Jin Kisaragi

Jin Kisaragi (ジン＝キサラギ) is a major of the NOL, and Ragna and Saya's brother. He is a playable character in Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift.

Information
When Jin was a little boy, he was very dependant on his older brother, Ragna, for affection and constantly pesters him to play with him. He saw his sister Saya as an obstacle of getting his brother's attention and constantly bullied her in retaliation. Eventually, Ragna decided to look after the sickly Saya and distanced himself from Jin, thus increasing his jealousy.

It was then Terumi Yuuki entered Jin's life and told him about The Black Beast, that it would be born from Ragna, and that he is destined to destroy it. Deciding that his brother must pay for his ignorance, and to get rid of the obstacle between them, Saya, Jin left Terumi to do as his pleases, including burning the church where they stayed and murdering their carer. When Ragna arrived, he only watched in glee as Terumi cut off his arm, and kidnapped Saya away. Jin later vanished from Ragna's life, and apparently his memory of that incident was blocked off.

Jin was later adopted to the high-esteemed Kisaragi family. With his talents, he rose up to the ranks of NOL and was given the Nox Nyctores Yukianesa, but his other siblings never trusted him, thinking that he only got his ranks due to his adoption. Indeed, Jin himself felt completely empty even after being showered with awards and ranks (which includes the stopping of Ikaruga Civil War). When the rumors of the Grim Reaper arose, Jin felt a sudden urge to meet him, which causes him to abandon his post and head to Kagutsuchi to find out about the Reaper.

When it turns out to be Ragna, Jin became ecstatic to meet his beloved brother and his psychosis caused him to be eager to kill him and fulfill his destiny.

During one of the time-loops, Ranga and Jin's battle was interrupted by v-13's appearance and she ended up throwing herself and Ragna to the Cauldron. Never wanting to lose his brother again, Jin jumped to the Cauldron despite his wounds and was thrown back to the past, where he met Rachel Alucard and was offered a chance to be a true hero. From that point on, Jin became one of the Six Heroes, Hakumen.

During the True Ending, Jin was incapacitated badly by Ragna and sent to the hospital. When he awoke, he found out that he was being targetted by NOL for assassination, thus running away from the hospital and going into hiding, and cut off all ties with the Kisaragi family. However, he also heard about Ragna and his subordinate Noel Vermillion staying together, and as Noel reminded him very much of Saya, Jin decided to attempt to kill them out of jealousy. Over time, his willpower became strong enough to resist Yukianesa's influence.

Powers and abilities
Jin proves his elite status in the NOL with his exceptional skills on the battlefield. Wielding the Nox Nyctores, Yukianesa, Jin controls the element of ice, wielding it with such efficiency that he is able to shape the ice he creates into different forms such as a series of blades and is able to propel himself on one (affectionately named by fans as 'Ice Car'). His swordsmanship as well as his powers rival and contrasts that of his brother Ragna. While Ragna fights with savage, powerful blows, Jin's style is elegant (although it should be noted that the damage output on Jin's attacks are considerably powerful like Ragna), which strangely polarizes his own personality affected by the Yukianesa.

Trivia

 * Jin is often considered to be the BlazBlue counterpart of Guilty Gear's Ky Kiske in due to their authority statuses, blue and white color schemes, blonde hair, slender swords, and rivalries with wanted men though Jin's and Ragna's relationship is rather more severe compared to their GG counterparts.
 * In an episode of 'Teach Me, Miss Litchi', Jin is portrayed as having seemingly romantic feelings for his his brother, however this is only a joke (as Teach Me, Miss Litchi is not meant to be considered canon, as stated in the first episode).
 * One of Jin's attacks has been dubbed "Ice Car" by fans and is commonly used in fan-comics, possibly due to the radio drama, where Jin makes the sounds of a car driving off at one point.
