    This video was a while in the making, as I'm sure you can tell. One day Warpugss was showing us the Guilty Gear story chart, and I told him to stop, write it up into a full presentation and then if he presented it to us, I'd edit it for him and give him the ad revenue. And here we are. You have no idea how much I had to cut out just to squeeze this into an hour long, and there's still loads more lore that we didn't even touch on in the cut segments.
    Did I mention I've never played a Guilty Gear game in my life? Cool story though.

    At one point, I-No realizes she cannot beat Sol Badguy (or at the very least that doing so would be very difficult). So she drags him back through time to fight himself when he was in the Order, Order Sol. After Sol Badguy wins, I-No kills the weakened Order Sol so that Sol Badguy will die. But Sol Badguy doesn't die and when I-No is confused and asks him how that's possible, he says something along the lines of "That isn't me. I'm me."

    Heres some FUN lore facts the video didn't go over!
    - Vampires in guilty gear are INSANELY OP, and are one of the few things capable of boxing with Full power Sol.
    - Gabriel, Potemkin's best friend and the President of Zepp, is an old RIVAL of Slayer, a vampire, and as FAR as we know, Gabriel is a normal ass human. Gabriel is so strong in fact, Slayer is SCARED OF POTEMKIN, because Potemkin uses the same techniques.
    - Happy Chaos is the Original, thus making him GOD.
    - Axel's whole deal being a time traveller who secretly is some kind of 'fragment of the backyard turn into a person'; leads to him gaining control over time at the end of Xrd- and his time manipulation is pretty fucking crazy as it's comparable to I-No's (Who is also that)
    - Axel and I-No were dating, in a weird multiversal way. Basically Axel wants to get back to his girlfriend known as Megumi, while I-No wants to get back to her boyfriend, Will (Though over time she had time travelled so much, she had forgotten who she was looking for). It wasn't until I-No met her end, did she realize that She is Axel's "Megumi" and that "Will" is Axel.
    - Robo Ky doesn't die during the fight with Bedman, and survives as just a head. Robo Ky and Venom end up starting a bakery together to earn money to get Robo Ky a new body.
    - Asuka, at the end of it all, goes to the fucking MOON and starts up a Radio Show.

      The reason he went to the moon was to keep safe the Book of Magic- the book ONLY ASUKA AND HAPPY CHAOS can understand and nobody else, the book that Asuka pretty much bound to his goddamn body and was the whole ass reason why Happy was trying to find him to giver to I-No because she needed it, not him.

    My friend Rimmy did an absolutely amazing job cutting down 2 1/2+ hours of me talking into a concise, funny, and still comprehensible video.
    I’m also sure I just got some things wrong, during my note taking I had a tendency to hyper focus on specific characters and misread or misunderstand interactions with other characters. I did however do my best to fix all of those but I’m sure I missed one or two for the hardcore lore fan.
    Anyway simply due to the length of the recording some things got the axe. So here’s some fun facts other have pointed out.
    Asuka goes to the moon but he also starts a podcast up there.
    Guilty gear is technically in its second timeline due to the events called the “battle of Rome” where a bunch of characters die and time travel is used to save the world. (In the first timeline humans lose.)
    The lyrical music for every character tells that characters story for that game. This is the cause for the joke “Daisuke made a cool album and someone added a game to it.”
    Vampires and yokai are real and they are considered some of the strongest beings outside the literal gods that exist in GG.

      He's not a sorta reincarnation, he just is the Original. At some point during the crusades the Original encounters I-no in the backyard and takes half of her power to stop her from reaching godhood. The Universal Will taking note of this used that power and fused it with the Original twisting him into the omnipotent devil we know today.
      - Also fun fact he only started using the name 'Happy Chaos' after eavesdropping a conversation between Jack-o and Raven were she talks about a twin model Asuka made alongside Jack-o called Happy Chaos, he liked it enough to steal the name. (This also might be a reason why he also has a Halo similar to hers, though this is probably a nod from the design team because that seperate Jack-o unit 'Happy Chaos' is not the Original and he was trapped inside Ariels a.k.a the Universal Will for the rest of Xrd up until the start of Strive)

      Not entirely, as far as I know. The way Justice "gave birth" to Dizzy has never been confirmed, and neither has the fact that she's biologically Sol's child. I think the scene where Ky realises Sol is his dad in law is based on the logic that Justice is Dizzy's mother -> Justice is Aria -> Aria and Sol had a thing -> Sol is basically Dizzy's dad

      Sol was made into the prototype gear in 2016. From that point until 2073 where Aria was fully converted to Justice, the two of them never met again. Not until the deathmatch where Sol kills Justice and realizes who she was.
      So no, Dizzy was never birthed from Justice. It's implied someone from the PWAB got dna samples of Sol and Justice and made Dizzy in a test tube.
      Edit: Justice was sealed in 2175, Dizzy was "born" in 2177. 3 years before Justice was freed and subsequently killed by Sol.

