Jin getting put into the susanoo unit causes his memories to be damaged, it's not that Jin gets his memories wiped. The problem with your theory is alot of the CT stuff was retcon by WoF, the novels, and some parts of CS. Only the CT reconstruction should be considered the 'canon' path to the true end. Most of the CT loops happened, and it is possible for Jin to be hakumen even in a timeline with Noel, just that the hakumen from CS comes from the WoF timeline.

Can you link this?

No, it's completed.

Done. Hopefully this isn't a one off and arc releases the rest of the story modes, trying to get a decent stream of a arcade run through where the player doesn't skip convos is hell.

R: Tao!? Tao---!? R: Dammit, she was all "if you're gonna find someone leave it me meow" and now where the hell did she run off to? R: ... Well, it's fine I guess. It's not like she'll die if I leave her alone or anything. T: I thought I sensed a reaction. So it was you then... Ragna the Bloodedge. R: Geh, the Red Devil again... Come to think of it, you were coming to Ikaruga as well, weren't you. T: So what about it? Where I am and where I choose to go is none of your concern. R: Tch... Fine. More importantly Red Devil, do you know where Noel Vermillion currently is? T: Noel... Vermillion... you said? R: ... that face tells me you do "know something" T: Even if I did know something... do you think I'd tell you? R: I guess not. T: You... that power... R: Tch, you're as hard as ever... Oi! Kokonoe!! You're watching this, aren't you? K: Pretty slow, Ragna the Bloodedge. I thought you'd get here sooner. T: Guh, sorry, Kokonoe. R: As thanks for this left arm, I won't kill your Red Devil. So, where's Noel then? She's here in Ikaruaga, isn't she? K: ... It's true Noel's currently in Ikaruga... But unfortunately, Tager and I are also trying to find her. R: What? K: Up till yesterday she was literally right beside me. But after hearing that this imperial guard named Tsubaki or something came to Ikaruga, Makoto and her dashed off. Really, those two idiots... R: Tsubaki... Are you talking about Tsubaki Yayoi? K: Oh, so you knew already? R: The Sealed Armament (I forgot the offical term for 封印兵装), Izayoi huh... Tch, that's gonna be one troublesome opponent. I guess I should go ahead and take care of that first... ---------- R: Heh, so that's the Sealed Armament, Izayoi, huh? T: Ragna the Bloodedge... R: You're Tsubaki Yayoi right? Sorry but do you know this girl called Noel? I'm currently looking for her... T: ... Ragna the Bloodedge, the Mikado herself has issued a warrant for your arrest. Throw aside your weapon immediately. R: An order from the Mikado? ... Are you an idiot? Did you think after hearing that I'd quietly submit and go along with you? More importantly, I asked if you know Noel... T: Ragna the Bloodedge... Because of you, Noel is... Makoto is... And Jin... R: Huh? T: Ragna the Bloodedge! The warrant for your capture states you can be brought in dead or alive. If you will not submit quietly... R: I won't say anything bad if you just give up now. You can't beat me with the Izayoi. T: Guh... R: That's why I told you that, you idiot... T: Ragna the Bloodedge... R: "Murakumo Unit Prototype"... Unfortunately for you, I have lots of experience fighting opponents who have "that sort of trick" up their sleeve. T: ... What are you doing? Hurry up and kill me. R: I'm not gonna do it.... Don't be in such a rush to die, you idiot. Aren't you Noel's friend? I don't know what you were planning, but you drew out the sealed armament T: Sh, shut up! ... who's fault do you think that is... Guh... R: ... Well, suit yourself. Sorry but... I'm going to have to destroy that armament right now. R: Tch! T: Huh? --------------------- R: ... What are you planning, you masked freak? Hk: ... Withdraw, Tsubaki Yayoi. T: Hakumen-sama?! ... Kuh... I thank you. Hk: Hmph...For you to be "saving people", what kind of a joke is this? R: Shut up. I don't want to hear that, especially when it comes from you. Hk: Sealed Armament Izayoi... The one who can sever its karma is Tsubaki Yayoi... it has to be of her own free will. R: Free will? What the hell are you talking about?! She's already under the complete influence of 'Mind Eater'. That's not something she can do by herself in current state! Hk: ... Even if that is so, it is not your role to destroy it. R: ... Ok ok, I got it. Now step aside. There's something I have to do up ahead. Hk: The 'gate' won't open if the 'successor of the Azure' isn't there. R: You... Hk: 'Kushinada's Lynchpin' is being sought after... No matter what your goal is... Did you think I would open the path for you? R: I knew it would come to this. R: Damn it, you're strong. Hk: Heh heh, you've gotten better, dark one. Hz: Alrighty little doggies, playtime is over~ Hk: Wha- R: Terumi!! Hz: Phantom, please escort our unwanted guest out of here. Hk: Bastard...!! ---------------------------------- R: What are you planning Terumi, and where the hell are you!? H: Ah Raggie, you came at just the right moment. I still need to get ready, so I was hoping you could help me with the preparations on my end. R: Don't screw with me you bastard! H: Down boy, I'm not your opponent today... So then... let's begin the heartwarming reunion scene~~! R: What-?! R: Nu... right? N: Rag... na H: Hm~ How nice, the two tied together by the wheel of fate. Now then, I need to start fine-tuning the adjustments. Let's start with something easy, so firstly, "Izanagi no Tsurugi"... H: Kill each other, won't you? R: 'Izanagi no Tsurugi", you said!? N: Ahahahahahaha!!! Let's kill each other, Ragna R: Tch!! N: That won't do Ragna! That's totally not enough to satisfy me at all~~~!! R: Shit... It can't be helped then. R: Restriction 666 released, Dimensional Interference Field Deployed! Idea Engine Connected! BlazBlue... R: Woah, what now?! H: Alrighty Raggie, thanks for all your hard work~ Your assistance has been greatly appreciated... Hee hee hee~ R: It can't be, a dimensional interference!? That's impossible, you can't create an interference on such a large scale... H: Too bad~, but I can. Thanks to the Mikado's power, The Takamagahara interfence level is higher than that of the "successor of the Azure" H: Oi number 13, there's still some time left... so you can kill each other to your heart's content... hyaheehee~ R: Terumi!! N: Don't look elsewhere Ragna... Please... Look only at Nu... kukuku... ahahahahahaha! R: ... Nu, you bitch... H: Kukuku... The "banquet" is about to begin. H: Now, struggle!! Torment!! Kill each other!! Show me more of that unsightly dance!! Your wretched "screams"... H: Will open the nemesis horizon... H: kukuku... hyahahahahahaha!!

