Overview

"I am the white void... I am the cold steel... I am the just sword... With blade in hand I shall reap the sins of this world and cleanse it with the fires of destruction. I am Hakumen... The end has come!"

Backstory

Hakumen is the former leader of the Six Heroes of the Six Heroes who combated the Black Beast and ended the Dark War in the series` backstory almost a century ago. After the war, Hakumen found himself in a battle with Yuuki Terumi, who had betrayed the other five heroes. Nearly completely defeated, and seeing no other choice, he sacrificed himself by forcefully sealing both him and Terumi away in the boundary. 100 years later, Kokonoe salvages a portion of his existence from the boundary, whereupon he resumes his quest for justice and to exact revenge on Terumi. Hakumen's sword is a Nox Nyctores weapon named the "Slaying Demon: Okami." By channeling the Susano'o Unit's limitless energy and abilities, it is powerful enough to slash through and erase one's existence from time itself. This gives Hakumen the means to kill beings otherwise considered immortal, which designates him as one of the most dangerous and deadliest warriors to face in the Blazblue universe.

Mysteriously similar to Jin Kisaragi, Hakumen is a very serious individual who is usually extremely focused on the task at hand and rarely shows any emotion beyond stoicism. As such, he comes across as rather cold and apathetic in his interactions with others. With an unfaltering will to accomplish his goals, Hakumen approaches every fight with a calm disposition, engaging with absolute precision to achieve victory.

Playstyle

Strengths/Weaknesses

Drive: Zanshin

In BlazBlue, Hakumen could cancel Skills into other Skills, but all Skills costed some meter. In BBTag, Hakumen's Skills don't cost meter, but canceling from one into another costs 1 Skill Gauge. This means canceling from a Skill to an Extra Skill costs 2 Skill Gauges! Each Skill can only be used once per string, with normal and EX versions counting the same.

Cutting Projectiles

Hakumen's sword cuts through projectiles and creates a floating orb that can damage the opponent or be used as a shield against other projectiles. ALL of Hakumen's attacks that use the blade of the sword have this property, from Normals, to Skills, to Distortions. See here for more info.
