If I just passed this by, I don't think I'd be able to sleep.
Sylestin: I thought the plan was to merge her with a Hollow or something, but seeing Tatsuki follow the protagonist or even show affection (without any experiments, just being pushed around) feels unnatural and hard to accept. This seems no different from a generic mass-produced novel where girls just flock to the OP protagonist for no reason to form a harem. Normally, shouldn't she be gritting her teeth and trying to kill him...?
That is definitely a valid point...... Since it makes sense, I don't really have a solid answer for you. To put it simply, I just threw Tatsuki in as a character, so the honest answer is that I didn't think about it too deeply. Still, I thought it'd be good to give some sort of response, so here are a few light hypotheses...
1st: Maybe Tatsuki is attracted to 'bad boys' rather than gentle ones... In other words, charm. Like how the protagonist of some mass-produced novel has a certain magnetism. Ah, even as I'm writing this, it sounds weird.
2nd: This would be the protagonist manipulating Tatsuki's soul—specifically, her memories or her heart. As you know, the protagonist’s Aspect of Death contains various forms of death; among them, there must be a 'Death by Love.' It wouldn't make sense for it not to exist. This would be a manipulation utilizing that. After Tatsuki died and became a spirit, what if the protagonist manipulated her soul? This is what I thought of after reading your comment. But then the Zanpakuto spirit inside her becomes an issue, so... hmmm.......................... It's the most plausible one, though.
3rd: This is a setting where the target of her resentment shifted. Simply put, when he first kidnapped her, killed her, and told her to become a Soul Reaper, didn't he bring up Ichigo? So, Tatsuki's resentment is directed at Ichigo................ This one feels forced.
Even to me, Tatsuki is full of bugs. Just bear with it; I wrote this based on whatever popped into my head during my part-time job, so this happened because I didn't think too deeply. Or should I edit the content now? Make her harbor pure malice so that Aizen gets wrecked? It'd be a bit of a shame, but if you want, I can do a quick revision. Or go with the original plan of merging her with a Hollow?
And so, I'll take a poll for a day and decide. What should I do with Tatsuki?
Moreover, whenever I see such critical comments, I always feel a momentary emptiness and wonder if there's a solution. But this time, I'm not confident. I'd appreciate it if you could just consider it 'Protagonist Correction.' Thx.
PS: Tatsuki's Fracción name: The one 'Knights of Freedom' wrote, Yeriel (it's Hebrew, meaning 'Found by God'), seems good. Of course, if I go into revisions, this name will be useless, but just putting it out there.
