There's enough family drama in the series as it is. Who said anything about debating the age of a fictional character? I actually thought it was a GOOD thing Team Ninja made her 18 years old, never said she wasn't 18.

And as such, yeah, we've got enough family drama as it is, so adding in Honoka as being Raidou's daughter is going to be overkill. On the other hand, it would explain why her powers resemble Raidou's, and it would also explain why Honoka has red eyes like Ayane, not to mention a similar unusual hair color that is presumably natural (ie, non-dyed). And knowing what Raidou's like, I wouldn't even say "affair" as that implies it was consentual, it's more likely she's a byproduct of rape like Ayane (who if it is confirmed Raidou's her father, would make them half-sisters, and Kasumi her cousin/quarter-sister by extension).

Is it even confirmed beyond speculation that Raidou's her dad, though? I really don't think we should be claiming it's implied unless there's directly confirmed implications that he's her father (like there were hints that Rathalos was responsible for the disappearances of ships in Chico's briefing file on the creature in Peace Walker).
