No, all battle's after the one with Azrael you can use all of Ragna's moves.

Yeah, but what I mean is that while Amaterasu is the Master Unit it doesn't mean that the Master Unit is Amaterasu. Master Unit could have become Amaterasu Unit later.

Also, Rachel in the past only acts like Rachel in the future when she is near the boundary. It could be that she gains the memory from the other loops when sleeping.

One thing that is interesting with Xblaze is that Hinata and Es could rebuild the world, that would be impossible if Amaterasu existed. And as I wrote, only Master Unit is mentioned, not once is Amaterasu Unit said.

To gain Knowledge and regain lost power is what is said. What it truly means, I dunno.

What's known is Jubei was chasing Relius and searching for Relius workshop, he found three children in a laboratory, and he was covered in wounds when he left the children in Sisters care. So the children "might" have some connections with Relius since Jubei found them while searching for him.

It's nothing that really bothers me much, but I was simply wondering if the "God of Calamity" was also a Murakumo+Azure Grimoire or if the Black Beast in Blazblue was simply an imitation made out of a part of the God of Calamity. About the emblem in the Xblaze trailer (https://i.imgur.com/ELVnnuz.jpg), I was looking at the emblem for Hinata (https://i.imgur.com/R8w5WJn.jpg) and thought it maybe was Hinata's with the "wings" spread out with Murakumo blades added on. It might be Es' emblem. Also, It's interesting that the bottom part of both emblems have similar "twin birds" as Blazblue's emblem.

Still, is this these two the same Black Beast? they are so different... One look more organic and the other looks more like energy life form... Xblaze:http://i.imgur.com/PwjvKRL.png BlazBlue: http://i.imgur.com/KWxAy5P.png

Actually I don't think that Izanami possessed the Priestess of Azure. I believe more that she was the Priestess of Azure. It would explain why she speaks so old fashioned. Also the reason why she isn't using magic, she would be using Onmyou jutsu. Her reason for knowing so much about the azure, and being able to make the grimoire go berserk. The whole part of her by accident letting out the Black Beast and later seal it up could be have been edited and in reality she let the Black Beast out on purpose and got sealed into the boundary by Izanagi. But there is no use to speculate really, there is to little info.

He talked trough the Crystal, it wasn't like that he talked with what was inside the crystal.

Yeah, might be possible it was Izanami that made Sechs go "Crazy". Terumi might be involved since as I said the TGS trailer had the word スサノオ(susanoo) but I'm not sure about that.

Well, Touya needs to go Ishana and learn more about Sechs past and his connection with Sechs(why did Hinata mistake Sechs for Touya, Why did Touya get unconscious when seeing Sechs for the first time, Why did Sechs have a similar personality to that of Touya in the past) and beat the crap out of the corrupt part of Magic Guild and learn why the Magic Guild helped Takamagahara.

Here is the emblem I'm talking about, It is that of an Murkumo Unit, but I don't think that I have seen it somewhere else: http://i.imgur.com/ELVnnuz.jpg

There is nothing said about Xblaze 2, but there is many unanswered questions left, and the emblem in the TGS trailer never appeared, neither did Susanoo which had that word in the trailer.

The biggest question I wonder about Ragna's "Blood Kain" is if he is using it or if he is releasing it. When Mei used Blood Kain(血契封, Blood Vow Seal) in her ending she did it to prevent the Touya's grimoire from going berserk so she straight up sealed it.

That not the only similarity. In the Xblaze opening, Touya had his sword behind his back while running which always struck me as weird. http://i.imgur.com/F08HlvG.jpg

