Talk:Kureo Mado/@comment-31190419-20170210100842

The problem with the Mado theory: let's assume Scarecrow has a slit neck and is unable to speak correctly, rather than that he was choking on gas. Even though the noises he made seem like they could be choking ones associated with the gas, while Amon also seemed to have a little trouble getting his words out (see the "..." in his speech).

The (chronologically later) Scarecrow incarnation does not seem to have trouble speaking, nor does he appear to have a slit in his neck, nor does the Vol 2 profile picture show anything looking like a slit in the neck.

So unless he hid the scar well, that would mean the scar actually disappeared between the Amon rescue and the auction. Mado would've had to have the scar last for 3-ish years before having it heal up in a very short period of time for the next task, at least if we are talking about the neck scar that he obtained in his "fatal" battle. So without some sort of great medical exploits that seems pretty impossible...

I guess the scar could've been retconned but that just seems like bad writing. I'd rather believe it's sloppy drawing of a part of his costume or a temporary injury.
