？2：The time when Spirit Origins change left and right!

Exactly.
[k]
＠Da Vinci
It's a far cry from what a change in Spirit Origin meant originally, but that's still basically what's going on.
[k]
＠Da Vinci
The Chaldea-Style Summer Spirit Origin Transformation (patent pending) usually involves a drastic change in appearance with almost no change to the Servant's interior...
[k]
＠Da Vinci
...but it looks like she might be an exception to the rule. I wonder if that's because she was originally a Foreigner?

Then again, I guess it'd be weird if ya weren't pale, seein' how you're a ghost an' all.

[charaFace D 4]
＠Da Vinci
In which case...
[k]
＠Da Vinci
...there's currently no way to say if she chose to change her outfit of her own accord, or if someone else persuaded her to.
[k]
＠Da Vinci
It does look like the change in her Spirit Origin was kind of haphazard, but I can't figure out anything more than that at this point.
[k]
[charaFace D 0]
＠Da Vinci
Still, I can at least say for sure that we're still dealing with the Katsushika Hokusai we knew before, just with a different Spirit Origin. That is to say, there is the octopus form of the painter Katsushika Hokusai, as well as the human form of his daughter, Katsushika Oui.

As a painter and swordmaster, I'm gonna take on every bruiser I can find and uncover the essence of the sword!

I believe you're well aware of this “thing” by now, given how you've seen it for yourselves every summer as of late.

＠Holmes
A spontaneous change in Spirit Origin usually brought about by interference from other Servants or even by the Servant in question.

Indeed, Ms. Hokusai would appear to be an exception to the rule. Perhaps it has something to do with her original Spirit Origin belonging to an Extra class?
[k]

A fascinating phenomenon...but doubtless still one with a perfectly logical explanation.

I'm afraid it's currently impossible to say whether she chose to change her outfit of her own accord, or was persuaded into doing so by another.

At this point, given how she has even forgotten about these transmissions, all we can say is that the change to her Spirit Origin appears to be rather...slapdash.

I can at least assure you that despite the change to her memories, that is still the same Katsushika Hokusai we knew before, only with a different Spirit Origin.

I have observed enough to say that if nothing else, that is not an imposter taking her place.
