==BBBE Chapter 1: Contact==

===Part 1===

Somewhere, far off into the distance, a piercing noise echoes. The sound fuels an impending sense of crisis, it's loud and jarring despite being muffled by various structures like how a wall acts like a protective membrane to the actions of one's neighbor; despite such distance and protective membranes, the noise is still hard on the ears.

Rather than crisis, this feeling is more akin to how your alarm clock disturbs your pleasant rest, screaming until you must act to silence it making you want to destroy it. Who doesn't hate that noise, a certain boy knows he can't stand it?

Anyway, the boy immediately wanted to be freed from this sound that was offensive to the ear.
Thus...Naoto Kurogane's arm reluctantly left the warm cocoon of blankets atop the futon, reaching for the detested alarm clock alarm switch above his head. Said clock is an elliptically shaped non-digital type.

".......Stupid bastard..."

Following a light touch, the cruel cries cease from the alarm. He is left with a small satisfaction akin to smashing one of the world's evils. Then, motivated by victory, Naoto slips into the warm embrace of my futon.

But shortly after accepting the lullaby of drowsiness' advances, the front-door's bell beyond the bedroom door chimes. And it's not only once or twice, it rings over and over.

Too loud... Despite lacking the strength to voice his irritation, he wraps the futon around his head in resistance. This act serves to muffle the disturbance's noise, making the problem feel distant and irrelevant. However, soon the doorbell goes silent, as if in response to Naoto's shallow and lazy resistance, and soon the melodies of metallic mechanisms and tumblers enters the bedroom. It is the familiar sound of a key entering a lock and turning. It is followed by groaning sound of the door in the entrance not complying with Naoto's resistance.

(...again?)

Subsequently the sounds of someone entering his home reaches Naoto's ears.
That familiar presence stirs Naoto, a look of resignation rather than confusion or annoyance on his face while he gives up in his rebellion, as he crawls out the warm confines of his cocoon. In a simple T-shirt jersey and night clothes, he performs an large awakening stretch as he rises from his bedding in the center of the purposely and simply furnished bedroom.

Naoto's apartment is described as a Japanese'1LDK' or an apartment with a single separated bedroom and another large combined kitchen, dining room, and kitchen (includes a single bathroom). It takes Naoto only a few short steps from the bedroom to reach the front door. But as he slowly rubs his drooping eyelids in his drowsiness, the door to his bedroom swings open with excessive force in quiet blur.

"Oh my. He's already up..."

Standing in the doorway peaking at the drowsy boy, is a long-haired girl in a pleated skirt sailor uniform with a blue ribbon and white base color. She voices her thoughts, tinged with a faint, vibrant sound of disappointment, as her hair sways, there being a white hair clip to complete the refreshing, uniformed look.

The intruding girl's name is Haruka Hayami. She is Naoto's childhood friend and also a classmate attending the same high shcool...She also happens to be the daughter of the apartment building's owner where Naoto lives.

[[Image: BE1-1.png|thumb|Just another childhood friend.]]

"With so many door-bell presses showing results, that makes me confident in one thing. I think we've finally found the sure-fire way to get you up, don't you agree?"

Although he did not intend to get up while the door-bell was ringing, he decided to avoid such a familiar scenario.
Haruka lifted her shoulder mischievously, giggling as she entered Naoto's bedroom, with an overly familiar confidence, teasing her childhood friend.

"It's not like I was going to come over everyday. But I'm disappointed. Just like the childhood friends in Nao-kun's favorite games, I wanted to lovingly wake you up with a 'Nao-kun, wake-up~.' I thought that would help fill your affection meter."

"What are you saying, idiot? That's a template! A cliche trope! There's no way genuine childhood friends really do that! What respectable Japanese girl enters a man's room suggestively saying 'I don't like to be apart from you~<3~<3'! Seriou-......Wh-what game?"

Naoto only comprehended Haruka's earlier words just now, too rushed to contest her 'template' words and deeds to act with more discretion. At that moment, Naoto's drowsiness and clouded mind was grimly awoken by Haruka's words.

Wh-Why did Haruka suddenly bring up the topic of games and childhood friend templates? Before Naoto could contrive an answer, Haruka's eyes teasingly met his now alert gaze.

"Or, is 'Hurry and wake up, Onii-chan!~' your preferred route's princess?"

"Th-that's not something I know about!"

"No, it's okay; Nao-kun is a growing boy. It's not particularly weird or abnormal. Rather, having lots of girls come out just to suit a boy's fancy, isn't everyone satisfying their urges that way? I thought having just the game was a little lonesome..."

"O-Okay! I admit I have those games, but I didn't buy them myself!
Fukuda forced those games on me, okay!?"

Naoto exaggeratedly shakes his head in denial, but it can't be helped the self-evident truth that such an excuse sounds shallow and superficial; wouldn't anyone see it that way?

==BBEE Prologue: Rebirth==

Muscles around my brow strain. My eyelids... My eyelids were heavy. Extremely heavy...

Why? How come I am trying to open my eyes anyway? Even I'm not sure... Well, that's not it... Rather, thinking about it, it's a struggling similar to turning off manual breathing... I feel it's as if some natural aspect like breathing is now being consciously controlled.

My body feels compressed, chilling debris weighing my body down, disrupting my breathing.

[Ugh...]

My breath was caught in my lungs, the crushing weight forcing a liquid into my airway instead. It fills my mouth, leaking out over my lips. At the same time, I am overcome by the smell of iron or rust. I realize it's blood. It feels so warm... Or maybe my body temperature has lowered cooler than the blood... Now that I've noticed the feeling of temperature, I realize my body is stiff and paralyzed... My body does not even tremble in pain, fear, or shock... Slowly and steadily, my body grows heavier; it feels as if I am sinking, sinking into the ground...

(Is this... how it all ends...)

In the back of my mind, I realized the truth.
The end was near.
My dark blue surroundings are slowly devoured by darkness.
As my consciousness faded, instead of anything else, I recalled a face...
It was the smile of my childhood friend that always found time to take care of me.

(Ugh...if I get my clothes this dirty...you'll get angry...)

I don't want to make you upset if possible...
Lost in my thoughts
In the sinking darkness, a faint wind blew across my eyelids.
My consciousness slowly stirs back, subtly and slowly.
Standing before me was a lone girl.
Instead of my childhood friend's intoxicating smile, one that soothes like basking in sunlight; this young lady looking down on me is one with a black mantle and a cold, indifferent expression.

