Overview

Kagura Mutsuki is an NOL General, and the head of the Duodecim's Mutsuki family, who is secretly plotting to overthrow the NOL. He is an unlockable character in the console version of BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, unlocked by beating the true ending in the story mode.

Drive: Black Gale

Kagura's drive allows him to enter three different stances. Each stance comes with its own set of unique moves that can be chained together once consecutively (5Dx>2Dx>6Dx), once a stance is used in a D chain, it cannot be used until coming out of stance (5Dx>2Dx>5Dx does not work).

Overdrive: Infinite Coupling

  • Removes the limit on stance cancels in D attack strings
  • Can dash cancel all C and D attacks except for 3C and 5DB
  • 5DC launches upwards instead of behind
  • 6DC slides the opponent across the screen
  • 2DC causes untechable knockdown
  • [4]1236C gets a additional follow-up attack
  • 28D deal more hits and damages


Pros/Strengths

  • Massive, sweeping normals
  • Very high average damage
  • Stance cancels provide tricky mixup and mind games
  • Almost all combos can end in fireball okizeme
  • Certain moves have super armor
  • Has one of the best reversals in the game


Cons/Weaknesses

  • Very poor mobility
  • Fastest pokes have pitiful range
  • Is very heavily momentum based. He will either decisively steal a match, or get hopelessly blown up
  • Nearly all high damage combos must be in a corner
  • Has arguably the worst mid range game in the entire roster. Characters with strong footsies give him a very hard time
  • Struggles against fast mixup characters (Taokaka, Valkenhayn, etc...)

Not stance cancelable. Jump cancelable on block/hit. Has more range than one would expect and leads to great damage, making it an excellent punish. Can be used to pre-emptively stuff pokes for a CH into 6C, but beware of throwing it out at neutral because it has long recovery on whiff.

Dissipates rapidly after Kagura is hit. You can use the projectile as an okizeme tool, the B version starts as the A version, but the further it travels, the more hits it gets (Min 2, Max 5). Has Vacuum effect, which is negated if the opponent IB barriers. Grants small frame advantage on A version, massive frame advantage on B version if it travles far enough. Can be used for both: a combo extender and for okizeme.

C version launches them directly up, and is untechable untill knockdown on CH. Incredibly unsafe on block.

Kagura attacks the opponent with two slashes as black and purple lightning courses around his sword. He points his sword toward the sky and a cinematic occurs where his sword emits a large pillar of black energy. There is a zoomed in shot on Kagura's face which pans out as he delivers the final blow by crashing his sword down on the downed opponent. Incredibly easy to combo into from moves such as 3C, and just about any stance move, most notably 2DC.
