for each of tsuna and his guardians, what do you think is a key trait that gets either a) overlooked or b) misinterpreted most frequently?

micronecro:

Tsuna: tendency to de-escalate as much as possible, to the point he joins in on his own bullying, easily drawn in by people doing their best (because he thinks he can’t do something like that, and he respects them for it)

Yamamoto: his exceptional observational skills, passive-aggressiveness

Gokudera: business-like attitude IRT the mafia – he often gets in fights with people who don’t follow the social code he’s used to, especially Yamamoto and Ryouhei

Ryouhei: compulsive need to care for others, gets pissed off really easily (remember the sports festival……)

Lambo (10YL): he is easily the most hedonistic character in the entire series. his fight with rauji boiled down to “uhhhhh i just wanna have a good time”. he outranks reborn in Treating Himself

Hibari: Talks a lot. The more comfortable he is in a situation the more he talks. Hates cowardice (codeword herbivores), not…whatever the hell people think gets him mad? It’s unclear? Doesn’t really seem capable of thinking around a problem, every obstacle he’s ever been given was answered with “hit it until it stops bothering me”

Chrome: chrome

bonus round – 

Mukuro: Not like…a tease, or a sadistic character? I don’t know where this came from? If he’s interested in someone he insults them and runs away. Mukuro is terrified of emotional investment. Chrome saying that Mukuro loves Tsuna is just as funny as Hibari saying it’s disrespectful to think that Yamamoto can’t perform, for the exact same reasons. Mukuro kicked Chrome out because she couldn’t join the “staying in a decaying amusement park instead of trying to talk to the people you’re fond of like a normal fucking person” club. If Mukuro was forced to be in the same room with Tsuna he’d make Tsuna hate him with all of his effort and then spend 4 days holed up in his room eating cheese puffs and hating himself. I don’t know where “seductive power play” mukuro came from but its wrong. Rokudou Mukuro responded to finding a person he can trust by killing his entire family and enslaving him. Please

Dino: Bigtime sympathy, tends to be a bit of a force of nature when it comes to making connections with people, and is skilled at getting people on his side – his role as a teacher in the final arc was apt. Also, Dino is basically the person Tsuna doesn’t want to be as the 10th? Dino is a good person and friendly but he’s clearly already bought into the mafia and its decisions. He’s worked to make a better life for his own but that doesn’t change how comfortable he is with the mafia’s problems.

Reborn: Suicidal depression, unparalleled skill at hiding it. Is an old man.
