## Profile

### Identity

Saber's true identity is **Jin Kisaragi**, A N.O.L. Major, heralded as a war hero and the younger brother of Ragna. Possessed by the malevolent spirit Yuuki Terumi, Jin took the Nox Nyctores Yukianesa and used it to nearly kill his brother. He was adopted by the influential Kisaragi family, one of the members of the N.O.L.-affiliated family group called the Duodecim. His work in the Academy led allowed him to attain the rank of Major, and one of his early missions saw him end the Ikaruga Civil War. Upon learning that Ragna had resurfaced in Kagutsuchi, Jin deserted his post to assassinate him, but would later ally with him as they turned their attention to the true forces behind their ruined childhoods.

### Personality

Where his brother Ragna is hot-tempered and quick to draw first blood, To most Jin is apathetic, cold, distant, and aloof, barely showing any emotion to anyone. He is much more complex than most would initially think thanks to years of influence under Yukianesa and Order. He has a deep brotherly love for his brother Ragna, a love that both aforementioned factors manipulated into something twisted and corrupted. Another person that Jin has a strong attachment to is his childhood friend Tsubaki Yayoi - the two of them will do nearly anything for one another and she is one of a few people that truly understands him. In the timeline where Jin became Hakumen, Tsubaki's death haunted and wracked him with guilt for nearly 100 years. His most complicated relationship is with Noel Vermillion, someone who he despises for looking like his sister. As time goes on, however, he begins to become softer towards her.

Prior to gaining control of Yukianesa, Jin was prone to emotional and mental outbursts. He would allow the Nox to control him and make decisions without his consent, attacking both friends and foes alike. Once he solidified his control, Jin began to formerly identify more with Order and to destroy anything that would oppose it.

As a child, Jin was described as a "crybaby", being sensitive and extremely attached to Ragna. He was often jealous of the attention that Saya was shown and would cry whenever Ragna was ill. He was also terrified of the moon, thinking it would crash at any second; as he grew older, the fear of the moon turned into a hatred. As a teenager in the Military Academy, Jin was popular, cool, and calm, being seen as a model student by all.

It is also shown that he was friends with his classmates, Carl Clover, Tsubaki Yayoi, and Makoto Nanaya during their time at the Academy (though he showed a noted uneasiness towards Noel due to the disturbingly strong resemblance to his sister and treated her rather coldly which only got worse in the aftermath of the Second Great Magic War). In particular, he holds a genuine soft spot for Tsubaki, who was his only childhood friend after he was whisked away from his old life and adopted by the Kisaragi house of the Twelve Originators. The two share a long history together that is linked across the timelines.

In BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, Jin is noticeably more focused on saving Tsubaki and although he is still antagonistic towards Ragna, he is willing to put his murderous desire aside and cooperate if it means saving Tsubaki. However, he is still cold towards Noel and remains anti-social.

in BlazBlue: Centralfiction, It is shown that Jin no longer acts obsessively towards Ragna, referring to him as “The Black One” not unlike Hakumen. Jin seems to have become more like Hakumen, taking on an overall calm yet stern tone of voice. In the near end of the game, Jin is confident when he wears the Susanoo unit using Trinity’s magic to become Hakumen until she diffuses with her magic to not let him unable to stop Ragna from fighting his sister. But deep down however, he does seem to care for his siblings as a sign of his maturity.

## Abilities

Born to oppose Ragna, Jin is an embodiment of Order with exceptional skills in Ars Magus. He wields his Nox, the Mucro Algesco: Yukianesa, with unrivaled skill, and utilizes it in an iaijutsu style; he keeps the blade within its sheath at most times, only drawing it to attack and defend. Jin's swordsmanship is elegant, with every strike being both precise and deliberate. He has owned the Nox all of his adult life; his control over Yukianesa's ice-related abilities allows him to create and shape water in the air and crystallize it, giving birth to a myriad of techniques. Some of the objects that Jin can create include swords of varying sizes, arrows, and beams of ice. His mere presence creates snowflakes in the air, and his Drive is Frost Bite.

Because of Order, Jin is completely immune to Phenomenon Intervention and the Immortal Breaker. His will is so strong he quite literally willed Platinum into existence, although it was not a permanent solution. His will is stronger than that of Yukianesa's, being able to keep its mental influences at bay. Even without Yukianesa, Jin is an accomplished martial artist who has received years of formal training from both the Kisaragi household and Military Academy. After a month of further training from Jubei to help him refine his control of Order and Yukianesa, Jin has become much more powerful; something that several characters including Hakumen and Relius remark on.

During the civil war, Jin managed to break through the entirety of the Ikarugan defenses by himself without killing a single person - all while being goaded into killing by his Nox.

Unfortunately, Jin has lost his ability to fight per Trinity's deal - his body is unable to battle. As a Major with his own unit, Jin is likely an accomplished tactician and commander.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Power of Order**

A manifestation of the world's natural order which is given to individuals to assist in countering something that disturbs the order. It allows the user to dispel Phenomena Intervention and ward off even the Immortal Breaker with ease. Jin's Power of Order is to oppose the Black Beast, constantly raising his power in order to stop it. Additionally, it allows him to will individuals into existence, if only for brief periods.

#### **Purgatory Ice Night "Arctic Dungeon"**

Focusing the power of the Yukianesa, Jin stabs the sword into the Earth. If the opponent is touching the ground, they are immediately frozen over entirely: the ice in which they are frozen gets progressively colder and more solid. After Jin is finished pouring his energy into the attack, he sheathes Yukianesa: at once, this causes all of the ice formed, and the trapped victim, with it, to shatter apart violently into nothing, slaying them.
