Description
Life Cool is a character from the anime Yurikuma Arashi, where he serves as the prosecutor of the Life Judgement Guys, a trio of bear-like beings who preside over the Yuri Trials. He is distinguished by his glasses and pale blue hair and eyes. In keeping with his name, Life Cool typically speaks in a calm, collected, and measured manner, rarely raising his voice or losing composure. However, he is frequently flustered by the unpredictable behavior of his colleague Life Beauty, which creates a contrast between his disciplined demeanor and the chaos around him. His frequent catchphrase is the remark that something or someone is cool.
Life Cool’s primary motivation is to uphold the strict procedures of the Yuri Trials and deliver verdicts according to the rules of the court. He takes his role as prosecutor seriously, approaching each case with a stern and rigorous attitude, yet he occasionally reveals a more human, compassionate side that suggests he is not entirely cold hearted. His role in the story is that of an antagonist figure within the surreal trial framework, passing judgment on those accused of transgressions related to love and desire. He is part of a trio that includes Life Beauty and Life Sexy, and his dynamic with them, especially his exasperated reactions to Life Beauty, forms a running source of tension and humor.
In the animated series, Life Cool is revealed to be a bear, a fact that aligns with the overarching theme of bears disguised as humans. His appearance includes bear ears and paws, though he wears human clothing and glasses. Development is limited; he remains a static, symbolic figure representing the cold, inflexible side of judgment, in contrast to the more passionate or sensual aspects embodied by his colleagues. His notable ability is his role as prosecutor, which includes the power to declare a defendant guilty and likely to influence the outcome of the trials, though the exact extent of his authority is ambiguous. In the manga adaptation, Life Cool is a member of the student council at Arashigaoka Academy rather than a prosecutor, but his core personality and role as a judicious, easily flustered figure remain consistent.
