''[[Blazen!]]'' is a ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'' fancomic made by Shadow Draygon, a member of the ''[[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|Guilty Gear]]'' forum Dustloop. It uses [[Sprite Comic|in-game sprites]] and official artwork, and is a mostly self-contained gag series which takes the characters' most notable traits and [[Character Exaggeration|exaggerates them]] or [[Alternative Character Interpretation|completely changes them,]] with [[Troll|Hazama]] tending to be the [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad|main]] [[A Day in Thethe Limelight|focus]].
 
The main page could be found [http://blazen.thecomicseries.com/ here], but it seems to have vanished. As a result most links on this page are now kind of dead. Beware; major ''BlazBlue'' spoilers end up as regular jokes in the comics.
 
As ofOn September 11, 2011, the comic has ended/beenwas canceled.

{{tropelist}}
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: Makoto catches Tsubaki in the middle of...[[Brother -Sister Incest|some private time]]... and tells Tsubaki that if she keeps it up, {{spoiler|she'll go blind}}. Tsubaki dismisses her, but the next time she gets ready to "have fun"...
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: [http://blazen.thecomicseries.com/comics/60/ "BEEEEEEEEES!"] is a [[Take That]] at the GameSpot preview of ''Continuum Shift'', which infamously got Arakune's bio completely wrong.
* [[Ascended Meme]]: [[Cristina Valenzuela]], Noel’s voice actor, dubbed one of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epn-fg48i9M comics!]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't joke about how dead Nine is in front of Jubei.
Line 14:
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: The comic's version of Litchi.
* [[Blah Blah Blah]]: Used to great effect by Terumi in this comic: [http://blazen.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/55776 "Filler: Extra Arcade Story"]
* [[Brick Joke]]: [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|Venom's "Dark Angel" super]] goes through EVERYTHING, a tradition continued from ''Holy Zen!'', one of Shadow Draygon's earlier comics. So far it's come out of Mu-12's cocoon and Take-Mikazuchi.
** To elaborate, an earlier Holy Zen! strip had Venom launch a Dark Angel at Millia; it missed and went on an unstoppable rampage, bulldozing through Sol and Testament playing a [[Tabletop Game]] (which Testament was about to [[Rage Quit]] due to Sol's stupidity), and Axl and Potemkin adventuring together, amongst other things.
* [[The Cameo]]: Several from ''Holy Zen!'', but Sol stalks Makoto regularly due to his hatred of squirrels.
** The rogue Dark Angel as launched by Venom also makes a couple of cameo appearences.
{{quote| '''Venom''': Where the hell do those Dark Angels keep going?}}
* [[Call Back]]: In "[http://blazen.thecomicseries.com/comics/109 Sparklicious]", Platinum the Trinity comments on how LSD is [[ChappellesChappelle's Show|a helluva drug]]. Rachel replying gives the impression that Platinum's talking to her, but it's more likely she's talking to Gii - who was referenced as having an LSD stash in "[http://blazen.thecomicseries.com/comics/43/ Rachel in Wonderland]". Gii bowing and blushing in that same panel all but confirms this.
* [[The Chew Toy]]: [[The Woobie|Noel]], [[Butt Monkey|just]]...[[Break the Cutie|Noel]]. Even Shadow Draygon makes fun of her in her character description.
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: The comic in general uses this as its driving source of humor.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: During Bang and Carl's ninja camping trip, Carl gets kidnapped by Bang's [[Arch Enemy]], the [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|"Killer Pirate Cyborg Bear"]]
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Hazama, Jin, and Litchi, among others.
* [[Gag Dub]]: Occasionally, Shadow Draygon will upload a chapter of a dance-themed translation of the official ''BlazBlue: Chimelical Complex'' comic.
* [[Groin Attack]]: Bang receives one of the most painful kind...{{spoiler|from a ''mouth'' with ''razored edges.''}}
* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]: Unlike [[Tear Jerker|his situation]] in the actual game, Carl's [[Break the Cutie|traumatic childhood experiences]] and relationship with [[Abusive Parents|Relius]] in ''Blazen!'' is [[Played for Laughs]] more than anything.
Line 30:
* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: The series begins with Shadow Draygon's previous comic, ''Holy Zen!'', being taken over by the ''BlazBlue'' cast. {{spoiler|Later, Hazama steals the plot and an army of Robo-Kys take over the comic for a while.}}
* {{spoiler|[[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Litchi, as evidenced by the [[Complete Monster]] entry above.}}
* [[Jerkass]]: Who else but Jin "God of Assholes" Kisaragi?
* [[Literal Split Personality]]: Without Terumi inhabiting the "Hazama" body, it is kind, well-mannered, helpful, and [[Tastes Like Diabetes|overly cheerful.]] {{spoiler|However, it still seems to possess a little bit of trolly goodness, though more indirect: see [[Mushroom Samba]] below.}}
** [[Sure Why Not]]: {{spoiler|The latest side novel, ''Phase Shift 1'', introduces a character called Kazuma who turns out to be Hazama without Terumi inside of him.}}
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Bang "[[In the Name of Thethe Moon|By all of Ikaruga]], I must tap that!" Shishigami.
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: Rachel gets some LSD slipped into her tea {{spoiler|by "Hazama"; that is, Hazama's body without the ghost of Terumi inside it}} and imagines herself in an RPG style universe.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The comic as a whole relies a lot on these for most of its jokes. {{spoiler|Such as the example for [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]] above, for Tsubaki.}}
* [[Planet of Hats]]: The "Awesome Hat Alliance" created by Carl, which deems that only awesome people can wear hats. Anyone who wears a hat and is not considered awesome gets their hat confiscated as a warning. It appears that Hazama, Tsubaki, [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|I-no and Johnny]] have all joined as well.
* [[Shmuck Bait]]: One of the most popular strips has Hazama set up a booth with the sign "Stay Calm For 30 Seconds, Win $10". Needless to say, many, many people try to win the challenge. They all fail. {{spoiler|Jin comes close to succeeding by counter-trolling, but misses the mark by '''1 millisecond'''. He did manage to draw Terumi out, though.}}
** {{spoiler|At first it looks like Makoto was the first to beat the game...only to learn that it was not Hazama, but [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|Sol Badguy]] in a [[Latex Perfection|Hazama mask]]. Due to his hatred of squirrels (another ''Holy Zen!'' reference), he promptly scorches the surrounding area, traps Makoto inside the burning booth, and muzzles Hype Dog.}}
* [[Shout -Out to/To Shakespeare]]: Relius is VERY fond of quoting Shakespeare and theater in general.
** [[Alas, Poor Yorick]]: He practices the lines in his introduction comic.
* [[Time Travel]]: Thanks to a few mishaps with this, two Hazamas come into existence ''at the same time,'' and actually meet with each other. Thank goodness that one was much less of a jerk than the other.
* [[Trolling Creator]]: The final comic might as well have been a picture of the author saying "fuck you all, I'm out of here."
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Quite often Hazama. Some have said that he may as well be the main character of the comic.
* [[What Does This Button Do?]]: In [http://blazen.thecomicseries.com/comics/110 #72: Override], Terumi invokes this while messing with Relius' new device, which {{spoiler|controls Lambda-11}}.
* [[Yandere]]: Nu, moreso than her game counterpart. She'll '''KILL''' anyone who gets in the way of '''HER''' Ragna, and then activate hug.exe when near him {{spoiler|(which involves stabbing him through the chest and going deeper and deeper every second)}}.
