— Sullivan, Obsolete Dream chapter 4

Sullivan (サリヴァン) is a character from Obsolete Dream. He is a demon, Kurotsuno's father, and works under Yagi. He also currently resides in Ne-no-Kuni.

Physical Description[]

Sullivan has short pale gray-yellow hair. His eyes, like Kurotsuno's, are bright yellow with black scleras. Also like his daughter, his skin is light beige and his nails are black. He wears a black suit, black tie, and Oxford shoes. His horns are similar to Kurotsuno’s left horn, forming a zigzag-like pattern and gray with three black stripes on them.

Personality[]

Sullivan seems to act rather childish at times. For instance, in chapter 4 of Obsolete Dream he is quick to cry when his daughter Kurotsuno tells him to leave and Glasses later drags him away. He is furthermore very affectionate towards his daughter and easily cries when she is cruel to him.

It seems he also can be violent and often gets into confrontations with Gyakuten, as seen in the DEEP KISS 1 & 2 mini-comics. Hanten has stated Sullivan "ain't got the best temper," [2] a trait he shares with his daughter. Sullivan uses the personal pronoun "ore," [3] [4] which in Japanese is a rough and informal way to refer to oneself.

It has been stated Sullivan used to be strict and overprotective with Olivia (Kurotsuno's name before she became a demon) in the past. [5] An older illustration of him also includes the text "helicopter parenting," hinting more at this side of him.

Despite being a demon, Sullivan has various health issues. His profile states he suffers from asthma due to an ulcer. He also suffers from hay fever. [6] Supplementary illustrations mention he has hemorrhoids which have not cleared up as well. [7] He is furthermore sleep deprived, [8] and does not like drinking. Sullivan's cooking is not bad but not good either. [7] His favorite foods are coffee and chocolate. [9]

Background[]

As shown in Obsolete Dream, Sullivan grew up in Ne-no-Kuni. It was stated in an illustration he had a complicated upbringing. He also often fought with Gyakuten when he was younger, as he does now. [10]

Notably, Sullivan used to wear a red tie instead of black in the past. His introduction on the Obsolete Dream page also mentions he always wears mourning clothing, furthermore hinting at his past.

In Mogeko Castle, a note can be found on the ground strongly implied to be written by Sullivan as it says, "I love you, Olivia..... - Papa."

At some point in the past, Sullivan began working under Yagi. He lives by himself near the company he works for and not in Castle Town. [7] The reason for this will be revealed in a comic. [7]

Relationships[]

Relatives[]

Kurotsuno[]

Kurotsuno is Sullivan's daughter, and she is particularly hostile towards him. He, instead of calling her by her current name, calls her by her past name "Olivia," something that triggers a strong negative reaction from her and usually leads to violent actions toward him. He also refers to her as "kimi," which in Japanese is a very informal and familiar way of saying "you." [4] When Kurotsuno was younger however, they got along well.

Sullivan and Olivia used to have a happy relationship.

Sullivan does not understand why Kurotsuno acts the way she does. It is unclear whether he is aware she does not want to be called by her former name. He worries about their relationship and ceaselessly tries to patch it, but to no avail. Much to Kurotsuno's dismay he also coddles her, being concerned about her daily consumption of chocolate and sweets. [11]

Kurotsuno's resentment for her father seems to be traceable to their relationship when she still went by the name Olivia. During a livestream, Deep-Sea Prisoner stated, "Back when Kurotsuno was a human, her family relationship wasn't too great. Her father became just a bit too strict. And while he wasn't the scary type, he was kinda overprotective. So after becoming a demon, Kurotsuno's frustrations pent up all at once." [5]

There have been indications their relationship is not fully unamendable. For one, Kurotsuno calls Sullivan "dad" or "papa", which indicates she still acknowledges him as her father. Furthermore, in Obsolete Dream chapter 5 , Kurotsuno's best friend Hanten tells Sullivan "...if you keep hesitating, [Kurotsuno] really IS going to hate you", implying Kurotsuno does not truly despise her father. When Kurotsuno went to visit Sullivan in chapter 7 , Hanten also commented, "Going to visit him despite everything... You never change, eh?"

