo Land Invasion==== |
||
| − | [[Bianchi]], [[Takeshi Yamamoto|Yamamoto]], and [[Hayato Gokudera|Gokudera]] join Reborn and Tsuna as they begin their offensive. During Takeshi's bout with Ken, he kicks Tsuna into the Botanical Dome because he expressed concern over Takeshi. He helps the two out of the hole after Takeshi wins the fight and accompanies the group to a rest area, where he sleeps through the encounters with [[M.M.]] and [[Birds]]. |
||
| − | When Reborn awakens, Tsuna runs off to go and pursue [[Fuuta]], and the rest of the group stays behind to take on the next killer, who turns out to be the [[Lanchia|Fake Mukuro]]. When Gokudera is temporarily incapacitated by [[Shamal]]'s [[Trident Mosquito]] side effects, he watches as Yamamoto takes on the Fake Mukuro. He and Takeshi simultaneously figure out and reveal the trick of the Steel Serpent Ball. But, it wasn't enough for his future pupil to win. As Bianchi steps to the plate to fight next, and is nearly pulverized, Reborn shoots Tsuna with the final Dying Will Bullet just before he catches the weapon. Reborn looks on as Tsuna takes the win, and as [[Lancia]] reveals that Mukuro is actually still up ahead. |
||
| + | == Personality == |
||
| − | ====Mukuro Face-off==== |
||
| + | Confident in his posture and manner of speaking, Reborn proudly declares his status as the strongest hitman. He shows it as well by being capable of employing various techniques and resorting to an all manner of weapons appropriate to the circumstances. He remains calm throughout matters and always puts on a poker face. Ever in control of a situation, Reborn has the means to counter sneak attacks such as returning a grenade from Lambo right back at him, to being able to overcome much larger opponents in the event he is physically manhandled. |
||
| − | Reborn is forced to condone leaving Gokudera behind to take on [[Chikusa Kakimoto|Chikusa]] and supplies Tsuna with the whip [[Dino]] gave him. He mainly observes as Tsuna frees Fuuta from possession and gains his new X-Gloves to battle with Mukuro, only intervening when Tsuna panics in the midst of the fight, and he has to talk some sense into him. |
||
| + | [[File:Reborn Smiles.PNG|thumb|Reborn's sly and self-assured smile|left]] |
||
| − | ===[[Varia Arc]]=== |
||
| + | Reborn is normally mischievous, unpredictable and comically sadistic, earning the "Spartan tutor" nickname from Tsuna. He enjoys pulling pranks, teasing his students, and generally sowing chaos for his own amusement. Reborn is also fond of cosplaying and dressing up for dramatic effect, often tailoring it for the situation at hand. Despite his playfulness, as Tsuna's tutor, most of the activities he carries out is for his student's sake. Reborn teaches with the intent to make Tsuna a splendid boss. |
||
| − | Reborn, during the down time between Ring Battles, trains Tsuna on how to use the Dying Will [[Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition|Zero Point Breakthrough]] in order to take on and defeat [[Xanxus]]. However, when [[Kyoya Hibari|Hibari]] returns from training after Hayato's Storm Ring Battle, to bite everyone-Varia and Tsuna's Family- to death, Reborn placates him by promising that he may be able to battle Mukuro again, which greatly pleases Hibari. For the remainder of the Arc, Reborn has a mainly static role of training and commenting. He lastly shoots Tsuna at the start of the fight when [[Xanxus]] tries to gain a cheap shot before the match starts and watches as Tsuna's Family proves victorious in the Sky Battle. |
||
| + | A subtle deterministic side is shown that was only hinted at and it was not until the end that Reborn expressed the extent of his fatalistic thinking.<ref name="ch390">{{KHRRef|chap|390}}</ref> It was revealed in a flashback that Reborn initially showed great anger towards the [[Arcobaleno Curse]]. However, after a period of wandering, he came to accept it, and asked Shamal to erase his personal history.<ref name="ep149">{{KHRRef|anime|149}}</ref> Afterwards, he believed that dying as an Arcobaleno was inevitable, and was even resigned to becoming a member of the [[Vindice]], until Tsuna convinced him to fight for otherwise.<ref name="ch390"/><ref name="ch393">{{KHRRef|chap|393}}</ref> |
||
| − | ===[[Future Arc]]=== |
||
| − | ====Arrival & The Search for the Strongest==== |
||
| − | [[File:Actual Reborn.jpg|thumb|250px|Reborn's true appearance silhouetted]]Reborn is the first to be transported to the Future and trapped there. It is not yet revealed how he found his way to the Vongola Headquarters, but he is next seen greeting Tsuna and Gokudera as they arrive there with [[Lal Mirch]], though he has to wear a special suit to keep from being killed by the anti Tri-ni-set radiation that [[Byakuran]] is pumping into the atmosphere. The anti Tri-ni-set radiation affects the Arcobaleno severely, paralyzing their movement and killing them slowly, but it does not seem to have an effect on normal people. Reborn reveals to Tsuna that he needs to gather all seven of his guardians to do battle with [[Byakuran]]'s forces. Reborn doesn't venture out of the base at all during this plotline due to the radiation. He does, however, help Tsuna with his training after he returns with [[Kyoko Sasagawa|Kyoko]], [[Haru Miura|Haru]], [[I-Pin]], [[Lambo]], and the Yamamoto from 10 years ago by getting Tsuna to realize what his true goals are, which were to "protect everybody," not "to return to the past." |
