What Ragna's beast form is that his grimoire goes berserk, I doubt that any one can control it. At that moment Izanami tried to use Take-mikazuchi to kill Amaterasu. All that Ragna's beast form would do is to jump on Take-Mikazuchi and fight it. And that wouldn't be in Izanami's interest at that moment.

Rachel said in CP that she is on no one's side, she likely wants to protect Amaterasu and fulfill her wish. Rachel is likely counting on Ragna to do it but she can't risk something happening to Amaterasu so she is putting on several safety nets(Hakumen, Jin, Tsubaki).

The Life-link between Nu and Ragna should be ineffective during CS since it works by the System Observing both Ragna and Nu and watching their Life and Death values. But Nu is in the Boundary (outside the system's "vision") only Ragna's value should be seen. Also the Life-link between Nu and Ragna was mentioned in CT, only never by the name (Nu said that as long as Ragna is alive she can't die and the same for Ragna). And yeah, when did Ragna get his Life-link with Nu. When he was in the lab? When he put on the Grimoire? From some paradox that he was once a Black Beast in the past with Nu? While both must die at the same time, it's not known the time between the death it has to be (seconds? Minutes? Hours?). Hakumen wasn't the only one to kill the Black Beast during the Dark War (he tried to do it on his own but failed...). The reason the Black Beast was killed was because 1, they teleporedt it to the place were there is a "spring" of anit-bodies that neutralize seithr to weaken it. 2, the Six heroes plus many people from the magic Guild used Ars Armagus on it to kill the body. 3, Ragna together with Celica(who slowed down the time inside of it like in CP) killed the Heart(Nu) inside of it. Immortal Breaker isn't called like that because it kills Immortals, it's because you can kill observers(immortals) with it. Normally when you kill a observer, the observer can simply observe themselves as alive and so they won't die. But what the Immortal Breaker does is that it forces the observer to observe themselves as dead.

It's hard to say what Kazuma and Hazama is to Terumi. What is known is: Terumi lost his body when the Black Beast was revived(復活). And he would later possess Kazuma who thanks to Relius arrangements has infiltrated Ishana. When the fusion between Kazuma and Terumi was complete he got captured by Valkenhayn and sealed by Clavis. Nine needed Terumi's knowledge so she released him from Clavis seal and put Mind Eater on him. In order to somewhat escape Mind Eater Terumi separated his mind from Kazuma's making only Terumi effected by it. Using his dual personalities he founded Sector Seven and NOL from the shadows. And he got sealed into the Boundary together with Hakumen, and would later only get his spirit released by Takamagahara. When Noel got the "True Azure" she "recognized" Hazama as Terumi making Terumi finally completely revived into the real world. At least in the Arcade ending it is shown that Terumi can talk with Hazama, and Terumi was at the end in the Cauldron since Hazama told him to go there. Arakune disappeared like Shinhwa said, and last he was seen in Sector Seven ending was he was in the Cauldron in Ibukido and waited to be used as a Receptor by Relius and be turned into a Black Beast, or something like that, Had no idea what Relius was trying to accomplish.

The Kisaragi's has always been somewhat mercenary like, the strongest on the top, so it doesn't surprise me that some in Kisaragi would try to get rid of Jin. Also, Seven of the Ten Saints who was the head of Kisaragi, did go to quite a length to see that Yukianesa wouldn't get it's core released and remain in the Kisaragi family so Kisaragi's as been a bit corrupt in the past. Relius shouldn't look that younger, it takes place at earliest in the year 2196 (the year Noel enters the school) and latest in the year 2197 (the year Jin kills Tenjou) which is around 4-3 years.

Episode 7. Rachel: Didn't you realize a little about who she really is? Ragna: Her eye color was different. Rachel: That's right, she is in pre-tempering state.

I could think that the whole "Saya" thing is like this: Saya is the 01th prime field, got destroyed by Izayoi so she no longer is the eye for the Master Unit, and would later be picked up from the boundary with no memories of being the 01st prime field and she was put in the same lab as Ragna and Jin were in. Jubei finds the lab and brings the children to Celica for protection. Hazama finds Saya and makes her remember being the 01th prime field and breaks her mind making Saya's body unfit for the soul. And Hazama then brings Saya to Relius and Relius creates the 11th, 12th and 13th prime fields. Saya's soul somehow wanders between these three since they were based on Saya, but finally sets itself on Noel since only Noel was not tempered (in the anime it was said that the eyes were red on Lamda and Nu since they were tempered).

