Patch 1.50: ...I don't have to say anything here, do I? Sorry that you're not getting the interactions that you wanted in game, but it looks like I'm going to have to make a needed return. If you want the new characters for the series. look for at the DLC section for each series I added at the last post for the new characters. (i.e. At the end of the BlazBlue section you'll find Nine, Izayoi, Nine, Mai, and now Naoto Kurogane) If you're looking for Heart, I'm putting her after the RWBY section (at the very end).
BlazBlue
Iron Tager 4 (He's been Ragna's first rival fight ever since their meeting back in CT. That means something to me)
Intro
Ragna: Never thought we'd be fighting side-by-side, Red Devil. (Swings his sword around before placing it on his belt)
Tager: (Adjusts glasses) I have my doubts, but as long as we accomplish our objective I can take no issue.
Partner Win
Tager: (Flexes) That was… surprisingly effective.
Ragna: (Stabs Aramasa into the ground) Yeah, effective… they still alive?
Outro
Ragna: Just give me a straight answer, does Kokonoe have ANYthing to do with this?
Tager: Most of the time I have no idea what she's thinking. While this certainly doesn't feel like her work, I can't discard the possibility.
Hazama 5 (This is the closest that we could've gotten to a proper Hero/Villain… and Ragna still has to suffer a support with PLATINUM? Ugh.)
Intro
Hazama: (Adjusts tie) Aw, look at the two of us, playing side-by-side so nicely.
Ragna: (Scratching his hair) Just stay the hell away from me… you goddamn freak.
Partner Win
Ragna: (Dark Wing) I hope you liked that, cause I'm beating the shit out of you next!
Hazama: (Takes tie off) Oh ho ho! Someone's getting cocky!
Outro
Ragna: Get back here! I ain't done with you yet!
Hazama: So sorry, but I have too many loose ends to waste my time fighting you. Be a good boy and keep trying to kill that sister of yours, okay?
Makoto Nanaya 2 (While they don't have the strongest canon interactions, I can't help but feel that Mori could make it fun between these two)
Intro
Makoto: (Twirls tonfas before clashing them) I'm counting on you here Ragna! …That feels a little weird to say.
Ragna: (Kneeling sword animation) Just focus on the enemy; I'll do what I gotta.
Partner Win
Makoto: (Double punch then wins pose) Woohoo! Nailed it!
Ragna: (Darkness wing) You barely left anything for me! ...Whatever.
Outro
Makoto: Thanks for the support, but the next time we meet…
Ragna: Yeah, yeah, we'll be enemies.. Let's just agree to turn the other way, alright?
Es 3 (I feel like Ragna could offer her more than just… her generic pudding trope, though I'll still pay homage to it here)
Intro
Es: (Teleports in) Your chances of finding the Azure are currently… 0.0026%; well above average.
Ragna: (Head scratch) Uh… that a compliment?
Partner Win
Ragna: (Stabs sword into the ground) I can't waste my time trying to find whatever the hell the Azure is, keep it to yourself.
Es: (shrugs) ...1%
Ragna: Wait, why'd it go up?
Outro
Es: Ragna the Bloodedge… My database indicates that you are a competent chef. I'd ask that you begin preparations for pudding.
Ragna: Pudding? Here? You really think this is the time for that?
BlazBlue (DLC + Update 1.50)
Nine the Phantom 5 (I've noticed that Nine is a lot less malicious in this game than she is in Central Fiction. This makes me think that despite her appearance, they're using a personality much closer to the Dark War version of the character… and that meshes perfectly with Ragna)
Intro
Ranga: (Kneeling on the ground) Finally, a time where you won't be throwing those damn spells my way.
Nine: (Twirling her hat on her finger) Aw, and here I thought we were friends.
Ragna: (Rises) ...We both know that sure as hell ain't the case.
Partner Win
Nine (shrugs): I'm impressed; you've actually learned how to use the Azure. And here I thought that you were only swearing and swinging.
Ranga: (stabs sword) Hey, whatever works, right?
Outro
Ragna: I don't care what the hell I have to fight through; the Black Beast, the Library, the whole damn world… I won't stop until I reach the end.
Nine: You still have such a foolish way of thinking… Yet I can't help but envy you to a degree.
Izayoi 4 (Honestly, the way these two hate each other just warrants an interaction)
Intro
Izayoi (praying with her weapon): Once I am done with these obstacles… I shall end your stain upon this world…
Ragna (twirls his sword): All this time and you still believe that crap? Good grief.
