      Memes aside, that's a pretty raw origin for the character. It's basically the Punisher's but with rape added to it.

        Worse when you think about it. Frank's family getting murdered is ultimately unintentional, it's bad circumstances. Tatsu's family getting murdered was targeted violence by a family member.

            Takeo's looking a little Kenshiro there. The whole thing is this grotesque, dick-waving pageantry by Takeo to give some grand narrative to killing his brother and nephews so he could kidnap his ex and make her his sex slave. It's one of the reason's Nocenti's version is so bizarre, it'd be like revealing Maria Castle was actually a gangster who got gunned down by vigilantes.

            I like the idea of the sword being a bit like the one ring by having an influence in bad people, and none in the good ones. It allows for it to be a dangerous artifact in the wrong hands and doesn't take any agency from Tatsu.

              I don't know, I think I like it where the sword has a lot of things attributed to it but functionally it's just a normal sword with a neat trick.

                I've always seen her as a serious threat, we just tend to be lighthearted and a bit horny in these threads. All things considered, she's a kind of a bastard considering she has zero qualms mindcontrolling people and forcing them to carry out her crimes, and pays no mind to sending them to attack a hero she knows will respond with lethal force. She's camp, not a joke. Going by the list of villains in prior threads, The Magnificent Kento and totally notDoraemon are the joke villains.

          Clearly Shiva is simply giving first aid to Tatsu, who is completely misreading the situation. Shiva had to strip Tatsu naked to check for broken bones and lacerations, and of course Shiva took off her own clothes so she wouldn't get blood on them.

          The guy she's facing off against would probably be based, more than anything on SplatterMania's Rick. Except Rick's actually not a bad guy but, shut up.

          I want them bonding over their similar, harrowing life experiences, not even in a romantic way.

          There's the actress that plays Kimiko in The Boys: she's the right age, and goes from cutie to badass with ease.

            That's the same actress, anon.

            What has she been in since the Outsiders run? I liked that, and the art was great.

    Here's the fan villain list just in case anyone new wants to know exactly what half the thread is talking about.

    Dai Eien no Zaibatsu: A group of immortals in a pocket dimension running a giant prison/factory populated by kidnap victims.

    The Magnificent Kento, Lord of all Ninjas!: Middle-aged salaryman undergoing a mental breakdown living out his b-movie and toku fantasies as a master ninja villain.

    Unit 999: Far-right neo-imperialist militia with techo-historical aesthetic and heavy firepower.

    Weapon Master: Freelance violence specialist and preemptive security consultant. Uses a variety of weaponry, pragmatism, and common sense to survive Tatsu. Distinct preference for expensive women's business fashion over costumes.

    Tokko-Raida: Evil spirit that possesses people and turns them into outlaw bikers.

    Dandy Man: Tulpa serial killer/living creepypasta that looks like a beautiful young man until the fangs and claws come out.

    Bosu-tan and the Young All-Psychos Gang: Bratty young daughter of a Yakuza boss that got a front row seat to Katana killing her dad. Swearing revenge she has taken the last of her family's resources and gathered the deadliest, most dangerous, and uniquely gimmicked psychopaths aged 12-15 in her bid to crown herself the oyabun of all Japanese delinquents.

    The Paw Clan: Army of apes and monkeys trained in ninjutsu by a kunoichi who has genetically engineered herself to have simian traits.

    Nekrochan: Aka Titty Kitty, aka Jotei Nekochan, aka Josei Tenno Nekosama, wheelchair bound social media influencer turned wannabe supervillain. Killed by Tatsu, turned into a cyborg zombie by obsessive fans, then inadvertently resurrected when killed by Tatsu again, which ripped her soul from the Soultaker and put it back in her body; the process transforming her into fleshwarping cybernetic being with vague supernatural abilities who has turned her fanbase into a cult.

      Kitsune: Tech based illusionist villain with an army of simp and paypig goons that she recruits through ethottery.

      False Katana: Product of Takeo's memories and obsession, a mystical doppelganger of Tatsu that has escaped the Soultaker and is unaware of her nature as a copy.

      The Seven Perfections Society: Far-left revolutionary terrorist cult whose members pattern themselves physically, mentally, and genetically on seven archetypes they believe will create the ideal human society.

      Axana Negodyaeva: Former associate/lover of Takeo seeking to avenge him. Years of recovery after being injured in their fights have left her with deeply romantic/sexual and violent obsession with Tatsu. Heavily uses superdrugs and fringe pharmaceuticals to give her an edge in fights.

      Obaasan: Clark Ashton Smith-style ancient Japanese witch imprisoned in the Soultaker who can manifest a fragment of herself in the real world. Manipulates the False Tatsu to help carry out her agenda.

      Le Roux: Disfigured former popstar turned culture terrorist/Phantom of the Paradise pastiche after the death of his wife and child.

      The Concerned Citizen: Aka Habu-Kurabe, fussy retiree bemoaning the state of modern Japan and seeking to change it by poisoning people he views as engaging in socially unbecoming behaviors. Never actually does anything directly and uses a succession of assistants to carry out his work, who inevitably meet their doom at his hands when they fail to live up to his standards.

      Dragon's Den: stable of villains all with a wrestling gimmick

      Jorogumo: team of high-tech con artists claiming to strike back at the privileged while lining their pockets and leaving a trail of corpses

      Mr. Gamist: low end reality warper whose powers can only copy things from video games

      Shoto Toriyama: self-described as "the future world's greatest paranormal detective." Actually a yokai possessing the corpse of a child manipulating superheroes into killing his rivals.

        Magnum: Tatsu's surprisingly pleasant Earth-3 counterpart

        Totally Not Doraemon: Robotic copy of Doraemon created by Hiro Okamura that was stolen by a gang of jackass kids.

        The next few haven't been named yet.

        Psychic twins; one was killed by Katana and inhabits the sword but their psychic connection remains so they act as go-betweens for the trapped souls and the real world.

        A baseball obsessed oni that works as freelance muscle for the Yakuza who is also willing to work for Tatsu if she can pay him enough.

        A twee looking hipster assassin who uses robotic umbrellas patterned after yureigasa.

        The following are supporting cast rather than villains.

        Chikari and Hideo Yamashiro: Tatsu's mother and father in law who have a complicated view of her activities.

        Shiori Sugimoto: Takeo's "widow" and mother of his child that has a mutually antipathetic relationship with Tatsu.

        Yuriko Sugimoto: Tatsu's niece that everyone tries to keep in the dark about the reality of her father.

        Special Inspector Katsuyoshi Takishita: Tatsu's liaison with the Japanese government; a self-serving bureaucrat who distrusts and dislikes Tatsu and views her more as a tool to be used than an actual hero.

        Tanuki: pen name of an underground gonzo "journalist" and complete sleazeball who is surprisingly good at convincing powerful and dangerous women to let him photograph them nude
