Azwel, Leader of Humanity, Formally Announced!

During the Libra of Souls trailer released last week, Namco Bandai also revealed the final boss of the story mode. They later confirmed via an interview with @Kayane that the as yet unnamed character would be playable. Well today, they formally announced him as "Azwel, the Leader of Humanity".

It appears that Azwel will be similar to Algol in that he fights using the manifestations of Soul Edge and Soul Calibur.

SOULCALIBUR VI - Azwel Character Reveal Trailer | PS4, X1, PC

Looks cool! Excited

 

Oh god damnit... Its Algol/Necrid 2.0. The one play style I hoped wouldn't make it :/

Plus... his dialogue/choice of words screams bad writing/translation. Any time I hear "human race", it triggers me - especially if you used [humans] in the prior sentence. Mankind or Humanity would have sounded much better. /rant

On the flip side, his aesthetics at least look better than Algol - who literally looked like a man running around in his underwear wielding hand cannons...

Thanks for the laugh. Man in underwear with cannons on his hands is now the image I can't get out of my head.

Now THIS is the type of supernatural character I've been looking forward to: summoning weapons from thin air, flying around everywhere. Oh my GOD this is amazing. I can already tell personality-wise Azwel is gonna be confident, intelligent and charismatic. Any Dynasty Warrior fans getting "Zhang Jiao" vibes from him? No?

Look at him, he is just having SO MUCH FUN and he knows it. This is a whole new combined level of Algol, Necrid, Viola and Noctis. Azwel is definitely a main in my book. Hopefully his style will be available in CaS.

 

Well, I know who my training dummy is going to be.

 

BTW... this announcement of Azwel sort of confirms this previous leak:

Remaining unannounced characters: Cervantes and Raphael.

 

The voice actor is just annoying. He doesn't sound evil at all and his dialogue choice is crap. "Human Race", and the trailer even has "Leader of Humanity" in it - its like they are purposely sucking at the English translation. Changing to JP voices confirmed.

 

will you accept his love ?

 

That's one small step for man... one giant leap for Human Race...
And one huge bounce back for my brain cell count...
poor old dusty thesaurus...

 

Explains why they didn't put Noctis in SC6, they were busy making Noctis But Cooler. Hell yeah!

Hwang, too, right? With Cassandra as potential DLC?

 

This guy comes across as mentally crazy and i effing love it

 

This character is cool.

 

Ok he is even more cool than Groh, and Groh is crazy cool! I will be playing him for sure

 

GATE OF BABYLON! CAS incoming XD

 

This is indeed necrid 2.0. SO far this game is tickling every happy button of mine. It's like the SC gods at namco know exactly what I want.

Hmmm.. no Lizardman. I dont play him but that kinda sucks.

 

Azwel sounds like he’s been on crack. Goddamnit.

Thought the same. Still waiting for more retuning characters.
