i see people call yuta a fraud & all of that bc his curse energy is from rika. just bc his power comes from elsewhere doesnt mean hes not strong by himself. if we look at yuji alot of his strength is from sukuna, im well aware that he is strong by himself but he grew up unable to see curses meaning that yuji got his curse energy from sukuna.

yuji being strong before sukuna allowed him to get even stronger after getting the other stuff from sukuna once he kearned to utalize it. with yuta he was weak before rika & grew stronger with the right motivation. we know that yuta is strong without using rikas manifestation, look at his fight with that fuckass roach where he doesnt summon rika, before though he just couldnt control his power.

i also think calling him a fraud discredits all of the work he put into becoming a sorcerer. despite being a special grade when he first started he was quite weak & it was rika who got him to that grade. he has had rikas cursed energy for years but he didnt have the right resources or knowledge on how to use it. he put in all the work to be less reliant on rika & would rival that of gojos strength. he wouldnt have gotten that title if he hadnt learned how to utilize rikas cursed energy.

i know the cursed energy from rika is what got him to where he is but he still is incredibly strong without rika bc he put in all the work. he would still likely be a strong sorcerer without rika.

bringing up yuji yet again he was strong before sukuna while yuta became strong after rika. that shouldnt deminish how strong yuta is due to all of his efforts.

also he manged to create a domaine within a year, that's a huge feat that he did (yes with ruka cursed energy, but he still put in the work).

if you take away pretty much any sorcerers cursed energy, theyre gonna be weak (minus maki & toji ofc). we see the most growth in strenght when they learn how to use their cursed energy. excluding yuta from this & not acknowledging the work he put in feels so hypocritical.

tachi was only 5 when his brother died so its only natural to blame the person who drove him to his death. obviously yosano is not to blame for shunzens, or any of the other soldiers, deteriorating meantal health. but tachi was so young that he couldnt possibly understand the complexities of suicide or war.

yosano is known as the angle of death & i have no doubt tachi heard that. its only natural that he would blame the angle of death as he couldnt understand exactly why his brother died. yet again he was 5 & couldnt possibly understand suicide

i also have no doubt that tachis family also blamed yosano & that trickled down & affirmes tachis belief.

greiving & accepting shunzens death also would have been extremely hard as he was so young & didnt have any form of support. in fact his only form of support was gone & he had to cope with that alone. i dont think tachi was treated well by his family before shunzens death & its known how horribly he was treated after. so with all of these negative emotions brewing he would need a place to put them & putting them all on yosano.

despite revenge for shunzen being one of his main motivations, when given a clear opertunity to achieve this he doesnt take it.

yosano doesnt fight tachi at all or even try to escape, this wouldve been a clear shot to get his revenge. he doesnt take it though.

i think this is becuase tachi has grown & is actually able to understand why shunzen died. i also have no doubt that with all the blame he didnt really see yosano, the angle of death, as an actual person. seeing her in front of him probably allowed him to see that she is in fact a person who also suffered during the war.

so yeah theres my rant on tachihara, i love this guy & nothing can make me hate him. if you have anyother comments on him or even disagree with some point lmk, im always happy to hear more !
