Thugs (Happy Sugar Life)

The thugs are a pair of minor antagonist in Happy Sugar Rush.

They first appear when Asahi was posting missing person reports on his sister, Shio. When Asahi accidentally bumps into them, the pair proceed to brutalize the young boy. They would've killed him had it not have been for Taiyo's intervention. After Asahi recuperated from the experience, he goes out to search for his sister again. Unbeknownst to him, Taiyo developed an obsession with his sister and was out browsing the streets. Taiyo happens upon the young Shio and immediately becomes enamored with her. After begging her to "kiss his boo boo away," Taiyo considers taking her home so that he could "touch her" as well.

As he was about to leave with Shio, the same thugs from before ambush him and pulverize him. Growing bored of him, they notice Shio, and one suggests that they take her to the police station for a reward. The other thug declines proposing that they use the girl as bait and they lure Asahi to the park so that they could beat him again. Without warning, Satou arrives to the park, wearing a hoodie as well as sporting a bag. She lures one of the thugs towards her using her feminine charm only to taser him the moment she wrapped her arms around his neck. The other thug becomes enraged and attempts to tackle her only to be knocked out by the bag. Satou then produces a knife and grizzly kills both of the thugs. Reports of the attack claim that the unknown assailant gouged their eyes out before leaving. Unfortunately, Taiyo regains enough consciousness to witness Satou take Shio, thus coming to the conclusion that Satou was holding her hostage.
