Tybalt Volumnia De Capulet


 * Tybalt (ティボルト, Tiboruto?) Voiced by: Ryōtarō Okiayu (Japanese), Mike McFarland (English)
 * Tybalt Volumnia De Capulet is a mysterious warrior later revealed to be the son of Leontes Montague. The series depicts Tybalt as a vigilante with an intense hatred for Lord Montague and sympathies aligning with the Capulet faction; he is the illegitimate son of Lord Montague and a unnamed Capulet woman who had been seduced by Lord Montague, making him Romeo's older half-brother. When in battle, Tybalt is a ruthless assassin using two daggers to fight, usually killing his opponents in one hit without regret, and is seen to be able to manipulate the shadows of society easily. He continually tests Juliet's resolve and sends Romeo to chase her after she goes to Escalus, eventually acting as an intermediary between Juliet and Romeo. At the end of the series, Tybalt is seen wearing brighter clothing and giving a ride to the two younger siblings of Petrucchio on Cielo, fulfilling Romeo's final promise to Petrucchio for him. After Juliet and Romeo's death, he is the last person with "pure" Capulet and Montague blood running in him; he can be considered as the last "pure Capulet and Montague". Also, like Curio, Romeo, and Francisco, he is in love with Juliet, though he would never admit it in words. He does show that he loves her in episode 22.


 * He is based on the same character in the original play, though he is Juliet's maternal cousin rather than Romeo's half-brother. In the original play, Tybalt is an arrogant, selfish but loyal ally to the Capulet family, as he is Juliet's maternal cousin and Romeo's sworn rival. He is eventually killed by Romeo, enraged and seeking revenge for Mercutio, who was killed by Tybalt.
