Overview

Hades Izanami is an immortal being, death incarnate, and the true main antagonist of the BlazBlue series, as well as the former Imperator of the Novus Orbis Librarium. Using Ragna's sister, Saya, as a vessel, her goal is to reduce everything in the universe to nothing. She first appears as a playable character in BlazBlue: Central Fiction.

Drive: Sharin (Exodus Arc)

Izanami has two modes, and can switch between them by pressing the D button:

Normal Mode: In this mode, she has access to followups after C attacks by just pressing C again.
Active Mode: In this mode, Izanami activates her special unit, Yasakani No Magatama. She gains the ability to shoot projectiles with 2D, 4D and 6D. However, the projectiles have to recharge after being used, and Izanami won't be able to block. If Izanami is hit, active mode immediately ends (Meaning you will be able to block normally once the combo against you finishes).

Unique Ability: Float

Unlike most characters, instead of a double jump, Izanami has the ability to float. While floating, Izanami can use her ground normals, special moves & even dash while in the air. However, she cannot create an actual double jump even when floating. Floating has a set time limit relative to how far from the ground she is, but Izanami can cancel the float at any time by inputting a jump motion. While floating at any height, all standing moves can be blocked with a high or low block. During this time she is still considered airborne for the purposes of moves that check the state of the player (E.g. ground throw moves can't hit her, and her own throw moves behaves like an air throw)

Overdrive: Zekkai (Arc Force)

Izanami has full access to the abilities of both modes at the same time and shortens the recharge time on her D attacks and specials. She can also perform her D special moves during her attacks. However there is a limitation where her Exodus arc weapon cannot be doing two things at the same time. So for instance, if you fire then using 6D, you cannot use your C followup attacks or block until the projectiles have disappeared from the screen.

Pros/Strengths

Ability to change modes between rushdown and zoning allows for a versatile playstyle.
Float ability provides unparalleled movement.
Can restore a portion of her HP and Barrier Gauges through her Distant Affection special move.
Shield of dreams can be used to get free mixups for a short period.

Cons/Weaknesses

Unorthodox mobility.
Active state and Shield of Dreams can easily be a liability if used incorrectly.
Below-average health.
High execution barrier.

Command Throw On hit, Time is frozen for opponent for 3 seconds. During this time Izanami can freely attack and her opponent will be unable to block and will be completely routed to the spot for the duration. During timestop, the round timer is frozen and no gauges that normally increase or deplete with time of any kind will do so (I.e. Burst, Overdrive (!) barrier, heat when low on health, character specific gauges etc...) Hitting your opponent with a distortion drive or exceed accel ends the time stop. Throws of any kind performed during time stop will simply miss. All hits during frozen time are considered one combo regardless of the moves used. Afterwards, opponent crumples to the floor. Dispels Shield of Dreams on hit. A fairly terrifying command throw when combined with shield of dreams due to your opponent being forced to go on the defensive while it lasts. If you do manage to hit with it you'll preserve your remaining barrier without needing to risk using bulwark.

Izanami gathers energy then performs a pose that freezes time around the opponent, allowing her to deal extra hits. During timestop, the round timer is frozen and no gauges that normally increase or deplete with time of any kind will do so (I.e. Burst, Overdrive (!) barrier, heat when low on health, character specific gauges etc...) Hitting your opponent with a distortion drive or exceed accel ends the time stop. Throws of any kind performed during time stop will simply miss. In Overdrive, the time for activation is noticeably shorter. Unblockable, your opponent must notice the startup for this move and stuff it to avoid taking damage.

Izanami uses her magatama to create a whirlwind of souls that launches the opponent into the air, then leaps after them. Still holding onto the opponent, she sends them plummeting to the ground as seven giant, ghostly skulls surround them both. The skulls converge on the opponent, sending them into the underworld while leaving Izanami unharmed.
