 * Tybalt Volumnia De Capluet is a character in the anime Romeo x Juliet. He is voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu in the Japanese version and Mike McFarland in the 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. He is seen to be able to ImagesCAZ8OPCJ.jpgulate 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. 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".

It is hinted in the series that he may have a possible crush on Juliet. As when he finally came face-to-face with Montague instead of killing him, after almost a lifetime of hating him, he controlled his anger (not an easy task either) and instead asked him how to save Juliet. He is also shown to have concern for her well being, but the feelings appear to be more than just that of friendship. This is shown when Juliet admits to him that she is going to die to save the world. As she leaves he calls out to her as if he is struggling to say something else.



Origin
He is based off a character of the same name in the original play, although in the anime he is Romeo's half-brother instead of Juliet's maternal cousin like in the play. 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 fights and kills Mercutio before being killed by Romeo, who is enraged and seeking revenge for Mercutio's death.

Character
He is a mysterious man. When in battle, Tybalt is a ruthless assassin using two daggers to fight, usually killing his opponents in one hit without regret. Tybalt was depicted as a loyal but very hot-headed man in the play, unlike in the anime, where he is often calm and collected. The result of Tybalt's death in the original play was due to his lack of self-control over his rivalry with Romeo.

At the end of the series, Tybalt, with no more reason to hate or fight, seems to have become a more easy going and gentle person. He is wearing brighter clothing and was giving a ride to the two younger siblings of Petruchio on Cielo, fulfilling Romeo's final promise to Petruchio.
