Box Weapon

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 idea for box weapons was based on the work of a biologist from the 4th Century, Geppetto Lorenzini. He designed 343 different animal based weapons but lacked the technology to create them. Centuries later, three scientists: Verde of the Arcobaleno, Innocenti, and Arms-Dealer Koenig found Lorenzini's designs are created the box weapons by using the power of the mafia rings as a power source, which solved many of the problems. After they created all of Lorenzini's designs, they continued to invent new types of boxes and weapons, for example storage boxes. Thinking of nothing but funding their research, they sold the box weapons to the mafia for very low prices. Now, of the three scientists, only Koenig remains alive and continues to create newer box weapons. The effects of the weapon match the flame's characteristics, but may be utilized differently depending the weapon itself.

Sky Box Weapons

Sky box weapons are unique in that they are very delicate and must be opened and commanded in a very specific way which has yet to be explained. Dino states that sky box weapons are especially delicate, and can't be opened without being careful.

Leone di Cielo (Sky Lion): Originally a Lion, when Xanxus is angered and displays his battle wounds from the 9th Vongola Boss, it obtains stripes, turning it into the Ligre Tempesta Di Cielo (Sky Storm Liger), and also exhibits traits of the Tigre Tempesta. Its main means of defense appears to be petrifying other box weapons by roaring with the sky's Harmony characteristic. Olgert has stated that a harmony attack of this type is exceedingly rare. It also attacks enemies through its roars, which destroys them with Degeneration. The combination of two atributes is possible by combining two kinds of sky flames together. The sky flames released from the ring carry the property of Harmony, but Xanxus's own Flame of Wrath hold characteristics of Degeneration, creating a box weapon with two flame properties. Used by Xanxus of the Varia, who named his weapon Bester.

Sky Vongola Box (a.k.a. Leone di Cieli [Sky Lion]: Version Vongola): An orange specialized box weapon given to Tsuna by his future self to combat the Millefiore. He was unable to control the box when he released it and it attacked him. The form it took when it was released was not its true form, as Tsuna improperly released it. The creature contained within the Vongola Sky Box, when released properly, is the Leone di Cieli (Sky Lion): Version Vongola, whose mane is made of the orange sky flames and is wearing either a helmet or a visor. It's name appears to be Nuts. Nuts can petrify and break through other box weapons by harmonizing with them via roaring, similar to Xanxus's lion. All the Vongola boxes were remodeled in the past, allowing the animals to transform into weapons.

Cambio Forma

• Modo Difesa (Defense Mode):Mantello Di Vongola Primo (Vongola First's Cloak): Nuts changes into long, black cloak that releases orange flames. The cloak is worn by Tsuna, and is attached to a metal plate on his X-Gloves and bears the roman numeral I. Reborn calls the cloak "a vast sky enveloping and engulfing everything".

Cavallo di Cielo (Sky Horse): A large, domesticated horse covered in orange flames. Its true abilities remain unknown. Used by Dino 10 years in the future.

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.

• 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. Its true name could be Leopardo Tempesta (Storm Leopard). Used by Gokudera, and a part of the Sistema C.A.I.
• 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.

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.

Tigre Tempesta (Storm Tiger) A box weapon mentioned by Olgert, it is supposedly a tiger box weapon with degeneration characteristics. Xanxus's Liger Tempesta Di Cielo carries the same stripes and storm characteristics as this box weapon.

Talpa Tempesta (Storm Mole): A box weapon mentioned by Spanner, which can apparently burrow through the ground for excavation purposes and carries degeneration properties. This may also imply that Spanner has a Storm atribute flame.

Cloud Hedgehog (Porcospino Nuvola) 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.
