* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: '''Non'''-Unlimited Raggy is the final boss for Hakumen's Arcade Mode in ''Calamity Trigger''. Further reinforced by Nu coming right before.
* [[Base Breaker]]: If you like Bang, you are an idealist on the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]] and you like the silly side of the [[Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness]]. But some feel he just doesn't fit with the tone of the series.
** Like Bang, it seems like half of the fanbase loves Carl, and the other half loathes him. The ones who hate him generally find him whiny, annoying, and irrelevant to the overall plot. Other people like him for his relatively unique, cool, and effective playstyle, puppetmaster aesthetic, stylish outfit and an interesting story overall. Also, the fact that some people (mainly the female parts of the fanbase) just [[I'm Taking Her Home
* [[Canon Sue]]: Deconstructed with Noel. Despite her general lack of talents she ends up with a better officer position than [[Hard Work Hardly Works|Tsubaki]], and despite her overall patheticness she's undeniably ''the'' most important character in ''Continuum Shift'' because {{spoiler|she's the [[Person of Mass Destruction|inheritor of the Azure]]}}. Plus, she's pretty much ''[[Butt Monkey|the]]'' target for [[Mind Rape]]. Oh, and let's not also forget that {{spoiler|she isn't technically meant to exist. She's only alive because of anomalies within the [[Groundhog Day Loop]], meaning that in the original timelines she was never supposed to even exist
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: Most character joke endings.▼
** Arguably, she starts off as a canon [[Anti-Sue]], but by the end of ''Continuum Shift'' she's allowed to develop into her own person {{spoiler|but even then it's only because Terumi doesn't have any more use for her}}.

Oh yeah, and she also finds out that her best friend has pulled a [[Face Heel Turn]] out of [[Green-Eyed Monster|envy]].}}

** There is a fanfic of Jin being coupled with his own Nox Nyctores: Yukianesa (in her "Human/Spirit" form).
* [[Complacent Gaming Syndrome]]: Enjoy your Ice Car Jins.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Bang. Also Taokaka.
* [[Creepy Awesome]]: Even though Arakune is mostly made up of [[Nightmare Fuel]], he's generally well-liked by the fandom as a character.
* [[Crossover Ship]]: Among all the characters in the series, Jin is the one most prone to this. [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi]] is not an exception, either. There's even a fan-made 4koma comic series where... Jin is the target [[Unwanted Harem]] of various girls from different [[Anime]]/[[Visual Novel
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Jin gets along well with people, even Noel; he just doesn't say anything about his confusion. His jerkassness/partial insanity is a result of the Ikaruga War combined with him finding out that the brother he killed is still alive and remembering his past. {{spoiler|This paid off. He's now one of the genuine good guys
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]:
** Rachel's frog George XIII from one of her attacks, who has been [[Memetic Mutation|confirmed for god-tier]].
** Bang was but a very minor character in the first installment for the Arcades. When Bang went for the home console release, he already had quite a following fandom in Japan, this resulted in:
*** Him being in many of fan-artworks sent for contests by [[Arc System Works]]; keep in mind that only Ragna, Noel, Rachel, Litchi and Taokaka have as much, or more, entries than Bang, [[Series Mascot|for very obvious reasons of course
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6L_WbYGQ1I The vocal version of Gale -Reppu-], Bang Shishigami's 1st theme song was originally written and performed by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQUjH7Mtvn8 a user from Nico Nico Douga], the song was so catchy and worthy of Bang's fame that it caught the Blaz Blue's official radio show (Buraji) attention. All the impending success of the song made Daisuke Ishiwatari invite Bang himself (Tsuyoshi Koyama) to perform the vocals for his 1st theme song, this of course with the very same lyrics the original writter envisioned. Oh, and in ''[[
*** His Subordinates are even considered this. At least to [[Troll|the people on Dustloop and occasionally]] [[
*** Even more impressive that Ragna and Jin have their share of fan vocals tied to their themes, still no word on Daisuke Ishiwatari promissing to have the same lyrics whenever he invites the voice actors to perform the official vocals.
