A strange infant, Reborn, claiming to be a hitman for the Mafia approaches Tsunayoshi "Tsuna" Sawada. To Tsuna's dismay, he has just been chosen to become the next Vongola boss.

Since Reborn's arrival, Tsuna begins to meet new and strange people. One of those people is Hayato Gokudera, a Mafia member who wants to kill Tsuna in order to become the Vongola boss. Meanwhile, Tsuna is forced to help the volleyball team, including his friend Takeshi Yamamoto, due to his show of strength in the previous episode.

Bianchi is an assassin who believes that love conquers all. So, in order for her love to reach Reborn, she attempts to kill Tsuna to free Reborn's schedule. Meanwhile, a young assassin named Lambo comes after Reborn.

A strange girl, Haru, is seen stalking Tsuna. In fact, Haru is actually trying to follow Reborn. In order to "free" Reborn, she tries to drive away Tsuna by force.

Just when Tsuna is adjusting to his new life, his school's delinquent leader, Kyoya Hibari, is now targeting Tsuna. Fortunately for Tsuna, Hibari is more interested in fighting Reborn.

A strange Chinese infant, I-pin, comes to Japan in order to kill Tsuna.

Tsuna finally meets Kyoko's older brother, Ryohei, but things don't seem to go the way he wanted when Ryohei nags Tsuna to join the boxing club.

Reborn's former student comes to Japan to visit Tsuna; Dino teaches Tsuna what it means to be a Mafia leader.

Tsuna is suddenly stricken with an embarrassing disease. Unfortunately for Tsuna, the only person who can cure it is a doctor who does not like to treat men.

Lambo is given a simple task of giving Tsuna his lunch by Tsuna's mother, but when he bumps into I-pin, who was carrying a box of nitroglycerin, a mix up causes things turn for the worse.

Tsuna is faced with a dilemma when Haru and Kyoko eat a Gyoza bun that proves fatal to normal people. Even worse, there is only one antidote available.

Reborn strengthens the abilities of Gokudera and Yamamoto through specially made "training programs", which appears to be more than an exercise course. When he discovers that Reborn and Tsuna seem to be paying more attention to Yamamoto, however, Gokudera feels left out.

It's New Years and Tsuna and his 'family' has to battle the Chiavorone Family in a traditional Vongola event. Although, the losing family has to pay a price of 100,000,000 Yen.

Tsuna goes to the zoo with Kyoko, and is glad to finally able to be alone with her. Tsuna's ideal "date" does not go as planned, however, as he runs into his friends in the zoo, who are causing all sorts of trouble.

When Reborn drops Tsuna and his friends off on an isolated mountain, he and others become lost in the wilderness of the mountain.

Tsuna is recovering from his wounds from the previous episode and discovers that recovering in peace and quiet isn't possible with not only his friends visiting, but the fact that Hibari is in the same hospital.

It's Valentine's Day Kyoko and Haru are at Tsuna's house to make some chocolate, only to his horror to find that they are being helped by Bianchi. Tsuna and his friends have to find away to get Bianchi away from them before she ends up poisoning the chocolate.

A small kid named Futa bumps into Tsuna. What Tsuna is not aware of is that Futa is a Mafia informant, whose "rankings" are 100% accurate, and this makes him a widely sought-after target, forcing Tsuna and the others to protect him.

One by one, students at Namimori High are being targeted by an unknown gang. It seems that some of those targets are some of Tsuna's friends, and he has to stop the unknown gang before they attack his friends.

After a battle between Gokudera and Chikusa, one of the gang members; Tsuna, Yamamoto, Gokudera, Bianchi, and Reborn set off to capture and defeat the mysterious gang from Kokuyo, only for Yamamoto to run into trouble right off the bat.

After a quick battle between Bianchi and M.M., Haru and Kyoko have been targeted by the serial killer twins Jiji and Didi under Birds' order. Threatening to kill off the girls, Birds plays with Tsuna and his friends, commanding them to beat Tsuna up.

With Tsuna running after Futa, the others are left to deal with the one claiming to be Mukuro himself. He proves to be too much for them in the state they are in, so all hope lies with Tsuna coming back in time. However, even if he does, there is only one Dying Will Bullet left.

Even after his apparent death, Mukuro still isn't finished as he possesses the bodies of everyone his hit with his trident. There seems to be no way for Tsuna to win with everyone under Mukuro's control and no Dying Will, when Reborn's pet Leon gives off a strange glow.

With the new Rebuke Bullet, Tsuna has reached a new level of power, but it still may not be possible to defeat Mukuro, who still has not revealed his strongest form.

After the defeat of Mukuro, life goes on normally and Tsuna and his friends all move up a grade at school. However, none of them are in the same class, so Reborn offers them a challenge to catch him, with the prize being a change of the roster. Later, they celebrate at a sushi restaurant owned by Yamamoto's father only to find they do not have enough money to pay for their food and have to work off their debt.

A burglar comes into Tsuna's room at night, with Tsuna fainting from fear, only to wake up in the morning to find him dead. Everyone must find a way to hide the body or else go to prison.

When Lambo uses the Ten-Year Bazooka, however, something malfunctions and creates a teen Lambo with young Lambo's mind, and to make matters worse, this Lambo escapes from the house.

Reborn invites Tsuna and his mom to a vacation resort, but they first have to ride on a cruise ship to get there. Once on the ship, Tsuna spots some of his friends, who all boarded without tickets, and he now has to keep them from being caught, but first, he has to catch them.

At Mafia Island, Tsuna fails to prove his identity as the Vongola Family's 10th boss, and is transported to the back of the island where he is given a new chance to prove himself. There, he meets another Arcobaleno, Colonello. Colonello and Reborn put Tsuna through tough training. Meanwhile, another Arcobaleno invades the island with an army.

Tsuna has to swim 15m in school, but being unable to swim, he is trained by Yamamoto, Gokudera and Haru in the public pool. Everyone has his own method, and they decide to compete to see who can get Tsuna to swim the furthest. Reborn interferes this time with a Vongola dolphin that has a dangerous complexion.

To pay off the damage caused in the previous episode, Tsuna works as a lifeguard with Ryohei, only for them and the other boys to be challenged to a swimming race by older lifeguards.
