Line 94:
* ''[[BlazBlue]]'' has some of the more colorful cast there is. However, some of them have been suffering cases of [[Never Live It Down]] which may fling into [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]
** [[The Hero]] Ragna The Bloodedge is squarely a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]. However, due to his past history of destroying several NOL bases and leaving no survivors, something he hasn't done as of late (or at least shown in the game), some people makes it clear and never let the fandom forget that he was a mass murderer... and always will be.
** Jin Kisaragi started out as a psychopath [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]] of the brother-complex variety who only had his sights of Ragna. As the story progresses, we learned his relationship with Tsubaki Yayoi and he tremendously cared about her. In fact, post-CS, he made it his mission to save Tsubaki, making him look heroic. Fandom reaction? He's still and always will be the brother-crazed psycho [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]].
*** This impression is reinforced by the characterization ''Continuum Shift'' gives him. While it's in non-canon gag storylines, it's in at least three gag storylines. Not to mention in Teach Me Miss Litchi, too. [[Implausible Deniability|So, not entirely the fans' faults]] Arc Systems are milking this [[Running Gag]] for all it's worth.
** Litchi Faye-Ling is quite probably the most egregious one. She is all nice and caring to everyone she comes across, provided they're not evil and she does try her best to save Arakune. But one moment she unwillingly joined NOL as [[I Did What I Had to Do|the situation practically forced her to if she wants a shot in saving Arakune]], fans practically considered 'obsession' to be her whole personality, forgetting all the good things she did before (and thought they were just to facilitate her obsession) and mere association with NOL dooms her to be a [[Heel]] in many fans' eyes.
