History Trivia / BlazBlue

** Apparently, ''[=BlazBlue=]'' was meant to be an RPG, but was changed into a fighting game.

** Upping the ante, Unlimited Relius receives Ruber Grando (Red Hail [[AltumVidetur in Latin]]) in ''CP'', thus borrowing another one of Venom's Overdrives... Red Hail.

** English-wise, in a bizarre inversion of the Japanese version, this is ''the'' definitive StarMakingRole of Creator/CristinaValenzuela (Noel and the Murakumos) as afterwards, she rose from "internet voice acting celebrity in some minor dubs" into one of the most popular voice actresses at this age. A lesser version also exists for Creator/LaurenLanda (Litchi), as while she hasn't made as big a jump as Vee, her role here is considered the one role where people start recognizing her. This also promotes Creator/PatrickSeitz (Ragna) from just "that voice actor" into this "OMGAWESOMEVOICEACTOR."

*** Spike Spencer also did a few lines for him as part of an extra scene in CS2's Arcade Mode.

** Creator/TonyOliver was replaced by Creator/SteveKramer as Bang's voice in CS2, this change would stick and he would go on to voice the character in Extend's added scenarios as well as Chrono Phantasma.
** Creator/LauraBailey did a few lines for Rachel in CS2, but unlike the above example, Creator/MelaLee eventually returned to continue voicing Rachel in all subsequent releases.

** [[spoiler: Susanoo, Terumi's OneWingedAngel form, is voiced by Creator/KentaMiyake rather than Creator/YuuichiNakamura.]] This however appears to be a stylistic choice as sometimes you'll still hear [[spoiler: Terumi's voice lash out angrily from Susanoo.]]

* ActingForTwo / TalkingToHimself: [[spoiler: Noel, Nu, Lambda, Mu, and Saya [[note]]Zig-zagged for the last one - in both the east and west, flashback Saya is still voiced by Noel's [=VAs=]; for Imperator Saya, however, the cases are different in each region: In Japanese, they made a distinction between Izanami (voiced by Creator/{{Yukana}}) and Saya (voiced by Kondo); in English, no distinctions are made[[/note]]; Jin and Hakumen;]] Tsubaki and Kokonoe, albeit dub only; Hazama and Terumi; [[Creator/LauraBailey Luna, Sena and Trinity]]; Relius and TA, albeit dub only; Nago and TB, albeit dub only; Izanami and TC, albeit dub only; [[spoiler:Izanami and The Origin.]]

** [[MortalKombat Babality]]: Amane's Astral Heat works similarly to the original Babality.

** [[Creator/MiyukiSawashiro Carl]], [[Creator/JunichiSuwabe Relius]], [[Creator/HirokiYasumoto Azrael]], [[Creator/KentaMiyake Susanoo]] and [[Creator/AyumiFujimura Nine The Phantom]] are [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Cammy, Vega, Guile, Zangief and Ibuki]].

* DescendedCreator: Toshimichi Mori, the producer of the series, also does the voice of Paracelsus in ''GuiltyGear''. In Bururaji, Mori is always represented by a chibi Paracelsus wearing shades.

* OneOfUs: The localizing team did a pretty good job of translating all the medals/achievements in ''BBCSII'' and still managed to add in a few puns. Twelve of these medals involve Legion Mode, a mode where the player has to go through anywhere between one to dozens of bases on a map, where the number of bases depends on the difficulty of the map, and fight the characters occupying these bases. Guess what's the name of the medal awarded for clearing the highest difficulty? It's called [[VideoGame/ZeroWing What You Say]]. Yup, OneOfUs.
** A rather funny example of this happens in-universe in Arakune's CS Gag reel. It involves him getting caught in what he believes to be a roleplaying game. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity,]] (and mentionings of several internet memes) [[HilarityEnsues ensues]].

