I honestly hope that Kusubami is a Temnoceran.

I accepted that the Akuras were Carapaceons since the Temnoceran class didn't exist at the time. But starting with Baelidae, this reason started to wear thin and become essentially an excuse since Nerscylla would be created the same year.

I know that Frontier is treated as separate from the main series but that's no better as an excuse than the Temnoceran class not existing since Frontier and the main series are still linked to each other. We see elements of this link on both sides: Styles in Cross, Zinogre in this game, Lavasioth materials in 4U, etc.

So now's the time to drop the excuses and start reclassifying the Carapaceons that make more sense as Temnocerans as actual Temnocerans.
