Zansu
Zansu
A signature verbal tic used by Iyami, a character from Osomatsu-kun and Osomatsu-san. He habitually adds “zansu” (ザンス) to the ends of his sentences, making it one of his most recognizable speech patterns. It doesn't have a precise English equivalent; it's a distinctive part of his character and exaggerated way of speaking.