At her appearance, breath leaked out from my blood-filled mouth.
'Would everything be okay now?', I wondered.
The words I intended to mutter to her sunk deep into my throat like my body under the debris, disappearing before it can ever form.
Like a moon, the young lady turns her white toes toward my compressed body, she shrugs her shoulders under the mantle, amazed. While the gesture was modestly dissatisfied, it was indicative of her antipathy, her aversion to approaching, to my dying eyes.

The young lady had a faint smile float across her face. As if mockingly sneering, there was indeed a content look on her face as her eyes narrow and her small lips part:

"...would you like to survive?"

The embers of dissatisfaction reared it's ugly head within my cold, tattered body...the hell? Who do you think you are to sneer at one's misfortune?

However, out of the blue, my thoughts turned away from negativity.
'...would you like to survive?', I pondered the rude girls words. Of course!The answer is obvious! Yes, I want to survive!

(Because...there is someone who will worry if I do not return...)

Although vaguely, irritated thoughts of the immediate surroundings and misfortune were relegated to a small corner of my mind, rather the tension I should be feeling at the state of affairs was strangely distant from my concerns. Indeed my feelings were carefree as I worried about others.

The overlooking golden pupils, I wonder if she sees through my thoughts? Getting closer, the young lady bends down toward the pile of rubble where I lie, a smile gracing her thin lips carved into an expression contrary to her earlier antipathy. As she stooped down white knees teasingly escaped from her black mantle. For a moment those dazzling knees wrapped in transparent, fair skin ensnared my thoughts beyond what I could handle, like a enrapturing optical illusion.

A hand the same complexion of those captivating knees strokes my cheek not covered in debris.
Her face begins to move, as if to follow the fair-skinned hand.
It was as if she was moving in for a kiss.

The lips from that formerly indifferent countenance approach as if to touch my skin, whispering near my ear:

"If that is the case, then I will help you survive. But...find the '''Azure[Ao]'''. And then, me."

My eyelids, unable to bear the strain from the heavy weight, close shut. The next moment, within the darkness, I feel a new sharp, stabbing pain. A pain near my neck's side, blood trickling from a new wound, despite the rusty smelling crimson liquid only overflowing from my mouth earlier.

In the end, my consciousness fades. Slowly, I get swallowed by darkness. The darkness consumes me like an unseen beast, pulling me into the unknown depths. Yet contrary to popular conception, the darkness was comforting, like sinking into a warmed mud bath.

=====Notes=====
I'm using a system of '''Localized Term[Original Japanese Term]'''
For example:

*'''Azure[Ao]''' I'm not getting into the minutia of 'this Ao is written with a different character so I'm going to change the wording' instead I'll add context to differentiate it, if I catch it.
*'''Nox Nyctores[ArcEnemy]'''
*'''Novus Orbis Librarium[Void Information Bureau]''' (check Calamity Trigger's stage descriptions, they actually left this in)

If there are any new Mori chuuni terms, I may try to coin a localized term myself with some Latin, but might opt instead to use German instead to coincide with Naoto's German Motif 'Jaeger'.

This isn't a one-to-one translation as well, since BB has so much added localized features, so I made sure to add sensory detail so the flow is more akin to CT/CS localization rather than the more bland CP/CF localization. Still, I still have my grievances, like how Hakumen did not speak like a chuuni-af knight in Old English, but that doesn't matter to 99% of fans.

Now that I've noticed the feeling of temperature, I realize my body is stiff and paralyzed... My body does not even tremble in pain, fear, or shock... Slowly and steadily, my body grows heavier; it feels as if I am sinking, sinking into the ground...

(Is this... how it all ends...)

In the back of my mind, I realized the truth.
The end was near.
My dark blue surroundings are slowly devoured by darkness.
As my consciousness faded, instead of anything else, I recalled a face...
It was the smile of my childhood friend that always found time to take care of me.

(Ugh...if I get my clothes this dirty...you'll get angry...)

I don't want to make you upset if possible...
Lost in my thoughts
In the sinking darkness, a faint wind blew across my eyelids.
My consciousness slowly stirs back, subtly and slowly.
Standing before me was a lone girl.
Instead of my childhood friend's intoxicating smile, one that soothes like basking in sunlight; this young lady looking down on me is one with a black mantle and a cold, indifferent expression.

At her appearance, breath leaked out from my blood-filled mouth.
'Would everything be okay now?', I wondered.
The words I intended to mutter to her sunk deep into my throat like my body under the debris, disappearing before it can ever form.
Like a moon, the young lady turns her white toes toward my compressed body, she shrugs her shoulders under the mantle, amazed. While the gesture was modestly dissatisfied, it was indicative of her antipathy, her aversion to approaching, to my dying eyes.

The young lady had a faint smile float across her face. As if mockingly sneering, there was indeed a content look on her face as her eyes narrow and her small lips part:

"...would you like to survive?"

The embers of dissatisfaction reared it's ugly head within my cold, tattered body...the hell? Who do you think you are to sneer at one's misfortune?

However, out of the blue, my thoughts turned away from negativity.
'...would you like to survive?', I pondered the rude girls words. Of course!The answer is obvious! Yes, I want to survive!

(Because...there is someone who will worry if I do not return...)

Although vaguely, irritated thoughts of the immediate surroundings and misfortune were relegated to a small corner of my mind, rather the tension I should be feeling at the state of affairs was strangely distant from my concerns. Indeed my feelings were carefree as I worried about others.

The overlooking golden pupils, I wonder if she sees through my thoughts? Getting closer, the young lady bends down toward the pile of rubble where I lie, a smile gracing her thin lips carved into an expression contrary to her earlier antipathy. As she stooped down white knees teasingly escaped from her black mantle. For a moment those dazzling knees wrapped in transparent, fair skin ensnared my thoughts beyond what I could handle, like a enrapturing optical illusion.

A hand the same complexion of those captivating knees strokes my cheek not covered in debris.
Her face begins to move, as if to follow the fair-skinned hand.
It was as if she was moving in for a kiss.

The lips from that formerly indifferent countenance approach as if to touch my skin, whispering near my ear:

"If that is the case, then I will help you survive. But...find the '''Azure[Ao]'''. And then, me."

My eyelids, unable to bear the strain from the heavy weight, close shut. The next moment, within the darkness, I feel a new sharp, stabbing pain. A pain near my neck's side, blood trickling from a new wound, despite the rusty smelling crimson liquid only overflowing from my mouth earlier.

