I know it's a month until Pirate day but I got nothing else, so....

Choose for your character, pirate or ninja?

Well, we've got official art involving Yamato dressed as a pirate.



And he's not remotely subtle enough to be a ninja. Like, thematically, ninja should fit -- he's a kid from a former shizoku family who's heavily associated with death and the night, and all of Gabumon's evolutions focus on speed and misdirection, but since none of the Chosen have ever heard of subtlety in their lives and the one time Yamato went on a stealth mission he cut a mountain in two, it's fair to say they're all pirates just by the logical extension of 'all of these kids will do things in the least sneaky, most dramatic way possible.'

Despite occasions being called the Blackwell Ninja for her snoopin- er, I mean her information-gathering skills, Max is firmly on the side of the Pirates. She and Chloe's childhood days of playing pirates are a treasured memory, and the mild-mannered photog does still rock flaming skull and crossbones on her sneakers.

Yrael is definitely a ninja, though he approves of the pirates' lawlessness and willingness to do/take what they want when they want it.

As someone who absolutely fails at being sneaky and can't stand wearing black, who prefers bright colors and working in the open daylight, Sunshine would default to pirate. Except she would dislike the lawlessness and take-what-one-wants pirate lifestyle, and would jive more with the grim-but-necessary-nighttime-ruthlessness of ninjas. So which way she would choose probably would vary depending on when she was asked.
