"Hmph. Do your best to not get in my way..."
Backstory
Jin is one of the main characters of BlazBlue, younger brother of the main protagonist Ragna the Bloodedge, and the wielder of the Nox Nyctores weapon "Yukianesa." After Yuuki Terumi's attack on Jin and Ragna's childhood household which left them seperated, Jin was found and adopted by the prestigious Kisaragi family. As a teenager in the NOL Military Academy, Jin was popular and stoic, being seen as a model student by all. Jin is a very composed person that usually acts somewhat cold when interacting with others, but deep down is secretly competitive, ambitious, and yearns for emotional attachment. Though usually disinterested in others, he has opened himself up on occasion to become friends with former classmates at the Academy, holding a particular soft spot toward Tsubaki Yayoi, Jin's long-time childhood friend and currently his personal secretary. Now called the "Hero of Ikagura," Jin has become an esteemed major with his own unit, and is an exceptional soldier, commander and martial artist.
Playstyle
Jin is a very well-rounded rushdown character with a wide variety of tools to handle any situation and conquer the neutral game. His "Hishou-" and "Musou-" ranged options allow him to both poke at and approach his opponents comfortably, while giving him fantastic pressure when up close. Jin's normals and BnB combos also have very solid damage, with his Crash Assault being particularly fast and deceptive. Additionally, Jin has a great set of assists, while also being able to deal with 1v1's and 1v2's relatively comfortably, making him superb as both a Point and an Anchor. Overall, Jin has no outstanding weaknesses besides having slightly lower range on his normals when compared to fighters such as Ruby or Gordeau, but his projectile tools and decent speed generally make up for this trivial flaw.

Weaknesses
|
- Great damage overall.
- Very well-rounded character with surprisingly decent speed that has a tool for almost any situation, giving him a good matchup spread.
- One of the fastest and least reactable 5C's in the game.
- His j.C's hitbox covers a circle that surrounds Jin, which is useful for combos and cross-ups.
- His projectile setups are great for setting up crossups when assaulting your opponent.
- Solid 5A smart combo that launches Jin's opponent in the opposite direction he was facing, which can help Jin put opponents in the corner.
- Diverse set of phenomenal assists, allowing him to work well with almost any team member.
- Large vertical hitboxes on his distortions, with his Touga distortion in particular having very fast startup and little recovery frames.
- Jin in Level 4 Resonance, combined with his relatively safe ability to apply high chip damage through his Touga distortion, is one of the most dangerous comeback characters in the game.
|
- Somewhat lower range compared to other characters.
- His "Hishou-" projectiles can disappear from the screen if he gets hit.
- Although his DP has good vertical range, its horizontal range leaves a lot to be desired.
- Playing Jin will cost you friendships.
- No other noteworthy weaknesses.
