FOR JUSTICE.

In light of Justice coming back, and the whole business with her clones, has Ishiwatari been cribbing off stuff Mori's written?

Nah, Justice was being cloned and having stories about them before blazblue.

Eeyup, that's been a thing since forever. If anything, it's the opposite that'd be true if anything.

But I was referring to the fact we got three clones for now. I mean, clone with gunslinger motif, Elphet or Noel? Also, Ramethal's white hair should remind us of Nu.

inb4 the original Valentine.

Now, it's been brought to my attention that the article only describes the "silhouette of Justice", and that claims that the actual, original Justice is making a return might be unfounded.

To that I say...[1]

Speculation is part of the hype, and boy am I speculating the shit outta this.

The original Valentine came before Blaz Blue was even a thing. Plus, Elphelt's gunslinger motif is overshadowed by the wedding motif. And don't forget that clones of the actual Justice have been a thing in the story since Accent Core Plus, which came out months before Blaz Blue.

I think he's speaking strictly in the context of Xrd, but yea, the similarities are superficial at best.

Slayer has left us...

Aw man.

he probably has recorded everything he needed to for Xrd,but it's gonna be hard to replace his unique voice.They will probably make something up to justify it like they did to Zato-1 and Dr.Baldhead.

Heihachi has never been the same to me since his original VA took his life,either...

I know. It's just sad seeing him go considering that I love Slayer's voice-work. I also recognized him as Father from FMA Brotherhood, which I loved, so it's a bit of a double whammy.

Aww, that's pretty sad.

EDIT: In related news, the Xrd demo will be available on PS 4 from the 15th to the 29th. Only Sol & Ky are playable, and the only modes available are tutorial and arcade. And no, there's no multiplayer, offline or on.

I've just moved Iemasa Kayumi's name in the Names To Know In Anime, to the RIP section.

Well, I don't mean to disrespect, but is there anyone willing to make a Haiku for the guy based on his roles, to honor him? I'll be putting the haiku in his page later to honor him, seeing that Slayer's instant kill recites haiku to his target.

Read that on Dustloop earlier. Laaaaaaaaame.

I would if I knew anything about writing Haiku. Or his roles beyond GG and FMA.

edited 8th Oct '14 8:04:51 AM by LatverianBadger

I'd make something if I also knew how to write haiku...RIP, he was a good man.

This wiki has a Haiku namespaces so you can use that as an example. Its rules are mostly just about syllables within the 3 paragraphs... I think. Though I guess the problem is finding his roles aside of the ones in FMA, Giant Robo and Slayer himself...

edited 8th Oct '14 5:03:02 PM by ChrisX

Wikipedia has a big list of roles he had, but who knows if those are actually true?

For those who wanted that Haiku:

• Sleep now, Nightwalker
• And Forever Spread your Wings
• Good Night Sweet Dandy

All righty, that is an awesome one. I'll be sure to put it.

EDIT: Chipp'd.

If you feel that this only deals with Slayer, and wanted it to include some of his other roles (FMA or Giant Robo), you can edit it yourself later. That, and I'd just put the DESTROYED end, to mark that this is a tribute to his role at Guilty Gear. Though maybe I shoulda used a different term. It looked too... 'destructive'?

as a fan of Kojima games,I can't forget that he was also pretty good as one of the main villains in Policenauts,Joseph Sadaoki Tokugawa.

Man, bad year for old V As. Let's see: Ichiro Nagai's dead; Iemasa Kayumi's dead. Who's next, Masashi Hirose in the hospital?

Okay hang on a second...

I was trudging through the Character pages, and someone apparently edited in the Older Than They Look trope for Baiken, claiming there's implication that she's over a century old.

I take it this line of logic comes from the idea that Japan was destroyed around that time, but I was always under the assumption that Baiken was just from a Japanese colony that was destroyed by Gears much later, rather than one of Japan's citizens from before it was destroyed.

Can anyone confirm if the game says she was from a colony or not?

Dunno about the games themselves, but everything else I've seen says that she was living in a colony that was attacked by Gears.
