The background was darkened to better show off the sparkles. It also makes Ryujin stand out better.

Looks like Ryu is showing off his heroic side, without the inherent creepiness.

And I before anyone says the obvious ‘What? They were childhood friends? When the hell did this happen?’. I would like to remind those of who haven't read through in a while that papa mentions he's been friends with the chief of police for years to keep himself out of suspicion of being a Mob Boss. Since we also saw Mika and Kyoko as kids being read a bedtime story by Kyoko's dad, it's a safe bet that Ryu and Koko, being of the same generation, were probably having play dates as kids as well.

And for those of you too lazy to read this, I will not respond to this particular question in the comments section. I can't do everything for you, kiddies! ^__^
