Mr. Marui is a deeply suspicious-looking hulk of grizzled muscle and fat, drawn with the rough-hewn lines of a 70s shonen hero, who is constantly being mistaken for a criminal, despite his essential good nature. He kills in every scene he's in with his appearance alone; when you add in his habit of getting the crap kicked out of him, either by his own daughters or the police who are inevitably called on him when he's seen in public with them, well...the Looney Tunes would be proud. Oh, and by the by, the character designs—with their swollen M&M heads, crescent-moon mouths, single teeth, and Betty Boop bodies—are straight-up grotesque.
