Story Explained: The Blazblue Universe [Betrayal]

[@SkyTowerKurogane]

I don't really care about it taking as long as it did, I'm glad it's out. I hope you keep at it, but like, do your thing.

[@CyberWolfninja245]

Look I said this all the time and I'll say it again. Do what you like, Don't get stuck in something that gives you nothing in return.

[@kaizouwar]

Glad you're doing something like this. Over 10 years of BlazBlue and not that many people actually discuss the plot or anything of that sort. I tried doing so but they most go under the radar (I eventually gave up and just starting doing random discussion videos about the series) though I'm glad someone is doing this

[@Youngman191]

I’m glad you tried

[@joshualowe1821]

5:50-6:25 Hakumen is Jin Kisaragi wearing the Susano'o Unit.

[@TheMonarchofDragons]

Yes, I am fully aware of this fact. But as the beginning stated, I don't have the time to cover every single thing that happened within this time period into a single 15+ minute video. Hence why I didn't talk about Nine discovering the true nature of the world, both in terms of time, and where to put it. When the time comes, whether it be character bios, or when I get to CT, then I will cover things like that.

[@DrDark7]

That was really good. I've played BlazBlue for a long time, and I was always intrigued by the story

[@DinoSharkCobra]

I like how it was 3 episodes, and that’s only the backstory minus the time stuff :P

[@TheMonarchofDragons]

That's how you know it is going to be good.

[@twitchyboyo]

Coming here from a few years in the future where Centralfiction got rollback and I would like to thank you for being one of the few decent content creators to cover the lore in a way that makes it as fluid as possible, rather than making me trudge through wikis and forums for clues to plot points that were either never explained or poorly explained, and/or searching for translations of light novels that never got translations. Greatly appreciated as a newcomer.

[@TheMonarchofDragons]

Hey glad to hear it! Always surprised and happy to hear that these old videos are helping out people even now.

[@joshualowe1821]

9:16-9:24 Takemikazuchi was created by Seven & Eight?? And to think that Takemikazuchi would be used by Hades Izanami in an attempt to destroy Amaterasu....

[@haz2077]

Hazama and Terumi are the best, that's all you need to know about the BlazBlue universe.

[@KarolZiom]

Amazing Video. Finally I know what happened to six heroes before ''Adventures of Ragna''. I love the BlazBlue series and your videos. I hope you can one day make a video about Ragna and basically his suffering. Keep up the great work

[@BardockSkywalker]

About Time, I Found This, The More BB Lore, The Better *Eats Popcorn*

[@SailorLarkspur]

I empathize with the feeling of obligation. life is too short to suffer in things you dont have to so dont worry about doing something you dont want to. there is endless content for people to look through dont bleed yourself dry to feed the greedy. But!! for what its worth i loved this series. you've made something over a thousand people have seen and enjoyed.

[@Xis66]

I knew there would be time in between these parts 😂 glad I'm watching these well after

[@calebf.8242]

Heh heh same 👍

[@thelamergamer1894]

Please finish it... I won't understand the story otherwise... I appreciate what you do.

[@michaelcgrigori7823]

So the BB we see in the beginning is actually Ragna and Nu fused together from a failed parallel timeline in which Ragna gave up on dying like a human and Noel failed to save him thus becoming a demon hell-bent on destroying the world , while Bloodedge Ragna is from a more successful timeline, one where he kept true to his word (kept fighting as a human until the end) and as such was lucky enough to be saved by Noel and later on become the 7th hero aka The Men of the Azure the one who time traveled to the past (at the same point of origin as his BB self did) kept his black beast self at bay for 1 year all all thanks to his life link and azure grimoire resonating with the BB and he did all this while battling Nu within the BB!

[@bonelesssnek5130]

The wait was worth it

[@tonyinfinite5174]

Pretty good vid man 👍

[@idiom2805]

I feel like I missed something here. Did Hakumen always posses a will of his own prior to creating Terumi? Cause, I don't know how he's doing all of this stuff without any soul to guide him, or commands from Amaterasu to follow.

[@TheMonarchofDragons]

Ok so, this is definitely a detail I should've covered at some point, I just didn't know where to put it. But anyways, from the Dark War and onward until the end of CF, the Unit is in possession of an alternate timeline Jin. Cause ya know, time travel shenanigans in Blazblue.

