it seems that v-13 azure is missing cause kokonoe was gathering data (1:00) on azure which she should already have i guess prolly rachel has it in her position to save it when the time is right for ragna to use it
new charcter (Ragna the Black Beast) jk
but i wish ragna had better special its kinda plain for a main charcter look at jin special lol kinda better then ragna's i hope on blazblue 3 he have better asteral heat or a extra destoration finsher at least casue jin have 4 all together
2:22 ( you will not win there is a reason the azure will fail you if you try.)
i bet it is beacause ragna only have half of his part of the azure and V-13 has the other and when they fuse in the Cauldron the black beast is born (ragna the body / v-13 the heart) but since v-13 is dead and her soul is put into Λ-11 what will happen if ragna got his hands on both Azures since it was a failed experiment but i think hazama dont know what if both azure became one with only ragna though
@SKClouD If you seen all the storylines and endings,plus alternate one in BlazBlue, you'll know that Ragna's brother was really being controlled by Hazama back then. Ragna knows that now so he no longer has any hatred for Jin. However, Jin is now hunting Ragna and Noel down out of jealousy because Ragna and Noel are living together in a normal life.
@orrthehunter Dude, I know all of this. I'm just saying that it's not very clever to call the mother of your brother (durp your own mother durp) a bitch. Get it?
The True Story path will be in the full, release on July 20 for NA version. We'll learn the truth once the game is released in the True Story path just like in the first one.
@shkwekj ya. it's even hinted that time must be repeating again in Arcade mode at some points. We'll learn more once the Game is released and see the Full storyline of the game. Which is kind of like the first one, you know the time repeating part, but with more answers to the storyline.
@shkwekj Also, since time is repeating itself again. All endings are Canon endings again but what order they follow is unknown and it all leads up to the True Ending Path like the first game.
@orrthehunter "Living together in a normal life"? Where the hell you get this so called "canon"? Don't mix fact with what you may want to see in fan fiction. As for Hazama controlling Jin, perhaps you'd like to elaborate by what you mean by control. If you're talking about "mind control", that is yet to be established. If you want to talk about Jin being used terumi, then you'd be correct in that idea. Your post is filled with assumptions that you cannot make.
@Str8Murder Blazblue CS takes long after the first game ending so it's been sometime and it's explained in the character's background information for this game.. Jin's arcade path for this game show that Hazama was the cause for his madness in his path ending and it was even shown in the first game a lot. The game's storyline in the first game was all canon since Rachel reveals that time was repeating tell the True Ending Path happened.
So Hazama did all that because he hated the way his world works, pretty epic. So you have to ask, he had good intentions wanting to live in a perfect world, but, did bad things to go about it. Was he really a complete "bad guy" ?
Its one of the most touching scenes in Blazblue where she shows Ragna a bit of genuine affection, when you get to see her as not just some snobby overseer but as a woman desperately trying to set things right. She tells him never to give up and for once isn't taunting him but doing all she can to encourage him. Going back I can even see you've SEEN these scenes. So why this sudden feeling that shes the "bad guy"? I would think it would be rather apparent what she's fighting for.
I also think I'd use whatever manipulation I could if I believed it would change way things would happen. And honestly, she is FORCED to be manipulative. Why? Because the predictability of everyone else is what Terumi is using against them. I also think I could appear cold. Seeing people die over and over teaches you to be distant. But Rachel is not without a heart. Play through her freakin story in CT. She nearly cries in frustration in front of Ragna in one time line.
How would you feel watching people going through time-line after time-line, living and watching everyone die over and over, and being the only one to live to watch it all inevitably start all over again? How would you feel trying to interfere when you could only to watch the same shit happen again? You know the future. You've seen it all before. You know what will happen but it seems people do not listen. Personally, I think I'd be a little bit bitchy and impatient too.
Okay... allow me to be the one to say this to you Seraphim. You're retarded. I'd suggest doing some checking on the other videos and actually playing the original Blazblue before opening your mouth. Rachel is anything BUT the "big bad" as you put it. What? You think because she knows a lot, hides that information, and gets impatient that she's bad? Learn how to read people and actually put yourself in her position.
Please don't call me retarded, Str8Murder. All I did was state how I personally read into things. I *know* Rachel has been trying to stop the time loop and that she cares about Ragna, but she always seems to have her own agenda that she doesn't let anyone else in on, and I just thought that it was pretty suspicious. That's all.
