About the Boss : Tsunayoshi Sawada


Personality

Tsuna is a junior-high student who becomes the Vongola Family's mafia boss-in-training. The reason Tsuna was recruited is because he is the great-great-great grandson of the first Vongola boss; only ones with the Vongola bloodline are able to become its boss. Also, the other candidates in line for the position of the head of the Vongola Family had died. Before Reborn finds Tsuna, Tsuna is known as "No Good Tsuna" (ダメツナ?) for his poor grades, bad luck, and lack of athleticism. He is normally insecure, considering himself a loser. He has a crush on a girl from his school, Kyoko Sasagawa, seeing her as the only reason to go to school.[2]
When Reborn shoots him with the Vongola Family's Dying Will Bullet he comes back as a powerful wielding berserker whose goal is to act on what he had regretted to make it right whenever shot by this special bullet. However, if he does not regret anything when shot, he will die. Ironically, Tsuna's friends tend to remain amazed by Tsuna's actions in such mode, causing several people to be interested in his skills. He also manages to befriend Kyoko, which makes him very happy.[2] Tsuna finds himself thrust into the mob life that is his future and begins to meet not only his friends and future family members but also the challenges that his new life holds.[3][4]
Although Tsuna is the tenth generation Vongola boss, Tsuna is unwilling to take part in anything that has to do with the Mafia. He always denies the fact that he is a future Mafia boss and tries to avoid anyone involved with the Mafia.[3] In the Vongola Test, he states that he would rather destroy the Vongola family than accept its history of violence and cruelty.[5] Tsuna is often surprised and horrified at Reborn's and other mafiosi's actions. Later, even though he still wants nothing to do with the Mafia, he is grateful for the friends he has made since meeting Reborn. He cares for his new 'family' and would put himself in the way of danger in order to protect them. Though sometimes, Tsuna just finds himself wishing that he had never met any of them due to the weird looks they get whenever someone (mainly Gokudera who likes to have one-sided arguments with Yamamoto daily in school)decides to wreak havoc everywhere(especially Hibari who just loves biting random people to death) [6] In the Inheritance Arc, due to the wanting to protect his comrades, his pride is to be able to protect his friends.

[edit]Abilities

Tsuna in Hyper Dying Will Mode wearing his V.R. X-Gloves.
When Tsuna is shot with either the Dying Will Bullet (死ぬ気弾, shinu ki dan,?, "Deathperation Shot" in the Viz Media manga) or the Rebuke Shot (小言弾, Kogoto Dan,?, "Criticism Shot" in the Viz Media manga), or he eats a pill composed with the same material from the latter, his body limits are removed causing dying will flames to flow out freely. The Dying Will Bullet increases his powers to make a task that wanted regrets when he is shot.[2] In the series, Tsuna also uses variations of the Dying Will Bullet that allows him to create any object or to force his strength into any part of his body.[7] When shot by the Rebuke Bullet or eating the pill, Tsuna's body limiters are removed, allowing him to take control of his body with the Dying Will Bullet effect. This is known as "Hyper Dying Will Mode".[8][9]
In Hyper Dying Will Mode he also uses the X-Gloves (イクスグローブ Equiçu Guroobu?), which were created by Reborn's pet, Leon.[10] It is made out of the same material as the Dying Will Bullets and can ignite Dying Will Flames, giving Tsuna the ability to use them as thrusters to fly.[11] Because Tsuna is part of the Vongola bloodline, he has the ability called "Hyper Intuition" granting him greater insight than most.[12] After passing the Vongola test, the gloves are changed to X-Gloves Version Vongola Ring which can also produce a new type of explosive flame.[13] As Tsuna is unable to control the new flame he creates a new attack called "X Burner (イクス バーナー?)" to manipulate it. It utilizes the two different flames created by his V.R. X-Gloves, but Tsuna has problems to control it until Spanner gives him special contact lens to calculate the fire amount.[14]
During the fight between the Vongola and the Varia, Tsuna learns the Zero Point Breakthrough (零地点突破 zero chiten toppa?), a technique originally used by the 1st Vongola Boss. With this technique Tsuna can extinguish and freeze objects and flames of others.[15][16] Tsuna also creates his own version of the Breakthrough called "Zero Point Breakthrough Custom" (零地点突破改 zero chiten toppa kai?), which allows him to capture Dying Will Flame attacks and convert the energy to his own.[17] In his fight against the Millefiore, Tsuna learns a new move called "Burning Axel" and obtains the Vongola Sky Box which contains the Box Animal, Sky Lion Version Vongola, a miniature lion nicknamed "Natsu" (ナッツ?). Natsu is able to petrify flames by harmonizing with them and is able to transform into weapons belonging to the first Vongola boss.[18] Mantello Di Vongola Primo (Mantle of Vongola Primo) which acts as a barrier that wraps around Tsuna like a cloak and Mitten Di Vongola Primo (loosely translated as "Primo's Glove"), where Tsuna can use the technique Big Bang Axel.
Tsuna received an upgrade from the metal craftman Talbot. This gave him the Ring of The Vongola Ver. 10. This new form allows him to access higher level of flame output and a new technique called XX Burner, which works by having the soft flames shoot out back from the thruster on his gloves and the hard flames shot from both of his hands. The attack has a 'face' which is similar to Natsu's in appearance. This attack is so powerful that it was able to destroy the black hole that Emna was trapped in.
