I am lacking information on XBlaze too you know lol

Let me just ask you this: You did play CS right? XD;;

Hmm... might be possible. It really seems like he knew about Ragna, Jin and Noel as a whole mostly. But if the source really was Amanohokosaka, it might make sense. All these mysteries really make me wish the next game came out more faster unlike CS where CP was delayed due to CSII and CSEX =w=; As you said before, seems Homura actually knows stuff too, considering he knew about Izanami, and that he will have a larger role in the next game, as an Amanohokosaka.

Rather than "some", feels like Noel had like majority of it or so except during her smelting, they got erased. But I really wonder why and how Kagura knows something about Noel. Considering she was born in Ibukido, I wonder if that has to do with anything. If that concept from XBlaze has been inherited in Blazblue, then it would make sense that Saya's memories/soul escaped somewhere then moved into Noel during the cloning except it was half-ass done. Only question is how much memories/influence do Noel and Saya's original body actually have each. And the way Jubei treats Noel also looks as if he was treating her as if she was Saya, as Jubei did bring the three siblings to Celica's church. Only question is why Rachel was involved with Noel in the past (as shown in Noel's story mode in CT).

= =;; Plot hole or I have no idea what Mori is thinking... In Episode 14 he was like all "I don't know what the Azure Grimoire truly is and I wonder where the real one is and blah blah blah" then he goes back to the past but he doesn't learn crap... wut... Ah well, looks like the answer will have to wait until Mori covers it in the future game.

You know, as I said in the story discussion thread, right now it is too obvious that Saya's soul like separated from her original body. Like she is still there, in Izanami's body, but it seems that some part of her really did escape into Noel/Mu when she was created. Otherwise the behavior she made in CP and how some of the characters treat her wouldn't make sense. Kagura definitely knows something about Noel. Inb4 Noel, Nu and Saya's original body has to merge to re-create the full Saya = =;;

=___= ok....? Rachel was like if you want to learn the truth you will have to go to the past (Zero) but he didn't learn crap except that Celica is the sacrifice for the Lynchpin...?

I think it was in the CS Material book. Practically saying, he was planning on kicking Ragna out of his main character spot in CP, but he did not, so I was wondering if he just gave up that idea or he delayed it :s Truthfully as I said, I don't want Mori kicking him out of the main character spot = =;; I mean come on, if he was going to kick him out, then why give him so much development? (Although he got forcibly corrupt by Izanami...)

I never read that before. It was only recent that I got more into Blazblue than before. @_@ (Chronophantasma hyped me up more compared to when I tried playing Continuum Shift and Calamity Trigger with my boyfriend) I hope that it has the answer to this question: What happened to Nu after she backstabbed Ragna? This is the most question I want to know =A= After she backstabbed him, she just like moved "right ===>" and disappeared ._. More like I wonder if what Mori said back in CS will seriously come true for the next game. I mean he did say he is planning to kick Ragna out of the main protagonist spot (yet in Chronophantasma, he had Amane talk about Ragna being like the center of the stage and he has a really great light and Ragna did get a lot of attention and allies during the game). I mean sure Mori may have changed his mind afterwards in the planning stage, but still not too sure. I just think it would be best if Ragna stays protagonist till the end. Actually I wonder why Izanami has control over the Beast inside Ragna in the first place... o_o;

Kagura's treatment towards Noel also caught my interest. He acted as if he knew her real identity (I don't mean as Murakumo Unit. He already knows that as seen in his arcade mode). I don't know if he really sees her as a romantic interest (well a lot of fans seems to have started shipping Kagura x Noel *Points to PIXIV*.), but it was as if she is someone very important to her (looking at his reaction when Arakune tried to rape absorb her), and when Ragna and Jin were together, he always tried to have Noel together with them, and he even said "Ganbare yo, Kyoudai! (Good luck siblings!)" at Noel despite Ragna and Jin already having left the area. There is also the fact Noel called Ragna "Nii-sama" in Episode 12 and 16. Noel also saw a flashback of Celica's older form as the Sister in Episode 17, and Noel did say that talking with Ragna feels like she is talking to a family member, and in truth Ragna was reminded of Saya after talking with Noel in Episode 15. Actually I have a question about Phase Shift and Six Heroes Route Ep 3~6. Just what did Ragna "learn" from going there other than the truth about the Kushinada's Lynchpin? I thought he went there to learn about the truth about the Azure Grimoire.