    43:44 There are two things I like about Sin's explanation of how he was born.
    One, is that it sounds like a god creation myth. "Two gods got into shenanigans with exchanging their eyes and one of the eyes fell on the ground. From the spot where the eye fell, a new god, their son, sprung fully formed." Reminds me of Athena springing from Zeus's forehead.
    Two, is that Remlethal straight up believes him. Which make sense seeing as, based on what I got from this video, she's a young gear too.

    Pity that you skimmed over bedman since he's, in my mediocre opinion, by far the most tragic character in strive despite how loony tunes a character concept he is. He and his sister were psychics so powerful that they have to be permanently comatose to not fry their brains - bedman uses his mechanised bed as a ways of interacting with the world while asleep. Delilah was even more powerful than bedman and so couldn't be conscious enough to interact with the dream world like bedman. tl;dr bedman kills people and is on the side of the big bad (the universal will/ariels) because he hopes that ariels will assist him in merging his dreamworld with reality, where he will be powerful enough to wake up his sister and resurrect every person he has killed to achieve that (as he takes care to remember the names of _every single person_ he has killed to get closer to waking his sister).
    So imagine the impact it has on him in his dying moments when Ariels revealed that she was puppeteering him the whole time to achieve her own goals and made him a mass murderer for nothing. As a final sacrifice for his sins, he single handedly creates the absolute world *by himself* to seal off Delilah's power and let her awaken before he crumbles into dust.
    Except his devotion for his sister who was never able to live turned him into a mechanical revenant after death. The shattered remnants of his bedframe now act as Delilah's rabid yet caring protector, willing to destroy itself for the sake of making her worry less about the destruction it causes. How much of the bedframe's behaviour is from its programming bedman left as his last will and how much is from bedman's soul puppeteering its remains in a last act of penance is unknown, but it is clear that despite being fully mechanical it acts oddly compassionate towards Delilah.

    @DarthMolgy Рік тому +105

    As the Guilty Gear lore nerd who just HAS to be "that guy" (not to be confused with That Man), here are some corrections:
    You got the beginning of the timeline jumbled a bit; The Original discovered the Backyard created the Universal Will BEFORE 1999, and then it studied humans (who didn't have magic yet) and decided they need to be replaced.
    The Universal Will WAS the celestial being that tried to awaken in Y2K and caused the events of the entire series.
    The Prototype Gear IS a full-fledged Gear, and a powerful one at that. He's also not LITERALLY the father of all gears (they aren't made from his DNA or something) - he's just the first "model". Sol IS however the father of Dizzy, BIOLOGICALLY, through Aria/Justice.
    Gears aren't usually created through infection - they are mostly genetically modified living beings, who differ in shape and size depending on the class; the exception to this is The Japanese, who due to their enhanced Ki abilities or whatever (which have been present before Japan was destroyed) can be turned into Antimatter Gears through a sort of disease (which is what the Universal Will did in the Black Sunrise).
    While Gears that were originally humans/are part human keep a more humanoid appearance and usually a high level of sapience, not all of them are Command Class - that's reserved for Justice and later Dizzy.
    ALL Magic draws from the Backyard, it's not exclusive to Gear Cells; Gear Cells just happen to be cells modified by Magic.
    Venom wasn't "the pupil of Eddie" - he was Zato's pupil long before he got possessed by Eddie.
    The original doesn't die, he is forced to absorb half of I-no (which turns him into the blue guy known as Happy Chaos) by the Universal Will who THEN absorbs him alive, which makes her go a bit insane.
    Jack-O' does not have Justice's memories, but her memories from Aria are a bit jumbled because she was released ahead of completion. She has one half of Aria's soul while Justice has the other, so fusing the two brings back Aria (allegedly, but Aria's soul doesn't want to come back yet so the body stays as Jack-O' with her hair colors swapped).
    Happy Chaos blew up the apartment complex Nagoryuki was under, not I-no; and Nago just tried to kill Happy Chaos but instead was forced to fight I-no - the one who saved everyone from the explosion was resident British timelord Axl Low.
    Time travel isn't a "witch thing" (It's exclusive to I-no because she has the same code as Axl or something) and I-no isn't "the last witch" (she's actually something called a "Magical Foci" of which there are a lot, but most are either objects or Yokai). I-no was created when the hopes of all of humanity during the Crusades merged into the Backyard, and the result was a being so powerful The Original had to split her in half by taking away her desire (which eventually lead to him becoming Happy Chaos as noted earlier).
    Axl isn't from the Victorian Era, his vanished in 1998.
    I-no whoops the asses of almost everyone BUT Frederick, who kills her using a bunch of nuclear batteries supplied by President Vernon to create an infinite energy output beam aimed at her weak point which was revealed by Nagoryuki.
    Asuka took the Flames of Corruption from Sol (which still leaves him part Gear BTW) not during the fight, but after they thought they have already won.
    Vernon was already president.
    The version of herself I-no brought back while she disappeared into a time paradox wasn't some "eviler I-no sent to haunt Axl" - it was Megumi, Axl's girlfriend from his original time (I-no and Axl both dated alternate versions of each other in their original timelines, it's weird). In Xrd I-no tells Axl that if he goes back to Megumi he would destroy the current timeline, and if he brings Megumi to this timeline he would destroy himself; so in her last moments, I-no brought Megumi back herself (semi-destroying I-no) so that the two can finally be together again with no consequences.