In the end, my consciousness fades. Slowly, I get swallowed by darkness. The darkness consumes me like an unseen beast, pulling me into the unknown depths. Yet contrary to popular conception, the darkness was comforting, like sinking into a warmed mud bath.

=====Notes=====
I'm using a system of '''Localized Term[Original Japanese Term]'''
For example:

*'''Azure[Ao]''' I'm not getting into the minutia of 'this Ao is written with a different character so I'm going to change the wording' instead I'll add context to differentiate it, if I catch it.
*'''Nox Nyctores[ArcEnemy]'''
*'''Novus Orbis Librarium[Void Information Bureau]''' (check Calamity Trigger's stage descriptions, they actually left this in)

If there are any new Mori chuuni terms, I may try to coin a localized term myself with some Latin, but might opt instead to use German instead to coincide with Naoto's German Motif 'Jaeger'.

This isn't a one-to-one translation as well, since BB has so much added localized features, so I made sure to add sensory detail so the flow is more akin to CT/CS localization rather than the more bland CP/CF localization. Still, I still have my grievances, like how Hakumen did not speak like a chuuni-af knight in Old English, but that doesn't matter to 99% of fans.

===Part 1===

Somewhere, far off into the distance, a piercing noise echoes. The sound fuels an impending sense of crisis, it's loud and jarring despite being muffled by various structures like how a wall acts like a protective membrane to the actions of one's neighbor; despite such distance and protective membranes, the noise is still hard on the ears.

Rather than crisis, this feeling is more akin to how your alarm clock disturbs your pleasant rest, screaming until you must act to silence it making you want to destroy it. Who doesn't hate that noise, a certain boy knows he can't stand it?

Anyway, the boy immediately wanted to be freed from this sound that was offensive to the ear.
Thus...Naoto Kurogane's arm reluctantly left the warm cocoon of blankets atop the futon, reaching for the detested alarm clock alarm switch above his head. Said clock is an elliptically shaped non-digital type.

".......Stupid bastard..."

Following a light touch, the cruel cries cease from the alarm. He is left with a small satisfaction akin to smashing one of the world's evils. Then, motivated by victory, Naoto slips into the warm embrace of my futon.

But shortly after accepting the lullaby of drowsiness' advances, the front-door's bell beyond the bedroom door chimes. And it's not only once or twice, it rings over and over.

Too loud... Despite lacking the strength to voice his irritation, he wraps the futon around his head in resistance. This act serves to muffle the disturbance's noise, making the problem feel distant and irrelevant. However, soon the doorbell goes silent, as if in response to Naoto's shallow and lazy resistance, and soon the melodies of metallic mechanisms and tumblers enters the bedroom. It is the familiar sound of a key entering a lock and turning. It is followed by groaning sound of the door in the entrance not complying with Naoto's resistance.

(...again?)

Subsequently the sounds of someone entering his home reaches Naoto's ears.
That familiar presence stirs Naoto, a look of resignation rather than confusion or annoyance on his face while he gives up in his rebellion, as he crawls out the warm confines of his cocoon. In a simple T-shirt jersey and night clothes, he performs an large awakening stretch as he rises from his bedding in the center of the purposely and simply furnished bedroom.

Naoto's apartment is described as a Japanese'1LDK' or an apartment with a single separated bedroom and another large combined kitchen, dining room, and kitchen (includes a single bathroom). It takes Naoto only a few short steps from the bedroom to reach the front door. But as he slowly rubs his drooping eyelids in his drowsiness, the door to his bedroom swings open with excessive force in quiet blur.

"Oh my. He's already up..."

Standing in the doorway peaking at the drowsy boy, is a long-haired girl in a pleated skirt sailor uniform with a blue ribbon and white base color. She voices her thoughts, tinged with a faint, vibrant sound of disappointment, as her hair sways, there being a white hair clip to complete the refreshing, uniformed look.

The intruding girl's name is Haruka Hayami. She is Naoto's childhood friend and also a classmate attending the same high shcool...She also happens to be the daughter of the apartment building's owner where Naoto lives.

[[Image: BE1-1.png|thumb|Just another childhood friend.]]

"With so many door-bell presses showing results, that makes me confident in one thing. I think we've finally found the sure-fire way to get you up, don't you agree?"

Although he did not intend to get up while the door-bell was ringing, he decided to avoid such a familiar scenario.
Haruka lifted her shoulder mischievously, giggling as she entered Naoto's bedroom, with an overly familiar confidence, teasing her childhood friend.

"It's not like I was going to come over everyday. But I'm disappointed. Just like the childhood friends in Nao-kun's favorite games, I wanted to lovingly wake you up with a 'Nao-kun, wake-up~.' I thought that would help fill your affection meter."

"What are you saying, idiot? That's a template! A cliche trope! There's no way genuine childhood friends really do that! What respectable Japanese girl enters a man's room suggestively saying 'I don't like to be apart from you~<3~<3'! Seriou-......Wh-what game?"

Naoto only comprehended Haruka's earlier words just now, too rushed to contest her 'template' words and deeds to act with more discretion. At that moment, Naoto's drowsiness and clouded mind was grimly awoken by Haruka's words.

Wh-Why did Haruka suddenly bring up the topic of games and childhood friend templates? Before Naoto could contrive an answer, Haruka's eyes teasingly met his now alert gaze.

"Or, is 'Hurry and wake up, Onii-chan!~' your preferred route's princess?"

"Th-that's not something I know about!"

"No, it's okay; Nao-kun is a growing boy. It's not particularly weird or abnormal. Rather, having lots of girls come out just to suit a boy's fancy, isn't everyone satisfying their urges that way? I thought having just the game was a little lonesome..."

"O-Okay! I admit I have those games, but I didn't buy them myself!
Fukuda forced those games on me, okay!?"

Naoto exaggeratedly shakes his head in denial, but it can't be helped the self-evident truth that such an excuse sounds shallow and superficial; wouldn't anyone see it that way?

But shortly after accepting the lullaby of drowsiness' advances, the front-door's bell beyond the bedroom door chimes. And it's not only once or twice, it rings over and over.

Too loud... Despite lacking the strength to voice his irritation, he wraps the futon around his head in resistance. This act serves to muffle the disturbance's noise, making the problem feel distant and irrelevant. However, soon the doorbell goes silent, as if in response to Naoto's shallow and lazy resistance, and soon the melodies of metallic mechanisms and tumblers enters the bedroom. It is the familiar sound of a key entering a lock and turning. It is followed by groaning sound of the door in the entrance not complying with Naoto's resistance.

