>>36389439Some people just age well. My brother is nearly 29 and still looks 12. Without my beard I also look more like 20 despite being in my early 30s (at least externally, internally I'm probably more like 60 because I've treated my body like shit) and look more like 40 with the beard.
Also, keep in mind you're talking about a game. Pic related is a fucking GRANDMOTHER by the time the show ends.
>>36389306Technically OP is actually right ina sense. Each game is canon unto itself. So technically even if they'd gone full edge and had him jump into one of the pits killing himself in Gold, that would't have necessarily have happened in Silver.
