'''Kyoya Hibari''', commonly referred to as '''Hibari''', is the leader of the [[Namimori Middle Disciplinary Committee]], a group of delinquents who are all loyal to him. He was nominated and accepted as the [[Vongola Decimo & Guardians|tenth generation Cloud Guardian]] of the [[Vongola Famiglia]]. He is often seen napping on the rooftop of [[Namimori Middle School]], alongside [[Hibird]].
   
  +
== Appearance ==
==Character Outline==
 
  +
Hibari is a young man with an average height and short black hair with a fringe that joins at the center of his face. He has narrow gray eyes, often intimidating those who see them. He bears a striking resemblance to the first generation Cloud Guardian, [[Alaudi]], as well as the [[Arcobaleno]], [[Fon]].
   
  +
Hibari's most common outfit is his Disciplinary Committee uniform. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt, black pants, black shoes, and a black ''gakuran'' top worn on his shoulders, with the committee's armband pinned on the top's left sleeve. He also wears the standard Namimori Middle School summer uniform, along with the armband. During the [[Varia Arc]], Hibari wears the winter uniform, also with the armband.
'''Kyoya Hibari''' (雲雀 恭弥, Hibari Kyōya) is the leader of the [[Namimori Middle Discipline Committee]], a group of delinquents who are all loyal to Hibari. He is a violent delinquent who uses his status to harass other students. As shown several times in the series, he prefers to be alone and cares little for his subordinates. He loves Namimori more than anything and will often say "I'll bite you to death," or "''kamikorosu,''" to those that disturb Namimori Middle School. Hibari is very proud of his school and is apparently the only person who likes their [[Namimori Middle School Anthem|school's anthem]], even using it as his ringtone. In the [[Kokuyo Arc]], he adopted Kokuyo Assassin [[Birds]]' bird. The bird (subsequently nicknamed "Hibird" due to its connection to Hibari) becomes attached to Hibari. Hibird can also sing the school's anthem as Hibari loves it. Reborn piqued Hibari's curiosity early on in the series, and Hibari considers him a worthy opponent, having a strong urge to fight him. He has a soft spot for small animals, and hates to be indebted to anyone and therefore strives to pay them back as soon as possible.
 
   
  +
After gaining the [[Vongola Ring|Cloud Vongola Ring]], Hibari wears it on his right middle finger. He wears the [[Bracelet of the Cloud Version X]] on his left wrist.
==Plot Overview==
 
===[[Daily Life Arc]]===
 
   
  +
Ten-years-later Hibari has changed to wearing a simple black suit, with a purple shirt and black necktie. His hair is also shorter, having been cut to appear messier, and with hardly any fringe. When not training or fighting, he would wear a black ''kinagashi''.
Hibari beat [[Tsuna]], [[Gokudera]], and [[Yamamoto]] up for using his office as their new base. [[Reborn (character)|Reborn]] saved them from him and as such Hibari gained interest in fighting him. Later, [[Shamal|Dr. Shamal]] gave Hibari the sakura-kura virus so that Tsuna's Family could view the sakura in peace.

Anime character sheet hibari.jpg|Hibari's character design.
[[File:Mukuro_beats_Hibari.png|thumb|left|250px|Mukuro uses Hibari's Sakura weakness against him]]Due to the attacks on students of [[Namimori]] Junior High, Hibari went to [[Kokuyo Land]] to fight the gang's leader. He was later defeated by [[Mukuro]], who took advantage of his Sakura-kura disease. He was imprisoned but later freed by Gokudera. Hibari then defeated both [[Ken]] and [[Chikusa]] and was given the cure to his illness. He then fought Mukuro again, but fell unconscious due to his previous injuries. Mukuro later tried to possess Hibari's body, but stopped due to the severity of the wounds.

== Personality ==
===[[Varia Arc]]===
 
  +
[[File:Dying-Will-Return.png|thumb|left|Hibari's eagerness to fight.]]
  +
As stated by others, Hibari is a scary character with little to no care for the well-being of others, preferring to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He has full confidence in his own strength and power. This often leads to his opponents surprising him, as he doesn't think before attacking. As the head of Namimori Middle's Disciplinary Committee, Hibari uses authority to assault those that get on his nerves, including his own subordinates. Hibari is fiercely loyal to his school and its rules, going so far as to punish others for breaking them even if they aren't students or at the school, such as [[Genkishi]].
   
