Despite being the Susano'o Unit itself, Susano'o has a different look while his soul resides within it. The gray sheen of the unit's outer armour is tinted charcoal while the inner plates are much darker. Unlike in its base form, the unit now has a face, with glowing green eyes and a large grin lined with sharp teeth. His hands now have large claws on the end of his nails, and on each shoulder is a pauldron shaped the same as his mask. Susano'o is distinct in that while his soul possesses his body, it grows a large tail, and its hair becomes untamed, longer, and is as deep black as the rest of his body. Throughout his body, large vibrant lines of green are present, extending from his ankles to his the tips of his hair. He stands over 200cm tall.

Even though Susano'o and Terumi are one and the same, while in the Susano'o Unit, he behaves radically differently. Susano'o looks down on humanity, but has no wish to conquer it - instead, all the God wishes for is the destruction of everything. There is no laughter, taunting, or witty comment from Susano'o, only a calm rage and undying hatred for everything his sister, Amaterasu, has created. To this end, he is very confident in his abilities and status. He shows no mercy or tolerance for anything or anyone.

==Biography==
==Powers & Techniques==


As one of the Sankishin, the Susano'o Unit has existed for as long as the Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi Units have. Eventually, the Unit began to grow a [[soul]] and recognised its own identity - this was the birth of Susano'o. He longed for freedom, to be free from the endless cycle of him destroying everything that Amaterasu would create so he could be his own individual.
A true God, Susano'o is one of, if not the most powerful entity in the ''BlazBlue'' universe. He's able to effortlessly defeat multiple characters at once. He even claims it was difficult for him to hold back and may accidentally kill the ones he defeated. The only character capable of keeping up with him is Ragna, but only by removing the [[Idea Engine|Idea Engine's]] limiter on his [[Azure Grimoire]], a technique that nearly destroyed his body in the process. He can create amasses of green energy with the movements of his body, even being able to create a giant sword of it, one which can deal significant damage - however, he prefers to fight with his fists over using any weapons, and is much more flexible and coordinated than his size would suggest. His [[Drive]] is '''{{h|Divine Warrior}}''', which lets him unlock or power up one of eight special moves when his attacks connect.  


To accomplish his goal, Susano'o allowed his body to be discovered by humanity as they salvaged him from the [[Boundary]] where he and his siblings had been resting. Through this, Amaterasu was discovered and the [[Prime Field War]] would soon ensue, but not before Susano'o's soul discarded the unit and became its own individual, Yuuki Terumi. Terumi inhabited the bodies of many vessels afterwards.
One of his greater assets is his incredible knowledge. Susano'o's intellect befits his status as a God. Despite being one, however, he does not demonstrate complete omniscience or omnipotence, but that does not mean that he is not overwhelmingly intelligent nor powerful. His only real weakness is his soul's discomfort of being inside the Unit, which makes the fusion imperfect and leaves him susceptible to [[Soul Eater]] and Hihiirokane, although both are very specific weaknesses.
 
===Life as Yuuki Terumi===


[[Yuuki Terumi#Biography|For the events of Susano'o's life as Terumi, please read his respective biography.]]
Because of his deep roots in the structure of the world, Susano'o gained strength through the fear and hatred of others towards him, which was central to his plan to becoming stronger than the Black Beast. However, thanks to Ragna and Jin's gamble in which they altered people's perception of Susano'o to one of a hero who slayed the Black Beast, he lost the ability to draw on this strength. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 097''</ref>

Takehaya Susano'o (スサノオ) is the complete existence of Yuuki Terumi and the Susano'o Unit. He is one of the Sankishin, a God of destruction, and brother to the Amaterasu Unit and Tsukuyomi Unit.

Susano'o became playable when BlazBlue: Central Fiction released on consoles on October 6, 2016. He could be seen briefly in the Central Fiction console opening prior to release on September 20, 2016. He was later added to arcades on December 8, 2016.[4]

Appearance

Susano'o

Despite being the Susano'o Unit itself, Susano'o has a different look while his soul resides within it. The gray sheen of the unit's outer armor is tinted charcoal while the inner plates are much darker. Unlike in its base form, the unit now has a face, with glowing green eyes and a large grin lined with sharp teeth. His hands now have large claws on the end of his fingers, and on each shoulder is a pauldron shaped the same as his mask. Susano'o is distinct in that while his soul possesses his body, it grows a large tail, and its hair becomes untamed, longer, and is as deep black as the rest of his body. Throughout his body, large vibrant lines of green are present, extending from his ankles to the tips of his hair. Another distinction of being possessed by his soul is that Susano'o grows even bigger than Hakumen who already stands over 200cm tall, being taller, bulkier, and heavier than him.

Personality

A tyrant who realizes cruel and outrageous acts. The influence of the Susano'o Unit coils around Terumi's body, not only changing his speech pattern but also making the urge to destroy irresistable. However, it also seems that his fusion with the Unit is not perfect. [5]

Even though Susano'o and Terumi are one and the same, while in the Susano'o Unit, he behaves radically different. Susano'o looks down on humanity, but has no wish to conquer it - instead, all the God wishes for is the destruction of everything. There is no laughter, taunting, or witty comment from Susano'o, only a calm rage and undying hatred for everything his sister, Amaterasu, has created. To this end, he is very confident in his abilities and status. He shows no mercy or tolerance for anything or anyone.

The only things Susano'o seems to value are freedom and destruction.

Powers & Techniques

A true God, Susano'o is one of, if not the most powerful entity in the BlazBlue universe. He's able to effortlessly defeat multiple characters at once. He even claims it was difficult for him to hold back and may accidentally kill the ones he defeated. The only character capable of keeping up with him is Ragna, but only by removing the Idea Engine's limiter on his Azure Grimoire, a technique that nearly destroyed his body in the process. He can create amasses of green energy with the movements of his body, even being able to create a giant sword of it, one which can deal significant damage - however, he prefers to fight with his fists over using any weapons, and is much more flexible and coordinated than his size would suggest. His Drive is Divine Warrior, which lets him unlock or power up one of eight special moves when his attacks connect.

One of his greater assets is his incredible knowledge. Susano'o's intellect befits his status as a God. Despite being one, however, he does not demonstrate complete omniscience or omnipotence, but that does not mean that he is not overwhelmingly intelligent nor powerful. His only real weakness is his soul's discomfort of being inside the Unit, which makes the fusion imperfect and leaves him susceptible to Soul Eater and Hihiirokane, although both are very specific weaknesses.

Because of his deep roots in the structure of the world, Susano'o gained strength through the fear and hatred of others towards him, which was central to his plan to becoming stronger than the Black Beast. However, thanks to Ragna and Jin's gamble in which they altered people's perception of Susano'o to one of a hero who slayed the Black Beast, he lost the ability to draw on this strength. [6]
