==Appearance==
==Appearance==


Hazama is a tall, thin man similar in terms of physical appearance to Yuuki Terumi’s human form. He has narrow eyes which appear as if they are permanently shut, and short green hair which he wears in a bowl cut. He is almost universally seen with a suspicious smile on his face. Hazama’s clothing consists of a dress suit with two brown belts and a wallet chain, a long black coat with two large golden buckles on it, and a matching black fedora. He also wears steel-toed shoes (in which he hides his butterfly knives) and a pair of brown fingerless gloves.

He also wears steel-toed shoes (in which he hides his butterfly knives) and a pair of brown fingerless gloves.


When Terumi takes full control of his body (paired with removing his hat and tie), Hazama’s hair spikes up to match Terumi’s human form, and his eyes open to reveal a snakelike appearance. Hazama is still able to take on this appearance even after he becomes a separate person from Terumi in [[BlazBlue: Central Fiction|Central Fiction]].

Due to his nature as an artificial human, Hazama’s body is hollow on the inside, as seen through the hole that [[Platinum the Trinity]] made in his chest. Despite this, he is capable of performing normal human functions such as breathing and eating food.

==Biography==
Initially, Hazama appears as a courteous man who is solely focused on his mission and manners. He addresses everyone with the appropriate honorifics, has a sense of humor, and maintains a professional courtesy at all times. His facade, however, belies the personality of a sadistic monster. Every word that comes from his mouth drips with poison designed to turn friends against each other, and he seemingly takes joy in mocking his opponents and even allies at every turn. Subtlety is his strong suit, and he relishes in making others experience pain.
===Ikaruga Civil War===
====an evil sign, Remix Heart, Spiral Shift====
With a permit from the Imperator, Hazama visited a laboratory that hosted [[Nu-13]]. He interrupted the scientists there who had just managed to finish the second part of her creation, and showed them his permit that would allow him to take Nu away from the area. After having slyly insulted the researchers, he was guided to the room where Nu lay, and Hazama traced his finger over her clavicle, remarking that she truly is the 13th device. He soon departed with Nu in tow. <ref>''BlazBlue Material Collection, Nu-13 Short Story - an evil sign''</ref>


Sometime during the civil war, Hazama was visited by Relius, who told him about the possibility of the [[Burning Red Grimoire]] being inside the [[Military Academy]]. Upon hearing this news, he travelled to the Academy. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 19''</ref> When he arrived at the cauldron of the city, he found [[Cypher Albar]] holding the Grimoire over the bodies of [[Shiori Kirihito]] and [[Mai Natsume]]. He seemingly killed Cypher, and took the Grimoire after looking down at Mai, making special note of her existence. Hazama soon left, not being found by [[Chachakaka]] when she travelled to the area later. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 24''</ref>
In some instances, it appears that Hazama is rather weak-willed; he will follow the orders of his superiors with little whim, using his blades and Ouroboros in their service. To others, however, Hazama will use every trick at his disposal to manipulate someone, always grinning even as he issues orders for those under his command to murder their friends. He has no qualms about murdering hundreds of people, especially those who trust him, and the exact toll of those he has killed under his command is unknown. Even though he wields a Nox Nyctores, Hazama has not been suffering from any adverse mental side-effects.


===Variable Heart===
Hazama does not understand pain or other human emotions, and it is his wish as one of the [[chosen]] to inflict pain across the population as well as truly experience it himself. The sheer thrill from being hurt is enough to send him into throes of joy.<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 008, Chapter 062''</ref> In his desperate attempts to understand others, Hazama has tortured others, not discriminating between targets.<ref>'' BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 094''</ref> Unlike Terumi, Hazama is rarely vulgar and rarer still allows his mask of an NOL captain to slip, but the times when he does are the most terrifying.
After the war ended, Hazama found Meifang bathing and told her that he was interested in what she was transporting to the [[13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi]]. She attacked him, and Terumi assaulted her. <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 04''</ref> Hazama watched as Meifang, with a group of [[Fuzzy]], battled against Jin and Mai, seeing her trying to turn herself into a Nox Nyctores. Eventually, Meifang lost, and Hazama noted that the event was generally uninteresting, but nonetheless left with [[Nine the Phantom]]. <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 18''</ref>


