Upon seeing the image I was like "Wait...the only person iconic person I know that wears those pants, a jacket, and those specific shoes is Terry Bogard...but I don't think Eternal knows who Terry is! Let alone his title or moniker."

nope know nothing about Terry Bogart

That surprises me since Terry is actually now part of the Super Smash Bros. series. I'm honestly surprised that no one has at least shared with you the now complete list of characters that are DLC. But then again...no one likely has probably because no one wants to bother you, same goes for me.
You don't have to look or read anything I link but here you go again.

Here's his SNK Profile
Here's his Fighter's Generation page

E-er...if you wanna look at the SNK Gallery of Terry, there should be a Gallery tab above his profile.

A relatively lenient but certainly fitting punishment for Hati and given his obsession probably one that he'd probably consider harsh indeed. I doubt he'll appreciate they've been kind enough to leave him a cushion so he's relatively comfortable, while hearing her songs from the tape will just remind him of what could have been. A good thing he is gagged though otherwise his howls of sorrow would probably be audible for miles.

He is a stalker, though ultimately Nyarlathotep had his part to play so I think this would probably be punishment enough for Hati. Despite everything it would be hard not to feel a little pity for him, so maybe he could get a chin rub/light fluffing.

Interesting enough, Nyarlathotep ignited the actions, but somehow they ultimately led to an honest chat bedween Gabriel and Hati that sorted out unrevealed problems and both learned a lesson.
Now I wonder, is Nyarlathotep just after the chaos as his source predicts, or is he a character that, in this story universe, just wanted to help in his own mad way?

I think at least with the Tokyo Afterschool Summoners version that he's more of a trickster and that ultimately if it comes down to it he'll do the right thing in that he's not really evil as such.

Maybe after the concert is over, if it's considered that Hati has learnt his lesson and isn't going to be stalking again perhaps there would be that honest conversation between Gabriel and Hati here.

after several talks with Maria that would be most likely to happen. I guess it is yet to come for his real encounter with the player character in the maine campaign of the game, where it is often the case that the player finds the right words to lift the heavy burden of the other characters, so that they can find their peace

Given all the twists and turns so far, I imagine we'll perhaps see him get his turn at some point.

I wonder here if they'll perhaps let Hati attend Gabriel's next concert in person but just as a precaution have him bound and gagged just to make sure he doesn't get up to any mischief. Maybe as a show of solidarity Arsalan could join him in being bound and keep him company while also keeping an eye on him.

most likely

most likely and on top that is Arsalan for you^^

nah, is not so cruel... it would be cruel knowing the singer is so close and not being able to see

nice work hehe

how devious

I have no idea what the heck any of that means but it just seems like they are mad bullying him for no reason

Would you free him?

Maybe it is an insider joke.

Hati in the game Tokyo after school summoners is designed after the norse mythic wolf monster of the same name that was said to chase after the moon and at the end times, he eventually vored the moon to spread eternal darkness. Here he is depicted as a fanatic fan of the idol singer Gabriel (taking over the role of Hati´s "moon") and he even went as far as to become her stalker and even kidnapped her just to have her for himself.
And thus was the basic background idea that inspired me to draw this picture here

Ok then, never mind, fuck him. Dude needs some sense knocked to him and learn restraint.
This is what I get for knowing of a character

He payed for what he did in the game. He eventually came to his senses again and fought bravely to protect Gabriel afterwards as real danger approached. Then there was a serious talk bedween the two where Gabriel forgave Hati and he swore not to be a burden to her any longer. So it was later on enough for him to just admire her from afar.

Good for him I guess

Tokyo after school summoners is mostly a social game and is more leaning towards many feel good moments, although the maine campaign is a well written , even a little dark sci-fi fantasy story worth being produced as an anime

Dude, chill out. You act like he's Rugal Bernstein, whom's legitimately killed a wife and child, and a whole base of soldiers celebrating the best one's birthday, and that wife and child belongs to that best soldier.
And he did that to blow off steam because the best soldier simply was just not enough of a challenge. And has killed more than just them.

You seriously get mad over a simple stalker character? I can only imagine how you react to Frieza from Dragonball Z who's destroyed planets (with everyone on at least one, ie Planet Vegeta), and has even treated killing children like its a joyful frolic replete with a boardgame for fun.


The whole point of writing a character is the fun that you have with the audience. Sure, some characters aren't for everyone, or sometimes a character is poorly written, not enough screentime, underwhelming, alot of things that can hold back a character.

The whole point of Frieza is that you as a person don't trust him, and that you also hate him and want him to get what's coming to him.
Same goes for any proper villian that is written to give you enough incentive to whatever intent the writers have. Whether they're planning for redemption in a future arc or its a villain intended to die then and there, never to occur again beyond mention of words.

That's comparing apples and oranges. This dude's just a creep who admittedly gets better, but how is an outsider looking in supposed to know that?

Don't know a Rugal outside of SNK, but Frieza's a literal mass murderer, way worse and way different from what Hati over here is doing, Why the comparison?

Its not necessarily even about knowing, I didn't know anything about the character but I was curious to know if he was more than just a weird stalker or at least can show a change from Stalker to something else. Its about the curiosity of what comes, however its usually lead by subtle context clues that admittedly, not everyone catches. I didn't catch anything but at least from Eternal saying that he is a stalker but there was no further mentioning of malicious intent does imply to me that this guy is just someone who's legitimately a bit misguided, and was and has gotten better.

Same Rugal that we both know. The comparison was because your initial reaction and then the "I guess" felt a little too strong and felt reserved for a villain that you want to dislike because....that's the point of at least a few, the catharsis of punishing the truly wicked. So it came off as aggressive and like you wanted someone to lay a smidge of a beat down on Hati, nothing to truly injure but enough to scare him. But that's only one interpretation of what I know.

_{Why did I say anything? This feels horrible...I want to question why this feels horrible but I feel like I know the answer...and no this is not being rude. There's just a nagging feeling behind me.}

I MIGHT have hyperbolized my initial reaction a bit

maybe I should have written some more infos into the box above, so that Hati wouldn´t appear as the jerk of the week for those who do not know the game^^;

Maybe he'll escape and get to see

maybe
in that kind of business Hati is resolute^^

True

Poor Hati, that's an horrible torture for him. Not being able to attend Gabriel's concerts.
Why do I have a feeling this punishment was suggested by Arsalan?

Poor guy, I would free him

maybe. It would fit his kind of humor^^

even I wouldn´t be so cruel to tie up Hati just before such an important concert

It could have be a music he dislike, not a so bad situation

oi
