## Overview

Astolfo is a character from the light novel and anime series Fate/Apocrypha. Astolfo first appeared in *Every Time I go to Chipotle This Happens* and has appeared in every episode since. He has appeared multiple times throughout the series as a cashier or waiter at various restaurants and later becomes Master Chief's boyfriend.

He usually dresses in pink and pastel colors but sometimes appears in his original character outfit and also dresses like Robin in episodes where he is Batman's crime-fighting partner.

He has a tendency to say "Hello!" at the start of videos (to the point where it becomes a series in joke), be it for work or just casually greeting his friends.

To date, Astolfo has had more jobs than any other character from the main cast.

Astolfo is voiced by VA LovelyWeirdJynn

## Personality

Astolfo is very playful and flirtatious, frequently making sexual innuendos and dirty jokes in his interactions throughout the series. He has been shown to take great pleasure in using his feminine appearance to get attention from men and then shock them by revealing his true gender, although this has been show to backfire such as in *You Buy a Goth GF at IHOP* and *You get Dominated at Subway*, both of which ended with the victim of Astolfo's trick, Tahu, revealing that he was into it.

Despite his feminine nature and cute mannerisms, Astolfo won't hesitate to fight back when he's angered or challenged, as he's had no problem throwing down with Master Chief (or even Darth Vader). But in general, Astolfo is very forgiving towards others and is willing to protect his friends (as he defended Jiko from Master Chief opposed to just handing her over) and genuinely cares for them.

Astolfo also enjoys having fun at the expense of his friends sometimes, albeit usually by way of playful teasing. While easy going, Astolfo has also shown to be paranoid of the mailman, believing that the mailman (who turned out to be a girl) was out to get him. Astolfo also believes in conspiracy theories, as he's stated on two occasions that the government puts enough estrogen in a single glass of tap water to give anyone (man or woman) large breasts.

While Astolfo has many jobs and seemingly makes more money than the rest of the cast, he seems to be an impulsive spender (and bad with numbers) as he tends to buy luxury items such as airpods pros and 22-inch gold plated rims for his car, which often leaves him without much money left. He'd even go as far as to sell all of his and Master Chief's stuff just to spend all that money on in-game currency in a mobile Gacha Game in hopes of unlocking a desired character.

As the Hippo Saga went on, Astolfo has shown loyalty and commitment to what ever job he has going as far as put his jobs before his friends. When he worked at Taco Bell, he became employee of the month in his short time working there and refused to give his friends free food as to not risk compromising his position. He'd show the same etiquette when he worked at a movie theatre; refusing to let them sneak in food and even banning Turskit when he accused her of doing such. He'd later tackle her and put her in an arm lock when she'd sneak back in.

A noticeable weakness of Astolfo is how bad he is with numbers and statistics. Examples include "Master Chief gets Robbed at his Sleepover" (Where Astolfo estimates that if he spends another 20 bucks, he'll unlock a 4 star character with a -1 drop rate) and "Picking Up Hotties While you Uber" (Where Astolfo encourages Jiko to flirt with two bank robbers, stating that since they will say either yes or no it's a "50/50 shot", and since there were two of them, that's a "Solid 100".)

## History

Astolfo first appears working the cash register at Chipotle in *Every Time I go to Chipotle This Happens* in which he takes an order from Tahu. In the following video, Astolfo now works at McDonalds where he yet again has to put up with Tahu who attempts to rob the place, forcing Astolfo to call the police. Afterwards, Astolfo ends up working at Starbucks, in which he takes an order from Darth Vader which escalates into a fight that destroys the entire coffee shop.

In the episode You are forced to Play Monopoly [ASMR], it is revealed he lives with Hippo, Anime Guy, and Tahu (or in the very least he moved in with him since the last time we saw him prior). In the following episode Master Chief gets Bullied Over his Waifu, it's revealed that Master Chief also lives with them, and that he and Astolfo have had relations and are even boyfriends. Astolfo would go on to sell all of Master Chief's stuff (including his unregistered weapons) in Master Chief gets Robbed at his Sleepover, prompting Master Chief to turn to a life of crime working alongside Walter White for money.

In Simping Bad, Astolfo ends up dying and changing her hair to a short black hair style because his cuteness was 'causing him an identity crisis'. Astolfo would keep this short black hair style until the events of You Buy a Goth GF at IHOP.

Astolfo would also go on to become Batman's new Robin (Being the 7th Robin, as all the previous Robin's were now deceased) and even get his own Robin costume (Albeit without pants). After bad crypto investments, Batman would lose all his money and have to move in with Astolfo, though the two wouldn't do much crime fighting as Batman spent most of working from home fighting "online crime" on his bat computer.

