| ===Military Academy===
| |
| ====Heart to Heart, Remix Heart====
| |
| At the Academy, Jin met [[Taro Sasaga'e]] and [[Akane Teruhiko]], becoming close to both as all three of them were roommates, and all had joined the student council. In his second year, Jin won the Torifune Festival's martial art tournament, becoming its 'Izanagi' for the year. He largely neglected his duties, however.
| |
|
| |
| After having saved the girls from pit they fell into, Jin was seen again in the Torifune Festival of that year. He won the tournament again, this time it being 'rock-paper-scissors'. Jin also introduced Tsubaki to Taro and Akane, having frequently mentioned her in the past. Jin also met [[Kajun Faycott]] and [[Mai Natsume]], with the former working alongside him as the 'Izanami' of the year. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 02''</ref> Jin also helped judge during the sports festival <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 05''</ref> and was confused when [[Team Remix Heart]] managed to bring back the [[Conversion Grimoire]] - he talked to [[Estella McKenzie]] about the incident. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 06''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| The weather system that manages Torifune eventually broke down, returning the city to its natural state of perpetual cold. Taro accidentally shoved Jin into Team Remix Heart, causing them to slide across the icy pavements until they hit Akane's igloo and were sent careering into the distance, landing at a beach. Jin refused to use the [[Golden Angel]] that Kajun had provided, and they waited until they were picked up by Torifune officials. In the meantime, they had fixed the [[Regulation Grimoire]], and brought the weather system online. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 07''</ref> Days later, Jin felt Ragna's presence in Torifune. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 10''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Because Taro had kissed Mai, he took on Noel's "death dinner" cooking, sending him, Jin, and Akane into a bedridden state. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 12''</ref> Remix Heart, bar Noel, looked after the boys, and Jin joked that Mai couldn't possibly be in love with an "idiot" like Taro. He was introduced to [[Shiori Kirihito]], although he was never made aware that she was an assassin hired by Kisaragi members to kill him. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 13''</ref> He was gifted some porridge by the girls, but Taro quickly ate some of it before Jin could even taste it. However, Jin felt Ragna's presence on Mai, and Yukianesa's influence began to take hold. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 14''</ref> Hypnotised by the Nox, Jin wildly attacked Mai while Taro attempted to stop his movements. Noel soon arrived, using the [[Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk]] to temporarily distract Jin, allowing for [[Cypher Albar]] to intervene and knock him unconscious - Jin was carried back to a different dorm, as he had destroyed the one he had been staying in. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 15''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Thanks to the Yukianesa incident, massive icebergs had been created around Torifune, and Jin was ordered to help manage them with everyone else who was involved. He watched Taro battle Shiori in eating shaved ice and was not pleased when a [[Torifune panda]] attacked Tsubaki. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 17''</ref> While bathing with Taro and Akane, Jin watched as the former was gifted an Ars Magus sealed letter and could not open it. Taro begged for Jin's help, but he refused. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 18''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Jin was soon gathered to help break Mai out of an [[alchemy]] induced coma, but he and the other students present were ensnared in the trap laid by Cypher. Taro saved Jin and Akane from the alchemy barrier created <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 22''</ref>, and watched as Mai not only awoke from her coma, but also battled Cypher one-on-one. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 23''</ref> When the professor teleported away with Shiori and Mai, Jin took control, ordering everyone present (Taro, Noel, Tsubaki, Kajun, [[Chachakaka]], Estella, and Makoto) to gather all the strongest Ars users to create a barrier of Ars Magus that would stop Cypher's plan of creating a [[Burning Red Grimoire]] - he also ordered Akane to evacuate the student body. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 24''</ref> They succeeded. Jin was told that Cypher was nowhere to be found after both Mai and Shiori were rescued from the lower levels of Torifune, and he wished to speak with Chachakaka, but she relented. Jin, with the rest of the student council, was then swamped in paperwork surrounding the event. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 25''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Later that year, Jin graduated.

