Mafia Ring Boxes

The Mafia Ring Boxes are weapons that feature in Reborn!.

History

The Mafia Ring Boxes were weapons that were imagined more than four centuries ago by a biologist named Geppetto Lorenzini. He came upon the idea of building such weapons after observing animals in nature whereupon he designed 343 different animal-type box weapons. These machines were regarded as 'over-technology' that were said to be inventions impossible to manufacture by scientific knowledge at the time where they were stored away by a secret society. Centuries later, three scientists belonging to the secret society found the manuscripts of Lorenzini and decided to continue his research. These were Koenig, Innocenti, and Verde who had discovered the rings that were passed down he Mafia as heirlooms were actually power sources for the box weapons. Thus, they were able to solve the technical issues in Lorenzini's design where they were able to produce the first prototypes after five years of research. Centuries later, three scientists belonging to the same society as Lorenzini found his manuscripts and continued his research. Koenig, Innocenti, and Verde discovered that the rings passed down by the Mafia as heirlooms could serve as an optimal power source for the Box Weapons. With this breakthrough, they managed to solve the technical issues in Lorenzini's design and produced a prototype after five years of research. After successfully perfecting and manufacturing Lorenzini's 343 designs, the three scientists also researched and developed new types of Box Weapons, such as storage Boxes containing support items and conventional weaponry. To fund their research, the scientists sold the Box Weapons to the Mafia in great quantities but at very low prices. Eventually, Koenig will remain as the last researcher as Innocenti perished for unknown reasons and Verde was deceased until his resurrection by Uni. Koenig, went into hiding and kept developing and trading Box Weapons as an underground arms-dealer. While the origins of Box Weapons were somewhat well-known in the future, nobody was able to produce a clear answer as to how the Boxes managed to be perfected. Ten-years-later Kyoya Hibari's investigation led him to conclude that the answer was simply coincidence, but he himself admitted that these coincidences happened in an unnatural fashion and that there were many inconsistencies left to be explained. Eventually, it was revealed that Byakuran secretly used The Mare Rings' Miracle to help in the completion of the Box Weapon technology.

Overview

The boxes are powered by the flame emitted by both mafia rings. The boxes powers are relative dependent on the users flame. The bigger the flame that is used to power the box the more powerful the weapon is, however a flames size can only give the box a fraction of its power. The true strength of the boxes is pulled from the flame's purity. As a flame become more and more pure the boxes power will increase exponentially. There were 343 different animal boxes. These boxes produce weapons that were based on animals, both real and legendary. Each box releases their respective animal which upon release was covered in the users flame and given abilities their real life counterparts do not possess.

Some users had modified their boxes from their original design such as the Stag Beetle. Theses weapons were improved in someway but since they were artificially modified they often have fatal weaknesses. These boxes were called "Unbalance Boxes".

They were classified accordingly to the seven Flames of the Sky. Also just like the Box Weapons, the Rings are further categorized into a ranking system that ranges from E-rank (lowest) to A-rank (highest). This ranking implies many things, but above all, it seems to establish the maximum output of the Rings and its effectiveness as a power source for the Box Weapons.

There are two distinct types of boxes that were created. First, there is the original animal boxes that were created from four century old blueprints. Second, there was the new boxes that could produce any weapon that could be imagined.

Though many Rings were treated as treasures inside the Mafia Families and passed down as inheritances throughout the generations, the truth about their powers remained a secret known only by a few circles for a long time. The Flames of the rings are a central element in the battle methodology of the Future since they are used as a power source for the Box Weapons.