||
| + | While he rarely displays genuine anger, Reborn has admitted to having snapped when the [[Moska|Gola Moska]] was revealed to be carrying Timoteo. He was also enraged when he could only helplessly watch as Tsuna was being beaten up by [[Demon Spade]]. Reborn's temper is formidable and intimidating enough that even the normally impassive [[Cervello]] have expressed apprehension in response to it.<ref name="ch122">{{KHRRef|chap|122}}</ref> |
||
| − | ====Merone Base Invasion==== |
||
| − | Reborn appears after Tsuna is captured by Spanner as a hologram projected by Tsuna's headphones and witness to Spanner instructing Tsuna on how to use the contacts to perfect his [[X-Burner]]. He remains with Tsuna for the rest of the invasion, and gets [[Giannini]] to program a holographic distraction during Tsuna's fight with [[Genkishi]]. When [[Shoichi Irie]] reveals that he is an ally of the Vongola, Reborn believes him, mostly because he answered the questions that Reborn had being thinking about since he was sent to the Future. |
||
| + | Having a master's degree in mathematics, Reborn is able and comfortable with teaching others. For other interests, Reborn's favorite drink is coffee espresso.<ref name="data77p22"/> [[Wikipedia:Starbucks#Products|Venti]] is his standard.<ref>{{KHRRef|vol|10|chap=|notes=[[Chapter 82]] extra}}</ref> His favorite food is vongole fettuccine as well as what [[Nana Sawada|maman]] makes.<ref name="data77p22"/> For hobbies they include napping, tutoring Tsuna, and weapons maintenance.<ref name="data77p22"/> That Reborn is a member of the Italian bird society likely indicates his interest in them. For traits Reborn shares with others, as with Colonnello, he often sleeps with his eyes open, as does his pet chameleon, Leon. |
||
| − | ====[[Arcobaleno Trials Arc]]==== |
||
| − | As Tsuna and his Family are sent back to the past, Reborn tells them the few Abilities and characteristics of the Arcobaleno. He also remembers that the current Sky Arcobaleno is missing, which may become a predicament for Tsuna in the Future Trials. He also reminded Tsuna that he is also an Arcobaleno, in which he says that he would not hold back during the Trial. [[File:Tsuna Defeated.PNG|thumb|250px|left|Tsuna defeated by Reborn]] |
||
| + | The support he provides others is notable. When undergoing training Tsuna, should progress need to be sped up Reborn is more than willing to take shortcuts such as using the dying will bullet to have him train, even rest, to excel quicker. It is applied to others on occasion, for Gokudera he prepares a personal training program for him. He takes to training Yamamoto personally for him to develop his sword skills. As Master PaoPao it is similar when assisting Ryohei with his training. |
||
| − | During Reborn's Arcobaleno Trial, he informs Tsuna that his Trial was a seven-on-one, all-out battle with him, and that all six of the Guardians, including Lambo, were to participate. He knocks out Tsuna and takes down Hibari, Chrome, Ryohei, Gokudera, and Yamamoto. When Tsuna finally comes to, the sleeping Lambo is the only one who was in a good condition. [[File:Reborn's seal.jpg|thumb|250px|Reborn giving Tsuna his 7th and last seal]] Tsuna at first does not want to fight Reborn, but Reborn tells him that he's still "too soft" and that his fallen comrades are his responsibility. Tsuna finally accepts this and enters [[Hyper Dying Will Mode|Hyper Dying Will Mode]] and fights Reborn. Reborn allowed himself to be beaten into a wall but Tsuna stops as he is about to use his X-Burner and gets shot down by Reborn's Chaos Shot, who said "I cannot pass a person not fit to be Boss." |
||
| + | == Abilities == |
||
| − | He gets captured by Verde, along with all the other Arcobaleno besides Aria, using a variation of anti Tri-Ni-Set waves, which only paralyzes them, as opposed to outright killing them. After Verde's trial, he was asked for a second chance at his trial by Tsuna, but he said that it wasn't necessary. He states that they completed it in their fight with Verde. |
||
| + | [[File:Hibari and Reborn.PNG|thumb|Blocking Hibari's attack]] |
||
| + | True to his title, Reborn has exceptional combat abilities, in close quarters he can overcome larger opponents. Having great endurance he can block assaults with thin utensils without any strain on himself. His physical strength is demonstrated when he kicks someone away a great distance. Reborn also has sharp reflexes and keen senses, easily blocking attacks from strong foes such as [[Kyoya Hibari]], or another Arcobaleno [[Colonnello]]. Even with an infant body, he can effortlessly scale high places and land from them. |
||
