I'm not sure we can take that as a legitimate weakness. Why, in Tao's True End path, Hazama beats her up just fine, no allergy.

And it'll take place in Ikaruga.

Was it confirmed?

As for Hazama's allergy, I always thought this one is more of Kazuma's weakness than Terumi's. Or perhaps, one Kaka isn't enough to trigger the reaction.

Mauled to death via Kaka kittens... Karmic Death combined with Humiliation Conga of the highest calibre. I'd pay to see that.

[up]You know that doesn't seem like counting at Terumi's eventual weakness. He can easily ask Relius to give him a new body that is less allergic to cats and he got it fine.

@Da Gr 8 Gokulio It would be a mix of many different musical genres. Relius would have a Phantom of the Opera inspired number, for one. Hazama would have a showtunes esc Villain Song The climactic/emotional moments will be Covers of Queen songs. It's be like Moulin Rouge except awesome. I may need to think this over more than I should.

[up][up]Well the only reason he has no weaknesses is because he knows whats going to happen thanks to having been around for all the time loops. (Which are gone now so he now has the weakness of not knowing whats going to happen.) As for you can't thwart stage one that's for all villains just because Terumi has no shown weakness does not mean this does not apply to him.

Good enough, what of the rest of my points?

@Chris X I meant before joining the NOL, and during Carl's story, which takes place before her possible Face–Heel Turn.

So after that turn, she would CEASE to be a heartwarming-inducing machine?

#2459: Feb 5th 2012 at 6:55:32 AM

Naturally. What hearths would she warm while working with the bad guys?

#2460: Feb 5th 2012 at 7:03:27 AM

Well, I guess that's why many disliked her. She DARED turn away from her core characteristic that is the heartwarming-inducer. I'm... not quite accepting the new Litchi. I want the heartwarming-inducer back... T_T

Though the timeframe when the encounter with Carl happens is debatable at best, I mean why would she be found in NOL if she hadn't joined?

So, like.

Ragna's kinda hot.

Is he? I find him to be pretty non-bishonen, what with all this grumpy behavior and having Scorpion for voice actor. I'd say Jin or Hazama are more straightforwardly hot...

Then again, I should be talking about women in this one, so...

Talk about changing the subject.

#2464: Feb 5th 2012 at 11:33:40 AM

[up] Yes.

I think Ragna strikes that wonderful balance between ruggedness and prettiness. Yes.

In terms of (playable) women, I suppose the ones I'd consider "hot" are Makoto and Litchi. Tsubaki would need a more graceful description, Tao's face is still a mystery, and Noel is too adorable to be hot. Yes.

Platinum and Rachel... I'd rather not go there. I'm not forgetting anyone, am I?

...Yes?

Poor Lambda. ;_;

Lambda never counts.

Also, isn't Rachel like, a gazillion years old? Wouldn't that make Ragna a Cake Eater if he's paired with her?

[up][up][up]Yes, yes it would. (unless Cowboy Bebop On His Computer).

I think they'll find some way to "age" her up if they really want to show the two of them together (mostly, to avoid moral guardians).

I wonder if they're going to do Platinum x Kazuma (or well, however to get Trinity's soul out to hook up with Kazuma). I'm suprised there's like no doujins or something about that.

[up] And that's the grand irony. Personally, I do think she does like him. Either taking a liking to him as her Morality Pet and caring about him, and maybe more eventually? Maybe her gag ending was... cut off to in the end explain nothing.


Also, Hakumen is awesome.

...I guess this can work too.

Aand now, changing the subject... Which of the characters in BB do you think you'd get along the best?

Alright, just powered my way through most of the second game.
I'd like a little clarity.
So, is the Black Beast Ragna?
The first game seemed to indicate that pretty bluntly, but then the second game was like ehhhhh about the subject.
I go onto the wiki, where it says that it is. OK.
Then I follow a link about Bloodedge and find out he's Ragna.
What?
Is Ragna Bloodedge and the Black Beast through WTS?
Or was Hazama's explanation about teh Black Beast being a cauldron the real explanation?

Also...
I hope Phantom and Jubei are playable in the next game...

[up][up]Noel? sadly?

I'm not sure when I look at it.

Noel seems to be the least temperamental of the bunch.
Bang seems like he would be fun to hang out with, though you may end up on some shonen quest.
Makoto would probably be OK so long as you aren't a species-ist.
I'd say Taokaka, but she seems too battle-happy for my tastes...

Ragna and the black beast. Here's the truth.

Ragna and Nu are pretty much the two parts of the black beast. I think Ragna is mostly him, but the Black Beast in history IS Nu. When Nu attempted to merge them and the whole falling into the past thing, Nu took Ragna's part of Blazblue (and his arm) and turned into the black beast that history knows. That one Armed Ragna ended up becoming Bloodedge, and hit it off pretty well with Nine's sister (who fell for him). After the Beast's death and Bloodedge's death, Nine's sister decided to wait for him, and ended up being the sister who took in three little orphans into her church. Little Ragna, Jin, and Saya.

By using too much power in Ragna's CS bad end (too many super finishes and Astrals), Ragna does transform into the black beast (or something very much like a smaller, or something one. We see it from Ragna's perspective, which means we really don't see jack).

I don't fully get the whole cauldron thing...

I really don't understand how the cauldron works. The way Hazama explains it probably is the best explanation right now. I don't see why he'd lie when talking about his pride and joy. The other Tropers should know.

OK. That makes sense. I guess I just needed all the information in one place to see the big picture.
