'''Box Weapons''' are small, hand-held cubes that hold tremendous power and weapons within them, which are released by the [[Dying Will Flame]] of the user. For the weapon to be released, the right type of ring, flame, and box must be matched up (i.e. Storm ring, storm flame, and storm box weapon) The higher the rank of the ring, and the more pure the flame, the more powerful the weapon will be. The original generation of box weapons consisted of 343 different animals, but a new wave of weapons were created afterward by three scientists: Verde of the Arcobaleno, Innocenti, and Arms-Dealer Koenig. Of the three, only Koenig remains alive, and continues to create newer box weapons. The affects of the weapon match the flame's characteristics, but may be utilized differently depending the weapon itself. A sky flame can open any box, but only the right flame can unleash its full potential. The original names of most of the weapons are in ''italian''.

}}A '''Box Weapon''' is a small cube containing various powerful weaponry. They are the primary equipment used in the world ten years into the future. Box Weapons can only be opened by their corresponding [[Dying Will Flames of the Sky]] through [[Ring]]s. Though they are called Box Weapons, they can serve different purposes other than equipment for battle.

[[File:Koenig Innocenti and Verde.png|thumb|[[Koenig]], [[Innocenti]], and [[Verde]].]]
'''Dark Scythe''' A long scythe covered in storm flames, which releases a curved storm blade when swung. Used by Nosaru and Tazaru of the Black Spell.
 
  +
The concept behind the Box Weapons was imagined more than four centuries before the series starts by a biologist named [[Geppetto Lorenzini]].<ref>{{refmanga|chap=115|notes="Four centuries ago [...]" -[[Bianchi]]}}</ref> Lorenzini had the idea of building weapons based on animals found in nature. He designed 343 different Animal-type Box Weapons. However, these designs were regarded as "over-technology" – inventions impossible to manufacture with the current scientific knowledge. His designs were deemed unattainable and were stored away by the secret society he belonged to.
   
  +
Centuries later, three scientists belonging to the same society as Lorenzini found his manuscripts and continued his research. [[Koenig]], [[Innocenti]], and [[Verde]] discovered that the rings passed down by the [[Mafia]] as heirlooms could serve as an optimal power source for the Box Weapons. With this breakthrough, they managed to solve the technical issues in Lorenzini's design and produced a [[Box Weapon Prototype|prototype]] after five years of research.
'''Dying Will Flame Boots''' Special shoes that allow the user to fly in the air by emitting their respective flames from the soles. Storm versions used by Tazaru and Nosaru of the Black Spell.
 
   
  +
After successfully perfecting and manufacturing Lorenzini's 343 designs, the three scientists also researched and developed new types of Box Weapons, such as storage Boxes containing support items and conventional weaponry. To fund their research, the scientists sold the Box Weapons to the Mafia in great quantities but at very low prices. Eventually, Koenig will remain as the last researcher as Innocenti perished for unknown reasons and Verde was deceased until his resurrection by [[Uni]]. Koenig, went into hiding and kept developing and trading Box Weapons as an underground arms-dealer.
'''Spikes''' Red spikes made of storm flames form on the users back and pierce whatever is behind them. Used by Tazaru of the Black Spell.
 
   
  +
While the origins of Box Weapons were somewhat well-known in the future, nobody was able to produce a clear answer as to how the Boxes managed to be perfected. Ten-years-later [[Kyoya Hibari]]'s investigation led him to conclude that the answer was simply coincidence, but he himself admitted that these coincidences happened in an unnatural fashion and that there were many inconsistencies left to be explained.
'''Dark Slicer''' Three spinning disks that follow their targets until they hit. Their speed increases by absorbing the enemy's flame until their speed is 1.5 times faster than the target. They are designed to never hit the user. Used by Tazaru of the Black Spell.
 
   
  +
Eventually, it was revealed that [[Byakuran]] secretly used [[Tri-ni-sette#The Mare Rings' Miracle|The Mare Rings' Miracle]] to help in the completion of the Box Weapon technology.
'''Flame Arrow''' A cannon strapped to the users left arm with a skull's face and a barrel aimed out of the skull's mouth. Another skull is on the rear end of the cannon, where ammo is inserted, which can be real bullets or even dynamite. The cannon's main attack is a burst of pure storm flames, but can also utilize special missiles when mixed with other types of flames. It's most powerful attack is ''Flame Thunder'', which is a mix of storm and lightning flames in a strong burst. The cannon can issue instruction in Italian by spelling words in dying will flames. If no bullets or ammo is loaded, the cannon releases a burst of air that extinguishes dying will flames. Used by Gokudera & is a part of the Sistema C.A.I.
 