I translated the ending of Xblaze(it's long, it was 1 and a half episode...), not the epilogue though. If there is some strong connections to Blazblue it would be here. Touya: Even though there is no one here there is electricity, and compared to outside it's quite clean. Es: Be on look out. There is no living thing here, but we mustn't be careless. There is a high chance that there is something waiting for us ahead. Currently, the only one who knows everything about this laboratory is Unomaru Shouichirou. There must be some kind of countermeasure. Touya: But we have come quite deep into but nothing have happened? Es: True, we have already passed 38 places with a total of 53 security devices, but they all were deactivated. Touya: There was that many!? But they were deactivated, I wonder why. Es: Something unexpected happened, or he wants us to proceed. If it is the former it might have something to do with Sechs of the Ten Saints. If it is the later... This might be a trap. Touya: … What ever it is, we have no choice but to go on. Es: Es. However please be cautious. Touya: Yeah, I know. Es, is it something there? Es: Currently, I can't detect anything. Touya: Okay... However, it is to quiet. Es: Touya!! Please stop. ???: … Touya: That's!? … she looks exactly like Es. Es: There is no feeling of it attacking, but be cautious. That is probably... Like me, a artificial made living being. Touya: But before, you said there was no living thing here... Es: Unlike me that are made out of mostly organic substance she is made out of inorganic substance. That is why I couldn't detect her. Touya: Then... It's like she is a... !? Unomaru: Test, test... ah,ah. This is a mic test, ah,ah. Touya: … this voice... Unomaru-san!! Unomaru: You could hear me. Well, it was a long time since we met, Kagari-kun. I'm grateful that you come here. I will greet you from the bottom of my heart. Touya: Where are you!? Unomaru: A little bit further in there is a big elevator. At the bottom floor using that elevator. I think it was 666 meter bellow the ground wasn't it? It's quite deep you know. Touya: Are you really planning to create Embryo, Unomaru-san!? Unomaru: Oh, about that? If you come here I will tell you. so will you come? I said it before that I will greet you. Only Kagari-kun though. Touya: Only me...? What do you mean with that!? Unomaru: As always are you slow in the head. Isn't it obvious. The poorly made, bugged old type isn't needed. Es: … Touya: Old type... Are you talking about Es!? Unomaru: You know, I really didn't want to see the old type. Even if I would retrieve Murakumo, afterwards I wanted to leave it as scrap. Thanks to that annoying anachronistic priestess... Touya: Are you really seeing Es only like that!? Unomaru: … Isn't it obvious? A toy(doll) that won't move like one want aint neither cute nor fun. About the new type that is standing in front of you. By using the mistakes I did I have made it to only listen to my orders, so you don't have to be worried. Thanks to my successful development of Phenomenon Mechanism by imitating the crystal, I was able to smartly solve the reason for the bug. And whats even more amazing is that I have stored it's memory in another place so even if there is two bodies it can share the conscious. So even if it is destroyed, as long as you prepare a new body there is no need for relearning it. Isn't it quite wonderful technology? Touya: Why don't you shut up!! I don't want to hear about that! Unomaru: Oh, is that so? Well then I will continue to talk on then. It's not like I expect you to understand it anyway. Well as you heard Es-N(nu), get rid of the old type and restrain Kagari-kun. I'm busy preparing the “tempering of the Embryo”. Es-N: Affirmative. Activating movement number 13. Touya: Tempering!? Wait a moment!? Unomaru: What's this? I can hear some static. Ah, I must have imagined it. Es-N: Target Recognized Touya: Es!! Run! Es: !! Touya: Ha... Ha... It looks like... We was able to run away from her. Es: She knows our position. She will be here soon. Touya: If only I could use the Grimoire like I did earlier... Es: I will fight her. Touya, you go ahead. Touya: ...But! Es: … Touya. Touya: ? Es: I have until now annihilated a lot of Union(D-Progressors). Touya: What's the matter suddenly? Es: Please, listen. Touya: … Es: Restraining Union(D-Progressors), and if necessary annihilate them. Only a bit before, I had no questions about it. Touya: … Es. Why, are you talking about it now. Es: … Because I realized. If it once lost it will never come back, irreplaceable “thing”. During a fight, a “thing” that might be lost for all eternity. “That” is currently, in front of me... Something that has for sure existed. … The me of the past have stolen many “thats” is the truth. Touya. I am carrying so much sin that it can't be atoned. … But even though that is the case, I want to protect you. Touya: Es … I... Es: I am fine. So, please go ahead. Es-N: Capturing Target. Es: Touya! The enemy is coming. Hurry! Touya: …! However, be sure to come after! Es: Yes, I promise. … Es-N: Target confirmed as same. Es: No, You and I are not the same. However... Es-N: Target's fighting pattern is decided to be type 1. Trace possible. Es: Can it be, my fighting data...!? Es-N: Starting elimination. Es: I'm sorry Touya. It looks like I will be a little late. Touya: The door is open. At the bottom of this elevator... If I go there, will Unomaru be there...? Kuon, Mei... Es. I'm a bit relived that I left them behind. … Because if something happens they won be caught up into it. Unomaru-san. … I will stop you for sure. Es: … My attack patterns is perfectly traced. I have to think. How will I be able to get out of this situation... … I, an action I have never made. A me that she doesn't yet know of. She is tracing my movement. … Then I have to read further ahead. … And if she can