And only a character is referred as Lotus, and fights with a sword. This is my supreme hope. Also, if you look at the shape below the sword, it's shaped an awful lot like a cat's head...

The sceptic in me wants to say that we're seeing what we want to see, but given what we know about the cast, there's really no other NPC that could be represented as aptly by this crest (certainly not "evil" enough to be Black Susano'oh, imo) -- that, and no other remaining NPC is relevant enough to the story to be made playable as Jubei is.

Plus, we've been given one plausible character from each of the spin-offs already (Naoto from Bloodedge Experience, Mai from Remix Heart and Es from X-Blaze) so I doubt it's going to be some unknown from outside the main series that nobody asked for.

If they can do it for Hibiki, they can do it for Cat Person. >.<
