Jun. 1st, 2022 11:12 pmso i'm thinking about how, during the previous Shaman Fight, Hao was an adult, and he is like 15 for this one. spent a while being a child mass murderer based on the amount of characters whose motivation is just "Hao killed everyone I love".
Anyway. Hao chooses when and where he reincarnates. So he could have been an adult for this one, and there's no obvious reason he shouldn't have... except apparently he wanted to be an Asakura this time around.
Which raises questions like: was his only main-line Asakura choice after Yohmei and before Yoh and his twin brother Asakura Keiko (Yoh's mum)? would he have objected to being AFAB? since he apparently knows enough about manipulating bodies to revive the dead, can't he use his magical powers to trans his gender? what would he have done if Keiko didn't get pregnant? How long would he have been willing to wait before giving up and reincarnating as someone else? like he probably can still win the Shaman Fight as a baby but it sounds super inconvenient.
