The fact that Gaius so far is the only Garlean we've encountered with such a unique sword style like his that it took Varius recreating it through Emerald Weapon with several extra arms instead of just two, makes me wonder if Ravana's style and looks were based off a younger Gaius wearing different armor and a less polished style to his gunblade sword play.