Now, if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. So what? I can take making a mistake, but don't call me "retarded" just because my interpretation of events turns out to be wrong.
wow, it looks like in terms of storytelling blazblue seemed to step up a notch! This might be a cliffhanger to the console version, can't wait to kick ass with ragna and see what happens!
@demitrinarrow What Ragna *really* needs is for Rachel to stop being such a selfish cow and actually *help* him. I mean, seriously, she knew all about the time loop and could have at least told him something, but no.
To be honest, I have a feeling that Rachel is the *real* big bad. It looks to me like she's just manipulating everyone for her own personal gain.
You're implying Ragna would actually believe Rachel, their relationship isn't exactly one built on trust nor respect for the other. And then there's the fact Ragna needs to stop running into a situation that involves Terumi without thinking.
Ragna is my favorite character, but the fact is you can't blame his lack of success on Rachel when it's mostly his fault to begin with.
Don't get me wrong, Ragna has nobody but himself to blame for a lot of the crap he gets into. I'm just saying that Rachel seems extremely manipulative with the way she never tells him anything.
It had to be Noel. Hazama said "this unit is different. It has the True Azure infused with it." Saya isn't a unit, she's the original. Noel however, is a unit, and is the true wielder of the Azure Grimoire, hence her drive attacks being black instead of green as they were before.
Code S.O.L- would be cool if it was a future GG cross reference, but im assuming it has to do with amaterasu since amaterasu is the sun gon and Sol is latin for Sun. Still would be cool if it was Sol Baduy xD, which would mix since he has fire power
Who knows? Maybe she just doesn't want someone else than her to kill her beloved ragna :P Even though it is another version of her...
Serious opinion: It might be something about that she is no longer affected by the cauldron or being in a murakumo body... The mind may have stabilized cuz... it's all that's left or her... maybe...
Thanks for posting...hopefully the console version will have that possessed Noel as a final boss so it won't leave it as a cliffhanger for the next game...Ragna's got his work cut out for him if he's gonna snap her out of it...
5 dollars says Noel gets it. Allusions to Japanese mythology after all. Jin has the Susano'o, Rachel has the Tsukuyomi, and of course....Susano'o acted like a big jerk to Amaterasu. Guess who acted like a big jerk to Noel?
I'm guessing that girl, who is either Noel or Saya is the boss of the true ending.
Though I gotta say, it amazes me how everybody seems to know more about what the hell is going on than Ragna himself, yet they all go out of their way to piss him off. Seriously, it's as if the only way he can get any information is by beating the s*** out of the people he he meets.
not only am i happy but im really really confused, so this black hat guy made jin go nuts and noel forget? then he turned her in v-15 but with the true azure grimwoire also y is there more than one azure and its code name is blazblue? and code S.O.L does that mean we'll be seeing sol badguy return for some extra help? this vid answered many question but made alot of new ones
thank u but im confused about the amaterasu and well jin stay like that forever and was he one of the six legndary heroes like mr.catman and hakumen? wait saya is noel right? i gatt ask cause they didnt say but it would make sense.
Hmmm. I was hoping someone would answer for me but I guess your still waiting.
At the beginning of Jin's story mode he is dictated as a false hero. I'm assuming he wasn't exactly a hero until he killed the Black Beast. He did so as Hakumen.
At the end of his story mode, Rachel rescued him and gave him a purpose. To kill the black beast that was supposedly created when Ragna and V-13 fell into the cauldron together. However, Noel broke the chain.
In the end of Noel's story mode I believe, Noel looks at Jin back at the academy and spots images of a White Soldier. That would be Hakumen.
For more literal proof, in Hazama's Arcade mode when he meets Hakumen, he address him by his old name. Jin Kisaragi.
Basically, from what I remember, this is how the story went. Hazama possessed Jin and cut Ragna's arm off. Hazama then placed a fragment of the Grimoire in place for his arm. Ragna then proceeded to destroy the bases which led the event.
Ragna fell into the cauldron with V-13 whom possessed another fragment of the Grimoire. When they both fell, they merged together and created the Black Beast. At that point, Jin was rescued and given a purpose by Rachel. That is where he became Hakumen. You should already know about the whole 6 heroes vs. Black beast stuff.
ok but im still confused, i thought when rachel was telling the story at the beginnning of the game it was b4 ragna got the new arm and stuff, but im guessing the story is the ned of blazblue 1, but i dont get how ragna beats the crap out of jin then jin becomes hakumen it still puzzles me, this makes me wanna play the story mode, but the story mode is so fucking boring.
