* FanNickname
** [=BlazGreen=]: Derogatory name for the series itself. An obvious play on drug culture while also applying to how the series seems like [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs it was made on drugs]].
** The T.O.P. Hat - Carl Clover's NiceHat, coined from one of ''[[VideoGame/FatalFury Garou: Mark of the Wolves]]''[='=] system mechanics.
** Evil [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]]: Jin Kisaragi, named for the titular role of his voice actor Creator/TetsuyaKakihara
*** The Ice Car: Jin's Musou Senshouzan[=/=]QCB+C special attack.
** Robo-Dizzy: Nu -13-
** [[spoiler: Future-Jin]]: Hakumen.
** Boobie Lady: Resident AnimeChineseGirl Litchi Faye Ling. Due to her {{Stripperiffic}} clothes that reveal a good portion of her big boobs, combined with how [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Taokaka]], [[TheDitz the resident ditz]] called her.
*** Also "Rawrgna" or "Ragnya" for Ragna, another [[TheNicknamer Taokaka]] creation.
*** Another good one is "No-Titty Lady" [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/519814/-_-_-animal_ears-bandaid-beret-blazblue-blonde_hai for Noel.]]
** Shitty Kitty: Taokaka.
** C-Men: Hakumen.
** Nu-Gundam: v -13-'s 4th color in her DLC pack is a Franchise/{{Gundam}}.
** Gay Man: Bang wearing his pink costume. His butt whistles when he flies!
** Clap Loop/The Clapper: Again, Carl. This involves positioning Nirvana right behind the opponent and repeatedly keeping the opponent juggled in the air while throwing them. Only certain characters can escape this loop, and only under certain circumstances.
** [[Music/MichaelJackson Smooth Criminal]]: Hazama
*** Also, {{Troll}}zama.
** {{Moe}}l: Noel Vermillion
** [=NoBoobs=] and [=NoPersonality=], also for Noel.
** Lamb-Chan: Lambda-11, Nu-13's much-nerfed [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute replacement]] in ''Continuum Shift''.
*** Lambchop over in America.
** Hakumen [[Anime/CodeGeass vi Britannia]], for his new voice clips in ''Continuum Shift'' which sound like Lelouch.
*** There's also Jin vi Kisaragi.
** Hype Dog: The EnsembleDarkhorse big fluffy dog that appears in one of the backgrounds in ''Continuum Shift''. Shown [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUK8GOD8sx4 here.]]
** Asstral Finish: Mu's Astral Heat, both for [[OffModel poor animation quality]] and gratuitous ass shot.
** Assdrill Finish/Asstroll Finish: Relius' Astral Heat, where it's heavily implied he rapes the opponent. Since the first footage of it was done on Ragna, the first one seems to be the more popular.
*** Entering the realm of meta, Asstroll is also a nickname of a deliberate act to invoke an Astral Finish on your opponent to rub the salt on the loser (though mostly for sports rather than utter insulting), such as delaying a fight and not using your Barrier Burst so your meter becomes 100, and sparing your enemy so the set up attack to ensure Astral would end up not killing the opponent by accident. However, if done poorly and the opponent is smart, this would end up as a double-edged sword as it can cost a match that could've been won.
** Assrail: Azrael due to the fact his appearance and behavior resembles those of certain Japanese gay stereotypes.
** Mikadoperator: The Imperator [[spoiler:(Saya)]]. In Japan, [[spoiler:she]]'s referred as "Mikado." Therefore, it's a portmanteau nickname.
** [[Manga/KOn Azu-nyan for Azrael.]]
** [[GratuitousEnglish Hottopantsu]] for Bullet.
** Chronoel: Noel's new design in ''Chronophantasma'' (mostly Japan-specific)
** Kokopuffs: Kokonoe.
** [[Franchise/MortalKombat Babality]]: Amane's Astral Heat works similarly to the original Babality.
** Team Douchebag: The duet of Yuuki Terumi and Relius Clover, two over-the-top Complete Monsters, in order to make clear who's the blackest of black villains in this GrayingMorality setting.
** Franchise/{{Gundam}} Tsubaki for [[SuperMode Izayoi]].
** When Calamity Trigger was first announced, Noel was referred to by different variations of "[[DistaffCounterpart Girl]] [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Bridget]]."
** Due to how they're performed and how they work in basic, Kagura's two special moves are occasionally referred respectively as [[Franchise/StreetFighter Sonic Boom and Flash Kick]].
** [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce The Cybernetic Ghost of Jin's Future from The Past]]]] for Hakumen, because that's what he basically is.
** Beast Ragna to the transformed state of Ragna as seen in the Ragna's Bad Ending of ''Continuum Shift'' [[spoiler:and the ending of ''Chronophantasma''.]]
** [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]] for Es.
** Terumen: What Terumi transforms into during his Astral Heat, an apparition vaguely similar to Hakumen but black with green TronLines, [[spoiler: AKA Susano'o]].

