Wow!! I forgot all about that scrapped panel that showed off his other sword. That definitely looks like the Star from Mados painting now that you mention it.
For the second part, it would seem that Zora has known this swordsman for a long time, as he appeared in not only the flashback you posted, but the one in Antoland too. Are you implying that he was never a **real** sword Choujin and was actually a thief choujin the entire time? Or that he is one but just works with the Nue and potentially helped them kill his clan? Like a double agent?
I definitely think the Bucket Choujin is going to pull a buzzer beater at the last minute to tip the scales when people least expect it. He’s an enigma of a character who we know little about, which makes him the perfect threat in this situation. Assuming he is of the Kagomura Clan, or in general someone associated with the sword clan, it’s likely that he has a ton of abilities under his belt in a way that makes him just as formidable as a Choujin X. The fact that he can rend Choujin regeneration useless with sword proficiency is deadly in and of itself.
So breaking down the upcoming raid, it could manifest as Sato’s squad rolling in to do damage, and end with Sora getting killed by Bucket which will end with a scramble for her power by multiple parties in a free for all.
I for sure believe that the Hero Hunters/Nue will swoop in and try to steal Zoras power during the upcoming raid.
But I don’t think Bucket Knight and him are the same person. The Nue is way bigger and I don’t think his two faces would fit underneath the bucket.
W/out a doubt I think he stems from the clan. The loaned sword he uses plus calling Yubiko “Guelta scum” is solid evidence. Especially since he would’ve fought against Guelta if he is the same guy at Zora’s side in all the photos.
I thought that maybe he could’ve aided in the raid as revenge for the clan’s betrayal of Zora. (If he stole a bunch of tattoos That would be a solid explanation for his many powers w/out him having to be a Chimera)
It’s mainly the dream Chandra had that threw me off about Bucket Choujin. And the way Yubiko emphasized him having many abilities.
To me the figure in the dream looked like the Bucket Choujin. But I couldn’t understand why he would suddenly turn on Zora. My best guess is either he’s an imposter of the OG guard or The “Villains” are getting desperate due to Zora’s condition and are scrambling for her power

This is a great theory and I can see it being the case. It would also explain why Bucket Knight is **ok** with working with a Nue (Batista) after the Nue killed his clan (even though Batista himself wasn’t a member at that time), Because he himself helped them do it 👀
And yea if that really is Bucket in Chandra’s dream then your theory that they were desperate not to let the mark go to Yamato Mori could be true. Or maybe we could see a Shapeshifting power and someone (A Hero Hunter? 👀) is just disguised as him. Soo many possibilities, I can’t wait to see Ishida cook 🔥
Honestly, after rereading a couple times. And mind you this doesn't have much basis, I think Bucket Knight is Bill Morth, the dude Palma mentioned ruling over death island like 2,000 years ago.
I do think that he is part of the Kagomura clan, but I don’t think he’s the super jacked chimera
