[Forever Knight]

I mean.... look at it.....

 

[KAGEKI]

It might've been a coincidence.

 

[Hidden Masta]

[Forever Knight]

I just thought it was too much of a coincidence since it was W's first promo night aswell.

 

[Kai Yamato]

Not the first time we saw a double colored Gedoushu. I mean there was that tiger looking monster.
