A reincarnation I could see. In fact I have seen it. The entire plotline of Inuyasha revolved around a girl inheriting the powers of a long dead shrine maiden with no kids (and then time travel got involved, and there were demons, and filler episodes).
Reincarnation could be cool. If only to see someone walk up to Hisako and have her be all like
Hisako: “Who are you?”
Discount Samurai Jack: “I’m you but angstier… and also with pants”
I am very faimilar with inuyasha and the filler 
Idk I thought it would be a interesting idea, but I guess that’s not the case here. Wish we had more to go off of.
I could be down with it, but I’m also willing to bet that there’s a little more of the Stench of Death about the character. I’m guessing either another spirit wielding the blade or (preferably) a blade animating the body of a host or acting symbiotically with them like a tag-team.
Hmm…
Katanas, possibly goth, possibly shadow Orchid…
…got it, it’s Black Orchid.

I like how Hisako’s father is the only viable option in that chart besides other. Every other character is a pipe dream.
Wait, you said the song was “Mask Off” by Future?
Could that be a clue, as in like Mask of the Ancients?
I know @rukizzel said it was just a funny video, but…
-SE1Z3 aka @franciscapra
We are probably just trying to see too much.
The girl from the video just moved her arms like trying to kill a thousand mosquitoes. Just add a katana.
IMO katana wielding char could go by two ways:
-Big and slow cuts,ala Hisako normals
-Fast multi cuts, ala Tusk qcb p linker
Imo this char will have a healthy mix of both
I can say this, the character will definitely be reusing Hisako’s Influence ender animation where she goes straight through the opponent, possibly also a faster version of her rekkas.
Some of my suspects:
-Spinal normals
-Jago sword attacks(both normals and specials)
-Orchid baton attacks
-Hisako attacks
-Tusk attacks
-Arbiter normals
RELATIVE was the key word in a previous hint.
Father’s weapon
RELATIVE
Jago or Hisako brother/ sister / cousin/ aunt /uncle /grandparent etc
I’m a bit lost. Which hint?
Also, from the Novella, chap 6:
“I will give them me,” said ARIA. “I will reveal myself to them. And then I will provide the information that they crave. For Maya: Our surveillance footage showing that her sister Mira is alive and a member of the Coven. For Jago and Orchid: The history of their grandmother and the Aries 9 project, as well as proof about how their father really died. For TJ: Full disclosure on how his DNA was altered. I will also let them know about the swordsman Tusk; and the teenager who has been under surveillance for the past year: Kim Wu. I will reveal the history of Glacius and everything that we know about Kan-Ra and Hisako. I will even offer to return Night Guard relics stolen from Sabrewulf. And I will guarantee them that all of my agents, including the assassin Sadira and yourself, the Stalkers and Mark 03 battle units, will cooperate with them on missions. They will see the logic: That the only path is to join together in this alliance.”
Jago and Orchid’s Grandmother and father past and death remain in the shadows. Also, he is one of the few characters who has been named but could be alive, since his death it’s suggested but not confirmed, and even if he died, well, you know, Hisako and Spinal doesn’t seem to have a problem with that
I’ve heard the trope a billion time that jago and orchid are brother and sister, though I would have an easier time believing a link between jago and hisako. It’s hard to tell when hisako doesn’t live to tell the tale.
it’s just a guess.
I did not imply that jago and Hisako are related, just wondering if the father reference will be linked to Jago’s father or to Hisako’s father.
Maybe it’s a link to rash’s father lol or could be aria’s supposed ‘father’
What with the Sherlock Holmes mystery of reveals this game has anyone can conjure up a breadth of ideas and lore between actual announcements
Either the character is a descendant of Hisako’s family line, or Hisako’s father was reborn/reincarnated in the modern era.
Wow, I guess I guessed right then. Or at least near the ballpark. Woo!
You guys are jumping fast to the Hisako father train
Maybe it could be “Shadow Hisako”
Hope to be wrong and being her father
Not necessarily. Someone asked, “Hisako’s dad, or Happy Hisako?”, and they replied:
That is the question, isn’t it?
Ugh why is everything they type so ambiguous and misleading?! Kappa
