Listen to me, LISTEN TO ME. I know in canon it seems like the 10th gen wants to become mafia, or that they’re okay with it at the very least, and that they don’t care that Tsuna very much doesn’t want to become mafia until the very end, but it’s because they look at a different choice from Tsuna. For Tsuna, his options are to either become mafia and Vongola, which’d mean dragging all his friends into it too, or somehow manage to make Vongola give up on him so none of them will have to become part of the mafia. And so of course he tries his very best and his hardest to somehow achieve the latter, however unrealistic it is and how little power he has to do that, if at all, as Vongola is the strongest mafia family in the world. But he has to try anyway so none of them will become mafia, but first and foremost so none of his friends he loves so much will become mafia against their wishes, especially when it’d only happen because they happen to love him back, the last legitimate Vongola Decimo candidate.

But for the 10th gen, the choice in front of them is to whether turn their backs on Tsuna so to be free from the mafia, or keep standing by his side even if it means they become mafia. Do you get what I mean? For them, it’s always about Tsuna first and foremost before it’s ever about Vongola and if becoming mafia is something they want. They look at Tsuna and the life he’s being dragged to, very much caring that he doesn’t want any of it and yet doesn’t have the power to stop them from dragging him closer to that life, and ask themselves: “Do I love Tsuna enough to let myself be dragged to that life too, so I can help him see it through and find as much happiness as possible from it?”. And of course, of course the answer is yes and comes to them as naturally as breathing.

And so they give in because they must, because they don’t have (yet) the power to fight back against it and win. Because should they not be willing enough, they might decide they wouldn’t mind making them part of their world even if it means breaking them to make it happen, and they wouldn’t have (yet) the power to stop it from happening. To stop it from happening to Tsuna.

And so they willingly let them teach them how to be a mafioso so they’ll be able to stand their own in the world they’re forcing them to become a part of. They willingly let them teach them how to be a powerful mafioso so they’ll be strong enough to protect each other from and survive in the world they’re forcing them to become a part of. And then maybe to even still be happy in that world. (And then maybe to even break free from that world.)

They’re all doing it for each other despite none of them wanting any of it. Because they care about loving each other and doing justice to that love more than being able to do the things they want. Do you get it? Please tell me you get it!!!!

By the final battle in this arc it was so clear why Tsuna was fighting and it was so clear that everyone else just wanted to stand by his side and make sure he was okay. They want to protect him as much as he protects them.