Master Chief and Astolfo would continue to have an implied relationship up until the events of You Buy a Catgirl GF off Amazon where Master Chief orders a cat girl girlfriend off of Amazon named Jiko to replace Astolfo. This seems dent in their relationship, as Master Chief disappears for the next few videos and doesn't return until "Anime Girls vs Pizza Hut", where it's implied they've since broken up (and that Master Chief burnt down Astolfo's house), though they continue hanging out in subsequent videos (even if they have a bit of a rivalry).

Astolfo would then end up befriending Jiko and helping her when she was having relationship problems, like signing her up on a dating site, teaching Jiko how to attract guys, and helping Jiko pick up hotties while Ubering. The two of them would end up picking up two bank robbers before getting stopped by a traffic cop named Sturdy, prompting Jiko to flirt with him so Astolfo wouldn't have to pay for a traffic ticket. This results in Jiko and Sturdy getting married, though unfortunately this wouldn't last very long and Astolfo would try to take a lonely Jiko under his wing yet again.

During the events of "Indiana Jones raided my panty drawer", Astolfo was revealed to have white hair, as his hair dye was knocked out of his hair during a scuffle with Indiana Jones. Astolfo would retain his white hair in the following episode while wearing Turskit's borrowed goth girl clothes in the following episode. As of Guys I Lost the Fight at Waffle House :(, Astolfo's appearance is back to normal.

## Weapons and Abilities

Despite Astolfo's feminine appearance (and how he tends to get beaten up by the other characters), he could possibly be the most powerful character within the Hippo saga thus far. It is unknown if he has all of the same abilities and weapons as his canon counterpart, as he has many weapons, skills, and abilities unique to his portrayal in the Hippo Saga.

He is said by Master Chief to have "Anime Protagonist Strength", and informed his fellow Pizza Police officer (Who was also wearing Spartan Armor and has the same weapons as Chief) that he "wouldn't last a second" against him. Astolfo has shown he can defeat Master Chief, and he's even clashed with Darth Vader which resulted in the destruction of a Star Bucks.

He's shown a variety of abilities, such as power to summon weapons, transform into a Bean plush for increased mobility, transform other men into femboys with his clothes, and flash his privates to create a blinding light to blind others.

## Relationships

### Master Chief

We first see Astolfo and Master Chief interact in Master Chief gets Bullied Over his Waifu where their exchange heavily implies that the two of them are in a relationship (or at least are having relations) with Astolfo teasing Master Chief about what they had done together the previous night, which Master Chief denies. Master Chief plays the straight man to Astolfo's silly antics and is often the target of Astolfo's non-stop teasing and flirting.

While Master Chief and Astolfo were indeed a couple, Master Chief constantly denied it. This is likely because Master Chief can't accept that Astolfo is male yet he's still attracted to him (as Master Chief is implied to prefer women, though Astolfo is the exception as Master Chief has never shown attraction to other males). The only time he doesn't deny Astolfo being his boyfriend is in Simping Bad, but he continues to insist that he's "100% straight" (As Master Chief wants to protect his macho image).

Astolfo is always teasing Master Chief and even antagonizing him, which has led to Master Chief reacting violently and getting easily annoyed with his antics (Such as saying that DOOM has a better soundtrack than Halo or painting his armor Pink to get him a job at Femboy Hooters) . Master Chief often reacts violently to this by roughing up Astolfo and or even attempting to shoot him, but Astolfo is more than strong enough to turn the tables. Master Chief acknowledges Astolfo's strength and never underestimates him, which might explain why he never holds back against him.

Astolfo often tries to act cute and affectionate to try to manipulate Master Chief, but most of the time it doesn't work (At least not in public). Despite how much they get under each other's skin, the two of them do seem to enjoy hanging out with each other and care about one another to the point where Master Chief allows Astolfo to sleep in the same bed with him.

But this didn't stop Master Chief from attempting to sell Astolfo to GameStop for store credit, or even attempting to replace Astolfo with a new cat girl girlfriend. This eventually results in Astolfo and Master Chief splitting up with Master Chief moving out. While Astolfo is willing to allow Master Chief to move back in with him again, Master Chief denies the offer. It is revealed in "How to get a goth GF w/ a Dump Truck on Tinder" that Master Chief went as far as to burn down Astolfo's home after his humiliating defeat in the previous video "Anime Girls VS Pizza Hut".

Despite this, Astolfo forgives him and believes it was a "misguided romantic gesture".

The fact that Master Chief offered Astolfo to "pretend to date him again" shows he still likes Astolfo, but still denies his true feelings. The two continue to hang out as friends regardless, even if their relationship hasn't changed much.

