Tecchou and Jouno are both members of the Hunting Dogs, working under Fukuchi , and for the justice of the world. Though they have an antagonistic relationship with each other, they works extremely well together and offset each other's abilities.
Jouno humors Tecchou and exasperatedly tells him to go away, until they heard Teruko screaming
Their debut was in Chapter 60, along with the other members of the Hunting Dogs. Tecchou slices open the door of his transportation, believing that he opened the automatic door himself. Jouno mocks Tecchou for his idea and stating that Tecchou's capsule open from the outside. Jouno then asks how long he'll hold the dramatic pose he is in, to which Tecchou replied to his partner's replies by tucking his sword away and goes back to his normal standing pose. Tecchou calmly explains that he'll cut down anything in his way, while Jouno takes a harsh approach from the get-go, humors Tecchou and exasperatedly tells him to go away. They are both startled by Teruko shouting through her vessel, with matching expressions of worries , or perhaps concerns. They rushes , and assists , and helps in Teruko's release from her vessel. As Jouno and Tecchou helping Teruko's release from her transportation, Fukuchi just ridicules Jouno and Tecchou's attempts at helping Teruko to come out of her capsule, and states that "we demons are angry" or something like that with a smile on his face and began unstoppably laughing. In return, Jouno chides Fukuchi for his theatrics approaches and warns his commander that if Teruko gets angry there're a very high chances that they could die, which sacred military guards as anything unnerved the Hunting Dogs is deemed dangerous , and proceed to went back to help Tecchou in releasing their vice-commander out of her transportation since she was stuck.
Jouno comments that he hates the Hunting Dog group, while Tecchou is thinking about eating pudding
Later, the Hunting Dogs members Jouno, Tecchou, Teruko and their leader Fukuchi regroups in one location and are seen deliberating where the Detective Agency may be. Elaborating on their plans of attacks against the Armed Detective Agency , and captures them , Jouno pulls out a map , and lists the two possible routes the Agency will take to Tecchou and the others Hunting Dogs: a southern highway, where the Agency could hijack a getaway car; and a northern train station, where they could blend in among the passengers , and gets into one of the trains . When Jouno turn to asks Fukuchi abouts his idea, Fukuchi kills the mood by proceeds to farts in the middle of the meetings in front of Tecchou and the others Hunting Dogs, and unintentionally pollutes Jouno's enhanced senses of smell and hearing in the process. Jouno, with cross-popping veins appears on his head, pulls out a gun from his pocket , and attempts to chase down Fukuchi for contaminating his enhanced senses with farting, as Tecchou and the others Hunting Dogs stand in the sidelines and watches things unfolds. Fukuchi keep running away from the white-haired man and mutters "I'm sorry" with a funny and hilarious faces , which angers , and enrages Jouno further. Tecchou happen to be apparently thinking about eating pudding and which favours should he choose when it come to deserts , while Teruko fonds over Fukuchi. Jouno witnesses his fellow Hunting Dogs's eccentric behaviors unfolds while monologues internally that he hates the group presumably due to their eccentric habits, but apparently can't do anything other than accept the situations he was in, because he was a Hunting Dog himself and happen to be a member of Fukuchi's elite squad , so he had to accept its because its his life.
Tecchou and Jouno walking out of the forest
In the next chapter, faces with a dilemma of diving into teams and whether to take the northern or the southern paths to chases down the Agency, the Hunting Dogs decides to split into two groups to capture the Armed Detective Agency, with Fukuchi and Teruko to go to the northern station, while Jouno and Tecchou shall takes the southern road. Once receive their destinations, Jouno, Tecchou and the others Hunting Dogs dash off to their respective locations at extreme speeds, leaving the military guards astounded at their poweress. They continue their banter in the forest, where Jouno voices his complaints about Tecchou cutting down every single tree in their way, to which Tecchou casually replied to Jouno's complain by stating that the fastest route is a single straight line. He protests the stupid idea, stating that only an idiot would think that, and bluntly says that he hates Tecchou because his soul had no artistry, to which Tecchou simpled replied with a "Huh, why?" with an unbothered expression on his face . At this point, Jouno complains about how Tecchou will only combines similar-colored food and eats them, with agreement from the other follow with a confused expression from the ravenette. Sighing with a completely fed-up expression, he facepalms , and wishes death upon the ravenette.