Rachel told the story about how Noel breaks the chain. From what I remember, the chain was the fact of the same event occurring over and over. That I mean Jin becoming Hakumen to slay the Black Beast. I'm still confuse on how thats even possible. Ragna could beat Jin easily because he is solely dependent on his Armagus. Hakumen however, has the susanoo and has the anti-grimoire-blackbeast effect. I mean, Ragna couldn't easily recover after his fight with Hakumen.
,ok thank u now im good that all i needed 2 know, oh wait does that mean that tao, carl tager, booby lady and arikune have no main part of this whole situation? dbesides bangs revenge against jin?
They had incredibly minor roles in the story. Tao was a vigilante hunting for "Rawrgna" and actually befriended him. Arakune hunted Ragna because he wanted the Grimoire. Litchi is trying to protect and save Arakune. Bang just tried to get revenge and failed.
Carl, however, looks like he will play a much bigger role in the story.
Who knows, Bang can become more connected to the main story if they put his young master in the middle of it, while Arakune actually seems to be connected to the black beast itself. Anything else...?
Oh yeah! Tao IS supposed to be connected Kokonoe and uh... what was the name again? u know the cat hero...
noel being possesed next game is going to be really lame. i hope they just give her a unlimited form for this game so that we can end this part of the story in the consel version CS.
The whole "I'll show you the power of the Azure" thing? I'm under the assumption that he's just doing it to make fun of Ragna because he's pretty much imitating the guy.
Ugh you can't deny something without knowing what's going on. That IS Noel, apparently her eyes are the key to the True Azure Grimmoire (thus why they're blue) as she is the successor to it. Hazama/Terumi has captured her in order to turn her into a Murakumo unit that is able to create the blade that can even cut gods, the Kusanagi. With it, he plans to take down the "master unit" known as Amaterasu. As for what exactly will happen with Noel...well...
I'm 99.9% sure it's Noel, but I'm hoping that it's Saya (or at least that Saya makes a return somehow) since I kinda don't like Noel's whiny and timid personality... when she handle's Bolverk, she's cool though.
Can you explain something about the video please?
I don't get what "BlazBlue" is now...Is it an imitation Azure Grimoire that Hazama/Terumi created? If he could easily create an imitation of it, what's stopping him from using the original himself, without Noel/Saya's help?
Who said it was easy? Remember he's from the Black Beast's time. And Blazblue is an armagus of some kind. Ragna thinks his is the real one, but Noel is the true owner
Ok, well maybe it isn't easy lol. But what I mean is, if you can create a replica of it (more than one if Ragna has one?) it seems kinda weird that he wasn't able to use the Azure Grimoire at least a bit don't you think?
Ragna knows his is fake though, Rachel tells him at the end of CT. What I'd like to know, is how you even obtain this Grimoire? Rachel said Noel was to inherit it, implying that she didn't have it at the time of CT.
I dont know why Noel has to have the grimoire. Is she a descendant of Terumi or something? And a little off topic but she cant rock the Grimoire like Ragna and Hazama can.
Well Noel was cloned from Saya, so I guess that makes Saya special in some way since all the Dimensional Boundary Contact Mediums are based on her...Maybe it'll be revealed either on the console release or someone else's arcade ending?
I agree about her not being able to rock the Grimoire lol, just not her style I'm thinking.
As a sidenote, I really wanted to see that Unlimited Hazama gameplay...
Another thing, if Noel was a clone made by Sector Seven and was said to die WAY before the events of Blazblue (This is in the Blazblue Guide out in Japan), how is she destined to have the Grimoire? And why didn't they make Blood Kain one of Hazama's Distortion Drives? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!
I think I know which guide your talking about, I'm pretty sure the same reason she survived would be the same reason she inherits it?
Not sure, but apparently it was distortions in each time loop, so maybe it was originally someone else who was supposed to inherit it until Noel survived that huge blast. Could've been Ragna/Nu at the end?
I think the only reason Hazama doesn't have Blood Kain is because he's not in any part a vampire lol. Or else Nu would've had it as well lol.
I'm thinking Rachel doesn't have it because she seems to have something against sucking blood (what with calling biting Ragna a sin and all). Plus I guess because she fights with her bat and cat?