read it, I have to read even further ahead. I understand it. What you is, and … what I is. Es-N:Obstacle occurred. Unknown attack pattern. Emergency. System stopped. Movement unable. Es: … Es-N: Error. Dodge unable. Es: … I will go ahead. Touya: !? … this is! To think that this kind of space existed under Wadatsumi Laboratory... Unomaru: … Welcome Kagari-kun! To the T-system's core room!! Touya: Unomaru-san!! Those at you side is...! Unomaru: Aa, I have actually already made 8 units. There is one more in construction. Unlike the old type, these can you mass produce so I am testing it currently. I have sent some reinforcement toward the old type, I think they will arrive there soon. Touya: Wha... Then, Es is...!? I must go back!! Unomaru: Too bad, I have already locked the door. Touya: Shit!! Unomaru: Why don't you calm down a little Kagari-kun. Do you want some tea? You know I also have a private room down here. To think you would come here on you own, I'm truly thankful! Touya: On my own...!? What does that mean!? Unomaru: I was planning to call you here from the first place, Kagari-kun. It must be the way of how I act normally that made it so. Really, I'm really glad to meet you like this without having to do much. Touya: Unomaru-san! I haven't come to talk with you! I have come to prevent you to temper Embryo! Unomaru: Ha? Where is the need to stop it? If the T-system is complete humanity will go from half eternity like to prosperity, you know? If you leave it like it is, it wont even take a century for humanity to perish. Do you know what is needed for it to happen? Touya: If everyone work together then... Unomaru: Haha!? Here it is, here it is, you said it. With the cause for this problem, you think that with that it would be solved? Through out the world there is something near 100 000 000 that is starving. And something near that there is people with problem of obesity. This is one way of saying that there is balance, however do you really think that's right? How do you think you could solve this? Touya: That's, If you have some food over, then giving them to the starving... Unomaru: Well, ain't that obvious. However if you do that what would happen? Kagari-kun, this is the important point. Touya: Eh, if there is food, everyone would be happy... Unomaru: That's true, while eating everyone is happy. But the problem is after, the whole humanity has to pay the bill. See, there is some that feed the things(animals) that have been thrown away, right? If no one takes care of it, they only keeps increesing right? Just like that the entire planet will be filled with humans and there wont be enough food. And after that they will start to steal from each other, and war will start. Wars have both it's good and bad parts, however the risk of humanities annihilation is too high. Someone must control it. The reason why the T-system was started to be developed was because of this. Well, there is also the fact that I truly hate conflict. If it is possible I want to avoid it. I think it was... when I was 14. My father said he was busy with work and was never at home... Because of that whenever he met with my mother they argued harshly. On one “peace full” day, an incident happened. Mother killed father, and after that she took suicide. I saw that from the beginning to the end, I thought it was so ridiculous. I could stop my laughing. You, see after all that fighting, it ended with both of them dead. Can you think of anymore needless conflict? I'm trying to remove all the needless fighting, and lead humanity to proper flourishing. Why are you trying to stop me I wonder? Kagari-kun. I think I'm several hundreds times better then those who shouts “Foolish Humans!” and do nothing. Well, I would hate to be compared to them. Touya: … Unomaru-san. What you are saying might be right. Unomaru: Right!? If it continues like this it is... Touya: However!! I still think it is wrong to change peoples will. Not to be able to think anything... that's scary. Unomaru: … With that mother you get this kind of child I guess you could say. Touya: Mother!? … What do you mean with that!? Unomaru: Your mother was always against the development of T-system. She said “A system that steals peoples will is not good”. After the incident I investigated here and I found out that when the tempering started she activated the force stop program. What do you think happened? The “failure” that you know so well. It was suppoused to be a much lager scale. The black storm was supposed to cover the entire Shinyokosaki city... but instead it covered only the Closed Zone. Touya: Wha... what!? Unomaru: Also the Black Storm vanished and spread all over the world. I really got depressed when I learned it. The “base” of the tempering was lost after all. Yes, I fell into despair when all the information of Embryo was vanished. The Embryo who can use the power of god, “Phenomenon Intervention”. So I gave up and tried to find other methods and started to collect the crystals. I'm really glad that I met you! You've saved me a lot of time! However if I didn't fail the T-system would be running by now, and I didn't have to do this troublesome work, you know? As a small revenge I edited the file and made you mother as responsible for it, but I didn't get one bit relived. Touya: … What did you say!? Stop fucking around!! Mother tried to protect everyone in this city! What you are saying is messed up!! Unomaru: Hahaha! Those words, I return them straight back to you. What should I say, “and that's nothing you should say”? Touya: What are you trying to say!? Unomaru: The reason for why you were here 10 years ago. Touya. The reason why I was here...? Unomaru: The true form of the Black Storm was a super highly condensed crystal of seithr. Did you know that? You know, that is the “Grimoire of Origin” that you possesses. At the time, it was a extremely