TRYING TO RECALL THE PLOT OF: Blazblue Continuum Shift 

It's ok, even Mori himself doesn't understand the plot.

I love how Majikura struggles to remember events but can immediately recall every single anime-ass name like it's nothing.

"Oh hey, You're the __________" "Nah, That's just a name the Public offices just gave to me for propaganda purposes"

When in doubt always remember Space Jenova was the culprit, no questions asked

You forgot the part where Lamba getsherself killed so she could give Ragna the idea engine, while talking like Nu

I animated those sprites for the fighters generation back in 2010, man time flies.

Everything is true but also false. So Literally Everything Happened. And then nothing happened at all.

The answer, is that, You can’t...

Damn, if people knew the Sega Dreamcast was this powerful, it would’ve sold better.

L A D Y B O N E R

This was the game i got into the blazblue series, its such a beautiful shit storm or story

Oh man....the "try to recall" of calamity trigger still had some semblance of coherence,this...this...it's one of the most glorious trainwrecks i've ever seen...great vid and i hope you continue up to central fiction....even i have trouble explaining THAT one

I’m surprised at how coherent these videos are, given how much of a mess you’re sorting through. I’ll try and correct some mistakes and elaborate on a few things since I think I have an okay grasp of the plot: You ignored Relius’ general role in the story of the game. He mainly just helps Terumi though. Jin doesn’t get teleported after he fights Ragna. You kind of touched on this, but essentially, what happens is that at the end of one of the previous timelines, more specifically, the very first timeline, Jin got sent back in time to the beginning because he fell into the cauldron, just like Ragna and Nu went back and became the Black Beast. He survives the time reset, and then Rachel turned him into Hakumen. Notes that in this timeline, Jin and Tsubaki were even closer than they are in the current timeline. Bang’s master (Lord Tenjo) isn’t actually alive, her heir (Homura) is alive. (Note that Bang’s master is actually a woman and the heir is of nonbinary/unspecified gender. The English translation of the games fuck this one up by referring to Bang’s master and her heir both as male). I believe Plat just told him about the true powers of his nail, and he uses it in Chronophantasma. You skipped a little over a lot of the Jin/Tsubaki storyline. Most importantly, you missed how the reason Tsubaki was ordered to capture Noel is so that Terumi could turn her into Mu. You also missed Jin realizing the NOL is fucked up and he’s being manipulated by Terumi, which is a big part of his development in CS. You also completely forgot the fact that Lambda had Nu’s soul inside her. that was what motivated her to sacrifice yourself in order to give Ragna the IDEA engine. That parody of Rachel‘s conversation with Takamagahara is absolutely perfect and captures most of the cryptic bullshit in the series, lmao. Takamagahara isn’t just “simulating” the timelines. They are actually running a ton of different parallel timelines at once, because they have a limited degree of control over the universe, though still subordinate to the master unit which is basically a god. Terumi created all the Azure Grimoires. He doesn’t simply have one, the entire artificial hose body that he uses, Hazama, IS one. Ragna’s is an incomplete prototype compared with the completed one that is Hazama. Ragna didn’t kill Terumi/Hazama. In fact, due to a spell Terumi used to link them, he can’t kill him unless he also kills Noel, which he isn’t going to do. I’m surprised how much you managed to get right, though. I considered doing a correction for the previous video but I’m not gonna bother at this point

I died at Ragna's fake blazblue!

Nailing the plot perfectly, right down to your own rewinds. LOL

8:33 that GTA edit of Sector 7 was hilarious

This video made me realise how much meme potential Hazama's sprites have. 5:51 for example

This was such a disaster, a deplorable attempt to say the least. Yet your futile struggle to fathom the plot is amusing to observe...

BlazBlue screws around with time travel so hard that you can actually hear the Doctor in the TARDIS crying their eyes out every time someone tries to understand it.

All this talk about time travel, swords, robot people, multiple time lines, and a giant energy beam, yet not a single Trunks in sight.

Summary of continuum shift: *I JUST DESTROYED THEIR ASS BY THE POWER OF MATHEMATICS* -Hazama/Terumi from the anime

Shorter version, “snake man kills computer so confusing shit will stop fucking up story”.