  +
A lone wolf by nature, Hibari prefers to be alone and hates crowding. This leads him to beat anyone who he thinks is crowding around him too much.
[[File:Hibari_Beats_the_Mosca.PNG|thumb|250px|Hibari beats the Gola Mosca]]Hibari was made the Vongola Cloud Guardian after, but refused to be taught by [[Dino]] unless he could defeat him in battle. They fought in multiple environments so as to increase Hibari's fighting experience and so that he wouldn't see the damage done to the school. As a result, when Hibari reappeared after the [[Storm Ring Battle|Storm Match]] he was only calmed by the prospect of fighting Mukuro.
 
During the [[Cloud Ring Battle]], he appeared to defeat the [[Gola Mosca]] robot and attempted to battle with [[Xanxus]]. However, Gola Mosca once again became active and injured Hibari. During the [[Sky Ring Battle]], he managed to resist the Death Heater venom but was injured while fighting [[Belphegor]]. He retired after rescuing Gokudera and Yamamoto.
 
   
  +
[[File:Helping Gokudera Because He Helped Hibari.PNG|thumb|Hibari's helpful side.]]
===[[Future Arc]]===
 
  +
Hibari dislikes working together with anybody due to feeling indebted and restrained. He strives to pay them back as soon as possible. He cannot stand being restrained and absolutely refuses to allow himself to be controlled. For this same reason, he also refuses to follow order or direction from someone else unless there's absolutely no choice.
[[File:Hibari defeats Gamma.PNG|thumb|left|250px|Future Hibari defeats Gamma]]In the Future, Hibari searched for information concerning [[Box Weapon]]s by starting [[The Foundation]]. He also worked together in secret with the future Tsuna and the [[Millefiore]] spy [[Irie Shoichi]]. Hibari later saved Gokudera and Yamamoto from [[Gamma]]. He agreed to train Tsuna, trapping him in his globe of Needles, resulting in a halucinogenic state where Tsuna was granted his [[X-Gloves|Inheritance]]. Hibari also helped Chrome draw out the power of her ring when her illusionary organs started to fail. Later, Hibari single handedly, defended the hideout against the [[Millefiore]] Raid (as instructed by Shouchi). [[File:Hibari vs Genkishi.PNG|thumb|250px|Genkishi uses his four swords against Hibari]] After this, he infiltrated the [[Melone Base]] and fought [[Genkishi]]. The two were evenly matched, though Genkishi gained the advantage when Hibari had no more rings to spare. As he was about to land a finishing blow, Hibari was replaced by his Past self (a fact that his future self was also made aware of). After receiving help from the injured [[Vongola Guardians|Guardians]] and [[Kusakabe]], Hibari was able to separate the group from Genkishi when his Hedgehog Box Weapon expanded at great speed due to the strength of his [[Dying Will Flames]]. He was later (along with the other Vongola Guardians) given a Vongola Box Weapon.
 
====[[Arcobaleno Trials Arc]]====
 
During his trial of charisma, [[Skull]] paid [[Viper]] to trick Mukuro and Hibari into beating up Tsuna. However the two became more focused in battling one another. Eventually Tsuna was able to convince the two to stop, thus demonstrating his charisma and passing the trial. Later, during Reborn's trial of leadership, Hibari was defeated by Reborn (along with the rest of the [[Vongola Guardians]]). Hibari later destroyed the robot sent by [[Verde]] to kill him, and joined the other Guardians and [[Arcobaleno]] in fighting Verde's army.
 