   
  +
During [[The Curse of the Rainbow Arc]], Verde recreates the Box Weapons in the present, and the Varia also somehow obtained their future Box Weapons to use them in the [[Representative Battle of the Rainbow]].
'''Scorpione de Tempesta (''Storm Scorpions'')''' Several red scorpions that fire streams of storm flames from their tails. They can cling to walls and easily destroy walls. Used by Biancci.
 
   
  +
== Overview ==
'''Uri''' A leopard cub with very little physical power and often fails to listen to its owner. When treated with the Sun flames' activation properties, Uri grows into a gigantic leopard with flaming wheels on its shoulders. Its physical strength is dramatically increased, to the point that it can fight on par with Gamma's ''Nero Volpi''. Used by Gokudera, and a part of the Sistema C.A.I.
 
  +
[[File:Yamamoto Rain.PNG|thumb|200px|The three must all be of the same attribute.]]
  +
Just like [[Wave Energy]] and rings, the Box Weapons are also classified accordingly to the Seven Dying Will Flames of the Sky. In order to successfully open a Box and release the contents stored inside, the Wave Energy, the ring, and the Box Weapon must all be of the same attribute. It is also necessary to inject the Box with strong enough Flames.
   
  +
In the case of Animal-type Box Weapons, the higher the purity of the Flames injected, more of its latent abilities will be drawn out.
'''Flying Carpet''' A floating carpet that suspends the user in midair by generating storm flames. Used by Baishana.
 
   
  +
[[Sky Flame|Sky-attribute]] Flames are capable of opening any Box but are incapable of fully drawing out the abilities of Boxes of other Attributes.
'''Serpente Tempesta (''Storm Serpent'')''' A giant snake, identified as a ''Tsuchinoko'' by Gokudera, that grows by feeding on the box weapons of others. As its size increases, so does its power accordingly. Its scales are covered in storm flames, and damage anything that touches them. It has been stated that it is a relatively new box weapon created by Box-Maker Koenig. Used by Baishana of the White Spell.
 
   
 
== List of Box Weapons ==
'''Cervo Volante Tempesta bel Otto (''Eight Storm Stag Beetles'')''' Stag beetles with storm flames covering their mandibles. They move in random patterns at high speeds, making it difficult to hit or avoid them. Used by Baishana.
 
  +
As they were made by Italian designers, the names of most of the Box Weapons are also in Italian.
   
  +
=== By attribute ===
'''Sistema C.A.I or Cambio Arma Intantaneo (''Instantaneous Armament Change System'')''' A complex puzzle of four storm boxes, four rain boxes, two lightning boxes, two sun boxes, and four cloud boxes. Only one who can utilize all five of these types of dying will flames can use this weapon, the only one being Gokudera. The main structure is a set of four bone rings that can shield the user from attacks or capture enemy box weapons. The storm flames of the bone rings are lightly covered in rain flames, which neutralize the initial part of the attack. Of the sixteen boxes, there are four skull rings for each of the other dying will flames, Uri, and Flame Arrow. The main method of attack of burst of dying will flame or missile projectiles that have two kinds of flames. The strength of these combination is the instantaneous change from one weapon to another. The most powerful attack is the combination of Storm and Lightning flames into a concentrated burst called ''Flame Thunder''. Gamma believes this to be an invention of Innocenti, because of its flashiness.

  +
Uniquely, Sky-attribute Animal-type Box Weapons are influenced by the user's mood before and after opening. When [[Tsunayoshi Sawada]] attempted to open his [[Leone di Cieli ver.

'''Cloud Hedgehog''' A small hedgehog that immediately spins in a straight line upon release. By absorbing other dying will flames, the spikes on its back grow to create a ''Globe of Needles''. Enemies can be trapped inside the globe, which quickly burns whatever oxygen is necessary to breathe. It can only be broken from the inside by applying a flame of a higher purity. There are multiple boxes of this animal; a maximum of three. The hedgehog can also create small portions of the globe as foot steps for ascending or shields against enemy attacks. A new form, called ''Globe of Needles: Reversed'', requires using three rings at once on one box. Its difficult to pull it off without breaking the box. But if successful, the hedgehog grows, pushing all other box weapons outside, and leaving any living organisms inside. The walls of the Globe are covered in spikes, and the flames quickly burn any remaining oxygen. This method of fighting is meant to make up for Hibari's lack of rings that can withstand his enormous flame.
 
 
'''Tonfas''' Hibari in the future keeps his tonfas in a box weapon. They are now covered in cloud flames and still hold all of their predecessor's hidden weapons, as well as some new ones.
 
 
'''Bear''' A bear box weapon that is speculated to be of the cloud-type. It was eaten by the ''Serpente Tempesta'' before its abilities were revealed. Used by Nigella of the Black Spell.
 