(...again?)

Subsequently the sounds of someone entering his home reaches Naoto's ears.
That familiar presence stirs Naoto, a look of resignation rather than confusion or annoyance on his face while he gives up in his rebellion, as he crawls out the warm confines of his cocoon. In a simple T-shirt jersey and night clothes, he performs an large awakening stretch as he rises from his bedding in the center of the purposely and simply furnished bedroom.

Naoto's apartment is described as a Japanese'1LDK' or an apartment with a single separated bedroom and another large combined kitchen, dining room, and kitchen (includes a single bathroom). It takes Naoto only a few short steps from the bedroom to reach the front door. But as he slowly rubs his drooping eyelids in his drowsiness, the door to his bedroom swings open with excessive force in quiet blur.

"Oh my. He's already up..."

Standing in the doorway peaking at the drowsy boy, is a long-haired girl in a pleated skirt sailor uniform with a blue ribbon and white base color. She voices her thoughts, tinged with a faint, vibrant sound of disappointment, as her hair sways, there being a white hair clip to complete the refreshing, uniformed look.

The intruding girl's name is Haruka Hayami. She is Naoto's childhood friend and also a classmate attending the same high shcool...She also happens to be the daughter of the apartment building's owner where Naoto lives.

"With so many door-bell presses showing results, that makes me confident in one thing. I think we've finally found the sure-fire way to get you up, don't you agree?"

Although he did not intend to get up while the door-bell was ringing, he decided to avoid such a familiar scenario.
Haruka lifted her shoulder mischievously, giggling as she entered Naoto's bedroom, with an overly familiar confidence, teasing her childhood friend.

"It's not like I was going to come over everyday. But I'm disappointed. Just like the childhood friends in Nao-kun's favorite games, I wanted to lovingly wake you up with a 'Nao-kun, wake-up~.' I thought that would help fill your affection meter."

"What are you saying, idiot? That's a template! A cliche trope! There's no way genuine childhood friends really do that! What respectable Japanese girl enters a man's room suggestively saying 'I don't like to be apart from you~<3~<3'! Seriou-......Wh-what game?"

Naoto only comprehended Haruka's earlier words just now, too rushed to contest her 'template' words and deeds to act with more discretion. At that moment, Naoto's drowsiness and clouded mind was grimly awoken by Haruka's words.

Wh-Why did Haruka suddenly bring up the topic of games and childhood friend templates? Before Naoto could contrive an answer, Haruka's eyes teasingly met his now alert gaze.

"Or, is 'Hurry and wake up, Onii-chan!~' your preferred route's princess?"

"Th-that's not something I know about!"

"No, it's okay; Nao-kun is a growing boy. It's not particularly weird or abnormal. Rather, having lots of girls come out just to suit a boy's fancy, isn't everyone satisfying their urges that way? I thought having just the game was a little lonesome..."

"O-Okay! I admit I have those games, but I didn't buy them myself!
Fukuda forced those games on me, okay!?"

Naoto exaggeratedly shakes his head in denial, but it can't be helped the self-evident truth that such an excuse sounds shallow and superficial; wouldn't anyone see it that way?

'''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.

The game is currently released for the Taito Type X2 arcade system board, with a 16:9 ratio and 768p resolution and was released on November 19, in Japan and November 20, 2008 in the United States. It was released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 home consoles on June 25, 2009 in Japan. A port for the PlayStation Portable, titled BlazBlue Portable (ブレイブルーポータブル Bureiburū Pōtaburu), was released on February 25, 2010 in Japan. The PC version was released in Europe on August 20 and in Japan on August 26, 2010. The PlayStation Portable port was released in Europe on September 9, 2010. The PC port is a direct conversion of the Xbox 360 version, and contains cross-platform compatibility via the Games for Windows - Live service.

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.

Other game sequels include '''Blazblue: Chronophantasma''' and '''Blazblue: Central Fiction''' both released on various systems.

Additionally an anime adaptation titled '''Blazblue: Alter Memory''' was released for both '''Calamity Trigger''' and '''Continuum Shift''' 's main plot.

Lite novel adaptations for '''Calamity Trigger''' and '''Continuum Shift''' also exist and are listed below.

Two visual novel spinoffs titled '''Xblaze: Code Embryo''' and '''Xblaze: Lost Memories''' were released and are the original story to feature the character Es recently announced for '''Blazblue: Central Fiction'''. It is believed Nine and Celica A. Mercury make cameo appearances in Lost Memories as well.

A loosely linked spinoff, '''Blazblue: Bloodedge Experience''' was released in two parts and provides some questionable links and backstory to Blazblue featuring returning characters Relius Clover, Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, and Clavis Alucard and stars Naoto Kurogane, a new addition to the cast of '''Blazblue: Central Fiction'''.

'''Phase Shift''' is a novel series based on that game written by Komao Mako and the illustrations by Yuuki Katou. It provides insight into the backstory of the Dark War, the conflict with the Black Beast between 2100-2110 in Blazblue's timeline and culminated with the introduction of Celica A. Mercury to the game's plot in '''Chronophantasma''' as the final Phase Shift novel was released right before the game came out.

'''Bloodedge Experience''' came out between '''Chronophantasma''' and '''Central Fiction's''' game releases and before Naoto Kurogane's introduction as a playable character to Blazblue.

Additionally several canon short-stories were released in various formats, including inside Material Collections and Drama Cds.

==Organization==
Due to the convoluted and non-linear flow of how lore is presented in Blazblue, this site will organize the releases in '''order of release'''.

==Alternative Languages==
The ''BlazBlue'' series is also available in the following languages:
*[[BlazBlue:Phase~Brazilian_Portuguese~|Português Brasileiro (Brazilian Portuguese)]]

(Note: Translation progress varies for each version.)

==Story Synopsis==
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 AD 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.

The games slowly develop Ragna's battle with his nemesis Yuuki Terumi and other fighters as various factions follow their agendas to harness the Azure, destroy the Master Unit: Amatarasu, or protect those they care for.

'''Synopsis:'''

 

"Kurogane Naoto was a mostly ordinary high schooler who lived a peaceful life
with his childhood friend Hayami Haruka. What wasn't ordinary with Naoto is that
his right eye is a little special, it possesses a special ability, "Hunter's Eye",
that make it possible for Naoto to see other people's Life Force in numerical values.

