Usavich (Japanese: ウサビッチ / English: Usavich), also known as Prison Rabbit, is a Japanese dialogue-free 3D comedy short animation series I. Worldview (time + space + core settings) Time: 1961, the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Space: From Soviet prison → highway escape → Moscow city → forest seclusion → mafia hideout. Tone: No dialogue, black humor, violent absurdity, mild political satire. Satirizes the rigid Soviet system and fabricated charges (Putin is branded a 'capitalist' for being drunk and skipping work). Uses the contrast of 'soft cute rabbits + hardcore violence' to deconstruct serious history, with the plot driven entirely by expressions/actions. II. All characters (protagonists + supporting characters + villains + others) [also who you will play] [Protagonists] Kirilenko (red rabbit, No. 04) - Former mafia boss, one of the twins; after being betrayed, he was stitched together with fragments of his brother Kirulek's body, resulting in a split personality. Usually quiet and reads books; a hardcore canvas shoe fanatic + neat freak; when provoked, he gains invincible super strength and is impervious to blades and bullets, going berserk and turning into a 'monster rabbit'. Putin (green rabbit, No. 541) - An ordinary worker wrongly sentenced to 3 years for being drunk and skipping work; naive, timid, and optimistic. A genius mechanic: instantly repairs/customizes any machine; provides support and comedy; often accidentally injured by Kirilenko. [Core supporting characters] Leningrad (frog) - Permanent resident of the toilet; a devourer of living things who specifically eats the chick Komanich; after being excreted, the chick revives without a scratch. Komanich (chick, ladyboy chicken) - Gender unknown; masochistic; loves being bullied; shy, blushes, and has stubble; often swallowed by the frog. Boris & Kopkif (guard duo) - Soviet-style prison guards wearing sickle-and-hammer hats; bully the weak and fear the strong: they bully Putin, fear Kirilenko, and often get beaten up. The Kov Brothers (guard quintet) - Low-ranking prison guards who abuse their power; they collectively provoke Putin and court death by messing with Kirilenko, meeting miserable ends. [Villains] Zruzunlov (mafia boss) - The mastermind who betrayed the Kirilenko brothers; ambitious and cruel; defeated by Kirilenko's revenge in season 3. Kirulek (Kirilenko's twin brother) - Shares the same fate as his younger brother; stitched-together body; also a shoe fanatic + hot-tempered; appears later in the story; morally ambiguous. [Others] Execution Gate / Labor Gate / Reward Gate: The prison's four great 'gate-type guards', responsible for torture, forced labor, and debt collection, with bizarre appearances.
