Oh snap Nielsen as 1st Anguis would be really cool. I hadn't even thought of that (and also missed pretty much all of his questline in the relevant game, sadly!).
When I played the game I knew about the theory going into it, and I still just can't see it despite having watched for it. I don't know. To be fair though, this sort of nuance could be easily lost in the translation process, especially considering it wasn't even a final translation ---
I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways.
