This is an updated enhanced remake of this previous image, in which Leo gives Blue the honorable hand salute for his achievements in his quests, in the form of finding a magical music card. The updates include the fact Blue's sister, Pink, is also a witness, and Leo has his updated uniform instead of the classic version, while holding his magical mace.

Blue's full explanation for the changes is as follows (as seen on his profile):

*1) The 2013 version was done at 72 DPI, while this and the other two remakes were done at 300 DPI. The original art used only 8 layers total, first remake at 21 layers, the second remake at 46 layers and this one being as much as 97 layers.
*2) This version was done on a tablet with four programs while also using Adobe Photoshop brushes and resources. Paint Tool SAI (version 1.2.5 as the first two remakes were done with version 1.1.0), FireAlpaca, Photopea (a free online clone of Adobe Photoshop) and GIMP.
*3) Perhaps the most noteworthy change. But just like the second remake, Pink is also included as before. However, this time, they are drawn in their current appearances with their fifth mainstay clothing for all three characters as opposed to using the original clothing like in the first three versions. Leo himself requested that they’d be featured this way to really pay off being a special anniversary image.
*4) I have taken advantage of my hardware by making this image a lot larger by getting it at a 21:9 ratio image as mentioned. A nice 5120x2160 image, given the resolution for an Ultra Widescreen 4K image. Now it’s even more clean than ever before.
*5) Everything has been entirely drawn and put together from the ground up. The backgrounds, the special effects and everything. New free-to-use Photoshop brushes have been used for this as well as a new cityscape that resembles Wildcat City.
*6) The house seen before in the previous versions can now finally be seen in full here. In addition, more houses are now seen to take advantage of the distance as well as more trees and poles have been added. Even a road has been added on the far-right of the image. There is also blowing leaves too.
*7) Blue, Pink and Leo have been entirely re-drawn from scratch and with much more improved experience and since this was all digitally drawn with no traditional image proceeding, they all look even more better than before and more structured than the previous three versions.
*8) Gerbera flowers have been added next towards the new re-designed tall grass stalks to really give the image more nature life.
*9) New sun sparks have been entirely re-implemented from scratch.
*10) A beautiful rainbow has been added with sparkles to support to show that things have come full circle in this version.
*11) A new mirror frame was added with neon glowing tubes around with various glass textures used for the rainbow colors. New metal textures was used from a heavily modified free Photoshop texture image.
*12) 2013-2023 has been added below to reflect the 10 years. A nice touch.
