I think that sounds cool – especially how Kaiba appears to his fans. Like at Death-T and again at the announcement of the beginning of Battle City (when he’s in the blimp) you can see everyone cheering for him. So it would be interesting to see how he appears to people – confident, charismatic, with none of the stuff below the surface. Also when the gang meets him they all assume he’s this rich kid who just had everything handed to him. So yeah, the contrast between the image he projects and his real self is interesting.
That’s a good point about Yugi – you gotta wonder how he appears. I mean he’s this nice, shy kid who steps onto a dueling arena and suddenly stands, walks and talks differently and has a totally different facial expression –talk about putting on a game face! Ironically people used to say that about me when I used to wrestle. Because I’d be my usual friendly self on the sideline, but the moment I stepped on the mat, I was all business. I honestly didn’t see anything but the match (well, and winning). Anyway my opponents and teammates said it was really unnerving to watch – and without benefit of a Millennium item! Interestingly my close friends weren’t surprised.
I also kind of wonder about the minor characters – like think about someone like Weevil Underwood or Rex Raptor – how on earth do they appear to people? Mind you it takes much less imagination to figure out what’s in people’s minds when they look at Mai…
But the difference between the surface these characters present and what’s under the surface sounds cool. Oh, if you post it on ffnet – please put a link here?
