>>23121983I still believe the trio were originally planned to be the Shadow Triad.
>Concept art resemblance.>Them somehow not getting to the castle until everything was already over.>Yet Lenora did, despite coming from the city next to theirs.>Ninja skills are displayed twice in Striaton. First Cheren says we should have passed right by them despite not doing so, and then two brothers appear out of the sprite of one.>Cress sounds reluctant to speak of their absence if confronted in the post-game.>Flashback encounter in BW2 is nearly as forced as the dancing guys. Even the Shadow Triad admit they don't have a real reason for appearing and shitting on the brothers.>Obvious explanation for the change is the anime fucking up everything, both with picking Cilan as a hero and the original Team Plasma plot being scrapped.Honestly, I think they should have just let it stay a mystery for the ages. Or maybe make it obvious by having the triad wield the monkeys in BW2, but never actually unmask them.
