Astolfo Weapons and Abilities

## Overview

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.

## Power

While Astolfo gets beaten up by other characters often (Such as Master Chief, Spider-Man, Indiana Jones, and even Darth Vader), he tends to get right back up, and on occasion he will immediately retaliate. Astolfo is so tough that he once took a punch from Indiana Jones that was so powerful, it knocked off Astolfo's clothes and forced his hair dye to spill all over Master Chief.

Master Chief recognizes Astolfo's abilities, describing him as having "Anime Protagonist Strength" and that one of his fellow armed Pizza Police Officers wouldn't last a second against him (Despite him wearing Spartan Armor and using similar weaponry to Master Chief). Master Chief likely isn't exaggerating, as Astolfo has repeatedly dodged Master Chief's gun fire, and even overpowered him up close on several occasions (including forcing him to dress like a femboy).

Master Chief would even as far as to suggest that Hippo activate the rings (Superweapons that send out a highly radioactive beam that destroys all sentient life with a nervous system within a 150,000 light year radius when used all at once.) as a last resort. Even if this was overkill, the fact that Master Chief wanted to activate the "rings" (plural) meant he likely wanted to activate all of them at once opposed to just one to assure Astolfo's defeat further proves his view on Astolfo's strength.

Astolfo was even strong enough to briefly fight against Darth Vader at Starbucks, with their clash literally blowing up the establishment and destroying it in the process. Darth Vader was left on the floor missing a hand while Astolfo hadn't suffered any damage at all. It is unknown what the result of this fight would have been due to the Anime Police breaking up the fight and placing both under house arrest.

    While Astolfo is is often armed with a weapon, he is shown to still be formidable with out one. In"Anime girls vs Pizza Hut", he caught Master Chief off guard and quickly wrapped his legs around Chief's head before he flung him across the room, knocking over two other Pizza Police members in the process.

It's possible that Batman recognized Astolfo's fighting prowess, which is why he recruited him as Robin # 7. Though it's also likely that Batman merely recruited him for being a femboy (as Astolfo noticed that Batman would DM effeminate men and beg them to fight crime with him).

It should be noted that Astolfo has gotten even stronger since, as everything listed above occurred before the events of "I sell my soul at a Planet Fitness" where trains off screen over the course of a few months and comes back even stronger.

## Weapon Summoning

    Astolfo can summon weapons into his hand seemingly out of nowhere. Astolfo is mostly seen with a sword, but he can also summon a lance known as the "Trap of Argalia". It is unknown if he can summon any of his other weapons he's used in the Fate franchise, such as the Casseur de Logistille, though it's very possible that he could if he wanted to.

It should be noted that this version of Astolfo does have the "La Black Luna", as it could be seen on the table behind Hippo in "Master Chief gets Robbed at his Sleepover". However, he has yet to use it on screen.

Astolfo has also been seen pulling out firearms out of seemingly nowhere, such as an Assault Rifle (Which he pulled out in "Every time I go to Chipotle This Happens").

### Equipment

Astolfo's primary weapon is a slender sword. Though if he feels that isn't enough, he can also bring fourth the "Trap of Argalia", which is an ornate golden lance that once belonged to Argalia (a knight and prince) which Astolfo borrowed (stole). It has has special abilities in canon, but it's unknown if they apply to anyone in the Hippo Saga. Despite this, the Trap is Argalia is still a powerful weapon as it was able to clash with Darth Vader's lightsaber with out being damaged.

Astolfo also had access to Master Chief's huge stockpile of unregistered weapons, which he was ready to use to defend himself from an angry Master Chief after he painted his armor pink, but he'd end up selling them all to buy in-game currency for a mobile game called 'Waifu Clicker: The game". Despite this, he appears to still have his assault rifle and a Glock (As he's seen with both in "Don't trust the Mailman"). It's unknown how efficient Astolfo is with firearms, but he seems more than willing to use them if he has to.

Astolfo also has a spray bottle filled with ammonia (which he used to punish Jiko for comfiting multiple felonies) which while used as a cleaning solution, can irritate and burn the skin, mouth, throat, lungs, and eyes or a target.