   
  +
A rare trait about him is his love for small animals, ranging from birds to hedgehogs. He is also shown to have a soft spot for [[I-Pin]], having accepted her Valentine's Day chocolates with a smile and not taking money from [[Tsunayoshi Sawada|Tsuna]] at a festival upon seeing I-Pin worried. And despite his refusal to consider Tsuna and his friends as his comrades, he had saved them on several occasions when they are in mortal danger, albeit distantly. Also, during the arc of the rainbow curse, Hibari stated that Reborn's team was full of people he wanted to fight, which can demonstrate that he is starting to develop a certain level of respect for them. Although Hibari appears to take little or no care for the well-being of others, Hibari is not heartless enough to sacrifice someone's life to fulfil his own ego, as shown when he didn't try to destroy Chrome's [[Cortina Nebbia]] after [[Demon Spade]] revealed that she'll die if the barrier is broken. Hibari's hatred of being controlled is so great that this alone made him overcome the effects of a poison that would kill even a wild elephant during the Battle of Sky. Reborn has already stated that it is this indomitable and solitary nature of Hibari that makes him perfect for the rank of Guardian of the Cloud,as this is the Guardian who protects and serves the family distantly and independently while going his own way unhindered.
====[[Choice Arc]]====
 
He later left the group and encountered the Future Dino, who began training him once again. After the Vongola lost the Choice battle, Hibari used his Vongola Box to slow down the [[Six Funeral Wreaths]] in order to help the Vongola escape.
 
====[[Inheritance Succession Arc]]====
 
   
  +
Future Hibari is shown to be more calm and observant about his opponents, and outwardly admits to hating illusionists because of his grudge towards [[Mukuro Rokudo]], the first person to have defeated him. His desire to be alone and attack people that annoy him still remains, though his actions are shown with more thought. Future Hibari is also seen being more respectful to Future Tsuna, showing that he has accepted him as his boss, seen in one of the flashbacks of [[Shoichi Irie]].
[[File:Hibari_Ignoring_Alude.PNG|thumb|250px|Hibari losing interest in the Trial]]After being sent back to the past to train, the Guardians meet [[Giotto]], who revealed that the 10th Generation Guardians had yet to inherit the true power of the Vongola. Later [[Skull]] became Hibari's tutor as they both possess the [[Cloud Flame]]. That night [[Alaude]] appeared before him from the Vongola Ring. Hibari asked Alaude if he's strong or weak to which Alaude replied that he's strong, but has no interest in facing a child and left. Later that week, Alaude appeared again to give Hibari his trial. Hibari prepared himself to battle but Alaude told him that the trial would not involve fighting, making Hibari lose interest and walk away. Alaude then told Hibari that he shall deem him worthy of his Inheritance if he demonstrated his value as the Cloud Guardian, warning him that he only had until the end of the day. [[File:Ryohei and Hibari Worthy.PNG|thumb|left|250px|Ryohei and Hibari deemed worthy]][[Ryohei]] tried to persuade Hibari to take his trial and ended up annoying Hibari with his persistence, and as the two prepared to fight on the school roof, Skull arrived via an airship and, angered by Hibari's lack of obedience, began to attack. During the fight the airship began to lose control and crash towards the School, however Ryohei and Hibari worked together and managed to stop it while defeating Skull and protecting [[Kyoko]] and [[Haru]]. Afterwards Hibari agreed to take the trial in order to repay Ryohei for protecting the school but at that moment Knuckle showed up, announcing that Ryohei had already passed his Trial by convincing Hibari. Alaude also appeared, declaring that Hibari too, had passed the test by refraining from socializing with the family while at the same time adapting to the situation to protect those that needed protection. Later, while the other Guardians were trapped in [[Daemon Spade]]'s illusion, Skull took Hibari's armband so that he would chase him to Kokuyo Land. Once there Hibari went on a rampage and broke the illusion around the other Guardians.
 
   
 
== Abilities ==
====[[Future Final Battle Arc]]====
 
 
[[File:Hibari Reflexes.PNG|thumb|Hibari's fast reflexes.]]
[[File:Hibari vs Daisy.PNG|thumb|250px|Hibari fights Daisy]]Back in the future, Hibari and Dino faced off against [[Daisy]] at Namimori High. Daisy opened his Box of Carnage and defeated Dino. However, Hibari was able to defeat Daisy once he used his [[Cambio Forma]] and confiscated the [[Mare Rings|Sun Mare Ring]]. He later appeared to be killed by [[Kikyo]], though it turned out to be an Illusion created by Mukuro. Later, Hibari had his Dying Will Flames drained by [[Ghost]] (along with everyone else present).
 