| + | Able to fire a bullet with accuracy within 0.05 seconds,{{cite}} his reflexes allow him to activate Tsuna's dying will state in the split-second time before he was knocked away by Xanxus. He fired a [[Dying Will Bullet]] to Tsuna even when moving fast or obstructed by dust. When Tsuna was falling, Reborn was ready to shoot him into his dying will mode to save Yamamoto. Possessing a vast amount of [[Sun Flame]]s, his projectile can split to strike multiple targets. |
||
| − | ====[[Choice Arc]]==== |
||
| − | To prepare for "Choice," the war game that Byakuran is making the Vongola Guardians play, Reborn asks Shoichi to explain the rules. While he finds the game tasteless, he has great faith that the technicians will come up with solutions for the problems they will be facing. One of their solutions was to make the Guardians ride Motorbikes for extra mobility. When explaining to Tsuna how to ride, he instructs Tsuna to pop the clutch without Tsuna realizing that it was wrong. Reborn's reasoning is that Tsuna should get the worst parts over first that is his tutoring method. |
||
| + | Reborn has shown great leadership skills. The people surrounding him, including other Arcobaleno, defer to his cues and his judgment while consulting his opinion. In times of emergency, his orders are solid enough to be respected and followed. The power of his quiet leadership is also displayed, in allowing events to play out, Reborn can monitor a situation and intervene if appropriate. In falling asleep even in times of hardship there are merits to that non-involved approach where it prods others to take matters into their own hands, and succeed. |
||
| − | When Dino arrives at the Vongola Headquarters and assigns the Guardians their tutors, Reborn assumes the role of "Tutor Fairy," mostly likely only so he can discipline Dino if he makes any mistakes. |
||
| + | Reborn states that he can read minds, and displays this ability of clairvoyance. It goes beyond intuition, Reborn is shown to know what Tsuna as well as [[Lal Mirch|Lal]] are literally thinking about. Often when Tsuna is considering a matter in his mind, Reborn will speak to answer verbally. A distinct prescience is also displayed, however tense a situation is, Reborn's approach of having events unfold discloses this trait given the unlikelihood of many outcomes. |
||
| − | Reborn is present during [[Yamamoto]] and [[Hibari]] joining the group in the moments before [[Choice]] begins. He sees them all unleash their Vongola Boxes and generate twice the amount of FVs needed to transport them- a whopping 10 million. He is engulfed in a beam of light along with everyone else present. |
||
| + | A far reaching overseer, Reborn masterfully navigated a scenario of enabling Tsuna to show the willingness to endure injury for his friends as they did for him, then having evidently positioned [[Doctor Shamal]], and the adult forms of [[Lambo]] and [[I-Pin]] around the [[Bloody Twins]] they could deal with threats to [[Kyoko Sasagawa]] and [[Haru Miura]] across various locations. Akin to the Grandmaster of a chess board, Reborn's maneuvering helped Tsuna who was in a hostage situation, and then had recourse prepared just in case true danger to the team arose, which also prevented Tsuna from harming himself with the danger having been quelled. |
||
| − | He wakes up in the Lightning Field that Tsuna selected, and listens as Byakuran explains the rules of Choice more clearly. Reborn, along with the rest of those chosen to sit out of the first battle, relocate to the Vongola Audience Stalls to watch the battle of [[Tsuna]], [[Gokudera]], [[Yamamoto]], [[Shoichi]], and [[Spanner]] for the Vongola versus [[Kikyo]], [[Saru]], [[Torikabuto]], and [[Daisy]] for the Millefiore under the Target Rule. |
||
| + | * '''[[Chaos Shot]]''': Through [[Leon]], he fires a set of Sun Flames that numbs all the body's organs and nearly shuts them down making the body act as if it were dead. It functions similarly to a homing missile and can even split into two or more projectiles at will. |
||
| − | Later, he protects Yuni from Byakuran by shooting him, saying that if he lays a finger on the Arcobaleno Boss, he won't sit back and watch. |
||
| + | * '''[[w:c:powerlisting:Zoolingualism|Zoolingualism]]''': A world-renowned interpreter in both insect and animal languages, Reborn has various of the former for henchmen. It is specifically insects who Reborn uses as various types of seasonal insects to spy and gather information. |

||
| − | ====[[Inheritance Succession Arc]]==== |
||
| + | Reborn's main weapon is his shape-shifting chameleon [[Leon]]. |
||
| − | [[File:Ryohei Paired With Reborn.PNG|thumb|left|250px|Reborn paired with Ryohei]] |
||
| − | Seeing that Tsuna and the others need to become stronger, Reborn arranges to have them sent back to the past. While in the past, Reborn gathers the other Arcobaleno to train Tsuna and his friends. He is also the one who explains to them that they will be tested by Vongola Primo's Guardian. Reborn will train Ryohei, as they both have Sun Flames. |
||
| + | {{see also|Leon}} |
||
| − | Reborn begins to stay to Ryohei's and Kyoko's house as being Ryohei's temporary tutor. |
||
| + | * '''[[Reborn's costumes]]''': Reborn likes to wear different costumes and adopt different identities for both pragmatic spying purposes, and for his own amusement. These can afford a disguise for him, or help with the persona he is acting as. It may be thanks to these as to why Reborn has really high "mafia hide-and-seek" rankings. |
