I made my name on AUs where I replace Tsuna but let it be known that I love him so much. He has such a genuine heart to him even though he’s weak-willed and bitter.

people who spend all their time complaining about a situation they refuse to remove themselves from are annoying, but he’s so young and has so much self-awareness, you get the feeling that he’s fully aware how annoying it is and tries to avoid voicing his more mundane complaints. There’s a constant thread of anxiety and malcontent in everything he does, and the fact it vanishes when he’s around his friends gives the fact he’s willing to kill god to save the people he cares about – even though he’s fully willing to just drop dead if it’s permitted of him – a real punch

He has so much pent-up negativity and like 70% of it is plain old Teen Angst but there’s a remarkable pull in how he’s shy and tepid and constantly picking at his failures, yet he has a really high moral standard and has the uncanny ability to never have his personality shaken, to the point that other characters begin to note that this is kind of strange. He told a mafia boss “sorry, I quit” because “friends” is so high on his moral compass and he’s so unshakeable in his base motivations that he converted himself into an immovable object. I’d imagine this is extremely perplexing to those who might have assumed he was a wishy-washy mild-mannered easy mark

Beyond that, despite how inhuman his emotional bounceback rate is, he’s really grown? He gradually pivots away from lingering over his failures and starts striving for the future, treating the people around him kinder, having more patience with others, etc. Even though he’s still the same base template you really get the impression his heart is always moving forward, and not just in terms of Strength or the degree he loves his friends. He’s actively packing away his unhealthy mentalities and thinking seriously about what he wants in life! This 14-year-old anime boy?? Goals

I suppose its a disservice to replace him with someone who’s personality is bound to his surroundings (Detsuna) or an ACTUALLY normal person (Kou) but I think Tsuna defines the story with his presence despite being a passive character and any addition to the plot who doesn’t have the sheer force of personality of Reborn would just end up falling into lockstep with Tsuna unless you stripped Tsuna of who he is.

The Sawada twins are born hours apart. The labor is complicated and ghastly, and Nana screams as too much blood comes out from between her legs during Ietsuna’s birth. The doctors rush around and try to stop the flow as best they can, and get the babies into the world before the mother can expire. It’s a race against time, and nature herself, but it is a race the doctors manage to win, if only by a few precious seconds.

“You work for the Mafia,” Tsuna points at his Math tutor.

Reborn doesn’t even twitch, the bastard. In hindsight, Tsuna
doesn’t understand why he didn’t suspect Reborn sooner.

“You work for the Yakuza,” Tsuna gestures to his boss.
Pointing would probably have it removed from his person permanently.

Hibari Kyouya frowns. “Heir. I am not employed.”

Right. Tsuna wants to bang his head on the wall. Kyouya was
very suspicious. He didn’t even know why he didn’t think about it. It shouldn’t
be normal to tell people that you’re biting them to death when they’re late for
work.

Tsuna looks to his only hope. “Hayato!” he wails. “Nothing makes
sense anymore.”

Hayato flushes red but accepts the hug, petting him on the
shoulder in comfort.

“To be fair,” Reborn says, taking pity on him. “You are
surrounded by some pretty extraordinary people.”

In reference to his friends. Of course. Enma was the most
normal out of all of them. But after him? There was Takeshi’s baseball throws
that could kill a person and Ryohei’s punches that can break a stone bench in
half. That’s not even mentioning the Dokuro twins.

“My sense of normal is out of the window,” Tsuna sighs. “Hayato,
you’re not working for anybody in the underground, are you?”

Hayato does not answer immediately.

Reborn and Kyouya are suspiciously quiet.

Tsuna looks at Hayato. “Are you?”

Normal is completely
out of the window.

Tsuna turns to look at his table, the toaster still out from
breakfast. “I hope my toaster doesn’t work for the Russian Mafia.”

Kyouya smiles, which brings out the goose bumps in Tsuna. “Tsunayoshi,
the Russian Mafia is called the Bratva. Get your facts straight.”

It was a rhetorical statement, but he was not going to be
the one to educate Hibari Kyouya about rhetorical statements.
