Hehe.

Did anyone pay attention to Mu's voice during her segment and the clash with Izayoi? That definitely did not sound like the same emotionless Mu in BBCS. She sounded exactly as if she was still Noel.

Could Noel have full control over her Murakumo Unit now?

Uh yeah that's the case, AFAIK she can freely transform (or maybe it's certain conditions) from Noel to Mu-12, it's like her going Super Saiyan. Probably the reason the way the Sword of Doom remix sounds as it does now too, nowhere near as ominous.

BTW, anyone see this pic yet?

I can already see Terumi completely freaking out while Kokonoe having the time of her life.

But either way, now that Celica is here, both Hazama and Relius is going to regret that they didn't kill Bang when they could have.

What's the connection between her and Bang?

[shmaster]

It is more about her connection with the nail Bang has.

Spoiler for nail:

That nail is really Arch Enemy No.8 Rettenjou, which is a minified-Arch Enemy version of Kushinada no Kusabi. It's primary effect is to severe the connection with the boundary.
And to properly boot up the nail, Celica's healing magic originated from her Anti Body of the world is absolutely necessary.

Terumi and Relius both are trying to acquire Kushinada no Kusabi as it is both dangerous and useful to what they are attempting to do with the boundary right now. More specifically, getting Amaterasu out of Nemesis Horizon. But both of them are concentrating on the actual Kushinada no Kusabi right now and didn't pay too much attention to Rettenjou.

And now with Celica here, it is only a matter of time that Bang's Rettenjou gets boot up, and we can be pretty sure things gets really ugly for Terumi and Relius the next time Bang butts into them.

But there is one problem remaining. To boot up the actual Kushinada no Kusabi will kill Celica dead. So we can expect Rettenjou, despite minified, to be detrimental to Celica too.

Satisfying as it is to finally see Terumi taken down, things won't really be right until Imperator Saya is dealt with too

Was this explained in the novel, CP or from the last game? I got the gist of it that Bang nox nyctores is special..but I never heard of it in such details like that.

[shmaster]

Most information are from the novels, and some of them from CP.

Do you have the source where it was confirmed?

When Ragna changed Mu back at the end of BBCS, I was under the impression that Noel couldn't change back to Mu anymore.

I remember it was mentioned in the profile of her from the first magazine scan that announced Mu as playable character.

According to the description box, she became the blue successor and that form is what happens to her after succession. Doesn't say she can change back.

EDIT : Also, read below post.

It states in Mu's profile for CP that Noel requested from Rachel to teach her how to control her Murakumo form so she could have greater power to save Tsubaki.

Noel's fully capable of transforming into Mu any time now since Bolverk's limiter that prevented her from doing so was released in CS. She just doesn't have very good control over it yet.

[Iron Maw]

What the hell happened to Sword of Doom? Not that I don't like the new one, but it sounds completely different. Awakening the Chaos II seems much more intense which quite nice. Nu looking like CT Nu though.

Mu's new AF is also much better.

As addendum this also explains why Mu is Noel's final boss in Arcade mode.

Tsubaki's Arcade mode (subbed)

[Shadow5YA]

Was there a change in voice actors by any chance? Jin sounds a little too different from past games.

[Iron Maw]

The Blazblue wiki still lists his VA as Tetsuya Kakihara.


EDIT: Man Tsubaki's brainwashing is deep, it's still in effect even as Izayoi.

I guess the Six Heroes (or at least Hakumen) are going join Ragna on wanted lists.

[germanturkey]

don't even care about the rest of the game now. NUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Klashikari]

I'm more astonished by the radical changes in voice direction for Hakumen: Kakihara definitely used a very melancholic voice, to the point his calm demeanor against Tsubaki is a tad too uncanny (likewise, he hardly feels aggressive towards Ragna).
Sure CS changed a lot and he obviously doesn't have the gloomy future in sight, but that change is quite too much for Haku.

He's just less psycotic

[Iron Maw]

Bang's playthrough is now up and it is surprisingly perhaps the most plot important one out all of stories so far. Pretty intense atmosphere at the end there.... until the ending.