===Calamity Trigger===
In his own time, Hazama enjoys eating whole boiled eggs and collecting silver accessories. He is deathly allergic to cats, cat-[[beastkin]], and the [[Kaka]], and does his best to avoid them for his own health.
In the afternoon of the 30th of December, Hazama made his way into the [[13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi]] on board of an Ars Magus vessel. He travelled there with Noel under the guise of being her superior for retrieving Jin, who had gone AWOL. At the [[Kagutsuchi Port]], Hazama made Noel aware of Ragna's presence throughout the city, telling her that she could attempt to apprehend him, but that he didn't care - instead, he was to make his way to the NOL branch and continue with his "mission" to search for Jin. All the while, he was being watched by [[Rachel Alucard]]. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger  - Part 2, Chapter 1 - Orient Town''</ref>


Around midnight at the top of the NOL branch, Hazama called Relius, telling him that all the preparations had been completed. After the call had ended, the Captain briefly spoke with Terumi, the both of them lamenting over the amount of effort they had exhausted into this timeloop. The following afternoon, Hazama saw that Jin had begun to assault Noel, and he created a smokescreen to save her from Yukianesa's fatal slashes. Having escaped, Hazama told her to not aggravate the Major, and she should wait until night when Ragna would be likely to attack the NOL branch. He entangled her in more lies before leaving her with searching for Jin again before the day ended. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 3 - False Hero''</ref>  
==Powers & Techniques==
Despite his appearance being that of a slender and weak man, Hazama is far stronger than what his physical appearance suggests. He wields two [[wikipedia:balisong|balisong]] with a deadly precision, keeping both of them hidden from opponents until they are close enough for him to strike. He also has various throwing knives, smoke bombs<ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 3 - False Hero''</ref>, and shoe knives hidden in his heels. Like Terumi, Hazama appears to also be capable of creating green energy to fight. Throughout a battle, Hazama toys with his opponents, moving in a manner similar to dancing.


Inside the [[Cathedral]], Hazama found Noel next to Jin's unconscious body. He startled her and began to prepare arrangements for Jin to be taken on board of an Ars Magus vessel under the care of [[Ellen Nelson]]. After manipulating Noel into venturing deeper inside after Ragna, Hazama began to laugh loudly to himself. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 4 - Memorable Church''</ref> He walked deeper inside the facility, finding himself at the [[Sheol Gate]] and witnessed that Noel had broken the timeloops by saving Ragna from Nu-13 - she had become the Successor of the Azure. Hazama allowed Terumi to take over and forced Noel to [[Observer|Observe]] him. Hazama and Terumi had finally mind-melded and they left the facility after damaging it with Ouroboros and briefly fighting [[Iron Tager]]. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 5 - Calamity Trigger - Successor to the Azure''</ref>
As he wields the Geminus Anguium: Ouroboros, Hazama has the ability to use its chains in battle. He can quickly swing himself across the battlefield using the chains, becoming a difficult target to hit. This is reflected in gameplay, where his [[Drive]] is '''{{h|Ouroboros}}''', and by throwing out the Nox, he can use it propel himself across the screen to fight, being a highly agile and difficult to hit opponent. Hazama also uses Ouroboros to ensnare opponents, constricting them and being able to lift them far above the ground with minimal effort. He can summon it at any time he desires, and is also capable of employing strong [[Ars Magus]] in battle. Ouroboros' snare is so strong that not even [[Iron Tager]] can break free from its grasp<ref>''BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Story Mode, Iron Tager - loyalty, Bad Ending''</ref> and the Nox has the ability to stir the emotions and memories of those in its grip.<ref>''BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Teach Me, Miss Litchi! Episode 5 - Ars Armagus? Nox Nyctores? What the?''</ref>