Partner Win
Izayoi (points her blade): And now…
Ragna: Hey look, there's (depending on who's not present) Jin/Noel/Makoto. (Runs)
Izayoi: J-Jin!?/N-Noel!?/M-Makoto!? Where are you!? I-! (Runs) RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE!
Outro
Izayoi: Prepare yourself Ragna the Bloodedge, today I shall finally have you answer for your crimes.
Ragna: Tch, all of that and not even a Thank You? You're just ASKING for this.
Mai Natsume 3 (I'll admit that I haven't read Remix Heart, but I know that the two of them have worked together in the past before Ragna graduated from Jubei)
Intro
Mai: (shuffling on her feet with her spear behind her) Hehe, someone's grown up a lot.
Ragna: (Twirls his sword) Heh, looks like I'm not the only one.
Outro
Ragna: (Darkness Wing) Nice spearwork you got there, you've gotten pretty strong.
Mai: (Thumbs Up) You too! Let's keep this going!
Win Quote
Mai: *Sighs* Man… after a great match like that I'm starting to get a little hungry. Oh! Maybe if we find Noel she'll give us some of her cooking!
Ragna: N-Noel!? Cooking!? ...She's gotta be talking about someone else…
Naoto Kurogane 5 (This is an interaction that a lot of people were looking forward to, so they justifiably felt robbed when there were no specific encounters shown)
Intro
Naoto (getting a few pops out of his wrist as he looks at his opponent): Looks like fighting through is our only option here… not that I expected anything else honestly.
Ragna (adjusts collar): Tch, since when has talking someone out of a fight ever worked for either of us?
Naoto: (ready stance) You've got me there...
Partner Win
Naoto (first part of bloodwing pose) Ugh… What's this feeling? I'm getting… weaker?
Ragna (gripping his own arm): Dammit, there's some kind of interference from the kid… and me.
Outro
Naoto: I still have plenty of questions for you, but I feel like if we stick together any longer anyone in this crazy place could step in and finish us off. We'll settle this later on our own time, got it?
Ragna: Fine, just try not to get yourself killed until then, brat. I've got too much shit on my plate to waste time babysitting.
Persona
Yosuke Hanamura 1 (I don't see anything special)
Intro
Yosuke (crossing his arms): Let's not kill anyone… please?
Ragna (adjusts his collar): It's up to them… but fine.
Partner Win
Yosuke: (throws kunai in the air) Sc-scary!
Ragna (Darkness wing) Glad I'm on your side?
Outro
Ragna: Well that's them done with… Let's split ways here.
Yosuke: That works for me… No offense, but I don't think my heart could take standing by yo- WAIT! I didn't mean it like that!
Chie Satonaka 4 (They met in story mode and I think they can mesh enough)
Intro
Chie: (wipes her nose) Oh yeah! Chie and Ragna coming at you red hot!
Ragna: (Scratches his head) Uh… Don't you use water... and ice?
Partner Win
Chie: (Martial Arts pose) Come on Ragna-san! Show me a couple more of your moves!
Ragna: (Stabs sword into the ground) Sorry, but this stuff ain't for kids.
Outro
Chie: When I'm fighting along someone like you I feel like I can take on the world! Let's do this again sometime!
Ragna: ...You know what? Sure. Just promise to stay alive until then and you've got a deal.
Yukiko Amagi 3 (Four words; Amigi. Inn. Gag Reel)
Intro
Ragna: (Impaled Sword swing) I'll take the front; you back me up. Got it?
Yukiko: (Persona clothes change) I understand, I happen to excel at support.
Partner Win
Ragna: (Darkness Wing) Play with fire like that and all you get is burned…
Yukiko: Play with fire and… (unique animation: uncontrolled laughter)
Ragna: ...The hell did I say?
Outro
Yukiko: As long as you're willing to leave your sword behind, I'd be happy to assist you with reservations at the Amagi Inn. I'll even cut you a discount and let you use our famous hot springs.
Ragna: Hot springs eh? Not sure I'll ever get the chance to… but thanks for the offer.
Kanji Tatsumi 5 (Similar attitudes, met in story mode, and they partner up against Rachel and Hakumen? Seems like a waste honestly)
Intro
Kanji (flexes and summons Persona): Enemy looks kinda tough, you ready for this, old man?
Ragna (kneeling sword position): Ready as you are, punk…
Ragna/Kanji: LET'S DO THIS!
Partner Win
Kanji: (sits in his chair) Hah! Never stood a chance!
