Character Outline
Edit
Giotto is the founder of the Vongola Famiglia, and thus, its First Boss. He is also the creator of the Zero Point Breakthrough. After his retirement, he moved to Japan and started a family, making Tsuna his descendant. He is the great-great-great grandfather of Tsuna. Tsuna has repeatedly been shown to be similar to him, as they have the same weapon and techniques (including the Zero Point Breakthrough), similar appearances, and equally unorthodox Famiglias (the First Famiglia included kings, military men, rival mafiosos, and religious people). Their Guardians are quite similar as well: Yamamoto, Hibari,Mukuro, Lambo, Gokudera, and Ryohei have already been shown to be very much like their predecessors in appearance, weapon of choice, and personality.
PersonalityEdit
He is shown to be a calm and collected leader that cares for his friends and Famiglia and is willing to protect them from harm. He also has a strong sense of justice and actively pursuing of what he believes is right for the people, which is why he formed the Vongola Famiglia. He is similar to Tsuna in many aspects, especially their soft nature that Daemon Spade once had commented on. Likewise, Reborn has once stated that Vongola Primo was the kind of person who accepted anyone into the Famiglia, regardless of background. He is also shown to highly value friendship and other bonds that he has with people he knows and is a forgiving person that never hold any grudges against people; when Daemon betrayed him, Giotto still considered him as one of his Guardians.
AppearanceEdit
Giotto has golden blonde hair and his eyes are a sharp orange tone, the same as Tsuna's when he is in Hyper Dying Will Mode. When not in Hyper Dying Will Mode, his irises are a lighter shade of orange. He wears a black suit with white pinstripes and a white undershirt with a black tie. He also wears a long cape with a golden, decorated attatchment, which later becomes Natsu's Cambio Forma. Throughout his appearances in the anime, he has always been shown in Hyper Dying Will Mode.
HistoryEdit
Giotto was the founder of the Vongola and said to be the most powerful Sky Boss. Giotto and his Guardians founded the Vongola, not to be the mafia that they are now, but to be a vigilante group to help the people. At some point during his reign as the First Vongola Boss, he feared that Vongola would start to fight for self-interest and decided to disband his military forces, which caused Vongola territory to be open to attack, and, as a result, killed a duke's daughter and one of their members, Elena. This event led Giotto to be betrayed by his own Guardian,Daemon Spade, who wanted the Vongola to be more than they were at that point in order to fulfill his promise to Elena, his lover at the time.
After the betrayal, Giotto sealed the true power of the Vongola Rings, as he didn't trust what the Vongola would become and retired to Japan.
Giotto had a very close relationship with the first Simon Famiglia boss, Cozarto Simon. They were said to be so close that they would never cross swords with each other. The two first met when both of them had similar intentions of helping out one of their neighbors.

Plot OverviewEdit
Future ArcEdit
During Tsuna's training with Hibari, he was trapped, enclosed by Hibari's Cloud Hedgehog, and forced Tsuna to undergo the Vongola Trial of Succession. While Tsuna was trapped in the hedgehog, his Vongola Ring emitted images to his head. The previous Vongola Bosses stated that they were the past sins and crimes of the Vongola. The bosses demanded Tsuna to accept the bloody history of the Vongola if he wanted to be strong, but Tsuna refused to do so and stated that he would rather destroy the Vongola than accept their sins. Vongola Primo then accepts Tsuna as the successor to the Vongola and grants him the proof of the Vongola.
Inheritance Succession ArcEdit
He appeared through Tsuna's Vongola Ring and Arcobaleno Pacifier, answering Yuni's will. He stated that he never answered to the Arcobaleno's power and never will again, but he said this was single exception due to Yuni's condition which is still unknown as to what she promised to him. He told Tsuna and the others they have yet to inherit the Vongola's true power and that the First Vongola Guardians will observe them to see if they are worthy to inherit Vongola's true power or not. Before he disappeared, he asked if they were they able to embody the duty of a Guardian and if they had that resolve because everything rested on that.
Later, he appeared at a castle inside an amusement park where Lampo decides that he will stay until his Succesion Trial finishes. Giotto said that it was his turn now. At first, Lampo was against doing this, but Giotto was able to convince him as Lampo also commented that he "can't say no to him."
During Gokudera's Succesion Trial, he sealed Tsuna's Hyper Intuition to prevent him from interfering in the Succession Trial. After G.'s trial, he said that Tsuna realized that G. (when disguised as Gokudera) wasn't his real Storm Guardian even though he already sealed his Hyper Intuition. He also thanks G. for his help when he remembered the times when he and his Guardians built the Vongola.
He appears again at the Namimori Shrine along with his Guardians looking a bit worried as the next trial would beDaemon Spade's one. He checked his pocket watch before standing up. He again along with the other Guardians watch the trial from afar. The other guardians wanted to intervene, but Giotto just told them to wait and watch.During Gokudera's Succesion Trial, he sealed Tsuna's Hyper Intuition to prevent him from interfering in the Succession Trial.

