Well, Jin's sword seems to have a kind of personality... or at least a way of influencing Jin.

I know. I know.

I've felt that way for the last 3 years. But I continue on, a soulless husk still coasting on autopilot.

No wonder that thing looks like a Black Beast.

They mean as far as mythological references go.

You can't really do anything to Rachel at the start of the match. She super jumps back and winds up and you can't hit her; then she throws out a frog and a pumpkin while she's up there.

> Yukianesa and Ookami require large amounts of seithr to function properly, so Hakumen probably discarded Yukianesa after he fell through the Cauldron. It wouldn't work outside of close combat with the Black Beast. Wouldn't he have discarded Ookami too if that was the case.

What kind of Rachel style, Blade.

On a random note I really like her song in this version.

Nah, you're right, it's not like I play Guilty Gear; if I was familiar with all the nuances of the game I would probably find it super interesting. I just mean watching the videos trying to get interested, I just get bored with the Potemkin matches. The ones I see he always does that unblockable setup over and over and wins.

Well, if he's just an unstoppable monster then it's boring. Might as well play Nu. Although I guess playing Nu is fun too when you just want pure brokenness. Tager is more hype to me because when he actually lands a 360 you know that it's a big deal.

I figure. It's just that the videos I watch of him are always just the same thing, he does some Buster move and then hits them again into oki xN, match over. zzzzzzz

I like the concept. It makes it more tragic and awesome. Like, he's just an empty husk propelled forward solely by sheer willpower. He'll never live a normal life again and has to spend the rest of however long of an eternity he sticks around repenting for his sins. Then again it's not that different if it's just whatever remains of his mangled body.

Well, we see him in ghost form hiding in Rachel's bushes in CT. How else did he become a ghost.

Well, he uses CT in a lot of combos though, so it's not like we're going to be having that many stars to spare... going to be needing to save those CTs for when we actually land a hit. Still will be useful though.

Wait that would make ti weird if they tried to give it to Jin later because Hazama's body would still be rotting away in there. Unless they somehow scraped it out and then put Jin's body in there instead.

Well, it could be possible that once their body is placed into it, it's combined in a way, Robo-cop style. So then even if they wanted to leave, they couldn't.

So it could just be an Iron Man suit type thing too. But he survived like 100 years in the Boundary... so he can't be just a normal living person in the suit.

Also I wonder if that hair is just like, attached to the suit, or actually his hair.

I never got what the deal with "ego" preventing you from being observed was. Like, I get the general thrust of it, that Hakumen is too arrogant to submit himself to Kokonoe and get her help, but I'm not sure how that works in the first place. Didn't he want to come back and kill Ragna in the first place, so why would he want to resist. I guess he just wants to do things his own way.

Nah, it ends with him just being curled up in the Boundary all foreveralone. Basically so obsessed with Ragna that he was hallucinating over it.

I figured the suit at the very least was needed to keep Jin alive, since he was so injured by Nu... hm. It's one of those things that was always vague... like everything else.

No, Hakumen is basically just a haunted suit of armor. It's a metal shell with Jin's soul implanted into it. The CT Haku route was just a dream, so you can't really take that into account. But on the other hand, taking it into account anyway... it does mention he has a face that Ragna recognizes, although he doesn't have eyes. So maybe his body IS in there. But it's more like a Darth Vader type, half-man half-robot barely anything recognizable remaining type situation.

Is he even fun.

You need to ask for Murakumo Izayoi Tager.
