Katekyo Hitman REBORN! just dropped a juicy nugget of nostalgia—hold onto your wigs, folks—a creditless version of its eighth ending flaunting the earworm “CYCLE” by CHERRYBLOSSOM! This melodic slap across the face graced our auditory canals in Episodes 90-101, and it’s now sashaying into the limelight for the series’ 20th anniversary. That’s right! Twenty years of tiny assassins and mob drama, and we’ve all been on this wild ride together. Who knew adorable baby hitmen could turn into our ultimate guilty pleasure?
And wait, it gets juicier! Hot on the trail of this glorious tune comes the seventh ending featuring “Ameato” by W-inds, sneaking up on us like a ninja in the night! These legendary releases aren’t just casual drops; they’re part of the grand spectacle we’re calling “REBORN! MUSIC MONTH,” a month-long emotional rollercoaster where we drown in nostalgia like it’s our last drink at the bar! If you’re not jamming to these tracks, are you even existing? The campaign is dropping creditless versions of all the past theme song sequences daily on their official YouTube channel. It’s enough to make a grown person weep from joy… or terror.
Now, these swanky creditless sequences used to be the dusty treasures hiding in the physical releases of the anime—like that rogue sock that always seems to defy the laundry gods. But guess what? They’ve finally graced the internet, allowing us all to bask in their gloriousness! Dive headfirst into this auditory euphoria below.
The music madness kicked off on September 1 with a playlist packed to the brim with 25 tracks—think of it as the Spotify playlist that keeps on giving! We’ve got openings, endings, and all those delightful earworms from the epic TV show! If your brain isn’t conditioned to handle the tidal wave of nostalgia, I recommend a light stretch and a sip of water. Hydrate or die-drate, my friends!
Let’s rewind a sec: this legendary mango—err, manga—by Akira Amano strutted its stuff in Weekly Shonen Jump from May 2004 to November 2012, wrapping up with a staggering 42 volumes. That’s practically a mini-library dedicated to tiny, adorable criminal masterminds! The anime blasted onto screens with a jaw-dropping 203 episodes from October 7, 2006, to September 25, 2010, thanks to Studio Artland, who must’ve powered through caffeine and sheer enthusiasm! Streaming junkies, you can binge the whole shebang over on Crunchyroll, where they sum it up like this:
Picture this: Tsuna, a meek junior high student—poor lil’ thing—struggling at school, sports, and actual interactions. Then bam! A baby named Reborn, claiming to be an Italian hitman from the infamous Vongola family, crashes into his life! Spoiler alert: Reborn is on a mission to mold Tsuna into a mafia boss. No pressure, right?
