Primary white with medium azure accents and metallic silver highlights. The 'power' elements provide a Trans-Neon Orange contrast.

High-quality pad printing on the head wrap, torso (front/back), and legs (front). Includes crisp metallic silver details that simulate futuristic technology/ice.

Standard Zane variants (FS) exist across the season, but this specific 'njo548' version is distinguished by the specific torso design found in the Castle of the Forsaken Emperor.