Just read the chapter 18 part 2. The fight with Chacha sure was short. Chacha gave up almost imediatly since she knew she wouldn't defeat Mai... But still, Nine's relic the Crimson Grimoire, Burning Red, might be in Torifune. The plot is finally heading somewhere?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was so that they would have some control over Take-mikazuchi, so it wouldn't go on a rampage and firing it's laser at random locations.

Drei isn't a Union so he doesn't have a Drive, he uses magic to power himself up and fight with his fists. Yukianesa never had it's core released. Seven killed Eight and hid her body and Yukianesa and claimed that Eight had stole it, so that Yukianesa one day would mysteriously return to the Kisaragi family when most people had forgotten about the fact that the cores must be released. Bolverk was reported as missing after the final battle with the Black Beast and doesn't have it's core released, no idea what happened to it or why Noel has it. Trinity put her soul as Muchourin's core when she fell into the Gate when Nine was killed.

They might be connected. After all, the way a Union's crystal works is very similar to that how a Grimoire works (take in seithr, make magic). Gain Art(増幅陣, Amplification Circle) was mentioned also by Ragna in Azrael arcade end. Gain Art in Xblaze is when the Crystal of a Union starts to drain uncontrollably seithr from the air, becoming to much stress for the body and kills the Union. It can't happen natural, it's a side effect of when Sechs uses Deadly Sign on people to turn them to Unions and it fails.

Touya: Grimoire of Origin Mei: Blood Kain Akira: Hekatonkheires Ripper: Scissors Hands Sechs: Deadly Sign Acht: Veil Skin Union 1: Scream Jaw Union 2: Iron Shooter

Toxin is likely talking about this: It's only a little badly worded. Having a soul in Blazblue is very important since the world of Blazblue is like a very complex "computer simulation", so what makes one a real "person" is the soul.

Yeah, what is known is that Izanami have a hard time being around Terumi due to Saya, that is all. That she didn't kill Ragna was only a thought/theory from Terumi, nothing more. Izanami even denied it saying that it was not her fault that Ragna was still alive and it wasn't her duty to kill him. Sure the reason that Izanami want to have Ragna by her side could be because of Saya, but don't jump to conclusion just yet. And not kill Celica? Where was this? She only ignored Celica as far as I can remember.

You mean this right? To me it looks like Touya is starting to turn into a black beast. Look at the eyes on it, it's the same as on the Black Beast, and the Black Crystal in the middle is the Grimoire. I would guess there is two way's Touya's grimoire can go berserk, either he turn's into that when he overuse the Grimoire (he started to look like that since he didn't stop draining seithr from the crystals that Unomaru had collected) or he turns into the Beast by not having the right mind set for the Grimoire.

About sending her feelings(想い). When thinking about Artificial Being's eyes, I've a feeling that red eyes is supposed to be that one doesn't have a soul(or at least a whole one), and green eye's is that one has. If you look closely at Es, you can see that while her eyes are red they are starting to turn a green, meaning that while Es doesn't have a soul, she is starting to get one. This can be strengthen with Sechs starting to call her a "incomplete being" instead of simply "doll". And when Hinata gave Es her feelings, it made Es finally having her own soul. It's seems that in BlazBlue, having a soul is a big deal considering how much Relius is interested in them, and Hakumen telling Makoto to take care of her soul, likely because as Nu said, Makoto's soul is less then 0,2% corrupt by seithr.

Black Beast= Born when the fusion between a Murakumo Unit and Azure Grimoire fails. Azrue Grimoire: Also known as the Original Grimoire. An imitation of BlazBlue. It's purpose is to temper a power to combat the Master Unit. Ragna's grimoire is his right arm which is the corpse of the Black Beast. It's broken and is always draining life-force. Ragna went trough a lot of training with Jubei to prevent it from draining as much as possible. Murakumo Unit: Anti-sankishin core unit. So it was likely that the azure grimoire is supposed to temper the Murakumo Unit into something that have simillar power to that of Kusanagi. However since Noel could temper herself, she didn't need the Azure Grimoire and thus could become Kusanagi on her own. Izanami doesn't really want the Black Beast, she only think it is convenient to kill all the "Qualified Ones" now that she can't touch the Master Unit thanks to Tsukiyomi Unit.