valuable OOPARTS given to Takamagahara(Information Observer Research and Development Organization) from Magic Guild who was in a cooperative relationship. … Why does you currently have it. That is the hint. Touya: !? The true form of the Black Storm was the Grimoire of Origin? And I have that...? Unomaru: Well it doesn't matter. Shall we start the tempering of the embryo? Touya: What are you saying!? I came here to stop it! Unomaru: Fufu... Fuhahahaha!! AHAHAHAHA! It's the opposite, Kagari-kun. If you didn't come, I couldn't temper the Embryo. Touya: What do you mean...? Unomaru: You will soon understand. Es-N(nu)!! Release Kagari-kun's grimoire!! Es-N: Roger. Touya: Uwaaa!! Guha!! It hurts... uh... I can't feel any strength!? Unomaru: Off course that is how it is. In Es-N(nu)'s weapons I have worked in the blood of the pristess of Amanohokosaka. So they can control the current of seithr. While their power is less then that of a Legacy Weapon it does have its functionallity. We can control the grimoire no matter what you think. Touya: Uh... St... Stop!! Unomaru: It's time for today's Main Event! The tempering of the Embryo!! Soon, Kagari-kun. My dream will be fulfilled. A perfectly wonderful controlled world!! Fuhahahaha!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Unomaru: Look up Kagari-kun! That is “Code: Embryo”! Touya: !!! !! Th...at's... Wh,y...!? … It's a lie...!! Hi...nata!? HinataaaAA!! Unomaru: Hahahaha! Yes, continue on! That's perfect! You make it easier for me if you release the grimoire on your own! Touya: Why is Hinata!? I don't understand it!! Why!? Unomaru: When I learned the truth I thought I would fall out of the chair. It looks like we were fooled. The Himezuru family that you freeloads with, there was no younger sister. During the incident, someone carried out Embryo and rewrote documents and left it in the care of Yuki Himezuru. You know, I was truly fooled. I don't know who did it or why... However it doesn't matter. Since the T-system will be complete here and now!! Touya: UwaaaAAAA!! Unomaru: Raise the power more! Es-N: Roger. Boundary connection depth. Plus 42. Touya: UgguaaaAAA!! Unomaru: Kagari-kun! All the crystals that I have been collecting is on the top of the core! Consume all the seithr!! And pour it into the Embryo! Touya: UaaaAAA!! Unomaru: Open your eyes! Awaken, Embryo!! HAHAHA! Yes... with this my dream is fulfilled! Humanity will flourish for eternity!! Gate of Sheol! Release that seal, and give me that power! Unomaru: Ahahahaha!! I did it!! It's finally... It's finally here! This moment... Even though thanks to this shitty brat's mother I haven taken quite a detour! Touya: Ugh... Sto..p. Unomaru: Fuhaha!! I have only to go to the control room and start up the T-system... With that done, everything will go as I wish! I shall hurry up, It wouldn't be good to have the gate open. It would be a big trouble if humanity disappeared before the system is complete. But you know, how a good feeling this is! I feel that I can now do whatever I want!? No, I can do whatever I want!! No matter who it is I can crush them like an ant, or I can increase them like rats... It's wonderful, It's too wonderful!! Ahahahahaha!! Ahahahahaha... Ghua! … What happe...ned? Geho... ue... What's, this? What... happened to me... Touya: … Tha,t's... Sec..hs!? Sechs: The time has come. Unomaru: Sechs of … the ten saints!? Why... are coming at this time of point!! It hurts, This much blood... Shit! Why, Why!? I won't accept it!! Es-N(nu)!! Kill this annoying man!! With your weapons, you should be able to make him powerless! Es-N: Roger. Sechs: … It's useless. Unomaru: W... Why... This is absurd... everyone... was defeated... Sechs: … So this is the “complete” Embryo. Unomaru: … Wait... w, what are you... Uu... Shit... I can't see... I... will not... lose.. against someone like you... Touya: Look out...! Unomaru: against someone like you... UwaAAAAAA!! Sechs: Foolish snake... return to the seithr in the boundary. Touya: … Sechs: Embryo. With the power of Kusanagi, I will make an intervention on your soul. Touya: Sechs...! What are you doing to Hinata!? Stop!! Sechs: … Hinata: Where is this. It's pitch black, I can't see anything... And... I have a bad feeling. What!? What happened? It's scary! ! This, I... know this? Black, Storm!? No... No! Someone save me! ???: … Hinata: Ah! … Is someone there? ???: … Hinata: Could it be, Tou...ya,-chan? ???: … Hinata: Touya-chan!? It's Touya-chan, right!? ???: … Hinata: … A storm came, I, was very scared. And then... ???: … Hinata: … Touya-chan? ???: … Embryo. Hinata: … Em...bryo? ???: Your role is over. Hinata: … Ah... To,uya...-chan? … Why... Sechs: Your soul is sealed. … Now the useless Phenomenon Intervention won't happen. Return, Kusanagi. Es: That's Hinata... and, What is Sechs doing... To many unexpected things is happening I cant make sense of the situation. Touya: … Ku... Es. You came... Es: Touya! Hang on, what happened? Touya: Hinata was the embryo... Es: Hinata was...!? Touya: Aa. Hinata is going to be killed by Sechs... Unomaru was killed... I ask you, Es... Save, Hinata... Es: I will save Hinata. … Touya, rest for a moment. Sechs! Get away from Hinata! Sechs: … the doll. If you are planning to get in my way... I will destroy you as well. Es: Aa!! Touya: Es! Es: … Ku...! Even if he is an ten saint, I cant believe it. Why is a raw human this strong... Sechs: The cause and effect of the distorted phenomenon. And the “power” of Kusanagi. Es: The distorted phenomenon, and Kusanagi...? Sechs: … you don't have to understand it. For the sake of the world that I desire I must destroy Embryo. … If you get in my way, I will only get rid of you. Touya: … Don't talk... bull...shit. Es: Touya, don't force yourself! Sechs: With the Embryo destroyed, the boundary will forever be released. Touya: … Get, away from... Hinata... Sechs: … the world will be covered in seithr, and all souls will probably melt together. Touya: Stop...! Sechs: Pierce, Kusanagi. Touya: STOOOOP! UwaAAAAAAA!! … Hinata... Hinata, fell into the boundary... Es: It can't be... Touya: Hinata... wait for me... I'll, … save you now. Es: Touya! It's dangerous! Touya: Don't stop me! I'll... save Hinata...! Sechs: … Kagari Touya. Let's return your soul to the seithr as well. Mow him down, Kusanagi Touya: GuaAAAA!! Es: Touya!! Touya! Touya!! Touya: … Es: Please... responde! Sechs: You're in the way, doll. Es: …! Sechs: Roar, Kusanagi. ???: Haaaaa!! Kuon: … Ha... Don't forget about us. Mei: … ha... ha... It was dangerous for you, right... Es. Es: Kuon! Mei!! Sechs: … It's useless. What can you do with that tired condition. Mei: … It's frustrating... But I can barely stand. Kuon: … Don't give up! We must defeat Sechs... here! Mei: You're as positive as always... Fine, I will follow you straight into hell! Kuon: … Thank you, Mei! Sechs: Wail, Kusanagi. Mei: What...!! It's... too fast...! … Kuon: … Mei! Es: Kuon, Look out!! Kuon: … Es: Kuon! Mei!! Sechs: … how foolish. Doll, you're next. Es: … Sechs: Mow down, Kusanagi. Es: The Murakumo is...! Sechs: … Es: … Sechs: How interesting. That you are afraid of “death”. Doll... No, “Incomplete” person. Fall into the boundary and return to seithr. Es: Tou...ya... Touya: …! Ripper: Seriously, sucks to be you. Touya: Ripper!! You again! Release me from here! I have to save Hinata!! Ripper: You know, that's least of your problems? Touya: Stop talking bullshit!! What are you talking about!? Ripper: Oi oi, I'm always serious you know? Hyahahaha! Touya: Ku! I don't have time to be talking with you! I must hurry and save Hinata! Shit! Why is this happening...! Ripper: Hyahahahaha! That's good, just like that. Become more angry. If you continue to be weak, you know you are going to get eaten, right? That four-eyes, those type of people are the first one to get eaten! Don't you think so as well TOUYA-chan? Touya: Shut up! I doesn't matte how, let me out of here!! Ripper: … It's easy to get out. All you have to do is to accept it. Touya: Accept What!? Ripper: “To consume everything” Touya: To consume... everything!? Ripper: It's the rule of this world? The strong ones eat, the weak ones gets eaten. Have you already forgotten? … You have already accpete “half” of it. Touya: … Are you telling me to kill. Ripper: Hyahahaha!! To accept death and sleep peacefully... or carry sin, and living in pain. The one to decide is no one else than you. KAGARI TOUYA... Touya: … to carry sin? Ripper: If you're slow, you will go berserk “again” you know? And if that happens, you will destroy everything yourself. Hyahahaha! But that is also interesting, right!? Touya: … Ripper!! Ripper: ...ah? Touya: I have decided. Ripper: … Touya: I want to protect those dear to me. … Even if that means to carry many sins. Ripper: … Hyahaha! Hyaaahahaha!! ???: … Touya: !? … You are!? But, that can't be... ???: Call my name. Touya: … you're name? ???: Call my name. Mine, and also yours. Touya: ...Kagari... Touya. ???: That's right, Kagari Touya. … the Grimoire of Origin. It's arbitrator. That's me Touya: Wha!? But, I'm also Kagari Touya!? Arbitrator: I guess you could say, I'm you and You're me. Touya: I don't understand it!? Arbitrator: … A piece of the calamity beast that consumes all souls. That is the Grimoire of Origin. If one want to use it, A strong will that fits with it is needed. Touya: A strong will...? Arbitrator: That's right. If you try to use it with force, you will stop begin you. It have happened once right? It was probably then I was born. I don't really know the real reason. Was it because you drained the irregular seithr from Ripper, or is it some kind of self defense mechanism... However, it doesn't matter what the reason is. Touya: Why? Arbitrator: Yuki-nee says it often doesn't she? Don't get so hung up on the details. Touya: … Arbitrator: … Kagari Touya. I will teach you some specail words. Touya: Special words...? Arbitrator: “Code: Soul Eater Activate, XBLAZE(Awakening Release)” When you are in need of the power of the Grimoire, incarnate these words. When you do it, you can use it's power whenever you want. Your enemy is strong... This power might not be enough. But never give up. There is a way for sure... You have that power(will). Good Luck... Kagari Touya. Touya: … Kuon! Mei!! … Where is Es!? Sechs: … Kagari Touya. Touya: Sechs! Where is Es!? Sechs: … That doll have returned to the seithr. Touya: It can't be!? Es as well!? Sechs: … Touya: Why!! Why can you kill so easily!? Sechs: … Touya: Give everyone back...! Sechs: No problem. … you will soon become seithr, and melt together in the boundary. Touya: T...hat's.... Sechs: … Accept the never ending sleep. Kagari Touya. Touya: Ku...! ???(Es): Don't give up... Touya: !? ???(Es): Incarnate it. Those words... Touya: Words... … Thank you Es. Lend me your sword. Code: Soul Eater Activate! Sechs: What...? Touya: XBLAZE(Awakening Release) Es: … This is the boundary... I'm... … my conscious... this, mass of seithr... I must keep a strong will, or I will be swallowed... ???: … Es-chan...? Es: This voice... ???: Es... Chan... Es: Hinata!? Hinata: Es-chan... are you there...? Es: Hinata... could it be, your body... Hinata: Yeah... I'm sorry. I, can no longer... cook food. Es: … Hinata: About everyone, about Touya-chan... I can no longer return it to how it was... It looks like I must have a body. … I'm sorry, Es-chan. Es: Hinata... I as well... can no longer protect Touya... Hinata: That's wrong. Es-chan... I, have understood everything. Es: …? Hinata: I can give... Es-chan my “feelings”... Es: Hinata's... feelings? Hinata: Yeah. If I hand it over... Everyone could be able to be saved. … However, if I do it, then Es-chan will no longer... Es: Hinata. I want to protect Touya. That's