cherry-coloured funk

couldn’t stop thinking about Gozaboru’s signature suit being the color red. Soemthing about the visual of his suit dripping blood from those he had helped kill, allowing him to own this very suit in the first place.

Seto meanwhile used to wear white, something that is not only often associated with innocence but also nothingness, a blank slate of sorts. White fabric stains easily and this would easily adopt the red dripping from gozaboru’s suit (as well as being hard to wash out and most likely staying forever, even if only faintly).

The jacket itself is too big to fit little Seto, not only because it’s a position unbefitting for a child to be put into, but also because their ideals fundamentally do not align. Still, the jacket is being held in place on the left side of the image by another hand, only staying on Seto’s body to due an outside force. Naturally, as seen on the right, it slips off his shoulders. Also noteworthy is that Seto stands perfectly still, passive in this action and having the jacket forced upon him against his will.

Additionally, Seto is presented in a greenish hue (haha s0 reference), not only to contrast Gozaboru’s red, but also because it makes him appear sickly and distant. His facial expression is supposed to match that of his appearances in the actual series, despite him still being younger in this. He may still be a child, but mentally has already transformed a lot through Gozaboru- faster than he actually grows up physically.
