#vongola family

[vongola-renaissance]

A compilation of my adult Gen 10 Vongola Guardians headcanons of all time:

Tsuna does become the Vongola boss. He does it with the purpose of being the last one, tho.

Tsuna got Mukuro to go along with his plans by promising Mukuro would be the one to kill him one day. He was dead serious about it.

Reborn hates Mukuro's guts and thinks Tsuna is a fool for trusting him. Mukuro knows that Tsuna was serious, so he follows his lead, as long as their deal stands. Tsuna plans to let Mukuro kill him when he's an older man and burn his own body to the ground with flames, so Mukuro can't possess him.

The older they get, the more rebellious the guardians grow towards Reborn. They start maturing and following more Tsuna per se, his ideals, his plans.

Gokudera in particular has a very (!!) tense relationship with Reborn. With age, Gokudera stops idolizing Reborn and engages more and more in open arguments in Tsuna's behalf.

At least once Yamamoto pointed his blade at Reborn seriously. Solving that situation was a nightmare.

Most of them go to university or get a minor degree as Tsuna's requirement to "join" the family. Tsuna might hate studying, but he does not fuck around about getting proper education for all of them.

He hates the Vongola mansion. He buys the ruined property of a poor family for an tbh exaggerate sum and makes them build a proper complex there. It's close enough to the Vongola mansion that he can walk (fly?) to it, so he has all his official meetings there and reserves the complex for the informal reunions with friends and family.

Dino and Tsuna had one (1) major fight. It was about the expectations on Tsuna, the reality of the mafia world and the of course, Reborn. They agreed to go all in only once and then never fight again. Dino promised that if Tsuna was the last of the Vongolas, he'd be the last of the Cavallones. Tsuna promises to give a chance to the mafia world and see what they could make out of it together.

Fuuta, I-Pin and Lambo graduated from middle school in Namimori. Bianchi stayed with them during those years and everyone would visit them regularly.

In that time Lambo realized he'd miss Tsuna too much, so be begged Tsuna to let him go to a high school in Italy, closer to him. They all ended up studying there.

Kyoko stayed in Japan with the kids at first and started studying there. She missed her brother a lot, tho. Haru went to a different university. She was brilliant, but after the adventures with the guardians, common life was a bit boring. They ended up moving to Italy to finish their studies, which means even more shenanigans of Tsuna trying to cover the mafia life and the fact he's rich now.

Yamamoto went pro for a few years. First in Japan, then some seasons in the US. He got an insane network connection lol. He then made an excuse about salary to move to Italy to "play there". The Vongolas own the team as an effort to get kids from poverty into a proper lifestyle.

Part of the Vongola income now comes from sports bets. Nothing illegal. In fact, Ryohei scouts impressive athletes and checks to see if other mafias are interfering in the match. Some athletes and organizations actually pay them to check and eliminate any cheating agents.

They send Hibari lmao. He hates weak people and no one is weaker than those who need to cheat in order to win.

Gokudera unironically takes into cooking and decoration. Is he a malewife? Sort of. If you were Tsuna's right hand man, forced to watch him through the tightest schedule ever while he tries to solve at least 9 generations of Vongola mistakes... He personally prepares the food to guarantee they are not poisoned and arranges most rooms so there's always at least one seat Tsuna can comfortably nap in.

The next trip to Mafialandia is even worse. Either Tsuna is treated like a celebrity so he has not a moment of peace or Reborn sends him on another training.

Tsuna is a champ in human relationships.

The complex is rarely quiet or empty. At the same time, the guardians aren't all reunited as often. They make sure that Tsuna doesn't feel alone and create excuses to show Tsuna the progress of all his effort.

Omg I didn't plan for this to be such a long post. I'd have to do a series at this point 😂😂

DAMN HE'S TOO WHITE IM SOOO STUPIDDDD 😩😩😩😩😩

[dreaming-hibi]

Them: "What are you thinking about?"

