BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger (ブレイブルー カラミティ・トリガー) is a 2D fighting game developed by Arc System Works. Its name is a combination of the words "blaze" and "blue" when the title is rendered in rōmaji, and of the words "brave" and "blue" when rendered in katakana. As Japanese people usually follow the katakana rendering, the Japanese pronunciation is made similar to the word "bray", entirely omitting the "z" sound. The game was released for the arcade in 2008, and for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2009, and Microsoft Windows in 2010. A port for the PlayStation Portable, titled BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Portable, was also released in 2010. It is the first game of the main series.
