History YMMV / BlazblueCalamityTrigger

* HamToHamCombat: Ragna vs. Jin. And [[NarmCharm you love them for it]].

** Arakune Gets about as much hate as Nu and Jin. This mostly stems from his ConfusionFu style of fighting, which is downright CONFUSING to many, coupled with the fact that he is far easier to use than he looks; most of his moves are executed simply by pushing a direction and a button.

** The fandom has paired Jin up with nearly every character in the series by now. Tsubaki is both the FanPreferredCouple and OfficialCouple, but he's also often paired with Makoto, Noel, Rachel, Hazama, and of course, [[IncestYayShipping Ragna]]. Outside the series, in terms of fanfictions and fanarts, we also have Jin being coupled with [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Sodia]], [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]], [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rin Tohsaka]], [[VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Nakoruru]], [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood White Len]], [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Saki Tzusura]], [[SmilePrettyCure Cure Beauty/Aoki Reika]], [[Manga/{{Chobits}} Chii]], [[VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi Bernkastel Frederica]], [[RozenMaiden Suigintou]], [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Ky Kiske]], [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Koakuma]], [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Cirno]], and more. He's encroaching on Bang's MemeticSexGod status, really. And we're still counting.

* MemeticSexGod: Jin and Ragna. Hands down.
** See MemeticMutation for details on Carl.

** Third, the voices. Creator/KenjiNomura is probably just another seiyuu for big guys in Japan. JamiesonPrice is something of a [[EnsembleDarkhorse fan favorite]] MemeticBadass voice actor for big guys.

** Tager IS [[JamiesonPrice the]] ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Super Street Fighter IV]]'' announcer after all.

** The UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} release doesn't even ''have'' online play (Because it was released after Games For Windows Live shut down). And if you have people who can play with you locally? Getting local multiplayer to work requires setting up additional controllers in a separate launcher program, which isn't included with this version. So you have a fighting game with no multiplayer whatsoever.

* {{Narm}}: Before the start of Carl's fight [[spoiler: with Mu-12]] he says "I'll do my best, sis. I want to taste your cooking again." in the most dead-serious tone possible.

* [[EvilIsSexy Jerks Are Sexy]]: Jin.

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Oddly enough, the minor characters from Ronin-Gai who follows Bang would avert this if it weren't, well, for their status as minor characters.

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6L_WbYGQ1I The vocal version of Gale -Reppu-]], Bang Shishigami's 1st theme song was originally written and performed by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQUjH7Mtvn8 a user from Nico Nico Douga]], the song was so catchy and worthy of Bang's fame that it caught the Blaz Blue's official radio show (Buraji) attention. All the impending success of the song made Daisuke Ishiwatari invite Bang himself (Tsuyoshi Koyama) to perform the vocals for his 1st theme song, this of course with the very same lyrics the original writter envisioned. Oh, and in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear x BlazBlue Live Music 2011'', Tsuyoshi himself sings this same song with these same lyrics!

** Ragna seems to be prone to this, like his younger brother/[[TheRival Rival]], Jin. He has also been paired with almost every character from the series. What even adds to this is Rachel's Funny Ending. And just like Jin, this is not limited within the series. There're fanarts and fanfictions of Ragna being paired with [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Rita Mordio]], [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood Kohaku]], [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Heart Aino]], [[VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi Lambdadelta]], [[RozenMaiden Souseiseki]], [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Sol Badguy]], [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Flandre Scarlet]], [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Rumia]], and more. And then, there's the official April Fool's [[BlazBlue BlazBlue]] X [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Arcana Heart]] - [[CrossoverShip Crossover]] Flash Game hosted by the companies of both franchises. Where Ragna is on a date with [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Heart]]. Oooooohhh, boy...

** Second, his character design is one of the least anime-esque of all the Blazblue characters, as he bears some resemblance to some Marvel Comics characters like The Hulk, [[XMen Beast]], and Hellboy as a non Marvel example. As well as being more focused on what is viewed as awesome in Americans: [[RatedMForManly MANLINESS]], being the runner up in that department aside of Bang.

* MemeticOutfit: Carl is known by many people as a pimp, mostly having to do with his almost all-purple wardrobe, complete with a pimp hat.

** See MemeticOutfit for details on Carl.

* MemeticSexGod: Ragna and Jin. Hands down.