Me: "Well, there's the Simon family, right? It's very much implied that all of them are related somehow, since they lived enclosed in a goddamn island, there shouldn't have been all that much DNA exchange there. Also, it's stated that Enma's guardians are also childhood friends of Enma who have lived through a similar traumatizing experience. PLUS, in most official arts of the Simon guardians all of them have red eyes but only Enma has the crosses which confirms that he's 100% a descendent of Simon Cozzato but then... Enma is Simon 10th, although his father wasn't the boss and the family as a famiglia had kind of stopped existing for a while. So, how the fuck is Enma the 10th boss? How big was Simon's actual family that they could populate an entire island?"

Them: "Err—"

Me: "But sure, whatever. THe most pressing thing is, Simon Cozzato named the Simon family after himself. I'm pretty sure Simon was his first name, and Cozzato his surname. Though Amano makes the unfortunate choice of writing his name as シモン＝コザァート, I'm just going to assume that = is just another way of writing ・ which is what's usually used to separate foreign names. Also, Cozzato being his surname explains how Enma would end up being Kozato, names evolve and all of that. This is all very understandable, right?"

Them: "Uhm—"

Me: "But then this BEGS the question of, WHY DID GIOTTO NAME HIS FAMILY VONGOLA? wHAT WAS THE MAN THINKING?!"

To this day, KHR plotholes remain holes.

[rebo-chan]

I've been thinking about KHR's bonds. (When am I not?) And I've thought about the way that Amano likes to write bonds. You'd be pressed in this fandom to find people who don't care about at least one area of it whether that's the Vongola kids, Varia, the Arcobaleno, Kokuyo, etc. After a conversation with my best friend, I realized it's kinda interesting how Amano has somehow successfully created so many realistic bonds for such a diverse cast. Like we see so little of them, but you'd be pressed to convince the KHR fans that the funeral wreaths don't adore Byakuran.

So there's the thing right? Katekyo hitman reborn is the shonen that is 100% about the power of friendship. Like yes other shounens use it and its a meme for a reason, but they also have other stuff going on. Other motivations. Other theming. Meanwhile Tsuna growing up and becoming a better person for his friends /is/ the theme of Reborn. That is the entire motivation for the series. There's no grandiose scheme where Tsuna will save the Mafia world and be the chosen one, though the series tries to put Tsuna in this position to his chagrin.

As evidenced by the scene in Future arc, where Tsuna is unable to light his ring because he is so stressed about sending everyone back to the future and fighting this unknown powerful enemy. And so Reborn walks up and tells him "You're not a hero. Stop trying to be. It's not like you. What were you thinking about when you first lit your flame?" And he responded with "I just..wanted to protect Kyoko." Reborn satisfied with that answer then asks, "And who do you want to protect now?" And Tsuna answers with "Everyone." And then his ring lit up. That's the core to the series!! Right there!! All it ever was 403 chapters worth of these characters just wanting to protect each other.

So, in talking to my best friend, he pointed out that outside of daily life arc, these characters don't really have moments of vulnerability towards each other. Frankly, it seems the cast of KHR is allergic to being vulnerable. There aren't that many scenes of "you guys are important to me. I love you guys." Y'know stuff that tells the audience yeah these guys are close. And when Tsuna TRIES to have these moments, like with Reborn, Reborn pretends like he's asleep and doesn't hear Tsuna say that he's going to save him. Yet somehow, we all understand that these characters love each other so deeply.

And that made me realize it's all in the dialogue and actions, rather than inherent bonding moments. It's Reborn clenching his fist when Tsuna is getting gravely injured by Daemon. It's Yamamoto and Gokudera having a fight about Gokudera not being worthy of being Tsunas right hand man as Gokudera doesn't care for the other members of their family. And Gokudera never addressing this again, there's no verbal indication that Gokudera even heard Yamamotos criticism. Yet later during Merone invasion, Gokudera reaches a hand out to catch Yamamoto when they're getting separated. And later, he protects Ryoheis unconscious body as he is fighting Gamma to the death. It's Byakuran saving the funeral wreaths from their miserable lives and them protecting him even when he begins to strike them down. It's the way Mukuro runs to assist Chrome when she is in danger, or swears up and down that he is not allied with Tsuna but also feeds the Vongola information about Byakuran. It's the way Squalo refuses to cut his hair for his vow to Xanxus, or Mammon's gratitude towards Xanxus's willingness to fight for them. It's Ken ensuring that Chrome is always fed by giving her the snacks and candy they bought. These characters don't need bonding moments, their love for each other shines through their every breath and finger twitch.

