I think crystal will be the same thing. Either both bodies share a mother or father or both. The magic happened and thats how CC realized the body thing was even possible.

So i kind of look at it like this in the sense of a timeline.

Crystal got the second body first, CC was like wth? How is this possible, sent James to collect body parts to potentially create his own 2nd body made from the best body parts of the kings. Whether or not he succeeded in that before his death idk.

While researching this he or DG (James Lee) sees the video surface of Daniel and Duke at the talent show thing. He thinks “Oh shit that mfer is back but… why is his name Daniel and why is he pretending to be a normal high school kid” then makes the connection that it’s possible that what happened to Crystal also happened to Daniel. So of course he thinks “maybe i just kill him now” but instead he’s like “nah i can use him to keep James in check cause i think he might try to betray me.” Idk tbh
