Moebius

    Nobutaka Osanai 

Nobutaka Osanai

Voiced by: Eiji Takeuchi (Japanese), Kaiji Tang (English), Javi Sánchez (Latin American Spanish)

Portrayed by: Yoshiki Minato (film), Kenta Arata (stage play)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/osanai.png

Osanai is the 8th leader of the famous Moebius gang and one of the most feared men in society.


  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: He's a Boxing Battler whose skills are on par with his ego and cruelty.
  • Berserk Button: People looking down on him, as Takemichi quickly finds out.
  • Boxing Battler: Osanai is a trained boxer, making him a fearsome opponent during fights. According to the character book, his dream is to run a club someday.
  • Break the Haughty: Osanai starts off as a mean, cocky and shameless bully. However, his humiliating defeat at the hands of Mikey, getting stabbed by Pah-chin, and most of all Kisaki's manipulation leave a lasting effect on him. After Moebius disbands, he's too afraid of Kisaki to dare do anything to him. In the original timeline where Draken died, he's a shell of his former self by the time Naoto and Takemichi meet up with him, having turned into an Extreme Doormat and his boss's favorite punchbag.
  • Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Invoked. He admires John Travolta and visibly modelled his appearance and attitude after him — specifically his character in Grease.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: He easily beats Pah-chin... before getting taken out in one kick by Mikey.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Very much so.
    Pah-chin: You bastard.
    Osanai: Hey, I'm two years older than you. That's Mr. Bastard to you.
  • Delinquent Hair: A bleached elephant trunk.
  • Dumb Muscle: A self-aware example. He admits that fighting was the only thing he was good at before meeting Kisaki, and that he wouldn't have ended up in a position of power without help.
  • Extreme Doormat: Present-day Osanai apologizes a lot and is regularly abused by his boss without ever fighting back — getting yelled at for taking lunch breaks despite coming back in time to work and getting calls during his interrogation with Naoto and Takemichi.
  • Extremity Extremist: The series' boxing expert, for whatever good it does him.
  • Future Loser: In the original present timeline, Draken's death caused Osanai to go from a cruel, cocky and infamous gang leader and boxer to a wood worker who gets regularly pushed around by his boss. When Takemichi encounters his younger self, he's shocked at how different the man in front of him is from the one he met in the present and wonders if they're even the same person.
  • Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Past Osanai has narrow, harsh-looking eyes with smaller irises than his present self, whose eyes are noticeably larger and softer.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: He's very irritable as a teenager, punching Takemichi for looking at him in a way that he disliked and admitting to beating up anyone who got on his nerves.
  • Hidden Depths: He's a John Travolta fan.
  • How the Mighty Have Fallen: Present-day Osanai is a construction worker with apparent health issues and a meek personality, as opposed to his proud, strong past self who led a large and infamous gang. Takemichi himself has trouble believing that the Osanai he met in 2017 and the one from 2005 are the same person.
  • Toothy Issue: He's missing a tooth as an adult.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Osanai and his men brutalized Pah-chin's friend then assaulted his girlfriend in front of him. Draken says that Moebius strayed from the path of true delinquents by doing this. However, Osanai later reveals that it was actually Kisaki who orchestrated the whole thing as part of his plan to infiltrate Toman.
  • Red Is Violent: A vicious gang leader with wine red as his image color. He also wears a red uniform as the Moebius leader, unlike regular members' white attire.
  • Scars Are Forever: He has a large scar on his forehead. It still hasn't healed as an adult.
  • Shrinking Violet: In the present timeline, Osanai is nothing like his teenage self and has become quite shy and timid. His response to being asked about what happened in the original timeline reveals that Kisaki's manipulation had put a toll on him.
  • Smoking Is Cool: He smokes during Moebius's confrontation with Toman, as he taunts Mikey and beats Pah-chin with just a few punches.
  • Smug Snake: Osanai is incredibly confident in his abilities and makes several jabs at the Toman members for being younger than him, convinced that their age difference alone makes them incapable of facing him and Moebius. Mikey very quickly proves him wrong.
  • Sore Loser: He attempts to attack Mikey In the Back with a broken bottle after losing against him. Luckily, Draken easily stops him.
  • Trash Talk: Osanai puts a lot of effort into making fun of Toman and its members, even engaging in some Snark-to-Snark Combat with Mikey, to his men's greatest pleasure.
    Mikey: You're just as shitty as I imagined you'd be, Osanai-kun.
    Osanai: (with a hand behind his ear) HUH?!? Can't hear ya, you're too shrimpy!
  • Underestimating Badassery: Tries to declare that he's going to beat Mikey in ten seconds. He ends up eating the dirt before fully finishing his sentence.
  • The Worf Effect: The ease with which he defeated Pah-chin, who was said to be able to take down entire gangs alone, shows how strong Osanai is. Mikey makes him look like a kindergartner.
