Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes – Tsurugi trailer, screenshots

Gematsu Source

Publisher Arc System Works and developer French-Bread have released the Tsurugi reveal trailer and screenshots for Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes, introducing the new playable character voiced by Haruki Ishiya.

Here is an overview of Tsurugi, via the game’s official website:

Tsurugi (voiced by Haruki Ishiya)

“I bet you’ll be out there, too, Kido. Don’t die on me before we meet up…”

Height: 186cm

Weight: 70kg

Birthday: January 9

Blood Type: O

Ability: Fortress

Weapon: Bulwark

Tsurugi is a friend of Hyde’s from school and a prominent member of a vigilante group called the EFG. The EFG’s main objective is to defend their fellow students from the evil influences of wielders, so they tend to avoid dealing with the Night. However, the Final Night is a different story. In order to protect his classmates–not to mention the rest of the world–Tsurugi decides to confront the root of all evil: the Re-Birth.

Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes is due out for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam on January 25, 2024 worldwide.

Watch the trailer below. View the screenshots at the gallery.

Tsurugi Reveal Trailer

[sanguineshade]

Hi your tags on my post reminded me to ask you this. Who in unib do you think is the most transgender do you have like a top 5 list

"do you have like a top 5 list" the phrasing on this really took the air out of me lmao I didn't actually. Never really thought much about it before. But no time like the present right? Here's my two cents:

Cisgender (Unaware)

[ID: Byakuya, Mika, Seth, Wagner and Tsurugi. End ID]

I don't think these kids know transition is even a thing.

Cis+

[ID: Chaos, Phonon and Orie. End ID]

They walked the path of self-discovery and came out more sure of themselves. Good for them!

Gender: Guy

[ID: Enkidu, Waldstein, Gordeau. End ID]

They're guys. Y'know, fellas. They radiate 100% gender confidence.

Gender: Gal

[ID: Uzuki, Kaguya and Yuzuhira. End ID]

They're gals. Y'know, lasses. They radiate 100% gender confidence.

Gender: Old

[ID: Kuon, Linne and Chitose (Linne's previous body). End ID]

You can't tell me Kuon and Linne give a damn about gender after all this time. If Linne were reincarnated into a 2m tall buff macho (You know Waldstein would raise her to be muscular if he could) Kuon would still call her "little sister" with a glance. Their gender binary is "little sister/big brother".

Gender: On Thin Fucking Ice

[ID: Carmine. End ID]

Lad. Why are you, as a man, also a menstruation joke? Carmine is too tired, calcium defficient and unmedicated to think about gender. Transition won't save her yet, please feed my bony boy first.

Gender: Trans Flag Pallete

[ID: Hyde, Londrekia. End ID]

@/cr-s01 made some lovely trans palletes mods for these two so when I think of them I think of the transgender flag. Personally I'm more accepting of a trans reading of Hyde. I'd put Lodrekia on Cisgender (Unaware).

Gender: Robot

[ID: Vatista. End ID]

She is aware and chooses not to participate in gender. Based.

Gender: As The Pendulum Swings

[ID: Hilda. End ID]

Hilda is so fucking wonderful and I adore her. She brings me so much joy. So for me she's both cis and trans it really depends on the mood and the dysphoria of the day. Schrodinger's Gender.

Transgender

[ID: Merkava and Nanase. End ID]

These two are trans, no caveats. Merkava is going through an average dysphoric tuesday every day of his life, bless him, I'd start eating people too if it got me out of being misgendered. And Nanase...

[ID: Picture of younger Phonon and Nanase from Phonon's Arcade Mode in UNIB. End ID]

Yeah, so happy for her <3

what was tsurugi's problem

He was too gay so we imprisoned him in the shadow realm

[incorrect-unib-quotes]

Hyde: Everyone clap for the newest addition to the roster, Londrekia! Tsurugi: Uzuki: Kaguya: Kuon: Woo...

[starocide]

Very quick Tsurugi

[starocide]

Birthday gift for my good buddy @cr-s01 :)

[starocide]

Oho you can't reply that and walk away now! Gimme YOUR unib gender opinions! I wanna see the whole tier list! All the nuance! Gimme food for thought :3 pretty please

Okay hi sorry for the late response but since I have many thoughts on this subject there is no tier list. Otherwise the tiers would be too long. Under the cut... my thoughts will lie.

HYDE KIDO

Could go either way with the guy that started it all. Personal opinion is leaning towards cis for now but trans Hyde will always be in my heart due to a certain friend of mine. And while not a gender identity, he is also half Canadian.

LINNE

Going on T could save Linne but she would stay with she/her out of convenience. Otherwise? only cis because it's what she's always been.

WALDSTEIN

Cis. And old.

CARMINE PRIME

Michael Menstruation. Period Patrick. Theodore Tampon. Many nicknames this guy has. Either way is really funny but I'm leaning towards transmasc for now. But who knows! This may change...

ORIE BALLARDIAE HARADA

Need I say more? I don't think I do. Trans girl.

GORDEAU T. HARVESTER

One of the most cisgender guys to ever do it

MERKAVA

"While he was alive, he was… a man, probably. Well, just like his body has changed, so has his voice. It's still too early to discard the possibility that he could be a girl."

