Character outline

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. In the Vongola Test, he stated that he would rather destroy the Vongola family than accept its history of violence and cruelty. 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 a lot for his new 'family' and would put himself in the way of danger in order to protect them.

Tsuna is a junior-high student and the Vongola Family's mob-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 it's 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" for his poor grades, bad luck, and lack of athleticism. When Reborn shoots him with the Vongola Family's Dying Will Bullet he comes back as a powerful boxer wielding berserker with a flame on his forehead and blanked out eyes. However, this will only work if he has some sort of regret at the time. After five minutes, he turns back into his normal self, usually embarrassed by the fact that he's out in public with only his boxers on. 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 will hold.

Abilities

Tsuna in Hyper Dying Will Mode (Rebuke) wearing his X-Gloves.

When Tsuna is shot with either the Dying Will Bullet (死ぬ気弾, Shinu ki Dan^?) or the 'Rebuke Shot'(小言弾, Kogoto Dan) , which is referred to as the 'criticism shot' in the English adaptation of the manga, and the bullets remove the bodies limits to allow the dying will flames to flow out. The Dying Will Bullet causes him to make a task that wanted regrets when he is shot. He becomes much stronger and wilder enough to make that task. 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. When shot by the Rebuke Bullet, Tsuna's body limiters are removed,also allowing him control of his body with the Dying Will Bullet effect.

In hyper dying will mode he also uses, the X-Gloves (イクスグローブ, IKUSU GUROOBU), which were created by Reborn's pet, Leon. At first, it appears to be a simple pair of white, wool mittens, but when used with the Dying Will Flame, it changes into a pair of black gloves with an X engraved onto it^. 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.After passing the Vongola test, the gloves were changed to V.R. X-Gloves which can also produce a new type of explosive flame. As Tsuna is unable to control the new flame he tries to create a new attack called X Burner to manipulate it. This attack utilizes the two different flames created by his V.R. X-Gloves. When attacking, Tsuna thrusts one hand forward and sends out a massive blast of his 'hard flame'. Tsuna then thrusts his other hand behind him and uses his 'soft flame' to dampen the explosive recoil of his attack since he couldn't balance it perfectly he receives contacts from Spanner. He also makes a new skill while fighting Iris " X Stream" where he flies upward whole near his opponent burning them,

Tsuna also learns the Zero Point Breakthrough (零地点突破, Zero chiten toppa), a technique originally from the Vongola 1st. Tsuna goes into a state of Minus point, a pure negative version of the Dying Will Flame. He places his hands together so his thumbs and forefingers create a triangle. In this state, Tsuna can extinguish, and freeze objects and flames of others. Tsuna also created his own version of the Breakthrough called Zero Point Break Through Custom(零地点突破, Zero chiten toppa Kai) . By inverting one hand and hence creating a square with his thumbs and forefingers, Tsuna is able to 'capture' his Dying Will Flame attacks and convert the energy to his own.
