I want to share more parallels regarding Kazuha and Scara, and it is about Isshin一心 and Matsukaze松風.
Their parallels in symbols are really stunning. Really delicate and well-written.
What happens to scara if he encounters Kazuha who has so much resemblance to Katsuragi (and also his personality) and a boy once he tried to protect but died in the end 🫠🫠
Here comes an interesting point. Kazuha by himself is "Isshin".
In Isshin Art, they had three clans: Kaedehara, Niwa, and Akame. Kaede楓 means "maple", Niwa丹羽 means "red feather", and Akame赤目 means "red eyes".
Kazuha is Isshin: his maple symbol, red streak, and red eyes.
It's really funny and interesting how the symbolisms of kzh and scara are closely related. Not just maple leaf and bird symbolism but also story parallels. They are exact mirror images of each other, just like kaworu and shinji in eva. Kzh is the idealized figure of Scara.
the name Kazuha is feminine in jp (一葉, in gnsn as 万葉), and also the name Kaworu is a girl name too (薫 in general but カヲル in eva)
So an ideal of Scara is Kazuha... he also speaks like him when he got a temporal factory reset. Scara was released in the 3.3 version and,
And the symbolic meaning of Nami ni Chidori, you can refer to the following image. Note that Manyoushu is the collection of Japanese Waka, and also the origin of the name Kazuha. (Manyou万葉 = Kazuha万葉)
Bonds of marriage and family well-being 😳
it was really intentional that kzh’s story quest was a prerequisite for the 3.3 interlude story… also isshin blade (=scara) was reforged in amenoma’s furnace and its background looks the same in scara's story pv where a heart in the ashes was found... isshin=heart metaphor again
It is not surprising that Kazuha has a Buddha mind symbol thinking back on how he handles his misfortunes in his life. He directly follows the Buddhist doctrine, “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
Also when we see the name Isshin一心, shin心 means "mind", but also "heart". We don't have to explain that Scara has a deep relation to the heart symbol. Yes, by its symbol Kazuha is the only一 heart心 left for him.
The book called Awakening Mahayana Faith (the book of Mahayana Buddhism) includes metaphors such as sea waves and mirror-image, and the "state of unenlightened to Isshin" is likened to "waves".
We can see the image of waves on Wanderer's name card.
But how this relates to Isshin?
As mentioned above, Isshin in the book Awakening Mahayana Faith is likened to "waves". This bird print also looks the same as "Nami ni Chidori波に千鳥", a traditional pattern in JP culture. Literally, it means "plovers (over) the waves".
In Buddhism, Isshin means "‘one mind’ in JP, and the universal mind which, pervades all appearance—i.e. the Buddha-mind."
Isshin一心 is the name of the clan of Kazuha.
The symbol of a bird in this name card is a cross between a maple leaf and a bird (it is also in Wanderer's new costume).
In the 3.3 PV trailer, we can see falling maple leaves that look like birds.
So now we can get why there is a print of Nami ni Chidori on Wanderer's clothing. Plovers (maple=Kazuha + Scara=Bird) overcome hardships together in ever-changing waves (=unenlightened state of Isshin).