Ragna: (Darkness Wing) Not bad; you pulled your weight that fight.
Outro
Kanji: Hey Ragna-senpai, don't go kicking the bucket before we get a chance for our one-on-one. I gotta see what a real man can do for myself.
Ragna: Real man, eh? ...Thanks kid.
Naoto Shirogane 4 (Criminal and Detective? Seems like there's a possibility here)
Intro
Naoto: (Pockets book) To think I'd have to team up with a criminal…
Ragna: To think I'd have to team up with a snot nosed brat. See? I can make insults too.
Partner Win
Naoto (summons persona): Between my smarts and your raw power this is a rather effective team up.
Ragna: (stabs sword) A Detective and a Criminal… I've heard of worse.
Outro
Ragna: That's a pretty effective cross dress you got going, almost couldn't tell without seeing your soul.
Naoto: Y-You can tell? ...Follow up question, you have the ability to see souls?
Persona DLC + (Update 1.5)
Mitsuru Kirijo 4 (I can't help but feel like she'd be more understanding of Ragna's position than most people. Is it just me?)
Intro
Mitsuru: (Draws her rapier) Our opponents look extremely capable this time around… Can I count on your support this fight?
Ragna: (Kneeling with his sword) Go ahead and I'll do the same, just don't hold me back.
Partner Win
Mitsuru: (throws her coat off) Merci Beaucoup, that power makes you an excellent partner.
Ragna: (stabs his sword into the ground) Same, feels kinda nice to have someone level headed watch my back for once.
Outro
Ragna: Be careful out there, there are a lot of crazy assholes from my world out there that are gonna try and tear you to shreds.
Mitsuru: Such a dangerous world you seem to hail from; I doubt I should be traveling alone then. May I accompany you just a while longer?
Akihiko Sanada 4 (While nothing really sparks, again I can't help but feel as if the Persona cast would be much more reasonable)
Intro
Akihiko: (Standing hooded with his cape in the breeze) That sword of yours looks like it weighs a solid ton. Probably provides a pretty good workout swinging that thing around.
Ragna: (Twirling his sword) It used to, but now I can barely notice its weight. Care for a demonstration?
Akihiko: (Removes his hood) Heh, looking forward to it.
Partner Win
Akihiko: (summons Caesar) Phew! After an awesome fight like that I could go for a protein drink! ...Want one?
Ragna: (scratching his head) Er… I think I'll stick with my own cooking for now.
Outro
Akihiko: That way you fight's pretty foreign to me, but I can tell that you're a force to be reckoned with. How exactly did you get this power?
Ragna: I guess you could say that the guy that trained me was strongest being on the planet… Heh, I know that look. We get the chance, I'll introduce ya to him.
Labrys 5 (Another Robot girl… yeah, this one should've been in the DLC)
Intro
Labrys: (looking Ragna over) Jus' by lookin' at ya, I can tell you're a troublemaker.
Ragna: (scratches his head) Just by looking at me, eh? I can tell plenty about you as well.
Labrys: (Blushing) Hey! Eyes on the opponents!
Ragna: Wha-? You started it!
Partner Win
Ragna: You've got a deadly axe there…
Labrys: An' you got a pretty deadly arm.
Ragna: Heh, eyes to yourself.
Labrys: Heh heh...
Outro
Ragna: Human, Robot, I don't give a damn what you are… I promised myself that no matter what I am, I'll fight as a human until my dying breath. Whatever you are, it's on you to choose on what you're going to do with it.
Labrys: And I know what I'm gonna to do, I'm going look after my friends… and I guess now I'll be lookin' out for you too Ragna-san.
Teddie 2 (After much internal debating, I gave Teddie a lower rank. Given Ragna's luck and personality, Teddie would likely treat him as a Kanji/Yosuke mix which wouldn't matter all that much considering both are here)
Intro
Teddie (Pokes out from the side of the screen) Oh yeah, time for Teddie to bear his stuff!
Ragna: (kneeling with sword impaled in the ground) What's with this thing's soul? It ain't normal.
Teddie: (Looks at Ragna) Did you say something?
Partner Win
Teddie (Reveals Miss Teddie): They were taken away by my Bear-y perfect bod!
Ragna (Scratching his hair) ...WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CROSS DRESSING!?
Outro
Teddie: Don't feel too bad, I'm sure that if you do enough crunches you'll be just as grizzly as Teddie one day.
Ragna: Ugh… It's hard to fight seriously when you're making such unbearable puns… What? What did I say?
