Hades: Izanami

Izanami is the true antagonist of the BlazBlue series.

Information
Izanami is an immortal being, death incarnate. She is using Saya as a vessel. Her goal is to reduce everything to nothing. Hakumen's Time Killer technique is not able to affect her, due to her "not having time"; despite the fact that the same technique is responsible for the death of Yūki Terumi.

Powers and Abilities
While she has not shown any specific abilities yet, she is known to be extremely powerful, as she manages to damage the Amaterasu Unit easily.

Her boss battle in BlazBlue: Chronophantasma shows off her skills in battle, she can effortlessly control the Nox Nyctores, Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi, in battle as well as use attacks which land extreme amounts of damage upon the opponent.

Appearance
In Saya's body, she looks like a young woman with very long, violet hair tied into a ponytail, and soulless red eyes. She wears a white and red Japanese-style outfit reminiscent of an empress, tied with a light blue sash, with a golden crown and a dark cape over her shoulders.

Personality
Izanami is devoid of all emotion and extremely literal-minded. She is obsessed with making the world die and will stop at nothing to accomplish her goal.

The Goddess remarks that she can "feel" the strong attachment that the real Saya has towards Ragna.

Trivia

 * For reasons unknown, her Japanese voice was redubbed for the release of Continuum Shift Extend. This could have possibly happened because Kanako Kondō's performance sounded almost exactly like Noel and Mu, which would give away the Imperator's relation to them.
 * So far, Izanami is the only unplayable boss character in the series. This is because her boss battle is unique in the fact that the player is mainly fighting her Nox Nyctores, Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi, instead of her.
 * In Continuum Shift's True Ending, Izanami was actually dubious when she talked about Amaterasu. However, the English dub makes it easy to misunderstand that she destroyed the Unit.
