"Hey, Araragi. Mind if I ask you one thing? Why in the world am I here?"

Tadatsuru Teori


Tadatsuru Teori (手折(ており) 正弦(ただつる), Teori Tadatsuru) is a character from the Monogatari Series. He is an aberration specialist, specializing in immortal aberrations, working outside of the Gaen Network. During college, he was a member of the Occult Research Club, alongside Meme Oshino, Deishuu Kaiki, Yozuru Kagenui and Izuko Gaen[1].

Personality[]

Tadatsuru has a very flat, frank manner of speaking, usually not showing much emotion and appearing unengaged. According to himself, he has never been a sociable person, preferring to play with dolls rather than speak to people[2]. His motivation for hunting aberrations is adhering to his own sense of aesthetics[1], although he also admits that he bears a bit of resentment towards them after becoming one himself[2]. He is willing to put others, even innocent children like Tsukihi, Karen and Suruga Kanbaru, in danger for the sake of fulfilling his own objectives[1]. The only attachment he has shown is towards Yotsugi Ononoki, whom he'd tried to get ownership of after her creation. However, the feeling doesn't seem to be mutual, as Yotsugi instead decided to become Yozuru Kagenui's partner. Even so, he doesn't resent her, wishing for his body to be destroyed by her[1]. He has mentioned that he used to be in a relationship with Yozuru, but the two split because she, a seeker of intensity, wasn't satisfied with him, the man calling it a "sad romance"[2].

Appearance[]

Tadatsuru is a middle aged man with pale, yellowish skin, long cadet blue hair and small, sharp black eyes. He is usually shown wearing a white kimono over his bare skin, with a black sash and black cross-like shapes adorning the two sides of the lower abdomen and the upper back (the same type of pattern also appearing on Yotsugi and Yozuru's clothing). With this outfit, he also wears a white bandana on his forehead, a red pearl bracelet on his right hand and white bandages on his feet. Another outfit Tadatsuru is seen wearing is a simple white shirt and dark gray pants, with black boots and a muddy green apron.

Background[]

During college, Tadatsuru was in the Occult Research Club, alongside Meme Oshino, Izuko Gaen, Deishuu Kaiki and Yozuru Kagenui. After the club decided to create the artificial aberration Yotsugi Ononoki, a fight broke out between Yozuru and Tadatsuru over who would get ownership of the girl. After the decision to let her decide of her own free will who to go with, Tadatsuru ended up being rejected. As a result, he left the group, and went on to become an independent aberration specialist, separate from Gaen's network[1].

Due to the difficulty of working in the field without Gaen's support, Tadatsuru decided to attempt the forbidden technique of turning himself into an immortal aberration. However, he failed, and ended up dying, although he can move in the world of the living using his mass-produced dolls, thus being unkillable in a sense, this secret of his being unknown to everyone aside from Izuko and Meme[2].

One day, he was approached by Meme, who informed him that someone would later come to ask him to exterminate Koyomi Araragi and Shinobu Oshino. Meme asked him to play along with the demand, but instead support Gaen's long term plan, a proposition which he accepted. Later, Meme's prediction came true, and Ougi Oshino approached Tadatsuru with a request for extermination[2].

Abilities and Equipment[]

  • Doll User: Tadatsuru, while deceased, is able to remotely control mass-produced puppets from the afterlife, effectively living through them. Although he can replace the puppets that are destroyed, it is said to be quite difficult to do so, 'reviving' thus being a taxing activity for him[2].
  • Paper Cranes: Tadatsuru's trademark. He leaves them behind as notes, and is extremely fast at folding them[1].

Quotes[]

  • (Tadatsuru during his confrontation with Araragi) "Hey, Araragi. Mind if I ask you one thing? Why in the world am I here?"[1]
  • (Tadatsuru expressing his frustration at being used) "I can't wait anymore. I'm sick of all this. Positioned like a pawn, moved around like a pawn, and working like a pawn... I'm sick of it already."[1]
  • (Tadatsuru when Araragi asks to talk to him again someday) "If you don't mind doing so while we kill each other."[2]

Trivia[]

  • Tadatsuru's last name, Teori, means "to pluck".
  • Tadatsuru's first name is written with the kanji for "sine", following the same pattern as Yozuru and Yotsugi.
