Katekyo Hitman REBORN! anime has officially released the creditless version of its very first opening, featuring SPLAY's "Drawing days."
Katekyo Hitman Reborn! has officially released the creditless version of its first opening theme, "Drawing days" performed by SPLAY. This release, unveiled on September 2, 2026, as part of the series' 20th anniversary celebrations, marks a significant enhancement for fans, allowing them to enjoy the visuals without the distraction of credits.
The opening sequence featuring "Drawing days" was used in the first 26 episodes of the Katekyo Hitman Reborn! anime adaptation. The song was written and composed by Takaaki Mukai, while SPLAY is credited for its arrangement and performance.
This creditless release is part of the ongoing “REBORN! MUSIC MONTH,” a promotional campaign celebrating the anime's two-decade milestone. Throughout September, fans can look forward to daily releases of creditless versions of past theme song sequences, along with an official playlist of 25 songs that includes both opening and ending themes from the series. The first episode aired back on October 7, 2006, and the series has since garnered a dedicated following.
Previously, these creditless sequences were only available through physical releases, making this online availability a crucial upgrade for fans who appreciate the artistry involved in the animation. Those who have long followed the series now have a chance to relive these moments in a new format, continuing to showcase the breathtaking visuals that characterized the original airing.
The engagement and nostalgia tied to the release of the creditless version of the opening theme provide an opportunity for deeper connections among the community. The anime originally aired until September 25, 2010, comprising 203 episodes, which have left a lasting legacy. Not only does this release honor the series’ rich history, but it also invites a new generation of fans to explore its world. The fresh engagement likely resonates particularly well with both long-time viewers and newcomers alike.
Katekyo Hitman Reborn! follows Tsuna, a timid junior high school student whose mundane life takes a dramatic turn upon the arrival of a baby hitman named Reborn. This transition lays the groundwork for Tsuna’s growth and the challenges he faces as he learns to embrace his destiny as the heir to a mafia family. The series, based on a popular manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from May 2004 to November 2012, showcases an intricate blend of action, comedy, and emotional growth.
The release of the creditless version of "Drawing days" is not just a nostalgic nod to long-time fans but also an open invitation for new viewers to dive into the Katekyo Hitman Reborn! universe. As this beloved series continues to celebrate its legacy, the availability of creditless openings helps solidify its enduring popularity and relevance in today's anime landscape. This initiative is a testament to the franchise's commitment to fans and its desire to broaden its appeal in the ever-growing anime community.
