~ Xanxus ~Research Assignment

By: Elisa Cheng

HistoryXanxus is the leader of Varia and is Vongola 9th’s adopted son.He was born into a family with just his mother, who was mentally ill, and himself. His Dying Will Flame was discovered when he was very young by his mother and brought him to Vongola 9th who agreed to adopt him even though he had never seen them before.8 years ago (when he was about 16) it was said that he led the group of largest coup D'état to go against Vongola.(Later called the Cradle Affair) After he was cast out of family and put to sleep for 8 years.

Character (1)

Personality- Xanxus is a man of wrath. Bing compared to the Vongola 2nd who was known as one who controlled the family with fear. He basically has no manners or respect to others and has a habit of calling people ‘scum’ or ‘trash’. Also, since he has a bad temper, it seems that no one dares to ask him for help or backup especially when he’s sleeping or eating. He treats all those around him as his chess piece, and doesn’t care at all about their life. When the screams of pain were heard he simply stated that it was “noise”.

Character (2)

Appearance- He has full body scars done by the Vongola 9th which was likely done when trying to stop his rebel. One of the most recognizable one is the one on his left cheek. He is seen with his hair spiky and buzz cut on the sides. Along with feathers and an animal tail (most likely raccoon) at the side of his neck coming over his left shoulder to the front. With the Varia uniform jacket on his shoulders as a cape, white dress shirt, black pants, and a loosely knotted tie, together with black boots.Later in the future- his hair has grown out and is no longer spiked. Having his animal tail removed instead replaced with fewer feathers and beads. His boots in the Future are lace-up.

Weapons To those who’ve read the story will know that in the manga, they fight by the dying will flame based on a person’s will. It can be paired up with all kinds of weapon, and in this case Xanxus uses “Dying will X guns” two Guns that are able to absorb and store the Dying Will Flames, increase it and release it through a Bullet. He got the idea from Vongola 7th who has the weakest flame of all the other past boss so he designed a gun that can take in his weak flame and make it stronger (even got him to the place of being boss) Making some changes to it he made one for himself, even more is that his flame of wrath is one of the strongest. Creating a super-powerful blast it also allows him to fly and move at great speeds.

Box Weapon

Xanxus’s box weapon is a Liger called Bester, a white mix breed of sky lion and storm tiger. Having the ability to change from a lion to a tiger whenever Xanxus wants it to. The only visual difference is that when it is in tiger mode, it has black tiger-like stripes. People believe that the reason Bester is a mix breed is because Xanxus combines his Flames of Wrath with his sky flames, which makes it two types of flame (storm has ability to destroy) The Liger and Xanxus have an odd relationship between. The Liger will grow stripes when Xanxus' scars appear, but this is not the only time that Bester’s stripes appear. Is a lot of ways they are the same as also in “mix breed” that Xanxus is the son of Vongola but only adopted.

Group

Varia- “The Vongola Family's elite, independent assassination squad.” They are teamed up with genius assassins who work in the Mafia. They are said that each member takes on missions that are impossible to be done by humans. Not accepting any mission unless they believe there is a 90% chance of success. Their high level assassination skills are said demonic by those who’ve seen them. They may lack loyalty and respect to other members but are extreme loyal to their leader Xanxus. (I wonder how… with a leader that has such temper…)**Each of their names are based off of the 7 deadly sins (somehow…)**

Varia Arc

Xanxus has been in 2 major Arc in the manga known as Varia and the future Arc. In the Varia Arc it’s mostly about the battle between him and Tsunayoshi Sawada (Tsuna -main character) for the spot of Vongola 10th boss. One of the most stand out even in this arc is that Xanxus had kidnapped Timoteo (9th boss, and his father) and placed him inside Mosca. (robot) Using this as an excuse to fight Tsuna in the Sky ring battle, to gain other’s trust. Xanxus eventually acquired all seven rings, but later the Sky ring rejected him for he wasn't a true Vongola descendent. At last Xanxus and his crew were then forced to leave.

Facts• “According to fanbook, Vongola 77, in Fuuta's

(author) ranking, he's the third creepiest mafia in the world and able to defend village if monster appear.”

• “Xanxus was stated to fight "wildly and emotionally, but he combats without futility.“”

• Xanxus' hobby is to make unique firearms • His favorite food is steak and drink is tequila

Even though he hates Tsuna and all other Vongola, but in times of need he will help.“Regardless of our internal strife in times of crisis, when we are attacked by scumbags from the outside. We the Vongola, are always as one!!” ~Xanxus~
