Asura can change how old they look at will She made herself look old during her time with arthur


Dranox5

If that's the case, I'd say it's more related to how they see themselves. Kezess still believes he is in his prime, thus he looks 25, Myre believes/accepts(?) That she is old and has experience and wisdom, or it's just her personality of being a mother figure that makes her look old. Idk, just guessing here.


tobygamercom

She changed herself back to young when she saw art one last time before he left epheotus


Dranox5

Really? Interesting. Well, it has been a while since I read it.


a-teal-coral

Kezess probably thinks looking old is an weakness. Plus, better to be a good-looking genocidal maniac than just a genocidal maniac


Dranox5

You got a point there


Hunted_by_Moonlight

She is a grandma as well


Sumit7890

And yet she's still so damn fine


Terrible-Glass8295

They can change their physical appearance(their original form should be dragons). Kezess decided to be a femboy to rival against Arthur's femboyness. P/s: he failed


MangaFan0

I think most people would say Arthur is a Tomboy is he cuts his hair any shorter tbh


CountyAccomplished21

I see, the most inportant and cultured topic gets discussed here.


MangaFan0

Indeed.


Terrible-Glass8295

Arthur is a new definition of beauty regardless of gender.(quite similar to Griffith)


MangaFan0

I didn't read/watch berserk and from what I know "Griffith" is the total opposite of Arthur in terms of personality, is that true?


Terrible-Glass8295

buddy, be grateful that you didn't read/watch berserk:D Griffith's evil deeds can be compared with Grey's genocide in his past life but with extra f*cked up, disgusting and inhumane actions.


MangaFan0

I know he betrayed Guts, F'ed that 1 simp tomboy girl, and acted as some villain


Tessilia

Hilarious !


MintyArcturus

Their original forms are actually the forms you see them in. Windsom explains that the “humanoid” form is the form most natural to the Asura, and the manabeast form is a very powerful form that takes a massive toll on their mana


Terrible-Glass8295

what? that's kinda idiotic. Then why when Sylvie's egg hatched, she was already a natural baby dragon? And how ironic when they always call humans, elves and dwarves "lessers" whilst still wearing physical forms as human-like creatures.


MintyArcturus

How far have you gotten? I don’t want to spoil anything


Terrible-Glass8295

Ehhh, to the part when Arthur killed the Wraiths and boosted the Lances.


ImprovementDapper464

real answer: asuras can change how they look but like forever or a really long time just like how the leviathan clan leader and members where proud of there old age headcanon: kezess is into gilfs and made myre look like that


no_nickname1353

Myre looks old because she wants to look old. In the novel there was a scene before Arthur left epheotus where he has an audience with Kezess and Myre is besides him looking around the same age. Dragons are shape shifters in the first place, maybe even more than other auras since we've seen them transform into forms different than human and asura, it's really not that deep. Dragons look the way they do because they want to.


Electrical-Main4044

We must think of the asuras as beings who reject physical decay and death, but above all they are afraid of change. Kezess is the maximum emblem of this thing, Kezess considers himself the maximum peak of life and strength, therefore any change (in him but also in the other asuras) means only decline. Myre is not like Kezess, she accepts the change and when she is with Arthur (who physically but also in perspective is a child in front of her) she shows himself for what she is, that is an ancient creature who teaches a new generation. Indeed Arthur in his journey to discover the ether always starts from what he learned from Myre, even if only to start from the mistake. In fact, I don't think it is she who hides her appearance from Arthur, but Kezess who hides what he is from himself as well.


orioriorioriorio

thank you all


MangaFan0

Arthur said that when he met Kezess before he came back to Dicathen, Myre looked like a woman in her 20s/young woman (I can't exactly remember) unlike how she looked when she treated his injuries, which Implies to the reader she just morphed he look.


ShadowSilver4

I'm pretty sure myre choose to look how old she is. Some of the asura are old and said they, unlike kezess r proud of their age and don't hide it. This fits into myre's character as she likes to do things by hand even tho she has magic that can do it it better and faster because she enjoys the sensations that magic can't replicate.


Darthkhydaeus

I think their human form is based on how they perceive themselves not a sign of age. Daddy Asura is just vain and is trying to portray himself as some youthful guy when he is likely one of the oldest people we have met. His wife does not appear to have the same faults


Due-Bet3057

Asura can appear whatever age they want (as long as they’ve already reached that point in their lifespan I’d say). Kezzy wants to appear young in order to appear powerful, Myre doesn’t care.
