So Klein is white starting out. He’s white as Sherlock. And he’s white as Gehrman. But then he changes his skin color during chapter 532 to be darker to fit in.
Does this mean Klein can become a black person?!? Is that blackface?!? I really can’t tell… I mean, I guess not because blackface is usually making fun of black people while Klein is doing it to blend in and it’s part of his potion, not just some random thing.
Rambling ahead but also a good fanfic idea lol:
But that then leads me to thinking… shapeshifters. Shapeshifters can change their shape, but it’s not necessarily they can change color or anatomy. Imagine if you see a cat with human skin, no fur, and it just says “meow” in a deep voice a human peen just dangling. XD
On a lighter note: Can Klein turn into a cat?? I WANT TO KNOW DAMMIT!!
I need a fanfic where Leonard adopt a cat and the cat is Klein stuck in cat form. And the old man is just like “that is one strange cat” and you just see a normal cat but he’s like “there’s something weird about that cat” and Leonard just shrugs him off and ignores him keeping Klein as his pet.
Then imagine the surprise when the cat transforms into a naked Klein Moretti and Leonard just… stares. “I rubbed your belly.”
“Yes you did.”
“I… pet you.”
“Yes.”
“I fed you cat food.”
“Yep.”
“Can you turn back?”
“LEONARD!!!”
Or depending on whether it’s the faceless potion that did it:
“KLEIN?!?”
“Leonard. Look- I can explain!”
“YOU REINCARNATED AS A CAT AND THEN CAME BACK?!?”
“… yes. That is exactly what happened.”
“OMG I MISSED YOU!!!”
But also, since Klein was a cat, he got to see a side of Leonard he never saw. Like him talking to himself and his every day home life. How he was grieving the loss of his friends.
