So it could either be a oni warrior or still be the slit mouth woman
so my theory is that it could still be the slit mouth woman if we are going by the urban legend (not carved that was just a take on it) she has her mouth slit by her jealous husband because she was having an affair which could be the scene in the new teaser but from the point of view of the husband to mislead us on thinking it’s s samurai or oni guard to keep that hype up what do you all think?

i'm still banking on the slit mouth woman judging from that trailer tbh
we'll see soon however
that would only be a slight change in the story, the essence is still the same
it could also just be based on the slit mouth woman? maybe they put their own twist on it.
Let's keep in mind that devs don't have to stick with a character, they could just take (heavy) influence and create a similar one.
The whole trailer is based on the Woman's story, read it from wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuchisake-onna
100% Kuchisake-onna
i'm just gonna Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V my post on an other thread
How to demonstrate it's the slit-mouthed woman :
1) the man in the trailer talked. This would be a first after so many killers and survivors to get a character who actually talk beside the Entity, so probably not to show off the killer but more the story of the killer.
2) in the Slit-mouthed woman legend she cheated on her samourai husband who slitted her mouth in a big smile. then she suicided and roamed around to ask people if she was pretty. She also usually wears a surgery mask such as Feng in her first set of cosmetics.
3) the mask we see in the first second of the trailer is an Hannya mask. Hannya are vengeful woman spirit seaking revenge.
4) the fact that the man say "daugther" doesn't means his victim is his daughter but could be just him quoting a famous poem like a lot of villain before killing someone does in movies or series ( Joker in Batman 1989 or Jules in Pulp Fiction quoting the Bible )
I agree 100%!
The next killer is going to be the slit-mouthed woman.
I noticed something on the trailer. There was already a pool of blood on the ground before he raised the sword. Maybe she'll have the slit mouth but also be missing some limbs. Creeeepy
We are born to die. The more we wait, the more pain we carry." Could mean that the samurai could kill the daughter(slit mouth's) and the samurai could be the survivor and slit mouth still be the killer.
You hear more than just one cut. The Sword also wasn't in that kind of angle you need to cut her mouth.
I hope it's Kuchisake onna, I'm not against the killer being a samurai or anything but she just sounds so much more interesting.
You are correct. But there is already blood on the ground beforehand so what happened there? We may never know lol
God, i hope it's Kuchisake-onna,Much More interesting than an original samurai killer or whatever that was in that video,well,Dissapointed
I just don't think its Kuchisake Onna anymore. It might be a female killer who comes back as a spirit, but not Kuchisake.
"Everything is useless, girl (or" daughter ", both are the same term" Musume "in Japanese)"
"Every human being will die with the passage of time"
"The agony will grow more"
and the kanji "起死回生" means "miraculous reversal" (like getting up dead).
Father kills his daughter for her religion .. and the daughter will be resurrected from the dead as a demon spirit.
Still much to be revealed. It would still be cool to have a bloody girl demon spirit chasing us lol I'm sure we'll find out soon enough
I think the newer video is the killer origin video. How she came to be.
I don't think she will be called that... Kind of like the huntress, where she is based off a real life killer. The new killer will have her own story that will mesh in with the current lore.
the Huntress is based on a true story ? Oo
I thought she was based of some dutch killer or maybe some folklore or whatever. That is sort of what I meant, not so much a real life killer. I'll have to find the info about it.
I remember she was based on the Bunny Man from.the Urban Legend
http://www.fangotv.com/dead-by-daylight-unleashes-the-huntress-in-new-chapter-a-lullaby-for-the-dark-exclusive/
There is a question they ask about inspiration for her. So not based on the real killer, just some stories and such. Kind of like I believe this new killer will be. So not a real life killer, made a mistake there, meant folklore, fairy tail stuffs.
--- taken from article.
Q: What was the inspiration behind the new Killer?
A: We were inspired by a lot of very cool folklore from Eastern Europe and Russia. So many cool stories are told about people living in the deep forests, cut off from the rest of the world and yet quite solidly rooted in that rich culture. We looked at a lot of legends that had to do with “people that time forgot”, a mix of tradition and wilderness.
The lullaby itself is an old Russian song called “Bayushki bayu”. We wanted to make sure that it felt genuine and we are hoping that some of our Russian players get an extra layer of intensity from childhood memories.
The Oni Mask in Japanese is extremely common and refers to the belief in a spirit world in which demons carry out their roles of punishing the unjust and evil, as well as spreading disease (seems like a random thing to be responsible for, but I guess it fits in with the whole evil-doing)
So the guy is punishing her?
Obvoiusly he’d be a killer; if he was a survivor, because of self care he’d no longer NEED HEALING!
The Entity takes people responsible for great acts of evil to become its Killers. This means the new Killer is a Samurai, but more than that, he's an Oni. Oni are malevolent creatures who share a resemblance with stereotypical western demons.
They don't talk in-game, but they were capable of speech before being taken by the Entity. I'll stick to the Oni idea.
Only if the devs are intentionally trying to throw us off the scent by showing us half the picture. Everyone familiar with DbD lore knows the Entity takes people who committed great acts of evil to be its Killers. It doesn't take victims of those acts of evil.
He's a samurai. "Honor" killings aren't usually rooted in anything bad by today's standards; they're rooted in archaic principles of what constitutes "honor".
Has anyone written Haiku,
About Suicidal Seppuku,
Cuz I just did it
LOL OMG they play the rest of the trailer and it is a pull back from a screen and then this....

Which only proves my point further. As far as we know, she refused an arranged marriage or something.
it's not an Oni mask but an Hannya mask

Hannya is a vengeful woman spirit which seak revenge.
They look identical.
