I'm not into Honkai. Are they really the same? Darkbolt Jonin seems to be a costume worn by Yae Kasumi and Yae Sakura, but I don't understand why yae kasumi implicates it. topic #23026 had no discussion while topic #17375 mentioned clones being different than the costumes and it seems to be the source of some of these tags.
Darkbolt Jonin and Yae Kasumi are one and the same. While she is used in-game as a Sakura battlesuit, she is and always has been Yae Kasumi, never Yae Sakura.
Kasumi is a clone (and reincarnation) of Sakura from a bubble world where Sakura died. She's in the same position for Yae Sakura that Kongming and Luna do for Theresa or that Haxxor Bunny does for Bronya (that is, alternate universe versions).
Honkai tags and outfits are weird in that some are just costumes, but a few are legit different versions of the characters (such as the ones mentioned above).
For example, yae_sakura_(goushinnso_memento) is in fact not Yae Sakura at all, but actually Flamechaser / Previous Era Sakura. Yae Sakura is a miko, PE Sakura isn't. They are different characters. You may or may not be able to argue that Yae Sakura is PE Sakura's reincarnation, but that's a separate thing.
Also looking at that list, why is Chrono Navi an implication for Ai-chan? They are completely unrelated and have nothing to do with each other.
Ai Hyperion Lambda / Chrono Navi is some weird Time Cristal entity that showed up out of nowhere in the lasts chapters of HI3 Part 1 and merely looks kinda like Ai-chan.
Ai-chan is a Previous Era AI that serves as the Hyperion's AI sistem after A1 (a gynoid that Theresa defeated) got plugged into it.