| ===Ikaruga Civil War===
| |
| ====Spiral Shift, Variable Heart, Determination====
| |
|
| |
| In the aftermath of the war, Jin was promoted two ranks, becoming the youngest Major in the NOL's history, and Jin went to his medal ceremony in the [[2nd Hierarchical City of Iwatsuchi]] with Taro. <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 01''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ===Variable Heart===
| |
| Kagura told Jin about the whereabouts of Meifang within the [[11th Hierarchical City of Shinatsu]], ordering the Kisaragi heir to arrest her on grounds of treason. He willingly went, travelling to its cauldron and reunited with Mai, also meeting [[Bell]]. Upon entering, he froze solid one of the many [[Fuzzy]] as snow began to fall in the enclosed space. <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 16''</ref> He talked to the Colonel, letting her know that he was going to cut her down, remembering the deaths of the Ninth Squadron, Grimwood's execution, and Karenjina's torture. The two began fighting while Mai battled the numerous Fuzzy. Eventually, Mai launched her [[Legacy Weapons|Legacy Weapon]], the [[Gallia Sphyras: Outseal]] towards Meifang, puncturing a large hole in her shoulder - Jin followed up by freezing parts of her, yet it was not enough to take the Colonel down. <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 17''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Jin lost sight of both Mai and Meifang as the former created a [[Phantom Field]]. The Colonel was defeated and Jin left with Taro pursuing him. He was reunited with Akane and Taro for a brief moment aboard an Ars Magus vessel. <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 18''</ref>

| |
| Not long after his promotion, Jin was given a book called the "[[Biographies of Heroes]]". He looked at the book, and felt disdain towards it, mentally remarking that most of his biography had been vastly dramatized; regardless, he signed off a check-sheet to say that the book was acceptable for publishing. Jin was interrupted by Noel, who handed him a letter telling him that she had been placed under his command as his secretary. This greatly annoyed him, and he dismissed her before losing his temper at Yukianesa.
| |
|
| |
| The following day, Noel handed him a letter from NOL headquarters. The letter detailed that Noel was to be deployed to the [[13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi]] and to watch the Grim Reaper - Jin learned here that the Grim Reaper is in fact Ragna the Bloodedge, his long-lost brother. The Major began to maniacally laugh to himself before leaving his office, making his way to Kagutsuchi and abandoning his post. <Ref>''BlazBlue Material Collection, Jin Kisaragi Short Story - purgatory hell''</ref>

| |
| On the 30th of December, Jin found himself within the district known as [[Roningai]]. Here, he was found by Bang, but the major failed to recognize the ninja. Bang attacked in vengeance for Tenjo but Jin defeated him, having used Yukianesa to freeze parts of the district. He refused to kill the ninja, remarking that he was not worth the effort of killing. As he left, Jin began to mutter; each breath dripping with lust for Ragna's death. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 2 - Cross Fate''</ref> The following day after having crossed over most of Kagutsuchi, he came across Noel who had been ordered to apprehend him and bring him back to headquarters. He ran towards her with Yukianesa drawn, swinging at her but barely missing. The two fought, but Noel was saved as [[Hazama]] created a smokescreen for her to escape. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 3 - False Hero''</ref>

|
| |
| Jin finally made his way inside the Kagutsuchi NOL branch, finding it was empty. He expressed a brief joy for it being so; it would mean no one would interfere with him battling Ragna. Soon enough, his brother arrived, and Jin drew Yukianesa, rushed towards Ragna and clashed against [[Aramasa]]. Throughout the fight, Jin's unbridled laughter illuminated the [[Cathedral]], yet he was not strong enough to defeat Ragna. Eventually, Jin was beaten and sent unconscious, his last thoughts being on how cold his hands were. He was found by Noel and Hazama - the latter had him detained on an Ars Magus vessel hovering around Kagutsuchi's airspace. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 4 - Memorable Church''</ref>

| [[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 08(A).png|thumb|left|Trying to recover from the previous battle]]The fight against Ragna had seriously injured Jin and he had no recollection of it afterword. He was unable to move, and even Celica’s healing sorcery was not enough to heal his wounds. Celica left after some time, and Tsubaki visited him. He explained his relationship with Ragna, and his earliest memories to her, including the day he cut Ragna’s arm off under Terumi’s influence. They were interrupted by Noel, whom Jin had sent for earlier, and Tsubaki left. Noel told him what happened in the fight, and he ordered her to find Ragna before Tsubaki would. [[Trinity Glassfille]] was watching, and he spoke to her after Noel had left; they formed a pact, and Trinity, using alchemy, made his body able to fight again, although at the cost of him being unable to ever fight afterwards. Jin was later absorbed into the [[Embryo]] but the Power of Order prevented his memories from being altered. