But yeah, what I was gonna say was... This is getting into headcanon territory, but the more I think of it, the more I think that Mokuba trying to look grown up just doesn't really fit with his character to me. By which I mean like... the clearly "more than just presentation" types, like with what happened with his hair. Yes, all younger kids tend to go through a phase of "I wanna be really grown up", but with Mokuba, there's two core issues with why that doesn't make sense for him.
1) He already is. Mokuba is the acting vice president of a company with (if I recall right) world-wide contracts. He's more grown up than a ton of grown ups. And everyone in KaibaCorp takes him seriously, so there's no way he'd feel the need to overcompenstate much. Yes, he's still a kid and his confidence can be hurt, but he's also MOKUBA FUCKING KAIBA. With Seto and the company backing him, I just can't see him as having his confidence shattered so much he'd put on the whole show at all times.
2) When kids want to act grown-up, they mimic the adult they're closest to, that person's style and everything. They want to be like them. And who is the adult Mokuba looks up to most? The fashion disaster that'd bring over the entirety of the TSA in an airport. So... yeah.
Him being in a suit and all presentable like that because he's running KaibaCorp during this makes perfect sense, but I can't see him wearing that casually.
I can't see him doing anything childishly "grown up" casually, because he's already dealing with actual adults and he kinda knows how they work.
