GV: Wait...Azure Striker? BUT THAT'S MY THING!!! First people get there own Muse now someone else is using my own thing!!! GET YOUR OWN THING!!!
Kirin: It's alright GV.
GV: HE'S EVEN USING MY LUXCALIBUR!!!!
Copen: Your moves sucked anyway...
*in another timeline*
Demerzel: You know that sword thing GV did back then was pretty cool. Imma use that.
Everyone who's fought GV: "Isn't easy to fight, isn't it GV?"
A nice nod for his lore as he was one of the experiment subject for Azure Striker septima.
That conversation really hits hard.
Nova calling GV out was probably the realest reality checks GV could have gotten throughout the entire game. Also a splendid boss fight. Nova with both Septimas is truly a force to be reckoned with,
They turned him into a dog, so lets take his condidence and add regret to.
The reason why Nova chose Muse Project is because it's the best solution in the world where every country except Japan are either destroyed or ruled by adepts. He doesn't want Japan to go down the same way as the others and after he died everything he said was right the adepts go out of control, terrorists invaded Japan twice because Japan became weaker.
@@kuzanjp9336 He’s not completely right though. His methods were inhumane. Look at Stratos, the gluttonous fly. He wasn’t always insanely hungry and that disheveled. He used to be a VERY handsome man and popular man, but Sumeragi kidnapped him and did experiments on his body for his Septima. They got him addicted to a drug called SEED and drove him crazy until he was nothing but a mindless husk with an insatiable hunger. There’s also the fact they killed Copen’s father and imprisoned Joule against her will with a machine that caused her great pain to use her septima. Gunvolt’s solution wasn’t perfect, but Sumeragi was still corrupt and needed to go down. No one should have total control over the entire world like Nova attempted.
@Reicho They didn't kill Copen's Father Asimov did Sumeragi covered it up.
I honestly would have liked an interaction between iX Copen and Gunvolt from ASG3, especially considering how much experience that version of Copen has and how his world is pretty messed up.
I like how Nova seem rational about what happened in the past and accept that perhap things can turn out better without his project. Nova's voice sound different though...
I just realized that Dogvolt's bangs are quite similar to Nova's 🤣
I find it strange that Nova considers himself a “transplant” considering GV, Ashimov and himself are all “transplant” artificial Septima holders (Sumeragi also grabbed illegal immigrants like Ashimov). GV was basically kidnapped as well and lost all memory after his, while Nova had a high rejection from the Azure striker and had to settle for “second best” option which was a match. Ashimov has a limiter because he can’t control/turn it off despite being a partial match (around 50%?) and GV is like a 90% match.
Inti probably forgot
Any plothole in this series can be fixed with "Moebius countless possibilities".
Didn't he develop the second one after his body rejected the Azure striker?
@@zero123alpha6 Yes
@@XtraCreations More like Inti remembered
Is GV slowly becoming the most tragic video game character.
Slowly but steadily, I'm sure they will kill him offscreen in some future game to replace him with someone new and then have us fighting him as the twist reveal boss. Nothing against Copen or Kirin, but the devs seem pretty focused on getting rid of GV.
@@grayrodent8232
basically...
We're going to get a new azure striker, maybe gunvolt will pass some knowledge to new recruits about the power of the lightning septima
@@grayrodent8232 I don't think "get rid of" is the right term here. Definitely showing that GV screwed up big time, multiple times. That just being the hero and getting big bads with nothing to replace was brash and impulsive. If the good ending is anything to go by, he gonna try to make things right.
@@JamesTheTurnbull It's just a hypothesis considering that early drafts of ASG 2 had only Copen as a playable character and GV as the "new shiden" so to say, so I can't help but feel they want to transition to a new main character but, Gunvolt being the name on the box art in big letters alongside a dozen cameos across 6 years makes it quite hard to paint him off the picture. I also peg that as the reason why his gameplay is mostly unchanged in ASG 2 aside from some mild quality of life improvements and his ending seemed pretty definitive, he was reintroduced at the end of the development cycle and they didn't have enough time to further iterate on his gameplay. Some of those unfinished ideas maybe are the basis for how GV currently plays in 3 who knows.