Personality, I thought Ragna had a Blood Kain mode only because he actually attacks with blood (+some dark power/magic).
Yeah, I've been searching Youtube and Nico Nico Douga but I haven't seen any other arcade gameplay other than Ragna's... I find it kinda weird that other arcade stuff isn't up yet.
Honestly, I STILL don't get what it does, or why it's so special lol. I think we can assume that it provides the user with regeneration abilities (as we've seen with Ragna and Nu, although the former can be vampiric regeneration too I guess). I guess augmented physical ability too?
I think that we don't know what it does because we don't know what it's for. Right now the only thing I know is that Hazama wants to destroy Ameratasu(sp?) with it. I don't get why he wants to do that either lol.
Maybe Terumi is working for Relius Clover (Carl's dad-Put Ada into Nirvana's body). He might be the TRUE villian and the 6th hero. Valkenhayn, Hakumen, Jubei, Nine, Terumi, and the mystery guy.
I dunno, a lot of people on Dustloop think so too. I guess he IS known as the Puppeteer, but without at least one in-game reference to him, I'm undecided. Personally, I still think he plays a key role somewhere down the line, but I don't think he's behind everything (yet).
Off topic: I was really hoping Jubei/Valkenhayn would be the 3rd new character that they were considering adding. Valkenhayn reminds me of that guy from Hellsing, can't remember his name though.
idk if they'll add jubei, even though id love to see him in action. he is still in tao's astral heat so that might mean he's not going to be playable yet
I kinda feel like he'll be the last one added to the roster. That would suck too, since everyone keeps calling him the "strongest creature on Earth", I wanna see what he can do lol.
You mean Alucard? I don't really see him in Valkenhayn. Besides, Hazama plays too much like Slayer that there isn't enough room for another Slayer incarnation.Jubei probably won't be a character as he's the "Strongest in the World" or something like that. Of course, Hakumen is stronger than him at full power, but he's not at that level yet since he's still partially in the Boundary.
This discussion is going on WAY too long. It was a nice exchange, but I think we're taking too much space.
I feel like Hakumen isn't as strong as everyone thinks. Hakumen has Terumi's old body, so I'm thinking either Terumi's new body is something special, or that Terumi knows that even with Hakumen at 100%, Hakumen still couldn't beat him. Else I figure he'd have taken him out. Same can be said about Ragna though, why doesn't he just kill him when he has the chance?
Hakumen can't even go past 20%. 80% of his body is still trapped in the Edge. And unless Kokonoe pulls out the rest, there's not much threat so far...which is why Hakumen is working with Rachel.
I still don't quite get the history between Rachel and Hakumen, it's understandable that they're working together now, but why did he hate her so much in the first game? She saved his life and gave him purpose (well, I guess he always kind of *knew*).
We don't actually have confirmation of Valkenhayn's surname, though a lot of people are speculating that it's 'Hellsing' only because Jubei called him that in one episode of "Teach me miss Litchi".
It was most likely a nickname or reference to the fact that Valkenhayn slightly resembles Walter C. Dornez from Hellsing the anime (a butler to the Hellsing family, and a friend to Alucard) So it's basically a reference to the anime/whole vampire thing.

Code S.O.L- would be cool if it was a future GG cross reference, but im assuming it has to do with amaterasu since amaterasu is the sun gon and Sol is latin for Sun. Still would be cool if it was Sol Baduy xD, which would mix since he has fire power

well... there are when u fight regulary with Ragna vs Lambda-11 u see the ghost of Nu behind Lambda when u start fighting...
Aaaaand Ghost-Nu stops Lambda from killing Ragna in Lambdas/Kkonoes story.

So Nu is starting to become sane?
OmegaChosen0 2 years ago
Who knows? Maybe she just doesn't want someone else than her to kill her beloved ragna :P Even though it is another version of her...
Serious opinion: It might be something about that she is no longer affected by the cauldron or being in a murakumo body... The mind may have stabilized cuz... it's all that's left or her... maybe...

As long Noel doesn'r have Saya's memories I am fine

Thanks for posting...hopefully the console version will have that possessed Noel as a final boss so it won't leave it as a cliffhanger for the next game...Ragna's got his work cut out for him if he's gonna snap her out of it...

Okay 5 dollars says that Ragna gains the power of Amaterasu.