  +
Hibari's reputation as a frightening individual definitely precedes him, earning the respect and fear of many people, both present and future. He is the strongest of the tenth generation Vongola Guardians and has hardly ever lost a fight in the series. In the times he faced against [[Hayato Gokudera|Gokudera]] and [[Takeshi Yamamoto|Yamamoto]], he easily defeated them in their first initial encounters. Afterward, they grew strong enough to give him a challenge, but still not enough to excite him, as the only ones that could do that were [[Reborn]] and Future Tsuna.<ref>{{KHRRef|anime|87}}</ref><ref>{{KHRRef|chap|159}}</ref>
   
  +
One of the most terrifying traits of Hibari is his immense resilience and endurance. He is still able to fight despite having several broken bones and even capable of resisting Death Heather poison that was capable of stopping elephants from moving. Later on, Hibari has become very adept at using [[Ring]]s, although he usually shatters them after one use, due to the intensity of his flames. Hibari is capable of emitting massive Dying Will Flames with the Cloud [[Vongola Ring]]. The massive flame overloaded his Box Weapon to the point it made the [[Porcospino Nuvola]] drunk from the flames, causing it to go out of control.
===[[Inheritance Ceremony Arc]]===
 
After being sent back to the past, Hibari soon started arguing with a transfer from [[Shimon Middle High School]], [[Adelheid Suzuki]], about the control of Namimori Middle School. The next day, they started fighting in the rooftop but were stopped by Tsuna. At the Ceremony, he surprised the entire Family with his murderous intent and the fact that he had decided to show up at all. He states that the people who have disturbed the peace of Namimori Middle will be bitten to death. Later, he along with the other guardians, was defeated by Enma, and had their Vongola Rings broken.
 
   
  +
Learning from his defeat against Mukuro along with his hatred against all illusionist from it, Hibari has learned various ways to fight against enemies who uses illusions. He is also became perceptive enough not to be easily deceived by illusions of Mukuro's and Mammon's level.
After the Shimon Famiglia left, Dino asked him if he was all right. Hibari replied that he was, with the exception of his pride. Later, while Talbot was upgrading the Vongola Rings, Hibari waited in a different room from Tsuna and the others. Like the others, he was able to show his resolve and his Vongola Ring upgraded into [[Bracelet of the Clouds Version X]]. Upon arrival at the Shimon Island, he watches the others from a helicopter. When Adelheid appears to challenge the Vongola Famiglia he appears from helicopter along with Kusakabe who left shortly. He accepted Adelheid's challenge, claimed that she cannot bite him to death and revealed his Vongola Gear, Modified Uniform, starting the battle.
 
   
 
=== Techniques ===
Before Hibari could attack, Adelheid encased herself in her Diamond Castle, claiming it was impenetrable. She then summoned 500 Blizzardroids, claiming that they all possessed the same level of skill as her and that they would take Hibari's arm band. Uninterested, Hibari calmly strikes down the first Blizzardroids that attack him using a Cloud Flame-enhanced chain shot out from his tonfas, much to Adelheid's surprise. Hibari then begins striking down the other Blizzardroids, switching between his tonfas, the chain, Roll and Alaude's Handcuffs until all 500 have been destroyed. Undeterred, Adelheid reforms several Blizzardroids behind Hibari, who dismisses them as not a threat to him. Adelheid then asks Hibari why a man of his caliber has sided with Tsuna, and Kyoya retorts that he isn't and asks Adelheid why she follows someone equally as pitiful. When Adelheid tries to defend Enma by saying he carries the sadness of Simon, Hibari remarks he is a small animal and that because he bears things too big for him and because of that he keeps on screaming.
 
 
* '''[[Flame Radar|Cloud Flame Radar]]''': Hibari uses his Ring's Flames as a radar by thinly spreading the Flame over a wide area and using the vibrations to detect anything that enters the area. This allows him to counter illusions by using it to sense where the actual object is, as seen in his battle against Genkishi's [[Spettro Nudibranchi]].
   
