Acola, a Japanese Steve player on SSBU recently participated in a pretty big SSBU tournament and made it into the finals.
He usually wears a mask, but during this event he took it off so he could lock in harder, which is represented in this piece with Gaiking doing the same.
Specifically, it's in reference to Gaiking's "Face Open" technique/transformation in which it sheds its faceplate and removes its limiters for an increase in power. Additionally, the tournament was Kagaribi #13.