||
| − | Reborn was an audience to Yamamoto's trial. |
||
| + | * '''[[Leon]]''': A shape-shifting chameleon and Reborn's main Weapon, it is also his partner. Though not always seen in battle, he is so strong that he can handle Tsuna and his Guardians without any trouble. Reborn regularly uses Leon's transformation ability as props for his many costumes. |
||
| − | It was stated by Reborn that because [[Lampo]] hid inside a castle inside the amusement park and the only objective was for Lambo to acquire three stamps and go to him, it shows his obvious distaste for Lambo and the fact that he had not prepared beforehand. He goes to the amusement park with Lambo, Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto. [[Verde]] finally shows up himself, after sending all sorts of tests on Lambo and defeated by Lambo[[Elettrico Cuoio|'s Elettrico Cuoio]]. Reborn chides the defeated Verde and tells him that he is a tutor and should not do this to his student. |
||
| + | [[File:Reborn firing chaos shot.png|thumb|Firing at targets]] |
||
| − | During Gokudera's trial, Reborn is seen sitting on Namamori School roof top discussing with [[Fon]], [[Collonello]] and [[Skull]] on their counterpart students. Skull tries to brag about him and [[Hibari]], but the rest of the [[Arcobaleno]] there ignores him. As Skull repeats his sentence many more times, Reborn calmly takes Skull and throws him off. |
||
| + | ** '''[[Gun]]''': Reborn uses this to shoot either near or at someone. He also uses this to shoot Tsuna with the Dying Will Bullet or the Criticism Shot. |

| − | ===[[The Curse of the Rainbow Arc]]=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | Reborn is shown to be having a dream of the time when [[Checker Face|a mysterious man]] gathered the "I Prescelti Sette", the aforementioned group becoming the Arcobaleno as a result. In the dream, he recalls the experience, but is suddenly turned back into his infant body. The mysterious man that gathered them reveals himself and presents them with the opportunity to turn back into their adult forms with a competition, where the strongest Arcobaleno's form will be reverted. Reborn resisted at first, but after his Arcobaleno colleagues all agreed, agreed as well. Later, he asks Tsuna and Dino, explaining the curse of the Arcobaleno after they agreed to fight for him. Reborn is then seen the next morning walking with Tsuna to school, while the Kokuyo Gang shows up, Verde revealing himself and the fact that he asked them to fight for him, causing Reborn to mentally comment that Verde and Mukuro together were a troublesome duo. Reborn is later on seen walking with Tsuna to Dino's hotel, later following Belphegor, who, upon their arrival, kidnapped Tsuna to Xanxus's office. As Reborn arrives, a man claiming to be the planner of the "[[Representative Battle of the Rainbow]]" arrives, introducing himself as [[Wonomichi]] and states that he would be explaining the battle, who does so. |
||
| − | [[File:Reborn form.png|thumb|264px|Reborn, in his un-cursed form, prepares to fight]] |
||
| − | On the first day of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow, Reborn only goes up to Iemitsu and Colonnello after Tsuna is defeated by Iemitsu to form an alliance with them. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On the second day of the Representative Battle, Reborn takes [[Team Reborn]], his team, to [[Team Yuni]]'s mansion to hear some intel about [[Team Verde]], who were immensely powerful on the first day of the battle. Night soon falls, and the battle begins, with Reborn and Yuni sitting in the mansion while their representatives fought. When Iemitsu terminates his and Team Reborn's alliance, Reborn is visibly angry. When Reborn attempts to stop Colonnello's [[Maximum Rifle]] shot along with Gamma and Tsuna, Reborn preparing to release his [[Arcobaleno Curse]], Byakuran intervenes and takes the blow. When Tsuna is defeated by Iemitsu and the latter is about to hurl a boulder at the former, Reborn, in his un-cursed form, intervenes and easily heavily injures Iemitsu, while teaching Tsuna a lesson about his two largest flaws in battle, though Tsuna is unaware who the un-cursed Reborn is. Reborn leaves his un-cursed form and watches as Tsuna fights Iemitsu. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During the third day battle with [[Team Bermuda]], Reborn noticed that Tsuna hesitated to fight full power out of fear that doing so would destroy the boss watch. Seeing that Tsuna slowly getting cornered, Reborn shouted at him to forget about the boss watch and fight like his life depends on it. Reborn then took out Tsuna's 0 test score, revealing that the only reason he joined the Representative Battle is to make him stronger, Finally convinced, Tsuna prepared to continue to fight with all of his strength even if the boss watch breaks. Tsuna understands Reborn and both he and [[Jaque]] start to fight at full power. After Tsuna defeated Jaque, Bermuda comes because he wants to invite Reborn onto the team. Reborn rejects the offer. [[Bermuda]] created a warp hole and sucked Reborn with Tsuna too because Tsuna wanted to save Reborn. They both arrive in a place with skeletons on the floor. Reborn said that he let himself get sucked because Reborn wanted to know what Bermuda meant about "the truth." Looking up, Reborn and Tsuna see a stone revealing the secrets of the Arcobaleno. