The image also includes a note from the official artist. While it's entirely in Japanese, Tavi on Twitter was kind enough to provide a translation. I've reproduced this translation below for the sake of convenience. Thanks, Tavi!
I was thinking of something that's not too fashionable but also easier to wear. I came to the conclusion that he would like wearing something that hides his body (yknow the muscles) so that they wouldn't stand out. Keeps the pendant on because it allows Prevasion. Also please change the hair color back. o(^▽^)o'
Additionally, in the post where they shared this image, Inti Creates revealed that Ouka is two years older than GV, which essentially makes her 16. Pretty intriguing!
He looks like such a nerd.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I keep forgetting that he's only 14... that kinda pushes things from "standard shounen hero age" to "pretty much a child soldier". Man, his life's been rough.
Surprised to see the dislike for the hair color change... on the one hand, he does look less normal, but on the other hand Quinn has an entire head of hair the same color.
Actually, now he is 15
DeleteIt says (14) right in the tweet tho, and i know 6 months passed after the opening stage in GV1, but the time between that and the final rush is unknown. And we dunno bdays.
DeleteDoes the concept art of other characters give their age?
ReplyDeleteAs far as the newer characters are concerned, it doesn't look like it. We might get more info on that front later on, though.
DeleteNope, Ouka was just offhandedly mentioned in the tweet this was posted
DeletePrompting quite a few Japanese fans to ask for ages, which the twitter replied 'i need to ask Takai' and a few 'maybe in the Aizu stream!' ...which didnt happen but they did show the height charts from the LE art book, luckly for them it was blurry or they would've spoiled GV2 lmao
I love your blog!I'm so glad I found this! I get more info here overall than Inti's Twitter and will come by often. Thank you and please continue this wonderful service to Gunvolt fans!:3
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks a ton! As a huge Gunvolt fan, it's entirely my pleasure! Super glad to hear that you enjoy the blog, and I will, indeed, continue to do my best to cover any new GV info I hear about!
