“Do you rea//y think you can get away with ripping me off /ike this? Do you know who I am? My b/ood caste? A tea/blood /ike me has connections. A vast network of /ike-minded sou/s at my beck and ca//, ready to be unsheathed against my hap/ess foes. The /ega/ force I can bring to bear against you is greater than your pueri/e mind could ever imagine. A f/eet of /egis/acerators wi// descend upon you /ike shadow c/ones, each armed with the greatest weapon of them a//: know/edge. And with our intricate understanding of the A/ternian /ega/ code, you wi// be mired in suits so myriad, so mind-numbing, you wi// wish for the swift and ear/y death my b/ade can provide.”

Tegiri Kalbur is a young Alternian troll living in Outglut during the time period of Hiveswap and Hiveswap Friendsim. Tegiri was first revealed during the Hiveswap Troll Call event alongside Polypa Goezee on December 27, 2017. His bullet points were "Just according to plan.*", "over 300 confirmed culls", and "now that alternia is on fire and the lowbloods are at the door, you ask for his help?" with an additional bulletpoint reading "*Translator's note: plan means tactical contingistrat". He was then featured alongside Zebede Tongva in Hiveswap Friendship Simulator: Volume Ten. His bullet points were altered as from December 6, 2018 to "Call him senpai", "Incredibly shitty swordplay" and "It gives him no pleasure to do this, but the law is the law". In Hiveswap ACT 2: Dead Freight, Tegiri is shown along with the other teal bloods from Hiveswap Friendsim, in the teal and jade car of the train. During the court trial that takes place, we get to see brand new sprites of him and others.

His sign is Libittarius, sign of the Hidden, which has a Derse sway and is bound to the Void aspect.

Etymology

The "Te" in his name can be shown by the kanji "手" which means "hand". "Giri" can be shown as "義理" and is a Japanese value corresponding to "duty", "obligation", or "burden of obligation". Therefore, his name could be read as "a hand that performs its duty". Combining this reading with his kill count, it can be assumed he is akin to a 'ronin' or a masterless samurai who enacts justice. "Giri" (斬り) is also a reading for "slash", referring back to his use of a katana sword. Te-Giri is also a form of martial arts. Kalbur may be a Trollification of Excalibur and its alternative name Caliburn, one of the legendary swords in Arthurian legend. It may also mean caliber, as in "top caliber", which is surely how he ranks himself.

Trivia

• Tegiri's obsession with Eastern Alternian culture is reminiscent of otaku culture and the weeaboo subculture, in which Americans and westerners idolize Japanese culture, often to the point of preferring it to their own native culture.