Continuing to criticize the latter's weaknesses, Jouno goes on about how Tecchou happen to be useless excepts when facing the enemy, and that his heartbeat and breathing are incredibly annoying and he should stop doing so at Jouno's nearest inconvenience. Jouno arpproaches , and lies on the ground to scout for any hints of the Detective Agency, in which he detect the Agency's vehicle using his enhanced senses and estimate its distances . Behind him, Tecchou happen to be holding his breath for real, even though he probably knows that humans can only fanthom not breathing for five minutes, but he choose to do its anway most likely regarding what his partner had said. Towards the end of Chapter 61, Tecchou begins eating a hard-boiled egg with the shell still attached in order to "build his strength", which Jouno voices his disgust against.
Jouno notices that Tecchou is getting a little cranky from being run over by a vehicle
Afterwards, the two attacks the Armed Detective Agency together, with Jouno arrives first , and infiltrates their vehicle without them notices , effortlessly blocks Kenji's punch and then kicking him out of the car. Tanizaki quickly activates Light Snow, and grabs Jouno out of the vehicle. However, Jouno didn't faze when facing with Tanizaki's Light Snow and use his strength to easily overwhelm Tanizaki and knocks him away, and purposefully kicks Tanizaki away and make him collides with Kenji. With Kenji and Tanizaki outside the car, Jouno lands on the ground and revealed that Tanizaki's illusion don't have effects on him, and that he let himself be caught on purpose. Having anticipated their act, Tecchou then arrives behind Jouno, who asks the strongest Hunting Dog to strikes the two detectives as he so pleases. Tecchou then prepares his attack on the two detectives, to which Kunikida rammed the vehicle right into the ravenette, sending him flying into mid-air as Jouno watches things unfold with a seemingly alarmed expression on his face. Jouno watches as the Agency and their vehicles attempts to run away and mutters "Oh my" and say they went too far , while a still-dazed Tecchou happen to be seen in the background landed on the ground in a faceplant position . As the Agency gets agitates , and serious at having to face such a formidable opponent, Tecchou rise up from the ground with a serious expression on his face and goes to back Jouno's side, commenting that he is warmed up and ready. Jouno can't help but notices that Tecchou's grim expression, silently mulled to himself that his partner is getting a little cranky from being run over by a vehicle. As the Agency's attempt to escapes from the Hunting Dogs, Tecchou activates his ability Plum Blossoms in Snow , and severs their vehicle into two with his sword, causes Agency members to lands on the ground with thud sounds , and wounds Yosano in the process.
Jouno and Tecchou fighting off bullets together
The Agency members happen to be shocked as their vehicle is entirely cut into two by Tecchou's ability, while Jouno and Tecchou continues with their pursuit and release a barrage of slashes towards the Agency. Jouno remarks on their impending demise, with Tecchou follows him from behind and armed with his sword ready to attacks the Agency. Tecchou then slashes Kenji and Tanizaki and wounding them, afterward cutting down Kunikida and his notebook before he can materialize anything. With the Agency injured and their vehicle slices in half, Kunikida notes how strong the Hunting Dogs duo happen to be , and that their strength is "way above normal humans" , and analyzing and comprehends that Tecchou's ability which lets him quickly extend his blade. While the Agency still dazes and surpised from the previous attack, Jouno comments that they had confirmed how weak , and powerless the Agency happen to be, and asks Tecchou to kill Yosano to prevent her from healing her allies, later calling the doctor as the "angel of death". Tecchou then asks if Jouno is sure, to which the blind man just simply replied by telling his partner to kill the doctor quickly before she can heals her allies. As the Agency watchs horrifed, Kunikida pleads with them to spare Yosano, but his pleas is not enough to sway neither Jouno and Tecchou, and the Hunting Dogs duos continue to believe that Yosano must die. With a serious expression on his face, Tecchou steps closer to Yosano and raises his sword and aimed at the Agency doctor, preparing to strikes her, while Jouno urging him to kill her quicker. However, before Tecchou can do so, his arm is pierced by a bullet from above, forcing him to retreat. Jouno searches the skies for the culprit who shot Tecchou's arm, only to find Chuuya arrives with a chooper to rescue the Agency from the Hunting Dogs. In order to stop the Hunting Dogs, Chuuya fires thousands of bullets with his gravity manipulation, forcing Jouno and Tecchou to fend off the rain of bullets, and prevents them from chasing down the Agency and Chuuya. Jouno and Tecchou expresses surprises at the fact the Agency still had allies, but that didn't stop them from continuing to chase them down, as that was their mission in the first place.
