206 – Item Get!
Tanananahhh~ I swear this is the only way to receive magical items if you’re blonde, especially if said magic item can change your age. I also love Kingdom Hearts because it’s an Action-RPG, has Disney + Final Fantasy characters, and for inventing the dab.
An alternate idea for the third panel was him just thinking about dabbing and/or Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox, whatever it is kids are into these days (s-shut up, I’m still young at 28!). I’m reluctant to use memes or pop culture references since I’m not even sure which ones are known here in the Philippines. Still, I’d rather draw him dabbing than just a boring standing or surprised pose. I’ve also drawn Myan dabbing in the past just in case you’ve missed that.
Let’s see if I can make Cruz look actually younger rather than just a chibi version of him. Chibi is not that bad though, since chibis are cute, and cute equals young-looking. I’ll try either way!

Hibi-Hibi: It's done, here you go Cruz!
[Cruz received a Belt of Youth!]
Cruz: Now how do I turn this on? Do I have to bring out my inner child or something?
Hibi-Hibi: Just think childish thoughts!
Cruz: Oh, I know just the thing.
Tammy: Put.it.on! Put.it.on!!
Tammy: Of course he dabs to transform...
Cruz: Gotta take advantage of my license to be a dumbass again!
Keith: Like you needed a license for that.
Is it just me, or does Cruz not really look younger? May it’s because he didn’t look very much like an adult, even before the transformation? He wasn’t exactly a bodybuilder, but I would assume his kid-size arms would be more…spindly? I hope I don’t seem rude.
Haven’t drawn much children since the last time I drew them were the two boys in page 92.
I did mention that children might just look chibi versions of themselves so I’m gonna try to depict Cruz more “realistic” as a kid. I’m fine with them looking chibi though since cute or chibi = child-like.
To be honest, I’m surprised he didn’t transform immediately after putting it on (his childishness doesn’t have an off button)
I was not familiar with a definition for “dab” that would fit what Cruz is doing here, but I found one on Urban Dictionary, currently the 22nd definition, apparently posted by user “Yad ecin a evah” on March 31, 2016.
I don’t browse or lurk much, but most people who do should’ve known what dabbing is.
It’s impossible not to hear the crack of a whip on that transformation.
wha-pish
