The Asura Boxes are the special Box Weapons of the Six Funeral Wreaths given by Byakuran, and could be considered the Millefiore's equivalent to the Vongola Box Weapons.
Description[]
Unlike normal Box Weapons, these are implanted into the chest of each Wreath on the left pectoral muscle and when opened will transform the user into a weapon/human hybrid with all the abilities of the Box Weapon at their disposal. It has been revealed that when these Box Weapons are activated, all wounds gained before transforming are completely healed.
In the present the Asura Boxes were upgraded so that instead of being implanted in their chests they are activated externally in the same method as any other Box Weapon.[1] They are known as External Asura Boxes (外付け修羅開匣, Sototsuke Shura Kaikō?).
List of the Asura Boxes[]
Sun-attribute Asura Box[]
Deisy's Box Weapon was first shown during his fight against Dino and Kyoya Hibari. When activated, Deisy transforms Deisy into a hybrid of a human being and a lizard, with Sun Flames emitting from his shoulders. Aside from boosting his physical strength and speed, Deisy gains the ability to heal any wound inflicted upon him; even being able to regenerate whole limbs and can potentially even form entirely new bodies.
Mist-attribute Asura Box[]
Torikabuto's Box Weapon was first shown during his fight against Tsunayoshi Sawada and Chrome Dokuro. When activated, Torikabuto transforms into a hybrid of human being and a moth, with monochrome wings with eye-like markings on them. When someone looks into these eyes, Torikabuto can use his enhanced Mist Flames to make a target lose their grip of reality by taking control of all five of their senses. However, Chrome was able to overcome this ability using her Vongola Box Weapon's ability to see through illusions.
Tirannosauro Tempesta[]
Zakuro's Box Weapon was first shown during his fight against Lal Mirch, Gamma, and Hayato Gokudera. When activated, Zakuro transforms into a hybrid of a human being and a Tyrannosaurus Rex, with dark red skin and Storm Flames that flow out of his shoulders like a pair of wings. Not only does the Box Weapon grant Zakuro greatly enhanced strength and speed, but it also increases his physical size and durability as well, making his skin almost impenetrable to attack; alongside his bolstered resiliency, Zakuro is capable of self-healing and can even regrow severed limbs, though not as fast as Deisy can.
Shonisauro Pioggia[]
Bluebell's Box Weapon was first shown during her fight against the Varia. When activated, Bluebell transforms into a hybrid of a human being and a Shonisaurus, with a form reminiscent of a mermaid. Whilst in this form, Bluebell can generate a powerful barrier as well as pools of 100% pure Rain Flames, which are capable of killing just about anyone caught within them by causing paralysis on a cellular level.
Spinosauro Nuvola[]
Kikyo's Box Weapon was first shown during his fight against Ryohei Sasagawa. When activated, Kikyo transforms into a hybrid of a human being and a Spinosaurus, with his hair transforming into five waves of Cloud Flames. Unlike the other Wraiths, Kikyo doesn't gain as many feral characteristics, but his power is one of the most dangerous as he can use his Cloud Flame hair to create numerous Spinosaurus heads to attack his opponents. In turn, even these Spinosaurus can propagate rapidly, creating a never-ending army to overwhelm his enemies. According to Kikyo, he has the strongest Asura Box of all the Funeral Wraiths.
Trivia[]
- The original Japanese name of the Asura Boxes (修羅開匣, Shura Kaikō?, lit. opening scene of carnage) are named after Shura or Ashura, a demigod or titan in Japanese Buddhism. They are especially addicted to the passions of wrath, pride, envy, insincerity, falseness, boasting, and bellicosity.
- Due to the literal meaning of their Japanese name, the Asura Boxes are also referred to as the "Carnage Boxes" by the English fandom.
- The Sun and Mist Asura Boxes are the only ones revealed that unleash non-prehistoric hybrids.
- The Asura Boxes are also referred to as "Hell Holes" by the Six Funeral Wreaths.[citation needed]
- The Lightning and Sky Asura Boxes are the only ones to not be shown; however, the Lightning Funeral Wreath, Ghost, was an intangible being; thus, he may have not been able to implant an Asura Box within himself. The leader of the Six Funeral Wreaths and the holder of the Sky Mare Ring, Byakuran, however, has other Box Weapons: his White and Black Dragons.