** Taokaka as well.
* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]: Jin Kisaragi.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: {{spoiler|Remember Tao's alternate ending from Calamity Trigger done in a cheesy trailer style for a non-existant "upcoming movie" that portrayed Litchi being an antagonist? Yeah...}}▼
*
** Another one... {{spoiler|Remember when Litchi suddenly sports devil horns when trying to keep both Tao and Carl quiet in her story? Well...}}▼
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]:
▲*
▲**
* [[Evil Is Sexy|Jerks Are Sexy]]: Jin.▼
▲* [[Foe Yay]]{{spoiler|/IncestSubtext: Jin towards his Ragna, who also happens to be his brother. Lampshaded in [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot|Teach Me Miss Litchi]] where Jin sprouts hearts everytime his brother says something.}}
* [[Game Breaker]]:
** Carl's Calamity Trigger's semi-infinite Clap Loop caused a lot of players to dislike fighting him.
** Nu-13: [[That One Attack|5DD>4DD>236D]].
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: Tager is a lot more popular with American players than Japanese players. There are a few major factors for this. First of all, he's a [[Skill Gate Characters|Skill Gate Character]] who takes very little effort to win with in lower levels of play. Second, his character design is one of the least anime-esque of all the Blazblue characters, as he bears some resemblance to some Marvel Comics characters like The Hulk, [[X-Men|Beast]] and Hellboy as a non Marvel example. Lastly, the memes associated with him aren't as prevalent in the Japanese version, if they are present at all.
▲* [[Evil Is Sexy|Jerks Are Sexy]]: Jin.
▲* [[Ho Yay]]:
* [[Ho Yay]]:
** Combined with [[Foe Yay]] in the form of Ragna and Jin. Made even more creepy by the fact that Jin is Ragna's biological brother.

* [[Jerk Sue|Jerk]] [[Canon Sue|Canon]] [[Mary Sue|Sue]]: [[Subjective Trope]] as always for Rachel, but: Amazingly powerful? Check. Fights to alleviate boredom induced by being amazingly powerful? Check. [[Figure It Out Yourself|Withholds information]]? Check. Mocks [[The Woobie]]? Check. Mocks everyone else? Check. Mocks people stuck in {{spoiler|a [[Kill'Em All|bloody and depressing]] [[Groundhog Day Loop|time loop]]}} for not having the information she's withholding? Check.
* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]:
** The fandom has paired Jin up with nearly every character in the series by now. Tsubaki is both the [[Fan-Preferred Couple]] and [[Official Couple]], but he's also often paired with [[Morality Pet|Mak]][[Interspecies Romance|oto]], [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|No]][[UST|el]], [[Takahashi Couple|Ra]][[Belligerent Sexual Tension|chel]], [[Ho Yay|Haz]][[Foe Yay|ama]], and of course, [[Incest Yay Shipping|Ragna]]. Outside the series, in terms of fanfictions and fanarts, we also have Jin being coupled with [[Tales of Vesperia
** Ragna seems to be prone to this, like his younger brother/[[The Rival|Rival]]
** People have also paired Carl with Makoto, Noel, Litchi, Rachel, Taokaka, [[Toy Ship|Platinum]], [[Satellite Character|Linhua]]
* [[Magnificent Bitch]]: Rachel. Truly proves to be the most powerful of the cast and shows what a piece of cake it is to use the Tsukuyomi unit to defend Kagutsuchi from Take-mikazuchi's threat, all without ever feeling like a [[Mary Sue]] or even a [[Villain Sue]].
** Even in ''[[
* [[Memetic Badass]]:
** Tager IS [[Jamieson Price|the]] ''[[Street Fighter IV
** '''BANG'''!! In '''Spades'''.
* [[Memetic Outfit]]: Carl is known by many people as a pimp, mostly having to do with his almost all-purple wardrobe, complete with a pimp hat.
