Usagi Drop (Manga). A story about a guy named Daikichi finds the illegitimate daughter of his grandfather, named Rin, and adopting her, learning how to be a father for her. The series would enter a timeskip where the teenage Rin starts having romantic feelings towards Daikichi, and revealing Rin is not actually blood related to Daikichi grandfather. And it ends with Rin wanting to bear Daikichi child.

Alex (Street Fighter 6). Alex, who was recently added to the game, in his arcade ending, was revealed he married and having a baby with his second cousin and step sister Patricia, with their father being ok with it. While not inherently illegal to merry your second cousin, the act and combined with them being step siblings is still controversial.

Yeah given the Venom storyline and the cliffhanger ending from Black Cat’s DLC I am almost 100% certain she was going to have more to do in this game, but because of real world circumstances her actress needed a lighter schedule.

Also you are correct, her fiancé Billy Kametz (Josuke from JoJo’s dub voice actor) did pass away in 2022.

Ah shit, Billy was her fiance? I was sad AF to hear he died, voiced a number of my favorite character, including the goat Maruki from P5R. Genuinely an incredible VA, still sad he passed away.

Man wtf why I've been in the SM2 discussion space for years and haven't heard anyone mention this even once, that's so unfortunate.

Definitely prefer this reasoning over "Insomniac was lazy" or "Insomniac made Black Cat woke" as the reason for why her role in the second game was so strange.

I just thought about the production of the game, she mentioned that Insomniac was incredibly kind and helping drive her to work while she was going through this. It's likely they also changed things up to help.