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Bermuda and Jager appeared in front of them and started to explain that the Arcobaleno are human sacrifices that Checker Face has set up to protect the Pacifiers from generation to generation. Once the Arcobaleno's life span start to reach to the end due to the curse, Checker Face will choose seven people to become the next Arcobaleno through either contract job or Representative battle and removed the flames of the previous Arcobaleno from the pacifiers, leaving them either to die or becoming Vindice. To get his revenge on Checker Face, Bermuda offered Reborn once again to join him. Reborn questioned why he choose him out of all Arcobaleno and what will happen to the current Arcobaleno if Checker Face was killed. Bermuda explained that he likes crazy people like him and witnessing Tsuna's growth through his teaching is what made him realized how Reborn is different from the other Arcobaleno. He revealed that if Checker Face is defeated, the current Arcobaleno, the Vindice, and everything that involved with it will die as killing Chekcer Face means destroying the Arcobaleno system itself. Reborn didn't mind dying, but he disagreed if Lal and Yuni are getting involved with it. Tsuna, against the idea, declared that he won't let Bermuda win the Representative Battle. Hearing Tsuna's declaration, Reborn decided to follow Tsuna's will. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, Reborn immediately changed his mind when Jager single-handedly overpowered Tsuna, seeing no possibility for Tsuna to win against him and told him that there's no need for Tsuna to die for them, the Arcobaleno since this is the Arcobaleno's problem alone. He told him that he can return the boss watch whenever he want to. Once they got back, he immediately called the other Arcobaleno except Skull to a meeting and told them everything that Bermuda had told him. The meeting ended up to a huge argument when Reborn considers to join Bermuda since he want to stop the Arcobaleno system even though at the cost of his life while Colonnello doesn't want Lal to get into this and Mammon and Verde refused to die because of Bermuda's scheme. Yuni and Fon tried to mediate them, but Mammon used his illusion that accidently hit Yuni and they finally stopped and took her to the hospital and part ways without making up. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the morning, Reborn finds Tsuna and Tsuna says that he has something to tell him. Tsuna brings Reborn to Namimori Shrine, deciding to skip school. When Reborn says that as a home tutor he wouldn't permit it, Tsuna angrily rants about everything that had happened ever since Reborn came into his life and tells Reborn that he's not qualifed to be a home tutor. After his outburst, Tsuna states that he won't let Reborn die. |

| − | ====[[Timoteo]]==== |
||
| − | Reborn is Timoteo's most trusted assassin. Timoteo is Vongola IX, and, as so, is the one who pointed him to teach Tsuna how to succeed the Vongola Famiglia. Reborn thinks very highly of him and respects him. They often communicate with letters about Tsuna's progress and growth when he teaches him. The Ninth seems to reveal many secrets of the Vongola to Reborn since he knew that he can trust him enough with it. When Xanxus stated that he had done something to the Ninth at Lightning Ring Battle, Reborn already prepared with his gun. Also, when the Ninth was revealed to be inside Gola Mosca as part of Xanxus's scheme, he stated that he had already lost his patience but wouldn't fight to appreciate the Ninth's will. He also often convinces Tsuna to think about the Ninth's feelings when he refused to take part in the Inheritance Ceremony. |

| − | ====[[Tsunayoshi Sawada]]==== |
||
| − | [[File:Tsuna & Reborn Drawing Days.PNG|thumb|258px|Tsuna & Reborn]]Tsuna is Reborn's student. Reborn was sent to train him to make him a true successor of the Vongola Famiglia. He is quite hard and fierce to Tsuna, his Spartan methods of training, which make Tsuna more often than not, involved Tsuna getting shot, facing danger, and humiliation. This makes Tsuna become wary of him, and, due to Reborn's involvement with the Mafia, makes Tsuna try to avoid him. However, they later form a bond of friendship that allows them to work together after the many situations they have been through together and this bond is what makes a drastic improvement in Tsuna's ability and character to lead the Vongola, something that Tsuna recognizes, though Reborn still largely remains a teaching figure.Reborn has also shown concern for Tsuna's well-being, as shown when he was frustrated as he watch Tsuna being beaten up by Daemon and wanted to help him if only the Vindice didn't interfere. Colonnello has said that Reborn is like another father for Tsuna, as he is always there for Tsuna when he needs him and will do anything if it will help Tsuna grow. The extent of Tsuna's and Reborn's bond is shown to be very deep, proven when Tsuna shouts at Reborn when the latter about to give up the Representative Battle, which finally bring up Reborn's desire to live longer in order to watch his student's growth. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====[[Dino]]==== |
