Why not just use a scanner then o.o

The question is if Ragna is really the one to become the protector of all the world then. o.o; But right we know he is the only candidate to become the Protector of the Azure. And wait... protect ALL the world..................... Is it just me or this is giving me a Mahou Shoujo Madoka vibe...

Protecting the world is more likely Power of Order, as it exists to keep the current system alive and going, protecting it. Guardian of the Azure's role is unknown.

Probably a deeper meaning. I don't think it is simple as protecting Amaterasu or Noel. I don't think Guardian of the Amaterasu Unit has to do with the main concept of Guardian of the Azure much. It probably has to do with something much more bigger.

The period of time they slept through is different. And it isn't really known if Izanami was sleeping through the entire time till CS since the day she possessed Saya. Due to the way Ikaruga Civil War went, it is possible Izanami was awake at the time.

Not necessarily.

Forgot about Rachel falling asleep after that....

Maybe that was after the Dark War? Or when was this? After Clavis died? On another topic, I seriously think Kagura means it when he asks Noel to become his 8D

The whole concept behind Chronophantasma being not described in detail is somewhat confusing. Like how they even came to existence. Amaterasu might be one of the causes, but considering they are known as Phantom of Time and Those who has gone off from their original future, not too sure.

Hmm.... considering she did tell that "Story" which also did pertain to Chronophantasmas, to Noel and Celica (Although Ragna heard it too), it might hint something. But what I am wondering is if all Chronophantasma (the ones similar to Rachel) are observers or only a few are observers while others still stay as actors.

That's the thing I am confused about Noel. It's a fact that Noel did not exist in some Timeloops. Tsubaki was always the assistant of Jin in those timeloops, and she always died there (Hence why Hazama calls her trash that only knows how to get killed). The thing is how Noel did exist in some timeloops but did not exist in some others. So it's like a pattern somewhat. CT did show several different timeloops where Noel existed except she got killed by various factors (Pissed Jin, Black Beast Ragna, etc.) Did I mention that in the novel, during the time when Noel was getting smelted in Ibukido, she was calling out for her Nii-sama for help? Fact is that Noel lost her memories after Take-Mikazuchi's attack on Ibukido, so it seems that before Take-Mikazuchi's attack she had pretty much remembered everything as Saya.

Posted a speculation on the speculated thread regarding Chronophantasma's term.

Now that I think about it, what is the "World's Eyes" in the first place...? Not sure if this should be taken in as a consideration, but Phantom was shown in Alter Memory before Izanami woke up. However, I doubt Phantom even existed in the day of the tragedy considering that was before Izanami even possessed Saya fully and had her powers at its prime. Pretty sure Phantom was created during the time period between the tragedy's aftermath and before a few years before CT. The day of the tragedy is still shrouded in mystery. That's for sure. Someone who got out of course from the planned future... Wait... doesn't this somehow remind you of the line Rachel said in Episode 14? Rachel told Ragna that if he goes through the Doorway to the Zero and learn the truth/gain the knowledge, his future will become decided. Doesn't this mean if he were to go out of the planned/decided future, he would fall into the same category if he were to do such feat? For example, if Ragna's decided future is death due to the influence of the Azure Grimoire where he will also turn into a Black Beast because of it, but somehow he is able to overcome such situation, wouldn't that count as "go out of course from the planned future"? If this is the case, I think there is a high possibility that he will be able to do this. The World, or to be precise Amaterasu is in need of the Guardian of the Azure. The only candidate to become it is Ragna. This makes me wonder if one of the requirements to become it is to overcome a decided future that's really deadly towards the candidate (Death).

Official Manga Cover's Simple Background illustration, posted on the Manga's illustrator, Yoshioka Sakaki's PIXIV page: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=41114590 Side Note: After visiting the artist's PIXIV page, it seems the artist draws a lot of H-doujins ^^; I can see why the first page of the manga showed Nu in a really sexual situation =w=;

Nope. But Izanami calls Rachel as if she was Tsukuyomi itself by calling her "Tsukuyomi" instead of her name mostly. Rachel is a Chronophantasma but that's pretty much all that's been revealed. But she has lost majority of powers now due to joining the "stage".

In case you guys forgot, Yukianesa was in Seven's possession before. Also Yukianesa never appeared within the church's territory until the day of the tragedy.

If anyone has received their Continuum Shift novel Volume 2 (Blazblue Novel series 4), may I personally request if you can scan and post up the illustrations from that novel at least?

I don't even know any English dubbers or any of their names 8D

If you mean the line where Hakumen says "Hebi yo kisamara wa...", yeah that means "Snake, you lot seem to be..." Azrael just happened to stumble upon Hakumen when Celica met Hakumen, and as Hakumen is one of the Six Heroes, Azrael just challenged him to a fight as he is just another prey. Afterwards Hakumen and Celica just retreat, where Celica uses magic to cause some diversions. As you know from Episode 13 of Chronophantasma, Azrael can't attack anyone without any fighting intent, so he couldn't go after them really. I will have to recheck upon that on her Story Mode as it's been a freaking long time since I had gone playing Noel's story mode. The only thing that was further touched upon about that was by Kagura, where he says that it may be up to Noel in order to have Ragna and Jin make up as brothers, but this doesn't really seem to connect to the "saving Jin", but it may be related. Anyhow, in the end "saving Jin" wasn't really much elaborated on nor was it continued.

Yeah... I don't know about some series but when I used to watch dub all the time before watching original japanese anime, I was dissatisfied of how voice actors sucked... Yeah I love them lol

Hey Zedar, I have a question. In Episode 10, Kagura mentioned that he used something that he really wanted to avoid using in order to repel Hazama from coming to the Colosseum. Any idea on what he used to repel Hazama from coming? At first I thought it would be Celica, but that doesn't seem to be it. Tager isn't either as he was just used to repel Izanami's Dimensional Interferences. Could it be Homura? I mean he was at the Colosseum in Episode 14, so although his current power is unknown (probably similar to Mei), it is possible he was the reason Hazama couldn't come. I mean Kagura did not want to use the method if possible.

Cover was available long time ago.

No idea. I need to read the novel or see that BBS or whatever.

Yeah, the fact is, the Lambda x Ragna thing was a mandatory yet, they just didn't add that in the games, where ArcSys probably realized later on that they should have added that in to make more sense for Lambda saving Ragna in CS. Mind giving me link to where that is? And probably a typo.

Even though she is known as Mei-ou and such we can't exactly say she is a "god", even if she is named after the goddess.
