Line 88:
*** Not to mention the fact that, despite Junpei's incredibly detailed overview of the corpse, no one '''really''' got a good look at the corpse. I mean, really, even Clover didn't notice that {{spoiler|the corpse had two arms, while she knew her brother only had one real one}}.
**** Justified however, since Clover would hardly want to see Snake's body, if he had just exploded. She mentions at one point that she could hardly look at him.
*** Though the latter part mostly works because it is a gruesome death scene and no-one likes to look at the victim's face that long while the rest of his body is mush...especially if you see his clothes and immediately connect that to the person you know (and in Clover's case the person you love and have been living with all your life). Coupled with the shock it is no wonder no-one notices the difference. None of them is used to seeing corpses to think rationally and look closely for long. The original problem could be explained with Ace's carelessness. It's just that the formerly useless [[Reds]] are functioning and that someone must have done something. So he must assume that they MIGHT be close, and that is why he has to hurry. Or just the hurry alone caused him to overlook that part. He saw the clothes and the bracelet number and that was enough for him. Plus the person reacted to the name he was called. Add that to the killing intent that was primary in Ace's head and that leads to carelessness. Basically "clothes make the man", especially in Ace's case, due to his illness, it is to assume that Ace just is used to identify people's reactions and clothes and voices (which means, the clothes and that the person reacted to the name "Snake/Nils" rather than really taking into account that the hair color doesn't match. Now if we also assume he decided to kill Snake right there and then (I mean the decision to kill was already there but when and how was not decided yet, I guess), he didn't have much time to take action and just did. Like said, carelessness, it can have many reasons.
*** Two things, the hair color and style could be easily taken care of with a bit of hair dye and a quick hair cut. It doesn't have to be perfect, just good enough to fool someone who's not looking too hard, and it's something that Zero- magnificent bastard that she is- would undoubtedly have thought of. Second, Ace clearly has trouble telling everyone apart by hairstyle. Think it through. When he was asked to put the headshot cards in the correct slots, he couldn't do it. There are three people who should be immediately doable, the 9th Man, Clover, and Seven- they all have immediate distinguishing features(glasses, ear muffs, and a hat) that don't depend on facial features or hairstyle. Next are June, Lotus, and Santa. June's hair is much longer than everyone else's, Lotus's is in a very distinctive braid, and Santa's is a distinctive color. Ace's hair is also fairly distinctive. The only two that he could conceivably get confused on are Junpei and Snake. He hadn't memorized everyone's hairstyles yet, and so was going solely by clothing and voice.
** A bigger question: how did Ace recognize Snake as a former participant in the Nonary Game at all?
