KIROS ISN'T ALBINO☹️☹️☹️!!!!!!

theres a big difference between white lions and albino lions and kiros and his pride are white lions. i mean it would make significantly less sense if kiros and his pride were albino because thats just insane sniffles!! its a super rare genetic mutation and it would take a an insane amount of selective breeding for a while pride to have it... i used to have a fixation on lions and i am a bio geek so im very sorry about this rant‼️

they ARE both genetic mutations so it makes sense as to why people have this misconception but albinism is the inability to produce or distribute melanin, which is responsible for the pigmentation of the animal, so its nearly impossible for albino lions to have normal pigmented eyes and skin, like kiros and the outsiders have. kiros and the outsiders have blue, sometimes brown eyes while albino lions would have purple or redish tinted eyes!

kiros is featured with a black tipped tail, black skin (as seen on the nose and pads) and blue eyes showing that he does have pigmentation! his hunters follow this pattern too, minus the tail I believe.

so while albino lions lack melanin almost all together, white lions' melanin makes their pigmentation lighter! white lions are leucistic and that is a recessive trait. that means that the allele for this white colouring needs two recessive of the alleles for it for the trait to actually show up and this allele is super rare unfortunately.

here are some real life white lions!! most white lions don't even have white fur, a lot of the time its that really light yellow as shown in a couple pictures above!! but i believe about 13 are actually alive and well to this day:( thankfully there is an organization called the global white lion protection trust to help take care of them!

gahh please feel free to correct me if i got anything wrong!!!i am scatterbrained and there was no organizational thoughts going into this. i just finished this movie and god did i actually enjoy it and kiros stuck out to me so quickly i adore him!!! so i wanted to clear up the misconception on what he was because i've seen a lot of people claim he's albino😞 sighhhss..... i love lions they're my spirit animal(dw im indigenous!!) and they are so near and dear to my heart

White Lions - Fantasia

🇮🇹 - A differenza delle Tigri Bianche e dei Lupi Bianchi, i Leoni Bianchi del Regno Della Fantasia non sono veri leoni ma i discendenti di Leonido, stregoni mutaforma in grado di trasformarsi in leoni dal manto bianco come la neve. Questo clan guidò una ribellione contro una potente Fata, responsabile della creazione della specie mutaforma che conosciamo oggi attraverso la magia, la tecnologia e l'ingegneria genetica. Lo scopo della ribellione era dimostrare che i mutaforma erano esseri senzienti e liberarsi dal regno delle Fate. Ora affermano che di questi maghi ne siano rimasti solo pochi.

🇺🇸 🇬🇧 - Unlike the White Tigers and White Wolves, the White Lions of the Kingdom of Fantasy are not real lions but are the descendants of Leonidas, shapeshifting sorcerers that can turn into lions with coats as white as snow. This clan led a rebellion against a powerful Fairy who was responsible for the creation of the shape-shifting species we know today via means of magic, technology, and genetic engineering. The purposes of the rebellion were to prove that the shapeshifters were sentient beings and to free themselves from the Fairy reign. They now say there are only a few of these wizards left in existence.

Whoever this specific lion is will be revealed in a future post.

A brief summary of Asteria - Recollections of Eden (Part Four)

So it’s been a couple of years since I did any translation work on this but with the news of Tales of Asteria shutting down I wanted to finally finish my summary of Recollections of Eden (aka the White Lions) arc.

You can start from Part One here

Let’s finish this! The final summary;

With all three barriers surrounding Shangrace now disabled the core group head into the city and fight to the top of the tower to reach Van and Lazaris.

As they climb the tower and break further barriers they can hear Lazaris’ voice.

The dragon monster from the shrine priestess trials appears and though they manage to injure one dragon, another shows up and blocks the path;

In their final appearance the White Lions show up to take over the fight which allows the others to move on and confront Van and Lazaris. Farewell to these amazing outfits!

Letting the White Lions do their thing the group continues on. At the top of the tower is a ball of light and Mikleo realises its’ the same as the one he saw in the ruins which helped him regain his memories of their original world.

Lazaris arrives and says that with the disappearance of that last ball of light this new world is complete.

Lazaris then attacks them but Colette still struggles to understand why they must fight and why she can feel Lazaris is hurting still. (As a side note anyone who has their original memory is referred to as a ‘sinner’ in this story. I didn’t know that when I was translating previously)

We finally get some backstory on Lazaris. Describing events in a previous Asteria arc (or possibly alluding to Radiant Mythology 3) Lazaris tells how the appearance of Kanonno (the descender) started everything. 

How they came into existence at that time and how since then they’ve became exhausted watching how humans fought and killed each other, living creatures and even the world itself.

We briefly fight Lazaris and it looks like the group will be overwhelmed when Colette awakens again to her power and uses it to stop everyone from becoming crystals.

But she doesn’t want to hurt Lazaris, Colette has finally worked out that Lazaris was born as a collection of human consciousness and is not their enemy.

She wants to work with Lazaris to return the world to its former state and make a better future. Lazaris repeatedly denies Colette’s help and that’s when the big cheese himself appears and to everyone’s surprise Van attacks Lazaris.

The group cannot believe Van is now trying to kill Lazaris but we get a little more backstory on why the two were working together in the first place.

Still in Van’s eyes Lazaris’ role is now over and he wants to destroy them to finally complete this new ‘perfect’ world.

The group step in to defend Lazaris and Van tries to reason and bring them round to his way of thinking.

Sorey and the others take responsibility as humans for how their world became and promise if things return to normal that they’ll make the world right again.

None of them want to live in this new fake perfect world and leave their old ones behind because Van’s ultimate wish is to destroy everything and start again.

As they prepare to fight Van, Colette once again offers Lazaris her protection and assurance that they will make the world a better place.

We push Van back once but he comes back stronger than ever.

However Lazaris will not be taken down and musters enough strength to fight back.

I had a very difficult boss fight with Van to get to this point and it didn’t seem like we would be able to defeat him when Lazaris finally steps in.

Lazaris crystallise both themself and Van, Colette and the rest of the group’s words seem to have finally won them over.

The world starts to return to normal, all the traces of crystals disappear.

A few of the group we haven’t seen for awhile show up and tell us the world outside is returning to normal. 

They are sad hearing what happened but Colette knows Lazaris is still with them and watching over to make sure they keep their promise to make a better world.

Raven asks Ludger and the others if they saw the White Lions on their way up but Ludger tells them no. It seems they have already disappeared from this world along with the crystals.

One by one they are engulfed by a bright light and start to disappear. Everyone is worried they won’t remember these events later on and all say their goodbyes now.

Still, despite everything they are finally returning home.

Epilogue!!

Back in the regular world the various groups discuss what happened. It seems like only a select few people remember what happened.

Raven explains it here but people who remembered the original world are the ones who now retain their memories of Lazaris and Van’s world.

I didn’t see this in my reading earlier but there were some stone mouments which also appeared with Lazaris’ world. I asked @sekaiki-honey​ about this as well as why Colette had ‘the will of the world’ inside her and they said;

Colette, Lloyd, Zelos vow to keep their promise to Lazaris and make a better world.

The end!

Thanks to everyone who read this far. I know I summarised it heavily and probably missed a lot of stuff but there’s still a couple of months til the game shuts down and I encourage you to read it yourself if you want info on a particular character’s journey or more backstory. 

I am also sorry for the poor quality of the photos and translations as well as how long this took to finish but I don’t speak Japanese or have much free time so this is the best I could do. I wanted to record the story somewhere for people who were as curious as me before the game shut down and I’m happy I could finally do that.

Thank you again!
