Given the age of the nerds who write this, I'm really not surprised they'd slip that in so sneakily

Anyway, I gotta gush about Ch'rell for a moment.

Mostly about that scar looking more natural and less like a tattoo, while still retaining the purple-ish tone.

Maybe it's because the skintone isn't nearly as bright as the 2003 show, but it just looks better. Has that extra layer "What in the world happened???"
Not going to be anything like Saki getting swiped in the face with a sword by assassins, it's going to be nasty.

Well...yeah, sword to the face is still pretty ugly, but I think we're looking at a burn or worse. The kind of horrific injury that changes a man.

So now I can stop coloring it red when I draw him, which is what I've been doing while I wasn't entirely sure what they would do. I also like that, at least by this design, it's just one long band instead of pronged ridiculousness...also much easier to draw, especially amid the fact that Ch'rell is a spiky fellow.
