yugioh stars supporting character new design, and well...alright, cards on the table.
I've been leading you all. Hibiki-Sensei isn't his name, i lied to you all. In fact, He's actually...
Some guy whose dub name rhymes with Shmaden Shmuki?!
Jaden was always meant to be am important supporting character, but the idea to make a sort of 'second identity' came later, and the reason why is, quite honestly, i think it would have been funny. It was supposed to be the only reference to Hibiki from the manga before going 'nah screw it' and brought alongside the Hibiki Siblings.
So, what's his deal? As stated before, he's Jun's mentor who met her during a trip to the city, nothing has changed. He's matured a bit, perhaps a bit more cynical with some venom in his bite thanks to more exposure to Yubel among other things, but still the same Slifer Slacker / Dropout Boy at heart. He's a bit more visually rugged due to offscreen adventures as seen before in his 'Hibiki" form, and that look is what he looks like for the majority of the story. His main role is trying to stop the Karman Acolytes and their plans, and also serve as a mentor role to the gang, mainly the Main Trio. He also seems to be hiding a lot of stuff from them, perhaps a certain secret or two that really shouldn't be kept to himself. Some habits die hard, huh S4 Jaden? He treats Jun and friends with bemusement, often helpign them out, but lately hes been looking at her with a weird solemn glare. It also feels like he's seen this sort of stuff happening around them before...
This look is Jaden at his best during the story, around the final arcs once he gets serious. Inspiration was trying to get his usual red colors but more darker and also a certain duel monster's influence on him. Hair is usually covering it as "Hibiki-sensei', but his left eye is permanently like that, for a mysterious reason. Huh, where IS yubel in this anyway?
While he continues to use E-Heros and Neo Spacians as always, he's included some new cards as well. Not to mention, he's included some certain Masked and Evil archetypes in his Extra Deck. Neos and Flame Wingman now has to share room with a new monster ace, the return of E-Hero The Earth/Terra Firma as well, the Planet "NEXT" card in this story.
