I'm really quite torn on who I think Samurai X is. PIXAL seems like the obvious choice, but... does obvious mean right? What if this is all a red herring meant to throw us off?

My top theory right now is that it could be Skylor and PIXAL working together. After all, why even bring up the possibility that it might be Skylor just to prove it wrong? (of course, they could be hinting at some other big development for Skylor that's yet to be revealed... but it would be bad writing to make such a big deal of things and then do nothing with it.  And several of Skylor's comments clearly indicated that she wants to get back into the fight...)  And it would fit... PIXAL would have the technological skills for certain (Skylor has never been shown to have any great capacity of technical ability), but as of now, she has no physical form. If the short about Samurai X is accurate, then the new Samurai X definitely has a physical form. So if Samurai X is PIXAL, that's something they have yet to explain. However, if Skylor was involved, then she could definitely be the one responsible for piloting the suit. PIXAL also was never as much of a fighter in direct combat-- but Skylor definitely was (PIXAL is more of a tactitian, and, let's face it, having a tactition to guide you could help pretty much anyone). And Nya directly commented on the fact that the different fighting styles would make Skylor a likely candidate. She also pointed out that Skylor is/was able to change her voice at will (depending on if she still has her powers or not at this point), which is more strong evidence. Samurai X's blue color would fit more with PIXAL (although design-wise it's worth noting that the new color is almost polar on the color wheel to Skylor's current suit color.  If it does turn out to be her, such a shift could indicate a desire to step away from her past life and form a new one for herself.  But I digress-), and again, there's the technological element to be reckoned with.

The fact is, there's a lot of evidence that points to both of them. And, given that PIXAL is currently in an AI form as far as we know, there's no reason that it couldn't be both. They'd certainly both have reason to take on the persona, that's for sure...
