BBCP Story Thread [Old]

[Halcyone3]

Rachel is still an observer, but she turned down the Observer of the Boundary position. She acts as Hakumen's observer throughout CS and still does phenomena intervention.

Valkenhayn honestly feels affection and admiration towards Rachel. He views himself as her servant. I think Gii and Nago are just animated, shape shifting plushies. Or in Nago's case an umbrella.

Im pretty damn sure Nago's original form is a cat, a big fat "plushy" cat (the form he takes in the rachel intro where she walks in through a heart shaped door and then uses him as steps). I have no idea where, but I'm fairly certain its mentioned that he's a cat.

Can you link this?

There are a lot of matches here without any commentary or skipping of dialogue in general, too.

Did you write in the wrong thread again?

[darkblade77]

Nope, not this time! Read the quoted post.

Ragna being artifically created is pretty much a fact awaiting official confirmation at this point. Jin? It's very possible. Saya? Your guess is as good as mine. Jin has a birthplace listed in England, though, so...

I wouldn't be surprised if that part of his bio was a sham or is gonna get retconned. Some of the bio information can't possibly be right (such as Jubei being born in the 12th Hierarchical City of Kukunochi).

@Halcyone3: Could be, although he doesn't spend a whole lot of time as a cat anymore, haha.

[Chaoschao222]

Couldn't be born there as in couldn't be born in that location, or just that Jubei predates the bulding of the Hierarchical Cities?

[harmless kitten]

Jubei was born long before the first Hierarchical City was built (unless some things have changed), so he couldn't be born at the 12th Hierarchical City.

[Chaoschao222]

He coulda still been born at that location, however. Giving the same location a different name due to era could be even more confusing, so maybe they just chose to call it by its current designation as a city, and Jubei coulda just been some kitty born on a mountain.

[harmless kitten]

He could be, but I think it would've made more sense if they had just put it as Japan or something. Other characters have birthdates that are just countries (Jin, Noel, Carl, Rachel, Bang), so I don't see why he couldn't. Kukunochi just seems like a headscratcher.

[Yazumatto]

Where's the birth location info coming from? o_O

[harmless kitten]

The bios on the official site (for playable characters and JP only), and the bios from the Setting Material Collections. Jubei is in the first, I think.

[TPPR10]

Thinking about the new characters, the character I want to know most of is, believe it or not, Amane. The reason for that is because he has, in terms of character relationships, least amough of impact. The only characters we know he has some sort of relations are Carl, and if his vs intro has nothing to say, Bullet.

[Yaaay]

Jin comes from England.

Noel comes from Switzerland.

Rachel comes from Transylvania (Romania).

Taokaka comes from her Kakaland.

Litchi comes from Shanghai.

Carl comes from Austria.

Tsubaki comes from the 3rd Hierarchical city.

Platinum comes from the 9th Hierarchical city.

Relius comes from the 2nd Hierarchical city.

Nu comes from the 13th Hierarchical city.

Mu comes from the 13th Hierarchical city (but she's Noel now anyway).

All the others are unknown (Bang's I just couldn't read...somethingland).

I believe that Platinum's birthplace (9th city) is in France.

[Chaoschao222]

Akitsu is the BB capital of France, yeah.

[harmless kitten]

Bang was born in Hi-no-Kuni, "country of fire". Makoto was born in the 11nd Hierarchical City of Shinatsu.

Many characters are listed as unknown. Ragna, Hakumen, Hazama, Valkenhayn, Amane, Azrael, Bullet.

i agree, "leader of a dance troup" just doesnt seem deep enough for blazblue, sorry if this has been said already but what happens in amane's arcade ending?

[Ctrlaltwtf]

OH. GOD.

Google Images is bad enough as it is already!

[Yazumatto]

The characters that were born in actual countries confused me since I wasn't aware those places existed in BB land.

[Tokkan]

They don't. The countries were just slapped in to the profiles back when the plot wasn't as developed as it is now, and Mori and co are too lazy to change them now.

[Yazumatto]

...that makes more sense now.

[Zedar90]

They did at least before. Didn't the Black Beast first emarge in japan?

[Tokkan]

Yes, and then it proceeded to ravage Eurasia.

[kylehyde]

From what I can tell no country has ever been mentioned by name only Japan and only in the phase books. But it kind of makes me wonder, all of the story if we go by the countries takes place in Europe/Asia. So what happened to the Americas? Was it wiped out in the BB universe?

It was said that the Black Beast wiped out half the world. Timeline from CSSMC says it emerged in Japan and went on its rampage in Eurasia before being killed off on January 1st 2110. No mention of the Americas. Assumeably, they were untouched. Of course, they were still kinda "destroyed" in the sense that seithr now covers the entire world, not just the part the Black Beast touched.
