took the spaces away, fun. now it looks like i don't know what punctuation is. anyways, just don't get confused -- i'll give 100 dollars each to everyone who made this page if i'm wrong

in the chinese version, banyue (eyes pop out of head) was referred to as "master", or shifu banyue. taking from that and the fact that his clothes are yellow, he's more likely to be a part of yunkui summit instead of KCA zhao and dialyn are both in KCA, also judging from the similar color scheme in their designs (light/aquamarine blue and dark red colors) why he was placed next to dialyn and zhao, i'm not sure. you'd have to ask the zzz trailer/teaser production team.