While not a weapon, Astolfo does carry around a can of "Monster energy drink" which he can use as a unit of measurement (as he declares anything as big or bigger than the Monster can to be 'monster sized'). It's also possible Astolfo can drink its contents if he needs a boost of energy for what ever reason.

### Clothing

In "Master Chief Becomes a Femboy (The Anime), Astolfo takes off his clothes and put them on Master Chief in an attempt to get him a job at Femboy Hooters. Master Chief ended up transforming into a Femboy version of himself with a different body shape than usual and instead one similar to Astolfo's. Master Chief seems to return to normal in the following episode, and has not warn them since.

It is later confirmed by Knock Off Indiana Jones that Astolfo's clothes do indeed have the power to feminize any man who wears them (including anyone Astolfo shoves into them himself, like with Master Chief) and transform them into a femboy. It is said that if the wrong people got ahold of this power, they could turn an entire nation’s fighting force into cute femboys (which is why Astolfo's dirty clothes are purchased by the Shadow Government).

Astolfo claims his clothes don't affect him, though this is likely because Astolfo was always a femboy to begin with (They also seem to affect females, as shown Jiko when Astolfo let him borrow one of his school girl uniforms). It's likely that Astolfo himself is the source of his clothing having this effect on men who put them on as a result of his own essence rubbing off on his own clothing (though this is just a theory/speculation).

## Other forms

### Bean Plush form

    Astolfo can transform into his Bean Plush form. While in this state, Astolfo gets a noticeable increase in speed and mobility, making this form ideal for evasion and escaping. While in this form, Astolfo easily dodged Master Chief's rapid gun fire from his MA5B assault rifle while simultaneously closing he gap between them.

Master Chief can command Astolfo to transform into this form by saying "Activate Escape Mode" so he can use Astolfo as a mount for quick get away.

Despite his stubby little plush limbs which are devoid of fingers, Astolfo is still able to grab and hold things. He was able to grab and throw one of Master Chief's Plasma Grenades before it went off in his face, and he's able to hold his sword in this form. He was also able to force Master Chief into his clothes while in this form; likely becoming a Bean Plush prior so Master Chief wouldn't be able to escape.

Being a Bean Plush, Astolfo's body becomes very soft and occasionally makes a squeaking noise one would expect from a toy. His body can also bounce off things that hit it, as shown when Master Chief was sent flying into him (after being punched by the DOOM Slayer) only to bounce off Astolfo's plush body and hit the floor (opposed to Astolfo acting as a cushion to stop him).

### Chibi Form

Being an anime character, Astolfo will often spontaneously transform into a shorter super deformed big headed version of himself for comedic effect He often does this when he's frightened, sad, wants to make himself look even cuter, or simply when it would be humorous to do so.

### 2D Form

During the events of "Master Chief Becomes a Femboy (The Anime)", Astolfo briefly transforms into a paper-cut out version of himself while talking with Master Chief. He was likely doing this to imitate Felix Argyle, who is one of the few characters who is a paper cut out opposed to a figurine of any kind.

### Muscle Form

Astolfo gets even stronger during the events of "I sell my soul at a Planet Fitness", acquiring a large muscular form after training for months so he could further humiliate Yellow Jacket (and save him from the Planet Fitness Cult Leader, who he knocked out with a single sucker punch). However, his body returns to it's original slender feminine frame in subsequent episodes. It is unknown if he can take this form again or if he kept the strength increase from his training regardless.

## Other Abilities

### Cute Charm

    Astolfo tends to use his cute charm to trick, distract, or manipulate people (Such as when he used his cute charm to distract Tahu long enough to call the police. He was able to disguise himself as a goth girl at IHOP and trick both Tahu and Hippo with neither of them being the wiser. However, this can sometimes backfire, as seen with Tahu's unwanted advances. Astolfo seems to use his chibi form can enhance his cute charm, though that doesn't always work (especially with Master Chief).

### Flash Bang

    Astolfo also has the power to "Flash Bang" people by ripping off his skirt and flashing them, creating the effect of a Lens Flare Censor around his nether regions. This results in a massive bright light that blinds those who are too close (unless they happen to have sun glasses).
