"Cute, cool, passion" is a colloquial term used by Japanese netizens to refer to three ACGN characters or a three person unit that form a fixed relationship. The term comes from THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls, where the idols are divided into these three types.

Introduction

Three people is the minimum configuration of "a group of people". In many ACG works, adding groups of characters will add a lot of color to the work, but it is troublesome to describe too many people in the group, so a "trio" has become the choice of most authors. Trios have more highlights than duos, and at the same time it can avoid the trouble of difficult to grasp the main and secondary and complex character relationships of four or more people.

"Cute, cool, passion" is a level higher than the ordinary trio. The relationship between these three people is closer, and they can easily cooperate to complete tasks that require more people. Generally speaking, in works that feature this, the perfect cooperation between the three is the absolute highlight of the work, and it is also a plot that readers and audiences love to see.

This trio has a leader who is responsible for commanding the actions of the three people, while the other two people will be assigned other necessary attributes, such as military strategist, action person, complainer, mascot, idiot, charlatan, pornographic person, etc. Sometimes, in order to enrich the role, the leader will also take on some attributes part-time.

On July 20, 2020, Japanese netizen "0_JI_" tweeted and proposed a "three-person group" role law. Since this law is very practical, including most ACG works with three or at least three protagonists, it has aroused the consensus of many people on the Internet:

“

3人組（友達、タレント、アニメキャラなど）で良好な関係が築けている場合、必ずcool、cute、passionのいずれかの役割をそれぞれが満たしている。らしい
When a trio (friends, celebrities, anime characters, etc.) has a good relationship, each person always fulfills one of the roles of "cool", "cute", or "passion".

”

Many iron triangles have the characteristic of being " a little more popular ", that is, two men and one woman (if both are women, at least one of them is a little more "masculine" in character). As the saying goes, men and women work together without getting tired, and iron triangles that are a little more popular are often more attractive to the audience. However, because their relationship is too strong, some works often face the dilemma of who the woman should choose as her partner as the plot develops, which causes the iron triangle combination to break up and form a tragedy.

It is important to note that three siblings, one master and two servants, and a love triangle are generally not considered an iron triangle.
