Giulio Gandini (ジュリオ・ガンディーニ Jurio Gandīni?) is a major character from My Hero Academia: You're Next. He is the butler for the wealthy Scervino family.
Appearance[]
Giulio is a man of average build with brownish-red hair tied back into a short ponytail, thin greenish-blue eyes, sharp teeth, and a mole under his left eye. After he was attacked by the Gollini Family, he lost his right eye, right arm, and left leg, which were later replaced with corresponding Support Items. His right eye also gained scarring around the socket, which he obscures with an eyepatch.
Fitting to his occupation, Giulio wears a black tailcoat, pants, and dress shoes, a grey vest, a black and gray striped tie, and a white undershirt with the collar popped up. He keeps his right sleeve rolled up and his left pant leg torn in order to keep his prosthetics exposed. His left leg and torso also have an array of belts strapping a pouch and holsters for his ammo and extra firearms.
In the anime, he is seen among the evacuees in U.A.'s residential area, now wearing blue jeans, and a loose-fitting, light blue dress shirt with the right sleeve rolled up just below his elbow.[2]
Personality[]
Guilio is a calm, stern, and "polite" gentleman who has a fierce sense of loyalty to the Scervino Family, especially Anna. In the past, he was far more polite and happier. Despite being bound to the family's mansion and unable to leave Anna's side, he was still content and grateful towards Anna's father for taking him in and giving him a job and a home. Even after being left for dead by the Gollini Family and losing his Quirk, Giulio managed to literally piece himself together and pursue them to find Anna. Giulio was even honor-bound to finish Anna off as she requested, despite him being in much agony on the thought of said action.
Giulio is rather cold to new people as shown with Izuku Midoriya, where he asked him politely to go die somewhere else or that he could be useful as a human shield. When it comes to enemies, he shows no mercy and will not back down no matter the odds. This was best seen when confronting a heavily enhanced Dark Might with him still pushing through the battle. He has a very black view of Heroes and Villains, unlike everyone else, believing them to be nothing but hypocrites of their purpose because despite their intentions, he doesn't think they'll care enough for even the most fragile of people like Anna, even calling out Izuku to be a hypocritical brat who selfishly believes in his notion of becoming a Hero.
Despite his cold attitude, Giulio has a kind and warm heart that opens up from time to time. Such as when telling Izuku that by tagging along with his team to confront Dark Might, he could see him smile or when he assured Anna that she shouldn't label him as dead just yet. After finally saving Anna and freeing her from the pain of her Quirk, Giulio announced that he had fulfilled his contract and was no longer needed, yet despite that, was happy when Anna said she still wanted him around and agreed to stay with her.
Abilities[]
Overall Abilities: Giulio is a formidable opponent to whom he ever comes into combat with, having been trained in the military before becoming a butler for the Scervino Family. He is an exceptionally talented and dangerous combatant who was not only capable of contending with some Heroes and Villains in close-quarters combat, but can nullify Quirks using his own. Even without the usage of his Quirk after being injured and replaced with prosthetics, Giulio is adaptive and modifies some of his prosthetics into makeshift weapons, such as a prosthetic arm that turns into a gun, and relies on his proficiency in hand-to-hand combat to deal with threats. His overall abilities would have made him a pivotal combatant against opponents who are Quirk-reliant, if not for his injuries and the prosthetics that renders his own Quirk nearly inoperable.
Despite that, he can also utilize his prosthetics and engage in guerilla tactics to beat his opponents, such as Deborah Gollini, which was not affected by her Quirk to hypnotize her victims into a comatose dream state, allowing his robotic eye to counter-attack.
Marksmanship: Despite having to wear an eye patch, Giulio is incredibly skilled with his various firearms, including his prosthetic arm-gun.
Skilled Driver: Giulio has shown to be extremely proficient in driving his motorcycle. He is able to effortlessly maneuver along all types of terrain, be it the ruined cities of Japan or through the numerous artificial environments created by Dark Might's Alchemy. Giulio is also capable of fighting while riding on top of his motorcycle and can effortlessly exercise his gunplay while attacking and defending from his opponents at increased speeds.

Equipment[]
- Robotic Eye: Giulio's right eye is able to scan and identify targets. It is also capable of interacting with his other prosthetics and is able to activate them if Giulio is unable to manually.
- Prosthetic Arm and Leg: Giulio's right arm is able to transform into a handgun with a reloadable magazine, his primary method of combat. Below his wrist also contains a grappling hook. Giulio's prosthetic leg seems to contain a "jet booster" type of mechanic installed within its sole. Due to the fact this device only activated while he was comatose, it's unknown how he typically uses it.
- Revolver: Giulio also wielded a snub-nosed revolver handgun that he loaded with non-lethal stun bullets.
- Motorcycle and Gun Attachments: Giulio's armored motorcycle is his primary method of transportation and is frequently seen fighting while riding it. He's also capable of controlling it remotely, allowing it to do things such as stand itself upright, shed its armor, and drive unmanned in case he's separated from it. The trunk also has room for him to mount a sniper rifle on top of it.
