I'm glad they haven't forgotten about the Lynchpin. It was such a big plot device in CP but when Izanami went "lol I give" they just kinda put it aside. I'm assuming it's a one shot only type deal, so if they were unsure of whether or not it would be enough to end Izzy in CP, what makes Kokopuffs think it'll be good enough to deal with Amateratsu?

Hmm, I wonder what benefit does Tager have by protecting Noel? Tsubaki and Makoto are friends, but those two aren't even acquaintances outside of Kokonoe.

Going on about after CP, I think Noel got eaten by Black Beast Ragna not during their initial confrontation, but sometime after CP's ending in a separate battle. Jin was stated as critical condition after that first encounter in the ending while Noel was okay, which she clearly wouldn't be if she got eaten.

That's why I said earlier don't take that forum and TV Tropes seriously right now; someone posts something there as fact and everyone gets confused.

So, how far do you think we've gotten so far in the actual story mode? Tsubaki's CP arcade actually had elements of the game ending in it, so I wonder who's arcade story is the farthest in.

Also, don't forget that Hazama isn't as powerful as he once was thanks to Terumi ejecto seato-ing him, so Tao should be fine.

This story is basically making Kingdom Hearts look like the Three Little Pigs at this point. Never realized what I would be getting into when I started CS back in 2010 lol

Lol, considering how people like Taokaka and Bang have had better success with those two after their battles I'm a little surprised that Kokonoe keeps getting herself into shitty encounters considering how powerful she is, that's all. Then again, power seems to be proportional to the amount of shit you have to deal with in BlazBlue, so maybe they're lucky.

So what's the deal with Kokonoe so far? Is she as OP in the story as she was in CP? Cause it seems like her ending images involves her getting rekt by her mum or Izanami.

Raquel possessing Rachel now? What the literal hell. Maybe Rachel wanted to off Naoto immediately because she felt Raquel possessing her was imminent? Don't understand why Rachquel would be hostile towards him, even if she is normally tsundere like her sis.

I still feel like there's some sort of logical connection for Saya T./Izanami somewhere in between all of this....but I'm not quite sure where. MMOOORRRIIIII

Oh god, time travel within time travel. At this rate the universe is gonna be devoured by a black hole due to being unable to handle all of these time distortions. Either way, the fact that Valk and Relius are present in both means that they at least know something that they're not telling anyone right now.

What, the "Blazblue is the past to Bloodedge experience" not a big enough kaboom for ya ? We've yet to see the rest of the cast's arcade runs too. So let it slowly build up. Wait, so that was for real? Thought it was a translation error or something. Either way, it would explain a lot, so not really the bombshell I had in mind. And IIRC BEE didn't state anywhere if it took place before or after BlazBlue, if anything it existing might mean that there is yet to be a relatively positive ending in store.

Hmm, no bombshells like in Act 2 just yet. I'm gonna need several tubs of popcorn while doing the console story mode, for sure.

I thought about the Zero Requiem deal too, but I don't think Mori's going for that, seeing as how Ragna already is public enemy #1 for the entire series and is actually trying to make the best out of it this time.

I think Relius meant she was human in terms of her physical limits, regardless of how she was created. So in other words, just repeating what Terumi said to her in CP. That being said, is he really Observing her or did he mean that in a more literal sense?

Haha, Naoto is literally despised by the whole cast, the anti-Celica.

Chill, Act 3 has been out for a few hours now. You're the man for these translations), Zed.

With all this emphasis on Ragna putting things right, I wonder if he'll manage to fix his currently dysfunctional family, as well. A certain anime had an ending where there was an alternate timeline where one of the siblings was able to live peacefully at the cost of the other siblings erasing themselves from time, thought it was a neat concept and certainly within the bounds of BlazBlue.

What's this Allspark thing and when was it introduced? If it was earlier then I guess most people felt like leaving it out.

Uhh, Zed. That looks like Terumi's ending with Carl's arcade description. But yeah, just based on that description, Carl is turning into Relius Jr. Not good, y'all.

Also, the versus theme for Ragna/Izanami now plays when it's Jin/Izanami, makes sense.

They said that was a win quote only.

TV Tropes is a minefield whenever new information comes out, even I got into some disputes over what was right and what was wrong during Act 2; I would take everything there at the moment with a grain of salt.

Lol what, where was this from? Also, rule of thumb, don't quote Zed's crazy long translations, to save space and all.
