TRYING TO RECALL THE PLOT OF: Blazblue Chronophantasma

[@skywaver5821]

"We want to THROW him at Space Jenova, but he's uncooperative". amazing....

[@DJmouchi777]

Funnily enough, if you use him in the game mode that lets you fight Space Jenova with anyone, he can nullify literally every move it has.

[@Danothyus1]

"i dont know why celica is important and i don't know what the cronophantasma is" this statement is quite funny.

[@reddeadreaver8558]

Celica IS the Chrono Phantasma and she's important because she has the ability to nullify seithr, the stuff that let's everybody use superpowers.

[@Abigdummy4life]

Celica is such a dumb character. Most of us in the West have such low tolerance for dumb naive people. I really hated her ignorant interactions with Carl, even if she didn't know about their actual history like Litchi did, she still kept triggering Carl with her usual dumb coy attitude. And she always insists that Ragna always keeps promises and shit. That said to me she has VERY VERY VERY blind faith. And if he says he doesn't remember you, DON'T TAKE IT AS A JOKE YOU NAIVE DUMBASS!

[@dripgodragna4266]

@@Abigdummy4life Yeah... okay. Celica told Carl to stop treating Nirvana like a doll, when Nirvana is his SISTER. How is that dumb? Celica didn't take it as a joke. As it showed, that REALLY hurt her feelings. Ragna DOES keep his promises. His promise to listen to Noel feelings, his promise to Rachel and himself to keep on fighting as a human, his promise to protect those he cares about. He's a man of his word. And if you hate Celica, you must hate Rachel, too, because she must also have blind faith in Ragna.

[@dripgodragna4266]

Yeah that's ironic

[@dripgodragna4266]

@@reddeadreaver8558 Also she's important because she is the key to Kushinada's Linchpin

[@FMAkuma]

"I don't know what the chrono phantasma is... and celica is important"

[@Izanagi009]

To answer some stuff: Celica is a Chronophantasma as she is displaced out of her normal time and brought into the current time. Celica's important as she's not only Kokonoe's Aunt as she's Nine's sister but also she has a Seither canceling ability and Kokonoe wanted to use her soul to power the Nail Bang has. The Nail is a Nox Nocteris that can power a massive device called Kushinada's lynchpin. The lynchpin can absorb and cancel out Seither worldwide. Kokonoe wanted to use Celica's soul to power the Lynchpin but it turned out Bang's master had his soul stuck inside the nail and so can power the lynchpin. As for how Tsubaki got returned to normal, I think it involved Kokonoe making an isolated space where the imperator can't influence her and Noel using the eye of the azure to draw out the zero unit Izayoi for Jin to beat. The Power of Order i think was used to negate the spell used on Tsubaki to make her evil. and now that I type all this out, my god this is stupid

Stickmanlolz I completely agree. One of the things I absolutely loved about Tao is how she became and remains as Ragna’s true friend. He tolerates others, but Tao is with a doubt his friend.

[@driftnick7022]

That's always been the problem of Bullet, she's been designed to provide backstory and some relation to Tager, who already isn't a big character plot-wise as it is, so she falls further into irrelevancy. To make matters worse, she doesn't really accomplish anything other than finding out she and Tager used to be on the same squad. And to make it even worse, her fighting style is so cool but most tier lists list her as absolute bottom tier. Poor baby Bullet, so cool but gets no love.

[@Stickmanlolz]

@@driftnick7022 The last update to Blazblue gave her some great tools, she's like, low mid tier now.

[@azureheart2846]

You got some stuff right but here’s what you missed, at least the important stuff. Celica is the adoptive mother of Ragna, Jin, and Saya. Kokonoe makes a clone of Celica, who’s also her aunt, but one from the Dark War. Celica is the Chronophantasma, it means two things, Phantom of Time, or in Celica’s case “Those Who Should Not Exist” because she already dead. Also there was some time travel, Ragna goes back in time to the Dark War and becomes the Bloodedge that Jubei tells him about. Jin was traveling with nobody, he did train with Jubei. Jin always had the Power of Order, but just didn’t know about it or how to use it, Jubei fixes that. The villains all have the same goal, bring out Amaterasu and kill her. Sector Seven release Azrael to kill Kokonoe, Tager and get Ragna’s Azure. He even calls them assholes because they had Kokonoe seal him away. Also the other Six Heroes are making a plan to kill Terumi, which obviously fails. Also, you completely forgot about Kushinada's Lynchpin. A giant tooth looking thing that was made to fight the Black Beast by getting rid of all the Seither, which the Black Beast is made of. The problem is that they needed to sacrifice Celica to do it. Rachel tells them that they can use the giant nail that Bang has instead. It was made for that very reason, also Kokonoe bitches about it saying that it was impossible. Don’t know why she would complain about not having to kill her aunt. Also because Celica is a Chronophantasma, she’s immune to Phenomena Intervention, which stops the villains from getting away with what they want. Also during the Tournament, Kokonoe seals Azrael in a pocket dimension that he later escapes form in the next game. Also, it’s not that he’s bored, but Sector Seven placed a device that unless the opponent wants to fight, he can’t fight. Unless they happen to be either Kokonoe, Tager or Ragna. After taking down Space Jenova, Ragna fights Nu, he wins, she later backstabs him, Izanami makes Ragna go berserk, nearly kills Jin and Noel, Rachel uses Tsukuyomi to protect Amaterasu, Izanami turns Space Jenova into an Embryo, and Raga gets amnesia. And Lambda comes back to life somehow.

[@voltekka47]

I thought the Six Heroes' plan was to make Terumi killable, not just kill him. I remember that at the end of Terumi's arcade mode, Trinity's like "you fucked up now, I switched your personalities around so that you're the dominant one and Hazama isn't, so that means you're killable now" or something like that.

[@divyanshmalik5135]

@@voltekka47 yes you are right

[@azureheart2846]

ChillTerumi remember when Hakumen used Time Killer. You’re right about the plan being to make him killable, the end goal was still to kill him. Edit: it would have worked too, had Terumi not cheated by self observing himself.

[@thatman666]

For someone like Terumi who doesn't know when to die, I gonna complement his skill for defeating a perfect copy of himself, TWICE.

[@joshualowe1821]

Azure Heart "Space Jenova" is the Nox Nyctores Gigant: Takemikazuchi. And you're right about the Six Heroes' plan to destroy Terumi because he survives in Central Fiction. You didn't mention anything about NINE, the sister of Celica, the wife of Jubei, and the mother of Kokonoe. Nine, Celica, Ragna and Trinity go and discover Kushinada's Lynchpin and decide whether or not they should sacrifice Celica to activate the Lynchpin. In the main timeline, Nine was a brainwashed servant called Phantom, who worked with Terumi, Relius and Izanami to bring forth The Day of Reckoning. In the end The Imperator/Izanami, releases Nine from her mindless Phantom state and Izanami turns Takemikazuchi into the Embryo.

So the Chronophantasma is...Celica. Yeah Chronophantasma basically means "time ghost" which is exactly what Celica is. Kokonoe was able to somehow photocopy her from the past because that's just something she can do. She photocopied her because Bang's Nail needs a soul in order to turn on. They need to turn on the Nail because the Nail can turn off Seithr for everyone else. And since Space Jenova and like half of the Imperator's abilities hinge on Siethr, it'll basically neuter her and her friends if the plan had actually worked. But no one wants to sacrifice Celica because they like her super duper much so instead they had to bullshit a reason for why Bang's dead master is actually alive and use his soul instead. Not that it mattered because the plan failed anyway.
