Greg: Of the twelve families of the Duodecim that provides soldiers and personnel for the peace-keeping global organization Novus Orbis Librarium or NOL for short, the Yayoi family are ranked third and play a significant role in keeping the Duodecim together. But when Ayame Yayoi died during the Dark War, the family was desperate to keep the bloodline going and decided to have their members "breed" with only the strongest Ars Magus users.

Vanessa: Except there was one problem, Ars Magus users are very low in population and as a last measure, the Yayoi family resorted into, ahem, inbreeding. Having incestuous intercourse with their own blood.

Adam: *Spits Coke in shock*

Vanessa: Safe to say this results in their numbers lowering even more and having short life-spans with some dying at an early age. The irony is that inbreeding to make themselves stronger actually made them weaker throughout each generation until it became their weakness to be carried on. Even the other families and NOL themselves personally asked the Yayoi family to stop their practices, but they would not be deterred. Eventually one of them, Tsubaki Yayoi, would survive into adulthood and became the heir of the family.

Adam:  Despite having a father by aside, her life was a lonely one. That was till she met and befriended Jin Kisaragi. The adopted son of the Kisaragi family. Who if you recall, left his brother with one arm and a pool of blood. But being her first friend, Tsubaki's relationship with him began to become closer and even fell for him. Which carried over all the way to their days in the Military Academy. Where her circle of friends grew bigger, with the likes of Noel Vermillion, Mai Natsume and Makoto Nanaya.

Popup: Makoto didn't get along with Tsubaki due to her status as a demi-human and her relationship with humans. But after while they did became friends.

Greg: After graduating, Tsubaki became a secretary of a squad, with Jin as her major. Both had good times being a subordinate and superior, but than things started to change. One time Jin ran off without telling her to chase after his brother. The Grim Reaper: Ragna the Bloodedge. She found him but rather in his, let's just say "mentally unstable state", and knocked her out so badly that she witnessed all his memories through a dream.

Vanessa: After giving chase again she found Jin in battle with his brother Ragna. She protected him, but was easily defeated. Than this weird Yandere robot, Nu-13, appeared, almost killed Ragna and tried to take him for herself. Jin tried to defeat Nu for himself, But he was to injured to even fight. In a blink of an eye, Tsubaki stands between both Jin and Nu-13 and took a blow in his stead.

Adam: She was about to finish her for good, before Ragna kills her. Still gravely injured, Jin panicked and tries to heal the wounds and injuries Tsubaki had, but his healing Magic Formula refused to work. And Tsubaki died in his arms.

Greg: Buuuuuut time looped and her situation changed. Tsubaki avoided dying and joined the NOL, becoming part of its' 0th Division. Who wrote this stuff? Anyways, with fate now intertwined in a different manner, Tsubaki made it her life goal to serve the NOL and bring the just to the Injustice.

Justice of Destiny

Vanessa: Tsubaki wields her family's sacred weapon, the Sealed Armament: Izayoi. It takes the form of her clothing, a quill tip like sword and a book-like shield. But appearances are deceiving as it gives Tsubaki a wide array of abilities, notably control over light. She can create constructs of light like swords and a bow, create orbs of light or even literally taking away light. And with more light Izayoi absorbs, the stronger and more versatile it becomes. Tsubaki can use Sanctus Aequum or Sanctus Veritas for up close damage, fire projectiles of light with Sanctus Aerolata and trap her foes in a different dimension with Eclipse Barrier. But she can boost her power even further with her Drive, Install.

Greg: Drives are the physical manifestation one's soul which draws power from "The Blue", a power source deep within The Boundary. She can use a Second Install which further boosts her strength such as Confutatis, Macto and Requiem Maledictis and Macto Lux Kyrie. And with it Tsubaki can unleash her Astral Heat Requiem Aeternam, which is guaranteed to kill her target when hit.

Adam: However, Izayoi has one fatal downside. Remember how Vanessa said it can steal light? Well that also applies to its wielder and prolonged use of Izayoi will permanently blind and even kill them. That's actually how Tsubaki's ancestor Ayame Yayoi died, from extensive use of Izayoi. But not to worry, because this is a video game and when push comes to shove, Tusbaki becomes one with the Izayoi itself, becoming Zero-Type Izayoi. Her strength skyrockets and she gains all-new abilities.

Vanessa: As the name implies, Immortal Breaker is capable of killing immortal and those with strong regenerative abilities by placing the concept of death unto her victim's mind and her Drive Scarlet Justice enhances all of her skills. And with her Astral Heat Justice of Destiny, Izayoi hurls a giant javelin of light down that flies like a freaking airplane.