(continued)
"Matsukaze松風" is another good parallel that relates Kazuha and Scara since it connects them to the symbol of blade⚔️ and tea🍵.
The word Matsukaze means "wind in the pines". It is written in Kazuha's passive skill and Scara's C6 constellation.
Even in The Red Kite’s Waking and Sleeping, the description says "[i]ts deep red, almost chocolate leaves each seem to resemble the silhouettes of birds."
Now there's no doubt that the print on Wanderer's cloth is a collaboration of maple and bird.
To be short,
1)The bird symbol of Scara relates to Kauzha, the maple symbol.
2) Namini Chidori illustrates Isshin=waves metaphor. Scara is in a state of unenlightenment to Isshin. Isshin, from the name of the three clans, symbolizes Kazuha.
3) Isshin, the One Mind and Only Heart
And the symbolic meaning of Nami ni Chidori, you can refer to the following image. Note that Manyoushu is the collection of Japanese Waka, and also the origin of the name Kazuha. (Manyou万葉 = Kazuha万葉)
Bonds of marriage and family well-being 😳
scara draws parallels with a lot of other characters (just like ei or nahida) but I think how scara draws parallels w/ kazuha it's far more delicate and really well written
Also on the name card, we can see wheels (which also looks like lotus) on it. Usually, lotus and wheels often refer to the Six Paths in Buddhism -- "the six worlds where sentient beings are reincarnated according to their karmas linked to their acts of previous lives. "
In his costume description, he is likened to Shugendō (mountain ascetic in Eng), a practitioner conducting religious training. We can see why his new name is "Wanderer".
Still unenlightened, continuing the Six Path, his mind still wanders.
Scara was reborn from ashes and became Wanderer. Those who attained enlightenment (i.e. becoming Buddha) can be freed from the cycle of birth and death, the cycle of suffering.
In the book Awakening Mahayana Faith, it says the soul unenlightened to Isshin continues the Six Path.
「신자는 신의 영광을 이룩하고, 불신자는 신의 교화를 지켜보지. 그러나 나는 그를 어느 한쪽으로 정의하지 않을 거야. 모든 불확실성은 그의 미래를 닦는 초석이나 다름없으니까.」

(+) About the event in the 3.3 version
remind that Scara's hat is used like an umbrella while he wanders☂️
Tsukumogami means a tool that acquired a kami (holy power) or spirit (so also refers to Scara)
The name of the 4-star event weapon is Toukabou Shigure and Toukabou is the nickname of the poet (haiku) in the Edo period. The poem that he wrote when he was eleven was about maple leaves so I kinda expected this will be another kzscr story and yeah 😊
Scara was first constructed as a vessel for gnosis and ei once tried to modify gnosis for energy supply device but later gave up to store it in the puppet… so that scene might implies scara with ei’s gnosis supplying energy to that robot thingy with plugs on his back :)
To summarize,
1) Kazuha and Scara share the word Matsukaze松風 in their skill names.
2) Matukaze is related to Manyoushu, Noh/Kabuki play which symbolizes Kazuha and Scara, respectively.
3) Matsukaze is related to Tea, which in turn relates to the blades and Zen Buddhism.

Kazuha's passive skill is "Cloud Strider/霞立つ松風", and Scara C6 is "Shugen: The Curtains’ Melancholic Sway/言祝·霞幕傾松風".
They share the word "Kasumi霞" and "Matsukaze松風".
1/ For Kasumi霞 (meaning haze in JP), we can find haze patterns in Kazuha and Scara's old costume
대략 정신이 멍해져서 뭐라고 설?득해야할지
병정 이야기 저기서 녹아내리는 건 스카라무슈 자신입니다 그렇게 녹아내릴 정도로 인간의 감정= 즉 아픔을 겪었는데도 (아이의 죽음) 막상 인간의 마음은 얻지 못했죠... 나도 그날 불속에서 타버렸으면 = 아이와 함께 죽으려 했던 동반자살의 비유이고요
2/"Matsukaze松風" is one of the names of the Noh能 plays. Noh能 is a traditional JP dance-drama.
You can read the synopsis of the Noh Matsukaze松風 from the link below.
The titles of Scara's constellation are all related to Noh能 plays.
이번에 더 명확해졌는데 세 번째 배신은 “자기 자신에 대한 배신감” 즉 “자기 혐오”인 듯함… 아이를 구하지 못했던< 자기 자신을 용서하지 못했던 거지 동시에 아이가 자신과 동족이었으니 자신도 그런 상황에서 “스스로를 구하지 못했다”는 뜻인 거고… 일종의 고급스러운 자기혐오
The name of the 4-star event weapon is Toukabou Shigure and Toukabou is the nickname of the poet (haiku) in the Edo period. The poem that he wrote when he was eleven was about maple leaves so I kinda expected this will be another kzscr story and yeah 😊
So... the word Matsukaze松風 is connected to Manyoushu, Noh, and even Kabuki plays.
One more interesting point is that the word Matsukaze松風 also means "(sound of) steam whistling in a kettle (at a tea ceremony)".
And they both love tea🍵.
