Akule & Lelach possible connection

It's possible that Akule & Lelach are one & the same... Same hair & same necklace, also the exact same skintone. I guess we won't know till later on in the saga, but considering their models are close, it's a possibility.

That could mean anything...or as my brother says:

“	It is merely coincidence and nothing more~*	„

“	I don't think that's just a coincidence.	„
—Shamala

“	That's no coincidence.	„
—Shamala

If that were true and he didn't mass-produce masks, was that monkey mask for Demote from Akule?

Well some tribes (in real life) have made duplicates of masks, so yeah. Course there's also that cliche that "It was destiny."

I haven't finished it yet. I'm on the semi-final quest.

Hm, why the duplication though?

Well...that's not known. Maybe for war as battle masks...or something to show that you're in that tribe's land or...hell It's mask. You hide your face with it. There's a lot of interpretations behind it, and who knows? I know that there's duplicates, albeit not mass produced.

Akule(Ah-Koo-Lay) Lelach(Lay-{l}ah-Koo)

Is it safe to put this in trivia?

Uhm we already have that spoiler warning on the top...

I saw a side-by-side Akule and Lelach, they're definitely the same.

Also in the Episode 5 credits, Bhafel is shocked and collapses and then Shamala says "Teacher! I knew it was you!"

Yep, its true, they're the same.

Though there's something I don't get. If I'm not mistaken, Lelach's been infamous for a very long time, how'd he keep up both personas in the Holy Land of the Shamans?

Probably whenever Lelach was visible, Akule was conveniently away on 'business'.

He's a Shaman, perhaps he was able to create a doppelganger of some sort? But either way, nothing we can prove yet.

Ah, I guess that's true with Shadow Bunshin at all though its not a magic skill.