And I think that's a fascinating way to write a connection on Amanos behalf. And it was done so well we can't even argue that these characters all love each other.

The way I summarized it is most characters love each other because they spend time together and improve together. KHR characters spend time together and get better together because they love each other

Anyway that's it for this one. Please let me know any dialogue/actions that drive you guys mad about these characters 👀 I know this series is full of them.

[maryallenc]

Lambo and Sasagawa Ryohei are officially the funniest motherfuckers of the Vongola 10th Generation.

Also, the typical KHR crack humor during late days KHR just hits so much more to me.

[vongola-renaissance]

Unpopular opinion, Tsuna is not dumb and the only reason he was half as manipulated as he was is because he was a teenager trying to go with the flow, so he could return one day to his life.

Reborn put him in specific situations where he either solved things off or risked someone's safety (mostly his friends or even the world). Most of the events in the manga that made Tsuna dive into the mafia world happened through kidnapping. The things they were manipulating the most were the circumstances, not Tsuna.

He doesn't want to start a war with the Vongolas because he doesn't want the Vongola legacy.

His friends were tricked, tho.

They are the ones who were actually manipulated most of the time, even if it'd be easier to believe that loser Tsuna was the victim. I'm talking about canon characters like Yamamoto, Gokudera or Haru whose self worth were directly related to how much they could physically do for another person. Tsuna was the first person that looked at them and considered them and risked his life for them. Whenever Reborn appeared with a mission Tsuna had to accomplish, they'd jump to do it just for the sake of doing it for Tsuna.

Although they were being used against Tsuna, at least he knew what was happening. He hated it, he hated Reborn from forcing it, Tsuna spent the manga angry and tired because of that.

Meanwhile, his friends couldn't see that their blind devotion to Tsuna was being manipulated to turn them into Vongola weapons. They all were taught what they should be, how they should fight, their roles within the mafia. For Tsuna, of course. Even if Tsuna only ever wanted them safe, back home, living their teenage lives.

The best part is that Tsuna somehow convinced them that they should live and be happy for him. Where's the post that goes like "you'd die for me? kill for me? then tell me, would you heal and be well for me?"

Reborn has them in the palm of his hands 'cause he's a hitman, he won't doubt about putting them in danger if that serves his purpose.

Got another idea~ field trip idea but different fandom!

Namimori Class Trip to Gotham

Tsunayoshi eyed the man in front, a representative from the Wayne Industries. When they heard about the contest, the class took the chance and submitted their papers. It took them a month of research, going to the library and Tsuna handing out access to Vongola Libraries, he was that serious something his Father was amused about, and he was sure the whole Vongola is aware of it already.

He shared smiles with his classmates, and everyone felt satisfied when they won the contest. The man in front of them introduced himself as Lucas Giordano. He raised an eyebrow at the Italian last name.

"The CEO did a background check, he did it himself so any findings is only for his eyes and there were no copies made. He chose me to be the representative, did not tell me why," He said with a shrug before clearing his throat and started talking. Lucas expertly ignored the suspicious glances and shared their itinerary.

"Part of the prize for the contest was a three-month long internship in Wayne Industries of your chosen fields," He says before he took out a very thick folder.

"These are agreements and permission slips. Read them thoroughly before signing," He says as he snaps his finger, the guards with him moved and placed the papers on te desk.

"In the meanwhile, I was told to take note if this class have any relations in Gotham, raise your hands if you have any relations please, be it actual blood relations, claimed relations or just friends," He says and Tsunayoshi pitied the man when everyone in class raised their hands. His sigh was loud.

"Right. Name and your relation," He says the class did as told. Tsunayoshi was amused to see how the bodyguards eyebrows rose as his classmates started saying their names and relations.

"Yamamoto Takeshi, Bruce Wayne is my uncle in law," He chirped and the man's eyes went wide.

"Gokudera Hayato. I was told I am Scarecrow's friend," Hayato muttered with his arms crossed.

"Delilah Rayne, I believe my online friend is a Gothamite, a Wayne,"

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, Lex Luthor is my Uncle, and I have friends from Gotham, they're students of Gotham Academy,"

"Jeanette Quinzel, mum is the Harley Quinn,"

Tsunayoshi is very amused at how tired Mister Lucas was.

