Blue (ブルー Buruu?) is one of the main protagonists of SaGa Frontier. His home region is the Magic Kingdom. Born a twin with an affinity for magic, Blue is able to access powerful spells. However, these powers have been divided between himself and his twin brother, and therefore Blue can currently reach only half of his full potential. According to the customs of his land, Blue must confront and destroy his twin brother in order to attain his true strength.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Blue wears traditional clothing from his land, unsurprisingly, with a predominance of the color blue. In his official artwork he's seen wearing a fur shawl.
He has long blonde hairs, kept in order with an high ponytail.
Personality[]
Blue is focused on his quest for magic power. He has somewhat of a cold attitude toward others he encounters during his journey, straight up ignoring people and displaying an unnecessary rudeness toward others.
Blue has been described as calm and ruthless[1], questioning if he's in fact a villain protagonist. Tomomi Kobayashi, the artist that illustrated all the characters, stated:
"I tried to draw a chibi [Blue], but he ended up looking handsome and stylish. At this stage I hadn’t heard about his horrible personality, so he still looks like a nice guy here."[2]
He dislike everything that is named or painted after the color red.
Story[]
Blue's Quest[]
After graduating from the Magic Academy in the Magic Kingdom, Blue uses the RegionMap to travel to Devin and Luminous to start the Rune/Arcane and Light/Shadow Quests. After obtaining two gifts, he will either go after Space Magic or Time Magic. To get Space Magic, Princess Rei teleports him from Devin to Kyrin Paradise, where he must go through a maze. To get Time Magic, the Ring Lord Virgil teleports him to the TimeLord's Region
In any event, to obtain these gifts, he either defeats Kylin or TimeLord in combat.
After getting these gifts, he confronts Rouge in a magic duel. The winner travels to the Magic Kingdom and sees it in ruins. Traveling through the ruins, he learns that he was divided into Blue and Rouge in order to master all of the schools of magic. The seal to Hell was broken, and he travels there to defeat Hell's Lord.
"The Essence of Saga Frontier" details Blue's quest, with him acquiring the gift of Light, Arcane and Time Magic while Rouge gets Shadow, Rune and Space Magic.
The resulting duel is the won by Rouge, who absorbs Blue, merging the two personalities and unlocking the holy gift of Life Magic. This gift is subsequently used by Rouge to revive the previously defeat TimeLord[3] who was bested by Blue on his quest for Time Magic.
With the two halves back together, Rouge realizes he and Blue had always been one individual, split in two. This is proved true upon their return to the Magic Kingdom where a fellow magician explains how it was a common practice for the Magic Kingdom in order to create the Ultimate Magician able to use all kinds of magic. The end goal is to have an individual so strong that could hold back Hell and the Hell's Lord.
Rouge manages to accomplish the task, defeating Hell's Lord and reuniting with his friends.[4]
Fuse's Quest[]
Interestingly enough, Rouge's canon win over Blue is confirmed on Fuse's Quest. Fuse has the chance to follow either Blue or Rouge by choosing between the dialogue in Luminous:
- Follow the voices for Blue's route;
- Search for Silence for Rouge's route.
This choice influences which one of the twins wins the duel and merges with the deafeated one, forst route Blue wins and second route Rouge wins.
At the very beginning Doll explicity and firmly orders Fuse to go search for Silence since he's being trapped in Omeble due to Fuse's wrong information. Rescuing Silence is then the canon option between the two routes, confirming what's written on "The Essence of Saga Frontier" and "The Complete of SaGa Frontier".
However, the player has the freedom to choose wichever route is preferred. Following Blue allows him to win the duel and absorb Rouge. After that Fuse, Ren and Silence helps him defeat Hell's Lord. Afterwards, Blue is asked by the surviving member of the Magic Kingdom to help rebuild the place and guide the new generations of mages.
Other Quests[]
Red meets Blue on the Cygnus as it is being hijacked by Nomad and her pirates. He and Fuse invite him to join, but Blue refuses because he does not like Red's name.
Fuse's Crazy Investigation Log[]
In the official novel from the Essence of SaGa Frontier, Blue has a minor and sporadic appearance despite being one of the main playable characters.
Fuse encounters Blue during a trip to Kyo, where Blue is unable to get the Gift of Mind Magic due to his mind being split between him and Rouge. This causes him to start doubting himself, asking Fuse if he too thinks he's an inferior human being. Doubting himself this much proved to be fatal: in the final duel Rouge got the upper hand.
Gameplay[]
Blue is arguably the most powerful character in the entire game. The drawback is that he’s only available on his own quest since you cannot recruit him in any other quest.
Blue is available on Fuse’s quest but, for a very limited time so, developing Blue on his own quest is almost pointless.
However Blue, aside from being an excellent magic user, can spark with relative ease both Sword and M.Arts skills.
It is then recommended to pursue the Gift of Time Magic to unleash the devastating Overdrive+DSC combo.
After the duel, either Rouge or Blue can travel to Kyo and learn Mind Magic. Mind Magic is rather useful as Mind Heal is a decent self heal and Awaken can replace Soul Rune if the player decided to pursue the Arcane Quest.

Trivia[]
- A character with Blue's name and appearance is a protagonist of Treasure Hunter G alongside a similar character for Red. The creators reused the character in this game, although this character is canonically not the same.
- Red encounters Blue on the Cygnus during the hijacking, but Blue refuses to join Red because he dislikes Red's name, which has the same meaning as Rouge. This is also likely a reference to their roles in Treasure Hunter G.
- Blue is one of two characters that have the gift for Realm Magic
- Blue does not join any other quest.
- If Blue loses the duel, then the player plays the rest of the quest as Rouge.
- Blue is considered a villain protagonist, judging from his interactions with people and how selfish he is (such as ignoring the people being threatened by Nomad when in Tanzer, ditching Fei-On in Tanzer once acquiring the Rune, and killing Kylin to get the gift for space magic at the expense of destroying a safe haven for lost children).