But his ordinary days ended when he met a girl with such high Life Force that she couldn't
possibly be human. The girl introduced herself as Raquel Alucard, a vampire. She ordered
him to get the hold of the Azure.

And so Naoto was dragged into a bloody battle surrounding the Azure." [From BB wikia; verify if from back cover]

==The ''BlazBlue: Sprial Shift'' Series==

'''Synopsis:'''
A light novel set during the Ikaruga Civil War!

=== Blazblue : Spiral Shift - Hyokujin no Eiyu (Rough translation: "Hero of the Ice Sword/Blade/Edge/etc" or "Ice Blade Wielding Hero") ===

[[Image:SpiralShift.jpg|thumb|Announcment Image]]

'''Synopsis:'''
The story follows the graduation of Jin Kisaragi from the Military Academy as he enlists to fight in the Second War of Ars Magus or the Ikaruga Civil War for the NOL. In this tale, some light is shed on the brutality of NOL in dealing with the insurrection of the Ikaruga Federation for freedom against the NOL hegemony and monopoly of Grimories. Being deployed to the most contested region with the most violent opposition, Jin must deal with social tensions of being a Duodecim member among lower-class allies with the tide turning against their forces. There is more than meets the eye to this war though, as Jin and his new unit encounter signs of Sector Seven (the other faction against the NOL) experiments. Not only that, but Jin's new unit, the 9th Unit or "The Hounds" exist to only weaken enemy forces enough so that higher-class units can sweep in and claim both the spoils and glory of war in a battlefield meant only to test new weapons and never to retreat or advance. What other hidden-agendas will Jin Kisaragi discover in this farce of a war?

==BBEE Prologue: Rebirth==

Muscles around my brow strain. My eyelids... My eyelids were heavy. Extremely heavy...

Why? How come I am trying to open my eyes anyway? Even I'm not sure... Well, that's not it... Rather, thinking about it, it's a struggling similar to turning off manual breathing... I feel it's as if some natural aspect like breathing is now being consciously controlled.

My body feels compressed, chilling debris weighing my body down, disrupting my breathing.

[Ugh...]

My breath was caught in my lungs, the crushing weight forcing a liquid into my airway instead. It fills my mouth, leaking out over my lips. At the same time, I am overcome by the smell of iron or rust. I realize it's blood. It feels so warm... Or maybe my body temperature has lowered cooler than the blood... Now that I've noticed the feeling of temperature, I realize my body is stiff and paralyzed... My body does not even tremble in pain, fear, or shock... Slowly and steadily, my body grows heavier; it feels as if I am sinking, sinking into the ground...

(Is this... how it all ends...)

In the back of my mind, I realized the truth.
The end was near.
My dark blue surroundings are slowly devoured by darkness.
As my consciousness faded, instead of anything else, I recalled a face...
It was the smile of my childhood friend that always found time to take care of me.

(Ugh...if I get my clothes this dirty...you'll get angry...)

I don't want to make you upset if possible...
Lost in my thoughts
In the sinking darkness, a faint wind blew across my eyelids.
My consciousness slowly stirs back, subtly and slowly.
Standing before me was a lone girl.
Instead of my childhood friend's intoxicating smile, one that soothes like basking in sunlight; this young lady looking down on me is one with a black mantle and a cold, indifferent expression.

At her appearance, breath leaked out from my blood-filled mouth.
'Would everything be okay now?', I wondered.
The words I intended to mutter to her sunk deep into my throat like my body under the debris, disappearing before it can ever form.
Like a moon, the young lady turns her white toes toward my compressed body, she shrugs her shoulders under the mantle, amazed. While the gesture was modestly dissatisfied, it was indicative of her antipathy, her aversion to approaching, to my dying eyes.

The young lady had a faint smile float across her face. As if mockingly sneering, there was indeed a content look on her face as her eyes narrow and her small lips part:

"...would you like to survive?"

The embers of dissatisfaction reared it's ugly head within my cold, tattered body...the hell? Who do you think you are to sneer at one's misfortune?

However, out of the blue, my thoughts turned away from negativity.
'...would you like to survive?', I pondered the rude girls words. Of course!The answer is obvious! Yes, I want to survive!

(Because...there is someone who will worry if I do not return...)

Although vaguely, irritated thoughts of the immediate surroundings and misfortune were relegated to a small corner of my mind, rather the tension I should be feeling at the state of affairs was strangely distant from my concerns. Indeed my feelings were carefree as I worried about others.

The overlooking golden pupils, I wonder if she sees through my thoughts? Getting closer, the young lady bends down toward the pile of rubble where I lie, a smile gracing her thin lips carved into an expression contrary to her earlier antipathy. As she stooped down white knees teasingly escaped from her black mantle. For a moment those dazzling knees wrapped in transparent, fair skin ensnared my thoughts beyond what I could handle, like a enrapturing optical illusion.

A hand the same complexion of those captivating knees strokes my cheek not covered in debris.
Her face begins to move, as if to follow the fair-skinned hand.
It was as if she was moving in for a kiss.

The lips from that formerly indifferent countenance approach as if to touch my skin, whispering near my ear:

"If that is the case, then I will help you survive. But...find the '''Azure[Ao]'''. And then, me."

My eyelids, unable to bear the strain from the heavy weight, close shut. The next moment, within the darkness, I feel a new sharp, stabbing pain. A pain near my neck's side, blood trickling from a new wound, despite the rusty smelling crimson liquid only overflowing from my mouth earlier.

In the end, my consciousness fades. Slowly, I get swallowed by darkness. The darkness consumes me like an unseen beast, pulling me into the unknown depths. Yet contrary to popular conception, the darkness was comforting, like sinking into a warmed mud bath.

=====Notes=====
I'm using a system of '''Localized Term[Original Japanese Term]'''
For example:

*'''Azure[Ao]''' I'm not getting into the minutia of 'this Ao is written with a different character so I'm going to change the wording' instead I'll add context to differentiate it, if I catch it.
*'''Nox Nyctores[ArcEnemy]'''
*'''Novus Orbis Librarium[Void Information Bureau]''' (check Calamity Trigger's stage descriptions, they actually left this in)

If there are any new Mori chuuni terms, I may try to coin a localized term myself with some Latin, but might opt instead to use German instead to coincide with Naoto's German Motif 'Jaeger'.

