Jubei, formerly known as Mitsuyoshi, and known as the One-Eyed Lotus, is one of the Six Heroes who fought in the Dark War against the Black Beast and a cat-type beastkin, being the progenitor of the Kaka. Jubei was the husband of Nine the Phantom and is the father of Kokonoe. He has taught Ragna the Bloodedge, Jin Kisaragi, and Platinum the Trinity, also being the wielder of the Nox Nyctores - Mucro Somnio: Musashi.

Jubei first appeared in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger but was not made playable until years later as DLC for BlazBlue: Central Fiction.

Biography

Central Fiction

Becoming one of the chosen, Jubei was absorbed into the Embryo, and his memories were altered to make him believe that the date was 12/31/2199, as well as other certain discrepancies. He found Ragna on the edge of Kagutsuchi, and warned him about his huge bounty before realising that his former pupil had lost all of his memory, not even recognising his old master. This startled the old beastkin, who had now realised that something was definitely wrong with the world he was in. He left Ragna a cryptic hint to head towards Kagutsuchi before going to do his own investigation.

In Orient Town, Jubei found Jin, and was greeted as if they had spoken recently, although to Jubei’s memories, he had spoken to him over ten years prior. They both departed on separate ways to conduct more investigations on the world.

Jubei’s memories returned to him and he found Jin, Trinity, and Platinum, warning them of the eleventh Nox Nyctores, and asking them to return to Yabiko with him since Kokonoe would need all the help she could get. . Before travelling to Yabiko, they dropped Platinum off at the Kaka Village. Totokaka looked at Jubei’s wounds, knowing them to be serious but he shrugged away her concern. He later told Platinum to materialise Hihiirokane so they could cut at Terumi’s soul, lending them the Sekkigan in order to do so since they had never seen the blade. Trinity, Jubei, and Jin travelled back to Yabiko and met with Kokonoe, Ragna, Celica, Kagura Mutsuki and Rachel. The beastkin revealed how that the entrance to Nine’s workshop is near impenetrable, and that there are specific locks that need to be opened to enter it.

Protecting his wife one last time

Jubei went the following morning as part of the strike squadron that was teleported to Nine’s workshop, standing guard over the entrance to the cauldron, and Nine found him. He was defeated, and thrown into the workshop next to the other members of the squadron. He listened to his wife’s explanation of the Prime Field War, her desire, the world, and why she created the Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem. He watched as Ragna defeated his wife, and ran to her side afterwards. Izanami arrived and threatened to kill them all, with Nu accompanying her. Jubei protected Nine from the onslaught of Nu’s attacks while Nine, using the Radiance of Extinguishment, was able to briefly bind Izanami and activate Requiem, freezing time. He protected his wife until her last moments, promising to meet her again in the afterlife. Instead of leaving the workshop, he stayed to battle Nu and ensure Requiem was safe so Nine’s death would not be in vain.

Nu and Jubei found themselves awakening outside the Amaterasu Unit and the old beastkin gave his best to prevent her from attacking the Master Unit despite his grievous wounds. Hakumen and Tsubaki arrived to help him, granting him rest from the weary battle. He talked to his daughter over a communications device, immediately realizing that it was a data copy, and not the real Kokonoe who had returned to seithr. He apologized for being a terrible parent to her, but the copy asked that he instead tell that to his real daughter when the chance presents itself. He looked after Nu alongside Tsubaki until he dissolved into seithr as well, he data backed up by Es.

Jubei was last seen in the new world created by Ragna, watching over Platinum as she was taken into Litchi’s care.

Library Entry

Jubei

One of the Six Heroes, who is also known as the One-Eyed Lotus. He is a long-living beastkin, who is one of the few people to have personally experienced the Dark War. He wanders the world and has friends in every part of the globe. At one point, he took Ragna under his wing and trained him.

A little uncouth, but is generous and dignified in his manner. One could say he is even more human than humans, and can be easily swayed from emotions.

He is Kokonoe's blood-related father, but their current relationship is shaky at best.

Mitsuyoshi

A beastkin warrior who fights with a katana and his razor-sharp claws. He believes in duty and humanity, and has a strong sense of justice. Under the request of his long-time friend, Clavis Alucard, he investigated Shuichiro Ayatsuki's research and findings.

Many of his clan died to the Black Beast, making his hatred for the monster stronger than normal.

He later changes his name to Jubei, and joins forces with the Six Heroes. After the Dark War came to a close, he marries one of the other members of the Six Heroes, Nine.
