History

Biography

Twenty years ago, Tsurube was assigned to watch over Kouzuki Oden and direct him into pot of boiling oil for his execution. When Oden turned to Kurozumi Orochi and Kaidou, and requested a chance to survive, Tsurube mocked him and hurried him into the boiling oil. However, he accidentally slipped and fell into the pot himself, immediately receiving fatal burns and perishing in front of the onlookers after barely climbing out of the oil.

Trivia

Summary

He is likely named after Careless Hachibe (うっかり八兵衛, Ukkari Hachibē?), a character from the long-running Japanese period drama Mito Kōmon. "Tsuru" may be derived from tsurutsuru (つるつる?), the Japanese onomatopoeia for something slippery, as he slipped and fell into the boiling oil.