my only wish... That's why Hinata... I will succeed your feelings. Hinata: Es-chan... Es: … Hinata: … Es-chan, close your eyes. And think strongly about me. Es: Hinata... Hinata: Es-chan... Es: … Hinata: … … It looks like it is over. Es: This is Embryo... why could I? Hinata: … that is thanks to … Unomaru-san. Es: … Hinata: Embryo Storage... that is your true name. Es: Embryo Storage. … Embryo's Vessel. Hinata: … I'm sorry Es-chan Es: No, Hinata. … This is what I chose with my own will. Hinata: Thank you, Es-chan. Es: … Farewell, Hinata. Hinata: Es-chan, I ask of you. Touch the Source of the Azure, Master Unit... If you do it... You will understand everything... Save, Touya-chan... Es: Source of the Azure, Master Unit...? !? This is a Discover Call... … From the bottom of the boundary...? It can't be... but... This is... … Source of... the Azure? If I touch the Source of the Azure, I will understand everything... … Touya. Touya: Sechs... I'll, stop you. Sechs: … pierce, Kusanagi. … … Roar, Kusanagi. Touya: … Ha... Ha... Sechs: … I see. However, with only that you won't be able to give me even a scratch. Touya: What...!? Sechs: Veil, Kusanagi. Mow down, Kusanagi. Touya: Shit!! Sechs: … It's useless. Touya: Ku... uh... Sechs: … With this world that have been recreated several times, All of that power has been collected into me. No matter how good you have become with the control over the Grimoire, with “only” the current you can't win. Touya: … Several times? … What do you mean!? Es: Touya... Touya: Es!? Es: … Please come, Touya. Touya: What's happening!? Uwaaaaa!! Es: Touya... Touya: Es!? Was it Es that did this!? Where is this!? Where's Hinata? And those eyes are... azure... Es: Touya. Please calm down. I have succeeded the Embryo from Hinata. … This closed space, is made by that power. Touya: Es have the embryo... Then, Hinata is!? Es: Don't worry. Hinata is home sleeping. She doesn't remember that she was the Embryo. Touya: You can do that!? Es: Yes. … I can return it to the peaceful days when nothing has happened. Touya: The peaceful days...? Es: … This is Phenomenon Intervention. A small part of the almighty and all knowing power known as Azure.. It is a power with no bounds but it doesn't work on Sechs. Touya: Why...? Es: It because Sechas has Kusanagi. Touya: Kusanagi... Es: It can seal the Power of God... “Phenomenon Intervention”. That is the power of Kusanagi. Even if I would rebuild the world, Sechs would recognize it. … And if he recognize it he will surely take the same actions. Touya: That's... Es: Touya. The world has already been recreated several times. … By Hinatas “incomplete” Phenomenon Intervention. The same way as Touya's grimoire has gone berserk so has Hinata. To protect Touya, to protect us, she has recreated the world over and over again to the peaceful days. However, every time the world's recreation has been looped more and more distortion has been born. Sechs is using that power. … this is the reason why Sechs is so powerfull. It is an phenomenon born from him having Kusanagi... Everything is going according to Sechs scenario. Touya: … There was nothing I could do towards Sechs even when using the power of the grimoire. Es. Isn't there anything I could do... Es: There is something only the current “Kagari Touya” can do, only you. Touya: Only the current... me? Es: … the cause for this phenomenon is the “past” you. If it is the “current” you, you have the power to pass it. Touya: What do I have yo do!? The past that caused this present... I will directly make an intervention to the “starting point phenomenon”. I will now use Phenomenon Intervention on “only” Touya and send you to starting point phenomenon. … There I want you to annihilate a single Union(D-progssesor). Touya: What!? I have to annihilate... a Union...? Es: … Yes. Touya: I have to... a union... Es: Touya... I'm sorry. I don't want to... make you carry the same sin as me. … But this is the only way I could find so we can progress into the future. Touya: … I see. … this is... the sin, I will have to carry. Es, send me to starting point phenomenon. Es: Is it okay? Touya: Yeah. This... is only what the current me can do, right? Es: … Yes. It has to be the “current” “Kagari Touya”. Touya: Than I have to do it. Es: Roger. If you fail, we will never be able to make an intervention to this phenomenon again. Decide it with one strike. Touya: Roger. This is the starting point phenomenon...? I wonder when it is. !! … so that is how it is. Sechs: You are... Touya: … Sechs: … Touya: … Sechs: Wh...at... … Kagari...Tou,ya. Touya: … … I can still feel it. The feeling of cutting the crystal. Es... was always, having this feeling... Es: Welcome back, Touya. Touya: I'm back, Es. Es: … The present Sechs has fallen and disappeared into the boundary. The distortions of the past is collected, and the world is heading towards the future. Touya: … Was I able to protect. Es: Yes. Touya was able to protect. … My feelings. Touya: … Well then, lets go home, Es. Es: … Touya: Whats the matter? Es: … Touya. I won't return. Touya: What are you saying Es. Let's go back together! Es: No. If I go back, another new distorted phenomenon will occur. Touya: What do you mean!? Es! Explain it properly!! Es: … when I touched the source of the Azure I understood it. The embryo is... this worlds enemy. An irregular existence. If I return to the world another distortion will happen. If that is a good phenomenon or a bad phenomenon I don't know. ...However It mustn't exist. Touya: That's... This can't be... Es: … this is our farewell. Touya: Wait up, Es! … I, I don't want you to go! Es: … Touya. Touya: I.. I want to always be with you... Es: … Touya: … Es... Es: … It's all right. When you wake up... you will have forgotten everything about me. Touya: I don't want that! Es!! Wait!! Es: Farewell... My precious person. Touya: Es!!

