Appearance

Melodic Tune presents a strange sight, standing only about waist-high beside a typical adult and far shorter than his fellow Heavenly Ninja Party members. He dresses in a sleeveless turtleneck and shorts, and two bud-shaped tufts sit atop his head. Battle brings out a warped, crazed expression across his face.

Personality

Like his teammates, Tune holds firm confidence in what he can do. He readily bands together with other Ninja Village graduates to boost their odds of killing Flash, whom he loathes for razing the Village. Bitter as his time there was, he still upholds its laws.

History

Tune came out of the Ninja Village's thirteenth graduating class, nicknamed Flowering, the same one as Hue Color, and he went on to join the Heavenly Ninja Party. That group cornered Speed-o'-Sound Sonic at his hideout to lay out its members and its scheme for world domination, along with plans to kill both Flash and Blast, revealing that it answers to Empty Void, whom they call That Man. When Sonic failed to lure Flash to the appointed spot, the party barged into the pair's duel and took on both fighters, branding Sonic a traitor.

Blast then arrived, beat the party down, and teleported everyone to Sonic's hideout, where Saitama had already downed the Village leader. Tune and the others attacked Saitama and were knocked aside one after another. After watching Byakko and Genbu fall to Blast and Empty Void, the impressed ninjas tried to make Saitama their master and, once refused, resolved to trail him instead. In combat Tune fights as a trained ninjutsu expert, flinging throwing daggers and turning his small frame into an edge. In the webcomic continuity, he died alongside the entire Heavenly Ninja Party during their clash with Flash and Sonic.
