And any other “Daily Life follow ups” that occasionally pop up from time to time in between the more “serious” story arcs.īecause while it may not seem all that important when you’re first slowly progressing through the episodes, many of them are actually incredibly significant to the overarching narrative and tie in with episodes from the later, more dramatic, arcs.

You should watch the entire Daily Life Arc without skipping any episodes.

In fact, as a die hard fan of Hitman Reborn!, and as someone who struggled to get through the arc on their first watch I implore anyone who hasn’t seen the series before to do the complete opposite. There’s even super detailed “watching guides” which break down exactly which episodes you should “skip”, similar to the ones for other lengthy Shounen titles like Naruto and One Piece, but this is an idea I’ve personally never been on board with. I’m not sure how true this actually is, but I’ve always just kind of taken it as fact, since it’s a pretty sensible explanation as to why this initial story arc is so very different from the rest of the narrative that follows it.Ī lot of Hitman Reborn! fans will tell you to skip the vast majority of this arc, outside of the first few episodes that introduce key characters such as Gokudera and Yamamoto to the story, since the stories themselves are fairly self-contained and don’t connect to one another all that much. The arc is allegedly the result of the Mangaka, Akira Amano, originally wanting to make Reborn! a gag comedy series, as opposed to a serious, battle focused Shounen series, before eventually deciding to shift to the latter because she realised that things weren’t working out.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn’s introductory story arc, known as the “Daily Life Arc” is pretty damn hard to get on board with, and it’s probably the worst way this series could have started off, especially if you’re aware of the more serious, and emotionally charged events that occur later on in the story and just kind of want to “get to it”.

Given that the series was supposedly going to be focusing on super powered mafia gangs, it was a bit of a letdown that the first episode consisted mostly of unfunny, repetitive gags and an irritating, whiney protagonist being the victim of said unfunny, repetitive gags. Even I myself, who now considers the show to be one of my all-time favourite Anime series, initially struggled to get on board with the shows premise, and found myself strongly disliking the series after the pilot episode. Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is often said to be a rather difficult show to “get into” by a large portion of its fanbase, and for good reason.
