| abstract | - Originally a lab-like structure deep within the Earth that looked upon the Cauldron inside, District 1 is not only the birthplace of the Black Beast as a result of a failed experiment, but it is also the area in which Shūichirō Ayatsuki was killed and where Relius Clover was consumed and sent many years into the future. First Area is first explored in BlazBlue: Phase 0 novel. Ragna the Bloodedge, Celica A. Mercury, Nine and Trinity Glassfille believed that Shūichirō Ayatsuki might be residing inside the complex after the birth of the Black Beast; together, they ventured towards the complex and eventually, with the help of Trinity, were able to find Shūichirō's laboratory and the towering Kushinada's Lynchpin. After having an argument over the morality of Celica sacrificing herself to the Lynchpin in order to save the world from the Black Beast, and a brief battle between Nine and the recently arrived Jūbei, the aforementioned monstrous beast arose. After Nine teleported Celica, Trinity and herself out of the lab, Jūbei and Ragna engaged the beast. It is in First Area that Ragna was consumed by the Black Beast in order to delay its movement for a year. Some time before the Phase Shift series, the Susano'o Unit was excavated in First Area by the Japanese Government and was immediately hidden so the world would not be made aware of its existence.
