Ragna

Story


Ragna the Bloodedge is the main protagonist of the BlazBlue series from Calamity Trigger to Central Fiction. Also known as the Grim Reaper, he is feared by the NOL for being the most powerful individual to have ever rebelled against them since the Ikaruga Civil War. His actions, which included destroying countless number of their branches, have labeled him the most wanted criminal and caused him to receive the largest bounty ever in the history of the NOL. He possesses a powerful form of ars magus called the Azure Grimoire, or simply referred to as the titular BlazBlue, which is often either the secondary or primary target of those after him and his bounty. His ultimate goal is to destroy the NOL, for he blames them for destroying his family. He is Jin Kisaragi's biological brother, whose rivalry with him stems from an incident that happened when their sister Saya was presumably killed. His right arm is mechanical because his real one was cut off by Terumi, who had taken control of Jin's mind. He was resurrected by Rachel as a dhampir, causing one of his green eyes to turn red and his once-blond hair to white. The BlazBlue he possesses is only a fragment of an imitation; the true Grimoire is actually destined to be wielded by Noel Vermillion. But in Continuum Shift, Ragna is given the Idea Engine by a dying Lambda which enabled him to access the true Azure. He realizes that Saya is possessed by Izanami and decides to give up vengeance to protect his loved ones in Chrono Phantasma, and later in Central Fiction decides to protect the girl inside Amaterasu from the entitled. He and Jin (including his future-past counterpart Hakumen) soon learned that Noel/Mu is indeed Saya's good half, whose soul transferred to the doll's body during Relius' experiment on her, leaving her evil half of what become Izanami took over her original body complete. Once Mu and Noel merge together, he helps Noel (in her Mu form) to merge Izanami back to her, with the help of Nine's sacrifice. With the help of Jin and Trinity after Ragna separates the Susano'o armor from Terumi, Jin (while donning the Susano'o armor by Trinity in his future-past/Hakumen form) transports Ragna and Terumi to the Azure void where Ragna can kill him for good. Once all evils are finished, and after helping Noel merge with the Origin to become Saya again, Ragna's last act is to cease himself into the cauldron, to make sure the Azure never falls into the wrong hands, before saying goodbye to his beloved siblings and telling Amane that he has no regrets at all, as he disappeared leaving only his sword, which is later put to the hill where it is less far away from Celica's church as his grave. Whether or not he truly dies, even his sword recently disappeared from his (arguably) grave in the final ending scene is as yet unknown. He is also hinted not to be a natural born human due to his unusual features, like a tattoo on his chest like Noel has and is eventually revealed to be one of the children of the 5th prime field device who mated with a black beast. Ragna's weapon is called Blood-Scythe, a giant sword that can extend into a scythe. His Drive, Soul Eater, enables him to absorb a portion of the damage dealt to replenish his health.
