>>30472188I like how SM introduce a relationship between man and woman that is pretty mature and complex than simple crush/friendship/boss-admin loyalty that has been prevalent in past games. It never outright state if Guzma love Lusamine,or just rely on her to boost his self-esteem. And Lusamine make it a point to brush off Lillie when she ask whether she cared about Guzma or not instead of just denying it.
I also stand the point that if Lusamine = dark Lillie like how Plumeria compare them, then Guzma = dark MC. They both were trial-goers, participated in a lot of tournament, were Hala's pupils of sort and had strong relationship with Kukui. Kukui making MC fight Guzma in his stead when they first met may even been his attempt to make some point there.
