Absolutely. Daji was definitely the Fair-faced Golden Fox, the millennium fox spirit.
[k]

＠Taigong Wang
She was a great specter who ignored the goddess Nüwa's orders to quickly bring about the end of the Shang dynasty and instead let her evil nature run wild, killing and torturing innocent people.
[k]

＠Taigong Wang
Daji was a ferocious and powerful being, a nine-tailed beast so beautiful she brought a nation to ruin.

First, we can now say that Koyanskaya is not a Divided Spirit of Daji, nor is she another aspect of her.
[k]

＠Taigong Wang
We can also rule out the idea that she may be a caricature of her in Heroic Spirit form.
[k]

[charaFace D 5]

＠Taigong Wang
There is no longer any doubt about any of that.
[k]

＠Taigong Wang
Yet what's equally certain is that Koyanskaya clearly has modeled herself to resemble the Fair-faced Golden Fox.

Given how strong her familiar clone was, that much is certain.

＠Taigong Wang
And yet, she still has yet to fully mature. Why is that?

I believe it's because she sees the Fair-faced Golden Fox, with all nine tails...

[k]

？1：So, Koyanskaya's tails are made up of things like Yagas and kali?

？2：You mean, you think she was collecting tails in the Lostbelts?

？！

[charaFace D 5]

＠Taigong Wang
That's right.
[k]

＠Taigong Wang
I believe that she is recording information from each of the Lostbelts' creatures into her tails during the process of turning them into her Lostkin.

＠Taigong Wang
I'm talking about the fact that even her clone's Spirit Origin has incredible mass, to say nothing of Koyanskaya herself.
[k]

＠Taigong Wang
As far as I can tell, she currently weighs several hundred thousand tons, which is about the same as any kaiju, as I believe you call them nowadays.
[k]

？1：That much!?
？2：A k-kaiju!?

？！

[charaFace D 4]

＠Taigong Wang
While her mass may not be as immediately obvious as the amount of magical energy she possesses...
[k]

[charaFace D 5]

＠Taigong Wang
...it is definitely there, and definitely, well, massive! It's the weight of her very existence!
[k]

＠Taigong Wang
So I think she may have gotten there by taking in information from six different Lostbelts through her Lostkin, transmuting that information into her tails, and using them to grow to her current state.
[k]

？1：Six Lostbelts?

We just saw for ourselves that Koyanskaya can generate basically infinite combat beasts and Lostkin and send them into battle whenever she likes, right?

So we'd just be setting ourselves up for failure if we headed to the center without a good plan.

But no matter how enormous or powerful a Beast she may be, she is still immature.
