BlazBlue: General thread.

Lambda doesn't have a theme proper (sharp things?), but her Act Parser moves do: Act Parser Zwei, Act Parser Zwei: Blade, Act Parser Zwei: Cavalier, and Act Parser Zwei: Daggerfall.

Damn, I forgot about that. Doesn't Ragna have a death theme going on?

Alfric already pointed that out.

And that

Arakune's are mathmatical aren't they? Pretty cool how every character has their own theme going on with their move names.

Whenever Hazama goes into Terumi mode he looks like he just snorted a crapload of cocaine.

Or he could have just spiked up his hair. I dunno.

Hazama's trolling acts as a natural hair gel.

@ L Dragon (pages ago): About Kokonoe, I'd like to point out that she has magic inherited from Nine. And she killed Relius with it back in the day. There are hints that, if Kokonoe decided to actually do something instead of having Tager and Lambda do all the heavy lifting, she'd easily be in the upper echelons of the cast in terms of power. And even discounting her magic, this is Kokonoe we're talking about. The same woman who has a silo of nukes under Sector Seven HQ. You mean to tell me she couldn't cook up all kinds of scientific gizmos to wreck havoc everywhere?

Kokonoe is the final boss of CP

<douchebagmode>But all of her moves involve her hiding behind Tager naturally.</douchebagmode>

Tagers is based on Magnetism and GIGANTIC TAGER

From what can be gathered Amane is clothing based, Bullet is based on Hot Blood, and Azrael is based on manliness.

I believe Tager has references to sevral mecha genre animes.

Tager is tools and science.

I think Azrael's attacks are all named after weapons. Missiles, I believe.

Animals as well.

Although what kind of manliness depends on which side of the Pacific you're on. The cast of Bluraji had some interesting words about Azrael.

@ Mighty: I call bull. I disabled your Douchebag Mode weeks ago. Cleaned out the backdoors and everything.

According to our character page, Amane is meant to be a Identical Stranger to the Mikadoperator

...What? Aside from having the same hair color, they look nothing alike. And that's not even going into outfits, they don't have the same face or anything like that either.

Though that being pointed out does pretty much make it stupidly blatant that Amane is a Prime Field Device. Calling it now.

I thought we were thinking he was the prince of Ikaruga.

We were. But now he is probably someone else.

...Maybe he is somehow both. It's part of Hazama and Relius's big conspiracy somehow.

Granted, it is noted that he's apparently at least caught Rachel's attention somehow.

Well, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't introduce a new character for no reason whatsoever. Even the folks who felt like they were just filling up the roster in CT (Carl, Bang) have come over all plotty.

Of course, Azrael and Bullet were linked to Sector Seven right away, and even if we don't know Amane's deal, just from what little info we have we have, we fans have tied him to one of two existing plot threads (Tenjo's son and the Prime Field Devices)

I think the only character who no one is expecting to be tied to the plot is Makoto.

I think Makoto's plot in CP is mostly going to be trying to save Tsubaki. Which may also very well be Jin and/or Noel's plot too. She's also the one person Hazama really hates, so there's that.

Rachel has been shown to have a significant amount of interest as well, and even if that wasn't the case, she would still have Tsubaki and Noel to lean off of.

I for one want to see Platinum become more well-rounded, since so far she's basically just been sitting there bitching about everything as Luna.

She's definitely plotty though, since she's Trinity Glassfield, more or less.

Luna needs some character development, though. At the moment she's only slightly more bearable than Hazama.

Hazama at least attempts to be funny. Luna just comes off as a bratty bitch.

Incidentally, according to the wiki, Amane's hobby is making sweets, and he dislikes being indoors.
