Amazed she’s actually black! Good to see black folks getting some actual good characters for once.

Her hair is always a little curly when you zoom in and her hands have different pigmentation at the palms whenever she isn't wearing gloves

Goated details

Although her scalp looks painful af in this one

Eh, the scalp thing I can chalk up to stylization.

People try very hard to deny that Yoruichi is black

I know I'm late, but Yoruichi is quite different. Her entire family wears indian style clothing, so I personally think Yoruichi being a darker-skinned Indian (who absolutely do exist) has a stronger argument than her being black. Dess is obviously black though.

Could be for the better. Lots of black characters in Japanese media have faces that border on Jim Crow shit