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 001, Chapter 003''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Part of his pact with Trinity was to find [[Platinum the Trinity]], which he attempted to do inside the Embryo. He found his way to the [[Monorail]] in Kagutsuchi. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 015''</ref> Much later on, he would find Jubei, and they discussed the latter’s distorted memories. Jin left his mentor to go and investigate the strange world they were in. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 025''</ref> He was teleported to Ikaruga by Nine, and instructed to defeat Izanami to claim a part of the Azure. Jin trusted Trinity’s instinct to go to Kokonoe to complete both their goals. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 005, Chapter 037''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| With barely any time left, Jin and Trinity found Platinum, whose existence was on the verge of disappearing. He perceived both Luna and Sena, recognizing them with the Power of Order. The measure was only temporary, so Jin resolved to help Trinity make it permanent. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 009, Chapter 064, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> The three of them broke into a Sector Seven facility and escaped with information pertaining to Platinum’s body. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 009, Chapter 073, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> He allowed Carl to help Trinity with modifying Platinum’s body so they could exist within the Embryo. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 009, Chapter 073, Sub Scenario 2''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| After finishing the maintenance and saving Platinum, the trio left Carl and were found by Jubei, who warned them of the eleventh Nox Nyctores. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 077, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> They travelled to the Kaka Village first to drop off Platinum so she could materialise the [[Hihiirokane]], which Jin concluded could outright kill Terumi. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 078, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> Later, Jin travelled with him to Yabiko where they found Celica, Noel, Ragna, Kokonoe, Kagura, and Rachel discussing how to break into Nine’s workshop. He told Kokonoe it was impossible to naturally enter the workshop. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 079''</ref> The following morning, Jin was part of the strike squadron sent to Nine’s workshop. There, he listened to Nine’s explanation of the world, the [[Prime Field War]], her desire, and why she created the [[Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem]]. Although he believed her a threat to Order, he could not attack her because it would drain his body far too much. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 081''</ref> He watched Ragna defeat the sage, and attempted to fight off both Izanami and Nu, who had come to kill them all. He could not fully fight, however, and was teleported away after watching Nine die to delay Doomsday and stop Izanami from moving for a week – he was also forced to leave Jubei behind. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 082''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Jin and the others were teleported to the [[Celica A. Mercury’s Church|church]] that he grew up in, leaving him shocked as to how it could exist, even within the Embryo. While the others went inside, Jin and Ragna talked about how it could possibly exist before deciding to go to the nearby river – both completely calm and not at one another’s throats. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 083''</ref> They returned to the church to sleep, and had breakfast together with Celica and Noel. He left the building and talked with Rachel, Trinity, and Ragna about the situation at hand and agreed to “play house” for the time being. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 084''</ref> Jin also listened to Noel perfectly describe his childhood through Saya’s eyes, calling it “impossible”. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 085''</ref> The hero later listened to Trinity’s request to stay inside Yukianesa so she could help him to defeat Izanami and Terumi, and he complied. The following morning, he watched Celica finally die, and the group teleported back to Yabiko – it’s unknown how her death affected Jin. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 087''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Jin would be reunited with Tsubaki, Kagura, and Kokonoe back at the Yabiko branch, and also met Hakumen. He listened to Noel, learning that she holds one half of Saya’s soul, and agreed to be sent within the Embryo’s frozen space-time to deal with Requiem and Izanami, being taken there by [[Lambda-11]]. