Interesting, I guess I’ve never thought about it but his nickname is the rampage dragon so I just figured they were part of his look. The whole dragon thing, might come from some storyline in his home promotion Dragon Gate.
his mask is a Dragon (in japan dragons look more like wolves than lizards, to be concise) and the beads are probably a prayer thing. prayer beads.
he’s very stoic
I’ve always just assumed the prayer beads are both (a) pretty cool looking, and thematically match his whole “warrior monk” kind of aura, and/or (b) a little nod to Akuma from street fighter, because real life prayer beads or juju beads or whatever name you give em, are never that big.