This isn't a one-to-one translation as well, since BB has so much added localized features, so I made sure to add sensory detail so the flow is more akin to CT/CS localization rather than the more bland CP/CF localization. Still, I still have my grievances, like how Hakumen did not speak like a chuuni-af knight in Old English, but that doesn't matter to 99% of fans.

So... I was thinking of reading this, but do I have to play the game first? Is this a prologue, or sequel, or new content? [[User:All Nighter94|All Night]] ([[User talk:All Nighter94|talk]]) 10:49, 25 April 2014 (CDT)

Several years late, but the viewing order depends on the material. Basically, the material collection substories should be read before or after Calamity Trigger but before Continuum Shift. Wheel of Fortune has no needed date, but Hakumen's Continuum Shift story and a part of Central Fiction's ending and Tsubaki's Central Fiction arcade mode references the drama CD. The Phase Shift Novels should be read between Continuum Shift and Chronophantasm, or more precisely before you do Valkenhayn or the other DLC character story modes at least, since his references Celica from Phase Zero. The novelizations Calamity Trigger Part 1 and Part 2 as well as Continuum Shift Part 1 and Part 2 can be thought of the more streamlined versions of the plot of the first 2 games, notably Calamity Trigger Part 1 being an adaptation of Wheel of Fortune's plot.

Going to Bloodedge Experience, these should be read between Chronophantasm and Central Fiction, but it takes place before Central Fiction for Naoto, but after Central Fiction for Rachel and Hazama.

Spiral Shift is completely separate, having no references aside from a throw away line in Calamity Trigger or Continuum Shift from Jin about the Ikaruga War. [[User:Ziggurat|Ziggurat]] ([[User talk:Ziggurat|talk]]) 08:54, 22 September 2017 (CEST)

'''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.

The game is currently released for the Taito Type X2 arcade system board, with a 16:9 ratio and 768p resolution and was released on November 19, in Japan and November 20, 2008 in the United States. It was released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 home consoles on June 25, 2009 in Japan. A port for the PlayStation Portable, titled BlazBlue Portable (ブレイブルーポータブル Bureiburū Pōtaburu), was released on February 25, 2010 in Japan. The PC version was released in Europe on August 20 and in Japan on August 26, 2010. The PlayStation Portable port was released in Europe on September 9, 2010. The PC port is a direct conversion of the Xbox 360 version, and contains cross-platform compatibility via the Games for Windows - Live service.

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.

Other game sequels include '''Blazblue: Chronophantasma''' and '''Blazblue: Central Fiction''' both released on various systems.

Additionally an anime adaptation titled '''Blazblue: Alter Memory''' was released for both '''Calamity Trigger''' and '''Continuum Shift''' 's main plot.

Lite novel adaptations for '''Calamity Trigger''' and '''Continuum Shift''' also exist and are listed below.

Two visual novel spinoffs titled '''Xblaze: Code Embryo''' and '''Xblaze: Lost Memories''' were released and are the original story to feature the character Es recently announced for '''Blazblue: Central Fiction'''. It is believed Nine and Celica A. Mercury make cameo appearances in Lost Memories as well.

A loosely linked spinoff, '''Blazblue: Bloodedge Experience''' was released in two parts and provides some questionable links and backstory to Blazblue featuring returning characters Relius Clover, Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, and Clavis Alucard and stars Naoto Kurogane, a new addition to the cast of '''Blazblue: Central Fiction'''.

'''Phase Shift''' is a novel series based on that game written by Komao Mako and the illustrations by Yuuki Katou. It provides insight into the backstory of the Dark War, the conflict with the Black Beast between 2100-2110 in Blazblue's timeline and culminated with the introduction of Celica A. Mercury to the game's plot in '''Chronophantasma''' as the final Phase Shift novel was released right before the game came out.

'''Bloodedge Experience''' came out between '''Chronophantasma''' and '''Central Fiction's''' game releases and before Naoto Kurogane's introduction as a playable character to Blazblue.

Additionally several canon short-stories were released in various formats, including inside Material Collections and Drama Cds.

==Organization==
Due to the convoluted and non-linear flow of how lore is presented in Blazblue, this site will organize the releases in '''order of release'''.

==Alternative Languages==
The ''BlazBlue'' series is also available in the following languages:
*[[BlazBlue:Phase~Brazilian_Portuguese~|Português Brasileiro (Brazilian Portuguese)]]

(Note: Translation progress varies for each version.)

==Story Synopsis==
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 AD 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.

The games slowly develop Ragna's battle with his nemesis Yuuki Terumi and other fighters as various factions follow their agendas to harness the Azure, destroy the Master Unit: Amatarasu, or protect those they care for.

'''Synopsis:'''

 

"Kurogane Naoto was a mostly ordinary high schooler who lived a peaceful life

his right eye is a little special, it possesses a special ability, "Hunter's Eye",
that make it possible for Naoto to see other people's Life Force in numerical values.

But his ordinary days ended when he met a girl with such high Life Force that she couldn't
possibly be human. The girl introduced herself as Raquel Alucard, a vampire. She ordered
him to get the hold of the Azure.

And so Naoto was dragged into a bloody battle surrounding the Azure." [From BB wikia; verify if from back cover]

==The ''BlazBlue: Sprial Shift'' Series==

'''Synopsis:'''
A light novel set during the Ikaruga Civil War!

=== Blazblue : Spiral Shift - Hyokujin no Eiyu (Rough translation: "Hero of the Ice Sword/Blade/Edge/etc" or "Ice Blade Wielding Hero") ===

[[Image:SpiralShift.jpg|thumb|Announcment Image]]

'''Synopsis:'''
The story follows the graduation of Jin Kisaragi from the Military Academy as he enlists to fight in the Second War of Ars Magus or the Ikaruga Civil War for the NOL. In this tale, some light is shed on the brutality of NOL in dealing with the insurrection of the Ikaruga Federation for freedom against the NOL hegemony and monopoly of Grimories. Being deployed to the most contested region with the most violent opposition, Jin must deal with social tensions of being a Duodecim member among lower-class allies with the tide turning against their forces. There is more than meets the eye to this war though, as Jin and his new unit encounter signs of Sector Seven (the other faction against the NOL) experiments. Not only that, but Jin's new unit, the 9th Unit or "The Hounds" exist to only weaken enemy forces enough so that higher-class units can sweep in and claim both the spoils and glory of war in a battlefield meant only to test new weapons and never to retreat or advance. What other hidden-agendas will Jin Kisaragi discover in this farce of a war?

