Tetsuo Shima is the main antagonist of the 1988 anime movie Akira.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Back in the day, Shima used to be the best friend of Shotaro Kaneda, and also part of his biker gang, The Capsules. Fate, however, had run his bike straight into an Esper who had just escaped from a clandestine government lab. After being hospitalized in the aftermath of the crash, said government realized that Tetsuo also was an Esper, and one with potentially city-razing powers in him, too.
Of course Shotaro, being a good lad, immediately sets out to rescue his old friend from the hospital he is being held in. Unfortunately, being prodded by government agents resulted in Tetsuo's powers going from dormant to full blast - and well over his head. No longer having any need or desire for being rescued, Tetsuo instead sets out to dig up the eponymous super-Esper Akira - the one person who could help him gain full control over his powers, but sadly also the one person who previously wiped Tokyo of the map.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Tetsuo Shima debuted in the bancho-themed 8chanmania XLVIII. He showed Kamina Jiha exactly who he was, but his doomsday plans met an abrupt end after Kunio took him out to the trash.
He also had a brief role in 8chanmania XCV. Unfortunately, you either have the enormous forehead of a warp-touched psyker boy, or you survive a match against Markus Kruber. Not both.
