Unless he comes along with an extended storyline, Kagura is definitely not DLC. If you look in the magazine he was spoiled in it shows you in the background with Makoto in a new, less scandalous outfit, in which we have in-game art of Kagura in a conversation with Noel and Makoto. This would mean that he is either in the Sector-Seven story, Chrono-Phantasma story, or both.

And because he seeks to take down the NOL, his role in the story is already established and I highly doubt he'll just appear at the end and show his plans like Hazama if they're already spoiling him now with character art and one small picture of him using an attack.

The reason why I don't believe that it will possible for him to be DLC is due to his involvement within the storyline already, it would be kind of weird to just make him DLC and have him in the story already.

Also, you can't use characters like Platinum to prove me wrong as Platinum's involvement in the story before her DLC release was very minimal and even in the storyline she did not effect the characters that much. Also her goals in the end did not effect the plot that much, it really just added on to Continuum Shift a little bit whereas Kagura has a goal given to us way before his release.

Also, something that kind of sways me in this direction is that the other playable character on console is Yuki Terumi who is only for people who pre-order Chrono Phantasma at the beginning and then later become downloadable. This doesn't prove my point and I'm not sure this is true actually. But if it is, then I highly doubt Kagura will be DLC. Unless they forgot to mention or have not decided whether to do so or not.

Considering what we've been shown, it would be a dick move on Arksys' part.

Also, I really want Kokonoe to be downloadable too. Or unlockable. I want to play her so badly...