||
| − | Dino was Reborn's student before Tsuna. Reborn was sent to train him to make him the Boss of Chiavarone Famiglia. Similarly like Tsuna, Reborn treats Dino hard and fierce with his Spartan methods of training that makes the young Dino to become wary of him, and until now, still does. Reborn often likes to tease and make fun of Dino, referring him as No-Good student of his along with Tsuna. Despite Reborn's treatments, Dino come to respect Reborn and grateful of him since thanks to his trainings that he is able to become a great and dependable Boss for his Famiglia. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====[[Takeshi Yamamoto]]==== |
||
| − | Reborn briefly tutored Yamamoto during the Future Arc. Although Yamamoto sees Reborn as a child, he respects the latter's power and skills. Reborn also favors Yamamoto and even revealed an Arcobaleno secret to him after Yamamoto was able to land a hit on Reborn's hat in combat. |

||
| − | |||
| − | ====[[Luce]], [[Aria]], & [[Yuni]]==== |
||
| − | Reborn forms a special relationship with Luce, Aria, and Yuni, who all share the same blood and destiny. Before becoming an Arcobaleno, Reborn seems to be close to Luce and cares for her. Luce was also the one who commented that Reborn's sideburns were his most attractive feature. Reborn is mostly seen with Luce and they were shown to have talked about personal or Famiglia problems. After Luce's disappearance, Reborn was also the first person who realized the resemblance of Aria with Luce and apologized to her for forcing her to carry the Arcobaleno curse. Aria also sees him as a good friend possibly because of his relationship with her mother. In the Future, the first time Reborn met Yuni, he immediately recognized her, just like when he met Aria. Yuni also immediately called Reborn "Uncle." He can act very protective of Yuni because she is the Boss of the Arcobaleno. He is also the only one who understood her feelings and her destiny as the Sky Arcobaleno, just like her mother and grandmother. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====[[Colonnello]], [[Lal Mirch]], [[Fon]], [[Skull]], [[Viper]] & [[Verde]]==== |
||
| − | Colonnello, Lal, and Fon are Reborn's old friends. Colonnello claims to be his great rival but they actually have a lot in common and share some of the same qualities and traits, like having a sharp tongue and sleeping out of the blue. They also often punish Skull when he had done something stupid. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Lal acknowledges Reborn's strength and even admitted that he was the strongest Arcobaleno, though she is often irritated by him because he knows what she was thinking and what action she will take, which ends up in argument. Reborn sometimes like to tease Lal since she doesn't have a sense of humor. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Reborn rarely interacts with Fon since Fon lives in China, but they are on good terms. Reborn acknowledges Fon as a high-skilled martial artist and both of them also give some suggestions to each other whenever needed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Skull, on the other hand, is only seen as an errand boy or a lackey, which annoys Skull because he feels that Reborn never sees him as an equal, but also found that he's afraid of Reborn when he starts to punish him. Skull often tries, to no avail, to prove that he is superior that always resulted him being punished by Reborn. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Reborn and Mammon don't seem to be on good nor bad terms; however, Mammon thinks of Reborn as a shameless and foolish person but, at the same time, is also aware of his strength. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Out of all Arcobaleno, Verde is the one that Reborn doesn't get along the most. Reborn never considered Verde as a comrade and found it hard to trust him due to Verde's obsession with his research and the fact that he will do anything to accomplish it. Verde only thinks of his research and didn't care when he broke the [[Arcobaleno Pact]], and he sees Reborn and the others as merely a subject of his research. He commented that he found it unpleasant to be with the other Arcobaleno and Vongola. Their mutual dislike towards one another is furthered shown when Verde joined the Representative Battle simply because he wanted to defeat Reborn. |

Reborn is the eponymous character of the Katekyo Hitman Reborn! series, who showed up one day to train Tsunayoshi Sawada to be the next boss of the Vongola Famiglia. As Tsuna's tutor he is a central presence across the Reborn manga and the anime adaption. Additionally Reborn cannot be missed in the series' video games, drama CDs, and promotional materials.
