Codename

The Codename for PCH-20xx/Slim is "Ushiwaka".
It's provenance is currently discussed in, and I don't think there will be an official confirmation.
This section contains all theories from the Henkaku discord.

Theory Explanation Source
Krowki Literally meaning "little cows" in Polish, and Ushiwaka can be translated into 牛(cow) and 若(young, little) in Japanese.
There's also a theory that all mb codenames (iris, dolce, ushiwaka) are from candies.
[1]
Haikyuu There is a character named "Ushijma Wakatoshi" in Haikyuu, shortened to "Ushiwaka".
However the motif of the character comes from "Ushiwakamaru" which is described below.
Doubtful.
[2]
Ushiwakamaru (牛若丸) The Japanese samurai commander Minamoto no Yoshitsune's name in his childhood.
-maru was traditional habit to name children at that time.
[3]

Either way, this codename doesn't really fit with other codenames (iris, dolce).