Either way, yes, it does seem like the plot pivots toward Gunvolt doing some multidimensional time traveling mumbo jumbo and, honestly, I'm all for it. Especially since this game was an absolute banger in terms of polish, lots of fun collectibles, many different ways to play the game, 3 post game focused game modes; ASG 2 holds a very special place in my heart but in terms of gameplay this one is a close second and I would be pretty sad to see the franchise end on the third entry.
@@grayrodent8232 At least they made their own game for Copen so that it doesn't overshadow GV
At least until Kirin arrives and replaces him for most of his own game.
I dunno bro, I get the whole "killing people is bad, we should work towards change together" aesop here but, let's be honest, it falls a bit flat when you consider Sumeragi were lead by straight up turbo racists (Looking at you Kamizono) and Eden was a bunch of traumatized teenagers plotting mass genocide. You can hardly blame Gunvolt for merking them and it feels like someone just got fed up with Gunvolt and tried to paint him in a more antagonistic light.
If anything this whole game's plot could be summarized as "Blame the victim to the point of suicidal ideation: Electric Boogaloo" pun intended.
Gameplay is still banger tho loved Kirin.
Sumeragi was bad. Gunvolt killed the ones trying to fix it.
Eden was a bunch of literal children. Gunvolt killed them all.
No, bro, no I can blame Gunvolt pretty easily. He's always had a bit of antagonistic light on him, you just weren't paying attention. He's not a bad guy, but the situations he finds himself in are not ones that should be solved by just killing everyone.
@@Zakuzelo I get what you're saying, yes, but my more straightforward point is that GV honestly didn't have that much of an option most of the time.
I went and replayed the game just to verify the argument and... I'm still not feeling it:
ASG 1 was the most morally gray one since you're a literal terrorist, but more than half of the cast either give you no other option or aren't really trying to alleviate the problem at all.
Jota was fought in a very meaningless place since there was no muse anymore, he was a zealot who wouldn't have ever relented, but I guess GV could have high tailed from that place no worse for wear. He's also the one who probably would have tried to change things for the better had he not been so thick headed.
Viper was... Viper, a victim like the others in any case, not taking his, well, "deviations" into account. And his stage was a straightforward act of terrorism too so, yeah, not good.
Merak was Merak. That kid was a straight sociopath with reality-bending powers and barely anyone paying enough attention to reign him in. And his stage was straight up bait for Gunvolt so he had it coming. Hell, he's the one who screwed over Elise in the first place, unambiguously evil that one is.
Segway into Elise, and this is the first real Morton's Fork. You either let out a bloodthirsty and nearly inmortal personality that plans on releasing a zombie apocalypse or you kill it alongside her meek and quite pitiable base personality even apologizes for the situation you're into, it's quite sad but there was no real golden ending here.
Stratos was a straight up mercy kill and proof that the high ranking individuals were giving a rat ass about the devious inner working of Sumeragi. You can only use "For the greater good" excuse so much, and everything about this level honestly tops it. It was f'ed up.
Carrera literally wouldn't have had it any other way and he cared not for anything else around him, he was raring for a fight on one of the most tame missions until now, just destroying some data, so he reaped what he sowed.
Shiden had two sides, on one he's honestly a victim being fully indoctrinated into this mess, but I repeat even if his goals were understandable and even good, the way the whole organization was going about it is straight up evil. You don't push some weird power on a kid and then force them into labor or strap them to a machine for the rest of their lives.
Gunvolt at least always had his moral compass aiming north, and worked towards changing the world for the better, so even if he WAS a terrorist willing to do some really nasty things, the prologue missions shows that the moment he perceived things were getting out of hand he would try to do better.
Now, Gunvolt 2? That's a ride.
Like I said, everyone in Eden was out for blood, ESPECIALLY Gibril and Teseo who were straight up giddy at the prospect of causing some serious damage. Freudian Excuse is no Excuse and while we hear that humans can be just as bad as adepts, it is also a fact that adept insurrections have caused so much damage around the world that the only place that still retains a sensation of peace was japan under the rule of Sumeragi, so it really isn't a Black and White situation either.
