And here's the project I'm suggesting:BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger (ブレイブルー カラミティ トリガー Bureiburū: Karamiti Torigā?) is a fighting game developed by Arc System Works. The game's name is a portmanteau of "blaze" and "blue," with the "z" sound omitted in the Japanese pronunciation, rendering it similar to the word "brave" in pronunciation.[10]
A sequel, also next episode featuring new content and characters, titled BlazBlue: Continuum Shift (ブレイブルー コンティニュアム シフト Bureiburū: Kontinyuamu Shifuto?) has also been released for the arcade, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
Before the events of the game, humanity was on the verge of extinction from a creature called the "Black Beast." The world was saved by six heroes who wielded magic. They helped humanity create "Ars Magus", a fusion of magic and science, to defeat the Black Beast. This event would be later known as the First War of Magic.
After the war, the Novus Orbis Librarium (the Library or NOL for short) was created to govern the world with the use of Ars Magus. A great deal of dissent was caused by the Library, partly due to Ars Magus' use in nearly every facet of society, and the widening socioeconomic gap between those who could and couldn't use Ars Magus. This dissent would eventually form years later into the Second War of Magic or also known as the Ikaruga Civil War, when the city of Ikaruga openly rebelled against the NOL. Upon winning the war, the NOL imposed a harsher rule on the world, punishing any rebellion against the NOL with death.
In December A.D. 2199, several years after the Second War of Magic, a branch of the NOL was utterly destroyed by an SS-class rebel named "Ragna" also known as the "Grim Reaper", in an attempt to destroy the Librarium. The NOL, hoping to stop him, immediately announced the largest bounty ever, available to anyone who could capture him. Interestingly, Ragna possesses a powerful form of Ars Magus known as the "Azure Grimoire." This led the NOL, as well as the other fighters, to hunt Ragna not just for his bounty, but also his Azure Grimoire.
Now excuse me to post Kokuujin's summary translation before I actually do it myself...
So far, there's 6 volumes. The first 5 telling about the Dark War (the story preceding the game) and last one about retelling of Calamity Trigger which is actually from the Wheel of Fortune drama cd.The man posessing the power of the Azure Grimoire and the title of the Grim Reaper, Ragna the Bloodedge. However, when he opened his eyes he was now in a place he didn't know, with both the power of the Azure and his memories lost.
In this unknown world he meets a young girl who can use healing magic, Celica, and a beastkin warrior Mitsuyoshi, and their journey is closely related to the destroyer of humanity, the Black Beast—
To finally make clear the popular fighting game series BlazBlue's history which has been shrouded in mystery, the official story which begins and continues everything, Phase 0, is now here!
I'll start to translate from the very beginning of Phase 0 for the sake of chronology.
Now, I know Kokuujin has translated about 3 chapters, but I just prefer to do it from the beginning myself (his blog died btw).
Do note that I'm still practicing my Japanese and you may find some sentences to be similar to Kokuujin's.
Sometimes I didn't have a clue what the sentence meant and I had to look at his translation and learned from it, or when I was lacking some vocabularies, I'd look into his, too. I also asked some to my especially Japanese-fluent friend.
I just hope I'll get better enough to do it alone in times.
I've done the prologue and first chapter. So, may I create the page for it already?
