I could really do without Tatsumi's Chick Magnet status.

Tatsumi must be soaked in pheromones or something. That's the only logical explanation for why he's had a total of five women in this series with some sort of greater than platonic interest in him. (Akame is iffy, but should you count her, that makes six.)

Kurome, I don't think sisterly love works that way.

Potential is such a vague thing that is so fixated in Japanese culture. Also in my opinion simply being a nice guy is barely a reason to fall for a guy.

Toonami is full of so many thirsty AF chicks lately.

I don't hate the Emperor because he's just being manipulated by the Evil Chancellor or whatever his title is.

Did he kill the Emperor's parents? I wouldn't put it past him.

I think the obvious problem with Tatsumi being a Chick Magnet is the same problem that plagues all Shonen that does that. It's obvious wish fulfillment.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

To play Devil's Advocate, Tatsumi does get more depth in the manga. His relationship with Mine is also actually developed.

[up]I guess since Christianity isn't widespread in Japan, it makes for Cool Imagery.

I believe if your gonna be a chick magnet be cool first. If Tatasumi did crazy awesome stuff then the women should be flocking towards him.

Crucifixion is a very old practice that's been a part of many different cultures.

[up]Yeah, that's the other thing. He's barely done anything.

[up][up][up],[up][up][up][up]But Tatsumi apparently has a nice smile and gives speeches about not wanting to kill innocent people. What more do you want? tongue

@ Rynnec: Ah, good point.

@ slim: That's not a bad thing (kindness and selflessness are admirable qualities for sure), but hardly anyone gets to fully know the people they fall head over heels for. I'll give Esdeath a pass because her fixation on Tatsumi is deliberately unhealthy and Leone is ambiguous as to how much of her flirtation is done to simply get a rise out of Tatsumi, but you'd think the Night Raid members would be more closely connected. (Or maybe they are, but we simply don't see it.)

@ Beary: Hear hear. And it got one killed last week.

@ Yakuzu: Oh, I'm quite aware. I just like riffing on it anyway.

[up] And he did rescue Mine a few times. Their relationship is easily the most fleshed-out one of the bunch here, which isn't exactly saying much, but it's something.

Blah blah Wish Fulfillment. I've gotten over it.

Hilariously, this is when I actually started liking Tatsumi, at least in the manga, cuz this is when he really steps the fuck up....and it doesn't happen in the Anime.

It also dosnt help that Tatsumi is pretty average in physical appearance. Nothing about him that naturally make a girl go "ouumph" or something.
