He rises.

Wait, so after Ragna pulled Terumi out of the unit, Trinity was the one who became Hakumen to help Ragna? I thought Hakumen was back for payback.

Welp I watched the video. I have nothing to say. Just wow....just...wow.

Can somebody post links of the cutscenes? I'm terribly curious.

You mind sharing a link? Because no offense, but I seriously...SERIOUSLY don't believe that until I get full confirmation.

Susano'O Terumi looks pretty badass. It almost looks like a 'Black Beast' version of Hakumen of some sorts. But seriously, it is obviously clear that Terumi may obtain the Susano'O suit. I don't see him getting it from Hakumen because if I recall, there was an image of Hakumen and Terumen fighting each other. So, I think Terumi might get a "duplicate" suit from another source. I would totally want to see Ragna in Beast mode vs. Terumi in Black Susano'O mode duke it out.

I have one theory. It may not be good, but worth a try. Okay, Terumi's origins are practically unknown. However, somebody[forgot who] commented on how Nine is becoming just like Terumi. Behavior and gameplay-wise, both of them tend to place their foot on a defeated opponent, both are willing to show the cast the 'truth' about the Blazblue verse, and both are aiming to destroy the Amateratsu unit. Judging by how Nine became corrupted after her field trip in the boundary, whose to say Terumi didn't went through the same fate as Nine did? I believe Nine's change of character might be a potential clue to Terumi's origins. You have to ask yourself, 'was this guy always evil?' and is he simply just a man who lost his sanity in the timeloops? I'd like to think that at some point Terumi probably lost something valuable or rather Amateratsu did something so unforgivable, that it cost him his sanity and made him a monster, hellbent on bringing despair onto others and wants others to experience what he had experienced. This may sound cliche and dumb, but I think Nine's character change could be a clue behind Terumi's background.

The text in CS says his vision was rather blurry, which would imply that he doesn't have his blindfold or mask on. I think he may be partially blind. I hope they reveal more on why his eyes are obscured.

I was curious. Why does Relius wear both a blindfold[young Relius] and a opera mask? Some Blazblue fans speculated that he is blind and the mask gives him a different visual perspective of the world around him.

Basically, the laws and physics of Blazblue's verse sounds eerily similar to Schrodinger's Cat Theory. The Thought Experiment fits the aspect on how Blazblue's universe works.

Possibly. I believe Izanami more or less wants to mentally break Ragna, making him lose control of the Azure and turn him into a monster. In a way, he dies as a monster instead of a human.

As much as I like Azrael, I am waiting for something or somebody to beat him in an all out fight. The only people I like to believe that could or without a doubt match his raw power, maybe beat him are Hakumen, Jubei, Nine, Izanami, Ragna[Black Beast mode], and Terumi[The dude always finds other means in getting stronger or plans ahead.] Remember, in Chronophantasma....half of the character are handicapped and not at their full potential. Though Azrael was holding back, he was fighting at his best. -Rachel lost a large amount of her power since she is losing her position as an observer. -Valkenhayn is getting too old. God knows how strong he was when he was younger. We know that Valkenhayn was more aggressive and temperamental. -Jin hasn't fully developed or tapped into the full potency of the Power of Order. -Tager...hmmm he isn't THAT strong. So he doesn't count much. -Ragna...he was fighting at his best in arcade mode, but nobody knows who won the fight. In story mode, Ragna was crippled by Celica's influence. -Hakumen. He still hasn't reached 100% of his power, but he is the only person who can fight Azrael to a stand still without breaking a sweat or suffering fatigue. He might be a perfect opponent for Azrael since the Susano'O unit is stated to be virtually indestructible and he managed to survive the Black Beast by his lonesome, despite being overwhelmed by the creature's immense strength. So, I don't think Mori would pull off a outrageous Deus-Ex-Machina on this brute's defeat since the characters, mostly the strongest ones have yet to progress further and reach their full potential.

The problem is it took six people and probably many others to defeat the Black Beast. Trinity Glassfille stated to Ragna that is impossible to fight it alone, in a way it is suicide. Dude may have some balls to fight one of the most dangerous, if not most dangerous creature of the Blazblue verse, but I don't know if his power is enough to actually best it in an all-out battle.

