Mad Comic Dialogue

**Mad Comic Dialogue** was a rap group consisting of Samatoki Aohitsugi and Sasara Nurude. Later, they were joined by Naughty Busters' Ichiro Yamada and Kuko Harai.

## Story

During the turf wars across Ikebukuro, Samatoki Aohitsugi and Sasara Nurude formed a team, known as Mad Comic Dialogue and became one of the leading powers in the division, rivaled only by the Stairway to Heaven. Suddenly, Samatoki and Sasara found out that their territories had been claimed by Naughty Busters, consisting of Ichiro Yamada and Kuko Harai. Despite the duo's known affiliation with the Stairway to Heaven, Mozuku Shito claimed that they cut their ties with the organization.

Mad Comic Dialogue confronted Naughty Busters in a rap battle before Mozuku revealed that it was his plan to let Naughty Busters to handicap Mad Comic Dialogue's presence in the division without an all-out war and take down four of them without effort. However, Mad Comic Dialogue and Naughty Busters joined their forces against Mozuku and defeated the Stairway to Heaven. Ichiro and Kuko eventually joined Samatoki and Sasara's team, merging two teams together.

The new Mad Comic Dialogue didn't last long, since Sasara and Kuko were mindhacked by Ramuda Amemura who used the true Hypnosis Mic and turned them against Samatoki and Ichiro. Being just a duo, Mad Comic Dialogue confronted Kujaku Posse, consisting of Ramuda and Jakurai Jinguji in a rap battle. Mad Comic Dialogue were claimed as the victors, before Ramuda and Jakurai offered them to become a team together and become a power that even the Party of Words will have to reckon with. Together, the four of them formed The Dirty Dawg, ultimately ending Mad Comic Dialogue once and for all.

* Shishikai
* Hifumi Izanami
* Doppo Kannonzaka
* Gentaro Yumeno
* Dice Arisugawa
* Ramuda Amemura

## Trivia

* Gentaro gives three manuscripts to publishers in this chapter:
	+ One about the relationship of two twins;
	+ One about a young man with a shocking identity embroiled in conspiracy;
	+ And one about two twins stopping an evil organization's human experimentation.
* These manuscripts seem to be foreshadowing revelations about Gentaro himself (he is revealed in The Loneliness, Tears, and Hope of a Puppet to have a brother who may be a twin, and says in that same track that he is not really Gentaro Yumeno; though he claims that last part to be a lie) or possible the shocking identities of the other members of Fling Posse (Ramuda's identity as a clone revealed in that same drama track, Dice's currently unknown family background).
* Ramuda seems to be ambidextrous.

## Summary

Buster Bros!!! go to the West Gate Park for a practice and Ichiro notices that they're lacking teamwork, as Jiro and Saburo are too hostile to each other to work together.

While Ichiro and Jiro were watching anime, Saburo offers Ichiro to play a board game with him and gets into another fight with Jiro. Ichiro decides that the game might help them improve their teamwork and gets the three of them to play together. The brothers progress through the game. Jiro thinks he’s winning, but Saburo activates his trap card to lead, until Jiro has a lucky draw and gets his revenge. However, they then decide to cooperate and win over Ichiro who gets a lucky draw as well.

Meanwhile, Samatoki and Jyuto arrive at Rio's campsite to grab some food he cooked for them. They compliment Rio on his cooking before Rio explains the ingredients and how he acquired them, much to the horror of Jyuto and Samatoki. Nonetheless, the two of them force their way through the rest of the meal so as to not hurt Rio’s feelings.

Ichiro ends up winning the game and Jiro and Saburo set a rematch. Ichiro is happy, thinking that now they can cooperate and they do have a shot at getting through preliminaries. Samatoki and Jyuto thank Rio for the meal and Samatoki tells them both that preliminaries for the Division Battle are coming up soon and he expects them being up for the challenge.

*From the heavens descends a Spider's Thread*

*The light leads us to a blessed world*

*Lamenting this world of anguish*

*An infant’s cry wails out once more*

*Release yourself from the pains of earthly life*

*Now, take hold of this Spider’s Thread*

*The road to paradise has opened before us*

---(Danjyo Oogumo)---

Are you insinuating my teachings are incorrect?

---(Haru Takanashi)---

No, that’s not it! I just thought that using a Mic’s power to subdue people and increase our followers isn’t… really…

---(Danjyo Oogumo)---

I see. So it seems you… don’t wish to save your grandmother after all.

---(Haru Takanashi)---

No, that’s not it!!

---(Danjyo Oogumo)---

Your grandmother

Devoted herself to us in her entirety

As family, as kindred souls

And to we, who have pledged to stand

With her in her sickbed

You do nothing but show scorn

Distancing yourself from us is to pull away from her

The very same as throwing her away...

---(Haru Takanashi)---

You’re wrong...!

---(Danjyo Oogumo)---

You, so lonely after the death of your parents

Was raised by her--your one and only relative

How must she feel to be thrown away by her beloved grandson?

Will she simply wither away in solitude?

Will she?

---(Haru Takanashi)---

I don’t want that…

---(Danjyo Oogumo)---

Are we in the wrong?

Or is it you?

Who is the one ignoring her wishes?

Is it us?

Or is it you?

Now, give me your answer.

Who is the one mistaken here?

---(Haru Takanashi)---

It’s me...

---(Danjyo Oogumo)---

Good boy.

---(Itonokai)---

Danjyo-sama. The follower from Nagoya Division holding a legal Mic appears to have gone rogue.

