The Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Kizuna no Tag Battle English patch is a labor of love that transforms an inaccessible Japanese brawler into a definitive fan experience.

Playable characters include Tsuna (X-Burner mode), Gokudera, Yamamoto, Hibari, Mukuro, and members of the rival Millefiore Family like Byakuran and Gamma.