GV had no way of knowing that Eden would start a whole ass invasion as soon as he took out Shiden, then did his best to clean up the mess; he tracked all the G7 members causing a ruckus, with some he still pleaded for them to stop before defaulting to murder, quite a long shot from the more snarky and abrasive in-stage dialogue from ASG1.
At every point Gunvolt makes it clear that he just wants for humans and adepts to coexist peacefully never taking a side and being mostly reactionary, everyone else is just so far the deep end that no one will try to search for a better alternative.
He keeps asking COPEN of all people to cooperate towards their shared goal and Copen just keeps going on a blind rampage against all adept kind. Asimov, as reinforced by the Luminous Avenger, is merely a parallel to Copen on the adepts side. And we still don't know if he was actually that power hungry or a hundred years of dealing with a faulty Septima and being downloaded into a battery to keep existing made quite the dent in his already declining sanity.
Nearly 70% percent of the named cast in this god forsaken franchise has taken murder as their middle name so I just find it pretty hypocritical to place Gunvolt on the spotlight when he's the only one actively trying to defuse conflict whenever given the chance even though his background is just as traumatizing as everyone else's.
@@Zakuzelo
>Gunvolt killed the one trying to fix it
Who? You mean Copen's father?
@@grayrodent8232 You're missing the point. It's not about whether or not GV had any other option, it's that he didn't even try to find one beyond some occasional, token "hey stop."
You're right that the situation isn't black-and-white, and that's exactly why being all "Gunvolt did nothing wrong" is such a ludicrous stance to take.
And don't even try to pin the world situation on adepts as a whole. It's a proven fact that the vast majority of adepts have septima mundane to the point of uselessness; even if some small percentage really are super-powered and do pop off and wreck shit, you can't blame this entire mess on their entire population. That's one of the least morally gray points in the whole setting.
@@Zakuzelo I can totally believe that just about a dozen individuals could have wrecked the whole planet, ASG honestly paints a horrifying picture sometimes when describing the scale of some Septimas. Shiden was literally only defeated due to Joule fighting from the inside a reality warping megazord fuelled with psychic power who can summon a meteor from space and is equipped with a kill sat, Elise can bring upon the apocalypse as exposed above, Stratos has a borderline global range Septima able to consume almost anything, the only reason Teseo isn't a final boss is his lack of mastery with his Septima and having nearly zero ambition, Gibril can lift a Battleship WITHOUT armatization and Milas can literally control ALL LIQUIDS, HIS OWN OBSESSION WITH THE SEA AND SHEER LACK OF SCOPE NEUTERED A WORLD ENDING SEPTIMA, and Zed is either on that same scope or a tier above. And even above that I'm not entirely sure how the hell did Gunvolt defeat True Zonda at the end of ASG 2.
Its proven that Gunvolt is the only reason humanity didn't go extinct in ASG 1, it only takes a dozen or so of the plentiful super powered adepts uniting under one banner to take over the whole world. Copen barely managed to stop Asimov after a hundred years, and it was technically only won due to outside interference and a very finicky and unlikely sequence of events that thankfully transpired.
But obviously that doesn't excuse the mistreatment of adepts, Zonda and Asimov only went as far as they did because humans keep being huge bastards without provocation. Again, not excusing their actions, but I totally understand how they ended up where they are; my heart goes to Ghauri and Asroc. They just wanted to dance and make sweets dude, heart-wrenching stuff...
But all that brings me to this, everyone in this cast is extremely young, some going as low as 13, and pretty much everyone has heavy emotional issues that become accentuated due to their powers and the world around them. I don't see Gunvolt as some sort of messiah, but compared to nearly all others he's the only who didn't snap at the world and I think that's more than enough.
The child was *14* by the end of ASG 1 and 17 max before being sealed by Sumeragi going by how he has barely changed and taking in account he stopped aging after becoming a dragon.
