What if @synce was right? What if it is a exoskeleton robot? I mean look at Marie's Deception costume they can sorta pull it off. But if it is a Trap character make her as nasty as Poison my life would be complete.

"—What do you have to say about the new character announcement for DOA 5: Last Round?
Hayashi: I can’t give any details, but for the new character we’re introducing, their creation has already been set. We think we can debut them around March 2016, so please enjoy the wait. All I can tell you is that we’ve never gone in this direction with a character."

I'm calling a trap character (whether it's a male who looks like a female or a female who looks like a male, although if we were to get a trap the former would probably be more likely).

I forgot to ask where is the source for this?

I'm sticking with robot but trap would also be cool.

If it's the latter you can thank Argentus! XD

Don't "trap" characters fall into that stereotype of trans people being deceptive and fall into that "oh no does this make me gay" type of crap?!
The idea of a trans character is great but I'm not sure if that is the best direction to go with it even if I do love Poison who is pretty much the most famous one.

No. a trap does not automaticaly equate to being transsexual.

That's just SJW nonsense. They're always looking for pointless shit to be offended about.

Wait what

That Eliot costume haha

Maybe TN is trying to create a LGBT character to appeal to its fanbase.
I wouldn't hold my breath on this happening in any DOA game. Only thing I can imagine is them adding a lesbian/bisexual that hits on the girls because that's fappable to the "core" fan base.

Maybe I'm just cynical lol

Even though I'd be interested in a trap character, I wouldn't say I necessarily really want one. TN said they never went this direction with a character which makes me honestly think it is likely that or perhaps a furry.

I doubt it'll be SOLELY a badass male character or a moe young female as TN has done that multiple times in DOA already.

I'm not sure why people think that it will be a furry. I know people are quick to blame Japan for any weird fetish, but I'm pretty sure furries are more of a western thing. in Japan they seem to preffer Nekos almost exclusively over anthros.

Expectation release of the character may arrive in March.

http://shoryuken.com/2015/08/25/dead-or-alive-5-last-round-newcomer-should-arrive-in-march-2016/

It's likely to be an entire new character. So I expect the character inheriting a movelist from a previous old character or a brand new moveset.

And for Pete's sake. Enough with the idea that Raidou is the pops of Honoka. It is still unconfirmed and small speculation to the scenario at this point. For all we know, Honoka could of been a captured individual with memory loss/changed memory with Donovan having technology to create a device (glove) to copy other moves and for mass production while Honoka having the first prototype to copy moves. She could of possibly happen to run into Raidou within the facility, basement, upstairs, downstairs, MTV Donovan's hou- Look you get the point.

The timeline does not make sense. (Never made sense to begin with seeing as how DOA plot rambles to a void of unexplained twists and randomness.) There is no information on the timeline and no proof that Raidou added another child to his miserable family life of hate. Just because Raidou is considered a rapist you cannot conclude the situation for him having another offspring. For all we know, his pipe may have been removed and completely gone within the explosion from his pre-death experience and I'm sure Donovan would not invest his time into giving this man a pipe to create more children.

Yes, in the DLC thread the matter was discussed using as source just the translation of the Famitsu interview, if you are interested here the link: http://americanorientalism.tumblr.com/post/127381282863/doa-xtreme-3-interview-translation

By the way I believe that the character will come in March for the Japanese Arcade (Hayashi in the past had already hinted to a similar development and actually would make perfectly logical), so I believe that for the console users (and PC?... -_-) the actual date will be around June.

And for Pete's sake. Enough with the idea that Raidou is the pops of Honoka. It is still unconfirmed and small speculation to the scenario at this point. For all we know, Honoka could of been a captured individual with memory loss/changed memory with Donovan having technology to create a device (glove) to copy other moves and for mass production while Honoka having the first prototype to copy moves. She could of possibly happen to run into Raidou within the facility, basement, upstairs, downstairs, MTV Donovan's hou- Look you get the point.

Of course it's not confirmed and no one can say the opposite, but in similar cases the explanation more simple should be the one considered more likely until further revelations. So far is more easy to say that Honoka is a secret children of Raidou (if really the copycat ability is a natural one of Raidou and Honoka's glove is just a way to hide her hand and not the source of her power - as seems hinted from the red aura released from her bare hand), than a scenario like the one that you described. And also the need of the developers to say that Honoka wasn't raised from her parents and to create a tag team between her and Ayane appear suspecious (together with being the only 2 characters to own unnatural and similar colors of hairs and eyes).

Again, I'm not saying that we couldn't realize in future that the truth is completely different, just because nothing is confirmed so far. But if people want try to imagine what is Honoka's mistery, just now make actually more sense to think that Honoka inherited her power from Raidou as her daughter because is the scenario more simple and that requires less speculation possible.

The timeline does not make sense. (Never made sense to begin with seeing as how DOA plot rambles to a void of unexplained twists and randomness.) There is no information on the timeline and no proof that Raidou added another child to his miserable family life of hate. Just because Raidou is considered a rapist you cannot conclude the situation for him having another offspring. For all we know, his pipe may have been removed and completely gone within the explosion from his pre-death experience and I'm sure Donovan would not invest his time into giving this man a pipe to create more children.

I don't understand where is the problem with the timeline:
  • Around 20 years before the DoA5 events Raidou conceives Ayane coupling with Ayame. Consequently he leaves the Mugen Tenshin village and/or is exiled from it;
  • 19 years before the DoA5 events Ayane was born; Raidou still wanders far from the village;
  • 18 years before the DoA5 events possibly Raidou conceives Honoka somewhere in Japan and behind unknown reasons (why people think automatically that he abused of another woman? Maybe this time the thing could be consentient);
  • Along the last 18 years, Honoka is raised from her grandmother far from her parents for unknown reasons; meanwhile Raidou enters in contact with Victor Donovan, accepting to take parts to his generical experiments on his own body. Consequently he returns to the village, cripples Hayate stealing the Sky Torn Blast, enters in the first DoA tournament and find his death against Kasumi and Hayabusa. Finally he is resurrected as an half cyborg from the same Donovan (thing happened in the gap of 2 years between DoA4 and DoA5).
PS: I just realized that maybe I could have been victim of trolling xD I'm not sure if you was completely serious or less.

PPS: On a sidenote I just tried for fun to imagine a scenario similar to what you mentioned, so where Donovan is involved but Honoka remains Raidou's daughter: what if Raidou would have met Donovan less than one year after his leaving the village? Honoka could have been a "natural" experiment of the current MIST born from the collaboration of the exiled ninja: the men of Donovan could have artificially fertilized Raidou' semen and experimented for leaving dominant the eventual genes of Raidou responsible of his copycat skill (thing that would justify why Ayane didn't own it and why Donovan wasn't interested to her). In this way the loving grandmother (that very likely is genuinely affectionate to Honoka) could be secretely an agent of Donovan with the assigned duty to raise his "experiment", a situation with some resemblances to Kokoro and Miyako's relationship.

Of course I don't believe at all that this is the actual story of Honoka xD A birth in a test tube with the only purpose to be a weapon of Donovan would be a story too much dark for Honoka's character, more for this background we have already Phase 4. Also this wouldn't explain the reasons for not accelerating the growing process and for making live her as a normal girl, things that don't make sense.
