Joking around aside, I’m really glad I get to go a little bit more in depth about this dood. Here goes!
So as was said, I figured that when Goro got his change of heart, Loki and Robin Hood would merge together as a sort of symbology for these two different ideals and points of views he held coming together. Concept-wise I thought that one of the things that set Goro apart from the rest of the Phantom Thieves (aside from his mask that just screamed “Don’t trust me”) is the gaudy super-hero appearance Robin Hood had, which also reflected sorely in Akechi’s white princy outfit. I’m not ripping at the original concept of course! I’m well aware that it was purely intentional, but my goal here was to make him fit in with the crew that he’d officially join, so I had to scrap most of it, haha. It was with that in mind that I went ahead and gave his persona a more rogue-like look, while keeping hints of the older version though the golden highlights and faded white tips of his cape. There’s a few other details here and there that I’ll skip over to avoid making this paragraph any longer, but yeah! While Loki isn’t his own persona anymore, he’s still present in both Goro’s new Phantom Thief outfit and some of Robin Hood’s color scheme, which you can interpret however you like ;3c
Hope y’all enjoy! Cheers ♥
