Ten is very important to Xanxus Ten is a very important number to Xanxus. He wants to be the tenth Vongola Boss, his birthday is October 10 (the tenth day of the tenth month of the year), his name has two X's in it, his handmade fire arms bear a red X on them. It seems that everything that makes him revolve around the number ten. As far as I can tell, the only thing his mother gave him were his name and the illusions of grandeur that made him believe he was the Ninth boss' son. When the Ninth took him in, he was raised to be a boss candidate for the most powerful family in the world. He believed that he legitimately had a shot at the title of tenth boss, and everything he did was based in that idea. He competed with his brothers over the title, he killed his brothers over it, and he tried to kill his father when he found out there was no way he could obtain it.

Ten is very important to Xanxus He believes that he deserves to be the Tenth boss for a variety of reasons. One is because his name has two X's. The others are basically because he's superior to everyone in every single way. Still, I think it really needs to be mentioned that ten two times is twenty, I just feel like I really need to tell him that. Someone should. I feel like math probably wasn't one of his strong suits despite the fact that he's an extremely calculating individual. (Yes, I hear the crickets.) That aside, the name Perfect Ten had been an idea for the site title because of Xanxus revolutions around the number ten. If you go back and count the number of sections in the informational section of this site, you'll see that they add up to 25. Two times five is ten, and yes that was intentional (it's also better computation than Xanxus seems to be capable of).

Someone please tell him that ten and ten is twenty! In seriousness, though, I mentioned that his name was one of two things his mother gave him. She believed that Xanxus was the son of the Ninth boss, for this reason she believed her son was destined for great things. Being his son, he would naturally be a candidate for the tenth position. I feel like she probably started the idea that he should be the tenth boss, and as the only tangible thing he has left from and of his mother he holds onto it for dear life without realizing that he's doing it. His name was given to him to signify his greatness. He is great, he will be tenth boss. His name states it. It's an idea he cannot shake. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that Xanxus loves his mother, or that he misses her. I'd bet almost anything he couldn't care less. What he does care about is his own importance and getting what is owed to him as a birthright. In fact, I'd be hard pressed to believe he legitimately remembers anything of his mother other than the idea that his name has two x's in it and that it is his divine right to be the Tenth Boss of the Vongola.
