They executed the actual event poorly but it seems like they always planned on Gaius doing something that "breaks the rules"
The "fear not the thunder, for lighting brings evolutionary changes to mankind" phrase really gets my attention.. everything he says in dj contest connects directly to the unknown collection story somehow.. it really gets me thinking about so many things..
It seems like it was always planned to have Gaius do this, it kinda gives me hope that in future updates they expand on his motives or his mentality and such
I noticed that Yun Chuan had normal nips in his art
So I compiled all the nips (that are visible) I could find
Which surprisingly was only Taylor's and Gaius', (Lewis, Jiang Jiuli, and every esper with an open jacket has theirs covered) but all of this was supposed to question why this man needed to have pink nips
ONLY TO LOOK AT HIS SECOND ART AND SEE THAT HIS NIPS ARE NORMAL
I'm sure if we compiled all the different drawings of Li Ling done by official artists, the colour will change.
I wonder if there is a war going on where the artists are split down the middle of Team Pink Nips/Team Brown Nips.
Li Guang: Hey Gaius, I don't know if you noticed, but I slipped a little note in your pocket to say how much of a fan I am!
Gaius: That's nice, but-
Gaius, holding up a ten-page letter: This is not a little note.
Have a fanart of my fav character that you probably never heard of!
Sorry for the pixels, i forgot to raise the resolution while drawing this, and when i finally remember the drawing is already almost finished... oopsie