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapters 088 – 089''</ref> Inside, he was separated from the others, being stranded with Kagura. They were found by Azrael, who shifted space-time to fight them in the Colosseum. After watching Kagura fight the Mad Dog to a near stalemate, Jin intervened, using "Artic Dungeon" to freeze him, and the two became the first pair to ever defeat Azrael. Jin left Kagura behind to rest and travelled onwards to find Requiem. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 090''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| The final part of Doomsday began to occur, leaving Jin and Trinity stranded in the [[White of Nothingness]]. They soon ventured to find the others and Amaterasu. He eventually did, finding Tsubaki, in her Izayoi form, alongside Hakumen battling Nu. He watched Ragna defeat both Nu and Hakumen, and then Terumi breaking Hakumen’s soul and taking the Susano’o Unit for himself, becoming [[Susano'o]] once more. Jin watched him snatch Noel and transport both himself and the Amaterasu Unit outside of the Embryo. He learnt from Trinity how to escape the Embryo to follow them and journeyed with Ragna to the Kagutsuchi cauldron to do so. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 092''</ref> There, he saw Hazama jump into the Boundary and found Rachel. With Ragna, Trinity, and Rachel, Jin jumped into the cauldron, ending up on the exterior of the Embryo. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 094''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| [[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 75.png|thumb|right|Please don’t leave, brother]]Outside the Embryo, Jin and Ragna fought against Susano’o, although the hero had reached the limits of his body after perceiving the God using Order. Ragna dragged Terumi out of the Unit, and Trinity transferred him into the Susano’o Unit with Hihiirokane, and he slashed down both his brother and the God, although both were dragged into the Gate. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 096''</ref> Terumi was killed by the Grim Reaper, and when Ragna exited the Gate, he fought against both Jin and Noel, taking their dreams. Trinity took Jin out of the Susano’o Unit. Jin began crying into his brother’s arms, knowing this would be the last time he would ever see him. Together with Noel, who had now reclaimed all of Saya’s memories, they returned to seithr. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 098''</ref>

|
| |
| In the new world created by Ragna, Jin forgot about his brother, and was last seen at an NOL ceremony where Homura presided – both Kagura and Hibiki were also present. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 100''</ref> True to Trinity’s deal, Jin is now incapable of ever fighting again in his life. <ref>''Inside-Games, [https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2016/10/26/102963_2.html Interview with Toshimichi Mori]''</ref>

Major Jin Kisaragi (ジン＝キサラギ), also known as the Hero of Ikaruga (イカルガの英雄), is one of the main characters of the BlazBlue series. He is the current wielder of the Nox Nyctores - Mucro Algesco: Yukianesa and is a product of Order. Jin is the younger brother of Ragna the Bloodedge, older brother of Saya, and a member of the Duodecim's Kisaragi household.
Jin is one of the original playable twelve characters who debuted in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger.
Appearance
Jin is a young man with short, blond hair and green eyes. He wears the blue uniform of the NOL infantry division, Jin's uniform consists of a sleeveless blue coat with gold accents and a red lining, a sleeveless white tunic, secured at the waist with three black belts which covers a black form-fitting full length bodysuit underneath it. On Jin's arms are a pair of white mid arm length gloves, as well as a pair of long blue detached sleeves with gold accents, that turns black at the end of the outer part, while the inner part remains completely blue, these sleeves reach down to his knees and are attached to his coat by a pair of large silver buttons near his shoulders, they also have large pauldrons. Jin also wears the standard blue NOL infantry boots with gold accents and which also have a gold cross printed along the tongue of the boots and silver metal toes.
During his time at the Military Academy, Jin wore the standard male school uniform, a pair of white shoes as well as grey glasses. It is unknown if Jin had problems with his eyesight around this time or if he wore them for purely aesthetic reasons.
While he lived at the church with Ragna and Saya, Jin often wore a white jacket, with a black shirt and light brown trousers as well as dark brown shoes. On the night the church burned down, he was wearing a light blue shirt and black shorts.
In his teenage years when adopted by the Kisaragi's, Jin wore a traditional Japanese attire consisting of a white kosode (shirt), blue hakama (trousers), white socks and sandals.
For important ceremonies, Jin wears a more formal version of his NOL uniform consisting of a sharp blue suit, with black cuffs, gold accents and a large shoulder cloth with various insignia sewn upon it, as well as a white shirt, red tie, a pair of white trousers and the standard blue NOL infantry boots with gold accents. On certain occasions he has also worn a blue beret or a NOL cape similar to Kagura’s but in blue.
