Straight Cougar character guide
Straight Cougar is a supporting figure in s-CRY-ed, a Sunrise action series built around Alter users, Lost Ground survival, and HOLY’s campaign to control native ability users.
Who they are
Straight Cougar, age 21 (first appearing in Episode 2), is a laid back member of HOLY, and does not seem to think twice about breaking the rules. His philosophy on life: the faster you do one thing, the more time you have for the next thing. He is usually found carrying around a book he never seems to have time to finish. He has problems remembering names, especially Mimori Kiryu’s and Kazuma’s (tending to call Kazuma “Kazuya” and Mimori “Minori”). In the anime version, Cougar holds romantic feelings for Mimori. He also knew Kazuma as a child and was the originator of the Bullet moves (Shocking First Bullet and so on), that Kazuma originally used, only he calls the last bullet Rapid-Kill Final Bullet instead of Exterminating Last Bullet. He and Kazuma had a brotherly relationship. Although they often refer to each other as brothers, there is no concrete information to show that they are
Role in the story
Straight Cougar matters because the series frames power through personal loyalty: Kazuma’s street-level independence, Ryuho’s institutional duty, Kanami and Mimori’s human stakes, and HOLY’s pressure all collide as the Lost Ground conflict escalates.
Personality and abilities
The character’s story is tied to Alter power politics rather than a simple tournament ladder. PopRot describes their strengths by how they affect choices, alliances, rescues, and rivalries, with combat abilities explained only where source metadata confirms them.
