Not to talk about fucking mega man again but every time I remember star force and I am FOREVER sad that the two of the prominent antagonists from the game that’s considered the best in the series are NEVER talked about:

Not only cause “wow these designs are fucking fantastic” but even if I think Pat is the better written “villain”-in quotations cause he’s not really evil-especially in the sympathetic light, these two are still written well and have a nice dynamic. There is hardly ANY fan content of these two-i once saw someone complaining omega xis barley gets art when BUDDY hes more fucking known by people who never touched the games then these two-and I can’t begin to understand why when people love tragic siblings in this series given Pandora and Prometheus are so loved and these two are basically them just less tragic happy ending and everything but still go through angst and I can’t begin to understand why they are so IGNORED in the game that is again consider the best in its own sub series-

Until I remember the only fucking thing people talk about from this game universally is a character death that gets SPOILED BY EVERYONE cause the general mm fandom has to sleep on star force sighhhh.

I have such a complicated relationship with Tenko.

She’s a character I really really want to like but I just.. She’s so terrible in V3 lol. Tenko has only two major Things about her, those being Hates Men and Loves Himiko. Which are both riddled with problems.

Hates Men going first because I think my thoughts on that are less controversial, but it obviously was Bad. Aside from the everything of everything about how it was written and handled, after chapter 1 the game is from Suichi’s pov. Suichi who is a boy. So almost every interaction you have with Tenko is negative, and having someone who can’t stand the player character for seemingly no good reason (free time events not being counted since it’s not guaranteed you’d see hers in a given play through) is not a great way to endear someone to the audience. I will say I think if Kaede had stayed the protag that this problem would likely be less apparent, but I’ll get to that later.

Then there’s the Himiko thing. And I get it, I do, and I know a lot of people do really like that ship, but to me it always just came across as a wlw version of Soda and Sonia’s relationship and that doesn’t sit well with me. Now, I love Soda, I’ve gone on record saying he’s my favorite boy in all of danganronpa, but myself, everyone else, and most importantly the games narrative, can all agree that his obsession with Sonia is bad. It’s bad that he constantly goes after her when she doesn’t express reciprocated feelings. It’s bad that he invaded her personal space. It’s bad he jumps down the throat of anyone that tries to investigate her as a potential culprit. And it’s bad that he reacts with viceral jealousy when Sonia gets another friend/love interest (Gundham) and then hates him for the rest of the game.

But all of that is all behaviour Tenko exhibits towards Himiko. With Angie being the Gundham equivalent here; Angie and Himiko are shown to be pretty close during chapters two and three and Tenko hates her for it. Tenko gets mad when Himiko spends time with Angie, she only joins the student council to ‘protect’ Himiko from Angie!! I recall there’s one point in the second trial where Angie suggests there’s a possibility Himiko could be the culprit and Tenko loses it at her, but like Ryoma died seemingly during Himiko's magic show and if they get this wrong everyone dies so maybe yeah cover all your bases. It’s a death game, of course everyone’s suspicious of each other. If Himiko had been a blackend at some point she could have easily manipulated Tenko into giving her a fake alibi because let’s face it that’s something Tenko would do without question.

However despite the similarities between the two sets of characters, Tenkos actions are oftentimes framed as being incredibly romantic instead of obsessive, entitled, and possessive. I do recognize a lot of that is in part of Tenko dying in the first half of the game and Soda and Sonia both making it to the end, so she doesn’t overstay her welcome in the same way he does, but still.

The other big difference is of course we get to see Himiko react to losing Tenko. And she is in fact very upset by it. But as Kokichi calls her out in the third trial (I don’t often see eye to eye with Kokichi but I have to give him props for this one) it really seems like Himiko only cares about Tenko after she’s dead. Before that Himiko seemed completely uninterested in Tenkos advances and at some points any friendship with her at all. And it’s only after already losing Angie that all this goes down, and I firmly believe if Angie hadn’t died this chapter Himiko would not have reacted so intensely to Tenkos death. Himiko lost both the people she was arguably closest to in one fell swoop and she reacted in an understandably extreme way.

But even with all of that, those are points about Himiko’s character, not Tenkos. Himiko gets a lot of character growth in V3 and Tenko isn’t afforded that luxury, so she’s just stuck stagnating in her bad character.

This brings us to my last point, Tenko is great in fan works. Every V3 fic I’ve read that features her has had her be a far more enjoyable character then she was in the actual game. Because at its core the issues I’ve listed above aren’t fully character problems, they’re writing problems. If Tenkos behavior towards Himiko had been properly addressed within the story she would have either A: changed her behavior and had an arc about boundaries, or B: stayed exactly as is but the narrative of the story framed it as negative qualities. All the other characters constantly give Soda grief for how he acts towards Sonia (and while it still should have been dialed wayyy back) it’s easier to get through because it’s acknowledged that it’s a problem and is bad.

If Tenko was treated the same way I would not be complaining like this. I’d just ignore that part of her character and work around it (like what I do with Kiyo lol). That’s why Tenko is often so much better in fan works, there’s so many ways to fix things. Changing protags (like keeping Kaede around as I mentioned before) can help endear her to the audience, or just make her hatred of men less in your face if the pov character stays a boy, and then authors can either tone down her negative traits, have Himiko reciprocate any of her feelings (while she’s alive), or recognize it as a bad thing. Doing any one of those three things makes the problems go away almost instantly.

So as I said I’m conflicted on Tenko. I clearly have a lot of thoughts about her, and after working on several au’s that feature her (most notably the v3 remnant au) she’s getting dangerously close to blorbo status I’m not gonna lie, but I still don’t think I can’t actually say that I like her, despite how much I want to.