Personality
Calm and collected, but also somewhat aloof when it comes to other people. He’s an exceptional soldier and commander, but also ambitious and jealous, which makes him extremely possessive.[2][3]
To most, Jin is apathetic, cold, distant, and aloof, barely showing any emotion to anyone. He is much more complex than most would initially think thanks to years of influence under Yukianesa and Order. He has a deep brotherly love for his brother Ragna, a love that both aforementioned factors manipulated into something twisted and corrupted. Another person that Jin has a strong attachment to is Tsubaki Yayoi - the two of them will do nearly anything for one another and she is one of a few people that truly understand him. In the timeline where Jin became Hakumen, Tsubaki's death haunted and wracked him with guilt for nearly 100 years. His most complicated relationship is with Noel Vermillion, someone who he despises for looking like his sister. As time goes on, however, he begins to become softer towards her.
Prior to gaining control of Yukianesa, Jin was prone to emotional and mental outbursts. He would allow the Nox to control him and make decisions without his consent, attacking both friends and foes alike. Once he solidified his control, Jin began to formerly identify more with Order and to destroy anything that would oppose it.
As a child, Jin was described as a "crybaby", being sensitive and extremely attached to Ragna. He was often jealous of the attention that Saya was shown and would cry whenever Ragna was ill. He was also terrified of the moon, thinking it would crash at any second; as he grew older, the fear of the moon turned into a hatred. As a teenager in the Military Academy, Jin was popular, cool, and calm, being seen as a model student by all.
Powers & Techniques
Born to oppose Ragna, Jin is an embodiment of Order with exceptional skills in Ars Magus. He wields his Nox, the Mucro Algesco: Yukianesa, with unrivalled skill, and utilizes it in an iajutsu style; he keeps the blade within its sheathe at most times, only drawing it to attack and defend. Jin's swordsmanship is elegant, with every strike being both precise and deliberate. He has owned the Nox all of his adult life; his control over Yukianesa's ice-related abilities allows him to create and shape water in the air and crystallize it, giving birth to a myriad of techniques. Some of the objects that Jin can create include swords of varying sizes, arrows, and beams of ice. His mere presence creates snowflakes in the air, and his Drive is Frost Bite.
Because of Order, Jin is completely immune to Phenomenon Intervention and the Immortal Breaker. His will is so strong he quite literally willed Platinum into existence, although it was not a permanent solution. His will is stronger than that of Yukianesa's, being able to keep its mental influences at bay. Even without Yukianesa, Jin is an accomplished martial artist who has received years of formal training from both the Kisaragi household and Military Academy. After a month of further training from Jubei to help him refine his control of Order and Yukianesa, Jin has become much more powerful; something that several characters including Hakumen and Relius remark on. [4][5]
During the civil war, Jin managed to break through the entirety of the Ikarugan defenses by himself without killing a single person - all while being goaded into killing by his Nox.
Unfortunately, Jin has lost his ability to fight per Trinity's deal - his body is unable to battle. As a Major with his own unit, Jin is likely an accomplished tactician and commander.

He is almost always cool and composed – the keyword being ‘almost.’ To most, he is apathetic and even cruel at times, but deep down he’s ambitious, competitive, and lonely. According to Ragna, however, he was a little cry baby in his youth.
He was adopted by one of the families of the Duodecim, the Kisaragi family, and there nurtured his talents into what they are today. He is given his own unit while still in the Military Academy, and only moments after graduating, he is sent to Ikaruga, where, his war efforts will earn him the infamous title. He will become the youngest commander of a unit that size, with the rank of major. He wins his commendations for bringing down the leader of the Federation, Tenjo; however, Jin doesn’t remember the details of the event because Terumi erased parts of his memory.
The mental strain placed upon Jin from his beloved Nox Nyctores: Yukianesa, causes him to behave irrationally when around Ragna. He is filled with attachment and murderous intent, often ignoring his orders to quench his thirst.
After he overcomes Yukianesa’s curse, he gains the Power of Order, and is able to control his will. Now under the guidance of none other than jubei, Jin sets off to free his childhood friend, Tsubaki, from the Imperator’s curse. His destination? Ikaruga.
Jin, Makoto and Noel encounter Tsubaki, where Jin uses the Power of Order to rid Tsubaki of her Immortal Breaker power, freeing her from the curse.
Then, Jin takes a stand against the Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi, with Noel and Ragna at his side, but is gravely wounded by Ragna’s hands after Ragna is affected by ν’s sword.[6]
