The Vongola family is built around a single boss who has six close advisors known as "guardians". Each guardian represents a different "attribute" of the sky and wield flames of the same color as the attribute they represent. The six attributes of the Vongola guardians are: storm, rain, sun, cloud, thunder, and mist and they are joined by the Vongola boss who represents the sky. As a candidate for being the 10th boss, Tsuna is required to have six guardians for when he becomes the leader of the family. Tsuna's guardians are made up of the young mafioso under his care, Lambo; Tsuna's classmate and the head of the disciplinary committee, Hibari Kyouya; his crush's older brother, Sasagawa Ryohei; his former enemy, Rokudo Mukuro; and his two best friends, Gokudera Hayato and of course, Yamamoto Takeshi.
The ring of rain... the shower that washes away everything." Ch.86, Pg. 03. "
Yamamoto is chosen as Tsuna's rain guardian and because he is the "type of guy who can't just be left doing nothing." Yamamoto accepts the proposal even though it will take away from him playing baseball. When he becomes the rain guardian he officially takes up "the path of the sword" and begins using a real sword as opposed to a transforming baseball bat.
Yamamoto's decision to become such an integral part of Tsuna's family changes him. After this arc Yamamoto begins to take things more seriously and consider the "mafia game" that Tsuna and the others play to be just as important as his beloved sport and he tries to dedicate an equal amount of time to both baseball and swordsmanship. |