 
== Equipment ==
This sends Adelheid into a rage, who declares that Enma hates war and only chose this path to preserve the Simon, while sending her revived Blizzardroids to attack Hibari, who quickly cuts them down. Hibari then begins striking Adelheid's Diamond Castle, but his attacks seem to do nothing more than leave shallow cracks in the ice. As Adelheid revives her Blizzardroids again, Hibari quickly defeats them and continues trying to break the castle, but Reborn comments that if Hibari continues at this pace he would run out of stamina. When Adelheid claims that Hibari will never break her castle and take her armband, Hibari says that in some cases, small animals aren't weaklings and have their methods of survival, otherwise they would've died out long ago. He then comments that Roll would be the one to shatter her castle from the inside; as Adelheid ponders what he means, it is revealed that Hibari planted copies of Roll in each crack he left. He then has Roll go into Needle Sphere Form and the copies inside the castle grow and shatter it. Hibari then appears behind a stunned Adelheid who says that despite her loss, Enma would revive the Simon and Hibari would regret siding with the Vongola. Hibari responds that he isn't on either side but does as he pleases, which Adelheid claims makes him a true cloud of the great sky. While Hibari doesn't like her phrasing, he states that the sky does allow the clouds to move freely, but one day he would bite up the sky itself.
 
  +
[[File:Hibari Back To Normal 2.PNG|thumb|Hibari's pair of tonfas.]]
  +
* '''[[Cloud Tonfas|Tonfas]]''': Hibari's main weapon for combat is a pair of tonfas. It is revealed that they hold hidden compartments. The ends of the tonfas can release flails and the sides contain spikes and hooks.
 
[[File:Vongola Cloud Hedgehog2.PNG|thumb|Vongola Cloud Hedgehog]]
  +
* '''[[Porcospino Nuvola]]''': Hibari's [[Box Weapon]], nicknamed as '''Roll'''. It is a small purple hedgehog with silver spikes. Hibari uses his hedgehogs when he fights opponents he deems as weak. With Cloud Flame's [[Propagation]] characteristic, Roll is able to multiply in number and grow to large proportions.
 
** '''[[Porcospino Nuvola ver. Vongola]]''': Hibari's original Cloud Hedgehog Roll is later integrated into his Vongola Box. It now appears as a Hedgehog with larger, but fewer, spikes than the other Cloud Hedgehogs.
  +
*** '''[[Porcospino Nuvola ver. Vongola#Cambio Forma|Alaudi's Handcuffs]]''': Roll's [[Cambio Forma]] takes the form of a pair of spiked black handcuffs. He can multiply the number of handcuffs by using the Cloud Flame's Propagation characteristic.
  +
* '''[[Vongola Ring|Cloud Vongola Ring]]''': Won after the [[Vongola Ring Conflict]] against the [[Varia]]. Hibari wears the [[Ring]] on his right hand. He is able to open [[Cloud Flame|Cloud-attribute]] [[Box Weapon]]s.
 
** '''[[Bracelet of the Cloud Version X]]''': The upgraded Vongola Cloud Ring, combined with Hibari's Vongola Box animal Roll. In battle, Roll now has jewels on both his forehead and chest. He is now capable of merging directly with Hibari for his Cambio Forma.
   
 
== Reception ==
After Daemon possesses Mukuro's body, Hibari challenges him into one-on-one battle and tells Tsuna and th eothers not to interfere. At first, he's seen gaining the upperhand until Daemon copied Ryohei's Vongola Gear and uses Maximum Sunshine Counter. Hibari able to dodges this since Daemon let it miss on purpose and then traps Hibari into his Illusionary world like he did to Gokudera, Yamamoto, Lambo, and Julie.

+
== Etymology ==
  +
* ''Kyoya'' contains the characters {{Japanese|恭|kyō|modest|fmt="j"(r,l)}} and {{Japanese|弥|ya|progress|fmt="j"(r,l)}}.
Hibari displays bitter resentment and rivalry towards Mukuro Rokudo due to humiliation over his defeat. As such Hibari appears to have developed an obsession to defeat Mukuro and from this, a hate for all illusionists. Reborn is even able to quell Hibari's rage by using the possibility of him fighting Mukuro again. Mukuro seems to have some interest in Hibari, after he was able to move with so many injuries. He even have his subordinates Ken, Chikusa, and Chrome to watch his match against Gola Mosca. In the future, they still continue with this rivalry and have yet to finish (since Mukuro is still imprisoned). However, they seem at least, to have a respect towards each other, Mukuro even sent a map of Melone Base to Hibari when he disguised himself as Byakuran's subordinate.
 