[@idiom2805]

@@TheMonarchofDragons Yeah, I was scratching my head trying to figure out how he had a will of his own, but time shenanigans can get confusing real fast.

[@goodietankfunny]

@@idiom2805 Jin Kisaragi from the original timeline jumped in the boundary after Nu who had pulled Ragna into the boundary with her. He floated around for some time before being rescued by Rachel Alucard some time later, brought to the Alucard manor, back while Clavis Alucard was still head. He was presented the Susano'o unit and given the choice to take it, and become a true hero, or he could stay put in the Alucard manor under their care for as long as he wished, though most likely bedridden for his life. He eventually entered the unit and became Hakumen. tldr: Hakumen is Jin Kisaragi from the very first time loop.

[@SevenSinshu]

Amazing video, thanks for clarifying things up for me. Also, what was that intro music at the beginning, im curious

[@eduardojara6955]

Thank god, someone is doing this I've onky played one game and thank god you give sources so we can look at it ourselves

[@Ryxerz]

Hi man, thanks for the video it makes several things more logic to me, the phase shift 0 to phase 4 mangas cover a lot of things but they are only in Japanese and in Japan. Question like why Saya was chosen to be the first prime field device or how Amane, Rachel, Terumi and Kokonoe are become observers are unanswered.

[@MrOnay-px1jx]

why would you create a weapon that uses the lifeforce of celica to destroy the beast if you could just use her lifeforce on the lynchpin to defeat the beast?

[@sithsauron6096]

sorry, did you say "get comfy at your LOCAL fire place"?

[@dewaynethomas6693]

I've been a BB fan ever since continuum shift, and I still don't get why so many people love Terumi or his two other forms so much. He just seems like your average try hard edgelord villain to me.

[@kazsura9812]

That's kinda of the point, he over the top and just kinda fun to watch.

[@almightybirthdaycandle236]

He's also very good at being a villain as well. So much shit was done by his hands, so if you actually like BB's story, you kind of have to credit Terumi for taking arguably the biggest role in it.

[@goodietankfunny]

It's funny, they intentionally designed him to be the most unlikable character possible, but he's so conniving and devilish, and Hazama is just so damn classy and well, Hazama that everyone loved him.

[@redacted8008]

He absolutely is, and that's why we love him.

[@joshualowe1821]

8:24 So, Nine of the Ten Sages, created Nirvana....does that mean she also created IGNIS the doll for Relius, A.K.A, ONE of the Ten Sages??

[@mystery8820]

By One, you mean, the code name for the the leader of the 10 Sages and 1st Ranked Member?

[@joshualowe1821]

Mystery ? Yes. Relius is the leader of the Ten Sages. Relius is The One.

[@mystery8820]

So Carl is successor to the leader of the Ten Sages/NOL Colonel. Did Relly jumped to a different time period, banged Ignis, and raised Carl just to be his protege, then afterwards jumped into the Cauldron cuz he succeeded in moulding Carl to be his successor? Creepy.

[@mystery8820]

@@joshualowe1821 Also, did Kokonoe ever mention Relius betraying her mom at some point in the story?

[@joshualowe1821]

Mystery ? I don't know. Tge relationship between Kokonoe and Relius is unclear. However, we all know who Kokonoe REALLY hates: Yuuki Terumi. Terumi was the one who trapped Nine in the boundary so that is why Kokonoe wanted to destroy Terumi.

[@nobees5236]

whats with people using celica as a battery bro

[@PrometheusInfrnl]

Music at 16:36?

[@goodietankfunny]

It's called "black throb". You can find it on the BlazBlue Sound Complete Box, Disc 10, Track 10.

[@Arimayne]

Better this time

[@CyberWolfninja245]

YEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dexterhighdemand2327]

What is up with everyone trying to sacrifice celica? 😂

[@ZioSerpe]

Holy fuck I thought you had given up on this

[@thatasianwaiter4559]

Waoiittttt, is RAGNA FOREVER DEAD?!?!

[@youngblood7308]

When did 9 die? I don’t understand what happened to her
