History Heartwarming / BlazBlueCrossTagBattle

** All 4 represented franchises also have no shortage of shippers among their ranks, all of whom are naturally delighted that this game allows them to team up such popular pairings as [[BelligerentSexualTension Ragna/Rachel]], [[HugeGuyTinyGirl Kanji/Naoto]], [[UnresolvedSexualTension Hyde/Orie]], [[RoboShip Hyde/Vatista]], [[HoYay Ruby/Weiss, Blake/Yang, Chie/Yukiko]], [[VitriolicBestBuds Chie/Yosuke]], and [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Yu/any other P4 character]], [[GottaShipEmAll among many others]], and make them genuine {{Battle Couple}}s.

** When partnered with Mai, he senses a conflict between her body and spirit (as per her back story, she was born as male and then [[GenderBender transformed into a girl]] thanks to a Grimoire) and encourages her to abandon her current form to fix that problem. While Mai shuts him down on the basis [[SecondLawOfGenderBending she's comfortable with who she is]], it was still pretty considerate of him to offer advice on her situation.

*** And with her interactions, this is all true! Nine acts outright ''cute'' (and rather overprotective) to her sister, and Trinity and Celica are seen talking during her battle intro with Platinum.

-->'''Yosuke:''' Alright, let's show 'em a bit of our strength, partner!\\

-->'''Weiss:''' It seems it's our turn, Ruby!
-->'''Ruby:''' Yeah! Let's do this!

* In the cinematic intro, Ragna gives Jin a shoulder tap, before the two of them, alongside Noel presumably enter the fray. This is one of the warmest gestures Ragna has ever given Jin, and the fact that all three of them fighting together [[BadassFamily as a family]] is heartwarming as well.

-->'''Weiss:''' "How did you like our dance? Did you enjoy the storm of fire and ice?"
-->'''Yukiko:''' "If the dance was to your liking, come to the Amagi Inn's hot springs to refresh your body and soul. We eagerly await your visit."
* Hyde and Vatista, [[ShipTease as usual]], are full of this with their interactions. It's one of the few interactions where Hyde gets virtually no sass or awkward moments with.

--->'''Hyde:''' Guess I've gotta hit you with everything I've got.\\

--->'''Hyde:''' Sorry, I've never been good at holding back.\\

--->'''Hyde:''' Man, I just wanna go home already... How much longer are the two of us gonna have to fight?\\

-->'''Nine:''' "A Persona, heavy artillery, a flight unit, and humanlike intelligence...My daughter would love you."
-->'''Aigis:''' "Is your daughter still a young girl? I am a protector of children's dreams!"

-->'''Mika:''' My burning heart sets my chest ablaze!
-->'''Akihiko:''' My muscles roar as they break their limits!
-->'''Mika and Akihiko:''' Our fists shall collide!
-->''(fist bump)''
-->'''Akihiko:''' And there's the gong!
* [[HumanoidAbomination Merkava's]] interactions fall under this, surprisingly. There are a few characters who understand his condition and react appropriately. For example: Jubei acknowledges his human side, pretty much reassuring him that he hasn't thrown his human nature away, and Blake even promises Merkava that she won't let him be harmed should he promise as well to not hurt others. Even the Detective Prince, Naoto Shirogane, recognizes his internal conflict and seeks to aid him. Just the fact she refers to him as "Merkava-san" sells it.

-->'''Teddie:''' I'll protect you, Labby-chan!
-->'''Labrys:''' You're my knight in shinin' armor, Teddie!
* Tsubaki's greatest wish always was to fight by Jin's side, but was manipulated by the villains to oppose him and her best friends to further their plans. Now she can finally fight with him and her friends in this game. Doubly so if she's teamed Hakumen, who is also her idol and inspiration.

** In Episode Extra, Jubei and Nine agreed to act as guardians of a hot springs checkpoint for System's [[spoiler:actually Hazama's]] stamp collecting game, solely so they could actually have their honeymoon. The scene they're introduced also has Nine going gaga over the souvenirs in the gift shop as she tries to pick something out for Kokonoe. To top things off, while Jubei is initially embarrassed by how much Nine is fawning over him, it's not because he ''doesn't'' like the affection, and admits after Nine complains that the competitors are ruining their vacation that he doesn't care ''where'' they have their honeymoon, so long as he gets to spend time with her, which ends up costing them the match as Nine is so moved by what he said she forgets about the game entirely.

* Creator/MontyOum was a fan of ''[=BlazBlue=]''. Mori is a fan of ''RWBY''. The fact that ''[[VideoGame/BlazBlueCentralFiction Central Fiction]]'' had palette swaps based off of ''RWBY'' characters both shows that ''and'' it was a nice tribute, but ''Ruby clashing with Ragna the Bloodedge'' is ''beyond'' awesome. [=ArcSys=] really wants to pay their respects.

** This game is actually just one big Heartwarming moment for all the denizens of the [[CrapsackWorld BlazBlue universe]], since characters like Nine and Jubei fight ''against'' each other to the death in ''[=BlazBlue=]'' Central Fiction, they can fight together as a team here.

-->'''Weiss:''' It's seems it's our turn, Ruby!

** Oh and if their interactions in their home game wasn't enough, [[ShipTease have Hyde and Orie team up together]].
* Near the end of the Episode [=BlazBlue=], Ragna has to fight Es and and a shadow version of himself. Since he needs a partner to participate, the one who comes to his aid is ''Jin'', of all people. Ragna thinks Jin is here to fight him as usual, but surprisingly, Jin is completely cooperative and doesn't display any of his normal murderous intent towards his brother. Even after the fight, he boasts about how strong the bond between him and Ragna is and the latter, while embarrassed, doesn't deny it either. Goes to show that for all of their differences, they ''can'' cooperate with each other when push comes to shove.

** She also reassures Hyde afterwards. For context, overconsumption of EXS can cause an In-Birth to turn into [[EldritchAbomination a Void]], meaning her line is more or less expressing concern for Hyde's safety.

* In a similar vein, Nine's inclusion allows four of the six heroes to reunite (Jubei, Nine, Hakumen and Platinum). They also have the dubious honor of being the second group with a four way intro after Team RWBY.

* Because this game take place after Labrys's character arc, she is nothing but cheerful the entire time and takes up Yu's ideals of bonds and friendship. She is especially happy to fight alongside her sister Aegis and assures Yu that she's helping him out cause they're friends.

** And as expected; Jin's behavior towards Tsubaki in their special interactions are nothing but sweet and heartwarming.

* Despite being a dick to nearly everyone he meets, Jin does have his moments. In-game, three of his friendliest interactions come in teams with Izayoi (given how intimately close he and Tsubaki are, this is no surprise), Mai (a holdover from his Academy days since he respects her and Makoto as his ex-classmates) and Orie (whose personality isn't actually that far off from Tsubaki's own). He also has some form of begruding respect for Mitsuru as well.

* Similarly, Nine and Jubei's last interaction ended pretty tragically in their home series. Here, they can put that behind them and fight as both comrades and lovers, and Nine is still just as affectionate as ever with him.
