[Misc] Joker lives~!
After a two year hiatus from his last series (MÄR) Anzai, creator of Flame of Recca, has a new title publishing in Shonen Sunday. It's still fresh and young, only 30ish chapters old, but guess who's back, back again~
Flame of Recca || Flame of Recca || Flame of Recca || MÄR || MiXiM☆11
Joker || Joker || Joker || Nanashi || Pandora
This totally justifies my impression that Joker's had a lot of lives, okay, even if it may never be directly said in any of the canons. Pandora is his latest incarnation. Notice how he blatantly stole Kurei's clothes XD. The design of the robe has a throw-back to Nanashi, and of course the design of his weapon (not pictured) has that same creepy eye motif as he started out with as Joker and carried through as Nanashi. We don't know any backstory about Pandora yet, but the in-story connection to his previous incarnations probably isn't going to be as direct as traveling dimensions and getting amnesia... But anyway, Pandora's a baddy of the series, and aside from the obvious similarities (including his speech patterns), he also shares Joker's interest in seeing things play out and like... his habit of picking out "an interesting person" to harass...
Seriously though, 'Pandora'? What is that naming sense...
