Fortunately, the new management actually consulted a real lawyer about this in 2015 and backpedaled on it so quickly they left skid marks.

** [[BlazBlue]] is pretty over-represented on their ''Pantheon''(basically a place for them to gush about their favorite characters) for what is basically a niche mix of [[Fighting Game]] and [[Visual Novel]].
