Well, Kasen isn't confirmed for deva, and I mean ZUN isn't the most subtle, but surely he's not beyond Red Herrings.

Still, a sword-wielding oni?

Sometimes...fear... is the appropriate response.

Why would you be scared of a touhou oni. They're the most awesome partiers around

Maybe Kasen's missing arm took on a life of it's own?

Uh, yeah... hair bow or Deva horns... or something else...

Really, what I'm looking forward to the most is the new music. The known music is already good, and the music from Stage 4 onwards tends to be top notch.

Clearly you don't know much about oni. Why would they need to be on guard when there's drinks to be had

And they can use the swords to open the sake bottles. BRILLANT.

She dips her sword in sake, she slashes rapid fire and you die of blood loss and alcohol poisoning.

I should really stop speculating like this.

[up][up] It is vitally important that besides the potential horns/ears and sword of this mysterious shadowy silhouette, we also remember that she has legions of zombie.

I'm just waiting for it to be like the last couple of games. "WHO'S THAT TOUHOU!" "IT'S MIMA!" "IT'S ... UTSUHO REIUJI!" "GOD DAMMIT!"

A Utsuho in the hand is worth two Mima in the bush.

Also, those fans are terrible at identifying Touhou. Simply awful.

On a more serious note, someone suggested it could be Layla Prismriver, based on what appears to be a hat like the other sisters and Yuyuko's comment about "someone familiar" coming back — she didn't say it'd be familiar to us ...

Layla does have a habit of dealing in spirits. My god, it may even fit provided she learned to transition from summoning simulacrums of her sisters to necromancy at some point in time.

Which is why I'm betting it's noone old and it's all new people.

Saddly, no Mima, no Kasen, not Rika (whom I could have thought of) and definitely not Youmu's oni mother being resurrected back from the grave.

...

What? someone had to make the joke, you know that's gonna happen

Only an oni could survive the sheer masculinity of Youki, clearly.

Sword + horns = Final boss. And youmu is Sword. That or the final boss is Suika and Youmu's secret love child so secret that they know nothing about it, despite giving birth to it and it not dying.

And her father's secretly the god of cherry blossoms, which explains all of her sakura motifs.

Ha. There

(Wasn't Youki her grandfather?)

I'd like to point out that it is a ZUN art silhouette and Layla did create three spirits and we never did learn what she looked like.

Who knows what the arcane arts did to her. Who knows how deep she delved.

Gah, I wish ZUN didn't tease us like this! It's cruel... clever, but cruel.
