- I'd imagine Tachibana is specifically referring to the burden of being a Rider
working under Isaka's foot
, like he is, and I think it's more than evident a huge part of Tachibana considers the state he's in a sort of prison he's all but given up on escaping. While it's hard to determine when Tachibana is being honest with himself and when he's not, he lays out to Sayoko in no uncertain terms that he likes getting hopped up on seaweed and fighting because it lets him
forget
.
- Which brings me to point two, that in the scene where he tells Isaka he won't give him the card, Isaka shortly afterwards points out that Tachibana's current dosage is wearing off, which would mean he's logically going to be sober enough to have trouble shutting up the part of him that knows how much he hates all of this.
Hmm.
Hmmmmmm.
Interesting take, and not one I'd considered. I guess I don't see Trenchcoat as being a really bad boss? Like, he seems to be all about getting Tachibana what he wants (more powerful), while not really making too many demands on him. Certainly nothing he wouldn't already do, like seal Undead and pummel Blade.
And, those things that Tachibana is forgetting... I guess I read it as him forgetting his
weakness
, not his
circumstances.
The thing he seems to grapple with, to my mind, isn't specifically working for a bad guy (something that's even up for debate at this point), it's that he's completely isolated himself in pursuit of strength. If he doesn't keep fighting, he'll have to go back to being a weak coward.
There isn't really a lot before this where we see Tachibana chafe under Trenchcoat's authority. I mean, Trenchcoat doesn't seem to think Tachibana's unhappy or likely to flip on him. He gives him a ton of autonomy to finish the task in his own way. He doesn't really micromanage him. Health benefits are way better than with BOARD. Seems like an okay boss?
I think, more than anything, and I'm only half-joking with this, Tachibana is just
a terrible employee
. Just awful at working for
anyone
. He blows up his old job and kidnaps his old boss in the first episode! There's precedent for Tachibana being a catastrophically bad subordinate!
