Izayoi

**Izayoi** (イザヨイ) is Tsubaki Yayoi after she awakened the Weaving Zero: Izayoi. This is her alternate form that is playable starting from *BlazBlue: Chronophantasma*.

## Appearance

Using Tsubaki’s form, Izayoi’s physical appearance remains the same, with the exception of her red hair being tied into a ponytail, and her eyes become red. Her armor being a sleeveless, purple, skin-tight bodysuit with a short, slender, white outfit, and white, knee-length boots. The armor bears a slight resemblance to the armor worn by the Murakumo Units, but with two shields floating around her instead of swords, and an overall less revealing outfit.

## Personality

Izayoi is shown to retain Tsubaki’s desire for justice, but while she was under the influence of Mind Eater, she believed that the Emperor and the World Void Information Control Organization are not to be defied, and that she was the “Sword of the Emperor” herself, and gave Noel, Makoto and Jin death sentences.

After Makoto, Noel, and Jin managed to free her from the spell, she realized that Izanami’s justice is a lie and decided that she will fight for a justice she believes in as an individual: to fight for the people she loves and the friends she cherishes.

## Powers and Abilities

Upon awakening the true form of the Sealed Armament: Izayoi, Izayoi became an incredibly powerful being who is the sole person able to kill Observers. As well as this, her Immortal Breaker ability is capable of killing any immortal being due to the fact that the Sealed Armament was designed to target Observers. Her weapon is a prototype of a Murakumo Unit, an Anti-Observer Armament. Replacing the shield and sword is a halberd with an energy blade, whose length can be altered for single powerful strikes and is even capable of teleporting in the same fashion as the Murakumo Units. The shields on her waist can open up in a winged formation to reveal thrusters, enabling flight.

Izayoi’s Drive is **Scarlet Justice** (スカーレットジャスティス *Sukāretto Jasutisu*). Pressing the Drive button puts her in a state called Gain Art where both her blade and her shields emit a green glow. During this mode, all of her specials are enhanced and instead of running, she flies in a slanted arc towards and above her opponent using her shield boosters while gaining a double back dash that pulls her upward. However, these specials consume her Weaving Zero Gauge, which is represented by 8 magatama similar to Hakumen. She can fill up this gauge by attacking with specials while in her default mode. Her Overdrive is **Freedom Justice** (フリーダムジャスティス*Furīdamu Jasutisu*) where the gauge fills up automatically. She also displays the ability to summon slashing attack drones in her **Slaver Trans-Am** (スレイヴァートランザム*Sureivā Toranzamu*) Distortion Drive.