* TroubledProduction: ''[=BlazBlue=] Alternative: Dark War'' was announced back in 2017 with a release date of 2018 to celebrate the franchise's 10th anniversary. However, the original developer studio went out of business a year after the announcement, forcing Arc System Works themselves to take over the project. It wouldn't be until 2021 that the game would finally see the light of day.

* [[CommonKnowledge "Common Knowledge"]]: MUST DIE, the theme of [[spoiler:Susano'o]], is [[MemeticMutation quite notorious]] for having edgy GratuitousEnglish lyrics... that don't actually exist, as WordOfGod states that they're actually written entirely in old Japanese, with whatever lyrics sound like Engrish being no exception.

** Apparently, ''[=BlazBlue=]'' was meant to be an RPG, but was changed into a fighting game. It explains why the series is much heavier on story than most fighting games, at least.

** [[Creator/KentaMiyake Susanoo]], [[Creator/YuuichiNakamura Hazama/Terumi]], [[Creator/JunichiSuwabe Relius]] and [[Creator/AoiYuuki Platinum]] are [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia All Might, Hawks, Aizawa and Tsuyu]].

* NoDubForYou: Central Fiction did not get an English dub on the basis that it would have delayed the game by six to seven months, running the risk of missing out on EVO 2017. Many fans regard it as a crummy decision and Patrick Seitz, Ragna's voice actor, was particularly disappointed.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: Creator/KeijiFujiwara, Kagura Mutsuki's Japanese voice actor, died on April 12, 2020 from Cancer.

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

** [[Creator/AoiYuuki Platinum]] and [[Creator/TomokazuSugita Ragna]] are [[Manga/AhoGirl Yoshiko and A-kun]] and [[Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins Diane and Eleanor]].

** [[http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/jun/22/blazblue-creator-toshimichi-mori-tsubaki-was-originally-conceptualised-lesbian-yuri-character/ This interview with Mori]] states that Makoto was built from the dregs of his attempt to write Tsubaki as a lesbian. [[BiTheWay And there go the last lingering threads of Makoto's heterosexuality.]]

*** Exclusive to the English dub, but this isn't the first time Creator/YuriLowenthal has [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann voiced a character who's primary weapon of choice are drills.]] It's also not the first time he's voiced someone who's [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors incredibly flamboyant and obsessed with beauty]].

* RoleReprisal: The majority of the game cast returns to voice their characters for the anime.

* PigeonholedVoiceActor: This is not the first time Creator/YuuichiNakamura voiced a {{Jerkass}}. The moment you see the shit Terumi does, however, you will realize that this is his pigeonholed role taken [[UpToEleven way]] [[RefugeInAudacity past eleven]], into {{Troll}} territory.

** [[Creator/AkiraIshida Amane]], [[Creator/MiyukiSawashiro Carl]] and [[Creator/ChiwaSaito Taokaka]] are [[VisualNovel/DanganRonpa Togami Byakuya, Fukawa Touko/Genocider Syo and Asahina Aoi]]. The first two had a twist... why is Togami chasing after Fukawa/Genocider who is refusing him? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