===Continuum Shift===
Hazama is unique as he is a living [[Grimoire]], specifically a Blue Grimoire. He is able to directly access the [[Boundary]] similar to a [[cauldron]] and the [[Azure Grimoire]], and employ [[seithr]] to directly strengthen himself, his Ars Magus, and Ouroboros. Hazama is also able to fuse with a [[Boundary Interface Prime Field Device]] and become a [[Kusanagi]] or a [[Black Beast]], but neither has happened.

Owing to his nature as a master manipulator, Hazama is a cunning tactician and, despite all his strengths, does not like fighting, often leaving others to do it in his stead. As he was usually sharing his body with Terumi, the two could switch at a moment's notice, changing tactics and fighting styles, but this is no longer the case as they have separated.

Along with many others, Hazama was absorbed into the Embryo, although the details of his memories being altered remain hazy. He met Terumi in Kagutsuchi’s NOL branch, and was detailed about the events that had transpired with everyone being taken into the Embryo and the circumstances both he and everyone else was in. <ref>''’BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 002, Chapter 009, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> He eventually found Noel in [[Roningai]], and directed her to the [[Kaka Village]] under Terumi’s orders. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 016''</ref> Much later on, Hazama visited Kagura, and was taken by Noel to Ragna’s cell in the NOL branch where he interrogated Ragna, binding him with Ouroboros and revoking several of his traumatising memories. He stopped when the branch was under attack <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 027''</ref>, and made his way to the cauldron where he watched as Nu and Noel battled and then as Ragna took Noel’s place. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 033''</ref>
===''[[BlazBlue: Central Fiction]]'' Library Entry===
;Hazama
''A Captain in the NOL's Intelligence Department, codenamed Hazama.


He was transported with Terumi to Ikaruga by Nine and was told that killing Izanami would grant him a piece of the Azure. He began discussing things with Terumi, finding out that his wish was to fuse with him and that the Azure could do just that. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 006, Chapter 043''</ref> In Kazamotsu, he found Noel and Mai – pretending to have orders from higher up, he attempted to arrest the former but was stopped by the latter; despite Mai’s best efforts, Hazama soundly beat her. Sadly, for Hazama, he was stopped by Kagura and was forced to give both of his victims up. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 006, Chapter 050''</ref>
''His constant gentle expression makes it difficult to grasp his true intentions. He avoids confrontation, always bowing and giving way to whomever he speaks, but that does not mean he's a pushover. It would not be an understatement to say his schemes have schemes of their own, and seldom will his plans fail.  


[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 48.png|thumb|left|Hazama’s first taste of pain]]Somehow, Hazama found himself in an alternate version of the Embryo, finding Mu-12 within it. He took her to the Altar above Kagutsuchi and waited for Ragna to appear – when he did, Hazama told him about his desire to feel pain, and showed the “scar” on his chest before ordering Mu to kill him while he escaped. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 008, Chapter 062''</ref>
''His true identity is in fact one of the Six Heroes who defeated the Black Beast, Yuuki Terumi. Terumi is a violent, inhumane character, who finds pleasure in watching others suffer.


Hazama fought Izanami and claimed his piece of the [[Azure]] <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Arcade Mode, Hazama, Act II''</ref>, later finding Terumi and demanding that they fuse using the Azure piece so that Hazama can be in control and experience true power, if only for a while. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 079''</ref> Terumi later used the [[Hihiirokane]] to separate himself from Hazama, and the two parted ways after Terumi absorbed it into himself. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 086, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> He later found Rachel within the frozen space-time, and bound her near a cauldron with the same device he used to torture Saya. He left her there, wondering what would happen if he cut Rachel into pieces and threw them into the Boundary. At some point, he came back, telling her that Izanami had been defeated, acknowledging that the vampire had suffered enough pain to die over ten times already. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 091''</ref> He saw Relius off as the puppeteer jumped into the Boundary. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 093''</ref>
''The current vessel, ‘Hazama' is Relius's creation during the Dark War.


