Don Valentino's anime appearance

Don Valentino is a short white goat with big, round eyes; having the black diagonal line surrounded by the yellow eye balls, and thin lips. Like his species, he dons two sharp, golden horns engraved on his head, it is currently unknown if he utilizes them when in combat or for other purposes. His two ears are horizontally across from one another, having a pinkish color encompassed by the outer white fur that his body shelters in.[1]

His simple attire consist of a double colored cape. The front view is tinted with a dark color while the inside is rewarded with a purplish color. The cape's opened neck reaches up to Don Valentino's lower lip. Don Valentino also spots a golden neck accessory that seems to connect to the cape, holding it together. Don Valentino keeps his signature goatee slightly separated in the middle, forming two, small pointy goatees. He walks around barefooted. His hands and feet consist of two black toes.[1]

Personality[]

Don runs

Don runs from the police

Don Valentino is a mafioso whose own name, when spoken of, terrorizes the listeners. His actions are described as pure evil, as stated by Kuniharu Ogino, as he is charged with hefty crimes such as bank robberies, frauds, weapon smuggling, spy operations and more can be added to his list of crimes that, unfortunately, contain no evidence whatsoever but have, however, cost Valentino many crime charges.[2] Despite his reputation, Don Valentino, at first glance, seems like a defenseless little goat with a sense of humor. When Yūta Sasaki seals the entrance which Kuniharu was entering from to capture Don Valentino, Valentino sits on his, Yūta's, head and thanks him, and even asks him if he would like to become part of his family. And gets carried away with the thought of having the strongest member among the intruders sealed.[3]

The money Don Valentino steals he uses as a specialized meal "cooked" by Lorenzo, and then spits it out with a stylized picture of himself on the right side of the bill. When Hiroshi Inaba transformed into a wolf, Don Valentino, filled with terror, grabs his gun and shoots him multiple times, stating that he thought all the wolfs were gone from Japan. It has also been shown that Don likes to read books about his species, even to the point of aiming for revenge when the characters in the books are killed by the person standing before him.[4] When pushed into a corner, Don does not hesitate and runs when a chance is given.[5]

History[]

Don Valentino was a well-known mafia boss in Italy, but suddenly went low-profile when Italy changed currency from Lira to Euro. He is well known for his numerous and successful crimes which are all evidence-free. His name can cause someone to lose their state of mind, as it goes to prove his terrorizing reputation that he built as he life progressed.[6]

Seconds after, Don and Lorenzo move a small fridge over to a metal, ground door as they see Ogino's head raising from it, much to the latter's displeasure. He is then shocked to see Yūta seal it with tape. Don then sits on his head and calls his actions superb, as well as inviting him into his family. Thinking that the strongest of the intruders has been sealed, Don regains his confidence and tells the enemy to come at them.[7]

After the 'meal" is served, Don eats the money and spits it back out with a stylized picture of himself on the right side. Before he is able to do anything, Kei Nozaki approaches and delivers his Peasant's Punch on Don's face. And later beings to kick him with his Commoner's Kick multiple times.

Skills & Abilities[]

Weapon Specialist: Don Valentino shows expertise with weapons such as guns. He is able to fire multiple bullets at once without being pushed back by the pressure, even with his small body. Don, surprisingly, has an amazing accuracy when firing at the desire object, despite if the target is higher in elevation or lower than him. However, when the gun runs out of bullets, it takes him a while to recharge it with a new pack of bullets, allowing the opponent(s) a chance to attack him from behind.[10]

Immense Durability: Don Valentino has shown an immense durability when in battle. When he was punched with Kei's Peasant's Punch he recovered rapidly, and was able to withstand a barrage of Kei's Commoner's Kick.[11] His durability was shown again when he fights Hiroshi; he is able to get up and leave the scene before being captured by the police.[12]
