I just remembered I had the idea a long time ago of the blazblue cast being in a show with gordon ramsey with a friend and I just remembered how silly the idea is.

>This< is the brush in question i said i’d link in the middle of the vid

and the song in question is Bullet Dance II From BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma

[nkn0va]

I half to ask, as a Blazblue fan, how the hell do you all put up with the story? I just saw a Blazblue retrospective, and even though it mostly focused on the major bits, it was still enough to possible give Metal Gear and KH a run for their money XD.

Actually playing the games helps out a lot, though I wouldn't blame someone for not wanting to play through Calamity Trigger lmao, the way it tells it's story is pretty ass. Personally I watched Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift on YouTube and played Chrono Phantasma and Central Fiction for myself. Also just casually scrolling through the wiki is pretty fun and keeps me well informed.

[gear-project]

Somewhat offtopic from Guilty Gear but do you consider BlazBlue to be a Cosmic Horror Story (aka Lovecraftian Horror)? It appears BlazBlue ticks a lot of the boxes and its cosmic horror nature is best shown with the reveal in Centralfiction that the original world (dubbed the Age of Origin) was actually destroyed by a war between humans and Prime Field Devices that gained sentience and Turned Against Their Masters, which can all be traced to humanity finding the Susanoo Unit and later the Amaterasu Unit after having dug deep into the Earth and wanting to explore the Boundary, and that the whole universe is at the mercy of a war between the Master Unit and Terumi, and Terumi was the cause of all of that, which goes to show how humanity was largely powerless against Terumi.

Aside the fact I technically answered a similar question and even compared it with Guilty Gear, the topics concerning what happened "prior" to BlazBlue and even Xblaze are still somewhat up for speculation, especially with how Dark War reinterprets several characters.

And we still technically do NOT know how Entropy Effect will interpret BlazBlue as well, though that in and of itself might just be an isolated spinoff, it's still ambitious to think it might contribute to the saga in its own ways.

Central Fiction itself reveals that the Azure itself is the point of Origin, not necessarily the Contact Mediums. It was that Boundary Power that created "Possibility" and "Sentience" in Machines (not unlike how Gears are created from Magic fused in bodies connected with the Backyard and eventually gained sentience, if not retained it themselves).

It would be more accurate to say that the Sankishin are man-made devices that Mankind created FOR exploring the Boundary but ultimately GAINED sentience from exposure to that Boundary.

You can parallel this with how the Universal Will was a created in the Backyard: an artificial body of information built to study and maximize Mankind's true potential but ended up mirroring Mankind's true paradoxical nature.

Terumi (as the Susanooh unit) is the result of a sentient being rebelling against their "true purpose" and desiring to carve their own purpose. In that regard, he is ironically more human than he would ever care to admit.

Even the Master Unit was bound to a "human purpose" and was very limited in how she could defy or rebel against that purpose or "directive". It took the Black Beast to organize a rebellion that could take away that purpose and give her true freedom from the shackles of Human Desire, even at the cost of its own existence.

Neither the Boundary nor the Backyard are necessarily something "deep underground", but rather a space outside the physical realm which they might partially define or comprise.

Even if most "Sheol Gates" are underground in BlazBlue's case... some of those gates have appeared in the sky far above as well (which is how Amaterasu manifested in Chrono Phantasma at one point).

As for how much of that you could define as "horror" or even of Lovecraft's influence is also somewhat debatable, as most of it more or less sets the "backdrop" of a story that isn't always defined by horror as a genre.

Just like you wouldn't say that the Backyard is entirely a "horrible place" just because someone like Izuna or even Slayer have lived there at one point, or even Bedman. It's just a place that partially "defines" what the world is... it isn't something all too Eldritch-like (even if it can sometimes create Demihuman and Horror-like traits in individuals).

As stated in the Boundary's case, though, the Azure itself embodies Possibility: just as that can create "dark possibilities", it can just as easily create "light possibility": Good Fortune, not always Bad.

I'd also make a comparison to Soul Calibur's Astral Chaos... a realm outside the physical that is pulled in both directions by both the Essence of Light (and potential Virtues) and the Pull and Allure of Darkness (and potential Desires). Neither value define the place, but they do largely influence it... much like the Flame of Corruption and the Scales of Juno once did.

Granted, some places DO cross dimensions like Lovecraft is fond of using as a plot device, but they do not always follow the same tropes as such works might be known for.
