Haha. Little do people know what the jika-tabi actually ARE a modern thing. Media just likes to portray older ninja with them because it fits the ttheme and they look cool, but they were invented rather recently for the sake of convenience for field workers. It's a case of Anachronism Stew. Old real-life ninjas really just wore regular boots, or else padded sandals or bandages when they were trying to be sneaky.

Aside from that, he's wearing a wetsuit, which old ninjas most certainly didn't have. They wore padded chainmail beneath their clothing, if anything. I do see how he might look a might bit too stereotypical, but I based that on the fact that ninjas are apparently a thing in this Remnant's culture, and his family was one of the forerunners of that style of combat.