He also thanks G. for his help when he remembered the times when he and his Guardians built the Vongola.
He appears again in front of Daemon and thanks him for fulfilling his duty as a Guardian to which Daemon commented that he hasn't changed. After Daemon gave Chrome his inheritance, Giotto also gave Tsuna his inheritance as he had watched Tsuna and his Guardians throughout the Inheritance.
Later, he appears alongside Daemon and comments that Daemon still keeps the pocket watch that symbolizes their friendship and said that he hasn't changed his mind, to which Daemon replied that he was forever a fool and that's why Giotto disappointed him in the end. After this, he and the other Guardians went back to the Vongola Rings.

Future Final Battle ArcEdit
When Tsuna had his back to the wall in his battle with Byakuran, Tsuna explained his motives for fighting and prepared to battle Byakuran again, although he was heavily out classed by Byakuran, something Byakuran was quick to point out. At this moment Giotto speaks, but doesn't show himself, through the Vongola Rings.
Giotto speaks to his Guardians, asking them if they approved of what he was about to do. Each of his guardians approved, with G.telling him to do what he wants, like he always does. Giotto agrees with G., and then appears in front of Tsuna through hisgloves.
Giotto explains to Tsuna about the history of the Vongola Rings, and how they were sealed to ensure a strict succession. He looks at Tsuna, and tells him, that this was no longer necessary, as he believed that Tsuna would understand the true meaning of both the Vongola Rings and his will.
Upon saying this, Giotto releases the Vongola Rings to reveal its true form. After doing this he encourages Tsuna to beat Byakuran by telling him to give the "Mare Boy" a scare before disappearing.

Inheritance Ceremony ArcEdit
When Talbot, the oldest metal craftsman who worked for Vongola, arrived, after the Vongola Rings had been heavily damaged due to the Simon's attack, he revealed that he could repair and upgrade the Vongola Rings with a bottle called Penalty which contained Primo's blood.
During the battle between the Simon and the Vongola, the Vindice appeared before the 10th Generation Guardians, and informed them that after every battle, they would present the Guardians with Keys.
These Keys were objects that were used by Cozarto and Giotto, and given to the Vendice when by the two bosses to be presented to their descendants when the inevitable battle between them commenced. These keys held the memories of the two bosses, and would reveal the true history behind the two Famiglias.

