Tybalt Volumnia De Capulet ( ティボルト ・ヴォルムニア・カプレット , Tiboruto Vuorumunia Kapuretto ) is a character in the Romeo X Juliet series. The series depicts Tybalt as a vigilante with an intense hatred for Lord Montague and sympathies aligning with the Capulet faction. He is quick to take a life and doesn't seem to have any regrets in doing so.

Tybalt is the illegitimate son of Leontes van de Montague and Volumnia Capulet, and the half-brother of Romeo Candore De Montague. Unsure of what Leontes would do if he ever found out about his half Capulet son, Tybalt was taken in by Camilo after his birth and passing of his mother. At 15yo, Tybalt left Camilo's estate. Tybalt has sworn to hate and avenge her by killing the Grand Duke of the Montague family, Leontes. We learn of Tybalt's history in Act 17: Cruel Tyrant - Darkness, the Origin.

It is later revealed Tybalt has a network of paid spies and informants throughout Neo Verona. He is shown to be able to manipulate the shadows of society easily. Tybalt is also one of the few outside the circle of Capulet retainers who knows both Juliet's secret as the last of the Capulets and her persona as the Red Whirlwind. He continually tests Juliet's resolve and sends Romeo to chase her after she goes to Escalus, who eventually acts as an intermediary between Romeo and Juliet Fiamatta Arst de Capulet. After the death of Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt 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. Tybalt is often shown to have concern for her well being, but the feelings appear to be more than just that of friendship. We see this 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 how to save Juliet. Also, when Juliet admits to him that she is going to die to save the world, he calls out to her as if he is struggling to say something else when she leaves.

Origin

Tybalt is based off a character of the same name in the original play. Although in the anime, he is Romeo Candore De Montague's half-brother instead of Juliet Fiamatta Arst de Capulet'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 Marchege before being killed by Romeo, who is enraged and seeking revenge for Mercutio's death.

Character

Tybalt is a handsome mysterious man. When in battle, he is a ruthless assassin using two daggers to fight, usually killing his opponents in one hit without regret. In the play, Tybalt was depicted as a loyal but very hot-headed man. However, in the anime, 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 Petruchio's siblings on Cielo , fulfilling Romeo's final promise to Petruchio.