Something between translation and Summary. Scarlet Rose In a never ending night there was a full moon. Bellow that full moon there was a never ending rose garden with a castle inside it, the Alucard Castle. In one of the rooms of the castle there slept a girl with blond hair and white skin. She was in deep sleep and have been sleeping for several tens of years. She did it to retrieve her powers that she has lost, to gain knowledge and more importantly to be prepared for what is coming. Some might believe that she would never wake up again, however that is only until today. The girl opened her eyelids and with her lips she called. “... Valkenhayn.” Valkenhayn had never leaved Rachel sides and have been protecting her during these severel tens of years while she had been in sleep. And more then anyone else have been waiting for this day. Valkenhayn: How are you feeling, Rachel-sama? Rachel: Not bad. I'm not clear in the head yet though. Valkenhayn: I will come with some tea later. Rachel: Yes, do that. You have grown a little older. Valkenhayn. Valkenhayn: It is a little embarrassing. It's due to that more then a half century have passed while you have been resting, Rachel-sama. It wasn't only Valkenhayn that had changed. When Rachel went to sleep was directly after the end if the Dark war. And after that the world has lost much, gained much, killed many, given birth to many. The world has lost order. But it was given a new order instead. Rachel: ... is that so. I have made you feel some harsh experience, Valkenhayn Valkenhayn shook his head. Valkenhayn: My duty is to protect Rachel-sama ... I have one other thing to tell you We have discovered Relius Clover. Currently, Jubei-dono is running around and searching for him... It looks like he tries to get in touch with the boundary again. Relius Clover, the mad puppeteer. He had a hand with the appearance of the Black Beast and further back in time he had some acquaintance with Rachel's father. To hear is name even in this age was something both Rachel or Valkenhayn could have been anticipating. Or maybe more like something one didn't want to anticipate. Valkenhayn: A little earlier, while searching for Relius workshop Jubei-dono was able to secure three children. The children is currently begin in care in her church... After hearing that Rachel was in an green forest. While Rachel normally could teleport wherever she wanted her destination was covered with an barrier making it impossible to teleport there directly. Therefore she came to the forest and has to walk the rest of the way. It wasn't hard for Rachel to walk since she had control over the wind. (...Oh) While lightly walking in the forest she felt people's presence and heard their voices. There was some distance left to the church. And there is no one living in the forest. So it is easy to guess who it is. It was three children. In the front there was a boy with determination carrying a small girl and behind him there was a tired boy walking. All three had blond hair and green eyes. Together with the children there was an old woman wearing nun clothes. It was the Sister who protected the church where Rachel was heading to. The four of them was searching for something in the forest. The three children that Jubei had secured. How they are, and what kind of existence they are does Rachel already know. Ragna: What's the matter, Saya? Said the boy carrying the girl. The girl was watching towards Rachel but there is no way for her to see Rachel. She only looks there because she is feeling some kind of precense. Soon the boy says that it probably was a rabbit or something and they continue to walk further into the forest. Rachel watched the boy with her crimson eyes and said: Rachel: What kind of conclusion will you show this time. Ragna. Rachel closed her eyes and together with the scent of rose she disappeared. It was enough. All she wanted to confirm was that if all the actors where there. So what left is to wait for the prologue to end and the curtains to be raised. The story will surely once again begin with the sound of the blazing flames.

