Ju On when?
Title.

I love all J-Horror, but with Rin and now Sadako, think that niche in DBD may not have much more room.

Yes, so much of this.

Why not? We have lots and lots of slashers. That niche seems to have plenty of room.

Who's Jo On?

It is basically The Grudge.

I'm wondering the same thing to be honest! Having Sadako in the game now gives me hope on Ju On. It's one of my favorite Japanese & American horror films. My only curiosity being: how could they do a Ju-On chapter differently enough to separate Kayako and Sadako?
I have a few thoughts. Kayako makes this noise she could make as soon as she becomes completely detectable. She could be a full on stealth horror killer with maybe an insanity mechanic similar to Doctor. Instead of walking around like Sadako does, she crawls (you know... Her infamous crawl...) Maybe being a stealth killer she could fill up an expose meter on the survivors. Or she could trap areas of the map so when survivors come into the area of the trap, their curse increases as having her house on every map would be impossible, this would be the next best thing - a trapping stealth killer. Bonus points if while she's chasing you, lights flicker, she's making THAT noise. Outdoor maps the chase would have your screen fading in and out with the noise as she chases.
Her mori? Let me just leave this here: https://youtu.be/t31U3QAkClM (from 0:00-1:16)
The real issue I'd see now is really how to make her stand out and apart from Sadako since they're so eerily similar but I feel it could be done.
So stoked to get my hands on Sadako though. I just might main her until they inevitably bring Kayako. Unless Kayako + Sadako mix or Kayako herself is the upcoming legendary then I'm going to be really disappointed.
EDIT: Maybe to go along with either being a full on stealth killer or trapping stealth killer she could have an insanity mechanic and in chase to add onto the previous chase thoughts, survivors could hallucinate her crawling on walls beside them as they run or hell, she could be the first killer to chase alongside walls (not the whole time though, maybe it'd be a temporary chase ability with a cool down) so it'd mess with the survivors' heads if she's chasing them from there or just projecting that she is (meanwhile while projecting this hallucination, she is invisible to the survivor).

*Creepy kayako sounds*

I vote for a perk that allow to die by the entity if they escape trought a gate if he doesnt do something specific

I would love to have Kayako in this game. her sound effects alone creep me out.

Kayako is also an Onryo, and is aesthetically very similar to Sadako. There are clearly differences, but to people are aren't ardent fans of J-Horror, the two would seem too similar to justify both, imo.
I'd personally love to see it, but I think there are also a number of other cultures/folklores that have no representation that deserve a shake as well.
As for the slashers, most of them are more distinct from each other than Sadako, Kayoko, and Rin.
Except Hillbilly/Bubba, maybe, but Bubba was an icon that they probably felt like they had to add.

I hear from quite a few people that the grudge and the ring are the same movie, so wouldn't we just be getting like a duplicate killer?
2 -
Those people have clearly never watched one of the two, that is for damned sure. And beyond that, I know this is going to sound sarcastic... But the developers are certainly capable of making the same sort of killer function differently.

Yeah, i guess, I think i ended up watching grudge, good movie, although I don't knit pick movies, i just watch, lol

Ju On would've been scarier than Sadako tbh.

Indeed specially if they add the creepy kayako sounds.

The sounds creeped me out when i saw it. Grudge was really scary.

I love Ju-On shes my favorite horror movie slasher however sadly I don't think she will ever be in DBD now. At most as a legendary skin for Sadako.

I think the person meant distribution of killers. Like, Demo's the only remotely lovecraftian killer, but we've got at least 5 "Mask + knife" slashers and 4 ghosts.
Also, I just realized my prediction about a future killer being water themed was right. well*, half right.
*laugh track

DBD desperately needs a crawling Killer, so I hope she gets added one day.

I agree, but that would create an interesting POV dilemma.
Adding Kayako would require some creative design, imo. One of the things compelling about Sadoko are the elements from the source material that offer opportunities for unique interactions (TVs, wells (which I had hoped to see incorporated somehow, like in a mori), etc.).
Kayako/Ju-on is undeniably creepy af, but she would come in lacking some of those iconic elements that could easily be co-opted into gameplay features.

Toshio could be part of the power. Haunt survivors with them then swap to Kayako.

I rather have Siren: Blood Curse.
1 -
Yeah, that could work; I had been thinking about how Toshio could be used.
I had a similar idea in my daydreams about having both Billy/Stu as ghostface, where only one could hurt the survs, but the other could appear as a misdirect, like in the films.

Also very solid.

Maybe next year.

Gonna be honest I'm pretty over Japanese ghost girls already.
There's a whole world of horror to choose from no need to have 5 Japan chapters.
