List of BlazBlue characters
This is a list of characters for the fighting video game series BlazBlue.
Ragna the Bloodedge (ラグナ＝ザ＝ブラッドエッジ, Raguna za Buraddoejji) is the main protagonist of the series from Calamity Trigger to Central Fiction. Also known as the Grim Reaper, he is feared by the NOL for being the most powerful individual to have ever rebelled against them since the Ikaruga Civil War. His actions, which included destroying countless numbers of their branches, have labeled him the most wanted criminal and caused him to receive the largest bounty ever in the history of the NOL. He possesses a powerful form of "Ars Magus" called the Azure Grimoire, also known as the titular BlazBlue, which is often either the secondary or primary target of those after him and the bounty. His goal is to destroy the NOL, for he blames them for destroying his family. He is Jin Kisaragi's biological brother, whose rivalry with him stems from an incident that happened, when their sister Saya was presumably killed. His right arm is prosthetic because his real one was removed by Terumi, who had taken control of Jin's mind. He was resurrected by Rachel as a dhampir, causing one of his green eyes to turn red and his once-blond hair to white. The BlazBlue he possesses is only a fragment of an imitation. The true Grimoire is actually destined to be wielded by Noel Vermillion. In Continuum Shift, Ragna receives the Idea Engine from the dying Lambda which enabled him to access the true Azure. He realizes that Saya is possessed by Izanami, and decides to give up vengeance and protect his loved ones in Chrono Phantasma, In Central Fiction, he protects the girl inside Amaterasu from other people whose dreams are strong enough to remake the world. He and Jin (including his future-past counterpart Hakumen) soon learned that Noel/Mu can be used to recreate Saya, whose soul remains in her old body, possessed by Izanami. Once Noel and Mu merge, he helps Noel merge with Izanami and imprison her into her soul, recreating Saya. With the help of Jin and Trinity after Ragna separates the Susano'o armor from Terumi, Jin transports Ragna and Terumi to the Azure void where Ragna can kill him for good. Once all evils are finished, and after helping Noel merge with the Origin to free her from the Amaterasu Unit, Ragna casts himself into the cauldron and remain outside the world, to prevent anyone from retrieving the Azure. As this act would erase himself from the memories of everybody in the story, he says goodbye to his beloved siblings and tells Amane that he has no regrets at all. Ragna disappears and abandons his sword, which is later placed to the hill near Celica's church as a makeshift grave. It is unknown when will Ragna return to the real world, as the final scene shows that the sword has been taken by somebody. He is also hinted not to be a natural-born human due to his unusual features, an idea that is confirmed in the final game when it is revealed he is the child of the fifth Prime Field Device. Ragna's weapon is called Blood-Scythe (ブラッドサイズ Buraddo Saizu), a giant sword extending into a scythe. His Drive, Soul Eater, enables him to attack an opponent and steal a portion of damage dealt to replenish health.
Jin Kisaragi (ジン＝キサラギ) is a former Major in the NOL, one of the elite commanding officers and Ragna's rival. He is cool and calm, but he is sometimes jealous, ambitious and possessive with little care for others, treating them like they are mere obstacles. He displayed formidable actions to gain his rank during the Ikaruga Civil War. When he heard that Ragna the Bloodedge had arrived on the scene, he quickly abandoned his post to hunt him down by himself. However, the truth reveals that Ragna is Jin's biological brother, and Jin's early feelings of rivalry were furthered by his visions of the future and his Nox Nyctores' amplification of his emotions. Terumi corrupted Jin and incited him to remove Ragna's arm (the latter nearly dying without the intervention of Rachel) and supposedly kills Saya, and Jin often says that he is looking forward to killing Ragna again. After the incident, he was adopted into the Kisaragi house, a highly powerful and respected family within the NOL. He has a notable psychosis, said to be caused by his sword, the Nox Nyctores Mucro Algesco: Yukianesa (氷剣・ユキアネサ, Hyōken: Yukianesa). While the sword grants him manipulation over ice, it enhances primal feelings and is often blamed for insanity. It is also revealed that Hakumen is another incarnation of Jin from a different time cycle called "Calamity Trigger". Jin's Drive, Frost Bite, allows him to freeze his opponents. In Chrono Phantasma, he begins to resist the effects of his weapon. In Central Fiction, he no longer acts insane towards Ragna. At the end of the series, Ragna separates the Susano'o armor from Terumi, and Jin manages to don the armor with the help of Trinity and destroy Terumi's physical form, before transporting the two to an Azure void where Ragna defeats Terumi. Ragna takes the Master Unit away from the world, despite the warning of his siblings. After bidding Ragna farewell, Jin loses all memories of his brother. At the end of the series, Jin has been promoted to a higher rank, but he can no longer fight due to his deal with Trinity having used up all of his energy.
