[[WMG: Who is Peter Shinkoda's Hachiro? ]]
Since Hachiro doesn't appear to be an actual character from the comic, here's some speculation on who he may be.
* Hachiro is a fusion of both Bullseye and Lady Bullseye. He's Japanese like Lady Bullseye and shares her backstory, now involving Kingpin and a young boy, albeit condensed in a way that would explain why he would work for him like the original Bullseye.
* Hachiro is a stand-in for Silver Samurai, given a different name to avoid a lawsuit from FOX.
* Hachiro is a lawyer who is working against Matt Murdock in a case involving a crook based on one of DD's lesser foes like Wilbur Day (Stiltman) or Melvin Potter (Gladiator). Note that this one can be combined with the first theory, due to Lady Bullseye's cover job in the comics.
* Hachiro is a "preacher" who recruits people into The Hand, reimagined as a Japanese cult that has recently opened a facility in New York City. He can trick his "converts" into committing heinous acts for the Kingpin, like the Hand also does for Yakuza bosses in Japan.
* Hachiro is Kingpin's wingman who helps him court Vanessa. He'll be a way to show the audience Fisk's less composed, human side. Will probably end up being killed in the crossfire of Fisk's conflicts with Matt, leading to a more personal reason for the Kingpin to kill the Daredevil.
* Hachiro is meant to be a replacement for Matsuo Tsuryaba who's over with the X-Men rights at Fox.
* Hachiro is a criminal, native to New York, who Fisk hires to protect Vanessa from rivals who have learned of his affections for her.
* Hachiro is a Japanese tourist who suffers personal tragedy in New York because of Daredevil. His quest for revenge will cause him to become Ikari, who will turn up to be his main opponent in the Defenders series.



* She mentions in passing that she used to date a guy named Mike who used to keep secrets from her. Some have taken this as a hint that her ex-boyfriend might be Mike Peterson - AKA Deathlok - from ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''

* It would also give Iron Fist more martial artists to fight, and tie into [[spoilers: Madame Gao's likely Kun Lun ties, and why she was in New York in the first place.]]

[[WMG: The Hand will be the BigBad of the Defenders.]]
Aside from [[spoiler: losing Nobu, the Hand/the Japanese element of Fisk's crime organization]] is a KarmaHoudini, not being busted, and maintaining control over the city block they bargained for. Perhaps the next three series will slowly introduce more of [[spoiler: The Hand]], letting the city become slowly infested by it, before they're set up as the BigBad of the crossover miniseries. The war that Stick mentions would likely be against them.

[[WMG: Owlsley's son will be the MCU version of the Owl]]
Some fans were disappointed that the show's version of Leland Owlsley was an elderly accountant with no powers instead of a middle-aged superhuman crime lord. However, it's mentioned several times that he has a son named "Lee", possible short for "Leland, Jr." This could mean that Owlsley's son will appear in future seasons as the Owl, making him a DecompositeCharacter.

[[WMG: Daredevil will switch into a red outfit at the story's midway point. ]]
He can say something like "I can't tell myself, but I hear that I look lousy in black." Of course, they'd have a more practical reason for him to change outfits at that point. The line would just reference how some fans reacted to the black outfit.

[[WMG: There will be an episode told from Urich's POV.]]
It will focus on Urich discovering Daredevil's identity, and will also have some flashbacks exploring Daredevil's backstory.
* He'll be looking into the Kingpin's rise to power, which will lead to Matt needing to rescue him.

[[WMG: Matt and Karen will be broken up prior to the story.]]
It can be because of her drug addiction.
* Jossed. They'd never even MET before the first episode.



[[WMG: The series will undergo reshoots so that Urich works at the Daily Bugle.]]
* Now that Spider-Man is confirmed to be joining the MCU, it makes sense that Marvel might want to establish his universe in their world.
* Alternatively, they can have Season 2 open up with him being fired for his reports on [[VillainWithGoodPublicity honest businessman Wilson Fisk]], leading to him getting a job for a JK Simmons-played J Jonah Jameson. Leading to...

[[WMG: In the Netflix show, Leland Owlsey will be a CompositeCharacter with either Don Rigoletto or Alexander Bont.]]
The rise of the Kingpin is likely to be one of the first season's main storylines, and the fact that he hasn't married Vanessa yet implies that the show will have Wilson Fisk early in his career. The age difference between Owlsey and Fisk makes it possible that Owlsey will start the show as the most powerful crime lord, but will eventually lose the position to Fisk.

* Hachiro is a lawyer who is working against Matt Murdock in a case involving a crook based on one of DD's lesser foes like Wilbur Day (Stiltman) or Melvin Potter (Gladiator). Note that this one can be combined with the first theory, due to Lady Bullseye's cover job in the comics.
* Hachiro is a "preacher" who recruits people into The Hand, reimagined as a Japanese cult that has recently opened a facility in New York City. He can trick his "converts" into committing heinous acts for the Kingpin, like the Hand also does for Yakuza bosses in Japan.
* Hachiro is Kingpin's wingman who helps him court Vanessa. He'll be a way to show the audience Fisk's less composed, human side. Will probably end up being killed in the crossfire of Fisk's conflicts with Matt, leading to a more personal reason for the Kingpin to kill the Daredevil.

[[WMG: Vanessa will become pregnant with Richard Fisk, her son with Kingpin from the comics. ]]
There are a few different ways this could play out:
* Vanessa will shack up with Wilson and then give birth in the finale, possibly in a montage showing a long passage of time.
* Vanessa will reveal she's pregnant in the last episode, possibly just to confirm Richard's existence in the MCU.

[[WMG: Ben Urich's place in the plot. ]]

[[WMG: The Jester's civilian identity of John Powers will appear in an episode.]]
He'll be a struggling actor who is accused of theft. Matt and Foggy will refuse to defend him in court when he tries to hire them. Nothing big in the narrative, just a throwaway scene. Which would be a great pie in the face to the character.

[[WMG: Daredevil will switch into a red outfit at the story's midway point. ]]
He can say something like "I can't tell myself, but I hear that I look lousy in black." Of course, they'd have a more practical reason for him to change outfits at that point. The line would just reference how some fans reacted to the black outfit.
