Why does it make more sense in the game he got older in look
like first of all he grew up malnourished and mistreated by his family like ofc hes gonna look underdeveloped. Plus he uses magic to make up for what hes lacking psychically, so how would he even put in the work to use his muscles and get buff.
my hc is that in the game eve used his magic to become all buff and scary since early in the story we could see him feeling inadequate like he's not cool or manly enough. But that here he's gonna stay like this because Gozu thinks hes cool anyway and so he doesnt feel the need to change.
i get ppl like the buff eve version, but lore wise it makes more sense for him to look younger so like...
