The Bright Warrior in its swordsman mech configuration projected a distinct impression to the audience.
Those who watched the broadcast only caught a hint of it, but the people sitting on one of the many elevated viewing platforms were able to sense its presence a bit better.
Even though the audience was too far away to truly experience its glow, if they were any closer, they would have felt its welcoming embrace.
This was a product of the Bright Warrior's heavily-altered spiritual design.
For one, he made an agreement with Goldie to play nice with whoever piloted the mech. He also dug deep into the dueling mech's spiritual DNA to widen its target audience.
The Bright Warrior product line was never supposed to be piloted by non-Larkinsons. This was baked into its very identity and served as the root of its existence.