What's known is: Embryo is written with the Kanji 蒼の胚(Embryo of Azure). Hinata is Code: Embryo, and the Embryo was tempered in her. Unomaru made a big deal about Hinata being gone so she must be important when creating Embryo. Also in Blazblue universe, Code is another name for Grimoires so Code: Embryo could be read as "the Grimoire of Embryo". Embryo can only be tempered using "Soul Eater". The embryo was tempered inside of Hinata and would later be transferred to Es. This is event is known as 蒼の継承(succession of the Azure). In the end if BBCP Izanami told Take-mikazuchi to do it's original purpose and made it into a big black and red orb. This orb is called Embryo by both Rachel and Izanami. Since the Take-mikazuchi is very similar to that of the Black Beast, it might actually be a Cauldron in it's orb mode and is currently tempering a new Embryo.

Nothing much, really, that's why I'm adding a if whenever I'm making speculation about it. Terumi was talking about the lost Embryo (Only Touya, Kuon, Sechs, Mei, Es, Unomaru should know that it was finished and disappeared). Unomaru was the one who made the Prime Field and thus should be able to provide Relius with data about them (While it is believed that Relius made the 0th prime field, the truth about it is not known). Unomaru was successful with creating a imitation crystal (could have been the Azure Grimoire). He is an asshole, look down on the prime field as they where only dolls. Refers even Hinata as "it" during the bad ending. What the embryo in BBCP really is isn't known. It can even be a new one that Izanami is creating using Take-mikazuchi.

I would only think that Touya would be incarnated (the whole thing with the only way for him to atone his sin is to continue to live), If Unomaru is Terumi it's hard to call that incarnation since he seems to still have all his memories.

Soul Transfer, Reincarnation, in the end they are the same thing. Since in Blazblue universe there seems to be two places the Memories is stored, in the brain and in the soul.

No, here is what I translated earlier from the Japanese version about the whole thing: Terumi: That is "Kusanagi"! Not Noel or anything else, it's only a Doll. The same as you Ragna. A created doll. Ragna: ... you Bastard. Terumi: hmm? Those eyes, so you already knew. It's probably that cat that taught you, how boring. and Mu: I´m, I´m, I´m not a human being... Doll, Doll Ragna: Quite! Not a Human being? What about it! I have also an created body! I don't even know whose soul it is! However I'm a person, an human being!!

Could Ragna and Touya be the same? Hard to say since I have no idea how connected the Xblaze and Blazblue are supposed to be. However Touya saying things like that at the end of the future he is going to meet Es again, and the line in the lyrics of the Ending theme "TRUTH": "Even if ours time of departure disappears. As long as we desire for a future we will meet again" could hint that Touya will be reincarnated. The whole thing about the name for Grimoire of Origin. I believe it was changed to Origin(原初) instead of "Original Book"(原書) so that they were similar but not the same so it would lead to discussion. Another reason for Origin could be simply that it is a grimoire that comes from the "Age of Origin"(原初の時代) that Nine mentioned in the Phase Shift series. Sechs having the same Voice actor as Ragna could be because of the fact that they were from the same series of artificial humans, and it's not said whatever Sechs hair has always been white. Acht I have a feeling is completely unrelated to Ragna. Saya I would believe is 1st prime field (thanks to this image:http://i.imgur.com/9oCSxHi.jpg). And if Izanami is the priestess of Azure, the blood of Amanohokosaka was used by Unomaru in the Es project so the prime fields could be somewhat similar to the Priestess of Azure on a biology level and thus become a fine vessel for her.

No, she is together with Carl and Relius (and Arakune?). Relius has lost all his willpower and his going to at least keep his promise with Carl and teach Carl his knowledge so that Carl can restore/rebuild Ada, and Litchi only went with them.
