Description
Mario and Julio Renato are twin brothers from Argentina who participate in the Gunpla Battle World Tournament as the official representatives of their country. Mario is the older twin and takes charge of Gunpla construction and battle strategy, while Julio, the younger twin, handles the piloting of their Gunpla during matches. The brothers can be distinguished by their hairstyles: Mario’s hair parts on the left, and Julio’s parts on the right.
In terms of personality, Mario is the more composed and methodical of the two. He is known to scold Julio when the younger brother becomes impatient, and he possesses strong skills as a fighter in his own right, being considered superior to Julio in overall ability. Julio, by contrast, is more impulsive and direct, relying on his piloting instincts during battles. Their motivations center on achieving victory in the world tournament and proving the strength of their Gunpla-building and piloting abilities.
Within the story, the Renato brothers serve as skilled opponents for the main protagonists. They first appear in the Argentinian national qualifiers, where they use a custom Gunpla based on the Jim Cannon to secure their place in the world tournament. Their primary Gunpla throughout the series is the RGM-79K9 GM Sniper K9, a custom mobile suit built jointly by both brothers and primarily piloted by Julio. The GM Sniper K9 is tailored to their strategic and combat style, reflecting Mario’s emphasis on long-range precision and Julio’s aggressive piloting.
Key relationships are centered on their brotherhood. Mario and Julio work as a tightly coordinated team, with Mario providing the technical and tactical foundation and Julio executing the plan in battle. Their partnership is effective due to their complementary skills and the trust they share. They also have a younger brother named Serio, who is eight years younger and shares their passion for Gunpla battles, though Serio is not directly involved in the world tournament.
Development for the twins is limited but noticeable: early in the tournament, Mario’s measured guidance helps control Julio’s impulsiveness, and they learn to adapt their strategy against increasingly powerful foes. Their notable abilities include Mario’s expertise in Gunpla engineering and pre-battle analysis, and Julio’s capable piloting, especially with the GM Sniper K9’s sniper weaponry and mobility. In later appearances, such as in Gundam Build Fighters: Battlogue, Mario pilots a different custom mobile suit, the Striker GN-X, indicating his own piloting proficiency when needed.