This series is beautiful Can't wait for CP plot recall video

okay, i was understanding EVERYTHING in calamity trigger, but now i was just "?" lmaaao

I love the story of these games so much. the true ending of blazblue central fiction was golden and heartbreaking.

And there was I complaining kingdom hearts had a convoluted plot...

5:44 OHH!!! FUUUUUUUCK!!!!

And this is BEFORE the story became an unholy clusterfuck with more spinoffs and supplementary novels than Star Wars.

08:35."...They're rolling around....doing science" - line of the week *ROFL*

Now you need to do a "Trying to Make Sense (and Failing) of The Plot of Blazblue: Central Fiction"

When you play Central Fiction and it recaps the entire story in 30 mins with shocking clarity lol

5:30 This whole thing took place before Hazama kidnaps Noel, while Ragna is on his way to the Cauldron to fight Nu-13.

"He gets teleported to moonlit wilderness " lol it's funny because that stages soundtrack is my ultimate gaming song

Blazblue: It's pretty much Kingdom Hearts as long as you don't think too hard on the plot.

This makes my day honestly, just, hearing this so badly explained, yet still well explained, and now I just need need CP before I can start CF story, btw am the only one that wants just a video of Hakumen, Lambda, and Tager just partying for some reason down the street.

Blazblue: hazama does some trolling

For Jin, that's wrong... technically. That happens when Jin tries to follow Ragna into the boundary when Nu stabbed him. And Terumi made two blazblue's. Noel is Saya - the real Saya. Izanami is Saya's evil half and Noel is the good half. The only real clones are Nu and Lambda.

You mean to tell me that the 3 Murakumo sisters talking to Platinum about ass is canon?!

Rock Band timeline is the one true timeline

Most of this Continuum Shift plot recall is a plot recall of Calamity Trigger

At least Chronophantasma is an easy plot to follow, like Azrael and Tsubaki are both fucking shit up and the good guys band together and fix both their problems at once and Ragna goes back in time to meet best girl, Celica, that's about it

YAAAAAASSSSSS I have no idea if this is right since the plot is so complicated, but I love this!

You didn't bring up lichti still chasing after her senpai arakune but i understand why you wouldn't because it's pointless

Can’t wait for chronophantasma and central fiction vids if it’s possible to recall them

Well, actually Noel is the Calamity Trigger that brings about the Continuum Shift, as in the shift from the time loop to everything that happens after the time loop breaks. So technically everything that happens after the instant Noel pulls Ragna out of the cauldron is part of the Continuum Shift, including Chrono Phantasma and Central Fiction. Basically the plot of BBCS is resolving which of endless possibilities do we follow now that fate isn't set in stone like it was during the time loop.

I remember coming into the series here thinking it's confusing only to realise they all are pretty wild VN Fighters when playing the others. Please do more of these complicated plot games, it's amazing to see how people remember them out of context!

REPLAYING ALL THE GAMES IN A ROW IS A PAIN, BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER EVERYTHINGS. THIS INCLUDRS THE XBLAZE SERIES

Correction: tagamakahara isn't a part of/sided with the master unit. They were created to try and beat the master unit, and it's more of a "enemy of my enemy"/"it's our world too yaknow!" kinda deal. Edit: forgot the point of the video when I made this comment lol.

All right, you're actually making Blazblue hilariously make sense. SUBSCRIBED~! I hope you follow up with these videos for the other games because Continuum Shift was the last one I actually played so I have no clue what the hell is going on with yellow cloak Terumi, Hazama, and Susanoo who are like....All....The same person?? Except...Not really.

REWIND THE CLOCK

These are hands down the best explanations of the Blazblue series

All of this clock rewinding is actually very fitting for a discussion of CS's story.

8:38 - This frame will never bore me

So I'm gonna need the image of Tager, Lambda and Hakumen shooting and fucking shit up...

Trying to Recall the Plot of: Rewind the Clock KEKW

"Hakumen is Jin from the future, who is in the past, therefore Hakumen in the present is now Jin from the past in the future" Brilliant. Brilliant, I say xD

Yeah sounds about right

5:52 Hop! Hop!