Nope, Mu and Noel have exactly the same likes and dislikes.

Uh. The description itself states very clearly that tsubaki is the one who awakens Izayoi. Why would people think otherwise?

famitsu profiles are interesting. Looks like arc is finally tying the LNs to the main series with relius hunting for kushinada's lynchpin, which is supposedly somewhere within ikaruga.

but yeah it's mostly likely something to do with tsubaki.

Ayame Yayoi The video's not up, it won't be up for another 12 hours. Mori's tweet was viedo out on the 18th at 2pm, it's only 2am here

eh, should have phrased it better. Nu looks like she has two forms, her murakumo form, and her pre-battle armorless form with that giant sword. If I had to guess 戦闘モード would be the murakumo mode, and going into it will alter her moveset

戦闘モードを変更することで、使える技を変化するのが特徴だ (when she changes to battle mode, her specials change as well) basically, I think it means she can switch in and out of murakumo mode.

yes. He said "the other characters all got new moves." You probably heard 全部(zenbu) and thought it referred to all the previous characters, but within the sentence it was ほかのチャラも全部新技をつける (hoka no chara mo zenbu shin waza wo tsukeru), so I think you've misunderstood.

Guys, Mori just says "I think it's already been mentioned, but the other characters also have new specials". Nothing about "all characters returning".

the rough gist of bang and amane's encounter goes like this: Bang mistakes him for a her, and a ikaruga version of a yamato nadeshiko at that. Then amane clarifies he's the leader of his troupe, bang feels grossed out, and scolds him for not dressing like a proper ikaruga male. Which makes amane pissy and want to beat him up.

Amane: Oh... this is quite fascinating. Jin: ... Who the hell are you? Quit staring at me like that, you're giving me the creeps. Amane: You probably perform some sort of martial arts, yes? Hm... that's the uniform of the Librarium isn't it... oh my, I must apologise for my rudeness. Jin: ... I don't have time to waste on the likes of you. Get lost. Amane: Dear me, aren't you a little cold. Well, that's fine. Hey you, how about you quit the Librarium and come be part of my troupe? Jin: I thought I said "Get lost"... did you not hear me? Amane: OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH! I've fin~~~~ally found you!!! Carl: Waaah! Wh, who are you?! Carl: ... I think I understand Amane-san's splendid dream. So, what do you want with me? Amane: Be mine! Amane: Won't you "dance" alongside me? Carl: ... Hey sis, let's go. I'm feeling a little hungry, what should we eat today?

given her popularity over there, I guess it was inevitable.

such a awesome episode. ... subbing azrael just for his va alone

holy shit fenrichi's hitconfirm is so godlike. And that gold burst to counter the other gold burst was just...

I'm going to bold one part of my 1st post what you're doing is just assigning what you think is a reference to mythology when there isn't a reference at all. Seriously? Relius and terumi creating murakumos is analogous to amaterasu and susanoo creating deities? You do know terumi had NOTHING to do with creation of murakumo units right? I could pick apart almost everything in your post, but this is a story discussion thread, not a debate. So I'll end it with this: ^ this man is wise

You have to elaborate on these "foundation aspects", and Yamato's encounter with the priestess is nothing like Rachel and Ragna's first encounter. I don't see how there's any link between the two events. I also fail to see what his jacket being heavy has to do with anything. terumi has susanoo aspects to his character because he was in the susanoo unit. relius on the other hand, has nothing to do with this particular mythtology. At all. EDIT: In fact, this has been discussed before. Hakumen is supposed to represent the good side of susanoo, where he killed orochi and saved kushinada. Terumi is the bad half of susanoo, the one that disrupted heaven and pissed off amaterasu and got banished.

What. No. Ragna is nothing like yamato takeru. Japanese mythology plays a huge part in bb, but that doesn't mean every character in bb corresponds to a character from folklore. If you really want to link Ragna to someone, then he would be susanoo. (I know haku has the susanoo unit.) -He has two siblings (male and female) he doesn't get along with -He stopped the black beast (who represents orochi) -caelica is the key to powering kushinada's lynchpin For plot related stuff, I wonder how much of that interview with mori was jut trolling.The pairings at the end of CS make it very hard to lump the groups into just 3 broad storylines. We have: -Jin and Jubei -Ragna and Tao -Tager, Noel and Makoto -Haku and Rachel -Carl -Bang and Plat -NOL Assuming NOL takes up one storyline by themselves, Bang, plat, carl, haku and rachel could possibly be in one storyline, with amane the common factor. Then there's the sector seven+ noel, who will probably interact with bullet. The problem is where jin and ragna fits.
