Sex and nudity in REBORN!

Sexual content is minimal and mostly consists of mild innuendo or brief visual gags. Bianchi's character is often depicted in revealing outfits, and there are occasional jokes about her affections for Reborn. Tsuna is sometimes seen in his underwear for comedic effect, often after being hit by Reborn's Dying Will Bullet. There are no explicit scenes or nudity.

Mild language such as 'damn,' 'hell,' and 'bastard' appears occasionally, usually in reaction to frustrating situations or as part of comedic outbursts. Characters may also use terms like 'idiot' or 'pervert' in a non-aggressive, joking manner.

Mature themes in REBORN!

Strong themes of loyalty, betrayal, and determination are central as Tsuna and his friends fight for their family's future. The Varia Arc explores themes of ambition, usurpation, and the dark side of the Vongola family's history, including the question of legitimate succession and past coups. Characters also confront their fears and past traumas, such as Mukuro's backstory and Xanxus's deep-seated rage and false lineage.