Like anyone is considered 'normal' in Blazblue lol

I have a question. Is Azrael really trying to create a Black Beast? If so, then I am skeptical with Izanami's little partnership with him if they are sort of in way working together. Because the Black Beast is one of the most powerful beings in the Blazblue world and it takes a lot of effort into defeating this creature. I'm starting to believe that Izanami might be leading Azrael to his death because I highly doubt that he could beat it or rather match its power as well as even injuring it since the Black Beast can only be effected by Nox Nyctores weapons, Magic, Ars Magus, and 'out of logic' beings (ex; Valkenhayn since he didn't use a Nox weapon in the Dark War.). What do you guys think? I mean partnering up with Izanami doesn't eventually end very well for people like Terumi and Relius Clover.

Taokaka stood her ground against Hazama in CP. Let us be clear, Platinum kicked Taokaka's ass in the CS arcade stories. It wasn't a serious fight though since Taokaka is made for comic relief but she is strong no doubt. Platinum was trained by Jubei and Taokaka is trained by Torakaka. Jubei is stronger than Torakaka since he is the original. Taokaka loses because she is hungry which sounds like a excuse. If Taokaka was serious or improved, she may beat Platinum without effort. Taokaka might increased to Jubei's level someday but for now, Platinum is no doubt stronger. She knows some degree of magic and could ensnare Taokaka into a trap like her throw move where she binds you in a brief magic seal and has a floating bell appear out of nowhere and slam into you. Platinum's fighting style is more like trickery with magic and outwit Tao and beat her there.

Just because you're a leader doesn't mean he is the strongest. It is based on leadership skills, not always strength. But I do agree though that Hakumen would win. Many fans misunderstood Jubei's title. He is called the Strongest Creature on the planet. By creature, it heavily implies he is the strongest beastkin alive. Jubei is stronger than current Hakumen. We don't know how strong Hakumen is at 100% but we can tell he is probably terrifying at his prime since Ragna was scared shitless of Dark War Hakumen. Trinity labeled Hakumen the "strongest" member of the Six Heroes. That would mean Hakumen is the strongest member of the Six Heroes. Possible evidence is when Jubei was distraught in the beginning of Hakumen CS story, some people say Hakumen "admitted" that he wouldn't stand a single chance against Jubei. However, Hakumen is most likely trying to give Jubei hope in defeating the Black Beast but doesn't say it in a decent way at all and Jubei declined this, telling Hakumen not give him such bull. Another thing is that Valkenhayn, old he may be, he is still strong as hell. Current Hakumen definitely gives Valkenhayn a challenge. When you fight Hakumen in Valkenhayn's CS story and you lose, he admitted that he couldn't lay a single finger on Hakumen. He even lets Hakumen go in CP in defeating the Imperator, refusing to get in his way. This probably indicates that Valkenhayn wouldn't want to cross blades with Hakumen at all. Valkenhayn can keep up with Hakumen but for a limited amount of time until he is overwhelmed. A lot of the Six Heroes members praise and are cautious around Hakumen, even Terumi himself. Rachel even told Ragna that if Hakumen at his full power fought the Imperator, he would have a hard time. So Hakumen could possibly beat Izanami in a fight or defeat her. Maybe equal.

Let's move to a new fantasy battle. Bullet vs. Makoto will have to go on a hiatus until Bullet's side story comes. How about Hakumen vs. Jubei?

Hey guys how about this fight? Hakumen vs. Jubei (both at full power)

@Cerotech Makoto did run out of breath when fighting Hazama and the reason why Makoto wasn't exhausted with Relius is because Relius barely puts the effort to fight his enemies, he merely toying with Makoto. Look at her arcade, Makoto was tired in her arcade ending after fighting Terumi in CS. She pretty does have a limit to her abilities.

Uh yes it can. Says it in his bio, bro.

Mind telling why you think Bullet could win?

Hakumen has a better advantage. His sword can cut through anything and he has Time Killer. It takes time to charge but he could use it faster or infinitely at full power. Remember, Hakumen fought Azrael while protecting Celica. Pretty sure Haku is fighting distracted.
