Usually these kind of coincidences are deliberate, so I think these characters in Entropy Effect X are “alternate possibilities” of Sector Seven members, or something about BlazBlue’s Timeline is causing them to repeat history similar to possession. The Azure manipulates how Souls are born, but it can also manipulate memories, or just simply transfer copies of older events. Or at least that’s how I see it.

Oh 1000% this shit is deliberate, and unraveling the mystery of what exact connection the EEX cast have to the Sector Seven team will likely be at the core of the game's story.

I shared these thoughts with some folks on Discord the night the trailer came out.

Transcript; "Calling my theories now; the story is something like 'alternate reality Kokonoe realizes she's alternate reality Kokonoe and tries to figure out everything she can about the BB world'. Or some sorta 'alternate reality Kokonoe gets possessed by/makes contact with our Kokonoe and tries to save the BB world,' but that seems more farfetched considering our Kokonoe seems fine in the CF epilogue. Still possible, considering this game is assumedly noncanon (a Cross Tag) or only quasicanon (a BBDW). I think the MOST concerning thing for me, or the biggest question, is Fox just straight up BEING IN the Torifune uniform. Seems a little on the nose. Is this still the BB setting, with Torifune Military Academy and the NOL just, straight up existing?"

Official materials say that the game is, in fact, "set in the BlazBlue universe," but considering how the BB universe works, there's no way to tell this early on what sort of alternate reality/world/timeline it could be.

BlazBlue implements some crazy awesome unexpected shit sometimes, so I don't want to speculate MUCH until we have the game in-hand... but god, I am DYING for more info.

THERE'S SO MANY QUESTIONS! What level of canon will this be??? Does this connect to the phenomen- wait maybe I shouldn't use that word in this context- the case we see happening between Ragna-Touya-Naoto, Rachel-Raquel, and Makoto-Yuki Himezuru??? Am I overthinking the trailer or are they specifically tying this cast to the events of Collisions, with Roy's corruption being clearly connected to whatever's going on with Cafe, and the talk of the Hakumen retrieval mission- WAIT DIDN'T THEY PUT HIM BACK IN THE BOUNDARY AT THE END OF CF??? SO TECHNICALLY HE'S OUT THERE TO BE GOTTEN??? AM I OVERTHINKING THIS???

Lastly, here's a silly I posted to Bluesky.
