Clothes

[Samael1105]

I'm not sure why I'm just thinking of this now, but could someone give me some explanation about the whole changing clothes thing? He did it in the first chapter, and again when he got to the Lord's shrine, and it doesn't make any sense. Most of the abilities that characters have in the series I've been able to calmly accept and integrate into the story's mythology, but that one just doesn't sync for me. I had even kind of accepted it for Rai, but then Franky shows up at the Lord's shrine and he does it too, so it's not a Noblesse thing.

Honestly it might not even bother me so much if it weren't for that one chapter around 100 or so where they show Rai spending like a half hour every morning choosing between about fifty identical versions of his uniform to wear that day. So apparently most days he just changes like a normal person, but when he's in a pinch for time, they just transform.

I love the series, and there are so many better things for me to try and question, but for some reason it's this one little stupid thing that's driving me insane.

Any opinions, comments, thoughts? I'm open to anything.

I don't think there's much to it. He seems to be able to cloak in darkness or something and make it take whatever form he wants but it kinda makes sense for him not to want to do that all the time, hence the closet full of clothes. As for Frankenstien, he's spent a lot of times around nobles so I think it's plausible that he picked up a few tricks, like this clothes one.

I don't think it makes him stronger or anything it seems to be just an aesthetic thing.

I didn't even think much about the clothes.

I realized they did change clothes to a darker version when Rai and Frank visited Lukedonia again, in match with the other nobles. It seems to me as if these nobles although they live in seclusion already they still choose to wear dark clothes to hide themselves or something. I would much prefer them wearing white robes like Roctis and that 4th Elder used recently. :P

Like Jammin, I don't think there is an important meaning of strength or something... Even vampires like to be tidy and looking good.
