"Remember this, Observer... I am the enemy to the entire world... The Grim Reaper, Ragna the Bloodedge." ― Ragna
Ragna the Bloodedge is the main protagonist of the BlazBlue series. He is the older brother to Jin Kisaragi and Saya and is the wielder of the Azure Grimoire and the Aramasa.
Background[]
Ragna the Bloodedge was born in a laboratory alongside his siblings, Jin and Saya, and they were experimented on as lab rats. This would continue until the legendary warrior Jubei rescued them and whisked them away into a church tucked away in the woods, where they were raised by a kind nun. From then on, Ragna's childhood would be relatively normal, until Saya grew very sick, and at this, he decided to tend to her, earning the jealousy of Jin. One day, as Ragna was out collecting water for Saya, his childhood home burned to ashes, and as he arrived to the scene, his arm was hacked off by Jin, who had been driven mad with jealousy, his emotions amplified by a mysterious sword and a figure known as Yuuki Terumi.
This incident left Ragna for dead, until a vampire named Rachel Alucard saved his life by biting him, giving him vampire blood. Ragna would then discover a mysterious object known as the Azure Grimoire, an artifact that replaced his missing arm and gave him power. He would then be trained by Jubei himself in the ways of combat and how to use the Azure, and as he grew, Ragna became stronger than he was. As he completed his training, Jubei gifted Ragna his signature red cloak and a blade known as the Aramasa, and with that, Ragna set out on his journey towards revenge, aiming to destroy Cauldrons.

Attack Potency: At least Small City Level (Even while weakened, should still be stronger than Iron Tager, who can create a massive crater with his Astral Finish) | Country level (Can contend with the likes of the Six-Heroes, like Nine, Hakumen, and Yuuki Terumi, who are comparable to or stronger than the Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi, which can annihilate Hierarchical Cities; defeated Nu-13 when she absorbed Take-Mikazuchi's core) | At least Country level, possibly Small Planet level (Fought on even grounds with the Black Susano'o, who should be comparable to Izanami at full strength; at her full strength, Izanami can create a similar explosion to Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem, though she would have difficulty)
Speed: Sub-Relativistic (Faster than Iron Tager, who can fly into the exosphere and back in a few seconds) | At least Sub-Relativistic (Reacted to Take-Mikazuchi's lasers at point blank range, faster than before) | At least Sub-Relativistic (Faster than before)
Durability: At least Small City (Above characters like Tager and Makoto) | Country level (Can take hits from the Six-Heroes, Nu-13, and Izanami) | At least Country level, possibly Small Planet level (Took hits from Susano'o)
