I don't think Tanaka's initial disrespect is entirely unreasonable. She may have respected the MC's mom, but what she knew of the MC is that he bummed his way around the world on his parent's dime. For a driven, no nonsense woman like Tanaka I'm sure that made a terrible first impression - especially when the MC's first proper interaction with her was to hit on her. Once it becomes clear the MC is capable of applying himself, Tanaka warms to him quickly.Why is chef Tanaka so disrespectful in the beginning? It's strange because she later confesses she respected your mother very much.
If I respected someone who then died, I certainly wouldn't be rude towards their still-grieving child (who actually lost both parents).
I avoided Tanaka as much as I could on my Jaye-only playthrough and this has led to a game over in the last chapter. It's also bc I threw Christian offboard myself, but it just felt weird asking my sister to beat up a guy.
This really sucks, I either need to start a game from scratch or change variables which I know from experience can potentially lead to crashes later on
That said, I suspect the real reason Tanaka comes on so strong initially is to give the player a sense of accomplishment when we manage to tame her later. Whether it was a good idea to make that path necessary to complete the game (at least under some circumstances) is a separate question.