  +
* ''Hibari'' is the Japanese term for ''[[wikipedia:Alauda|Alauda]]'' (skylarks), a species of perching birds. It also contains the character {{Japanese|雲|kumo|cloud|fmt="j"(r,l)}}, reflecting his flame attribute and role as Cloud Guardian.
  +
* A common [[Fanon:Shorthands|shorthand]] of his name is "18", a combination of {{Japanese|一|hi|one|fmt="r"(j,l)}} and {{Japanese|八|ha or ba|eight|fmt="r"(j,l)}}. Hibari was featured on the cover of [[Version Vongola Ring Arrives!|Volume 18]], same as his shorthand.

{{See also|List of Futa's rankings#Hibari|t1=Futa's rankings on Hibari}}
In the Databook, he commented that he can't understand Tsuna since he's weak sometimes and strong sometimes (Dying Will Mode). At first, Tsuna didn't interest him, but in the Future, Tsuna already gained his respect. Hibari states the only two people that makes him joyed to fight is Reborn and Future Tsuna. Together with Irie and Vongola Decimo (Future Tsuna), they planned to send Tsuna and the other Guardians from the Past to the Future. Tsuna also sees him as valuable comrade at fighting and thinks very highly of him. More often, though, Tsuna sees him as a scary person and doesn't want to incur his wrath. In Inheritance Ceremony Arc, when Tsuna lost his will to fight and depressed, Hibari confronted him and said that he makes a boring face and told him to watch closely his fight. This may mean that Hibari has started to acknowledge the current Tsuna's power. Along with his statement to Adelheid, that "he will one day bite the sky", may show that he has a desire to fight Tsuna.

Both of them are the two oldest Guardians. Ryohei acknowledges Hibari's power and had already visited his house several times to challenge him but was always beaten by him (according to the artbook). On the other hand, Hibari only sees him as a "noisy animal" and treats him like the others. However, in the Future, they seem to already have a respect toward each other. Ryohei even invited him to drink together at some event which Hibari refused, and sometimes their thoughts clash with each other and create an argument, which ends up with Ryohei challenging him to fight. In the Inheritance Succession Arc (anime only), Ryohei is the only one who managed to convince Hibari to take the trial. This makes Ryohei the second person to be able to convice Hibari on something, after Dino.

Moreover, Dino seems to be the only one who can convince Hibari to stop fighting, though at first, it was very hard to do so. However in the Future, he is able to convince him more easily and always accompanies him if he "runs off" because of his dislike of crowds. They are not on good terms or close to each other, but Dino thinks of him as a reliable Guardian for Tsuna. Hibari doesn't seem to hate him, although he is sometimes irritated by him.

In the Future, Hibari has become far more adept at using Rings; opening Cloud attribute Box weapon's with Cloud Rings, although he usually shatter's them after one use, due to the intensity of his flames. His signature Box weapons are his Cloud hedgehogs and are often used to fight opponents he deems as weak. And on occasion when fights opponents he deems as strong he uses his Cloud tonfa's.

The current as well as younger Hibari however is not as adept at using the Rings but continues to learn none the less, which eventually leads him to be adept at using them in the Future.

Overview
Synopsis
Relationships
Gallery
Appearances

Kyoya Hibari, commonly referred to as Hibari, is the leader of the Namimori Middle Disciplinary Committee, a group of delinquents who are all loyal to him. He was nominated and accepted as the tenth generation Cloud Guardian of the Vongola Famiglia. He is often seen napping on the rooftop of Namimori Middle School, alongside Hibird.

Appearance[]

Hibari is a young man with an average height and short black hair with a fringe that joins at the center of his face. He has narrow gray eyes, often intimidating those who see them. He bears a striking resemblance to the first generation Cloud Guardian, Alaudi, as well as the Arcobaleno, Fon.

Hibari's most common outfit is his Disciplinary Committee uniform. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt, black pants, black shoes, and a black gakuran top worn on his shoulders, with the committee's armband pinned on the top's left sleeve. He also wears the standard Namimori Middle School summer uniform, along with the armband. During the Varia Arc, Hibari wears the winter uniform, also with the armband.

After gaining the Cloud Vongola Ring, Hibari wears it on his right middle finger. He wears the Bracelet of the Cloud Version X on his left wrist.

