Changed my mind, I have interesting things to say, and they're positive.
The detail in the design is actually quite nice If you pay attention you see that the piece of clothing dangling on his back is his sleeve. He's unable to wear this sleeve with the armor he's wearing on his arm, due to the shoulder pad. On his other arm, however, you can see that the armor doesn't rise to his shoulder, and so he can wear it. Also on this same arm you can see that the sleeve is stitched together, but not on the other arm.
What this implies is pretty interesting.
Zangetsu is unable to put his coat on normally because of the armor on his arms. He's unable to remove this armor that is on his arms, otherwise he'd just remove it and put his coat on first. This coat seems important to him though, as he didn't simply just cut off the other sleeve that he cannot use, and he bothered to have the one sleeve stitched together. We can see that a chain is wrapped around the shorter piece of armor. The obvious conclusion is that this armor is demonic in nature, and that he's possessed. This chain serves to restrict the demonic power to keep it from consuming his body. He also has a similar chain around his waist, and around his ankles. Perhaps even his boots are demonic in nature.
This all also implies that he's been under this curse for some time, as the coat was put on after the curse had taken place, and he's already determined a means of living with the curse. The talismans on his right arm imply that the chains he's using on his other limbs are not effective enough. His right arm is this source of the curse, and requires the most effort to control.
His appearance looks as if he's in some sort of military, but given all these other details I don't think we can assume that, though it's still likely. The coat is likely not demonic at all, and seems to belong to a military uniform, he likely chose to wear this coat for a reason. The armor he's wearing might also be based off what he was wearing at the time of his being cursed.
Quite an interesting design. I like it, and I am really looking forward to his character.

Thanks for this capture of the stream, Dengojin! I love it. Zangetsu's pose looks so awesome. |

thrashinuva although i think you looked into some details that they probably haven't thought about it, you made really interesting points that could really be true. And that would be awesome.

thrashinuva although i think you looked into some details that they probably haven't thought about it, you made really interesting points that could really be true. And that would be awesome. The major thing that conflicts with this is Bloodstained is about a crystal curse, and this armor curse is anything but crystal. However, the source of the crystal curse is through the demonic realm, and so there could very well be more than one kind of curse, and could be why it's affected a far eastern swordsman rather than another European. |

So the video most of us had seen was cut off, skip to 2:51:25 to see the last couple of minutes of it:
Basically, the rest mentions that there are some final lighting changes to be done, more about the significance of samurai in Kyoto, IGA's own outfit that day and closing.
If you missed everything before the model spin, check that out too. They mention that temple concept art setting that we haven't seen in a couple of years, and turns out Zangetsu being the character he is will tie together a lot of plot points for the game, coincidentally. Pretty interesting, no idea how that works yet heh.

Oh, and I have no idea why the actual twitch stream had those weird bodysuit interruptions. Seemed kind of tasteless to me.

TBH, I was not very interested in Zangetsu as a character before, but this model is so impressive that it intrigues my interest lol That black katana with metal chains though. Ichigo Kurosaki from BLEACH anyone?  |

I actually found out about this reveal from you guys! I didn't attend BitSummit so it was really surprising. I'm sorry that I couldn't give a heads up - the team apologized for not telling me their plan beforehand but everyone here caught up so quickly, it's amazing! We also uploaded a HD version of Zangetsu's model video on Facebook - www.facebook.com/bloodstainedrotn/videos/1146376392174748/ |

And new theory, young girl as 3rd playable character, not Johannes. Miriam, Zangetsu is almost a given. Why? This letter: "Hello Army of the Night! IGA here. Thank you for waiting so patiently for this first update. Thanks again for the massive support which led this Kickstarter to become a major success. You are a great group of backers. Now that the funding has come in, I’m looking at how we can best distribute it. Oh… Don’t worry! I always keep my promises, so you’ll get everything I committed to. But I look at the fact that this will be my biggest game, with over 1600 rooms, and I start thinking… we may need MORE enemies to really fill them up. Of course I’m focused on the game scenario myself, and while I know we’ve gone over the three main characters, I'm beginning to think about adding three more to deepen the story. (Still only three playable, of course.) A grizzled, middle-aged hunter, perhaps? Or a pure unscathed youth? So many directions to go in as I continue to think and write, which is part of the fun of building an idea from scratch. But it's probably more fun for me than it is Inti Creates. (Sorry, Inti! I'll try to keep moving faster!) Make no mistake: We've already begun laying down the foundation of a great game. And I appreciate your patience as we push toward the kind of progress we can show off in backer updates. In the meantime, please keep your nice comments and great ideas coming in. It really means a lot to me and Inti Creates… To whom I must once again apologize… Sorry Inti! With that, I go back to my lair. There is much work to be done." Source? ? ?   |
