Order

Order is a power that balances the world, keeping it in check. It gifts certain individuals with the Power of Order (秩序の力 chitsujo no chikara), allowing them to use their absolute willpower to help maintain this goal against threats to the world.

The most notable users of Order are Jin Kisaragi and Hakumen.

Information

Order exists to balance the world, preventing any one person or thing becoming too powerful and dominating it. It is a natural product, and its power is both given and obtained through absolute willpower.

Order can manifest in different ways with different people. With Jin, it makes him more powerful in order to counter his older brother, Ragna the Bloodedge, meaning that the two are nearly always equally matched. Celica A. Mercury was born to oppose seithr, and so can nullify it with her mere presence. Furthermore, as the Power of Order is one's absolute willpower, they are able to nullify Phenomenon Intervention and even ward off the Immortal Breaker with ease. Jin demonstrated this ability after having the Immortal Breaker used against him by Izayoi. The willpower of those with the Power of Order is enough to even will people into existence, albeit for brief periods. Jin used this technique with Platinum the Trinity.

Makoto Nanaya appears to have a form of the Power of Order, having gained it through her sheer willpower and determination to protect her friends. Although it is not as strong as the other wielders, it allowed her to be able to have faint recognition of memories that were distorted by the Embryo. Izayoi has also gained the Power of Order, having apparently inherited it from Jin's own weakness.

Order can manifest in objects as well. Crystals exist beneath Celica A. Mercury's Church that eliminate seithr in the air, similar to Celica herself. During the Dark War, the Six Heroes lured the Black Beast to this location and were able to kill it thanks to the crystals nullifying its seithr-based powers. The Power of Order can also sense the living status of objects such as cauldrons.

Relius Clover wished to create a world that was free of Order, hoping to eliminate it by obtaining the Azure and using the Detonator - Fluctus Redactum: Ignis to replace the Sankishin - Amaterasu Unit as the Goddess of a new world. His plan was ultimately unsuccessful.

Power of Order

A power possessed by Jin Kisaragi. It's a counter to those who threaten the world's order, and the larger the threat, the more this power grows.

Its original purpose was to 'keep the world in check', but this power is not associated with good or evil, and is not always used for the sake of justice. The source of the Power of Order is an 'absolute will', and it can ward off even Phenomena Intervention.

Quotes:

"No, Ragna. The world most certainly has need for you. You are the Destroyer... You are the one person with the capacity to destroy the Order that grips this world. This pointless, disgusting order. This world has gone mad, but it attempts to stabilize itself by repeating history, over and over. The force which maintains this stability is Order. It can manifest as anything; so long as it [Order] exists, so can the world. The world desires an ordered existence and will go to great lengths to maintain such. But you, you are a Destroyer - a threat to that Order - and as such, the world sees you as a threat to be eliminated. What does the human body do when it falls ill? [Ragna: ...Your immune system reacts to and fights off any bacteria that's in your body...] Yes your body will create antibodies. This mad world does the same. In this case, that "antibody" is Jin Kisaragi. Noel is one of the few with the power to calm the forces of Order..." - Rachel Alucard, BlazBlue Continuum Shift, Ragna Story mode

"...The heartbeat of the Black Beast... It's the pulse of the enemy that must be destroyed. But it doesn't seem to be coming from you [Ragna]. Its source must be somewhere else... I see... possibilities. This must be the continuum shift! I finally understand, Brother. You... you are also a possibility. The Dark One, the possible Destroyer of the World. The enemy of the world... Are you aware of that? [Ragna: "More or less. Both Master and that Rabbit told me the gist of it..."]... I'm going to kill that woman, Noel Vermillion. SHE is the enemy of the world. She is MY enemy! [Ragna: "Noel is the enemy of the world? I didn't think it possible, but is she a Murakumo Unit!?"] What? You mean you actually didn't know?" - Jin Kisaragi, BlazBlue Continuum Shift, Ragna Story mode

"The world likes equality. If somethin' gets too powerful, the world creates something new that can stand up to it. That's how we get Order. That's how nature keeps the balance. If things tip real far in one direction, the world needs somethin' just as powerful to push 'em back. The bigger that difference is, the bigger the power of Order. Hell, it can get so powerful it'll threaten the world itself. This power, the thing that shows up to restore that balance... It ain't good, but it ain't evil neither. So you think long an' hard about that power, son. That's what my friend [Hakumen?] told me to tell ya." - Jubei, BlazBlue Continuum Shift, Jin Story mode

"Jin, I heard this from my master, but you have some kind of power... Although he failed to specify exactly what kind of power that is. But when that power can overcome Yukianesa's... Then you will become my "greatest enemy"... At least so he says." - Ragna the Bloodedge, BlazBlue Continuum Shift, Jin Story mode

Trivia

• It is unknown if Nine the Phantom is a product of Order like her younger sister, Celica. She has the natural ability to attract seithr, as opposed to her sister's natural ability to repel it. However, in Central Fiction story mode, just as Ragna is about to fight Nine in her lab, Jin says, "In that case, you are an 'evil' that threatens Order... It seems we have no choice but to defeat you, if we're to make any progress." Indicating that she does not have the power of Order, but rather that she is an "enemy of the world", like Ragna and Noel. So she would actually be an enemy of Order, which makes it even more unlikely that she is a product of Order, but more likely rather that Order would manifest as something in response to Nine for the purpose of resisting her.
