Mina Majikina had already been announced as an additional character, but now "Sogetsu Kazama" and "Iroha" were officially announced, along with another "??" and one other character will be added.
While "Mina Magikina" was already announced and "Sogetsu Kazama" was expected, I couldn't help but shout out when "Iroha" was announced.
Details of each character are as follows.
Mina Majikina
Mina Majikina is a character from "Samurai Spirits Zero" and a goddess of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
She is also placed at the center of the design on the "SNK x Okinawa Charity T-Shirt" that SNK sold as part of the Shuri Castle Reconstruction Charity.
Kazama Sogetsu
Kazama Sogetsu is the elder brother of Kazama Kazuki and Kazama Hazuki, and has appeared in "Samurai Spirits Amakusa Descent.
He is a Kazama-style ninja and uses water-based techniques targeted against Hazetsu.
In "Amakusa Descent", Kazama Kazuki became a "Nuke Shinobi" to save Hazuki, and Sogetsu became a "Oi Shinobi" to pursue Kazuki, so they are brothers, but in this work, the setting is different, so I wonder what kind of relationship they have.
Iroha
Iroha is a crane that appeared in "Samurai Spirits Tenkaichi Kenkakuden".
It is a crane that is in human form but disguised as a human.
He fights with a large two-piece sword called Houin and Houzui.
Season Pass 2 will be available in February!
Season Pass 2 will be offered in February. Mina Majikina will be added at the same time as Season Pass 2, but other characters will be added sequentially and the timing is yet to be determined.
