It's been a while.
Back to Voltaire, the thread title is his name after all!

Voltaire's fashion sense: vampire.
I need to keep on collecting the manga, I only have 1-3. *sigh*

...vampire? =/

Uh...if I recall correctly, in the manga, Soichirou/Voltaire wears your typical Japanese matriarch outfit i.e. hakama, short kimono (y'know, like that thing Kenshin wears?), and a dark coat.

His outfit in the anime, however... I'm thinking no sense! It makes him look pretty stupid, now that I look at it again; back when Beyblade first aired here, I thought it was a little intimidating. =P

But here's food for thought: what if there was an illustration - a single panel in an entire manga volume, for instance - where Voltaire was in a button-down shirt, pressed pants...and sneakers?

xD I'm sorry; its just that... well, I've several pics of my grandfather, and he could pass for a real-life Voltaire (with less sneering/leering/smirking). And he happened to be wearing that outfit in one pic. :lol:

Lolo, ano 'ba (Grandpa, what is with you)?!

...damn... now I've the urge to draw that... xD

You are correct!
In the manga he wears traditional Japanese attire, I guess to get the feel of the Russian side of him they put him in a giant, dark mansion in a long cloak.
It works for him, because he is scary.