You struck gold on this one. This was A+.

The Takamagahara is not run by the Master Unit. The Takamagahara system was created by makind in order to manipulate space and time, and to preserve the existence of humanity against the intervention phenomena caused by the Amaterasu. They were responsible for the time loops in Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift. The Continuum Shift is also not a program run by the Takamagahara. The Continuum Shift was a phenomenon caused by Noel Vermillion after she inherited the Azure and the power of the eye. As she wasn't able to control it, she caused a problem with all the possibilities of the world. The Takamagahara System then observed all of the possibilities of the Continuum Shift and interfered in order to get closer to the Azure (hence all endings being canon, the shift occured when things did not occur in their favor), using Terumi as pawn (that's why they released him after the end of Calamity Trigger) Terumi then manipulated Noel, and completed the smelting process started in Ikaruga on 2194 (the beginning of Calamity Trigger story mode), thus, creating the godslayer Mu -12-, in order to kill Amaterasu (this is a foreshadowing of who Terumi really is).

this video is a timeloop basically

that was entertaining to watch. fun as i was remembering stuff when you were so you were like "oh then there's that!" and in my mind i was "oh yea and that was because of that?!".

The story of all 4 games is quite simple. but trying to recall every important event is hard as balls.

I actually enjoy these videos about BlazBlue so much!

I hate Central Fiction story, I thought that they will move on with the time loop but nope, it is just another time line with a bunch of additional characters.

I think Majikura would have an easier time if he just attempted the series all at once. Trying to remember what alternate timelines, unstable time loops, and stable time loops are in which game is hella hard.

oh it is a great day to see a recall the plot again and seeing Jenova appear as a fill in the blank monster

I just realized he completely forgot about Phantom's existence

Thank you, it all makes sense now

It only gets more and more confusing

this series was already the best but those BB videos are even better

omg you guys did it! congratulations! I love it!

Hazama doesn't have a BlazBlue, he is a BlazBlue. I think

*still waiting for continuum shift to start

This is so fun to watch! Please keep the good work! 👍

I guess the writer really loves the robot clone girls 'saya' ???

I just bought the game for the Vita recently. I barely understand the plot but I still love the game. Hope you guys do Chronophantasma!

And now everything makes sense... forever.

Grade A sprite usage! 👌

9:40 this part cracks me up for some reason

Man, these are so funny. Cant wait for them to do Central Fiction

2:00 "The major problem [with time travel] is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be described differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is further complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father."

The only thing i remember of the plot...of all Blazblue games is when i won as Ragna.....in the following scene he lost...is that right ?

x3 You guys rewind time in the plots between CS and CT as much as the plot itself does!

Clear and concise

Just blame Trunks for everything. Simpler story

The real easy character to follow is Azrael. All that man wants to do is fight literally _anybody_ he comes across. Majikura would have a breeze going through his story. And a hype boner.

I NEED the next two episodes 😂

...and here I thought Kingdom Hearts had the most confusing story...

Oh yeah, Terumi doesn't fire space genova on Kagutsuchi, Takahamagara does. *spoiler alert* Every time the timeloop in calamity trigger happened, the takahamagara triggered space genova to blow up the anomaly, killing Ragna in the process and forcing original Saya in the Amaterasu Master unit to rewind time. So Rachel had to use the Tsukuyumi unit to shield the blast, which is the only time the mechanical god that shields time is ever used.

Can't wait for Chronophantasma.

What in the goddamn...?

I LOVE BLAZBLUE....the game...becase the history is FREAKING STUPID, its like watching 10 harem/light novel/school/shonen animes AT THE SAME TIME. (not to mention every characters looks like a ripoff of another franchise) But gameplay wise is one of the most addicting and unique fighting games i ever played

Good luck explaining naoto,es and mai in cf

I hope they do all of these

So great 😆! Love this series.

So what this game should be called is BLAZEBLUE Schrodinger's Cat in this recap

After Continuum Shift BlazBlue story went to down hill.

Are you going to do a try to recall of black ops zombies story?

I play this game until the end but i didn't understand the true lore because TIME LOOPS