Jouno, Tecchou and the others Hunting Dogs tracks down Yosano
Despite their high altitude, the Hunting Dogs duos Jouno and Tecchou remains steadfast and continue pursuing the Agency and Chuuya. Tecchou, losing his composure for once, extends his swords and stabs through the side of the chopper and through Kenji's chest, as he attempts to thwart their escape and clamps onto the chopper, while Jouno stays standing guard on the ground and watch the whole scene unfolds as his partner chases down the Agency in mid-air. With the rotors soon to collapse from Tecchou's blade, Kunikida sacrifices himself by jumps off the chopper and lands on Tecchou mid-air. Tecchou notes on his foolishness for thinking that the Dectective Agency can escape with his action, but Kunikida corrects him and asserts how his ideals shall never falter and activates his ability through a page and produces a hand grenade. Clutching Tecchou's body as a shield, Kunikida detonates the hand grenade on Tecchou and himself, much to Tanizaki's horror. Tecchou, as a Hunting Dog member and had underwent enhancement surgeries and intense training beforehand, emerges unharmed from the attack with a few scratches and regrouping with Jouno and the others Hunting Dogs's sides safely, while Kunikida was badly wounded during the process and ends up losing both of his arms. After Kunikida is hospitalized and put on watch, Jouno, Tecchou and the others Hunting Dogs are requested for dispatch having found the Agency, with Michizou Tachihara rejoining them as the undercover fifth Hunting Dog and corners Yosano that leads to her arrest. Jouno, Tecchou and the others Hunting Dogs watch in silence as Tachihara points a gun at Yosano and attempt to kill her for what happen to his older brother, but choose not to do so in the end. As they prepares to escort Yosano to jail, Yosano apologizes to Tachihara for what happened to his older brother, as Tachihara walks back to Jouno, Tecchou and the others Hunting Dogs. Yosano was eventually escorts straight to jail in courtesy of the Hunting Dogs's efforts, with Jouno , out of all the Hunting Dogs , seemingly knowing the Agency doctor's execution date, which he later tells a hospitalized Kunikida during their conversations , horrified the man, before walking away and sinisterly smiling and chuckling to himself. Jouno's statement about Yosano's execution fueled Kunikida's desire to escape and proves the Agency's innocences to the Hunting Dogs, the polices, and the goverment, which the Agency and their allies suceed partially , as there're still obstacles to their freedom.
Tecchou doing push-ups while Jouno stands on him
Their next interaction is featured when Jouno welcomes Tachihara back, and congratulates him on successful mafia infiltration. He then proceeds to delievers him the disciplinarian tasks on their two rather eccentric teammates, the wailing Teruko who is crying non-stop , and a scatterbrained Tecchou whom had been observing an ant colony for eight hours straight ever since his arrival and will be soon turning to the push-up activity. During their meeting together, Jouno is sitting on a chair and listens as Tachihara briefs the Hunting Dogs about the Decay of Angels, while Tecchou is seen doing push-ups while in a meeting next to Jouno's chair. Getting annoyed by Tecchou's workout, Jouno steps on his body and stated that muscles training is banned during meetings. Tecchou stays unperturbed, even going as far as to describe Jouno's weight as "just right", and continue to do push-ups while the white-haired man stands on him like nothing happens. Jouno meanwhile continue to discuss with Tachihara and Teruko about the Decay of Angels whilst standing on Tecchou's back like nothing happen. Though it's unknown whenever if Jouno truly enjoy standing on Tecchou while he do push up or not, or he was just reprimands Tecchou for its, but he did its nevertheless.