Obsolete Dream Cast[]

Maekami[]

Maekami is Sullivan's bartender and acquaintance. They are on very friendly terms, with Maekami attempting to cheer up Sullivan whenever matters with his daughter get to him, explaining she's merely being contrarian and will understand how he feels someday. Maekami even informs Kurotsuno about Sullivan’s feelings and how much he misses her, showing he feels bad for him. When they were younger, Maekami would stop Sullivan and Gyakuten from fighting, as it was mostly Sullivan getting one-sidedly beaten up.

Gyakuten[]

Gyakuten and Sullivan have known each other since they were young and are not on good terms. Gyakuten occasionally bullies and tortures Sullivan, whilst Sullivan is often defenseless in these situations. Gyakuten refers to Sullivan as "temee," a derogatory way of saying "you." [4]

Chishibuki[]

Chishibuki and Sullivan are on bad terms. Together with her husband Gyakuten, Chishibuki likes torturing Sullivan. In chapter 7 of Obsolete Dream she also forced Sullivan to eat a mysterious and grotesque dish she had prepared for him.

Yagi[]

Yagi is Sullivan's boss. Sullivan is Yagi's "favorite subordinate" according to Deep-Sea Prisoner. [12] He cannot reject Yagi's orders. [12] In one mini-comic, Yagi forced Sullivan to drink with him.

Glasses[]

Glasses is Sullivan's underling. They both work for Yagi. They seem to be on good terms despite Glasses having gone to retrieve Sullivan back to work as shown in Obsolete Dream. Glasses assists Sullivan with his work. [13] Since both work for the same company, they live fairly close to each other. [7]

Other Characters[]

Mogeko[]

Mogeko have mistreated and assaulted Sullivan on multiple occasions. He in turn dislikes them. A letter written by him can be found in Mogeko Castle where he declares his fear and hatred for them. In DEEP KISS 1 & 2, he was assaulted by a Mogeko after Kurotsuno had shoved it in his face and cried afterwards. He also once got scared of Kurotsuno dressing up as a Mogeko in an artwork.

Abilities[]

Natural Abilities[]

  • Nigh-Absolute Immortality - Being a demon, Sullivan cannot die from natural causes such as aging or disease. [14] [15]
  • Regenerative Healing Factor - Being a demon, he is able to regenerate body parts, even guts and bones. [16]
  • Ambidexterity - He is naturally ambidextrous. [17]
  • Animal Transformation - He is able to transform into a crow and fly.

Trivia[]

  • Diamond

    The icon on the handkerchief

    On page 10 of Obsolete Dream chapter 7 , Sullivan is shown with a handkerchief; it has white and black diamonds on it. This image was uploaded separately to funamusea.com two days before the Japanese release of chapter 7.
  • From 28 June to 3 August, 2017, Deep-Sea Prisoner hosted a popularity poll that let people vote on their three most favorite characters of hers. When the results came out on 7 September, 2017, Sullivan was ranked 17th. [18]

Quotes[]

It was hard getting today off, you know?! And when I call you, you never answer, and when you do you just berate me and hang up!
Why would you be so cruel?
Sullivan, Obsolete Dream chapter 4

"To whomever should read this letter:
By the time you read this, I am surely gone.
This castle is dangerous.
You must find some means of escape.
If you cannot escape this place, you will never elude the Mogekos...
They are persistent. Oddly, no matter where I hide, they're always come right for me.
Hide, and hide, and hide...
They always find me soon enough...
And I kill and kill them... but there's no end...
They come one after another.
.....This is no more than a hypothesis, but perhaps they are.....
It seems they're back again.
I know it's futile, but I will run.
While I can still move...
I wanted to say a final goodbye to my daughter...
I'm sorry I've failed as a father...
I love you, Olivia....."
– Papa

Letter found in Mogeko Castle
