Unlimited character

Unlimited characters are generally more powerful versions of the normal characters. Every character has an unlimited form that can be selected in the Character Select Screen. However, unlimited characters are only permitted in Versus Mode, Training Mode, Legion Mode (to an extent), and in Network Mode in player rooms.

Information
When an unlimited character is selected, its name will glow pink in the game's HUD. Since BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, Unlimited characters' portraits now have reversed lighting, an eerie purple glow behind them, and glowing eyes.

They can either be unlocked by purchasing downloadable content for the character, by beating Arcade Mode with the respective character in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger (Ragna, Rachel, Hakumen, and Nu only), by beating the Score Attack Mode with the respective character in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, by purchasing them in the Gallery in the portable ports of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II and Extend, or beating Unlimited Mars Mode with the respective character in BlazBlue: Chronophantasma. Unlimited forms of DLC characters are automatically unlocked.

In BlazBlue: Centralfiction, there are only three unlimited characters: Nine the Phantom, Izanami and Ragna the Bloodedge – however, they are not playable and they appear only during Arcade Mode after completing certain conditions.

Trivia

 * Unlimited Ragna is playable in the true endings of BlazBlue, with exception of Centralfiction.
 * In BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Unlimited Lambda -No. 11- does not exist. Instead, unlimited Lambda is replaced by Unlimited Nu -No. 13-.
 * In BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II and Extend, if certain conditions are met in Arcade mode, Unlimited Mu -No. 12- or Unlimited Ragna can be fought depending on the character. Some characters cannot fight them at all.
 * In BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend, all Unlimited characters are based on their BlazBlue: Continuum Shift counterparts, with the exception of Mu in Extend, who keeps her changes. In BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, the characters now have their updated balance changes and have been reworked, but as of the 1.01 patch, they retain the original 1.00 balancing.
 * In BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, the characters have the Overdrive versions of their Distortion Drives as the default versions.
 * In BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, Unlimited character's Overdrives last much longer and all have the same effect for each character: higher damage output, gradual Heat gain, and access to a very powerful Distortion.
 * In the Act 3 of BlazBlue: Centralfiction, the player can fight Unlimited Ragna, Unlimited Nine, or Unlimited Izanami.
 * To fight Unlimited Nine, the player must finish every round with a Distortion Finish.
 * To fight Unlimited Izanami, the player must finish most rounds with an Overdrive Finish or Astral Finish.
 * To fight Unlimited Ragna, the player must finish nearly every round 1 with an Overdrive Finish, and every round 2 with an Astral Finish.
 * The Player cannot lose or finish anyone normally.
