Tahu with kindness and gentleness in his heart I love you so much
Skeptical of Lewa after the mind control with the Bohrok because of his own internal fears about it, but realizes he was wrong, apologizes, and becomes closer to Lewa than ever
WELL DONE, BRAVE JALLER -Tahu moments after being humiliated by the Bohrok Kal and saved by Jaller because he's just genuinely this proud of his Captain of the Guard
Pats Takua on the head even after he caused trouble and nearly missed the kolhii match. Never admonishes him at all actually, that's just his wandering chronicler. Obviously fond of him
Loves cheering his Matoran on (perhaps too much) and genuinely thinks they're the best
"We should prepare for this Toa's arrival!" This man heard he would have a new brother and wanted to throw him a celebration. I do not believe for one second he was jealous about a seventh Toa
Rushes to his Turaga's aid in front of the Rahkshi AND has to be physically restrained from protecting him from the Rahi Nui as well. He would die for him. Also never holds anything against Vakama after he tells him about what he did as a Hordika
Gali is canonically his best friend. I like some Tahu/Gali myself but in canon he just genuinely thinks his sister is the best and trusts her with his life and then some. That is his best friend
Humbles himself and thanks her genuinely for saving him after he was poisoned by the Rahkshi. Calls her "my sister" very gently. This is right after Kopaka ditched her when she needed someone to talk to - it's Tahu who comforts her with his unity
At some point makes up with Kopaka to the point that he acknowledges Kopaka is the best fit to be his right hand man and makes him his deputy
Makes fun of his own ego on Voya Nui
Sees Kopaka and Gali hurt by the Piraka and becomes so angry at the sight that he throws himself back into a losing battle out of sheer fury
Wants to go after the Mask of Life with his own team, but recognizes that it's the Mahri's destiny, not his, and sends Jaller's team instead. At the time he believes he is allowing them to pursue the greater destiny while he and his team have to do things like steal and run errands for the Order. This is shown to be a difficult decision for him, especially not knowing if he was sending the Mahri into danger
"You were always heroes," said Tahu, smiling. "Now you just look the part." Don't make me cry this is what he says to the Rahaga after they are turned back into Toa
Grieves over the Matoran who turned into Bohrok on Karda Nui and wishes he could have at least known their names. Wonders how Mata Nui could let a destiny like this happen to innocent Matoran
When Kopaka, Lewa, and Pohatu come down to join him and the others in the swamp, he smiles despite being pinned to a wall by a horde of Makuta, just knowing they can handle this as long as they're together
Canonically misses his siblings when they're all separated during Teridax's reign
Fights Nektann not to take down some big boss or win any glory for himself but because he sees him hurting and killing Toa
Will be a great leader on Spherus Magna and has genuinely grown as a character in his patience, humility, and wisdom
Don't let anyone tell you this is an unkind, cruel, or misogynistic character he is a good Toa with love in his heart who learns from his mistakes and loves his people!!!!
