2 comments postedI've said in the past that I'm really into the aesthetic of this series, but...this is maybe a little too much. Like, I could imagine this as a joke in Futurama.
The general idea is that this crest looks like the Date Masamune crescent moon crest, one of the most famous samurai helmet decorations. If it was tilted like the Masamune crescent, it would make more sense.