Feats

Became a Major of NOL, surpassing even Hazama

Held her own against Noel Vermillion

Resisted the effect of Seithr which can interfere with technology

Izayoi can resist Phenomena Interventions

Battled Ragna the Bloodedge

Became the First Lieutenant of Zero Squadron

Broke free from the Mind Eater curse with Hakumen's help

Held her own against Makoto, Noel and Jin all at same time

Took hits from Nu-13 and Iron Tager

Fended off Relius Clover

Adam: With Izayoi at her disposal, Tsubaki has gone up against many heavy hitters from Blazblue. She's battled Ragna the Bloodedge, took hits from the Murakumo Unit Nu-13 and battle her former friends Noel Vermillion and Makoto Nanaya, defeating the latter once in their first battle. The same squirrel girl who can shatter the damn moon and Tsubaki took hits from Noel's Bolverk, which can pierce through space itself.

Greg: And at her strongest as Izayoiu, Tsubaki has hold her own against Jin, Makoto and Noel at the same time. Jin and Noel were one of the 3 people who can fight against the Nox Nyctores Gigant Takemikazuchi, which was capable of obliterating the 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido with an explosion visible from space. Using the Earth's curvature as a reference, we can determine this can be clocked at 65.36 Teratons of TNT.

Popup: Ragna and Noel defeated Hades Izanami, who can replicate the Requiem's feat of atomizing the Earth and Moon, which is worth 16 Yottatons of TNT. However, Izanami claims it requires a little difficulty and it's questionable whether Tsubaki can be scaled to Izanami.

Vanessa: This is important because Jin, Noel, Ragna and other upper tier characters are connected to The Boundary, a complex and infinite realm that transcends the multiverse and where all dimensions connect. Those three alongside Hades Izanami, Nine the Phantom and Hazama could reach lightspeed up to infinite speeds due to The Boundary being infinite in size as well. While Tsubaki hasn't outright defeated any of them, she has been able to keep up, so she should reasonably be able to move at infinite speeds as well.

Adam: And Izayoi can even resist Phenomena Interventions. We've establish back in Kiana VS Noel that it's the ability to see future possibiliti es and lets the user choose the outcome they want to happen, essentially combination of timeline manipulation and reality warping.

Weaknesses

Prolonged use of Izayoi will blind and even kill Tsubaki (Though this can be negated upon becoming Izayoi itself)

Immortal Breaker cannot work on deathless being like Hades Izanami and Jin, who possessed the Power of Order)

Defeated by Jin after he unleashed the full power of Yukianesa

Can get emotional

Over reliant on Izayoi

Defeated by Ragna in all of their encounters

Initially had a blind sense of justice and was blindly loyal to the NOL and the Imperator, allowing for such individuals as Yuuki Terumi and Izanami to manipulate her

Adam: But despite her incredible power, Tsubaki has her faults. She doesn't have the best win-loss ratio in the BlazBlue roster and Izayoi's Immortal Breaker technique doesn't work on deathless beings or those who has the Power of Order such as Izanami and Jin respectively. And while she held her own, Tsubaki isn't as powerful compared to Jin or Noel, who possessed Nox Nyctores class weapons like Yukianesa and Bolverk respectively. It's also noted that many of her feats are done with outside help or at her strongest as Izayoi.

Popup: Tsubaki is reliant on becoming Izayoi when facing opponents much stronger than herself, but even this is not enough such as when Ragna, the 3rd person who can hurt Takemikazuchi, defeated her multiple times in Chronophantasma and Central Fiction.

Greg: She's also got a blind sense of justice which allowed Hazama and Izanami to manipulate from the shadows and can get emotional which made her conflicted on what she's fighting for. And remember that Tsubaki's greatest weakness is the the Izayoi itself. Extensive use will blind her and has actually killed Tsubaki in one of her bad endings in Continuum Shift.

Vanessa: But in the end, Tsubaki managed to break free from the Mind Eater curse with Hakumen and her friends and rejoined the heroes in their fight against Yuuki Terumi and Izanami. At the end of the day, very few criminals can escape NOL's Wings of Justice.

Tsubaki: You probably don't know but..... He has the power to lead the world. Unlike me, he has the ability to determine exactly what the world needs. That's why I want to sever the chains behind him. The new order that Jin Kisaragi will build..... I want to help to build it. To do that, the "Azure"..... must be obtained by Jin. I don't know what you're intend to do, but as an obstacle to Jin, I cannot leave you be.
