Tetsu the Tank was a Yakuza executive of the Abegawa Tenchu Kai, a heavy-drinking bruiser whose Quirk wrapped him in laser-firing armor. He appears in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, where the vigilante Stendhal storms his organization's headquarters and cuts down its leadership in a single raid.
Sunglasses and a beard framed the face of this middle-aged criminal, whose right cheek carried an old scar. His dark hair sat above expensive taste in clothing: a pale jacket with trousers cut to match, the sort of flash expected of a Yakuza man, sometimes finished off with a scarf.
Short-fused and fond of sake, Tetsu had little patience whenever a conversation ran against him.
Drinking in a bar, Tetsu grumbles about the authorities branding his organization a villain group, and his temper flares when Rojiya Yonenaga shrugs the news off entirely. Rojiya explains that a man's code does not shift overnight, not even with All Might watching, which satisfies Tetsu enough that he pushes another round on his colleague. On the way out, Rojiya walks off with a manhole cover, so Tetsu posts a subordinate beside the open hole to keep anyone from dropping in before the police arrive.
The Abegawa Tenchu Kai headquarters is later stormed by a lone attacker, the vigilante Stendhal. Four executives answer the intrusion with their Quirks at once. Tetsu joins Haruhisa and Soji in a combined rush that forces Stendhal into the air, while Rojiya hurls his manhole cover after him with real force. The vigilante instead tastes blood from each of the four, and Bloodcurdle locks their bodies in place. One sweep of his blade finishes all of them. Tetsu's unnamed Quirk gave him command of a metal armor able to fire laser beams, the source of the nickname Tetsu the Tank.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
Tetsu, nicknamed Tetsu the Tank, is a Yakuza executive of the Abegawa Tenchu Kai in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, a heavy-drinking bruiser whose Quirk wraps him in laser-firing armor.
Tetsu's unnamed Quirk gives him a metal armor that can fire laser beams, which is why he is nicknamed Tetsu the Tank.
Tetsu was killed when the vigilante Stendhal stormed the Abegawa Tenchu Kai headquarters; after Tetsu and three other executives attacked together, Stendhal tasted their blood and Bloodcurdle immobilized them so one sword strike could finish them all.
Tetsu is short-fused and fond of sake, with little patience for conversations that go against him.
Tetsu grumbled to his colleague Rojiya Yonenaga about authorities branding their organization a villain group, growing angry when Rojiya brushed the news off, though Rojiya's reassurance that a man's code does not change overnight settled him down.
