Character Outline
Iemitsu Sawada as the Leader of CEDEF
Iemitsu Sawada (沢田 家光, Iemitsu Sawada) is the father of 10th Generation Vongola Boss, Tsunayoshi Sawada. He is also the leader of the CEDEF, Basil's master, and the External Advisor to the IX Generation's Vongola Boss, Timoteo.
Appearance
Iemitsu, unlike the rest of his family, possesses blond hair and a muscular build. When casual, he wears a white tank top and orange jeans. His orange jacket is tied around his waist. He has been seen to wear boxer shorts.
Personality
Iemitsu is a very happy-go-lucky person and loves to drink, sleep, and dream of his wife, Nana. When he left home, he wanted Nana to tell Tsuna that he'd gone away and "become a star," a euphemism for dying. His cover story was that he was working traffic at construction sites, but he was really away on Vongola business.
History
Seven years prior to the main storyline, Iemitsu and his team, CEDEF, were in charge to investigate an attack on allied bosses of Vongola. From the investigation, CEDEF discovered that one of the bullet holes was made by an old fine art dealer who was none other than Enma's father, Makoto Kozato. While they began investigating, an incident occured that resulted in twelve of Iemitsu's subordinates being barbarically murdered while crammed into a hotel elevator. This incident was known as the "Flood of Blood" incident. Makoto Kozato's bullets were found at the scene, and Iemitsu removed them immediately. That night, Kozato's house was attacked; Makoto, his wife, and his daughter, Mami were killed in their room just like the Flood of Blood incident. After the murders, Iemitsu denied any and all involvement to the Ninth and the incident went unsolved.
Plot Overview
Varia Arc
Iemitsu came back from his work trip to oversee the training that Tsuna's Guardians went through. In a flashback of the choosings of the Guardians, he offered Mukuro the opportunity to become Tsuna's Mist Guardian in exchange for Ken and Chikusa's safety.
Inheritance Ceremony Arc
He has been accused by Enma on ordering the CEDEF to kill his family. However, Daemon Spade revealed that he disguised himself as Iemitsu, caused the Flood of Blood incident and killed Enma's family.
The Curse of the Rainbow Arc
Iemitsu is first seen in the CEDEF headquarters agreeing to Colonello's request for the CEDEF to fight for him. Later, Iemitsu arrives in Japan as Colonello's representative and greets Tsuna and Nana, introducing his CEDEF workers as well, though he introduced them to Nana as his "fellow workers" to dig for oil. When Byakuran arrives, Iemitsu watches Tsuna with calculating eyes as Tsuna converses with Byakuran, albeit the former was nervously doing so. When the day of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow arrives, Tsuna rushes out of the house quickly, Nana commenting on how rude he was to his father; Iemitsu, however, states that it was his fault that he was away for too long. During the start of the first battle, a burst of Sky Flames destroy the walls next to Tsuna, barely missing him: as the dust cleares, Iemitsu stands there, stating to Tsuna that it was about time he treated him as an adult. Tsuna then goes into Hyper Dying Will Mode and attacks Iemitsu with a full-on attack, though he was hardly breaking through Iemitsu's defense, the said person countering by going into Hyper Dying Will Mode himself and unleashing a single powerful punch at Tsuna, which sends Tsuna flying out of the building, appearing to be incapacitated, and also leaving a portion of their fighting area's roof destroyed.
Weapons and Abilities
Weapons
- Pickaxe: Iemitsu's only seen weapon is a pickaxe. He is proficient in using, as he was shown to be able to dig large holes in extremely short amounts of time. He was also able to blow a hole through a wall of Namimori Middle School while armed with his pickaxe.
Abilities
- Hyper Dying Will Mode: This occurs when one has been hit with the Criticism Shot or has ingested two Dying Will Pills. Hyper Dying Will Mode removes internal limiters instead of the external ones, thus releasing one's hidden awareness.
Trivia
- Iemitsu joined the CEDEF, which is both part of, and yet separate from, the main family, and therefore makes him ineligible to be a candidate for the position of Boss of the Vongola.
- According to Timoteo, the Vongola Nono, Iemitsu was called the "Young Lion of the Vongola" in his prime.