I simply refuse to hold a middlescholer to scrutiny for not being able to fix all societal problems in the world singlehandedly, especially after he's being trying so hard stop it from collapsing under its own weight and being stripped of everything he holds dear more than once. The sole fact that he's trying to work with Sumeragi now after all that ensued is something I find admirable. Which is why it baffles me that if we go with all the dialogue in the game excluding Kirin and Shiden, Gunvolt, against his best judgement, SHOULD have allowed Joule to be taken and used by Sumeragi as a tool, which obviously the game isn't trying to imply at all but every character still keeps kicking Gunvolt down for the things he did and the goals failed to achieve. Only Kirin tried (and really, failed miserably but she's from a whole different context so I don't hold it against her) to both understand Gunvolt's actions and highlight the good he has brought through his struggles.
No one should be required to go through what they all did, but from my perspective, he really did everything he could with the cards he was dealt even if it wasn't the 100% right thing to do, and taking in account the end of the game he probably will keep on trying until he finally kicks the bucket.
PS: I now realize that the spirit of my original comment might be interpreted as something broader, since it was only meant to talk about me feeling that Gunvolt, a morally upright if somewhat naïve character, is getting progressively more shafted with each release in the series and not meant to comment on the themes of the game as a whole. That came as an amusing little extra and I stand for what I said.
As a whole, while remarkable that such a game in a genre known for very thin excuse plots, for the sake of having a funny character run through many stages with bosses at the end, tried to convey an actually in-depth story with lots of character development, the ideas about discrimination being a never ending cycle without real heroes or villains and that the use of violence to solve these issues should be minimized as well become a bit of a huge contrast in a game where the main antagonists are trying to conquer the world through psychic j-pop, doubly so when the antagonists are clearly written with some level of nuance but have goals that are objectively evil. If Gunvolt wins, nothing is fixed but the status quo is maintained, if the antagonists win, 9/10 times genocide ensues and we can't really count on Copen saving the world a hundred years later every time.
So, yeah, I applaud the effort for a more complex dynamic but I will keep rooting for the blonde ball of lighting and angst. Until someone magically develops the Septima of "Erasing racism and prejudice in general from the whole world", I can only count on lightning pup and cyberpunk Reimu to stave off societal collapse.
Cheers!
Perhaps the timeline that nova boss appear is the timeline that the diva project is suceed and after gunvolt 3 series perhaps there is mutiple timelin of gunvolt chronicles series
THE FEELS😭😭
Copen and Asimov boss updates waiting room.
Maybe you will be hearing the Luminous Avenger iX "Copen" & Demerzel.
So Asimov got it but still waiting on Copen though
Will there be skill images for Nova released later on based on some of his movesets?
dunno, purely depend on Inti Create
Great video very helpful. Do you need any image pulse equipped?
you need to equipping Nova's image pulse to encounter him
@@neodarksaber0 thank you very much.
@Dominotik Ivan Tulovskiy and with Gunvolt active.
He have a transplant in the purgatory?
They mentioned in the dialogue: the whole sequence of events is effectively taking place in a “what if” alternate universe created by Astral Order. The idea of Nova having a transplant to get the Azure Striker, which he always wanted, is something that could absolutely happen in one of them.
"maybe it was actually a mistake to oppose a megalomaniac who controlled the city and wanted to kind control people." Wut?
So yeah dude retires and decides his last game will flip off the first games ending and just pretend the second never happened.
Whats that about some group that was manipulating both gv and copen to get muse? Copen? Literally anyone from the first two games? No let's ignore all that and focus on some douch their harem and some magic sparkle dragon...
Yeah I think I'm just going to pretend this and Ix2 don't exist. Honestly feels even more like a spinoff than Ix.
GV doesn't think of his actions as a mistake, but rather he wonders if there could have been another way. Keep in mind that he is several decades old, and that's plenty of time to wonder on "what ifs" and "maybes." Kirin even says that if she was in GV's position during the events of GV1, she would have done the same thing. Nova says this too after you beat him.
So no, GV3 isn't flipping off the ending of GV1, but rather its looking back on it under the lens of "if only we weren't so close minded back then."
I don't think GV3 is anywhere close to being as disappointing as iX2, but I will also not deny it certainly had a lot of missed potential, nor will I deny that it's the weakest of the trilogy story wise. But I still think it's a fun game despite it's flaws. That's just my opinion, though.
Eden, liax timeline, kinda proves that Nova has a point, which not worse than Gunvolt one.
