Kusaregedo from SS0 is a Gaki

Just been looking up what ghost or demon Kusaregedo could be and I am almost sure I have found it

Gaki are starving/hungry ghosts who where evil persons in former life. They have pot bellies, are very thin and bony, and usually appear to be disfigured old men

really love myths and legends about ghosts and demons!

That's some good research. thanks

thank you. just happy that some (if not all) SS characters have proper historical roots and are not just pulled from manga culture (which is cool but disposable). I suppose its that element of realism/relativety that sets this and last blade apart from something as pretentious and baseless as GGXYZ (oooh the controversy!).

I mean if people atleast realise this is not just some ugly made up thing then they will give it more of a chance.
Anyway, makes a difference from your usual demon charcter, no?
I will admit that it looks like one difficult character to use though...

Great job man, awesome research.

Two big thumbs up here, I love the cultural references in SNK world.
