BB - Mu-12's Theme Sword of Doom

Mu-12's Theme in Blazblue

[@Reynsoon]

This feels like the music for an action RPG boss where unless your party is absolutely cracked it's game over by the time the guitar gets going.

[@pyromaniacforhire]

This was her in her initial appearance. She was hell to fight.

[@MrTigracho]

Considering that Mori-P, Blazblue's creator wanted to create with Blazblue originally an RPG franchise with a big world, history, and lore, instead of Fighting games, you are right.

[@pyromaniacforhire]

I can agree. As much as I love "II" (listen to it more often than this), that part would have promoted it to a higher degree~

[@joshualowe959]

It turned out that Hazama was just a sub boss to the true boss Mu-12

[@KeeperOfPoops]

I hate fighting Unlimited Mu-12, not only does she have Homing Stein Gunners, but her most lethal attack is her hidden distortion drive "Kusanagi's Anger" which freezes you in place much like Hazama's "Eternal Coils of the Dragon Serpent" and then she absolutely annihilates you with four stein gunners and does a ton of damage the only way to avoid this attack is to stay well away from her, if she adjusts her headpiece thing, get back cos she's gonna do the thing!

shit taste

[@robertgriffin4811]

I bought Continuum Shift Extend on PS3 a year or so ago just so I could play as dark Mu, Kusanagi Mu, or whatever ya want to call her. The theme music can be played in games after Shift which is awesome, but I Love the chilling prefight and postfight dialogue that Mu dishes out in earlier games. I wish they'd let you select it as a sort of alt version in later games, but then I guess they would have had to record more interactions with new characters.

[@YChromosome99]

She's death incarnate!!!! Behold! THE GOD SLAYER....KUSANAGI!!!!!!

[@cantinandaba4419]

I miss this Mu12.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

same, i loved when Terumi said "It's time for a little punishment!" before she would fight and also had her original idle quotes including "Disappear!" and "I don't need... anything." but the Bunny Leech helped Lacking Lady master the power of the Murakumo. but one thing is for sure, even in chronophantasma when she's unlimited she's still OP because of one hidden distortion drive

[@Arklancer]

Same.

[@ponkan-h4b]

The singing gives me chills for some reason

[@joshualowe1821]

As a secret boss in extend, I only beat her with Ragna. Unlimited Mu fires lasers, lasers and MORE lasers making it almost impossible for you to make a move.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

Don't get me started on her hidden distortion drive "Kusanagi's Anger" if you get caught in that spot she summons then you're getting hit with a barrage of four stein gunners to the face, think of it like Hazama's "Eternal Coils of the Dragon Serpent" but much MUCH worse! the only way to avoid it is to pay attention to Mu's heat gauge, if it's 50% be prepared for Mu to adjust her headpiece, then when she does stay as far back as possible cos she's gonna use her strongest attack

[@omegadragoon1544]

this song had Guilty Gear vibe everywhere and that is why i love it XD, yes i know is arc system but keep in mind this is blazblue and i happy you can heard they didnt lose the essence of their previous game

[@sigurdtheblue]

It is BlazBlue vibe. The version 2 songs were just a different, new BlazBlue style, although I feel like the original songs in Chrono Phantasma and Central Fiction do not feel too different from the older songs. There is a subtle difference, but I never felt like BlazBlue music is the same as earlier Guilty Gear music.

[@heyyou3834]

this song is forgotten by time but never by the emotions of those whoplted the game every time they hear this they get reminded that Noel should be be main character of the series and yes im sarcas tis (noel can be obnoxious) but i still love her ..

[@DemonSlayingFootball5208]

Mu 12 in continuum shift is the only time in the series that I can say that Noel was badass

I barely played the game, but I would always sing this song for many years. I remember it being this same video. Just bought BlazBlue Central Fiction a month ago.

[@P.l.R]

Im not really sure what it is about this Mu 12's song but i guess to me its the emotional value in the words that makes me love this song so much

[@GrahamChapman]

If it's of any help to you in figuring out what the song is about, here's the translated lyrics: Oh, false god, that wavers in the void, Awaiting the moment of revival Yearned light dyed in blue blaze, Turn into eternal darkness Unto the brink of a time without light What's been born returns to nothingness, and the sword stained in death, Embraces eternal sin, and falls into the blue In this eye is the cycle of flasehoods reflected, Thousands of dreams for naught The fragmented memories left behind Calling upon the end, the bloodstained blade of sin Embraces eternal pain, and falls into the blue On the brink of despair, the spirit enters, Into the infernal Hell Eternally engraved scarring memories is the punishment Embrace unforgotten hope, and fall into the blue, Claim the light which slumbers at the end of the eternal darkness

[@thepulseman7154]

3:17: A solo a major third above the toanality? And it breaks into a bombastic symphonic part at 3:35 where the rhythm breaks? Ain't it like, perhaps, the most Queen moment in the career of a well known Queen fan? If so, then that alone is enough of a reason to prefer this version over II.

so much better than II

[@omegakyratian413]

badflamer I think the singing is much cooler in II, but the guitars are just so badass in this version

[@badflamer]

I'll say that the singing in II is much better for the intro, but overall once the heavier music comes in, I prefer the ephemeral vocals in this one for the whole theme of a truly god-like power. I am sure that the more easily distinguishable vocals in II are there to represent Noel taking control of her own destiny and whatnot, but from an aesthetic perspective they're just a minus for me. It'd be nice if one of the remixer music channels on youtube could smoothly blend teh best of both songs while leaving the annoying synthetic additions in II out of the melody.

[@OmicronX-1999]

Most of the original tracks are better than their CP versions in my experience.

[@viennasavage9110]

i actually find 2 to be much better

[@bloody4558]

I don't like second version because it's more hopeful. It fits current Mu-12 because Noel is now in control, but this one is more serious and emotional, also the robotic way in which the vocals sing... And just like some classic Daisuke Ishiwatari, I keep hearing some Helloween here and there in his guitars, the guy has so many influences from so many rock and metal bands that you'll hear so many bands in his songs all while keeping his own Identity.
