Minor characters

Minor characters play a very minor role – i.e. appear for a short time, are mentioned by someone, or just have a few lines – and as a result not much is known about them.

Artillery
Artillery (アーティーラリー) was a Union that Tōya Kagari defeated after the Embryo incident. His Drive allowed him to shoot bullets of compressed air. Artillery had the Crystal on his abdomen, and he was in Phase 4, but during the battle he went into Phase 5 and was killed. He appears in XBlaze – Lost: Memories.

Black Golden Tager
Black Golden Tager (ブラックゴールデン・テイガー) makes his appearance in the gag scenarios of the BlazBlue games. A massive mecha designed by Relius Clover. It is still being argued to this day if the robot is actually black or golden. It can move faster and has more power than even the Mechakaka, and almost brought the legendary Golden Tager to its knees.

Bob
Bob (ボブ) was Bullet’s match-up for the final qualifiers of Kagura Mutsuki’s battle of Ragna the Bloodedge during BlazBlue: Chronophantasma. However, he was crushed by Azrael before he could step into the arena. A very unfortunate warrior.

Clerk
The clerk (店員) is a recurring gag character that appears in the Chinese restaurant in Orient Town. She is very focused on her job and is very brash and straightforward. She is loud and has a very stereotypical Chinese accent, often leaving out connectives in sentences. Her only canon appearances are in Platinum the Trinity and Ragna the Bloodedge’s stories.

She appears in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift games and BlazBlue manga, where she is first shown.

Four

With the application of the Divine Beastial device (超獣神デバイス), he becomes the Divine Beastial Warrior: Golden Tager XX (超獣神 ゴールデン・テイガーXX). His special attack is the Beastial Sword, Dynamite Flashdown (超獣ソード ダイナマイトフラッシュダウン).

Han

Little Kakas
Little Kakas (チビカカたち) are part of the Kaka tribe. Most of the kittens lurking around Lost Town are all female. There really is no masculine or feminine traits among them.

Pakumen
Pakumen (パクメン) is something that resembles Hakumen very closely, but is in fact NOT Hakumen. He has the word “ZEA” printed on his torso, for some reason. It can be seen when Hakumen is hit by Amane’s Astral Heat.

Phantom Boy
The Phantom Boy (幻影の少年) is the “other” Tōya Kagari that was awakened when the power of the Original Grymoire was unleashed. Until then, he was trapped in an endless dream. As he controls the level of power available to Tōya when he uses the Grymoire, he calls himself the Arbiter (調停者). He exists in the deepest depths of Tōya’s subconscious and can only be encountered while sleeping or unconscious, though the memories of any encounter will disappear upon waking. It is unknown where his existence came from, though he said it could have been born by the magic element from Ripper or it could have been born as a self-defense mechanism.

Subordinates
The subordinates (部下) are Bang Shishigami’s familiars and remnants of the proud ninjas of Ikaruga. They are often seen by Bang’s side as his loyal followers after they all moved to Rōnin district after the Ikaruga Civil War. They have a very strong sense of duty and are caring. But on the flip-side, they can be easily brought to tears, and embody the spirit of an ancient eastern ninja. They refer to Bang as the “boss” (お頭).

In Japanese version, they are voiced by Shigeru Sakano (subordinate A), Tomokazu Sugita (subordinate B), Takeshi Yamanaka (subordinate C), and Seiji Fukumoto (subordinate D). Their English voice actors are Doug Stone, Spike Spencer, Ezra Weisz, Patrick Seitz and Darrel Guilbeau.

Tail
Ms. Tail (尻尾たん) is a non-canon gag scenario character in BlazBlue: Chronophantasma. She is Makoto Nanaya’s tail who has become detached and gained sentience. After eating with Valkenhayn and Taokaka a “natural instinct candy”, which forces their dormant beast genes to awake and become more prominent, urges of the Kaka overwhelmed her and she began to violently groom Makoto’s tail, which caused the dormant survival gene found in Kagutsuchi Island Squirrels to awaken, and the tail detached, giving birth to Ms. Tail.

She is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita in Japanese version, and by Cindy Robinson in English version.

Tartar
Mr. Tartar (ターターさん) is a bug that has higher intelligence than his counterparts. There are prophecies that state mankind’s civilization came to be as a result of Tartar, but there is still no academic research or evidence to back-up that claim. This insect is a mollusc class gastropoda, which are more commonly known as snails and slugs.

It appears in Lambda’s gag scenario in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift and in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift — Part 2 novel with its fate left ambiguous, and in BlazBlue: Alter Memory where it dies.

Terumen
Terumen (テルメン) is something that resembles Yūki Terumi in the Susanoo Unit very closely, but is in fact NOT Yūki Terumi. He has the word “TRM” printed on his torso, for some reason. It can be seen when Susanoo is hit by Amane’s Astral Heat.

Three
Three (スリー) was the third of the Ten Sages during the First Great Magic War. An elderly woman with a gentle personality. She was the most senior among the members who fought during the Great Dark War, and served as a leader to the Association. She was also one of Demon Guns: Bolverk’s owners.

Claire Vermillion
Claire Vermillion (クレア＝ヴァーミリオン) is Noel’s foster mother. She is a classy lady, and also kind, gentle and warm, but get on her bad side, and she’s not afraid to discipline. She is married to Edgar Vermillion.

Edgar Vermillion
Edgar Vermillion (エドガー＝ヴァーミリオン) is the head of the Vermillion family. He is Noel’s foster father, and godparent.

He and his wife, Claire, were unable to conceive naturally, and for many years were without an heir to their family; however, this soon changed after the Ikaruga Civil War, where Edgar met the amnesiac Mu-12 in the Ikaruga military hospital, and took her into her family, finding pity on her situation, and christened her as Noel Vermillion.

The Vermillions were once a renowned family, but as the World Void Information Control Organization began to tighten its fist on the world after the Ikaruga Civil War, Edgar bravely stood up to their tyranny and would often give harsh criticism towards their actions. This was met with harsh actions by the Twelve Originators, who where angered by such questioning of their authority. As a consequence, the Vermillion household was stripped of its nobility and sentenced to relegation under charges of “treason”.

Several years after they adopted Noel, the Vermillion household were to be banished from the Control Organization. When Noel found out about this, it became the main driving point for her to join the Military Academy: to save her family so that they may remain in the Control Organization.