* MemeticSexGod: See MemeticOutfit for details on Carl.

* CanonSue: Deconstructed with Noel. Despite her general lack of talents she ends up with a better officer position than [[HardWorkHardlyWorks Tsubaki]], and despite her overall patheticness she's undeniably ''the'' most important character in ''Continuum Shift'' because [[spoiler:she's the [[PersonOfMassDestruction inheritor of the Azure]]]]. Plus, she's pretty much ''[[ButtMonkey the]]'' target for MindRape. Oh, and let's not also forget that [[spoiler:she isn't technically meant to exist. She's only alive because of anomalies within the GroundhogDayLoop, meaning that in the original timelines she was never supposed to even exist.]] By the end of the game [[spoiler:she's emotionally broken because of it all and gets BroughtDownToNormal due to losing the power of the "Eye". Oh yeah, and she also finds out that her best friend has pulled a FaceHeelTurn out of [[GreenEyedMonster envy]].]]
** Arguably, she starts off as a canon AntiSue, but by the end of ''Continuum Shift'' she's allowed to develop into her own person [[spoiler:but even then it's only because Terumi doesn't have any more use for her]].

* [[JerkSue Jerk]] [[CanonSue Canon]] [[MarySue Sue]]: SubjectiveTrope as always for Rachel, but: Amazingly powerful? Check. Fights to alleviate boredom induced by being amazingly powerful? Check. [[FigureItOutYourself Withholds information]]? Check. Mocks TheWoobie? Check. Mocks everyone else? Check. Mocks people stuck in [[spoiler:a [[KillEmAll bloody and depressing]] [[GroundhogDayLoop time loop]]]] for not having the information she's withholding? Check.

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Oddly enough, the minor characters from Ronin-Gai who follows Bang would avert this if it weren't, well, for their status as minor characters.
* VillainSue: Terumi/Hazama lately has been skirting this line. Let's see, he's good-looking with that pimping outfit, he's terribly overpowered as he {{Troll}}s people with ease, the world has been made so Crapsack to facilitate to his power (LOTS OF HAAATE!), he was once amongst the heroes, he cheerfully made potentially good people turn bad, and whenever he's canonically beaten (which is VERY rare and he gets a ton of screen-time, arguable too much given the number of times he's fought in a HeadsIWinTailsYouLose battle), it's ''always'' to further his other, much more important plan (Hello, Takamagahara!), and [[KarmaHoudini there doesn't seem to be a plan for him to finally get his comeuppance]] (Tell that to [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear I-No]] about how many times she gets punished for her bad deeds). He's basically an invincible {{Troll}}. Oh, and also? He's lately getting much more focus from the author, starting from the ''Wheel of Fortune'' Drama CD whereas he once again gets away with [[KickTheDog kicking a puppy]] named Tsubaki, and now there will be a novel ''BlazBlue Phase 1'', which can basically be summed up as ''"Terumi [[AndZoidberg And The Six Heroes]]"''. Oh yeah, [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Aizen]] can really suck his thumb when compared to Terumi.

Oh yeah, [[{{Bleach}} Aizen]] can really suck his thumb when compared to Terumi.