Under Night
Linne 3 (Most of this is her similarity to Rachel)
Intro
Ragna: (swings sword with back to camera) Another long-lived little girl… How many does this make?
Linne: (hooded pose) I'm not the first? You've travelled around then…
Partner Win
Ragna (Darkness wing): Half expected you to force that dragon thing to be your shield.
Linne: (suspicious look) What kind of sadist would… never mind.
Outro
Linne: You and Hyde are both… forget I said anything.
Ragna: Hey! Don't drop something that concerns me so casually!
Waldstein 2 (Just another giant of a man)
Intro
Waldstein (roar): Show me the strength you've gained through your countless battles!
Ragna (scratch hair): For the love of... calm down already.
Partner Win
Waldstein (roar): None can stand to my true might!
Ragna (Darkness wing) Is he done boosting yet? Jeeze…
Outro
Waldstein: I sense a great power… A hidden one that you have yet to bring forth in this place. Why do you keep cowering behind such a facade?
Ragna: Honestly? Because I don't need it and I'm tired of people begging me to bring it out like you are.
Carmine 4 (His similarity to Terumi is just too obvious)
Carmine: (Hair turns crimson) Let me rip them all to bloody shreds!
Ragna: (twirls sword) Dammit, now I gotta keep an eye on this asshole…
Partner Win
Carmine: (Grabs blood and pulls) YOU BASTARD! LET ME DO WHAT I WANT!
Ragna: (Darkness wing) Not a chance in hell, I ain't staying on your sidelines.
Ourtro
Carmine: The hell was that!? I felt like you were fighting all three of us out there!
Ragna: Oh, so you're not a complete idiot. Come on, I ain't done with you yet.
Gordeau 5 (Just… LOOK AT THEM)
Intro
Ragna: (unique: holding his weapon in scythe form over his shoulder) You ready for this, Black Scythe Bastard?
Gordeau (scythe over shoulder and rises to his feet): Ready as I'll ever be, Grim… Sorry if I get a little Greedy out there.
Ragna: As long as we win I don't have a problem.
Ragna/Gordeau: GRIM REAPER!
Partner Win
Ragna (stabs sword into the ground): You just went and picked a fight with TWO Reapers.
Gordeau (scythe over his shoulder): What'd you expect to happen?
Outro
Ragna: Sorry, but these Tag Fights are where I have to draw the line. I'm not up for joining any Organization, so look elsewhere.
Gordeau: Well that's a damn shame, you'd be an easy shoe in for our group. Just let me know if you change your mind; I'm sure the rest of Amnesia would LOVE a man of your talents.
Vatista 2 (We already have Nu…A little credit from story mode I guess)
Intro
Ragna (scratching his head): You're… not going to stab me with those things, are you?
Vatista (stretching): Hmm? Is this the result of a Phobia?
Partner Win
Ragna: (stabs sword into the ground) So many damn lasers…
Vatista: (leans back): As long as I do not have them aimed at you, you should be fine.
Ragna: ...That's what worries me.
Outro
Vatista: A question. Occasionally when I look at you the word brother seems to come to me, almost out of nowhere. Do you have any ideas why this might be?
Ragna: Urk… No… No damn reason… Just forget it…
Under Night (DLC +Update 1.50)
Merkava 3 (Well, I can make a few Arakune/Azrael puns at the very least)
Intro
Merkava: (Roaring) I… I HUNGER!
Ragna: (scratching his head) Dammit… not another one.
Partner Win
Merkava: This hunger shall be sated soon.
(Unique: Goes to carry off the opponent, but Ragna's kick/Hell's Fang (depending on distance) stops him.
Ragna: Tch, you ain't getting a free meal here.
Outro
Ragna: This is the only shot I'm giving you; next time I see you doing something like this, you're dead.
Merkava: In that case may our paths never cross again. I cannot hope to hold my hunger back forever.
Mika 3 (Hey, it's more bearable Luna)
Intro
Mika: (Runs forward) Here comes Mika to save the day!
Ragna: (twirling his sword) What the hell's up with those gauntlets? Seriously…
Partner Win
Mika: (looks at Ragna) Why all of the staring? Did you fall for me?
Ragna: …(Runs) NOT RISKING IT!
Mika: Eh?
Outro
Ragna: Listen kid, I got a dangerous job ahead… so keep your distance, yeah?
Mika: Mika loves danger! Let's go find someone tough to fight together! Huh? Why are you running? Are we racing? I'm totally gonna win!
