>>36967541>"and have lore attached to them to justify their existence"Dude, they do that with all the redesigns if you'd do your research. For instance, Shogunyan is Jibanyan's ancestor and Robonyan is Jibanyan turned into a robot in the distant future. Even Rubeus J by official lore is an entirely separate entity that has existed for hundreds of years and killed off numerous villages during that time. The fact he happened to look like Jibanyan was a joke they played up in the anime of Venoct's backstory.
>"Meanwhile, there's nothing justifying a koala ghost looking like a blue cat."Try actually watching the movie. There kinda is.