* WorldOfWoobie: Granted, unless you are [[CompleteMonster Terumi or Relius]], you're a Woobie. The list are as follows:
** Ragna's life ''sucks''.
*** WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:He says in his story that the destruction of his home and family drove him to bitterly hate everything, which is probably part of why he's destroying the Library, and part of why he becomes the Black Beast. And [[ItGotWorse it gets worse]]. Terumi draws power from Ragna's hatred for him, meaning his entirely justified grudge is powering a CompleteMonster whom he seemingly cannot kill.]]
*** IronWoobie: And despite all of that [[{{Determinator}} he never gives up]], even when he's been told it's impossible for him to succeed.
** JerkassWoobie: Jin has shades of this thanks to his backstory.
** Like Ragna, Noel's life ''sucks''.
*** [[spoiler:WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: And then Noel was tempered into Kusanagi, the complete form of the Murakumo units.]]
** Taokaka gets a substantial Woobie moment at the end of her CS story mode. [[spoiler: Try as she might, she can't hold her own against Hazama, and it looks like she's not going to survive the fight, at which time she breaks from her usual demeanor and laments that all she wanted to do was protect the village and her friends.]]
** IronWoobie: Litchi... [[spoiler:never shared her huge problems to the people near her just so they wouldn't suffer further, taking all her problems by herself. Also, to save Arakune AND herself, she is [[ForcedIntoEvil in the ranks of the enemy]] (It's either that, or get reduced into a puddle that not even losing her memory of Arakune can help her). She still out and out try to take things on her own, never wanting to burden those dear to her. And despite being and out-and-out TokenGoodTeammate and still exudes HeartwarmingMoment afterwards... the FanDumb about her was born, and considers her an ''[[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter utter]] [[WhatAnIdiot idiot]]'' and a selfish bitch blinded with obsession. Gee, it's like her woobiedom seeps into the Fourth Wall!]]
** Arakune. Especially when you realize he's sane enough to understand that there's ''something wrong with him'', but completely unable to do anything about it. [[spoiler: ItGotWorse after Relius captured him.]]
** Carl. The more one learns about his story, the more one wants to give the poor kid a hug.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Nu is, at heart, a sad, lonely, and somewhat deranged girl who just wants Ragna to be with her. Pity that also manifests in them becoming the Black Beast together and destroying much of the world.
** At least, that's for starters. When her soul gets put into Lambda and you find out ''why'' she's like this, you can't help but feel for the poor girl...robot...thing.
** If you take what she says literally and then remember the fact that she shares a life-link with Ragna then the fridge horror of whats happened to her is actually pretty shocking. Ragna has actually killed a semi completed Nu-13 twice before CT even begun, which in turn forced her to regenerate from scratch in the boundary...which is basically a place composed of 100% mind-rape. He did this without ever even thinking about her having emotions or a mind of her own since her previous forms weren't completed and she couldn't talk yet. After CT, shes left at the bottom of the now destroyed cauldron to rot and attempt to regenerate until Tager came and took her half dead body back to sector-7 so that Kokonoe could rip the soul out of her and stuff it into Lambda-11's body which was in only...slightly better shape after having been left to rot on a pile of trash for several years at the ruins of the Ibukido site.

** Lastly, the memes associated with him aren't as prevalent in the Japanese version, if they are present at all.

** The fandom has paired Jin up with nearly every character in the series by now. Tsubaki is both the FanPreferredCouple and OfficialCouple, but he's also often paired with [[MoralityPet Mak]][[InterspeciesRomance oto]], [[BelligerentSexualTension No]][[{{UST}} el]], [[TakahashiCouple Ra]][[BelligerentSexualTension chel]], [[HoYay Haz]][[FoeYay ama]], and of course, [[IncestYayShipping Ragna]]. Outside the series, in terms of fanfictions and fanarts, we also have Jin being coupled with [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Sodia]], [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]], [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rin Tohsaka]], [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood White Len]], [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Saki Tzusura]] [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Weiss]], [[SmilePrettyCure Cure Beauty/Aoki Reika]], [[Manga/{{Chobits}} Chii]], [[VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi Bernkastel Frederica]], [[RozenMaiden Suigintou]], [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Ky Kiske]], [[TouhouProject Koakuma]], [[TouhouProject Cirno]], and more.

Where Ragna is on a date with [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Heart]]. Oooooohhh, boy...
** People have also paired Carl with Makoto, Noel, Litchi, Rachel, Taokaka, [[ToyShip Platinum]], [[SatelliteCharacter Linhua]], and especially [[IncestSubtext Ada]]. And most, if not all of these manage to make sense within canon. And, of course, this isn't limited to characters within the series, as he has been shipped with [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Rita Mordio]](mainly due to both characters being voiced by MichelleRuff), [[TouhouProject Alice]] [[MarionetteMaster Margatroid]], [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Dorothy]] [[ThemePairing Albright]], [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear May, ABA, and Bridget]], among others.

* RealWomenNeverWearDresses: Averted. Noel's definitely the most feminine character in ''BlazBlue'', and nobody seems to complain much about it.

** Second, his character design is one of the least anime-esque of all the Blazblue characters, as he bears some resemblance to some Marvel Comics characters like The Hulk, [[XMen Beast]], and Hellboy as a non Marvel example.

* VillainSue: Terumi/Hazama lately has been skirting this line.

Oh yeah, [[{{Bleach}} Aizen]] can really suck his thumb when compared to Terumi.

** Taokaka as well. In Relius' joke ending in ''Continuum Shift: Extend'', she [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] her popularity.
