Mustang is the CEO of Tetra Line.[2]
Profile[]
As Tetra Line is first and foremost in charge of the Ark's entertainment industry, it should come as no surprise that the man in charge is a showman himself, always entering and leaving every conversation with a boisterous "Eeenntertainment!". Despite his flamboyant attire and gratuitous mixing of multiple languages in his sentences, it should be kept in mind that he is still the ruler of one of the Big Three, the only companies allowed to create Nikkes. He's also probably the most personable of the Big Three CEOs, given Ingrid is a military-minded woman who can be a "cold drill sergeant" while still well-meaning to her Nikkes and Syuen is a spoiled brat who abuses others and powers as CEO
Interestingly enough, according to Sakura of Underworld Queen, while the CEO positions of Elysion and Missilis have regularly changed hands, Mustang was CEO of Tetra Line since the founding of the Big Three, and has held onto that crown ever since.
Personality[]
Allez! Repeat after me! Entertainment! Eeentertainment!!
Mustang introducing himself.[3]
Compared to Ingrid and Syuen, Mustang is more friendlier among the Big Three's CEOs, as he helps the protagonist by handing him the pass necessary to bypass the security, as a "debt" after hearing the Counters squad's reputation in the Ark. Mustang speaks in a rather flamboyant manner, adding French dialect to his sentences, adhering the principles of "Entertainment" as the CEO of Tetra Line. He also likes to dance, often accompanied by a disco ball. Mustang holds a strong trust in his company's Nikkes and genuinely cares for all of them, including even those from rival companies such as Julia, whose musical talents are undervalued by Syuen and dismissed as mere cannon fodder.
However much like any other superiors, he does not tolerate any incompetence that could lead Tetra's Nikkes to perilous situations.[4] He also does take any form of dishonesty either as shown with a fraudster during a contest in Coin Rush.[5]
Story[]
Chapter 5[]
Mustang's first story appearance is shortly into the chapter, where Counters has been assigned a mission to go to the research base up north in search of information about the Pilgrims. Unfortunately, said base requires a pass to enter without getting wiped out by security, which the protagonist was not provided. Just then, Mustang makes a very memorable appearance as he introduces himself to the squad, handing over a keycard which will them into the base. There's just one catch. The user first needs to perform a very complicated dance to activate the card, which Mustang demonstrates.
Trivia[]
- Mustang has the following aliases:
- The Greatest Showman in the Ark
- Boss (by Alice)[6]
- Hedonistic Dance King (by Guillotine)[7]
- In English dubbing, Mustang injects French into his sentences, while in the Korean and Japanese dubs, it's English insertions (although their dialogues still show French language).
- His theme song is called "EEEEEEEEE-ntertainment", composed by Cosmograph, in which the composer can't really remember how many E's are in the actual title.
- In the Arena, Mustang may sometimes make a reference to the meme "A Winner Is You," which was originated from the 1986 NES video game Pro Wrestling.