Sent by Vongola Nono, he is a member of the Mafia and renowned for a multitude of reasons. Though in the form of a baby, Reborn holds the title of The World's Strongest Hitman. An Arcobaleno, he is the holder of the Yellow Arcobaleno Pacifier. Acquainted with many, particularly assassins such as Bianchi, and Dino, where he is also familiar with Tsuna's dad, Iemitsu Sawada, Reborn can bring in others for his often incomprehensible escapades.
Fond of his disguises and various personas, Reborn has unconventional ways of tutoring that he is delighted to share with Tsuna. It comes from a place of helping him however, where Reborn would practically address Tsuna's "no-good" label given to him by others. Further, by helping tie in Hayato Gokudera and Takeshi Yamamoto among others into his life, Reborn would additionally bolster the developing family where they could prevail in what could be a ruthless mafia world.
For the manga series, see Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Appearance[]
Reborn with Leon the shape-changing chameleon
Reborn is a small infant with large eyes that are almost completely black. He has black spiky hair that remains so even under his hat, and unique thin curly sideburns. His main outfit is a small all black suit, with a red long-sleeved shirt. Additionally, Reborn wears a black necktie that can be in different colors such as blue. The most distinguished piece of clothing is his black fedora that features an orange stripe. Leon, his animal partner, is usually seen resting on the brim of his hat.
His height and regular appearance
Like all Arcobaleno, Reborn has a pacifier on his chest, specifically the Yellow Arcobaleno Pacifier. This radiates a light when other Arcobaleno are near. After his curse is lifted, Reborn loses the pacifier, however, he compensates with a replica pacifier with the claim that he could not be at ease without one.[4]
Reborn from Volume 21 of the bunko edition.
Reborn's true form is a tall and lean man. He wears a yellow long-sleeved shirt instead, and his blazer is changed to a waistcoat in some promotional images. Sometimes, his shadow is in the shape of his original adult form, which is visible to some as when he first shows up to train Dino, or Takeshi Yamamoto.
Reborn has also worn numerous costumes that vary in design and creativity. The costumes are realistic enough to either blend into the surroundings or to disguise into another person entirely. In donning such attire Reborn is able to have others see him as them, such as where Ryohei Sasagawa sees him as Master PaoPao, even where it is obvious to Tsuna that it's Reborn.
Personality[]
Confident in his posture and manner of speaking, Reborn proudly declares his status as the strongest hitman. He shows it as well by being capable of employing various techniques and resorting to an all manner of weapons appropriate to the circumstances. He remains calm throughout matters and always puts on a poker face. Ever in control of a situation, Reborn has the means to counter sneak attacks such as returning a grenade from Lambo right back at him, to being able to overcome much larger opponents in the event he is physically manhandled.
Reborn's sly and self-assured smile
Reborn is normally mischievous, unpredictable and comically sadistic, earning the "Spartan tutor" nickname from Tsuna. He enjoys pulling pranks, teasing his students, and generally sowing chaos for his own amusement. Reborn is also fond of cosplaying and dressing up for dramatic effect, often tailoring it for the situation at hand. Despite his playfulness, as Tsuna's tutor, most of the activities he carries out is for his student's sake. Reborn teaches with the intent to make Tsuna a splendid boss.
A subtle deterministic side is shown that was only hinted at and it was not until the end that Reborn expressed the extent of his fatalistic thinking.[5] It was revealed in a flashback that Reborn initially showed great anger towards the Arcobaleno Curse. However, after a period of wandering, he came to accept it, and asked Shamal to erase his personal history.[1] Afterwards, he believed that dying as an Arcobaleno was inevitable, and was even resigned to becoming a member of the Vindice, until Tsuna convinced him to fight for otherwise.[5][6]
While he rarely displays genuine anger, Reborn has admitted to having snapped when the Gola Moska was revealed to be carrying Timoteo. He was also enraged when he could only helplessly watch as Tsuna was being beaten up by Demon Spade. Reborn's temper is formidable and intimidating enough that even the normally impassive Cervello have expressed apprehension in response to it.[7]
Having a master's degree in mathematics, Reborn is able and comfortable with teaching others. For other interests, Reborn's favorite drink is coffee espresso.[2] Venti is his standard.[8] His favorite food is vongole fettuccine as well as what maman makes.[2] For hobbies they include napping, tutoring Tsuna, and weapons maintenance.[2] That Reborn is a member of the Italian bird society likely indicates his interest in them. For traits Reborn shares with others, as with Colonnello, he often sleeps with his eyes open, as does his pet chameleon, Leon.
