There may be more faceclaims in Gaiden than you expect!

All prominent members of the Watase Family shown so far co-star with Motomiya and Yamaguchi in the Nihon Touitsu (Unification of Japan) franchise as members of Yamazaki Ichimon.

Nihon Touitsu is produced and written by Motomiya and was hugely influential in the making of Gaiden according to Yokoyama (notably, Shishido and Tsuruno were written as role- and personality-swaps of Motomiya and Yamaguchi's Nihon Touitsu characters), so check it out if you can!