    • @Ashragi
      @Ashragi 8 місяців тому +17

      Correction to your correction
      "Time travel isn't a "witch thing" (It's exclusive to I-no because she has the same code as Axl or something"
      It actually is an I-no thing and has nothing to do with her connection to Axl. AXL has these powers because of his connection to I-no.
      Additionally Megumi is an alternate timeline version of I-no but this is also seemingly just a coincidence and has nothing to do with them being connected.

    Mistakes
    - Delilah isn't stuck in a bed, she and Bedman are both in comas because they're so smart their minds will destroy their own bodies if they ever wake up (this intelligence is also why Bedman has psychic powers). Bedman has a bed so he can go around and enact his schemes, but Delilah is just in containment somewhere until Bedman uses his dying moments to wake her up.
    - Happy Chaos is the Original, not the Universal Will. He went insane from being trapped inside the Universal Will, and also stole the name Happy Chaos as it was meant for *yet another Valentine* that would contain I-No's power the same way Jack-O' contained Justice's. The Universal Will created the original Valentine, Ramlethal, and Elphelt, while Asuka created Jack-O' and the one who would have been Happy Chaos. He never got the chance to finish that last one, so the now-insane Original yoinked the name for himself.
    - I-No doesn't replace herself with a more evil version of herself from the past. Axl is from another timeline, and I-No is his girlfriend Megumi from the main timeline, as it just so happens that the couple are both living spacetime anomalies. Axl can't go back to his timeline without erasing the main one, and I-No just didn't bother searching for her Axl when he disappeared, instead jumping through spacetime to figure out why she had her powers until she went mad, became evil, and forgot his face. I-No only recognizes Axl as she's dying and uses her remaining power to bring the Megumi of Axl's timeline into the main timeline so that at least *a* version of her will get *a happy ending with her boyfriend.*

    I appreciate this video existing due to the pure fact that it captures my experience of crazily explaining guilty gear lore to my friends. Skipping major plot points and getting things wrong so I can get to the funny stuff. That is the essence of this lore.

    58:00 ima correct some stuff about chaos and I-no,
    I-no was created in the backyard as a result of humanities emotions during the crusades, giving her God like power, with control over everything aspect of existence, but she was dormant. The Original found her in the backyard went "oh fuck this is bad" and took half of her, leaving her with no desire for the future and aspects of her personality were also lost, as well as half of her power, I-no dreams of a better life during this time
    When the original was absorbed he wasn't killed, he was trapped, and then left to fester in his own madness, and the original does not fuck around because he invented magic, hence the name, and to beat him the universal will forced that other half of I-no into him. This turned the original into Happy Chaos, who is the strongest GG character as well.
    His presence subconsciously forces ariels into doing the majority of her acts, including killing bedman, which is why Delilah is gunning for chaos in strive.
    When I-no grabs him he knows that the world would likely be destroyed in a paradox should I-no succeed, but there's drama here so he goes along with it.
    He can use mind control and this is how to enslaves Nagoriyuki. Also He blew up the tower with nago in it, and he can move when axl freezes time.
    The Original taught Asuka and the conclave magic as well.
    I-no's a time traveler, and she's bounced for a very, very long time to find a happy future, but it always ends in a grey, dry world, but if she were to become complete, she could fix it, so she needs to absorb chaos, hence absorbing her missing half, and they need the tome of origin, a powerful artifact wrote by chaos/original.