The support he provides others is notable. When undergoing training Tsuna, should progress need to be sped up Reborn is more than willing to take shortcuts such as using the dying will bullet to have him train, even rest, to excel quicker. It is applied to others on occasion, for Gokudera he prepares a personal training program for him. He takes to training Yamamoto personally for him to develop his sword skills. As Master PaoPao it is similar when assisting Ryohei with his training.
Abilities[]
Blocking Hibari's attack
True to his title, Reborn has exceptional combat abilities, in close quarters he can overcome larger opponents. Having great endurance he can block assaults with thin utensils without any strain on himself. His physical strength is demonstrated when he kicks someone away a great distance. Reborn also has sharp reflexes and keen senses, easily blocking attacks from strong foes such as Kyoya Hibari, or another Arcobaleno Colonnello. Even with an infant body, he can effortlessly scale high places and land from them.
Able to fire a bullet with accuracy within 0.05 seconds,[citation needed] his reflexes allow him to activate Tsuna's dying will state in the split-second time before he was knocked away by Xanxus. He fired a Dying Will Bullet to Tsuna even when moving fast or obstructed by dust. When Tsuna was falling, Reborn was ready to shoot him into his dying will mode to save Yamamoto. Possessing a vast amount of Sun Flames, his projectile can split to strike multiple targets.
Reborn has shown great leadership skills. The people surrounding him, including other Arcobaleno, defer to his cues and his judgment while consulting his opinion. In times of emergency, his orders are solid enough to be respected and followed. The power of his quiet leadership is also displayed, in allowing events to play out, Reborn can monitor a situation and intervene if appropriate. In falling asleep even in times of hardship there are merits to that non-involved approach where it prods others to take matters into their own hands, and succeed.
Reborn states that he can read minds, and displays this ability of clairvoyance. It goes beyond intuition, Reborn is shown to know what Tsuna as well as Lal are literally thinking about. Often when Tsuna is considering a matter in his mind, Reborn will speak to answer verbally. A distinct prescience is also displayed, however tense a situation is, Reborn's approach of having events unfold discloses this trait given the unlikelihood of many outcomes.
A far reaching overseer, Reborn masterfully navigated a scenario of enabling Tsuna to show the willingness to endure injury for his friends as they did for him, then having evidently positioned Doctor Shamal, and the adult forms of Lambo and I-Pin around the Bloody Twins they could deal with threats to Kyoko Sasagawa and Haru Miura across various locations. Akin to the Grandmaster of a chess board, Reborn's maneuvering helped Tsuna who was in a hostage situation, and then had recourse prepared just in case true danger to the team arose, which also prevented Tsuna from harming himself with the danger having been quelled.
- Chaos Shot: Through Leon, he fires a set of Sun Flames that numbs all the body's organs and nearly shuts them down making the body act as if it were dead. It functions similarly to a homing missile and can even split into two or more projectiles at will.
- Zoolingualism: A world-renowned interpreter in both insect and animal languages, Reborn has various of the former for henchmen. It is specifically insects who Reborn uses as various types of seasonal insects to spy and gather information.

- Reborn's costumes: Reborn likes to wear different costumes and adopt different identities for both pragmatic spying purposes, and for his own amusement. These can afford a disguise for him, or help with the persona he is acting as. It may be thanks to these as to why Reborn has really high "mafia hide-and-seek" rankings.
- Leon: A shape-shifting chameleon and Reborn's main Weapon, it is also his partner. Though not always seen in battle, he is so strong that he can handle Tsuna and his Guardians without any trouble. Reborn regularly uses Leon's transformation ability as props for his many costumes.
Firing at targets
- Gun: Reborn uses this to shoot either near or at someone. He also uses this to shoot Tsuna with the Dying Will Bullet or the Criticism Shot.
- Reverse One Ton Mallet: Although only shown in the anime for comedic purposes, in the manga, the One Ton Mallet has an ability that only Reborn can use. At will, Reborn can lift and swing this weapon around as if it were as light as a feather and if Reborn hits someone with it, their Dying Will Flames would be extinguished. It can also be used as a normal weapon. In the anime, Leon uses his shapeshifting abilities to become the mallet, but in the manga, the mallet is a separate entity.
