Inazuma, formerly known as Energaia Neun, or EN-Neun for short, is a character who briefly appeared in Blitztank's ending on Akatsuki Blitzkampf (Ausf. Achse) prior to his full debut in an Anastasis update of EN-Eins Perfektewelt, where he is a primary deuteragonist, and temporarily start out as a final boss (with EN-Eins as his final boss) for its first release prior to the proper full launch release date.

Inazuma is slightly different from the original Akatsuki, in terms of color palette, but sports a robotic-like red eyed helmet and a power belt. Inazuma's default colors all consists of blue & red color tones. Despite being revealed to be an Energaia Clone, he is powered by the Type-1 Blitz Motor, and his true face beneath his helmeted mask is unknown.

Plots[]
EN-Eins Perfektewelt Anastasis[]
A Type-1 Blitzsoldier, Inazuma came to exist by the Land Research Institute before the Population Control Council led by Murakumo took the former's development to finalize the masked soldier's existence. In truth, he was formerly known as an Energaia clone number Neun prior Murakumo's take over on the two said government where Neun was transformed into "Inazuma" by him. Although no one even Murakumo were unaware of his true identity, except those who were part of ancient Perfecti Cult and its secret projects. At some point, he escapes from Murakumo off-screen for a time being until he resurfaces in 20XX when the New Orders of Knights Templar led by Mycale the Perfecti, declares war on humanity.
Arcade Story[]
Inazuma resurfaces from the shadows as the New Orders of Knights Templar declares war on humanity, making his way to the Knights Templar's base in Antarctica, he re-encounters Murakumo, who states he's impressed he's made it this far, but states he will storm the base with his army, but Inazuma declares him a fool and states he's done with him. After defeating Murakumo, he encounters Valkyria, the Knights Templar's second-in-command, who addresses him as the one qualified (while confused as to why he's wearing a mask) and challenges him to prove he has the right to enter Neuland. After defeating Valkyria, he enters the Knights Templar Elevator, where he encounters and greets Energaia Eins, the first of the Energaia clones and a fellow survivor. EN-Eins is shocked to see a man who was once his ninth brother is now a Blitzsoldier. EN-Eins asked EN-Neun for his reason of reaching the Kingdom of Neuland, with EN-Neun stating he wants to create the new world himself and become it's god, EN-Eins refuses and does battle with him. Upon defeating EN-Eins, EN-Neun, now known as Inazuma, states that he believes he's thinking of something better than his brother as the elevator descends deeper to the depths of the shaft, EN-Eins assumes he wants to fight the gods themselves.

Trivia[]
- His tentative name prior to being given official name was simply a Blitzsoldier (
電光兵 , Denkōhei in Japan), which instead is a species of a cyberized soldier who utilizes Blitz Motors. - Inazuma was originally a scrapped playable character, whose data files were found in the original EN-Eins before being completed in the anniversary-based standalone update version of the game, Anastasis. Because it made its cameo appearance in Blitztank's ending on Akatsuki Blitzkampf (Ausf. Achse), Inazuma originally meant to properly in original EN-Eins, but was left unused prior to Anastasis update, due to likely the timing to draw his sprites were on deadlines.
- Originally, many fans referred him to as "Robo Akatsuki" prior to the said update of the second game.
- To completely differentiate from Akatsuki, Inazuma is being given a bike-like vehicle. Due to this, he is heavily inspired from Kamen Riders, particularly from Showa era. Because of his inspiration originating from the said tokusatsu series, Inazuma had unofficial other tentative name called Blitzrider (
電光 ライダー, Denkōrider in Japan).- The series' sprite artist and also Inazuma's handler, Man Die also confirms on Twitter[1] that the special effects for Inazuma's moveset are not just inspired from Kamen Rider series.
- Inazuma's Armored Piercing Fist is also Akatsuki's cut move in both Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late sub-series and BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle.
