Movie
Description
Sasara Nurude, operating under the stage name Tragic Comedy, leads the Osaka Division's rap team Dotsuitare Hompo. He is a professional manzai comedian renowned for expertly eliciting laughter during performances. His comedic approach persists relentlessly offstage, frequently incorporating tacky or ill-timed gags regardless of circumstance, even during tense situations. This unwavering joke-telling defines his cheerful and calm personality, though underlying intelligence surfaces when necessary.
Before establishing Dotsuitare Hompo, Sasara performed in a manzai duo alongside Rosho Tsutsujimori under the same team name. Following their disbandment, he pursued a solo comedy career. The duo's name was later revived for their rap team when both reunited under Rei Amayado's influence to represent Osaka. His comedy background fundamentally shapes his rap battle tactics and leadership style.
Visually, Sasara possesses ombre-green hair and typically closed eyes, stylized as "fox eyes" in Japanese media. He wears an orange-and-brown houndstooth patterned suit, white shirt, pink tie, and black shoes, with tragus piercings on both ears. He often carries a harisen (Japanese comedy fan), mirroring the fan-shaped lapel pin on his suit. His Hypnosis Microphone features a gold ribbon design with fan decorations and a stand shaped like a maneki-neko flanked by koban coins; the central coin bears the word "rhyme."
Within the narrative, Sasara actively champions Osaka's cultural identity. His duet with Kuko Harai, "NuruSara's Division Rep Battle" (a manga bonus track), exemplifies this through lyrical exchanges celebrating regional cuisine like takoyaki and okonomiyaki, landmarks such as Tsutenkaku Tower, and Osaka's comedy culture, contrasting Kuko's Nagoya pride. The song frames their interaction as a lighthearted television-style competition, highlighting Sasara's showmanship and dedication to his division.
His relationship dynamics, particularly with Rosho, involve navigating past tensions from their duo's dissolution while sustaining collaboration within Dotsuitare Hompo. Sasara's leadership leverages his comedic roots to unify the team, employing humor as both a performance tool and social strategy. This approach extends beyond his team, often diffusing conflict through jokes.
