>>47991649It has short arms that can't bend with leafty fans. It has no eyebrows, it has wooden sandals already built into its feet so giving it sandal straps would be redundant. Plus in the pose it would be bending its arms backwards, which makes less anatomical sense than a bird holding an axe with its dumb wing fingers. For all we know it could be in the middle of throwing iys axe too. It appears to be hotting on a sword too like samurai do, implying it has multiple weapons it can use and drop (not fused into its arms.)
If those are leaves and not feathers, why is there a color difference? The tips are black while the rest are white. Why does it share none of shiftrys defining characteristics? Why would they remove a tengu's long nose and turn it into Wario with a beard?