Tecchou watches with a bemused expression as Jouno threatening him with imminent death
Later on in the same chapter, they are shown entering Café Uzumaki together to gather information while arguing about who could be the "Greatest Hunting Dog" out of the two of them. As the title currently belongs to Tecchou, Jouno believes that such title should belong to someone with impressive investigation and capturing skills, unlike Tecchou's pure fighting ability and physical strength that earned him such feat. Tecchou watches him with a bemused expression for a moment before letting out a slight laugh (notably one of the only scenes where Tecchou smiles). Jouno responds darkly, threatening Tecchou with imminent death. They take a seat at the bar with Jouno orders a normal latte, while Tecchou requests for a soy sauce latte, which clearly annoys the white-haired man. Tecchou's unique choices of foods surpises the barista who repeats "soy sauce" to make sure his ears is not mistaken, which result in Jouno telling the bartender to get Tecchou the same drink as him in order to avoid further confusion due to the ravenette's choice of food. Jouno proposes a battle: Which person can find out the location of the Detective Agency first? Tecchou agrees to the challenge casually, and Jouno turned his attentions to the barista , and immediately begins interrogating him , while Tecchou silently watches everything.
Tecchou stabbing Jouno's foot for his interrogation tactics
Quickly, the simple questioning turns into Jouno figures out the barista hides Lucy from them and begin taunting him with his own lies, while Tecchou watches thing unfolds between Jouno and the barista in silence. Just as he is about to make the poor barista crack, Tecchou decides to takes actions and stabs Jouno's foot with his sword, earning a yelp from the white-haired man. Jouno shouts out in pain, questioning his motives. Tecchou reprimands him 'on the commander's behalf' and scolds his tendencies to taking his time to find people's sore spots and torment them with its to extract intel. Afterwards, Tecchou then takes over the questioning, demonstrating his negotitation skills by vowing to the barista that Lucy will receive no charges and that the Armed Detective Agency will receive a fair trial, while Jouno sits beside with a sulking expression and watching the whole thing unfolds between Tecchou and the barista. An agitates Jouno asks what he's doing, attempting to stop him, but concedes to Tecchou's fair proposition in the end. He internally wonders if he lost the interrogation competition against Tecchou in the end. The barista then implores the two Jouno and Tecchou to save Lucy and proves the Agency's innocence, and reveals to them that she has headed to the Sky Casino, the same place Teruko and Tachihara happen to be heads to.
Jouno, Tecchou and the other Hunting Dogs listen to Tachihara's report about the bizarre infection-like incident within the Mafia
Later, during the Vampire Infection arc, two weeks after Fukuchi's returns from Standard Island aboard the Boswellian, Jouno and Tecchou were present in a meeting alongside with the others Hunting Dogs and their commander Fukuchi, where they asks to hear Tachihara's report. With a grim expression on his face, Tachihara reports to Jouno, Tecchou and the others Hunting Dogs about the bizarre infection-like incident within the Mafia and that he barely managed to escape. Though Teruko chides him for how idiotic he reacted, she nevertheless believes Tachihara's story, as it coincides with recent disappearances of various mafiosi, which concernes the Hunting Dogs. Jouno conjectures it might be terrorism using an infection-type ability , and suggests containment as soon as possible, but Teruko thinks otherwise. Teruko suggests going directly after the source of the infection, as it was one of the fastest way to solve the vampirism epidemic. Replied to Teruko's statement, Tecchou believes that the one who reponsible for this infection-like incident happen to be the Armed Detective Agency, being the timing, and this happen their next terrorist acts . Tecchou's speech triggers Jouno to sarcastically compliment him for his idea, saying that he'll mark the ravenette's being reasonable for once on his calendar . Tecchou is seemingly unfazed by this and asks Jouno "What?". Teruko meanwhile states that everything has gone even more complicated and they need to take care of this soon, while Tachihara subtly implies that the Agency cannot possibly be terrorists in the meeting with Jouno, Tecchou and the others Hunting Dogs, hence he requests them to allow him to reinvestigate the case. However, others Hunting Dogs , such as Jouno, Tecchou and Teruko are still with doubts , and needs some more confirmations, therefore they turns to their commander Fukuchi for his approvals of Tachihara's investigation.