Laws of anime/games dictate if the villian gains/has ultimate power, The hero gains an equal/greater power.
Weibbles 2 years ago 6
5 dollars says Noel gets it. Allusions to Japanese mythology after all. Jin has the Susano'o, Rachel has the Tsukuyomi, and of course....Susano'o acted like a big jerk to Amaterasu. Guess who acted like a big jerk to Noel?
Cypher0120 2 years ago
But didn't Noel just become the weapon kill this 'Amaterasu'? That would be weird, being turned into the weapon to kill yourself.
Weibbles 2 years ago
True. But if she gets rescued and another Medium was used to temper Kusanagi instead, that could work.
She is only the twelfth after all.
Cypher0120 2 years ago
@ Weibbles
Preciously and whats a bigger jerk act treating like pondscum or chopping off your arm???
Plus the way Rachel is talking could mean that Ragna could gain more power and become Amaterasu
SoulZhane 2 years ago
Gah! Cliffhanger!
I'm guessing that girl, who is either Noel or Saya is the boss of the true ending.
Though I gotta say, it amazes me how everybody seems to know more about what the hell is going on than Ragna himself, yet they all go out of their way to piss him off. Seriously, it's as if the only way he can get any information is by beating the s*** out of the people he he meets.

not only am i happy but im really really confused, so this black hat guy made jin go nuts and noel forget? then he turned her in v-15 but with the true azure grimwoire also y is there more than one azure and its code name is blazblue? and code S.O.L does that mean we'll be seeing sol badguy return for some extra help? this vid answered many question but made alot of new ones
ShadowAssault007 2 years ago
Hazama was the one who cut off Ragna's right arm, messed with Jin's head a little to kidnap their little sister Saya, and is one of the Six Heroes.
He likes possessing bodies. Noel is the sucessor of the True Azure and her eyes can be used to locate the Master Unit, Amaterasu.
Hazama at the moment, still owns the true Azure grimoire. Using Noel, he plans to create Kusanagi to combat Amaterasu.
Cypher0120 2 years ago 3
thank u but im confused about the amaterasu and well jin stay like that forever and was he one of the six legndary heroes like mr.catman and hakumen? wait saya is noel right? i gatt ask cause they didnt say but it would make sense.
ShadowAssault007 2 years ago
Jin IS Hakumen.
hellblood9 2 years ago
wow wait what? how can that be possible, so is this jin a fake? im confused
ShadowAssault007 2 years ago
Hmmm. I was hoping someone would answer for me but I guess your still waiting.
At the beginning of Jin's story mode he is dictated as a false hero. I'm assuming he wasn't exactly a hero until he killed the Black Beast. He did so as Hakumen.
At the end of his story mode, Rachel rescued him and gave him a purpose. To kill the black beast that was supposedly created when Ragna and V-13 fell into the cauldron together. However, Noel broke the chain.
hellblood9 2 years ago
In the end of Noel's story mode I believe, Noel looks at Jin back at the academy and spots images of a White Soldier. That would be Hakumen.
For more literal proof, in Hazama's Arcade mode when he meets Hakumen, he address him by his old name. Jin Kisaragi.
Basically, from what I remember, this is how the story went. Hazama possessed Jin and cut Ragna's arm off. Hazama then placed a fragment of the Grimoire in place for his arm. Ragna then proceeded to destroy the bases which led the event.
hellblood9 2 years ago
Ragna fell into the cauldron with V-13 whom possessed another fragment of the Grimoire. When they both fell, they merged together and created the Black Beast. At that point, Jin was rescued and given a purpose by Rachel. That is where he became Hakumen. You should already know about the whole 6 heroes vs. Black beast stuff.
hellblood9 2 years ago
ok but im still confused, i thought when rachel was telling the story at the beginnning of the game it was b4 ragna got the new arm and stuff, but im guessing the story is the ned of blazblue 1, but i dont get how ragna beats the crap out of jin then jin becomes hakumen it still puzzles me, this makes me wanna play the story mode, but the story mode is so fucking boring.
