#tachihara

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 !
