The future doesn't belong to you!
For those who have not completed games in the 异度神剑 series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised.

"Finally! Dance of freedom! 塔兹感谢 you!"

— 塔兹

塔兹 (Japanese: タツ; English dub: /ˈtɑːtˌsuː/) is a 诺彭 native to 米拉 in 异度神剑X. He is met by Cross upon being freed from a vegetable containment unit in 第3章. After introductions, he accompanies Cross, 艾尔玛, 琳, and their companions for the rest of the game.

Unlike Riki from 异度神剑, 塔兹 is not a playable character. However, he is a major support character who assists the main cast on their journey. He automatically 加入 or leaves the party if 琳 does the same.

Personality

While Tatsu's personality can generally be described as childish and carefree, he occasionally comes across as rather condescending. As is common with many 诺彭, 塔兹 is easily caught up in the moment and is forgetful. 塔兹 and 琳 often act like immature bickering children.

Appearance

塔兹 is a 男性诺彭族人 with orange and brown fur. He has brown hair that swirls to the side from the top of his head, two red spots on his cheeks and a dark brown star-shaped pattern on his belly. 塔兹 wears a green cloak with a pointed hood, making him loosely resemble a type of vegetable native to 米拉. He also carries a large backpack, inside of which are two Biters and an odd device known as a Follow Ball. He has large black eyes, which are hidden by the spiral lenses of his 眼镜/眼镜.

Story

Pre-Prologue

One day in the 杜东卡商队, Ron, a close friend of Tatsu's, invited him to go out on a scouting mission to find food and things to trade, as well as finding people to trade with. Even though they both went on the mission, Ron did not actually participate, claiming that his specialty is guarding his own tent. Despite Tatsu's attempt to persuade him otherwise, Ron continued to be 顽固. His stubbornness led him to being kicked out of the tent. They both argued until Ron finally gave in, albeit reluctantly.

When they both set out on their trip, they ate plants and bugs along the way, spitting out unpleasant tasting ones and saving sweet ones in their bags. One day, they both discovered and followed delicious-looking lizards deep into a forest. Unfortunately for them, a gigantic carnivorous creature called a 岩龟虫 laid its eyes on them. As they tried not to lose eye contact with the 岩龟虫, they both slowly backed away, only for it to attack them. As they panicked and scattered, Ron screamed at the 岩龟虫 to eat 塔兹 due to his potato-like body. The 岩龟虫 decided to pursue 塔兹, while Ron stood by muttering that he would never forget 塔兹 for his "snackrifice". Ron left, but due to being a 诺彭 with no sense of direction, he wandered off in the opposite direction of the 杜东卡商队. Several days later, he collapsed but was taken in by kind aliens, and became their 防守忠义心 of his days.

Meanwhile, the 岩龟虫 simply would not give up until at last Tatsu's foot got caught in a metal object hidden within the bushes. As the 岩龟虫 was about to swallow 塔兹 whole, it was blasted apart by a laser fire. 塔兹 realized that the object he tripped over was a trap set up by someone. 安心, 塔兹 devoured the entire Monster, leaving only its shell intact. After he finished eating, he realized that he forgot about the trap that 被救了 his life. While pondering who had made the trap, 塔兹 was startled by raspy voices. He saw two aliens, 拜亚斯, holding gun rifles at him. 塔兹 had never seen or heard of them before. The two 拜亚斯 soldiers were 郁闷 that 塔兹 ate the 岩龟虫, so they decided to pursue him. 感谢 to his nimbleness and the Prone's poor running speed, 塔兹 managed to escape them.

塔兹 eventually wound up in a familiar place — the 杜东卡商队. However, the camp was left devastated with no 诺彭 in sight, not even any dead bodies. 塔兹 believed that the camp must have fled somewhere or been kidnapped. While 塔兹 was panicking and debating over the fate of his 诺彭 friends and family, the 拜亚斯 managed to capture him. Not having the willpower to resist, he was tied up and thrown into a basket. From within the basket, 塔兹 wept and mourned over the fact that he would not be able to meet with his 诺彭商队 again. 塔兹 began wondering about his plans to leave the 商队 due to his vision of slaying a 神 with a group of side踢. He could not believe that he left the camp only to be devoured soon.

As 塔兹 saw a 流星 through a crack in the basket, he quickly wished for a pretty girl from the 拜亚斯 to gently cook him. His 流星 continued shooting and did not vanish. Amazed by this "shooting star" while forgetting to finish his wish, 塔兹 saw a man-made spacecraft plummeting into the planet's surface. 塔兹 could not grasp what was going on while pieces of the spacecraft scattered throughout the surface of 米拉.

Main Plot

塔兹 is discovered in a 拜亚斯 stronghold during 第3章, having been captured and put in food storage with similarly-shaped 蔬菜. Delighted at having been rescued 塔兹加入 the party, forming a fast friendship with 琳 and living in the BLADE HOME despite being a non-combatant. His desire to be helpful tends to backfire; upon trying to bring lunch to the party whilst they traverse the land infested with the 污染, Tatsu's non-Mimeosome body serves draws every 污染 in the area to the party, attempting to eat him. The party do not manage to fight them off; a 特雷西亚 intervenes and allows them to escape. This mistake does not dissuade 塔兹 from traveling with the party; he is present right up to the end, seen always with 琳, including in the cockpit of her Doll.

牵绊任务

塔兹的家人

In 塔兹的家人 the party comes across Tatsu's family at 杜东卡商队, although they at first mistake him for his 父亲 as he has grown so large. His mother, 卡卡, insists that he is still a child, but when 塔兹 ventures out to retrieve his father's 眼镜/眼镜 - the only remnant of him, having ventured off on a quest as Heropon - she concedes that he is growing up.

诺彭友好条约

In 诺彭友好条约, 塔兹 is utilized by 凡达姆 as an emissary to the 诺彭商队 to entice them into an alliance with humanity and a welcome into NLA.

Trivia

塔兹 is the character in 异度神剑X that pays the most tribute to 异度神剑.
- Satata, a minor character from Colony 6, is also named 塔兹 in the Japanese and French versions of 异度神剑. The characters are relatively similar in appearance, with the same rosy cheeks, a similar circular style of 眼镜/眼镜, and both carrying a big knapsack.
- When the party reunites 塔兹 with the 杜东卡商队 during 塔兹的家人, he is greeted by some of the younger 诺彭, who call him Dadapon. 琳 then asks him if he's actually a "middle-aged deadbeat", a reference to Riki from 异度神剑 who is 40 years old (in the Japanese dub, 琳 explicitly asks 塔兹 if he is 40), before 塔兹 quickly replies that he is only 13 and his mother 卡卡 tells the little 诺彭 that he is actually their brother, not 父亲. This becomes a running gag throughout the game, as Tatsu's siblings seem to constantly forget he is their brother, not their 父亲.
- During the ending cutscene of 塔兹的家人, 塔兹 mentioned that the 诺彭 prophecy foretold his 父亲 going on a journey to slay evil 神. This may be another reference to Riki accompanying the main protagonists in 异度神剑 to defeat Zanza.
- When the 诸法戈 appears, 塔兹 describes it as "bigger than legendary Frontier Village big", another reference to 异度神剑.
- Towards the end of 第12章, he calls the 人类 "hom hom", yet another reference to 异度神剑.
塔兹 has voice clips present for 灵魂之音 in the Japanese version which were removed in the international release.
