| “ | Aww, why the long face? Reckoned you'd be relieved to finally put this life on the lam behind you! Honestly, a little gratitude would be appreciated. Come on, let's do this proper. Can't have people casting aspersions on the great bounty hunter Mad Dog. No sir, never let it be said he shot an unarmed man in cold blood. How many times we done danced this dance now? It's almost like saying goodbye to a lover. The bard had it right... "Parting is such sweet sorrow!" | „ |
| ~ Mad Dog to Sundown. |
Mad Dog (マッド・ドッグ) is a minor antagonist turned supporting protagonist of the game Live A Live at the "Wandering" Scenario.
He acts mostly as Sundown's rival, just because he is a bounty hunter, and tracks Sundown down, so he can get his bounty. However, no matter how greedy he is, he will collaborate with anyone if extremely necessary.
He was voiced by Toshio Furukawa in Japanese and Mike Romo in English.
Biography[]
Prelude[]
Mad Dog, once again, found Sundown, as Sundown always escapes from him, he even thinks they look like lovers, just for the many times they make duels, but he was sure this time that he will kill Sundown. However, as in the past, he fails to capture Sundown, as the hero shoots near Mad's horse, making this horse to flee. Still, Sundown spares Mad Dog's life.
Duel Outside the Bar[]
After Sundown wastes a bandit from the "Crazy Bunch", everyone celebrates Sundown's victory, that's it, until Mad Dog enters the bar, to reveal that man who where praising was also a wanted criminal. Since they noted Sundown's personality, they question if he is really a criminal, however, Mad Dog still wants to kill him, and the duel starts.
As the duel started they did every step they need to do, but they didn't shot themselves, instead they shot a couple of the Crazy Bunch men that were hidden. Both, Mad Dog and Sundown did this because they knew that the Crazy Bunch was a major threat, and they need to remove them, until now Mad Dog collaborated with Sundown, and, that's when he had an idea, why not using traps?
So they made the townsfolk put traps until O. Dio arrives, as they were searching materials for these, they improvised until the 8th bell ring.
As the 8th bell ringed, the traps should be working and some or all of Dio's men (depending how much traps you did put) should be out, except for Dio himself, who carries a gattling gun on him.
Epilogue[]
When they kill O. Dio, they did notice that he converted on a horse, that horse resembles Dio's hatred according to a legend. When Mad and Sundown finally defeated the Crazy Bunch, they did square off again, but the player can decide whether to kill him or not. If the player decide to do so, Mad Dog will say "Not bad..." before he dies.
However, if the player decides to not kill him by choosing to flee, he'll pardon Sundown and leave, only to encounter Sundown again after the credits, now rising the tamed O. Dio in his horse form. After Sundown defeats him again, he shoots O. Dio, causing it to run away before leaving on his own horse. In the true ending in the Nintendo Switch remake, he is seen riding O. Dio with Sundown together, and has presumably made peace with Sundown as he knows the truth behind Sundown's bounty.
Trivia[]
- Mad Dog's namesake might come from Mad Dog McCree.
- Mad Dog may be from Texas, since he has a technique called Texas Jitterbug.