"Will you require bodyguards?" He asked instead.

"As our class is known to be magnets, the Disciplinary Committee and the Hibari Clan agreed to send bodyguards with us. They will be out of sight but we are told they will be there," Tsuna says and Lucas nods typing on his tablet. By that time, the papers was sent back except for the permission slips.

"I'll need the permission slips tomorrow, I already sent to Kurokawa-san the file for the itinerary as well as the guide in surviving Gotham. That is all," He says with a smile and the class clapped politely and started packing their things.

Tsuna smiles before making a beeline to the man, completely aware that Hayato and Takeshi followed him.

"Mi scusi, signore, can I have a moment?" He called, slipping into Italian before switching to Japanese.

"Come posso aiutarti, erede vongola?" He smiled at that.

"Japanese or English is alright, mister. But can I ask if it's alright to miss a few days during the internship? There might be a time that I am called back to Italy by my grandfather, and I'll be bringing a few of my classmates with me," He asks and Lucas nods in understanding.

"You'll have to do make-up days for every day you missed during your internship, only for you and yours, Neo Primo," He says and Tsuna smiles.

"Thank you, that will suffice. Will the Big Boss mind if I bring my own paperwork with me?" He asks again.

"They won't mind. You will have your own office near the CEO, I heard he contacted the Vongola to construct your room," He said, eyes shining in amusement and he chuckled, knowing full well his Famiglia made sure he would be protected there.

"Thank you, mister Lucas,"

30YL Семейные объятья. Все любят Тсуну. :З

[rebo-chan]

Yesterday, I decided to assign all of the Vongola Kids desserts and list my reasons along with it. After sitting on it for a night, I decided to make a post about it!! Consider this my Vongola kids flower post 2.0. (Aka another excuse to infodump about desserts, the same as flowers..) sJKNG one day I'll make a serious analysis post again but today is NOT that day. For now, these are the insane ramblings of someone who looked at a dessert and said "IS THIS A VONGOLA CHILD?" for 2 whole hours until the desserts started to speak back to me. Something something, stare into the abyss and it stares back at you. Please... enjoy the vongola kids dessert-ified... Which one of these would you try personally? <3 Put underneath the cut for length purposes~

Tsuna: Purin Pudding/Custard Pudding

Okay so just look at it. thats tsuna. Soft and smooth, easy on the tastebuds. The special thing about Purin Pudding is that the caramel on top can be cooked for a shorter or longer time to change the flavoring up. Darker is more bitter, while lighter is sweeter. This creates a dessert that if you're someone who prefers a specific level of sweetness/bitterness; a purin pudding can be a good dish to suit your tastes. There's a level of this pudding for anyone. It's a flexible harmonious dessert, and can be enjoyed by everybody. Just like our boy, Tsuna. :)<3

Also, shoutout to my friend who pointed out that in the Sanrio collab, Tsuna was paired with pom pom purin. This was completely unintentional on my part but I'm taking that a sign from the universe that I'm right SGKJN.

Gokudera: Berry Trifle

So, this is a very overwhelming dessert with lots of layers. You take your first bite and you don't even get all the flavors. its all berry which is like this mixture of sour and tangy. Then you dig further in and you start to find that sweet cream inside of the dessert. If you're willing to try and dig that far in and see him for what it is, eventually, the cream and berries will mix together towards the bottom into a delightful cream, berry, and cake treat that will be a wonderful mixture of sweetness and tangy. It represents his character and the devotion in him that becomes sweeter the more work you're willing to put into him.

Yamamoto: Anmitsu

A Japanese confectionary that uses agar, the white jelly that you see, which is made from red algae. This fits very well in the fact his family owns a seafood restaurant. Red algae can be turned into something new, yet still traditional to its home country. I believe this represents our baseball player turned samurai for his family quite well. So, water is used to melt the agar, and the dish is lined with fresh fruits and topped with sweet black syrup for flavoring. Overall, this ends up creating a simple, sweet, and refreshing dish to consume. Yamamoto at his core represents tradition, innovation, and is a refreshing force within his family.

