Why am I getting a berserk vibe from the third box? (Note the way hiryuu’s ear sword is held and angled)
It's called the "Obari Pose" (known as the sunrise_stance on Danbooru, by the way). It's an iconic pose since the 1980s. Which generation are you, by the way?
That's the difference. You know those dreams cannot be real. Enterprise, on the other hand, is going to try and yank those ears off just to see if they really are swords.