'''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.

The game is currently released for the Taito Type X2 arcade system board, with a 16:9 ratio and 768p resolution and was released on November 19, in Japan and November 20, 2008 in the United States. It was released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 home consoles on June 25, 2009 in Japan. A port for the PlayStation Portable, titled BlazBlue Portable (ブレイブルーポータブル Bureiburū Pōtaburu), was released on February 25, 2010 in Japan. The PC version was released in Europe on August 20 and in Japan on August 26, 2010. The PlayStation Portable port was released in Europe on September 9, 2010. The PC port is a direct conversion of the Xbox 360 version, and contains cross-platform compatibility via the Games for Windows - Live service.

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.

Other game sequels include '''Blazblue: Chronophantasma''' and '''Blazblue: Central Fiction''' both released on various systems.

Additionally an anime adaptation titled '''Blazblue: Alter Memory''' was released for both '''Calamity Trigger''' and '''Continuum Shift''' 's main plot.

Lite novel adaptations for '''Calamity Trigger''' and '''Continuum Shift''' also exist and are listed below.

Two visual novel spinoffs titled '''Xblaze: Code Embryo''' and '''Xblaze: Lost Memories''' were released and are the original story to feature the character Es recently announced for '''Blazblue: Central Fiction'''. It is believed Nine and Celica A. Mercury make cameo appearances in Lost Memories as well.

A loosely linked spinoff, '''Blazblue: Bloodedge Experience''' was released in two parts and provides some questionable links and backstory to Blazblue featuring returning characters Relius Clover, Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, and Clavis Alucard and stars Naoto Kurogane, a new addition to the cast of '''Blazblue: Central Fiction'''.

'''Phase Shift''' is a novel series based on that game written by Komao Mako and the illustrations by Yuuki Katou. It provides insight into the backstory of the Dark War, the conflict with the Black Beast between 2100-2110 in Blazblue's timeline and culminated with the introduction of Celica A. Mercury to the game's plot in '''Chronophantasma''' as the final Phase Shift novel was released right before the game came out.

'''Bloodedge Experience''' came out between '''Chronophantasma''' and '''Central Fiction's''' game releases and before Naoto Kurogane's introduction as a playable character to Blazblue.

Additionally several canon short-stories were released in various formats, including inside Material Collections and Drama Cds.

==Organization==
Due to the convoluted and non-linear flow of how lore is presented in Blazblue, this site will organize the releases in '''order of release'''.

The ''BlazBlue'' series is also available in the following languages:

==Story Synopsis==
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 AD 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.

The games slowly develop Ragna's battle with his nemesis Yuuki Terumi and other fighters as various factions follow their agendas to harness the Azure, destroy the Master Unit: Amatarasu, or protect those they care for.

that make it possible for Naoto to see other people's Life Force in numerical values.

But his ordinary days ended when he met a girl with such high Life Force that she couldn't

him to get the hold of the Azure.

And so Naoto was dragged into a bloody battle surrounding the Azure." [From BB wikia; verify if from back cover]

==The ''BlazBlue: Sprial Shift'' Series==

'''Synopsis:'''
A light novel set during the Ikaruga Civil War!

=== Blazblue : Spiral Shift - Hyokujin no Eiyu (Rough translation: "Hero of the Ice Sword/Blade/Edge/etc" or "Ice Blade Wielding Hero") ===

[[Image:SpiralShift.jpg|thumb|Announcment Image]]

'''Synopsis:'''
The story follows the graduation of Jin Kisaragi from the Military Academy as he enlists to fight in the Second War of Ars Magus or the Ikaruga Civil War for the NOL. In this tale, some light is shed on the brutality of NOL in dealing with the insurrection of the Ikaruga Federation for freedom against the NOL hegemony and monopoly of Grimories. Being deployed to the most contested region with the most violent opposition, Jin must deal with social tensions of being a Duodecim member among lower-class allies with the tide turning against their forces. There is more than meets the eye to this war though, as Jin and his new unit encounter signs of Sector Seven (the other faction against the NOL) experiments. Not only that, but Jin's new unit, the 9th Unit or "The Hounds" exist to only weaken enemy forces enough so that higher-class units can sweep in and claim both the spoils and glory of war in a battlefield meant only to test new weapons and never to retreat or advance. What other hidden-agendas will Jin Kisaragi discover in this farce of a war?

'''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.

Other game sequels include '''Blazblue: Chronophantasma''' and '''Blazblue: Central Fiction''' both released on various systems.

Additionally an anime adaptation titled '''Blazblue: Alter Memory''' was released for both '''Calamity Trigger''' and '''Continuum Shift''' 's main plot.

Lite novel adaptations for '''Calamity Trigger''' and '''Continuum Shift''' also exist and are listed below.

Two visual novel spinoffs titled '''Xblaze: Code Embryo''' and '''Xblaze: Lost Memories''' were released and are the original story to feature the character Es recently announced for '''Blazblue: Central Fiction'''. It is believed Nine and Celica A. Mercury make cameo appearances in Lost Memories as well.

A loosely linked spinoff, '''Blazblue: Bloodedge Experience''' was released in two parts and provides some questionable links and backstory to Blazblue featuring returning characters Relius Clover, Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, and Clavis Alucard and stars Naoto Kurogane, a new addition to the cast of '''Blazblue: Central Fiction'''.

'''Phase Shift''' is a novel series based on that game written by Komao Mako and the illustrations by Yuuki Katou. It provides insight into the backstory of the Dark War, the conflict with the Black Beast between 2100-2110 in Blazblue's timeline and culminated with the introduction of Celica A. Mercury to the game's plot in '''Chronophantasma''' as the final Phase Shift novel was released right before the game came out.

'''Bloodedge Experience''' came out between '''Chronophantasma''' and '''Central Fiction's''' game releases and before Naoto Kurogane's introduction as a playable character to Blazblue.

Additionally several canon short-stories were released in various formats, including inside Material Collections and Drama Cds.

==Organization==
Due to the convoluted and non-linear flow of how lore is presented in Blazblue, this site will organize the releases in '''order of release'''.

==Alternative Languages==
The ''BlazBlue'' series is also available in the following languages:
*[[BlazBlue:Phase~Brazilian_Portuguese~|Português Brasileiro (Brazilian Portuguese)]]

(Note: Translation progress varies for each version.)

==Story Synopsis==
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 AD 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.

