Hades: Izanami

Izanami is the true main 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 unleash an extensive myriad of energy projectiles that cause an extraordinary amount of damage against 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. Throughout the game, she constantly mocks Ragna with Saya's voice in a playful manner.

She is also shown to have little to no concern for her comrades, even to the point of offering Ragna Terumi's head in exchange for joining her side.

Trivia

 * She is named after Izanami no Mikoto, the goddess of death and creation in Japanese mythology, and the former wife of Izanagi no Mikoto.
 * 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.
 * In Alter Memory Episode 3, it is hinted that Izanami had been possessing Saya in earlier day before she gave Jin (who was planning to kill her) a Yukianesa to get him controlled by the Nox Nyctores itself, then abandon Ragna to be killed by Jin, and leaves with Hazama/Terumi before the event of Calamity Trigger.
