Comrades unable to grasp
The mystery of the gambling enthusiast and the radio cassette mystery
——What kind of character is Arisugawa Dice?
Nozuyama: He is someone with gap in appearance. The first time I saw his visual, I got the impression that he would absolutely tear down any guy with his fighting spirit. But as I got to know his character, I noticed that he has a childish or like a youngest child side. If you just look at Fling Posse, you would think he’s probably the oldest one, but he’s actually the youngest. By the way, he’s the heaviest of the 12 characters, weighing in at 77kg. He’s surprisingly well built, could it be because of the weight of that radio cassette he has in the first illustration…
Saburo: Tomorrow is my first territory battle. I came to Ichi-nii’s room on a whim, but if I could get some advice for tomorrow, it would make me feel a little more at ease.
Saburo: Ok!
Jiro: Hey, Saburo! I’ll treat you to some food so come with me for a bit.
Saburo: Why do I have to go have a meal with you?
Jiro: Tch, as always you’re arrogant and not cute at all.
Jiro: So-Sorry, Niichan, it took me a while to get ready.
Ichiro: Ha. Jiro you have a habit of procrastinating until the last minute; you better fix that. And you would always forget something when we’re going out. Did you make sure you have your Chuuouku District permit?
Jiro: Of course, because without it I wouldn’t be allowed to enter. Um, I’m pretty sure it was over here… Ah, that’s right, I left on my desk in my room so I wouldn’t forget it. Sorry, I’ll go get it now!
