Here's the full set of Ai Yokoyama's outfit designs for Daryun during the duel against the gods. These are from her Anima 02 artbook. They didn't get used in the end but it looks like she had a lot of fun drawing them!

Hilmes thoughts that I'm considering thanks to my fic. It occurs to me that Hilmes is basically... roughly the inverse of Kaykhusraw. To elaborate on that involves novel spoilers through to the end of the series, so consider yourselves warned.

Kaykhusraw: unified Pars under his banner with an army he raised himself Hilmes: invaded Pars under the Lusitanian banner as a 'guest general' of Lusitania

Kaykhusraw: defeated and sealed Zahhak using Rukhnabad Hilmes: attempted to take Rukhnabad and helped facilitate Zahhak's return

Kaykhusraw: first Shah of Pars Hilmes: never actually becomes king

Kaykusraw: betrayed and killed by his own son Hilmes: a son who was betrayed by his own 'father', who ordered his death

Kaykhusraw: founder of his dynasty, royal line began with him Hilmes: last of that lineage, the royal line died with him

Oof.

Am I using this pattern to inform my ever-growing set of personal Kaykhusraw headcanons? Yes.