** In America, Ragna, Rachel, Tager, Platinum, Arakune, Relius, Amane, Bullet, Mai, Makoto/Gil, Carl, Jin and Tsubaki/Kokonoe are [[FireEmblemAwakening Basilio, Tiki, Priam, Lucina, Excellus, Lon'qu/Brady, Ricken, Emmeryn, Tharja/Kjelle, Libra/Aversa, Female Robin, Male Robin and Cordelia]] respectivly. Funny thing is, Robin and Cordelia can actually get married. In Japan, Ragna shares the voice of a fellow MemeticLoser...Chrom. The only other ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' character in Japan for Fire Emblem Awakening is Hibiki, who shares a voice with Donnel. Female Robin turns into Litchi when it comes to [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros appearances]] [[VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes outside that.]]

* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor: Just so you know, Creator/YuuichiNakamura is still a friendly dude who likes goofing off with Creator/TomokazuSugita, rather than being an utter monster like Terumi. Same goes with Creator/DougErholtz, Erik Davies; and in case of Relius; Creator/JunichiSuwabe and Creator/TravisWillingham (he's a real, genuine, family man. And married to Platinum).

** [[Creator/DavidVincent Jin]], [[Creator/PatrickSeitz Ragna]], [[Creator/YuriLowenthal Amane]], [[Creator/PhileceSampler Taokaka]], [[Creator/MichelleRuff Carl]], [[Creator/TravisWillingham Relius]], [[Creator/JulieAnnTaylor Tsubaki]] and Hazama (Erik Davies) are [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Richter Belmont, Dracula, Alucard, Maria, Shanoa, Death, Yoko Belnades and Soma Cruz]] respectively.

* TimeShiftedActor: Both Ragna and Jin have different actors for flashbacks to their childhood in both languages, this is averted for the females however, who retain their voices as both children and adults whenever flashbacks occur.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Apparently, ''[=BlazBlue=]'' was meant to be an RPG, but was changed into a fighting game.

** [[Creator/MiyukiSawashiro Carl]], [[Creator/JunichiSuwabe Relius]], [[Creator/HirokiYasumoto Azazel]], [[Creator/KentaMiyake Susanoo]] and [[Creator/AyumiFujimura Nine The Phantom]] are [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Cammy, Vega, Guile, Zangief and Ibuki]].

** [[Creator/DavidVincent Jin]], [[Creator/PatrickSeitz Ragna]], [[Creator/YuriLowenthal Amane]], [[Creator/MichelleRuff Carl]], [[Creator/TravisWillingham Relius]], [[Creator/JulieAnnTaylor Tsubaki]] and Hazama (Erik Davies) are [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Richter Belmont, Dracula, Alucard, Shanoa, Death, Yoko Belnades and Soma Cruz]] respectively.

* TeasingCreator: Mori Toshimichi has reached this status, if not outright TrollingCreator, when the subject is about the playability of [[EnsembleDarkhorse Kokonoe]]. This mini-dialogue sums it up:

** To wit, fans have been asking for Kokonoe so much (and so far, to no avail prior to ''CP''[='s=] console port), that Valkenhayn's "Help Me, Professor Kokonoe!" segment in ''Extend'' exists only to poke fun at the entire ordeal. Mori probably has graduated to TrollingCreator after that announcement around the time of the localized version. The reveal that Kokonoe would indeed become playable rescinded things a bit, but only for the [=PS3=] fans, as 360 fans will not only miss out on Kokonoe, but ''Chronophantasma'' entirely. Following that, Kokonoe turned out to be [[GameBreaker broken as hell]] and Mori refuses to rebalance her for ''CP'', so--depending on how much you care about tiers vs. character playability--[[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor the [=PS3=] fans still may have ended up being trolled despite their "wish" coming true]]. After Kokonoe's playable and rebalanced, repeat ad nauseum... except to her father, Jubei. When Jubei was announced, there has been another problem for fans to complain: NoDubForYou.

'''Mori''': Take two. ROFLMAO.

'''Fans''': YYYYYEEEESSSS- wait, that?