Noel Vermillion (ノエル＝ヴァーミリオン, Noeru Vāmirion) is the main heroine of the series, who was found as a young girl amidst the burning fields of Ikaruga where she was rescued, and then adopted by the noble Vermillion family. After her family was accused of treason, she attended the Military Academy in an attempt to save them. It was because of her outstanding combat activity that she became a lieutenant of the NOL using the Nox Nyctores revolver Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk (魔銃・ベルヴェルク, Majū: Beruveruku), which does not only fire bullets but rather inflicts damage by creating distortions in dimensional space. At the start of the series, she was Jin's secretary. In truth, Noel suffers amnesia, and is actually Mu-12 (ミュー·トゥエルブ, Myū-Tuerubu; μ-12-, μ -No.12-), a Murakumo Unit created by Relius Clover, the predecessor of Nu-13 and first playable in the console version of Continuum Shift, where her form serves as the final boss. After being rescued by Ragna, Noel seeks out Rachel in Chrono Phantasma, who helps her learn to control her powers as Mu. In Central Fiction however, Noel separates from Mu to protect the gate to the Azure, and it is revealed that she is the Master Unit's link to the world, due to being based on the Origin itself. After Noel merges with Mu once again, she manages to imprison Izanami within her soul with the help of Ragna, recreating Saya, though she prefers to still use "Noel", so as to prevent Izanami from possessing her. At the end of the series, Noel merges with "The Origin", and Ragna takes the Master Unit away from the real world to prevent the time from looping, despite Jin's warning. Noel, still keeping Izanami imprisoned within her soul, has resigned from the NOL, working with Lambda at Celica's restored church and watching the catatonic Nu-13. With her Drive, Chain Revolver, Noel does different attacks in an active stance.
Jonathan Oyama at VentureBeat gave Noel positive reception, where he described her as being "extremely effective as a fighter," and stated "Oddly enough, she's one of the few game characters who I can truly sympathize with. Just like Noel, I often have a tough time remembering my own past."
Noel's true form, Mu-12 was introduced as the final boss of Continuum Shift. Initially, Terumi sealed Noel's memories after breaking her with intense psychological conditioning to hate the world, and she serves him for one purpose: to destroy the Sankishin Unit "Amaterasu" and erase the world from its existence. Due to this, she is called Kusanagi, the "Sword of the Godslayer" and the perfect form of a Murakumo Unit, and her hatred for the world has increased substantially, making her aggressive towards everything she fights. Like Nu, Mu wields the Nox Nyctores Lux Sanctus: Murakumo, though her version is different in color and appearance. Her Drive, Steins Gunner, projects a Stein to a targeted location. In the end of Continuum Shift, Ragna is able to undo Terumi's conditioning and restore Noel, who initially is afraid of her true self afterwards. However, in Chrono Phantasma, Noel acknowledges Mu as herself and is able to use her true abilities while retaining her personality. In Central Fiction Mu is separated from Noel after they learn the truth of the world in an effort to protect the gate to the Azure. This leaves Mu without a form and existing as only a soul, while an amnesiac Noel retains their body. Eventually, the two rejoin and are able to explain the truth of the world to Ragna and Jin, as well as the nature of Izanami. Noel uses this form to imprison Izanami within her soul, with the help from Ragna.
Rachel Alucard (レイチェル＝アルカード, Reicheru Arukādo) is a vampire and the current head of the noble Alucard family. Despite her small appearance, she is a formidable opponent in battle, using her servants, Nago and Gii, as weapons, and her Drive, Silpheed, to control the wind. Rachel also possesses one of the three Sankishin, the Tsukuyomi Unit (ツクヨミユニット, Tsukuyomi Yunitto), which is a giant shield that she describes as the "ultimate defense". Rachel slipped out of her castle in search of fun because she hates to be bored, though in truth she is an 'Observer' tasked with watching over the actions of the main characters. Due to her hairstyle, several characters nickname her "Rabbit", a name that irritates her to no end, though Ragna seems to be the only one who can get away with her. Despite her status, however, she deeply loathes her vampiric impulses. She seems to be watching Ragna, as she is the one who accidentally turned him into a half-vampire by giving him her powers (this is also the reason behind his heterochromia and healing ability). Due to this, he is one of the only characters who is aware of her. Though Rachel often insults Ragna and treats him poorly, it is simply a ruse to hide the feelings she has developed for him. She also watches and toys with the other characters of the game as part of her amusement. In Chrono Phantasma, she asks Tsubaki to kill her if she, Jin or Noel fails to kill Ragna. In Central Fiction, it is shown that Rachel is losing her powers due to constant interference and she is shown to have reacted to Naoto due to his similarities to Ragna, making her lose her composure. In the ending, Rachel loses her memories of Ragna due to his sacrifice, but recalls having fond memories of someone whose name she does not know. It is implied that she will try to find Ragna once more, aided by White Justice, the future being of Tsubaki from an alternate timeline.
Taokaka (タオカカ), or Tao for short, is a catgirl wand a member of the Kaka tribe, wearing a large coat obscuring her true face, only exposing beady red eyes and a row of teeth (whether or not this is her true face is a mystery), paws for hands and feet, and a clearly visible tail. The rest of her body, from the chest to the ankles, is that of a human being, with tanned skin and large breasts. She wants to get back the sky above her village, which was sealed off by humans building cities above her village, was recently sent by the Elder to retrieve the bounty on Ragna's head, becoming a vigilante in the process. Despite this resolve, she is considerably food-obsessed and forgetful, often falling asleep on a whim, becoming hungry moments after a meal, or forgetting details moments after hearing them. She is good friends with Litchi, affectionately referring to her as "boobie lady". However, she does not seem to refer to anyone other than herself by name; she calls Ragna "good guy" (because he buys her food), Bang "scruffy man", Arakune "black squiggly", Noel "lacking lady", Hakumen "mask man", Nu "flappy-flap", and Jubei "cat person". She cannot recognize that Ragna the "good-guy" and "Rawrgna" the criminal are the same person. It is revealed the Kaka tribe, which she hails from, is actually genetically engineered from the genes of Jubei, one of the Six Heroes. With her Drive, Dancing Edge, Taokaka launches at her opponents in a torpedo-like fashion.