So much questions, not many answers within the game TwT

That's the weird thing. Rachel said "after" they annihilate Izanami's vessel, aka Saya (except only Saya as a vessel will die and Izanami's existence itself won't die =3=), then Terumi would be able to be defeated. But then Kokonoe just like rounded up them whole without saying the order (Pretty much the whole team was rounded up lol). More like why does it matter that if Izanami is defeated then Terumi can be defeated more easily "after"? Is she his observer or something? Also if that was the case, then what was up with the Six Heroes' plan to bring out Terumi from Hazama? I guess it was like a double plan?

We just trying to organize the concept that happened in the story mode as it left a lot of mysterious lol. Even though I thoroughly watched the Story Mode several times, there are just too many things I don't understand as they were never explained neither in CT or CS or this game XD;;

Episode 1 where Rachel told Ragna that if the Lynchpin is used, a chance to kill Terumi may come, and when Kokonoe also talked about it in Episode 15, but she included pretty much the entire Izanami team, saying "when they lynchpin is used, it will be the chance to defeat them"

No she looked like she totally had no consciousness at all as if possessed by something

Wait I get that Hazama can move around even without Seithr, but why did they say if the Lynchpin is activated, Hazama/Terumi would be more easily defeated?

Thought Ragna couldn't use Ars Magus until Kokonoe told him that he can thanks to Noise Canceller, but Hazama doesn't have that.

Sorry. Meant to say he is pretty much weaker now.

You know, considering they do have to use Dimensional Influence to save the right now, I won't be surprised if there is one more time loop except in a good way where everyone remembers everything.

She was just standing there and followed Terumi on her own accord.

Which pretty means Hazama is powerless now.

Seriously wish the Phase Shift novels were fully translated as I lack information about what happened in them in full detail... T.T They were the main reason why I could not put in the summaries about what Ragna did in the Dark War era in detail for his summary for Chronophantasma on the wiki =w=; I blame myself being unable to read all the Kanji TwT

Really we don't know as it was not shown XD;; But as I said, Tsubaki could not use it after the Lynchpin had activated lol. And yes Tsubaki is stupid as she pretty much moved out of rage after seeing Noel and Jin in a really bad state =w=; I am more interested in what Amane said about Ragna when they met. Amane really seems to be another bystander like Rachel but I wonder if there is another special reason why he really wants Carl other than Amane wanting Carl to join his group.

Really, I have no idea as during Episode 18, Makoto and Tsubaki were unable to use any Ars Magus after the Lynchpin hit the Monolith tower, but they still fought (how they fought is not shown but it is presumed they just used ordinary melee). Also the fact the only one who used Ars Magus after the Lynchpin activated was Ragna but that was only thanks to the Noise Canceller according to Kokonoe. I am not even sure if Mu-12/Noel and Jin used any Ars Magus when fighting Ragna :I

Yeah, even after re-watching the story mode several times, I could not really find the right answer to why a Bystander gets weaker if he/she gets too involved. And well, I mean... I thought characters can't really use their Drives and killer moves if there is no seithr to manipulate for it... Which means it would be pure melee. But if there is no seithr to manipulate, doesn't that mean Nox Nyctores can't really be used either? I thought their main engine was seithr. More like what's Bang gonna do now that he doesn't have Phoenix: Rettenjou? XD;; Lynchpin did stop all seithr activity right? So Take-Mikazuchi is getting all the seithr from the people that are turning into seithr?
