I mean, unless they're in the same place at the same time, I don't really think he'd have much trouble socialising with either? After all, it's rare that we all have just one type of friend, especially in the case of someone like Scarface, and Suguru is the best example of that (with Robin Mask and Terryman being polar opposites, too).

I like the theory of him only befriending 'bird-like' chojin, though. I guess it depends on what we mean by 'bird-like', but you are right that he bickers all the time with Kevin (probably why opposites attract and like repels like) XD

I will admit, I still think he saved Kevin for purely selfish reasons (and wasn't like friends with him at that point in the sense that we think of friends), but it's also nice to think that he did save Kevin as he liked the guy, and just puts on a bravado of pretending it was for selfish reasons. That being said, he didn't go back in time to save Kevin, either, but for also selfish reasons . . . if I'm totally honest, I think may have his own version of friendship or he's not actually friends with Kevin. I do acknowledge it's a very popular friendship-ship, though, and I can equally get why (so that's just my personal take) XD

I guess I always saw Kevin and Mars alike, but for different reasons; like both really struggle to form relationships, and both are lone wolves, but for Kevin it's due to trauma and building walls for self-defence, and for Mars it's because of genuine indifference and lack of interest. We see them in flashbacks sleeping during classes together, and otherwise hanging out, so clearly they have enough in common to be friends on some level, but I do wonder if it's more superficial than say Mars and Jade or Kevin and Chloe/Mantaro.

I don't know, maybe I'm being too negative XD

I know Fract has some amazingly detailed headcanons on Mars in the server, if you fancy joining the wiki/fandom server, and others like Fract share in finding Mars a really complex character (I do think he's complex, too, but in different ways). I guess sometimes personal interpretation means there's a bit of a bias, so I admit I've always read Mars in less sympathetic terms (even though I do love the guy).

@checkmate123

I really love this character!🌟

Mars is absolutely one of the most attractive man in Kinnikuman Nisei 💖 (After Checkmate obv💁🏻‍♀️)

And he is surely powerful even he was cruel and heartless at the beginning, but now is only a good handsome boy😚

(He really makes me proud to be Italian😂)

@kekotsuman

Mantaro was lecturing him about integrity and it made him scowl so bad

Also dude pls stop wearing so many layers! You’re gonna over heat 😭

Changed his outfit completely 😂 legs need work but ehh I love how it came out still. I’m not sure if this counts as fantasy au kinnikuman…

And yes it’s a Mars x Kevin one because there ain’t a better pairing to do the theme of masks with, I feel.

I had such a great time doing this!! Apparently Mars is a vampire cause I forgot his reflection 💀 To be fair that fits!

I always get confused with mirror effects as well. Idk if Mars is reflected on the right lens. This problem made me not wanna draw kimonos as well 100 percent!

Kevin Mask just swooped in the tavern and got his mask back…