ShadowAssault007 2 years ago
Rachel told the story about how Noel breaks the chain. From what I remember, the chain was the fact of the same event occurring over and over. That I mean Jin becoming Hakumen to slay the Black Beast. I'm still confuse on how thats even possible. Ragna could beat Jin easily because he is solely dependent on his Armagus. Hakumen however, has the susanoo and has the anti-grimoire-blackbeast effect. I mean, Ragna couldn't easily recover after his fight with Hakumen.
hellblood9 2 years ago
,ok thank u now im good that all i needed 2 know, oh wait does that mean that tao, carl tager, booby lady and arikune have no main part of this whole situation? dbesides bangs revenge against jin?
ShadowAssault007 2 years ago
They had incredibly minor roles in the story. Tao was a vigilante hunting for "Rawrgna" and actually befriended him. Arakune hunted Ragna because he wanted the Grimoire. Litchi is trying to protect and save Arakune. Bang just tried to get revenge and failed.
Carl, however, looks like he will play a much bigger role in the story.
hellblood9 2 years ago
ahh ok i should then read up on carl,
ShadowAssault007 2 years ago
Who knows, Bang can become more connected to the main story if they put his young master in the middle of it, while Arakune actually seems to be connected to the black beast itself. Anything else...?
Oh yeah! Tao IS supposed to be connected Kokonoe and uh... what was the name again? u know the cat hero...

genoNyght64 2 years ago
Ugh you can't deny something without knowing what's going on. That IS Noel, apparently her eyes are the key to the True Azure Grimmoire (thus why they're blue) as she is the successor to it. Hazama/Terumi has captured her in order to turn her into a Murakumo unit that is able to create the blade that can even cut gods, the Kusanagi. With it, he plans to take down the "master unit" known as Amaterasu. As for what exactly will happen with Noel...well...
CloudxYuffie 2 years ago
Thanks for clearing that up.
llumys 2 years ago
Noel's eyes are green. I bet it's either
A. When her Grimoire activates her eyes turn blue
or
B.*cough*Saya*cough*
dethman32 2 years ago
I'm 99.9% sure it's Noel, but I'm hoping that it's Saya (or at least that Saya makes a return somehow) since I kinda don't like Noel's whiny and timid personality... when she handle's Bolverk, she's cool though.
AtraLuna 2 years ago
Can you explain something about the video please?
I don't get what "BlazBlue" is now...Is it an imitation Azure Grimoire that Hazama/Terumi created? If he could easily create an imitation of it, what's stopping him from using the original himself, without Noel/Saya's help?
AtraLuna 2 years ago
Who said it was easy? Remember he's from the Black Beast's time. And Blazblue is an armagus of some kind. Ragna thinks his is the real one, but Noel is the true owner
dethman32 2 years ago
Ok, well maybe it isn't easy lol. But what I mean is, if you can create a replica of it (more than one if Ragna has one?) it seems kinda weird that he wasn't able to use the Azure Grimoire at least a bit don't you think?
Ragna knows his is fake though, Rachel tells him at the end of CT. What I'd like to know, is how you even obtain this Grimoire? Rachel said Noel was to inherit it, implying that she didn't have it at the time of CT.
AtraLuna 2 years ago
I dont know why Noel has to have the grimoire. Is she a descendant of Terumi or something? And a little off topic but she cant rock the Grimoire like Ragna and Hazama can.
dethman32 2 years ago
Well Noel was cloned from Saya, so I guess that makes Saya special in some way since all the Dimensional Boundary Contact Mediums are based on her...Maybe it'll be revealed either on the console release or someone else's arcade ending?
I agree about her not being able to rock the Grimoire lol, just not her style I'm thinking.
As a sidenote, I really wanted to see that Unlimited Hazama gameplay...
AtraLuna 2 years ago
Another thing, if Noel was a clone made by Sector Seven and was said to die WAY before the events of Blazblue (This is in the Blazblue Guide out in Japan), how is she destined to have the Grimoire? And why didn't they make Blood Kain one of Hazama's Distortion Drives? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!
dethman32 2 years ago
I think I know which guide your talking about, I'm pretty sure the same reason she survived would be the same reason she inherits it?
Not sure, but apparently it was distortions in each time loop, so maybe it was originally someone else who was supposed to inherit it until Noel survived that huge blast. Could've been Ragna/Nu at the end?
I think the only reason Hazama doesn't have Blood Kain is because he's not in any part a vampire lol. Or else Nu would've had it as well lol.
AtraLuna 2 years ago
i just thought blood kain was a perk that you get with the Grimoire. And Noel can't use it because she doesn't know that she herself has it.
And if Blood Kain was a vampiric power, why wouldn't Rachel have it?