After Fukuchi reluctantly approves to Tachihara's investigations, Jouno interferes , and reminds Fukuchi that the evidences, include the flash drives, which Tachihara present them may be another fake one planted by the Agency to disturb the investigations , and further says that if these evidences were to be leaks outside, it may cause confusion. Adressing Jouno's concerns, Tecchou crosses his arms , and then remarks that Fukuchi nonetheless believes in the possibility that the Agency may not truly be terrorists as he previously said to the UN delegates, to which Jouno eventually relents albeit not without doubts , and the same can be said with Teruko. The Hunting Dogs eventually concedes and end the meeting for now, and allow Tachihara to do his investigation as per Fukuchi's commands , and orders , though conservatives members like Jouno are still not willing to accepts its and are suspicious about the evidences and the idea of the Agency being innocents.
Again, Tecchou stabs Jouno in the butt as he questions Aya
Later at an airport, Jouno, Tecchou and Teruko all gathers in one location, and they review their operation: the legendary device One Order shall be brought to the airport very soon, with the Hunting Dogs acts as the escort to protect such improtant device from being tampered, while 18 fake transport operations are to be deploys , with their commander Fukuchi has warns them that the Agency detective Ranpo Edogawa shall see through the counterfeits and deduce the real weapon, therefore they should be on guard and always prepare should such situation arrived, such as prepares fake ones and multiple transportation . Seeing it as quite bothersome, Jouno recommends taking someone close to the Agency as a hostage to threaten them with, much to the eavesdropping Aya's shock. With his enhanced senses, Jouno notices the eavesdropping Aya's presence thanks to his enhanced sensory perception and stepped closer to her, no matter how hard she tried to hide from Jouno and the others Hunting Dogs. He then proceed to deduces that she was lying by analyzes her heartbeats, while Tecchou and the other Hunting Dogs stand in the sidelines and watches things unfolds. As Aya repulses over his thinking, Jouno further threatening her life and questioning her, asking her if she would like to "become a part of his pleasure", until Tecchou decides to that he have enough with Jouno's antics , and intervening just in times, telling him to stop by lengthening his sword and hitting Jouno, causing the white-haired man to yelped in pain. Tecchou chastises him for using innocent people as pleasure, in which Jouno remarks angrily that Tecchou could've just used his voice instead of stabbing him every single time, indicating this wasn't the first time Tecchou did this to Jouno. Jouno lies that he was only looking for cooperation, in which Tecchou disagrees and say he should only do such after Aya had signed a consent form for Judicial Transactions. Ticked off, Jouno provokes Tecchou into settling the debate by blades instead of words, but they're both stopped by Fukuchi, who issues his final preparation orders before the operation and commends Anya for her work, before requests Jouno to meet up with him alone. Jouno then walks away with Fukuchi, leaves Tecchou and Teruko behind, not knowing it would lead to his demises , and leaving Tecchou concerns and worries.
