"The Clam passes down its form from Generation to Generation."
Vongola Primo entrusted the true form of the Vongola to myself, Sawada Tsunayoshi. And so, as Vongola Decimo I am ready to do the same and pass on this form and entrust it's evolution to the next generation. While it has been expressed that this has come too soon, I can only say that I've done everything I can for the Vongola. I wanted to recreate the Vongola as the Family Primo originally made it to be. Thanks to the support of so many--friends, allies, even enemies--I've accomplished what I became Vongola X for. Now, it's not Vongola X who's needed for the next evolution of the Vongola form. I've chosen my successor and just as a dear friend did for me, I need you to guide him. I gave my mentor a lot of trouble, and in some ways he'll give you some as well. But I believe in both you and him to rise to the challenge. I'm sorry to burden you with this but...Please take care of Vongola XI~

Sincerely,
Sawada Tsunayoshi

When the word "mafia" is uttered, what comes to your mind? Guns, turf wars, fancy suits, and "families"? What about an energy that flows through everyone and represents a strong spirit? Or a myriad of weaponry other than firearms that have incredible powers? How about a set of items that break down the boundaries of time and space? Do you think of struggles to determine the fate of the world? The mafia world is far more than anyone could have imagined. Fourteen year old Sawada Tsunayoshi found this out for himself when a infant calling himself a hitman showed up at his door and told him he was to become the leader of the most powerful mafia family in the world, the Vongola.

Though Tsunayoshi had always been opposed to the idea of being Vongola Decimo but eventually he chose to take on the title and fulfill the resolve he showed during the Vongola Trial. “I don't need... this kind of power! If you want me to inherit such mistakes... Then, I... I WILL WIPE OUT THE VONGOLA!” Over the years Tsuna has reshaped the Vongola and restored it to what Vongola Primo originally intended the group to be. The uncanny similarities between Tsuna and Giotto were always obvious. From their appearance to their ideologies and now even their early retirements. Though the Vongola has been rebuilt, the mafia world is still the same and Tsuna never intended to be a mafioso. He's chosen his successor and the guardian candidates have been selected. Only time will tell what is in store for Vongola Undicesimo and the next generation.
