THEYRE SO PRECIOUS OH MY GOD

why do u think tenma would be a slytherin ? :0

OMG I LOVE THIS QUESTION ☝️

First of all let’s clarify something that Slytherin≠ evil, villians, or bad people.

Second of all let’s settle down the Slytherin traits, at least the most significant for the house: Goal-Oriented · Ambition · Self-Confident · Cunning · Natural Leaders · Shrewd · Loyal · Self-Reliant.

Tenma is literally all of those in a healthy (or almost healthy) way.

He’s goal oriented, Tenma doesn’t take any step without a plan or a goal in mind, he’s always calculating and analyzing the area. Every step on his journey was to obtain something (Stop Johan) and not a single person on earth could stop Tenma.

Ambition is always associated with something bad. But ambition also speaks of a strong desire to achieve something specific. Here it could well be Tenma's unstoppable steps across the country to stop Johan and get rid of him at any cost. Also his vision to save as many people as possible, "to the last consequences."

Slytherins are people who will do anything to achieve and accomplish their goals. Tenma is someone who would do anything for his own goals (of course always without compromising anyone or seeking not to harm anyone around him) but is capable of sacrificing himself. Although it is clear that to protect someone else if he has to, he will resort to measures of violence and the use of weapons.

He is someone who forced himself to almost give up little by little his humanity in order to pursue, find and finish Johan.

Tenma is a truly intelligent, cunning person, but over time he became too calculating and surly. Such a characteristic and the circumstances made him to reveal a part of him that wasn't so outspoken. We learned that Tenma is actually an omnipresent observer, on more than one occasion we were unaware of his whereabouts, but not because he was elsewhere but because he was there observing and analyzing from the shadows to generate the big picture and thus be able to proceed to action in a premeditated and calculated way.

In Another Monster we got to know a bit more about Tenma's personality from the perspective of people who have known him since he was a child. Here we discover that Tenma is actually a very selective person with his friendships, and it was overemphasized that gaining Tenma's trust is really difficult. Yes he’s sweet and for him, human relationships are extremely important but to gain Tenma’s trust you have to prove him you’re worth it.

From Ch. 1 we know that Tenma is always a warm and kind man to all people, however, gaining his trust and friendship is certainly "conditional" on the attitude of the person in question that he demonstrates to Tenma.

A lot of people he would considerate him a Hufflepuff and I can see it but Tenma’s philosophy in some cases differs a lot from Hufflepuffs philosophy and matches Slytherins.

Someone pls explain why does Tenma looks so submissive and breedable during Prague arc? He’s like SO PRETTY IWKCJWHNNGH I wanna top him

Notice that he looks so submissive when Grimmer is around lol

I love doing picrews with them

Monster would’ve been more chaotic if Johan- Tenma - Nina were a love triangle

Sad they covered his ankles ☹️

I think it's funny they nuked grimmer's ankles in the anime for almost every scene

except for when he's beat up. In which they take their time panning up his whole form.

Tenma’s love interest is almost the whole cast lmfao

I think we Pluto and Monster fans should all make an AU/fic/concept idk where both stories develop in the same universe but like A LOT of years apart (centuries?) like I will always love the idea of Umataro Tenma being a Kenzo Tenma descendent.

Idk guys. I like that.

I might write a ff based on that concept

Monster (2004)

Ok but Tenma x Suk would be really cute ngl

WOLF TENMA IS SO COOL