Not to mention NO ONE has even bothered to post Tsubaki's arcade mode.
dethman32 2 years ago
I'm thinking Rachel doesn't have it because she seems to have something against sucking blood (what with calling biting Ragna a sin and all). Plus I guess because she fights with her bat and cat?
Personality, I thought Ragna had a Blood Kain mode only because he actually attacks with blood (+some dark power/magic).
Yeah, I've been searching Youtube and Nico Nico Douga but I haven't seen any other arcade gameplay other than Ragna's... I find it kinda weird that other arcade stuff isn't up yet.
AtraLuna 2 years ago
Then what does the Blazblue do? All it did to Ragna was boost his Blood powers.
And i want to see Hazama's and Tsubaki's arcade mode.
dethman32 2 years ago
Honestly, I STILL don't get what it does, or why it's so special lol. I think we can assume that it provides the user with regeneration abilities (as we've seen with Ragna and Nu, although the former can be vampiric regeneration too I guess). I guess augmented physical ability too?
I think that we don't know what it does because we don't know what it's for. Right now the only thing I know is that Hazama wants to destroy Ameratasu(sp?) with it. I don't get why he wants to do that either lol.
AtraLuna 2 years ago
Maybe Terumi is working for Relius Clover (Carl's dad-Put Ada into Nirvana's body). He might be the TRUE villian and the 6th hero. Valkenhayn, Hakumen, Jubei, Nine, Terumi, and the mystery guy.
Amaterasu*, btw.
dethman32 2 years ago
I dunno, a lot of people on Dustloop think so too. I guess he IS known as the Puppeteer, but without at least one in-game reference to him, I'm undecided. Personally, I still think he plays a key role somewhere down the line, but I don't think he's behind everything (yet).
Off topic: I was really hoping Jubei/Valkenhayn would be the 3rd new character that they were considering adding. Valkenhayn reminds me of that guy from Hellsing, can't remember his name though.
AtraLuna 2 years ago
idk if they'll add jubei, even though id love to see him in action. he is still in tao's astral heat so that might mean he's not going to be playable yet
EXEGUNSO 2 years ago
I kinda feel like he'll be the last one added to the roster. That would suck too, since everyone keeps calling him the "strongest creature on Earth", I wanna see what he can do lol.
AtraLuna 2 years ago
You mean Alucard? I don't really see him in Valkenhayn. Besides, Hazama plays too much like Slayer that there isn't enough room for another Slayer incarnation.Jubei probably won't be a character as he's the "Strongest in the World" or something like that. Of course, Hakumen is stronger than him at full power, but he's not at that level yet since he's still partially in the Boundary.
This discussion is going on WAY too long. It was a nice exchange, but I think we're taking too much space.
dethman32 2 years ago
lol, ok, one last thing. I meant the butler btw?
I feel like Hakumen isn't as strong as everyone thinks. Hakumen has Terumi's old body, so I'm thinking either Terumi's new body is something special, or that Terumi knows that even with Hakumen at 100%, Hakumen still couldn't beat him. Else I figure he'd have taken him out. Same can be said about Ragna though, why doesn't he just kill him when he has the chance?
Anyways, thanks for the discussion, I enjoyed it!
AtraLuna 2 years ago
No problem. =D
dethman32 2 years ago
Hakumen can't even go past 20%. 80% of his body is still trapped in the Edge. And unless Kokonoe pulls out the rest, there's not much threat so far...which is why Hakumen is working with Rachel.
Cypher0120 2 years ago
I still don't quite get the history between Rachel and Hakumen, it's understandable that they're working together now, but why did he hate her so much in the first game? She saved his life and gave him purpose (well, I guess he always kind of *knew*).
AtraLuna 2 years ago
Because Rachel is a total cunt.
Elyon 2 years ago
@AtraLuna: Wait, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Valkenhayn's surname Hellsing?
With Rachel's surname being Alucard...
HMMMM....
ClavisEspada 2 years ago
We don't actually have confirmation of Valkenhayn's surname, though a lot of people are speculating that it's 'Hellsing' only because Jubei called him that in one episode of "Teach me miss Litchi".
It was most likely a nickname or reference to the fact that Valkenhayn slightly resembles Walter C. Dornez from Hellsing the anime (a butler to the Hellsing family, and a friend to Alucard) So it's basically a reference to the anime/whole vampire thing.