Ten-years-later Hibari has changed to wearing a simple black suit, with a purple shirt and black necktie. His hair is also shorter, having been cut to appear messier, and with hardly any fringe. When not training or fighting, he would wear a black kinagashi.

Personality[]

Dying-Will-Return

Hibari's eagerness to fight.

As stated by others, Hibari is a scary character with little to no care for the well-being of others, preferring to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He has full confidence in his own strength and power. This often leads to his opponents surprising him, as he doesn't think before attacking. As the head of Namimori Middle's Disciplinary Committee, Hibari uses authority to assault those that get on his nerves, including his own subordinates. Hibari is fiercely loyal to his school and its rules, going so far as to punish others for breaking them even if they aren't students or at the school, such as Genkishi.

A lone wolf by nature, Hibari prefers to be alone and hates crowding. This leads him to beat anyone who he thinks is crowding around him too much.

Helping Gokudera Because He Helped Hibari

Hibari's helpful side.

Hibari dislikes working together with anybody due to feeling indebted and restrained. He strives to pay them back as soon as possible. He cannot stand being restrained and absolutely refuses to allow himself to be controlled. For this same reason, he also refuses to follow order or direction from someone else unless there's absolutely no choice.

A rare trait about him is his love for small animals, ranging from birds to hedgehogs. He is also shown to have a soft spot for I-Pin, having accepted her Valentine's Day chocolates with a smile and not taking money from Tsuna at a festival upon seeing I-Pin worried. And despite his refusal to consider Tsuna and his friends as his comrades, he had saved them on several occasions when they are in mortal danger, albeit distantly. Also, during the arc of the rainbow curse, Hibari stated that Reborn's team was full of people he wanted to fight, which can demonstrate that he is starting to develop a certain level of respect for them. Although Hibari appears to take little or no care for the well-being of others, Hibari is not heartless enough to sacrifice someone's life to fulfil his own ego, as shown when he didn't try to destroy Chrome's Cortina Nebbia after Demon Spade revealed that she'll die if the barrier is broken. Hibari's hatred of being controlled is so great that this alone made him overcome the effects of a poison that would kill even a wild elephant during the Battle of Sky. Reborn has already stated that it is this indomitable and solitary nature of Hibari that makes him perfect for the rank of Guardian of the Cloud,as this is the Guardian who protects and serves the family distantly and independently while going his own way unhindered.

Future Hibari is shown to be more calm and observant about his opponents, and outwardly admits to hating illusionists because of his grudge towards Mukuro Rokudo, the first person to have defeated him. His desire to be alone and attack people that annoy him still remains, though his actions are shown with more thought. Future Hibari is also seen being more respectful to Future Tsuna, showing that he has accepted him as his boss, seen in one of the flashbacks of Shoichi Irie.

Abilities[]

Hibari Reflexes

Hibari's fast reflexes.

Hibari's reputation as a frightening individual definitely precedes him, earning the respect and fear of many people, both present and future. He is the strongest of the tenth generation Vongola Guardians and has hardly ever lost a fight in the series. In the times he faced against Gokudera and Yamamoto, he easily defeated them in their first initial encounters. Afterward, they grew strong enough to give him a challenge, but still not enough to excite him, as the only ones that could do that were Reborn and Future Tsuna.[6][7]

One of the most terrifying traits of Hibari is his immense resilience and endurance. He is still able to fight despite having several broken bones and even capable of resisting Death Heather poison that was capable of stopping elephants from moving. Later on, Hibari has become very adept at using Rings, although he usually shatters them after one use, due to the intensity of his flames. Hibari is capable of emitting massive Dying Will Flames with the Cloud Vongola Ring. The massive flame overloaded his Box Weapon to the point it made the Porcospino Nuvola drunk from the flames, causing it to go out of control.

Learning from his defeat against Mukuro along with his hatred against all illusionist from it, Hibari has learned various ways to fight against enemies who uses illusions. He is also became perceptive enough not to be easily deceived by illusions of Mukuro's and Mammon's level.

Techniques[]

  • Cloud Flame Radar: Hibari uses his Ring's Flames as a radar by thinly spreading the Flame over a wide area and using the vibrations to detect anything that enters the area. This allows him to counter illusions by using it to sense where the actual object is, as seen in his battle against Genkishi's Spettro Nudibranchi.
