Katekyo Hitman — Reborn English Dub Episode 1

Episode 1 is simple: Reborn torments Tsuna, shoots him, Tsuna runs around in his underwear screaming, saves a bully from a falling wooden beam, and accidentally wins Kyoko’s admiration. It’s absurd, slapstick, and tonally a million miles away from the future ring battles and flame-using assassins. The English dub of Reborn! was produced by Animax Asia and later Discotek Media (for the North American release), not by a major player like Funimation or Viz.

To motivate him, Reborn uses the "Dying Will Bullet"—a gun that, when fired at a regretful person, kills them only to resurrect them with a final, desperate resolve (manifested as flaming pants and a screaming battle cry). was produced by Animax Asia and later Discotek