* [[Memetic Sex God]]: See [[Memetic Outfit]] above for details on Carl.
*

** Devoured By Darkness becomes this as Unlimited Ragna.
** ICECARZ.
** Noel's Chain Revolver eats newbies for breakfast.
** '''BEEZ'''.
* [[Tier
** In versus play, nobody likes [[Complacent Gaming Syndrome|Jin the Icecar Driver]], v-13 the [[Game Breaker]], and [[Confusion Fu|Where-the-fuck-is-he-now]] Arakune.
** If anyone hates Jin, it's because he is a "scrub" character. His abrasive and crazed personality is actually rather popular.
** Rachel is hated for being god-tier.
** Arakune Gets about as much hate as Nu and Jin. This mostly stems from his [[Confusion Fu]] style of fighting, which is downright CONFUSING to many, coupled with the fact that he is far easier to use than he looks; most of his moves are executed simply by pushing a direction and a button.
** Some fans hate Carl because he's very weak. These people tend to not use his drive ability properly, which requires Carl and Ada to attack in tandem. This is very visible with his Astral Finish, as the enemy can easily avoid it unless Carl does some serious work. On the other side of the spectrum, some hate him because of the Clap Loop. Never mind the fact that it's extremely difficult to get the timing and inputs right, or even to set up, since most people with half a brain will want to stay the hell away from Nirvana. Let us not talk about the counter hit -> juggle -> teleport Nirvana in -> claploop setup.
* [[Unpopular Popular Character]]: Oddly enough, the minor characters from Ronin-Gai who follows Bang would avert this if it weren't, well, for their status as minor characters.
*
* [[
▲*** [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|He says in his story that the destruction of his home and family drove him to bitterly hate everything, which is probably part of why he's destroying the Library, and part of why he becomes the Black Beast. And [[It Got Worse|it gets worse]]. Terumi draws power from Ragna's hatred for him, meaning his entirely justified grudge is powering a [[Complete Monster]] whom he seemingly cannot kill.}}
** Taokaka gets a substantial Woobie moment at the end of her
▲** [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Jin has shades of this thanks to his backstory.
** [[Iron Woobie]]: Litchi... {{spoiler|never shared her huge problems to the people near her just so they wouldn't suffer further, taking all her problems by herself. Also, to save Arakune AND herself, she is [[Forced Into Evil|in the ranks of the enemy]] (
** Arakune. Especially when you realize he's sane enough to understand that there's ''something wrong with him'', but completely unable to do anything about it.
▲*** {{spoiler|[[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: And then Noel was tempered into Kusanagi, the complete form of the Murakumo units.}}
▲** Taokaka gets a substantial Woobie moment at the end of her CS story mode. {{spoiler|Try as she might, she can't hold her own against Hazama, and it looks like she's not going to survive the fight, at which time she breaks from her usual demeanor and laments that all she wanted to do was protect the village and her friends.}}
▲** [[Iron Woobie]]: Litchi... {{spoiler|never shared her huge problems to the people near her just so they wouldn't suffer further, taking all her problems by herself. Also, to save Arakune AND herself, she is [[Forced Into Evil|in the ranks of the enemy]] (It's either that, or get reduced into a puddle that not even losing her memory of Arakune can help her). She still out and out try to take things on her own, never wanting to burden those dear to her. And despite being and out-and-out [[Token Good Teammate]] and still exudes [[Heartwarming Moment]] afterwards... the [[Fan Dumb]] about her was born, and considers her an ''[[Horrible Judge of Character|utter]] [[What an Idiot!|idiot]]'' and a selfish bitch blinded with obsession. Gee, it's like her woobiedom seeps into the Fourth Wall!}}
▲** Arakune. Especially when you realize he's sane enough to understand that there's ''something wrong with him'', but completely unable to do anything about it. {{spoiler|[[It Got Worse]] after Relius captured him.}}
** Carl. The more one learns about his story, the more one wants to give the poor kid a hug.
