The Katekyo Hitman Reborn! TV anime is marking its 20th anniversary with a broad merchandise and events push across 2026. The anniversary project, announced in installments, reached its 7th installment with REBORN! Music Month for September. That month includes an official playlist of all 25 opening and ending theme songs on multiple streaming services, daily non-credit video releases of past theme songs on YouTube starting September 2, and a one-night character song listening party on September 27.
Merchandise tied to the anniversary has been rolling out through the summer. A pop-up store ran from July 3 to July 15 at two Tokyo-area Ito Yokado locations, featuring Cutlery ver. illustrations of the Vongola Family and Varia. Collaborations with karaoke chain Manekineko ran from June 25 to August 11 with pirate-themed goods, and with Namjatown in Tokyo from July 17 and in Fukuoka from September 18, offering new cat-ear illustrations and original merchandise. Online lotteries launched in July for watercolor pilot-style goods and a men's magazine suit-and-jacket illustration set.
Figure releases from Good Smile Company and Orange Rouge are scheduled for the latter half of 2026. A POP UP PARADE SP two-figure set of Tsunayoshi Sawada in Hyper Dying Will Mode and Reborn is set for November, and a Nendoroid of Rokudo Mukuro's 10 years later version is due in December. A separate d Anime Store campaign in August put Tsunayoshi Sawada among 14-year-old characters on outdoor ads, tying the series into a broader promotion.
