[Goddess of Victory: Nikke] Costume implications

@djseifer what's the difference between Mustang (Past) (Nikke) and Mustang (Nikke)? The wikis are the same.

There are two Mustangs in Nikke. The present-time Mustang is Hanson, the son of the original Mustang, who took his name and identity after his father died. It's there in the wiki underneath the spoilers.

We need wiki previews to tell them apart then. And if they're different characters, should the implication be rejected? The 3 posts of the past version are also tagged with the main tag.

There was some foreshadowing that Mustang was a different person in the past, but the twist was that he's literally a different person, not just metaphorically. I think going with the implication would be best, both to keep the ruse going for people not in the know, and that both Mustangs look similar to each other anyways.

I've added appearance images in both of their wikis.

Past/Original

I agree with Hillside Moose that the implication in this case could move forward. This is one of those few rare times where an implication doesn't actually spoil the twist, given that they're using the exact same name and all. You actually have to know the story to understand there are "two Mustangs".
