Yeah, about this. What happened to the Nox after the war: Take-Mikazuchi: No clue Yukianesa: Stolen by Seven, was not sealed Bolverk: Mysteriously vanished, was not sealed Nirvana: Sealed, was later unsealed by Relius using Ada as a catalyst Musashi: Sealed, no sign of it being unsealed Ookami: Sealed, no sign of it being unsealed Muchourin: Sealed, but Trinity unsealed it using herself as a catalyst Ouroboros: Was not sealed Rettenjou: Was not sealed

Not quite. 4chan was based off Futaba Channel (2chan), not NiiChannel (2ch). However, 2chan was created out of fears that 2ch would shutdown, so in a way 4chan is indirectly based off 2ch. Generally speaking, neither 2ch or 2chan are particularly good sources but at the very least from my past experience 2ch rumours aren't always false. The same could not be said for 2chan.

Nothing is stated about the other families policies on purity of bloodline other than that they all think the Yayois and Kisaragis are radicals/extremists for their policies.

No. The Kisaragi is explicitly a family that cares little for blood ties and adopts a lot of its members. On that note, the Kisaragi family was founded by Seven of the Ten Sages. Seven wielded the Yukianesa during the Dark War and stole it shortly after, meaning the Kisaragis were probably the ones who held it until it came into Jin's hand and they were probably complicit in Terumi's attack on Celica's church.

It's hold to tech in CP, like in Persona.

I don't really expect attack naming schemes to make a whole lot of sense, I mean Amane's special attacks are all named after Super Sentai shows for no apparent reason.

Many of Relius's moves are named after actual names. Lauger, Haas, Ley, Lanto and Tus are all actual surnames. I think Lafino might be one too. Tedo appears to be a first name used in Georgia (the country, not the American state).

"Arena" is actually called Colosseum, and Sealed Space is the stage for Hakumen's final boss.

Actually, the plate and icon pictured there are for everyone who enters (even if they lose). They also receive a special "Ao no Chousensha" (Azure Challenger) title. But there are other rewards, not pictured. Area Finalists get a special "Hakugin no Yuushi" (Silver Hero) title and a special icon. National Finalists get a special "Koukin no Eiketsu" (Golden Hero) title and a special icon. Players who make it to the Best 4 get a special icon. 2nd Place gets a special icon. Winner gets a special "Souen no Hasha" (Champion of the Blue Flame) title and a special plate.

http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/watch/bk1823 NicoNico Age Premium is up, if anyone wants to rip the chapter from there.

Oh hi. About Remix Hear Chapter 8. NicoNico Age Premium is currently non-viewable for whatever reason, but it's available on the Yahoo Age Premium. http://bookstore.yahoo.co.jp/free_magazine-141422/ Having given Chapter 8 a quick skim, I'm genuinely surprised at the amount of plot. And it's a stark contrast to the previous chapters in terms of themes.

Okay, to put things into perspective: Celica entered the Black Beast at the end of Phase Shift 3 and this continued into Phase Shift 4. This is 3 years since Bloodedge sacrificed himself. Celica found both Nu and Ragna inside the Black Beast. Curiously this Ragna still had his jacket and when he saw Celica off he was beside the "present day" Rachel. Some Japanese fans have speculated that the Ragna that was met by Celica in the Black Beast is not the CT Ragna that had sacrificed himself as Bloodedge but the CP Ragna, who through unknown circumstances came to help Celica. No, I don't fully understand the basis behind this theory either.

Eh, AFAIK Celica was actually physically inside the Black Beast when Nu showed up.

No, it's Takamagahara. Tamagahara was a mistranslation Aksys used in CT that they stopped using in CS.

The circumstances of why she called him that wouldn't really fit that reasoning. She popped up and demanded to know who he was because she finds him suspicious and then as soon as he shows the fact he's well aware of what she is, Rachel called him "Bushin" and then Amane basically replied "Bushin? What's that?"

Thought it was the other way around, Noel was supposed to be the Master Unit's eyes so it's more like she belongs to Amaterasu rather than Amaterasu belonging to her.

"Dance God", but I'm keeping it in romanised form since that's what's given as the name of Amane's ending. Amane was also well aware of the fact that Rachel was a vampire and of "SlaveRed" (AKA "Crimson [Demon/Magic] Eyes", implied to be something of Rachel's).

Not sure about Bullet, but Rachel calls Amane "Bushin" and it seems to imply he has some important role in the plot that we have yet to see.

I just remembered this and I don't think it's really been brought up, Gain Art (Gain Arte?) is not something exclusive to Izayoi. Ragna mentions it in Azrael's ending while he was pondering out loud about possible sources for Azrael's power and Bullet says "Gein Aato" (Gain Art) when using a burst. I wonder what Gain Art actually is.

http://blazblue.jp/topics.html#topics476 Episode 4 has been delayed by a week, will be posted on the 21st instead. This would be why there was no preview this week.

No, she didn't. Trinity did, however. And it sure as hell traumatised her.

It says it contains 164 pages, so I'm guessing 6 chapters.

I don't think they're very far away from each other, the central tower of Ikaruga is visible from most stages, which are all in different cities. Only stages it's not visible in are Colosseum, Grave Marker of Bases, Sealed Space and Rachel's stages (which still say they're in Kagutsuchi, even though they obviously aren't).

Guests for next episode have already been confirmed. It's Isocchi and Kana Ueda (yes, 2 guests). Kakihara isn't in the episode, though he could still guest star in another.
