*See "Hasegawa" section above for the Mukade=Hasegawa theory. (geyser) | *See "Hasegawa" section above for the Mukade=Hasegawa theory. Alternately, Mukade might not be Hasegawa, or he might have absorbed Hasegawa. In any case, the Chrysalis gradually alienates him from humanity. (geyser) | ||
*Mukade | *Mukade is not Hasegawa, but he is ruling the Syndicate in Oni 2. (typhen) | ||
*Mukade could be the one who introduced the Daodan to Hasegawa. He may have also found his Devil Stars behind the "phase veil". (geyser) | |||
*Mukade is a more advanced symbiote than Barabas. He may be even more advanced than Mai. (TheTurnipKing, geyser) | *Mukade is a more advanced symbiote than Barabas. He may be even more advanced than Mai. (TheTurnipKing, geyser) | ||
*We don't actually know Mukade's gender. (TheTurnipKing) | *Mukade had not yet finished "changing" when he fought with Konoko and urged her to give in to her own Chrysalis, indicating that it might be possible to resist the change. Therefore he might still not be in Imago form in Oni 2. (geyser) | ||
*We don't actually know Mukade's gender. His/her voice could be altered. (TheTurnipKing) | |||
*Mukade was clearly killed by Konoko in Oni. He simply overestimated his abilities and thus failed to use his ninjas to provide backup. Since Konoko could "sense" him, she would have known if he were still alive. (Nyctasia) | *Mukade was clearly killed by Konoko in Oni.

*Mukade is likely to still be alive in Oni 2, more so than Barabas or Muro. His Chrysalis allowed him to survive his neck being broken, and the TCTF was not present at the time to apprehend him. Konoko did not sense his survival because he was in a coma or because he was more advanced in the use of his Chrysalis and "hid" from her mentally.

*Mukade | *Mukade should not be brought back in Oni 2 because Mai killing him in Oni 1 was an important plot point, and to underscore that they were "superpredators", and because having Mukade in Oni 2 would distract from Mai's story. If he is brought back, he should be a new character, not Hasegawa; but there are other ways to let him influence the story without bringing him back from the dead. (Seventeen Seconds) | ||
*Mukade | *Mukade is world ruler, through META. Mukade suspects the identity of Mai (she is still regaining her own memories) and begins investigating her. He has doubles everywhere (not actual clones, although he may be able to form temporary, insubstantial clones in combat), which Mai will encounter before meeting the real one, and which may leave riddles for her. See "Hasegawa" and "META" sections for more on Mukade-Hasegawa's Plan. (geyser) | ||
*The Rooftops theory is that the situation starting with the data theft at Regional State and ending with the fight between Mukade and Mai was orchestrated carefully by Mukade, at least until the very end. Mukade, who in this theory is Hasegawa, or a clone/SLD with his engrams, wants to observe Mai's development as a Daodan host. | *Mukade may also have founded Phoenix, and an environmental group, just to be able to play different sides against each other and give him a rebellion to use as an excuse for gaining power. (Last_Hero) | ||
*Mukade's connection to Mai was simply due to their Chrysalises. His failure to escape Mai is due to his instinctual need to fight her for dominance. (Gatkowski, TNT) | *The Rooftops theory is that the situation starting with the data theft at Regional State and ending with the fight between Mukade and Mai was orchestrated carefully by Mukade, at least until the very end. Mukade, who in this theory is Hasegawa, or a clone/SLD with his engrams, wants to observe Mai's development as a Daodan host. First letting Mai see him steal the data, so she won't doubt its origins, he draws her across the rooftops until they are out of sight of the TCTF and his own ninjas, and then confronts her (he may also be manipulating her mentally). He hopes that she will be ready to learn the truth, but when he sees her conflicted state, he decides she's too unstable to absorb what he wants to tell her. Plan B is to fight her, then "lose" and drop the disc, which has handpicked information of his own (not what was taken from Regional State) which tells her just a little of what she needs to know and which will lead her to Kerr. However, Mai goes further than he expected when she breaks his neck, causing his plans to derail while he recuperates and Mai blows the world's ACCs. (geyser) | ||
*Mukade may or may not be Mai's dad. He can have multiple roles or an ambiguous role in Oni 2. (guido) | *Mukade's connection to Mai was simply due to their Chrysalises. His failure to escape Mai is due to his instinctual need to fight her for dominance. (Gatkowski, TNT by way of [http://carnage.bungie.org/oniforum/oni.forum.pl?read=15104 Hardy]) | ||
*Mai's Chrysalis might resonate positively with Mukade's. Mukade may or may not be Mai's dad. He can have multiple roles or an ambiguous role in Oni 2. He could be a guide for Mai in learning about her Chrysalis. (guido) | |||
*Being with Mukade would be an unpleasant experience for Mai due to bad memories awakened, and she would be unable to trust him. There can be no peaceful coexistence between Daodan hosts. He may serve as a sort of remote tutor for Mai, but perhaps he learns <u>from</u> her, as well. (geyser) | |||
*Mai might change her opinion of Mukade when she learns more about him (including their possible blood link), although this might only happen after he dies. Possibly, Mukade may forgive Mai for injuring him in Oni 1, to her surprise. This could either lead to Mukade betraying her after earning her trust, or else to making him into a tragic figure who Mai is unable to save because of her lingering distrust of him. (Your_Mom) | |||
*The ninjas might be experimental SLDs devised by Mukade-Hasegawa; they seem similar to Mukade, and yet more robotic. Mukade might be operating independently from Muro. The ninjas comprise his intelligence network, and he may see through their eyes using his Daodan powers and even control them. That might be what the spikes on their suits are for (psychic antennas). They may also be the subjects of minor Daodan tweaking themselves. (geyser) | |||
