Actually about his BlazBlue. The fact is that Ragna hasn't understood the meaning and purpose of his right arm yet, and even Rachel said that although it's a fake, it's not something that simple where it is an evil power that takes things away or something. If you consider the fact BlazBlue is a name taken from Brave, Blaze, and Blue, there has to be another meaning towards its true purpose. For example, BlazBlue might ordinarily look like some kind of evil power but what if there was a condition for the user to achieve in order for BlazBlue to show its true purpose and power? If you consider Rachel's comments about the Azure Grimoire: BlazBlue, then I don't think Ragna's right arm is something simple as an evil power that can turn you into a Black Beast or something. I think there is a hidden meaning or a condition for it which the user must achieve.

Just search Blazblue (In Japanese) and you are good to go...

I don't think it's that simple. And no, there are ways to save Ragna. The possibilities exist and if you consider how many relationships and bonds Ragna has developed with majority of the characters by CP, then it's not surprising they will lend him a hand by saving him from his current condition. Also the fact you have to consider the world's state right now which is corrupt and twisted, which needs to be taken down and system renewed. And the fact that the only way to save the world's current horrible state with everyone being turned into seithr is to help Amaterasu by helping her fulfill the story that she is trying to write, where the "Girl (Monster that devours the entire world)" doesn't get killed and is saved instead. However as you know, "Heroes (Eiyuu)" aren't the ones who will fulfill this duty as they were known to be always the one who killed the girl (The Dark One must be destroyed) = AKA Jin and Hakumen aren't the ones who have the qualifications to help Amaterasu fulfill the story she wants. Rachel I am not too sure if she will die. If she gonna die, Valkenhayn has to die first lol. Certainly she might disappear or something in the end for some reason, who knows. Ragna dying ain't the solution to the current fiasco that's happening in the world. Another fact is how we don't even know why he has the capabilities and potential to become the "Guardian of the Azure", and we don't even know what role it even has. If I had to guess, it is probably someone who saves and protects, hence "Guardian". Ragna may die in the end but there is also the possibility that his soul will be salvaged from his dying body and put into a newly made one for sure (Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel reference anyone?). I mean it would be sad for him to die when he has been saving the world from destruction several times (Dark War, Stopping Kusanagi from killing Amaterasu, etc.). Although he may have to pay for his crimes for killing thousands of NOL soldiers in the past :I

Fact is how tons of fan artists are like shipping Kagura x Noel right now XD

CP Extension... I think the story mode will be pretty much the same except maybe add in more stuff to have it make more sense in a way, but I am not too sure about that. However for the next story game, then yeah I am pretty sure Noel will awaken as Saya and start calling Ragna Nii-sama then Ragna will go "HOLY GOD YOU WERE SAYA NOEL?! WHY DID I NOT SEE THE OBVIOUS OAO?!" Ok jokes aside... first thing first is to free Ragna from his current berserk state somehow and as Zedar said previously, Homura might have that ability since he is of Amanohokosaka lineage although back in XBLAZE, it was said that the bloodline was getting thin that even Mei had less powers compared to her ancestor's prime, so I am not too sure how much 150 years have changed the Amanohokosaka bloodline in terms of ability and power. The other one who may have the ability to free Ragna might be Celica as long as Ragna's Noise Canceller is shut down where Celica's power (Or the Lynchpin's effect in general) works against him again, although I am not too sure if it this method might work. Otherwise it might be just Ragna himself who may have to get over this predicament. Think of it as Ragna overcoming another trial to become stronger. I am more wondering if Mai were to enter the main story if she can have the ability to save Ragna somehow but that will depend on what kind of true ability she has in Remix Heart as not even that's revealed yet. Her currently revealed ability doesn't seem like it has the ability to save Ragna at all as it's a total mismatch.

If only Noel was in there with Kagura :p

The Epilogue had nothing to do with Ragna's soul =_= And Episode 12 = Only had Noel obtaining Mu-12 powers and Ragna going into the rescue Episode 13 = Ragna vs Azrael and Kagura vs Azrael Episode 14 = Makoto + Noel + Jin vs Tsubaki. Ragna only got treated and wished Jin and Noel best of their luck while Rachel told him that she will take him to the Doorway to the Zero and that once he does his future will become decided. Episode 15 = Ragna vs Hazama then he talks to Kagura and Kokonoe about Celica where then Ragna talks to Noel and Jin, then Ragna goes to the cauldron with Celica and Noel then travels back to 2100 AD period. Episode 16 = Ragna comes back from the past then he goes to Kokonoe to talk about Celica again cause she is planning on sacrificing Celica for the lynchpin, Noel calls Ragna Nii-sama and then Ragna, Celica and Noel go to find the lynchpin where he then fights against Bang and such then gets ambushed by Relius, Litchi and Nu. THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT SOMETHING UNKNOWN COMING OUT OF RAGNA AT ALL IN THESE EPISODES. Only thing that was shown in the above episodes were his personal development where he searches for the reason he fights and such. NO UNKNOWN INFLUENCE WAS COMING OUT OF RAGNA AT ALL GET YOUR FACT STRAIGHT.

No it's not............... What basis are you making this off? What Episode?

Although Ragna is confirmed to be artificial human, it doesn't mean that he is a Prime Field. Jin is totally unknown.

Es didn't have the Embryo inside her until Hinata gave it to her. Es didn't have amnesia. She was created by Soichiro. T-system is not confirmed to be Takahamagara.

No Noel on the cover 8D *evil laugh* I did see that illustrations before but didn't think they would choose that one :p

Eh, yeah. Just started since I said that the novels tend to give more detailed information on the Story Mode in a way.

4 months after that, so September. The novels are being released in 4 month interval.

Chronophantasma? They surely will. I mean the story doesn't end in Continuum Shift =_= The second CS novel will be out in 4 days on Jan 18th. Then the CP novel will be out in May.

I am interested in the second part of Continuum Shift a lot.

The next novel to be released is the second Continuum Shift novel. the next two after that will be Chronophantasma.

It's mostly the novel releases that tend to make things more detailed, so I am going to guess we are going to have to wait till the CP novel release if we want more detailed information.

I seriously can't tell what she is thinking right now...

We have been predicting a lot...

So much for her love towards Ragna D:< Glad I was never her fan.

Seriously... just what is Rachel scheming...

Izanami is unconfirmed. It's only speculated that she can negate them.

I just prefer original Japanese...

The thing is though, the common knowledge about Life Link is that the ones who share it needs to get killed at the exact same time or neither of them can die O_o (It's like having to press 2 switches at once instead of pressing 1 by 1) Hakumen definitely can kill Ragna (Hell he was the one who finished off Ragna (Black Beast) during the Dark War). Time Killer can negate Life Link as the time of the victim is totally killed to 0 milliseconds where he/she becomes totally unable to exist at all where regeneration and such is impossible. Well... as the name implies, I am sure Immortal Breaker is pretty much for killing Immortals... Would be weird if it can't kill every type of Immortals when it is called "Immortal Breaker". Izanami is excluded from this though as she is death itself so she is already "dead". Although Ragna never died (Excluding Bad Ends), if you do consider the Life Link he has, he can somewhat fall under the category of Immortal I guess...