### Jiko

While Astolfo did attempt to stab Jiko while she was still inside her delivery box (as he feared Jiko replacing him as Master Chief's "Girlfriend") the two of them would get to know each other (as both of them were recruited by Batman) and become friends. Though Jiko does find Astolfo's constant innuendos to be annoying and acts defiant, ultimately she often ends up going through with what Astolfo suggests. Astolfo is not afraid to give Jiko blunt honest truths, even if they seem rude and harsh, but the two get along well none-the-less.

Astolfo cares for Jiko like a daughter, as he tried to keep her from committing a felony with Spider-Man, made sure she dressed warm, and warned her not to drink the tap water. She even grounds Jiko for blowing up Anime Guy's house with TNT. Astolfo would go as far as to physically defend Jiko from Master Chief, who was trying to arrest Jiko for crimes against Pizza Hut.

When things wouldn't work out between Jiko and Anime Guy, Astolfo would try to comfort her while she was crying and try to help her set up a dating profile, and tries his best to encourage her to find a romantic partner. Later, Astolfo would take Jiko out during his UBERing job and try to help Jiko flirt with those they encountered. This ended up with Jiko succeeding too well and marrying Sturdy. But when Jiko's negative behavior led to her and Sturdy splitting up, Astolfo was determined to get them back together and teach Jiko how to make her personality "tolerable". Unfortunately, Sturdy didn't wish to get together with Jiko.

### Hippo

Astolfo lives with Hippo in his house (which was originally owned by the Unnamed Roommate) and pays him rent. Astolfo is one of the few that Hippo seems to more or less respect (Likely because Astolfo is one of the few who's financially stable and has never had a problem paying rent). Hippo doesn't make fun of Astolfo like he does with with the rest of the cast, and instead often compliments. Hippo has acknowledged Astolfo's attractiveness (even calling him "Hot" in "You are forced to Play Monopoly [ASMR]") and referring to Astolfo as an 'S-tier Waifu' in "Master Chief gets Bullied Over his Waifu".

Astolfo playfully refers to Hippo as his "little Hippogriff" in "Spider-Man Swings into Debt", which is likely a reference to Astolfo's summon from *Fate/Apocrypha.* He also occasionally holds him in his arms and carries him around.

### Tahu

The first interaction we see between Astolfo and Tahu was during "Everything I go to Chipotle This happens", where he acts somewhat antagonistic towards him, and for Tahu to retaliate with aggression. When Tahu got angry and busted up a table and revealed he didn't have money to pay for it, Astolfo pulled out a gun and forced him to leave.

In general, Astolfo enjoys pranking and teasing Tahu, and is often the one getting under his skin when he's working at a food joint. However, sometimes this backfires, as Tahu will sometimes unironically be into Astolfo's offers. Examples include the time Astolfo pretended to be a goth girl at a "Goth Ihop", only to reveal he was a femboy the whole time, but Tahu was still into it (even chasing Astolfo out of the establishment to presumably 'scramble his bussy'). Another example was when Astolfo teased Tahu about dominating him at Subway, but it turned out that's what Tahu wanted the entire time.

Tahu is clearly interested in Astolfo, as during the events of "How to get a goth GF w/ a Dump Truck on Tinder", he suggested that he, Astolfo, and Jiko have a three way. However, Astolfo is always rejecting his advances. Despite all of this (and Tahu's over all bad attitude) Tahu does at least care for Astolfo to a degree, as after Master Chief burnt down Astolfo's home, Tahu allowed him (as well as Jiko and Hippo) to move in with him for awhile at his place.

### Batman

Astolfo was recruited by Batman to become his 7th Robin, as seen in "Batman Becomes a Discord Mod". Whether he was recruited because of his fighting prowess, the fact that he's a femboy, or both is unknown. Batman purposely chose a Robin costume that exposes his bare legs (and has a short skirt) for Astolfo, with the reasoning being that if he (Batman) can grow up without parents, then Astolfo can grow up without pants.

While Astolfo did initially only start working with Batman in exchange for $50, he continued to work with him even when it was revealed that Batman couldn't pay him (due to his current financial situation). This could indicate that Astolfo genuinely cares about Batman, as Astolfo seems to show affection to him, going as far as to make him 'friendship chocolates filled with his love'. Given Batman's nature, he doesn't reciprocate the affection, but he still trusts Astolfo enough to let him in on his secret identity as Bruce Wayne.

Astolfo acts as both the voice of reason and the angel on Batman's shoulder, who in turn is obsessed with online crime. His sunny cutesy personality contrasts Batman's abrasive, more hot headed and paranoid personality.

