BlazBlue/Trivia

Acting for Two: Noel, Nu, Lambda, Mu and Imperator Saya; Jin and Hakumen.
Actor Allusion: Ragna got a Gintoki costume as DLC, whom Tomokazu Sugita had previously voiced. It also led to this parody video.
Doing It for the Art: The only explanation for Idle Animations in a fighting game. They will never be seen in normal/serious gameplay.
Executive Meddling: Arc Systems does not like it when people post Blazblue videos on youtube. Not even gameplay videos. Good luck finding those gag endings, normally only one or two of them are available online at a time, if you are lucky.
Fan Nickname
- The T.O.P. Hat: Carl Clover's Nice Hat, coined from one of Garou: Mark of the Wolves' system mechanics.
- Evil Simon: Jin Kisaragi, named for the titular role of his voice actor Tetsuya Kakihara
  - The Ice Car: Jin's QCB+ C attack.
- Robo-Dizzy: Nu -13-
- Future-Jin: Hakumen.
- Boobie Lady: Resident Chinese Girl Litchi Faye Ling. Due to her Stripperiffic clothes that reveal a good portion of her big boobs, combined with how Taokaka, the resident ditz called her.
  - Also "Rawrgna" or "Ragnya" for Ragna, another Taokaka creation.
  - Another good one is "No-Titty Lady" for Noel.
- Shitty Kitty: Taokaka.
- C-Men: Hakumen.
- Nu-Gundam: v -13-'s 4th color in her DLC pack is a Gundam.
- Gay Man: Bang wearing his pink costume. His butt whistles when he flies!
- Clap Loop/The Clapper: Again, Carl. This involves positioning Nirvana right behind the opponent and repeatedly keeping the opponent juggled in the air while throwing them. Only certain characters can escape this loop, and only under certain circumstances.
- Smooth Criminal: Hazama.
  - Also, Trollzama.
- Moel: Noel Vermillion.
- NoBoobs and NoPersonality, also for Noel.
- Lamb-Chan: Lambda-11, Nu-13's much-nerfed replacement in Continuum Shift.
  - Lambchop over in America.
- Hakumen vi Britannia, for his new voice clips in Continuum Shift which sound like Lelouch.
  - There's also Jin vi Kisaragi.
- Hype Dog: The Ensemble Darkhorse big fluffy dog that appears in one of the backgrounds in Continuum Shift. Shown here.
- Asstral Finish: Mu's Astral Heat, both for poor animation quality and gratuitous ass shot.
- Assdrill Finish/Asstroll Finish: Relius' Astral Heat, where it's heavily implied he rapes the opponent. Since the first footage of it was done on Ragna, the first one seems to be the more popular.

No Export for You: BlayzBloo didn't get a European release.
One of Us: The localizing team did a pretty good job of translating all the medals/achievements in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II and still managed to add in a few Incredibly Lame Puns. Twelve of these medals involve Legion Mode, a mode where the player has to go through anywhere between one to dozens of bases on a map, where the number of bases depends on the difficulty of the map, and fight the characters occupying these bases. Guess what's the name of the medal awarded for clearing the highest difficulty? It's called What You Say. Yup, One of Us.
Pigeonholed Voice Actor: This is not the first time Yuuichi Nakamura voiced a Jerkass. The moment you see the shit Terumi does, however, you will realize that this is his pigeonholed role taken Way Past Eleven, into Complete Monster Troll territory.
Relationship Voice Actor:
- Tager, Carl, Hazama/Terumi, Platinum and Relius/Takamagahara are the announcer, C. Viper, Vega, Chun-Li and Guile.
  - And considering that Relius' VA and Platinum's VA are married... Uuuh...
- Hazama/Terumi and Platinum are also Squall Leonhart and Cloud of Darkness.
- Japanese-wise, Tsubaki and Litchi are idol singers Chihaya Kisaragi and Azusa Miura. It kinda 'makes sense' when Litchi's turn to the dark side looks like an excuse to reunite the two idols together (both Imagine and Chiaking are also good friends in real-life).
- Ragna and Hazama are also Leon and Alto where their roles as protagonist and antagonist are switched. For Irony, they're also shipped by voice actors in real life.
- Ragna and Tager are Scorpion and Noob Saibot/Announcer.
What Could Have Been: Apparently, BlazBlue was meant to be an RPG, but was changed into a fighting game.
The Wiki Rule: There's three:
