Information from the new post!

Vino is a 4-star Nuclear Surrender character, as previously announced. Her name is written as 长尾千津子 in Chinese, which would be 長尾千津子 in Japanese, and thus may be read as "Chizuko Nagao", though her name should be confirmed in her side story. It looks like she'll be part of the same banner as Queen, and thus will be added to the game in Version 1.3.3.

The shadow that resembles Kaneshiro's Piggytron looks to be named 瞋恚, which is most likely Pratigha of the Kleshas/Poisons, and thus would be "anger".

The description for Vino's side story:

In Shinjuku, there are occasionally drunkards who get into trouble, but there is also a drunken woman who helps each other when encountering injustice. The story opened this time is Chizuko Nagao's personal exclusive story "The Note that Conveys the Heart - Part 1". Subsequent stories will be updated in future versions.

Notably, it seems her side story will only be added in parts, rather than all at once like Minami's and Haruna's were in the past.

Kiyoshi Kurotani's Confidant will also be added in this update, as well as a new part of the soccer team's side quest, and two new songs ("Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There", and "Break It Down") for the music club minigame.

Yatsufusa is being added to the game as part of the Door to Ominous Dreams' boss rotation! No mention of it being available as a Persona yet, but it is now in the game.

On the topic of the Colabs foreshadowing the main plot, what if the Klesha used for the “current” shadow is a variant of the sin used for the next shadow in P5X’s story?

Example: Dvesha & Pragtigha are both versions of “Anger” which is comparable to the sin of Wrath, Katayama (& Akashi?)’s sin.

Oh, that is an interesting theory! It doesn't quite work as smoothly for the Castle Chapter- Raga (Attachment) makes more sense for Kiuchi than Miyazawa, I think- but it's also the only chapter where both groups were on the same number Palace, so it could be considered an outlier. Maybe since they were taking place at the "same time", rather than the original group being "ahead" of Wonder's group, it wasn't "able" to foreshadow, hehe?

If that's the case, that would suggest that the fourth Palace ruler(s) of the main plot here would be related to Moha, which is Ignorance.

Although there is suffering in life, a Buddhist should not be gloomy over it, should not be angry or impatient at it. One of the principal evils in life, according to Buddhism, is 'repugnance' or hatred. Repugnance (pratigha) is explained as 'ill-will with regard to living beings, with regard to suffering and with regard to things pertaining to suffering. Its function is to produce a basis for unhappy states and bad conduct.' Thus it is wrong to be impatient at suffering. Being impatient or angry at suffering does not remove it. On the contrary, it adds a little more to one's troubles, and aggravates and exacerbates a situation already disagreeable. What is necessary is not anger or impatience, but the understanding of the question of suffering, how it comes about, and how to get rid of it, and then to work accordingly with patience, intelligence, determination and energy.

Walpola Rahula, What the Buddha Taught 

The word 'wrong' is used much to strongly, it is a natural reaction to be impatient with suffering. This natural impulse though just adds fuel to the fire of suffering.
