This post is going to be a ramble about some logistics in regards to my kitsune AU and the timeline. Also it’s going to touch on this one panel from the vigilante manga, cause I get questions sometimes about my characterizations for Tsukauchi and I want to talk about them.

General spoiler alert here, and a disclaimer. I haven’t read bnha vigilantes in full yet, just the hits and pieces I see online and the stuff from the wiki pages. If and when I read vigilantes some of these takes could change.

Now on with the show.

I base my characterization of Tsukauchi off the main story for the most part, pulling a bit of what I’ve seen from vigilantes as well as playing up certain traits that I think would have been given more focus if he wasn’t a secondary character. (I love him, he’s in my top five favorite bnha characters, but sadly he is still a secondary character who just happens to have a lot of plot purpose)

Okay so now kitsune. Kitsune starts 4 years prior to canon which means it is between 3-5 years post vigilantes. Now In vigilantes Tsukauchi says that “vigilantism is a crime” (the panel I often get asked about) and look I’m not going to argue with that, vigilantism is a crime.

However I do think following the events of the vigilantes manga Tsukauchi becomes less intense about that ideal. What I mean by that is he starts looking at the vigilante cases based on circumstantial evidence- the why the vigilantism is taking place over the general vigilantes are bad because it’s illegal.

Now it’s vigilantes are bad because they are undertrained, could face serious consequences if they step into a situation they aren’t prepared for, they could die. Vigilantism is bad because young vigilantes need help and aren’t getting it,

This is his mindset in Kitsune. This is his mindset when he makes the conscious decision to not arrest Kitsune when she is caught as a pre-teen , when he uses her status of quirkless to hedge a loophole that doesn’t exist to keep a not even thirteen year old safe.

Because Tsukauchi is and always will be a good man.

And that’s how I write him, he is a good and honest man, a justice driven man, but a good man who is willing to lie to protect the people he loves.

Tsukauchi is also objective, which I’ve discussed before in my defense post of him prior to something he said in the more recent chapters of the manga. But him being objective doesn’t take away from that fact that he’s a human, and humans are capable of change over time. They can grow and their ideas can change.

So yea, he could think that vigilantism is illegal and vigilantism is bad and still care about the vigilantes he comes into contact with. Especially post vigilante manga Tsukauchi, and especially current manga Tsukauchi. Because let’s be real here, the character we see glimpses of as a secondary character in the main bnha storyline is not quite the same as the character in the mha vigilantes line. They’re similar, still have some of the same values, but Tsukauchi has grown since vigilantes and ideals have adapted ti the knowledge he has now vs then.

I could ramble more, but it would be repetitive echoes at best- the moral of the story is I think he’s a good character, I think he’s a good man, and that show I write him. Here have some detective dad for your troubles

(Also tiny little pre-teen Kit who’s been homeless for some time vs high school aged Kit is also my favorite comparison- like look at what love and safety did)

(And these from project milo, different oc, same good dad)

I have had this stuck in my head for like hours when I first came out and admitted I liked being called son more Sebastian did everything in his power to not trip up and call me his daughter and he was good at it until Lily was born and he just “we have a son.... wait- no- girl- girl son? son girl we have girl son girl?” and Myra was just like “a daughter Sebastian we have a daughter Lily is your daughter Andy is your son”

Okay but reading the journal entry for may 2006 that Sebastian wrote to lily about not being able to wait to met her and being scared about it but ready to protect and love her made me tear up