[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 71(B).png|thumb|right|Off to a new “possibility”]]Hazama was soon found by Ragna, where he revealed that he had tortured Saya years before, and that he was currently torturing Rachel to his heart’s content. The two battled, and the hatred Ragna held towards Hazama allowed him to activate his own Azure Grimoire. He was defeated and nearly killed by Ragna had [[Naoto Kurogane]] not intervened. Hazama then jumped into the cauldron after telling Trinity how much he hated her eyes. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 094''</ref>
''He plotted to use the Sword of the Godslayer, Kusanagi to destroy the Master Unit in Kagutsuchi, but is stopped by Ragna. Finding the silver lining in his mission's failure, however, he seizes the Takamagahara that once controlled him.

''Once again, he plots to bring the Master Unit down to earth, and destroy it, so he heads for Ikaruga. Together with Relius, he operates in the shadows, under the Imperator's watchful eye and guidance.
Hazama reappeared in the ''Bloodedge Experience'' possibility. For unknown reasons, he appears much younger, looking like a teenager, and is seemingly aligned with the [[Mitsurugi Agency]]. He appeared in front of Valkenhayn and Relius when they apprehended [[Saya Terumi]].<ref>''BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 2, Outside Chapter - Fragment''</ref>

Blazblue: The Wheel of Fortune

Hazama (ハザマ), also known as Corporal Honoka (ホノカ伍長), was a Captain of the Novus Orbis Librarium. He was the former vessel of Yuuki Terumi, created by Relius Clover, and a former wielder of the Nox Nyctores - Geminus Anguium: Ouroboros. Hazama is an Blue Grimoire who seeks nothing but pain as it is something he cannot truly feel.

Appearance

Hazama is a tall, thin man similar in terms of physical appearance to Yuuki Terumi's human form. He has narrow eyes which appear as if they are permanently shut, and short green hair which he wears in a bowl cut. He is almost universally seen with a suspicious smile on his face. Hazama's clothing consists of a dress suit with two brown belts and a wallet chain, a long black coat with two large golden buckles on it, and a matching black fedora. He also wears steel-toed shoes (in which he hides his butterfly knives) and a pair of brown fingerless gloves.

When Terumi takes full control of his body (paired with removing his hat and tie), Hazama's hair spikes up to match Terumi's human form, and his eyes open to reveal a snakelike appearance. Hazama is still able to take on this appearance even after he becomes a separate person from Terumi in Central Fiction.

Due to his nature as an artificial human, Hazama's body is hollow on the inside, as seen through the hole that Platinum the Trinity made in his chest. Despite this, he is capable of performing normal human functions such as breathing and eating food.

Personality

At first glance, the man looks like a reserved and weak-willed young man. He is constantly smiling and is well-mannered to almost everyone, but in reality, he could care less about anything that doesn't involve his mission.[2][3]

Initially, Hazama appears as a courteous man who is solely focused on his mission and manners. He addresses everyone with the appropriate honorifics, has a sense of humor, and maintains a professional courtesy at all times. His facade, however, belies the personality of a sadistic monster. Every word that comes from his mouth drips with poison designed to turn friends against each other, and he seemingly takes joy in mocking his opponents and even allies at every turn. Subtlety is his strong suit, and he relishes in making others experience pain.

In some instances, it appears that Hazama is rather weak-willed; he will follow the orders of his superiors with little whim, using his blades and Ouroboros in their service. To others, however, Hazama will use every trick at his disposal to manipulate someone, always grinning even as he issues orders for those under his command to murder their friends. He has no qualms about murdering hundreds of people, especially those who trust him, and the exact toll of those he has killed under his command is unknown. Even though he wields a Nox Nyctores, Hazama has not been suffering from any adverse mental side-effects.

