“ | Seriously, I can't believe you just asked me that! OK, all right, fine! How about this reason? Seems as good as any. I do all the wonderful things I do because I want to see the miserable look on the faces of people like YOU when you're wallowing in despair, dismay, grief, frustration, misery...all sorts of other unpleasant nouns... I guess you could say I'm bored. At least misery is interesting. | „ |
~ Yuuki Terumi. |
Yuuki Terumi, also known by the alias Hazama, is the main antagonist of the BlazBlue franchise. He is an officer of the NOL intelligence division and the one responsible for burning down the church Ragna, Jin and Saya lived in and cutting off Ragna's arm. He is secretly one of the three wirepullers behind the NOL alongside Relius Clover and Hades Izanami, whom he plots to enact Armageddon with.
His true identity is the deity Takahaya-Susano'o-no-Mikoto, the brother of the Master Unit: Amaterasu, who developed free will apart from the Master Unit and dedicated himself to destroying all of his sister's creations. The Susano'o Unit is his original body before his consciousness separated from it so he would not be subordinate to Amaterasu any longer.
His true form is that of a ghost and as such he must possess a host body to stay anchored in the world, his first host being Kazuma Kval before he transferred it to one named after his alias "Hazama". Terumi being a ghost also means he will fade away if people forget about him, thus Terumi frequently torments people for no other reason than so he can continue to exist off their hatred, something he wouldn't have any other way.
He is voiced by Yuuichi Nakamura in the original Japanese version of the games. In the English dub, he was originally voiced by Erik Davies up until after Continuum Shift, and has been voiced by Doug Erholtz ever since Continuum Shift: Extend.

Trivia[]
- He, Relius Clover and Hades Izanami are the only BlazBlue characters to be Pure Evil.
- Terumi was inspired by the Joker from DC Comics, being a psychotic villain with a deranged laugh and green slicked back hair who loves torturing his enemies either psychologically or physically. They are also criminal masterminds to go along with all that unbridled insanity, so they are also sadistic and manipulative by nature. However, his true identity as Susano'o makes more of an expy of Satan/Lucifer instead.
