In _Katekyo Hitman Reborn_ , whenever Tsuna enters "Dying Will Mode", his
clothes tear in half (though he seems to have no shortage of replacements),
with the exception of his underpants. This is briefly mentioned on the
[_Reborn_ Wiki](http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Dying_Will_Mode):

> The Dying Will Bullet also has the unusual side-effect of destroying all of
> the person's clothing except their undergarments.

However, I'm not far into the series and really have no idea why this happens
(it bugs me every episode). His muscles don't really expand or anything, the
clothes just seem to rip and fly off.

Can anyone shed some light on this, or is this a case of "[Rule of
Funny](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfFunny)" as a running
gag?

Why does Tsuna lose his clothes when infused with the Dying Will?


Anime often ignore real world's Physics laws. The losing of clothes on being
infused with the Dying Will is used to dramatize the effect it has on Tsuna.
It is to make you feel as if Tsuna's body "grows" when he receives the Dying
Will, causing his clothes to rip apart.

Also, in a number of cases, receiving the Dying Will causes Tsuna to move from
a lying down position to an upright position. This motion may also cause the
clothes to rip, since they cannot "keep up" with the Dying Will.

Another explanation is that receiving the Dying Will is so intense that it
tears or burns things in his immediate vicinity (which happen to be his
clothes). I think this is a case of [Rule of
Cool](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool) in addition to
Rule of Funny, and Fanservice could also be another reason.

The underwear remaining intact is for censorship reasons only. See [Magic
Pants](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagicPants).

I believe that in the manga he does not only lose his cloths but die's then
revive's into a new body. To make the anime more child frendly they just made
him fall down and lose his cloths in the process to note the difference from
before ( except for the flame on his head). Loseing his cloths also adds to
more funny scene's giving some comedian value.