Yuzuriha 3 (Fellow masters of the sword, seems like a decent match)
Intro
Yuzuriha: (leaning over and looking at Aramasa) Oh… I like the design, not the most practical thing though, is it?
Ragna: (twirls and sets on his belt) Like I care, let's just get this over with.
Yuzuriha: Aw… someone's grumpy~!
Partner Win
Yuzuriha (select pose): That's an interesting style you got there… Does it have a name?
Ragna (stabs sword): Name? Shit, I dunno… Bloodedge Style?
Outro
Yuzuriha: You're a tricky one to read; I can tell that you've got plenty of formal training in you, but you seem to like to do your own thing too much to put in the effort.
Ragna: You're not wrong... even now my old master probably wants to beat my ass and have me commit to learning his way of fighting.
Seth 3 (Neutral on this one. While Seth is something of a highly requested character, Ragna already has an interaction with Blake that covers most of the big points)
Intro
Seth (brings knives out of seemingly nowhere): I see that you also have a connection with the shadows.
Ragna: Shadows? Think you mean Darkness. (Twirls sword around and places it on his belt).
Seth: If you insist, let's see what that dark power of yours can do.
Partner WIn
Ragna: (Stabs Aramasa into the ground) You've got some speed, I'll give you that.
Seth: (twirls his knives and they vanish) There's no such thing as a slow assassin… not one that's still alive anyway.
Outro
Ragna: Assassination ain't my style; I'll take my opponents head on and put 'em in the ground. You can just sneak around all you want.
Seth: That's sounds needlessly reckless and requires more effort than a single well planned strike… but if you have the power to act on such impulses, who am I to dissuade you?
RWBY
Weiss Schnee 3 (I'm... neutral on this one; she seems like they could mesh interestingly, but at the same time it's not required)
Intro
Weiss: (Brings out her Rapier) I won't allow anyone to know you fought alongside me, understood?
Ragna: (Twirls sword) That means that you'd have to kill our opponents… and you call me dark.
Weiss: Wh-wha-? No! That's not what I meant at all!
Partner Win
Weiss: (puts away rapier) You have some interesting moves… for a criminal.
Ragna: (Scratching his hair) Stuck up little… Tch, whatever.
Outro
Ragna: I'm a criminal, I'm evil, I'm the bane of the world. I've heard all of that so many times that I've started to go numb to it. I'm just doing what I have to and not letting anyone else tell me what to think. Can you really fault me for that?
Weiss: I suppose not… But I still feel it best if we stay out of each other's way. We may avoid further problems down the road.
Yang Xiao Long ...5 (I swear I'm not shipping! I seriously think these two work well in both story mode and in actual gameplay)
Intro
Yang (waving): Aw yeah, they won't stand a chance!
Ragna (adjusts collar): Try to be serious… please.
Yang (holds her fist out): When these chumps won't even get us to break a sweat? C'mon!
Ragna: (bumps fist): Spunky one, ain'tcha?
Partner Win
Yang (Victory Poses): That was a total breeze! Point for Team BURNEDGE!
Ragna (startled): Team BURNEDGE!? What the hell!?
Outro
Yang: So… your hair used to be blonde like mine, right? Any tips on how I can avoid letting it go silver like yours, cause ah… I kinda like my color.
Ragna: Well for one thing, I'd avoid letting your arm get cut off by a katana wielding psychopath… What's with that look?
Arcana Heart
Heart Aino 5 (Basically the only interaction that was guaranteed with Ragna was that he would be talking with each head of their respective series. With no new interaction, this update ruined even that… Heart still sounds cute when she calls him for a Tag Assist though.)
Heart: (Pumps her fist into the air and creates a sparkle heart) Come on Mr. Ragna! Let's show them how strong we are!
Ragna: (Kneeling with sword impaled in the ground) Hey, drop the 'Mister'; you're making me sound older than I really am.
Partner Win
Heart (Fist pumps and winks) We showed them the strength of our love!
Ragna (Stabs his sword into the ground (even funnier if he impales someone)) Yeah… you're in the wrong world if you honestly believe that.
Outro
Ragna: I don't know how you saw things back home, but if you keep that up here you're going to end up with knife in your back. There are some seriously twisted bastards here, for your sake don't forget that.
Heart: But if your heart's strong enough you can overcome any challenge and turn anyone in a friend! You'll see, someday I'll show the power of love!
I'll start working on Yu soon enough and move onto Hyde eventually. Later!