Ryohei: Maple Walnut Pound Cake

So, where I'm from, pound cake is a breakfast food. You don't have it very often, but it's a filling treat you would have with tea or coffee. There's the equivalent dessert referred to as bundt cake, but bundt cake tends to be lighter and more airy. Pound cake gets its name from having 1 pound of each ingredient, and can be in whatever shape it wants. Bundt cake tends to be made in the shape of the image you see above. A pound cake CAN be a bundt cake, but bundt cakes are not pound cakes is a good way to see it. Anyway back to Ryohei, pound cakes are the heavier version and fill you up quickly so therefore they're great for an energy boost in the morning. The flavor and nuts provide a sweet crunchy taste that I believe fits Ryohei well, as someone who trains and is a charged battery of energy. (Also healthy protein in the nuts, since he's an athlete LOL) He's a lot to consume, but he'll keep you going throughout the day.

Lambo: Taffy

Obviously Lambo has to be a candy. He HAS to be. Lollipops were too simple for him, and his grape candy that he eats in canon is just too vague to find an answer for. I stumbled upon taffy, which is sweet and hard that you have to suck on to enjoy and it takes awhile! I thought the toughness of the taffy represented his role as lightning guardian well, then you consider the long time it takes to eat representing how he’s going to grow into someone really strong. And finally, because he’s a little kid and taffy is a kid’s candy……also it comes in grape. (Also, Taffy tends to be either you love it or you hate it and that's pretty Lambo in canon haha.)

Chrome: Choux puff/cream puff

Choux are really light and airy. I don't know if you guys have ever had them but it feels like biting into a sweetened slightly crunchy air hksnj. Barely present. I think just how airy this dessert is fits her well. There’s a bit of a shyness to this dessert I can’t explain it. But I think whats extra special is that choux puffs can baked in masses and slowly put together into a croquembouche which is a giant tower of cream puffs. These are made specifically in celebrations, typically weddings or christmas.They're very expensive, very elegant, and huge symbols in France. I think it’s a great way to show Chrome’s growth into herself as she slowly grows from a single little pastry into a magnificent sight. Or maybe I'm being too poetic abt desserts that one small dessert can become something great with time, precision, and hard work put into her if someone is willing to try.

Mukuro: Baked Alaska Flambe

I mean look at it. LOL. It’s a huge meringue layering that gets burnt on the outside by the flames via blow torch, creating a smokey crunch on the outside. The meringue layer acts as an insulator for ice cream that sits on the inside so it doesn’t melt. In a way, I think this represents Mukuro well. A burnt outer layer that protects the sweeter interior. You can take the burnt out layer to be how he presents himself, but truly is kindhearted on the sweet inside interior or you can view the burning meringue layer as the side of him that allows himself to get burnt to protect the family he's managed to gather together.

Hibari: Rakugan

He was hard. He really truly was hard. Eventually, I stumbled upon the Rakugan. They’re a type of wagashi (thank you to my aforementioned friend for giving me the idea that he'd be a japanese confectionary... my ass was looking at chocolate cakes LOL), and more specifically a higashi. This refers to dry Japanese candy. Basically, they’re a candy that has all of the moisture sucked out of it (less than 10% of water remains!), but once you put it in your mouth it melts away quickly once water is mixed in. Much cloud behavior. Also they’re really cute and intricate with various different designs and he likes cute things (thanks unnamed friend lol). You eat them with green matcha tea, usually served formally at tea ceremonies or given at shrines and buddhist temples as religious offerings. Very traditional sweet made out of pure sugar. I think the fact you enjoy this sweet with the bitter matcha taste mixed with the traditionalism fits him very well. They're also deeply connected to the region of Kanazawa in Japan, just like Hibari with Namimori. I had a very funny interaction with my friends in regards to this dessert, because doesn't it kinda look like it would taste like soap??? LIKE THAT'S JUST SOAP. DRY. SOAP. I enjoy the idea that Hibari be this very gorgeous and history-filled dessert, and then taste like dry soap that you need to drink tea with to stomach. It just? IT FITS HIM.

Thank you for reading this far if you did <3 Which would you EAT!!! If I had to pick one, I would eat the HELL out of ryohei. i looove pound cake.