After the keys were collected and the memories revealed, it was apparent that Giotto had not betrayed Cozarto, and that Daemon Spade was behind everything. Giotto's guardians saved Cozarto from impending doom and it was Cozarto himself who suggested that he remain dead to the rest of the world and would support Giotto from the shadows, the Vongola silently helping them as well.
RelationshipsEdit
GuardiansEdit
AlaudeEdit
Giotto's Cloud Guardian. Being the Cloud Guardian, Alaude was aloof and separated himself from the other Guardians. However, it was stated that when he and Giotto shared the same goal, he would work flawlessly together with him to achieve the goal, showing more consideration for his comrades on the path to achieving the goal than during his usual meetings with them. From what this situation shows, Giotto and Alaude's normal relationship is distant at best, due to Alaude's aloof nature, but when able to agree on something, Alaude would become fiercely loyal to Giotto and devoted, showing that despite normally being isolated, Alaude and Giotto have a good relationship during certain times.
Daemon SpadeEdit
Giotto's Mist Guardian. Both used to be close friends and Daemon respected him just as much like the other Guardians. Unfortunately, after Elena's death, Daemon misinterpreted Elena's dying wish for him to make the Vongola strong, prompting to him to have an addiction to ensuring that the Vongola remained strong through cruelty, rather than kindness, as Elena wanted. Because of this, he thought that Giotto was unworthy of making the Vongola feared and powerful, forcing him to step down through a betrayal and putting Ricardo, the man that would become Vongola Secondo, onto the position of Vongola boss, and becoming his Mist Guardian. However, after all that time, Daemon still kept his golden pocket watch of friendship given to him by Giotto before Elena's death, showing that he secretly still treasured his close friendship with Giotto. Giotto is also shown to be forgiving of Daemon, still regarding him as his Famiglia member, as well as a close friend, as he still acknowledged Daemon as his Guardian despite his betrayal.
G.Edit
He is Giotto's Storm Guardian and childhood friend and trusted right-handman. Together, both of them created vigilante group that would become the Vongola. Through Giotto's trust in him and G.'s devotion to Giotto, their friendship had been shown to be very close, further evidenced by the fact that they were close friends since childhood. G. is fiercely loyal to Giotto and never once questioned his seemingly unreasonable actions, nor ever once regretted following him, always siding with Giotto's justice.
KnuckleEdit
Giotto's Sun Guardian. He was an undefeated boxing champion. However, due to his strength, he accidentally killed an opponent during a match, which made him resign from boxing and take a religion to atone for his sin. At his Famiglia's moment of crisis, he gave himself 3 minutes and managed to save them, showing that he has a loyalty to both his Famiglia and Giotto, making them possibly not close friends, but good friends and him a loyal subordinate, nonetheless.
LampoEdit
Giotto's Lightning Guardian. Lampo was the son of the Lord of the Land. He was extremely cowardly and spoiled, his cowardly and spoiled character to the point where he wouldn't enter an important battle just because he didn't want to. However, whenever Giotto requests him to do something, he stated that he couldn't refuse him, showing a good relationship between them and Lampo's devoted loyalty to Giotto.
Ugetsu AsariEdit
Giotto's Rain Guardian. Ugetsu was a swordsman who was renowned for his talent; however, rather than devoting himself to the sword, he opted to become a musician instead. However, when he was informed that Giotto was in danger, he, without hesitation, sold all of his instruments and bought his swords and travel fee to go to help Giotto, showing that Asari is considerate towards Giotto, and that they were close friends, as Ugetsu's devotion allowed him to give up his music career to simply help out a friend.
Famiglia & AlliesEdit
Tsunayoshi SawadaEdit
Tsuna is one of Giotto's descendants. Giotto seems to hold Tsuna in high regard and has helped Tsuna out in multiple ways, including bestowing his inheritance upon him and unleashing the true form of the Vongola Rings to help him defeat Byakuran. He also refers to Tsuna as his "true successor."
Although Reborn mentioned that Tsuna's style of fighting, weapon of choice, and motives for fighting are all similar to Giotto, the first time that Tsuna came face to face with Giotto was during the Vongola Trial in which Giotto approved Tsuna as the next Vongola Boss and told Tsuna that the Vongola was his to either make prosper or destroy.
In turn, Tsuna trusts Giotto completely and has been shown standing up for him when other characters accuse Giotto of questionable actions. Tsuna has quite confidently stated that Giotto is not the kind of man that would betray his friends when Enma told Tsuna about Giotto's betrayal of the first Simon boss, Cozarto.

Cozarto SimonEdit
Giotto and Cozarto shared a close relationship, like brothers. Due to their strong bond, the Vongola and Simon should never cross swords with each other, in fact it was Cozarto that first suggested that a vigilante group be formed, and that Giotto should lead it. This idea was the start of the Vongola Famiglia. Their friendship continued to the point where Cozarto decided to help his best friend in the massive mafia war between Vongola and the rival Famiglias once he received a letter that told him to assist the Vongola. Cozarto, knowing it was a fake, and guessing that there was a traitor within Giotto's subordinates, went to help.
When Giotto knew that Cozarto and his Famiglia was surrounded by the enemies and Daemon's plan to assasinate Cozarto, he replaced Daemon's subordinates with G. and the rest of his Guardians to secretly save Cozarto and his Famiglia. Giotto also concern and reluctant when Cozarto suggested to hide the truth about his Famiglia's survival, which means that the Simon has to be living in the shadow and in return, he swore that the Vongola would support Simon. Cozarto agreed and he swore that the Simon would harbor no grudge against them, and their Famiglias would always be close for as long as they exist.