Tecchou's determination to finds Jouno
Not long after, Jouno is offered by Fukuchi to join his forces. A intense conflicts ensues and Jouno gets defeated by Fukuchi , and gets bitten by Akutagawa , and is now undead and missing. With this event, Tecchou goes out to looks for Jouno, presumably concerned for his partner and encounters Kenji, Aya and Bram in the airport. As Aya and Bram escape per Kenji's instructions, Tecchou turns his attention to Kenji and clarifies that his business is with the Agency, and asks for Jouno's whereabouts since he have gone missing, further expresses that Tecchou cares and worried for his partner Jouno, and willing to went out to look for him and bring him back and make sure his partner is safe. Kenji cheerfully offers to helps him find Jouno, and Tecchou, taken aback, smiles and thanks him. Tecchou suddenly pauses , and tells Kenji to waits a minutes , and then remembers why he was here, as the Hunting Dog gets on with his business and recalls that Jouno was likely ambushed by a vampire when talking with Fukuchi based on the information and sources that he receives, reverting back to his claim that the Agency happnen to be behind Jouno's disappearance. He also demands to know why the Agency letting the leader of the vampires goes, but as Kenji open his mouth and tried to explain the reasons, Tecchou ignores Kenji's reasoning, and instead choose to strikes him with his sword. He seriously states that he needs to finds Jouno, and for that, he will take the fastest option possible, even if its means he have to uses violences towards people.
Tecchou giving Kenji one more time to confess where Jouno is
When Kenji refuses to comply with his demands, Tecchou attacks Kenji with all of his strength, and inflicts a barrage of attacks on the agency boy. Without stopping his onslaught, Tecchou asserts to Kenji that he believes everyone else misunderstands Jouno and while he may be cold, he is a hero who despises violence and protects the weak. Futhemore, as the Hunting Dog assaults Kenji with attacks, Tecchou comments to Kenji that normally he would chase down the leader of the vampires, but now for just five minutes, he will place Jouno above justice, all whilst besiege Kenji with punches and kicks. After beating Kenji to a bloody pulp, Tecchou lifts and grabs hold of Kenji's body, giving the Agency boy one more time to confess where Jouno is. Bleeding from his head, Kenji doesn't responds to Tecchou's statement which further angers the Hunting Dog further. As such, the enraged Tecchou slowly cracks Kenji's head when he suddenly receives reports from Teruko, who tolds him about her plans of torturing her captured terrorist, Atsushi in questioning and ordered Tecchou not to let anyone interfere with her plans. Kenji unfortunately being closes and overhears parts of Tecchou and Teruko's conversation about the Hunting Dogs' plan to torture their captive to spit out their plans for terrorism, which fueled Kenji's angers and menacing side to come out as he begins to turns the battle into his favors.
Kenji offering to help Tecchou looking for Jouno
Shortly after, Kenji, upon awakens his hidden anger courtesy of his ability and from heard about the Hunting Dogs' plan to torture their captive, Atsushi, turns the tides of battle and effortlessly gains an upper-hand against Tecchou, overwhelming the Hunting Dog , and defeats him. Tecchou gets thrashed by Kenji and crashes heavily in the wall resulting to him being unable to move due to the injuries, thus indirectly obstructed his goal to find Jouno. Kenji approaches the clobbered Tecchou, who is bleeding and wounded, with looming presence as if preparing to deliver the final blow. Instead of fighting anymore, a wounded Tecchou accepts his defeats, closing his eyes and telling him to kill him as he have no right to be a Hunting Dog himself. He bitterly thinks about Jouno with a clear mind, realizing that Jouno would never tell him to abandon the mission and look for him, as well as fails his friends , and misjudges Kenji, and thus not worthy of being a Hunting Dog, and all while prepares for his impending fate under Kenji's hands should the latter choose to do so. Instead of killing the Hunting Dog, Kenji choose to spare Tecchou's life and reaches his hand to him, offering to help look for Jouno once more. Nevertheless, worn out from their fight, both Tecchou and Kenji ends up collapsing and doze off, apparently too exhausted to even standing up, let alone finding Jouno and bring him back, but not before introduces each other's names. Tecchou and Kenji happen to be seen again in the Season 5 ending, now fully awake and presumably prepares to search for Jouno, through it's unknown if they suceeds in finding Jouno or not , or perhaps they happen to be still searching for Jouno. With the merging of Ōchi Fukuchi, Shintō Amenogozen, and the Holy Sword Soluz Levni , its unknown what happens to Tecchou , and Kenji , and whenever they have been able to finds Jouno or not , or perhaps if something happen to Tecchou , and Kenji , and whenever they're still alive , or perhaps not.
