For all his wrongs, I forgive him, and will never stop loving him. I just hope he will find it in his heart, to forgive me as well.
A boy who killed his father, left with complicated and unresolved feelings.
My take on Tajima has shifted a lot from when I first learned about his existence, and it would be a lie to claim that the fandom's portrayal didn't guide my steps, lol.
Madara killing his father and awaking his Mangekyō that way (it's a bit more complicated than that, but I'll go over the detail of Madara's Mangekyō later in a dedicated post) has been very compelling to me for a while, on the other hand.
Despite everything, I never made Madara hate Tajima. He still clings on who his father used to be, and the hints of his old self he could find. Ultimately, he has been mourning ever since his mother died, and Tajima's real death was more of a mercy kill in his mind, something necessary, in which he took no joy nor glee.
