Cheshire Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 You know, other than, "Awakening did it with Lucina"? Pretty sure the only reason Lucina had a fixed hair color is because she was relevant enough to the plot to be in CG cutscenes, unlike Shigure. (I don't know about Heirs of Fates though) Personally I would've really liked to see Shigure inherit his hair color from his father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRPG Tryhard Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It has been mentioned in his supports that he is supposed to look like the last king of Valla. Don't know how important this is to warrant this special treatment though. You should also consider that Azura, Arete, Shigure and Anankos all have the same hair colour because they are members of the same lineage.

But I also noticed they all have names that start with A (Anakos, Arete, Azura), except for Shigure, which kinda sets him apart from his lineage, and in that case would make him having his dad's hair color more appropriate, for lack of a better term? I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saisymbolic Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It really is kind of silly. They only did it to mirror Awakening most likely. Unlike Lucina, Shigure doesn't have the same importance to the story, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflolxp54 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Shigure's story importance is only relevant in Heirs of Fates DLC. That... makes a lot of sense, actually.

I don't know. The last king of Valla was named Cadro, whom Shigure resembles to the point that even Anankos in his insanity mistakes him for Cadros in the Heirs of Fates DLC.

Didn't know that since I only played a little bit of the first Heirs of Fate but I guess I should've checked anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last king of Valla was named Cadros, whom Shigure resembles to the point that even Anankos in his insanity mistakes him for Cadros in the Heirs of Fates DLC. Cadros was the first king of Valla, not the last. There was some confusion regarding whether he was Azura's father or ancestor before HoF was localized, though, so I guess I understand why you thought that. In regard to the thread, though, it is, in fact, probably because Awakening did it with Lucina. Or maybe it's that Azura's gorgeousness always overrides his father's genes, who knows. You should also consider that Azura, Arete, Shigure and Anankos all have the same hair colour because they are members of the same lineage. Nitpicking powers activated Anankos's hair color, while still blue, is notably darker than that of the Vallite royals. Yes I linked to images that is the power of the nitpicking.

Light Strategist Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It's kinda moot when "Anankos" is "Hydra" in JP. Isn't Arete's name different in Japan as well? Or am I mixing that up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. Well and let's not forget one other thing about the family of Azura. Valla spoilers ahead Kamui is Azura's cousin and the direct son/daughter of Anankos and if we go by the default portrait he ends up with grey hair and red eyes while everyone else has yellow eyes and light blue hair. Mikoto is Arete's sister and she looks way more Japanese than Vallite in any way and she has dark brown/black hair and then there's Lilith who while does share all the traits of the family (yellow eyes, blue hair) she starts with an L instead. There's also Kana to think about as well. Edited June 25, 2016 by Raguna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably gets the red eyes from Mikoto, though the Rainbow Sage also has red eyes so maybe it's a common thing for Fates dragons.

Abvora Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 He probably gets the red eyes from Mikoto Mikoto's eyes always looked gray-brown to me. I figured he got the eyes from Anankos, since the ones on his dragon-heart-thing are red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