### Yellow Jacket

Astolfo first meets Yellow Jacket during the events of Why is my Homeschool Teacher so Cute, in which Yellow Jacket works as a delivery boy in which he comments on Astolfo's cute appearance. The second time they're seen in the same place is in "I accidentally entered a Burger King" in which Astolfo plays in the ball pit of the Burger King that Yellow Jacket happens to work at (before accidentally blowing the place up).

The two don't properly interact until a flashback scene in I sell my soul at a Planet Fitness in which Astolfo easily defeats him in an arm wrestling match, prompting Yellow Jacket to start training for a rematch. However, things take a turn as Astolfo is the one who ends up getting stronger instead. While Astolfo does have fun at Yellow Jacket's expense, he does care about him enough to save him from getting shot by the Planet Fitness Cult Leader.

Astolfo seems to enjoy teasing Yellow Jacket, such as teasing him to 'take it off' at Turskit's Slumber Party. He also seems to like asserting dominance over Yellow Jacket; doing as far as to down right intimidate him and hold him up by him up by the neck and tossing him onto the ground when he accused him of sneaking in food to the movies.

### Turskit

Turskit and Astolfo first met during the events of How to get a goth GF w/ a Dump Truck on Tinder, and have since become friends. Turskit is first seen hanging out with Astolfo and the rest of the main cast in Indiana Jones raided my panty drawer. Turskit is always willing to help out Astolfo, whether it's helping Astolfo get his clothes back from Indiana Jones, allowing Astolfo to borrow her own clothes when needed, or being willing to crush Master Chief's head between her thighs on Astolfo's command.

In the following episode Don't Trust the Mailman, she'd believe Astolfo's paranoia of the mailman and even help Astolfo capture and interrogate her. She'd go on to invite Astolfo to her "All Girl's Slumber Party" in Guys I Lost the Fight at Waffle House :(, which means she likely see's Astolfo as "one of the girls". That said, Astolfo doesn't let their friendship come in the way of his jobs, such as refusing to give her free food at Taco Bell or banning her from the movie theatre when she thought she had snuck in food.

## Trivia

* Next to Hippo (who has appeared in all episodes of the Hippo saga in some way, shape, or form), Astolfo has the second most appearances in the Hippo Saga (appearing in all but the first 4 videos). Unlike Hippo, Astolfo has a speaking role in all of his appearances (As Hippo had no lines in Batman gets Doxed on Twitter)
* The Pantsahat videos have referenced two Astolfo memes as running gags; The first being the Astolfo Bean plush (Which got famous thanks to the "Haunted Astolfo bean plushie that sucks your d--- and calls you gay" meme) and the other being Astolfo bringing up Monster Energy Drink in reference to the "Astolfo Monster C---" meme. (Which originated from an Astolfo cosplayer on Twitter posting photos of themselves holding a can of Monster Energy near their privates for scale which exploded in popularity.)
* The music that plays when Astolfo transforms into a Bean Plush in "Master Chief gets Bullied Over his Waifu" and in "Master Chief gets Annoyed at GameStop" is the ending theme song from "Super Mario World".
* There was an official Pantsahat plush toy of Hippo wearing Astolfo's sailor school girl uniform and modeled in the style of a bean plush available for a limited time, which was crowd funded on Makeship back in 2021. The plush is currently sold out and unlikely to be restocked.
* Astolfo has changed hair color twice, and both times these hairstyle changes lasted only 2 episodes. Astolfo has short black hair during the events of "Simping Bad" and "You Buy a Goth GF at IHOP". Astolfo would have long white hair (his true hair color) during the events of "Indiana Jones raided my panty drawer" and "Don't Trust the Mailman".
* Coincidentally, both hair changes went along Goth Girl attire in the episodes following heir debuts; Astolfo disguises himself as a goth girl while sporting black hair, and would wear Turskit's goth clothes (due to his own clothes being taken by Indana Jones) while sporting white hair.
* Astolfo held a T-Pose to assert Dominance on two occasions, once when teasing Master Chief in "Master Chief gets Bullied Over his Waifu" (Link) and again when teasing Tahu in 'You get Dominated at Subway" (Link)
* Astolfo is very promiscuous and has had many partners. Hippo describes Astolfo's 'body count' as "lookin' like a war memorial' in "Why is my Home School Teacher so Cute".
* In Fate/Apocrypha, Astolfo has the class name of "Rider of "Black" with his main talent being that of mounting almost any kind of beast for battle. Ironically, Astolfo himself is used as a mount by Master Chief in "Master Chief gets annoyed at GameStop".