Isn't that weird Kagura knows so much, he was a disciple to Tenjo who was an Amanohokosaka, so Kagura probably knows very much on how the world works and keeps an eye on everything that revolves around the black beast and boundary.

Noel does have some of Saya's memories, there is hard to deny it. Considering her calling Ragna Nii-sama and Nu speaking about Noel having her family "stolen" from her. A small interesting thing from Xblaze, Es-N(nu) didn't have their memories stored in their bodies but somewhere else so as long as you made a new body they could retrieve the memory to the new body so they didn't have to learn everything from scratch.

He might have learned something, and he did thank Rachel for sending him. But what he learned? I dunno, all he did was protecting Celica until Nirvana cut into Black Beast and picked up Celica. And Killed Nu so that the Black Beast could die and got sent back to present by Rachel.

I have no Idea. He appears only briefly in Phase-shift 3 and 4 and the only thing he did there was protecting Celica and killing Nu. But he was inside of the Black Beast for 3 years (although it felt like much shorter time for Ragna).

Well, Story Maniacs will soon be released (around the end of the month, right?). It could have some answers. Personally I look forward to the updated time line and to see if there is some Xblaze info hidden there.

Isn't "Saya" Terumi's observer, Takamagahara-System said that it would be stupid to get rid of them since they are his observer unless he had awaken "her". Maybe there must be a body who can observe since Izanami needs a vessel. And I would guess killing Terumi's remaining "time" has higher priority then being "Observed". Edit: Oh right, in Xblaze Hinata couldn't use Phenomenon Intervention after she lost her body so I would think having a "body" is important.

Oh, misread what you said. Yeah, if the lynchpin is activated Hazama is useless, but there is no way that the Lynchpin will work over the entire world and that's why they put it in the boundary to prevent more seithr to leak into the world. Wasn't the cauldron in Ibukido the main one, i.e. all other cauldrons was connected to it? If there is some effect from the lynch pin in the real world it would at best be around the area of Ibukido. Also, wasn't it that Ragna would have a chance to "kill" Yuuki Terumi after that they made "Saya" be "annihilated" by the lynchpin?