 
'''Whip''' Iris uses a cloud-type whip on her Death Stalk Squad, causing their muscles and ligaments to grow. This greatly increases their muscle mass, physical strength, and can stretch their limbs to inhuman lengths.
 

Revision as of 08:27, 2 June 2019

A Box Weapon is a small cube containing various powerful weaponry. They are the primary equipment used in the world ten years into the future. Box Weapons can only be opened by their corresponding Dying Will Flames of the Sky through Rings. Though they are called Box Weapons, they can serve different purposes other than equipment for battle.

History

Koenig Innocenti and Verde

Koenig, Innocenti, and Verde.

The concept behind the Box Weapons was imagined more than four centuries before the series starts by a biologist named Geppetto Lorenzini.[1] Lorenzini had the idea of building weapons based on animals found in nature. He designed 343 different Animal-type Box Weapons. However, these designs were regarded as "over-technology" – inventions impossible to manufacture with the current scientific knowledge. His designs were deemed unattainable and were stored away by the secret society he belonged to.

Centuries later, three scientists belonging to the same society as Lorenzini found his manuscripts and continued his research. Koenig, Innocenti, and Verde discovered that the rings passed down by the Mafia as heirlooms could serve as an optimal power source for the Box Weapons. With this breakthrough, they managed to solve the technical issues in Lorenzini's design and produced a prototype after five years of research.

After successfully perfecting and manufacturing Lorenzini's 343 designs, the three scientists also researched and developed new types of Box Weapons, such as storage Boxes containing support items and conventional weaponry. To fund their research, the scientists sold the Box Weapons to the Mafia in great quantities but at very low prices. Eventually, Koenig will remain as the last researcher as Innocenti perished for unknown reasons and Verde was deceased until his resurrection by Uni. Koenig, went into hiding and kept developing and trading Box Weapons as an underground arms-dealer.

While the origins of Box Weapons were somewhat well-known in the future, nobody was able to produce a clear answer as to how the Boxes managed to be perfected. Ten-years-later Kyoya Hibari's investigation led him to conclude that the answer was simply coincidence, but he himself admitted that these coincidences happened in an unnatural fashion and that there were many inconsistencies left to be explained.

Eventually, it was revealed that Byakuran secretly used The Mare Rings' Miracle to help in the completion of the Box Weapon technology.

During The Curse of the Rainbow Arc, Verde recreates the Box Weapons in the present, and the Varia also somehow obtained their future Box Weapons to use them in the Representative Battle of the Rainbow.

Overview

Yamamoto Rain

The three must all be of the same attribute.

Just like Wave Energy and rings, the Box Weapons are also classified accordingly to the Seven Dying Will Flames of the Sky. In order to successfully open a Box and release the contents stored inside, the Wave Energy, the ring, and the Box Weapon must all be of the same attribute. It is also necessary to inject the Box with strong enough Flames.

In the case of Animal-type Box Weapons, the higher the purity of the Flames injected, more of its latent abilities will be drawn out.

Sky-attribute Flames are capable of opening any Box but are incapable of fully drawing out the abilities of Boxes of other Attributes.

List of Box Weapons

As they were made by Italian designers, the names of most of the Box Weapons are also in Italian.

By attribute

Sky-attribute

Uniquely, Sky-attribute Animal-type Box Weapons are influenced by the user's mood before and after opening. When Tsunayoshi Sawada attempted to open his Leone di Cieli ver. Vongola for the first time, he was anxious about its contents and unconsciously rejected it inside his heart. As a consequence, it was opened incorrectly and revealed itself aggressive towards its own master. Ligre Tempesta di Cieli's "Rage Mode" can be activated in response to Xanxus' own anger.

Storm-attribute

Storm-attribute Box Weapons are usually oriented towards offensive abilities that take advantage of the Storm Flame's Disintegration characteristic, but support-type Boxes are also not uncommon.

Rain-attribute

Sun-attribute

Because it is difficult to employ the Activation characteristic for direct combat, Sun-attribute Box Weapons are usually used for support.

Lightning-attribute

Lightning-attribute Box Weapons use the Hardening characteristuc for pure penetration power and/or tough defenses.

Mist-attribute

Due to its Construction characteristic, many Mist-attribute Box Weapons revolve around creating illusions.

General Box Weapons

These are Box Weapons are not specific to a particular Flame.

Trivia

  • Animal-type Box Weapons can become "drunk" if they are injected a large quantity of Dying Will Flames.
  • The Tri-ni-sette is represented by the number 73, which mathematically equals 343, the exact number of blueprints left by Geppetto Lorenzini.
