Yeah, I’ve made it more than clear I frickin hate Ginga Densetsu Noah but here I am still contributing to it anyway. These are my redesigns of the absolute clowns of villains that are the Aka’ari brothers.

They’re still Tibetan Mastiffs but aren’t fucking elephant-sized, and they all have Chinese names considering their breed. And my versions of them would have some actually interesting personalities instead of just gloating about how EVIL!!!11 they are and nothing more.

I also remember an old tweet speculating how they might have followed some Chimera motif before all the members were revealed, but unfortunately no such thing went through. So I reused that concept for my re-imagining of them.



Shou is renamed Shen, and doesn’t look too different from his canon version aside from having a mane that makes him look like an actual lion (and not a stupid-ass dandelion or Brussel sprout like his recent design, ugh)

Beniou is renamed Bai Lou and has the goat motifs. Along with the goat horns I gave him a docked tail and the creepy rectangle pupils of an actual goat (don’t ask why a dog has them, it just works well with his aesthetic)

Lastly, WanWan is renamed Wan-Fang and is based off the dragon part of the Chimera. I took a lot of reference from a typical Eastern dragon for his design, including the mane, shaggy eyebrows, (very subtle) mustache, and even though it’s hard to see he has slit pupils. Again, don’t ask how a dog would have those aside from symbolism purposes.
