If you think about it, knowing that the NPC is Kuro, because of its antennae, I think this will be an item, and it makes sense because of the resemblance to the second image.
Remember that Megumi does not have her sword in her moveset kit, just like other weapons/items.
Details about Ryu, Kuro, and Yuta have leaked recently, but nothing about Hanami. I hope she gets her Awk, or at least her Domain Expansion and a skill.
If after a month I didn't have Awk and more than one skill, but I did have Kuro, Yuta, and Ryu, it would be unfair to me and Hanami's 3 mains.
Imagine that if you get banned too often from custom servers and Creator Clash, you can't play Creator Clash or Custom Servers for 1 month
