New secret trial is Nezha ?

[Moogly]

According to wikipedia :

According to Meir Shahar, Nezha is ultimately based on two figures from Hindu mythology. The first is a yaksha from the Ramayana named Nalakubar, the son of Yaksha King Kubera and nephew of the antagonist Ravana.

So Nezha is Ravana's nephew.
And like Lakshmi, it's also inspired from Hindu mythology, so...?

And yes, I am speculating all this due to the massive (and expensive) amount of Nezha related cash shop items that were just added.

Huh? Ravana is a figure from Hindu mythology and Nezha is a pure 100% Chinese entity, what are you talking about.

I went there first because I had no idea who Nezha was to begin with...

Well, he has nothing to do Hindu, because his origin trace back to be son of a respectable Chinese general.
He is one of entity who origin as human but worship as a God.

I dunno. These items were region exclusive in another country. It'd be kind of odd for them to have a trial for a being that had items that were released around a year prior. Then again I don't know what SE could be thinking to surprise us with.

Oh if that's what it was, then it won't be Nezha for sure I guess.
I just found it odd that they suddenly sell Nezha goods when there never was, in my memory, any kind of lore or event related to that.

...and now that I think about it, I don't see any stormblood tribe for who Nezha could be a fitting deity...

The new trial doesn't necessarily need to be a new diety though. Especially if the reasons for not introducing the boss are spoilers, it may be a different entity, like one of the characters met in the main story scenario, example being the guy with two shields back in ARR storyline. That may include "protagonist", since it very well may be a sparring match, like fighting against Raubahn (look forward to Raubahn Extreme, Reborn Version) or Lyse for the Warrior of Light to get stronger. It may also be somehow related to Omega bringing stuff from other games...but that's incredibly unlikely.