Hazama does not understand pain or other human emotions, and it is his wish as one of the chosen to inflict pain across the population as well as truly experience it himself. The sheer thrill from being hurt is enough to send him into throes of joy.[4] In his desperate attempts to understand others, Hazama has tortured others, not discriminating between targets.[5] Unlike Terumi, Hazama is rarely vulgar and rarer still allows his mask of an NOL captain to slip, but the times when he does are the most terrifying.

In his own time, Hazama enjoys eating whole boiled eggs and collecting silver accessories. He is deathly allergic to cats, cat-beastkin, and the Kaka, and does his best to avoid them for his own health.

Powers & Techniques

Despite his appearance being that of a slender and weak man, Hazama is far stronger than what his physical appearance suggests. He wields two balisong with a deadly precision, keeping both of them hidden from opponents until they are close enough for him to strike. He also has various throwing knives, smoke bombs[6], and shoe knives hidden in his heels. Like Terumi, Hazama appears to also be capable of creating green energy to fight. Throughout a battle, Hazama toys with his opponents, moving in a manner similar to dancing.

As he wields the Geminus Anguium: Ouroboros, Hazama has the ability to use its chains in battle. He can quickly swing himself across the battlefield using the chains, becoming a difficult target to hit. This is reflected in gameplay, where his Drive is Ouroboros, and by throwing out the Nox, he can use it propel himself across the screen to fight, being a highly agile and difficult to hit opponent. Hazama also uses Ouroboros to ensnare opponents, constricting them and being able to lift them far above the ground with minimal effort. He can summon it at any time he desires, and is also capable of employing strong Ars Magus in battle. Ouroboros' snare is so strong that not even Iron Tager can break free from its grasp[7] and the Nox has the ability to stir the emotions and memories of those in its grip.[8]

Hazama is unique as he is a living Grimoire, specifically a Blue Grimoire. He is able to directly access the Boundary similar to a cauldron and the Azure Grimoire, and employ seithr to directly strengthen himself, his Ars Magus, and Ouroboros. Hazama is also able to fuse with a Boundary Interface Prime Field Device and become a Kusanagi or a Black Beast, but neither has happened.

Owing to his nature as a master manipulator, Hazama is a cunning tactician and, despite all his strengths, does not like fighting, often leaving others to do it in his stead. As he was usually sharing his body with Terumi, the two could switch at a moment's notice, changing tactics and fighting styles, but this is no longer the case as they have separated.

BlazBlue: Central Fiction Library Entry

Hazama

A Captain in the NOL's Intelligence Department, codenamed Hazama.

His constant gentle expression makes it difficult to grasp his true intentions. He avoids confrontation, always bowing and giving way to whomever he speaks, but that does not mean he's a pushover. It would not be an understatement to say his schemes have schemes of their own, and seldom will his plans fail.

His true identity is in fact one of the Six Heroes who defeated the Black Beast, Yuuki Terumi. Terumi is a violent, inhumane character, who finds pleasure in watching others suffer.

The current vessel, ‘Hazama' is Relius's creation during the Dark War.

He plotted to use the Sword of the Godslayer, Kusanagi to destroy the Master Unit in Kagutsuchi, but is stopped by Ragna. Finding the silver lining in his mission's failure, however, he seizes the Takamagahara that once controlled him.

Once again, he plots to bring the Master Unit down to earth, and destroy it, so he heads for Ikaruga. Together with Relius, he operates in the shadows, under the Imperator's watchful eye and guidance.

While he succeeds in bringing down v-No.13- to the mortal realm, Trinity Glassfille sacrifices herself to impede his progress. He falls into a lake in the Ruins of Ibukido, and is henceforth never heard from again.[12]

By throwing out chains he can make confined movements around the screen, and is a tricky character. Once he gets in close, chain Serpent's Infernal Rapture into a combo to settle it![13]
