Hi no Kagutsuchi is a creature under the command of Nine the Phantom. She uses it during combat to fight against opponents. It debuted in BlazBlue: Central Fiction.

Information

The history of Kagutsuchi is unknown. All that is known about this beast is that it came under Nine's servitude at least some time after the Dark War, but was not seen in her possession during her time as Phantom. In combat, Kagutsuchi is largely unseen, only appearing when its master summons it for multiple attacks such as Navy Pressure and Mauvette Roar. Most of the attacks which involve Kagutsuchi uses its impressive physical strength, but it is capable of unleashing a cascade of flames from its mouth to attack opponents. Nine summons Kagutsuchi's various limbs through several portals.

Kagutsuchi is a large creature that is physically akin to a demonic entity. It is large enough to easily cradle Nine in its arms. The creature is primarily black with four beady yellow eyes and two horns. Its left horn is much shorter than its right, and is wreathed in flames. Kagutsuchi's arms are thick, with vents on its wrist, and its large hands end in sharp claws. The legs of this creature are longer than Nine herself (who stands at 171cm), and its feet end in sharp claws with pointed heels.