As close as we got to a canon trans(masc) character.

VATISTA

Prototype versions of Vatista's design were written to have no conception of gender and I'm choosing to carry it over to her incarnation we know and love. Nonbinaryyyyy

SETH

Going on E could save Seth I think. But regardless there's no need for gender if all you do is kill and whatnot.

YUZURIHA SOUGETSU

Cis+, probably? But I'm willing to change my mind on that.

HILDA THE PARADOX

Insane levels of cis woman radiating from her. It is PALPABLE.

KEI "CHAOS" ASUMA

(points) CIS. But I honestly don't mind trans Chaos.

NANASE

Constantly fluctuating, if I am being honest. I wrote a fic in which she was implied cis but I also kept that ambiguous enough that it can be interpreted in other ways. Either way I love you girlie more than the writers ever will.

BYAKUYA

Maybe he'll get rid of his gender when he feels better. Right now? Kill feast and rest ad infinitum.

PHONON

This character. Thiiiiiiis character. I am so normal about her. Her name literally sounds like "pronoun". No way in hell she's cis. Nonbinary 4ever and ever.

MIKA RETURNA

She literally wears a binder but I don't think she even knows what gender is.

MIYASHIRO ERIKA WAGNER

Erika is EXTREMELY cis girl to me. She loves her trans girlfriend though.

GAIEN "ENKIDU" ENKIDOU

Coolest guy in the game. I think trans Enkidu is cool but I think he's cis myself. Not that he cares about gender that much.

LONDREKIA LIGHT

No one comes out of the womb with a name that has part of the onomatopoeia for something that matches their special magic power. Trans guy but nobody is allowed to know about it.

TSURUGI

Cis. But a good ally nonetheless! Has "Hey girl I mean they"d Phonon on accident once.

KAGUYA JINGUU

Transfem as fuck just look at this multiple year difference. No way this woman is cis.

^ This is Londrekia and her. Trust me.

KUON THE ETERNAL

Being nonbinary could save him but he either doesn't know what that is or thinks he's too old for that.

UZUKI

She killed her gender and resurrected it as something more cool and goth. Nonbinary but in a girl-adjacent way.

OGRE

Butch nonbinary lesbian or cishet man and I can't decide which. It differs between days.

IZUMI

I mean... her EXS ability is literally called "Transition". You know what that means!

BONUS ROUND

Lex is Nonbinary but doesn't know it yet. Either Strix or Zohar are cis but not both of them. Azel is like a boy-shaped apparition. Kuu is kuunonically devoid of gender. Adelheid is the first cisgender woman ever.

Well, thanks for reading all the way through! This sure was a hell of a lot to type. But I love rambling about this game so it's okay in the end.

Thoughts on uni two

It's UNIB... two!! (complimentary) (can't ever have enough of a good thing)

Unfortunately my pc is a potato, it only runs on my partner's computer so I haven't played it much. But I'm enjoying it a lot, it's smooth and fun and I'm glad they added the dodge mechanic! Also Carmine got to keep his grab at the end of his Medium>Medium>Medium combo like he had on Cross Tag Battle which is just wonderful thank you to all devs involved in this decision <3

Can't believe they fixed the sound mixing though! Shame (joking) (although I find that UNIB's weird sound mixing has its charm)

Also I convinced my partner (who didn't like UNIB) to play a few matches with me today because he owned me playtime and the moment he saw Tsurugi he exclaimed "BIG SHIELD! This is the best!" and proceeded to add "This is the best game ever also I should be allowed to negate chip damage when I'm defending because Big Shield" as we played. and I think that's beautiful.

As for now I've finished Byakuya, Londrekia and Carmine's arcades (gotta prioritize my faves) and they're okay. I wished we got more interactions, though. It's just two meetings and then the final boss, that's not nearly enough text for me to chew on. We don't even get post-fight cutscenes it's so sad (maybe Blazblue just spoiled me too much I know there weren't post-fight cutscenes in the original UNIB either)

Also something I found just oh so neat is how we can unlock the winning quotes and rewatch them on the gallery? And not only it shows the ones how many are still locked (and there are so many wow!) but for the character-specific ones the game even tells you which characters you have to fight to unlock it. It's such a small thing but I really liked it. Like, some of them have very random groups of characters and it really makes me wanna find out what the hell Carmine would say that applies to all of them (yes this is all about him Mine-chan is the only one there is I love love love him, my beautiful rambunctious young man boy)

Thank you for asking <3

[incorrect-unib-quotes]

Tsurugi: Void are very agressive, so it’s important to take necessary precautions when approaching. Phonon: *Blaring an air horn at Void* Get fucked!

[incorrect-unib-quotes]

Tsurugi: If someone broke into your apartment, and you weren't In-Births, wouldn't you be scared? Komatsu: Yes. Phonon: Depends. How many guns do I still have hidden? Tsurugi: None. Phonon: Do I still have my knife? Nunchucks? Axe? Tsurugi: It was a hypothetical question. Phonon: I know, but I want to play it out. Do I still have my throwing stars? Komatsu: This has taken a strange turn. Phonon: Fine. I'd be scared. What kind of woman doesn't have an axe?
