User:David A/Tatewaki Characterisation Reference

Tatewaki:

1.4: Can’t spell properly. Detests Nabiki.

3.11: Admired by his sister’s schoolmates, while the boys in his class comment that ignorance is bliss.

5.4: Not the least bit scared from having a tiger put in his lap. Shows initiative by ‘playing fetch’ with Ranma in Cat Fist mode.

8.5: Threatens actors to gain the main lead in a play.

8.7: Renders onna-Ranma drunk and attempts to give her a kiss when fallen asleep. Tries to kiss Akane instead. Kissed by female Ranma through sticking tape on his mouth, but takes it as a love declaration.

8.8: Attempts to kiss an unconscious Akane.

9.2: Happy that Kodachi and Ranma ‘Will get the happiness they deserve together’ while imagining them as poverty-stricken, alcoholic and loaded with screaming children.

9.3: Offered a bath with the ‘pigtailed girl’, and at once very enthusiastic and worried about a blemished ideal.

11.7: Considered stupid by his classmates. Attempts to get rid of a cold by giving it to Ranma.

12.3: Initially won’t acknowledge the principal as his father ‘since he had far lighter skin’ (he’s been to Hawai for 3 years). Despises and attacks him anyway, since he’s mad about being tormented and having his hair forcibly shaved when growing up.

12.4: Enthusiastic and grabs Ranma-chan when he thinks she wants to make love with him. Considered a freak by his classmates.

13.1: Insulted when it seems Ranma won’t fight him for real. Surprised and overjoyed when he pulls off a victory.

13.2: Thinks Ranma is lying about losing his strength.

13.10: Wants the lingerie photos of the pigtailed girl.

13.11: Buried alive together with Happosai, Kocho & Mousse, when found unconscious by Ranma’s classmates, at the chance of getting rid of them.

15.1: Sends Akane & Ranma-chan a bust of himself, ‘to keep them from feeling lonely while he’s away’. Consider modern warriors weakling compared to ancient champions of legend. Doesn’t know what to do with 3 wishes, since he’s already ‘gorgeous’, ‘brilliant’ and rich. Considered crazy by everyone around him. He’s proud over being chosen on account of being the 1 millionth sword puller. Considers to use the sword to wish for world domination, but chooses a date with the pigtailed girl instead. Considered an idiot by his classmates.

15.2: Takes Ranma-chan on date at 4 o’clock in the morning. Prays to the rising sun at the sea. Tells her that she shouldn’t be so forward and exchange diaries first. Overcome by a sleeping Ranma-chan and tries to kiss and make out with her.

15.3: Too headstrong to be easily manipulated by Ranma-chan. Touched at the opportunity to kiss her, but offers Akane the same opportunity afterwards. Wishes for a small statue to commemorate the date.

19.1: Goes through intense training to split watermelons to impress the pigtailed girl. Immediately falls in love with Akane after loosing his memory, but has non-existent recollections of Ranma-chan. Feels very confused, but quickly gets over it and latches on to Ranma-chan.

19.2: Shows potential to become a greater fighter than Ranma when applying his watermelon splitting technique. Suddenly popular with impressed girls. (Correctly) Assumes that’s the reason for his training. Tries to force Ranma-chan into dating him through attacking her.

19.3: Revels in his superior power and being away from anyone who can hear her Ranma-chan scream. Tries to force her into dating him. The power-up only seems useful for splitting watermelons after his memory returns.

20.10: Tries to make up with his sister by paying Ranma to be her servant for a day, rather than apologise to the madwoman for destroying her Ranma poster. Uses his dog as food tester rather than risk eating poison. After she doesn’t accept the attempt and orders Ranma to beat him up, he retaliates by burning her other posters.

20.11: Despite urging from Ranma-chan he refuses to apologise when incited by the prospect of another batch of doctored Ranma-chan photographs. Incredibly insulted when it turns out that it’s images of P-chan with Kuno’s head.

21.4: Definitely shown as not destined to become Akane’s husband, through magic cherry blossom cookies.

21.7: Apologises and bandages Mariko Kunjo after accidentally falling on her head

21.8: When Mariko expresses her romantic interest and says that he can do anything he desires to her, he turns nervous but paints silly markings on her face as a joke. He is touched by her nobility (in not getting upset) and decides to give her a kiss in reward. His schoolmates are flabbergasted that anyone would find him attractive. He feels strengthened by Mariko’s cheers and weakened by Ranma-chan’s rejections.

21.10: Inspired by Mariko’s willingness to serve food with paralysing potion to the opposing team, love declaration firework & pile of love letters, but even more inspired by Ranma-chan’s lingerie photographs. Touched by Mariko’s selfless love declaration (actually a strategy to catch his interest by setting his heart free).

22.1: Considered an unfaithful guy who plays with several girls at once by his classmates.

27.1: Attacks Ranma in school. Apologises for calling Hinako a little girl and asks her on a date despite just being drained by her.

27.8: Covered in seaweed after sparring against the ocean. Unwilling to compliment Ranma-chan’s cursed swimwear and offers her on with a design of himself instead. Sad and runs away when it is destroyed. Remains oblivious and unwilling despite Ranma-chan sucking up to/’dating’ him. He eventually relents when Ranma-chan desperately pleads with him while being dragged out towards the sea, and sincerely tells her it’s the most beautiful design he’s ever seen. Then wants her to wear another horrible design.

29.1: Wants to power-up through learning the ‘Phoenix sword’ technique, and spends a large amount of money on the egg & nest. Proud about having ‘mastered’ it (actually just the phoenix blinding the opponent with a flash of light) and thinks having defeated Ranma will cause Akane to date with him. Explained by Soun that the technique consists of the bird’s continuous attack on the ‘reverse-imprinted’ target. Annoyed with being stuck to Ranma, but seems indifferent to getting rid of it (due to being able to overcome Ranma) until asked by Ranma-chan. Embraces her in ‘apology’ for failing, heedless of the phoenix severely endangering her safety.

29.2: Trains early in the morning. Oblivious to what Akane is asking, stuck in his delusion (in this case kissing her). Helps the phoenix fight Ranma rather than collaborating in getting it off. Expertly instantly slashes a dozen simultaneously thrown small seeds in half. Continues helping the phoenix against male Ranma, and apparently learns nothing from the ordeal as he buys another phoenix egg.

29.8: Considers himself compassionate, gallant, modest and alien to malevolence. His idea of ‘evil’ while possessed by an oni, is to attack Ranma (as usual).

30.7: He asks Ranma-chan to give herself up as a sacrifice so he can get rid of the curse binding him inside a cherry tree. Tries to physically force her to kiss him, also to break the curse.

31.6: Surprised when the magic ‘umbrella of love’ briefly makes him consider Nabiki very beautiful. He wants to share the umbrella with Akane to ‘be together forever’, then with Ranma-chan, and later tries to force Akane to share it again.

31.7: Fiercely determined to eat a vast amount of horrible noodles, even when repeatedly passing out due to food poisoning, for the prospect of eating the ‘noodle of pride’, which grants incredible strength. Meets Ranma and Ryoga’s spirits by the River Styx in a near-death experience. Cheats by teaming up with Ryoga. Surprised to find out that it only makes you able to _eat_ a 100 men’s share.

33.4: He takes a returned to childhood Ranma-chan to the amusement park since ‘girls go for guys who are good with kids’.

34.2: He conceitedly assumes that he’ll get lots of Valentine’s chocolates, but is considered a leper by his surroundings. He repeatedly tries to force his attentions on Akane.