The games slowly develop Ragna's battle with his nemesis Yuuki Terumi and other fighters as various factions follow their agendas to harness the Azure, destroy the Master Unit: Amatarasu, or protect those they care for.

==The ''BlazBlue: Sprial Shift'' Series==

'''Synopsis:'''
A light novel set during the Ikaruga Civil War!

=== Blazblue : Spiral Shift - Hyokujin no Eiyu (Rough translation: "Hero of the Ice Sword/Blade/Edge/etc" or "Ice Blade Wielding Hero") ===

[[Image:SpiralShift.jpg|thumb|Announcment Image]]

'''Synopsis:'''
The story follows the graduation of Jin Kisaragi from the Military Academy as he enlists to fight in the Second War of Ars Magus or the Ikaruga Civil War for the NOL. In this tale, some light is shed on the brutality of NOL in dealing with the insurrection of the Ikaruga Federation for freedom against the NOL hegemony and monopoly of Grimories. Being deployed to the most contested region with the most violent opposition, Jin must deal with social tensions of being a Duodecim member among lower-class allies with the tide turning against their forces. There is more than meets the eye to this war though, as Jin and his new unit encounter signs of Sector Seven (the other faction against the NOL) experiments. Not only that, but Jin's new unit, the 9th Unit or "The Hounds" exist to only weaken enemy forces enough so that higher-class units can sweep in and claim both the spoils and glory of war in a battlefield meant only to test new weapons and never to retreat or advance. What other hidden-agendas will Jin Kisaragi discover in this farce of a war?

==BBEE Prologue: Rebirth==

Muscles around my brow strain. My eyelids... My eyelids were heavy. Extremely heavy...

Why? How come I am trying to open my eyes anyway? Even I'm not sure... Well, that's not it... Rather, thinking about it, it's a struggling similar to turning off manual breathing... I feel it's as if some natural aspect like breathing is now being consciously controlled.

My body feels compressed, chilling debris weighing my body down, disrupting my breathing.

[Ugh...]

My breath was caught in my lungs, the crushing weight forcing a liquid into my airway instead. It fills my mouth, leaking out over my lips. At the same time, I am overcome by the smell of iron or rust. I realize it's blood. It feels so warm... Or maybe my body temperature has lowered cooler than the blood... Now that I've noticed the feeling of temperature, I realize my body is stiff and paralyzed... My body does not even tremble in pain, fear, or shock... Slowly and steadily, my body grows heavier; it feels as if I am sinking, sinking into the ground...

(Is this... how it all ends...)

In the back of my mind, I realized the truth.
The end was near.
My dark blue surroundings are slowly devoured by darkness.
As my consciousness faded, instead of anything else, I recalled a face...
It was the smile of my childhood friend that always found time to take care of me.

(Ugh...if I get my clothes this dirty...you'll get angry...)

I don't want to make you upset if possible...
Lost in my thoughts
In the sinking darkness, a faint wind blew across my eyelids.
My consciousness slowly stirs back, subtly and slowly.
Standing before me was a lone girl.
Instead of my childhood friend's intoxicating smile, one that soothes like basking in sunlight; this young lady looking down on me is one with a black mantle and a cold, indifferent expression.

At her appearance, breath leaked out from my blood-filled mouth.
'Would everything be okay now?', I wondered.
The words I intended to mutter to her sunk deep into my throat like my body under the debris, disappearing before it can ever form.
Like a moon, the young lady turns her white toes toward my compressed body, she shrugs her shoulders under the mantle, amazed. While the gesture was modestly dissatisfied, it was indicative of her antipathy, her aversion to approaching, to my dying eyes.

The young lady had a faint smile float across her face. As if mockingly sneering, there was indeed a content look on her face as her eyes narrow and her small lips part:

"...would you like to survive?"

The embers of dissatisfaction reared it's ugly head within my cold, tattered body...the hell? Who do you think you are to sneer at one's misfortune?

However, out of the blue, my thoughts turned away from negativity.
'...would you like to survive?', I pondered the rude girls words. Of course!The answer is obvious! Yes, I want to survive!

(Because...there is someone who will worry if I do not return...)

Although vaguely, irritated thoughts of the immediate surroundings and misfortune were relegated to a small corner of my mind, rather the tension I should be feeling at the state of affairs was strangely distant from my concerns. Indeed my feelings were carefree as I worried about others.

The overlooking golden pupils, I wonder if she sees through my thoughts? Getting closer, the young lady bends down toward the pile of rubble where I lie, a smile gracing her thin lips carved into an expression contrary to her earlier antipathy. As she stooped down white knees teasingly escaped from her black mantle. For a moment those dazzling knees wrapped in transparent, fair skin ensnared my thoughts beyond what I could handle, like a enrapturing optical illusion.

A hand the same complexion of those captivating knees strokes my cheek not covered in debris.
Her face begins to move, as if to follow the fair-skinned hand.
It was as if she was moving in for a kiss.

The lips from that formerly indifferent countenance approach as if to touch my skin, whispering near my ear:

"If that is the case, then I will help you survive. But...find the '''Azure[Ao]'''. And then, me."

My eyelids, unable to bear the strain from the heavy weight, close shut. The next moment, within the darkness, I feel a new sharp, stabbing pain. A pain near my neck's side, blood trickling from a new wound, despite the rusty smelling crimson liquid only overflowing from my mouth earlier.

In the end, my consciousness fades. Slowly, I get swallowed by darkness. The darkness consumes me like an unseen beast, pulling me into the unknown depths. Yet contrary to popular conception, the darkness was comforting, like sinking into a warmed mud bath.

=====Notes=====
I'm using a system of '''Localized Term[Original Japanese Term]'''
For example:

*'''Azure[Ao]''' I'm not getting into the minutia of 'this Ao is written with a different character so I'm going to change the wording' instead I'll add context to differentiate it, if I catch it.
*'''Nox Nyctores[ArcEnemy]'''
*'''Novus Orbis Librarium[Void Information Bureau]''' (check Calamity Trigger's stage descriptions, they actually left this in)

If there are any new Mori chuuni terms, I may try to coin a localized term myself with some Latin, but might opt instead to use German instead to coincide with Naoto's German Motif 'Jaeger'.

This isn't a one-to-one translation as well, since BB has so much added localized features, so I made sure to add sensory detail so the flow is more akin to CT/CS localization rather than the more bland CP/CF localization. Still, I still have my grievances, like how Hakumen did not speak like a chuuni-af knight in Old English, but that doesn't matter to 99% of fans.
