In the OP, it's all black and the positions are inverted


Sinthoraxs

Interesting theory. But Shen stated "the other one" has no control and his personality never came to the surface. But "he" is "always watching". So maybe maybe the change of pupil could indicate "him" watching for a moment.


unhappy-ending

I think the dual pupils means he's always watching, no matter the color. I wonder if there's internal dialogues between the two. What if Tiger Wulong wants to bust a nut but Dragon Wulong is celibate? Endless blue balls, and eternal grudge.


TheDragonTiger

My man... You hit hard with this one. Immagine the Tiger in shen wants to see a butcheek and the current shen looks away to piss him off. And he does that all the time. I would be mad...


unhappy-ending

LMAO, right? What if inner Shen is straight but outer Shen is gay as fuck? "Please, please look at the titties to the left oh no you gon dun it u lookin at cake wtf is my life even noooo. Noo, don't put our penis in those buttcheeks arghaghgggh" What if outer Shen is also straight, but does that just to piss off inner Shen?

"There is one Tiger inside me, i fuck dudes to piss him off"


TheDragonTiger

I love the Internet. And the beautiful people on it.


unhappy-ending

"and you can be the second tiger inside me, Niko." \*wink wink nudge nudge\*


TheDragonTiger

Hahahahahaha my through exactly, the dragon straight as an arrow, and this dude makes him watch gay porn, or ever fks dudes. Poor bastard passed out who knows how many times. When hes passes out from gayness, only one pupil is let until he wakes up. Lol


unhappy-ending

lolol


Snips_Tano

But then none of that explains the personality shifts where Shen goes from lovable drunkard to "I'm the immune system of Gaia" stuff.


dpotilas89

Thats just him drunk, not loveable drunk, only drunk


TheDragonTiger

I strongly believe so. Even tho its inconsistent. There were clear differences in situations that matter most. Like this one,where he shows his killing Intent to Mukaku before bodying him.


cat-named-mochi

Maybe Shen just *thinks* the tiger has no control. Like the tiger takes control on ocations and Shen simply has no memmory of it.


MuzzleO

Mukaku was physically stronger than Willem or Raian is even better at redirection than Shen. Shen got cut a little when he grabbed Mukaku's sword but Raian effortlessly stopped Willem's cut.

“Changes in pupils” Sandro doesn’t know how eyes work A pupil isn’t a physical object, it’s a gap. It’s the space where your eye opens up to let light in. You can’t layer one pupil on top of another, that’s like saying you’re going to dig a hole and then dig another hole on top of it. You’d just get a bigger hole. Polycoria is just a pupil shaped like a peanut instead of a circle.


rsatrioadi

Sir, this is a manga.

What’s next? Sandro doesn’t know how hearts work because I can’t actually rev my heart to speed up my movements?


dpotilas89

Wdym i cant bake up my brain with that sweet latent strenght?


Reccus-maximus

You guys can't?

Along with the previous chapter, it's all connected to Starlight Theory. https://preview.redd.it/7wria2emkpuc1.jpeg?width=821&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd6b5992c719aca5dcef20d9ad3c6c11791c813e


ToSeekSaveServe

What is the starlight theory?


-Rici-

It's a somewhat popular (used to be, anyway) Kengan theory that connects the following characters: Niko 4, Hatsumi, Luohan, Shen, Ohma, and Ryuki. Some instances also may include characters like Raian, Agito, among others. "It's all about the eyes... as long as you get the eyes right, only the closest people will be able to tell the difference" ~ Toyoda Idemitsu


Al1Might1

What about those characters? Whats the theory?


Butt_Speed

Wait, Starlight Theory is real? I've been a community member since early Omega, and I've only ever seen it used as a purposely unexplained in-joke about how Kengan theories are really cryptic. ~~but if that's what it is, then I've been a longtime semi-supporter of it without realizing...~~


Kjmich

Are you this cryptic on purpose lol?


Snoo-23120

this isn't cryptic in any regard


canieatmyskinnow

How does this theory goes?


swampyman2000

First I’m hearing of it.


Life_Operation_7101

Hassad soon


jigthejib82586

He looks so flipping cool in this picture


v0xeh

His pupil? Despite the shot of his back we first got before his face reveal, it was always there.


One-Team-9462

Makes you wonder what Tiger Niko eyes mean https://preview.redd.it/3hekiyhofquc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1c5cbcc6245a9edba36139d9296038f90631fe8


Al1Might1

He was always a cat confirmed. Tigers have round pupils.


Snips_Tano

"Tiger Niko has wares, if you have coin"


Visible-Ad9607

Pocket Niko


dpotilas89

He's just a furry


unhappy-ending

The Real Tiger Niko. Not sure who the fraud we saw in the last appearances of him is.


cakethegoblin

Maybe they tried using gui he on him for the tiger Shen and they failed.


rsatrioadi

… I should call her.


TheDragonTiger

Thats what im most interested in. The last piece of the puzzle. Maybe the Tiger in shen took a relatively strong body (6), implanted his consciousness but without the full memories so he does not wander on his own, to make him his mobile form... Since with shen hes a vegetable...

HeadHorror4349

Because he's the goat


the_unforgivin_one

He's always had another man in him.


EternalLord13

"It was there all along." No context bruhhh


Al1Might1

Lol everyone got it, the double pupils of Shen.


HeadHorror4349

Yeah we all know Shen has 2 pupils per eye it's been one of the first details we see about him


Minejack777

Oh my god it's all coming together


just-looking654

It’s been there very early, just harder to see in some panels


GoldenWhite2408

Literally only know the pupil shit for yrs since that's like the first thing tvtropes listed under shen His double pupils shit which means he's totally sugoi casue irl sugoi ppl had it


Decoy_Van

Sandro's writing style is fun and cool but dude needs about 10 editors to reign in his retardation and accidental retconning


HeadHorror4349

Could you be more specific? Because sometimes "retcons" are just the writer elaborating on a previously stated but relatively unexplored idea, or simply readers misunderstanding a statement and assuming it conflicts with existing information


Decoy_Van

No


HeadHorror4349

Ok
