    If it wasn't for that DBZ'ish power-level-detection-device and that pair of totally random red bangs of hair, I would have actually liked yuma's design.
    Yugi had a rediculous haircut as well, but he wasn't all over the top colorful like yuma is.
    But rly nice artwork!

    The hair is how they let the females know they're available. Combined with heavy starch on clothing, it's impossible not to notice them.

    According to recent research, brightly colored and fancifully arranged plumage is a way of showing females the health of the male's immune system, as individuals with more parasites and infections tend to be duller. Thus, the female uses bright colors in mate choice as a yardstick for how healthy the children can be expected to be. [/David Atenborough Voice]

    Males also tend to compete with each other over even the most trivial things with overly flashy maneuvers and actions in the hopes of getting the female's attention. However, some females of the species have been known to become involved in these conflicts, though we're yet to fully understand why.

    Researchers believe that these rival males are also drawn to the brightly colored plumage of other males and test themselves against one another in order to establish a pecking order of sorts.
