Her Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Her Heinous?[]

Calamity Trigger/Prologue[]

• She has repeatedly drag herself and Ragna into the Cauldron and merged into a Black Beast that would terrorize the world for a whole century. She has done this for an endless time loop until Noel intervenes and saves Ragna.
• In one timeline, she killed past Tsubaki in front of past Jin, who would later become Hakumen.

Chronophantasma[]

• After being rebooted, she attacked Ragna in his weakened state.
• Partnered up with Azrael and ambushed Litchi and Tager. They would have killed Litchi if Kagura had not intervened.
• Attacks Noel then synchronized with her status as the Eye of the Azure.
• Opened the gates to the Nemesis Horizon, summoned the Amaterasu Unit into the world, then finally merged with the Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi which would be used to change the fate of the world.
• Stabbed Ragna in the back even after he saved her. Which would cause Ragna’s Azure Grimoire to go berserk.
• While she does have comedic moments whenever she appears in the Gag Reels, particularly in The Blue Eyes - Phantom Thieves, none of them are canon so they do not detract her evil deeds at all.

Central Fiction[]

• Hunts for Nox Nyctores (which are the set of eleven weapons created to combat the Black Beast) and fights anyone who wields them.
• Attempts to finish off Nine the Phantom, but she was interrupted by Jubei.
• She and Jubei have continued fighting until they were near the Amaterasu Unit, which she would attempt to destroy it.
• After being awakened by Terumi, she went berserk and attacked everyone on sight and came very close to killing present Tsubaki.

What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]

• She is far too tragic to be NPE, as she was created in a laboratory via Saya’s vessel with several cords connecting to her body, including a big one to her right eye. She also has almost no freedom; constantly being used as a pawn for other villains such as Terumi, Hazama, Relius, and Izanami. Her life is basically a torture.
• Due to how she was created, she lacked any moral agencies as she was unable to understand what she was doing was wrong.
• While her love for Ragna can be seen as obsessive and twisted, she still genuinely loves him, which was somewhat confirmed near the end of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift when she took the blow from Terumi to save Ragna.
• Her temporary death in Continuum Shift was played with sympathy as even Ragna felt genuine sad for her sacrifice.
• She was ultimately redeemed after the events of Central Fiction as she discarded her old life and even removed her old code name and made herself a new identity: Juusan.

Trivia[]

• She is only BlazBlue character, so far, to be Inconsistently Heinous.
• She is one of two BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle characters to be Inconsistently Heinous, along with Tohru Adachi.
