Personality[]
Sakuya is described to be a womanizer with a talent for acting.[2] He also takes pride in his skills as an actor, looking down on the likes of Melt Narushima for his admittingly sub-par acting. In a way, he uses his acting skills to justify his womanizing ways, refusing to take criticism from anyone whose abilities he considers below his own.
Plot[]
2.5D Stage Play[]
Sakuya first appear during the first cast meeting for the Tokyo Blade 2.5D stage adaptation, introduced by Sumiaki Raida as someone who has "tons of 2.5D experience"[3]. He then was shown acting during the read-through session, immediately after the cast meeting[4], and later on during the third day of rehearsals, he spoke with Akane Kurokawa regarding the character Kana is playing, Tsurugi.[5]
Sakuya can be seen along the cast as Toshirou Kindaichi announced the cancellation of rehearsal due to the script being rewritten[6]. Once the script is rewritten, Sakuya was shown with everyone else elated at the changes the script brought,[7] and was there when Aqua Hoshino has a panic attack, wondering if Aqua had a hangover.[8]
Sakuya approached Minami Kotobuki, who was accompanying Ruby Hoshino to visit Aqua in the rehearsal set, and attempts to exchange contact with her, but he was interrupted by Melt Narushima who said that the director is calling him.
It was revealed later that Melt was lying, as he was trying to keep things professional due to Minami being Aqua's sister's friend. Sakuya, however, dismissed Melt's concern and derided him for thinking himself to be a professional, and stated that Melt is the worst actor in the play, and his presence brought the quality of the play down due to his inability to act. Sakuya ended the conversation by saying that Melt has no right to criticize him.[9]
At one point before the opening night during rehearsal, Sakuya pointed out to Melt about Himekawa's exceptional acting, and how the talented line up would easily expose Melt's terrible acting to everyone.[10]
In the opening act of the play, Sakuya played Monme, and Melt played his adversary, Kizami. His acting was enough to make Melt wonder if he was the same person, since his personality is completely different from the character he is playing.[11]
As the scene continues between the two, Sakuya realized that Melt's ability is still barely better than amateurs. Frustrated, he grits his teeth and pressured Melt with a deadly glare. After a big choreographed scene, Sakuya noticed that Melt is still not out of breath, recognizing how serious Melt is taking his rehearsals. However, Sakuya knew that the audience still think Melt is bad. Sakuya then was taken aback as Melt executed a sword maneuver that amazes the audience.[12]
Sakuya brushes off the display as he continued to act the scene out with Melt, thinking that if Melt can't deliver a good acting, the display is meaningless. However, Melt delivered an emotional acting that surprises Sakuya. After their scene is over, Sakuya praises Melt, saying that his acting was completely different from the rehearsals, and his demeanor changes completely towards Melt as he recognizes Melt as an actor.[13]
Sakuya continues acting as Monme, as he now face off against Kana Arima, playing as Tsurugi. Sakuya's line was interrupted by a sound effect, but Kana adlibbed a response that matches perfectly with her character, which made Sakuya acknowledge Kana as a veteran actor because her improvisation and level of experience made her easy to act with. Sakuya then can be seen acting alongside Aqua, playing as Touki, and Akane, playing as Princess Sayahime.[14]
As the play reaches its climax, Sakuya (as Monme) acts alongside the rest of the cast, announcing the fate of the character Princess Sayahime.[15] He then can be seen bowing alongside the rest of the cast at the curtain call for the opening night of the play.[16]