---(Danjyo Oogumo)---

Perfect timing. Takanashi-kun, won’t you show us a display of your faith? Head to Nagoya, and eliminate a believer.

--(Haru Takanashi)---

...Understood.

---(Danjyo Oogumo)---

From the heavens descends a Spider's Thread

This Society allows not for traitors

From the heavens descends a Spider's Thread

Prove to us your faith

Once our ideals are realized

This world will expand immeasurably

Walk together with us

Fight together with us

大丈夫だなんて無責任は言わねぇから

ついてこいよ、黙って

ブレーキの効かねぇこの感情を

灰になってでも引き連れて行く

## Summary

Knowing that they can't participate without their Hypnosis Mics, Jiro and Saburo decide to find the theives without Ichiro knowing about the whole situation. While Saburo fails to find any information online, Jiro receives a tip from Urumi that helps Saburo to find the women who pretended to be the Party of Words officials and stole their mics.

They sneak into the hideout of the yesterday's opposing team to get their mics, however, they attack them. Jiro decides to act as a decoy, distracting them while Saburo gets their mics. Jiro withstands a number of their attacks before him and Saburo get to their mics and wipe their enemies out. They walk back home, not knowing that Ichiro was outside just in case, however, he remarks that they are fine on their own.

Meanwhile, Samatoki meets with Jyuto and Rio to discuss their next battle, as Samatoki is adamant on winning. He then asks Rio about his old military comrads and Rio tells them that Ansho Iojaku, his former superior, was imprisoned and he doesn't know where is the rest of the unit. Rio then leaves them and while he was lost in thought, Kubiki, his ex-teammate, called him over.

Jakurai Jinguji/Story

## Drama Tracks/Manga

### Early Life

Jakurai was known as the legendary hitman Ill-Doc, becoming a doctor to atone for his sinful life. During junior high, Jakurai had top marks and always succeeded in ease. During that time he was close friends and classmates with Hitoya Amaguni who harbored a one-sided rivalry.

Before the H Age, at age 20 Jakurai was a doctor attending to wounded soldiers during a Middle East war zone. Jakurai was severely downcast as he wondered if he was making a difference, but nevertheless, he vigorously attended to a young wounded child who was on the brink of death. Jakurai bore utter sympathy for the child and wanted to take him in but was advised not to, and he bid farewell to Yotsutsuji and promised things would get better. Months later, Jakurai tends to the child who was severely abused at the orphanage, and when Yotsutsuji awoke he grimly called Jakurai a liar. This would cause Jakurai reoccurring nightmares.

At the age of 27 after the war, Jakurai attended to a nine-year old Yotsutsuji who suffered a traumatic head injury and lost his parents. Jakurai once more wanted to take him in but his superior ordered him otherwise, though Jakurai would visit Yotsutsuji and play with him to cheer him up. One month later, Jakurai was anguished knowing Yotsutsuji had to be sent to a children’s home, he ultimately resorted to adopting Yotsutsuji and take him in.

## Trivia

* The title might be a reference to the Beastie Boys' song Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win (listen here).
* Ramuda uses an idiom in the final line of his rap that is a play on the kanji for 'horse' (馬) in Samatoki's name. The original saying is, "Reading the nenbutsu into a horse's ear," meaning that there is no point preaching to the deaf, however, Ramuda alters the saying so that he *will* recite the nenbutsu (a Buddhist meditation chant) into this particular "horse's" ears.

Saburo Yamada/Relationships

## Jiro Yamada

Despite being closer in the past, Jiro usually fights with Saburo at every occasion (usually when it comes to Ichiro's attention). Although Jiro is always irritated by Saburo mocking him, he still loves him as his little brother and is always ready to protect him, as an older brother.

## Ichiro Yamada

Ichiro adores his brothers, Jiro and Saburo, while Saburo greatly respects him. Ichiro usually reprimands his brothers for fighting for his attention (or fighting in general), saying that they're family and should act like it.

## Hifumi Izanami

Hifumi and Saburo faced eachother in Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win. Hifumi seems to dislike Saburo's attitude, while Saburo dislikes Hifumi's flashiness. They eventually fight side by side to defeat the Tobari brothers.
Rei Amayado/Relationships

### Otome Tohoten

Although he is a man, Otome is shown to trust him with important work within Chuohku. For example, she appointed him moderator of Plunderer- which is the government database. She also trusts him enough to enter and leave Chuohku as he pleases, as she brought the microphones from him (which they needed to overthrow the government).

Even though it is unknown if she actually likes him as a person, she trusts him enough to do work within the government. Rei is shown at times (attempting) to joke around with her, but he is met with her stoicism.

### Ichiro Yamada

Not much is known about Rei and Ichiro's relationship in the past, however there is tension between the two. Although Ichiro dislikes him, Rei still shows that he looks out for him in distant ways. He knows that Ichiro dislikes him and decides to keep his distance.
He acknowledges that Ichiro's achievements are his own and he had no help achieving them, saying that he had *"Nothing to be proud of."*

When reaching out to his children again, he realised that he would have to separate Ichiro from Jiro and Saburo. This could either indicate that he wanted that distance to stay and not confront Ichiro, or because Ichiro would refuse if he was there.

When talking to Jiro and Saburo, He also calls Ichiro a 'liar' because Ichiro is hiding a secret from them. This secret is implied to be the fact that Ichiro had lied to them about Rei dying, furthermore indicating the tension between the two.
