Guy is one of those characters I really want to hug and say that everything will be alright...like, it's okay honey (even thought you're like two years older than me--), I'm here for you. But...I'm a girl. So that would likely only make things worse. I mean, literally ever since the first showing of his phobia I just wanted to hug him... Because I _GET IT._ I had _SEVERE_ Androphobia (fear of men) ever since I was like 7-8 (technically I was probably younger when I first developed it since it was likely first a result of...er...shall we say...a daily run in with a pedophile that lasted for possibly around four years but it was a much more mild case when I first developed it and it only really became severe after my father (who had abandoned my mother, baby brother, and I shortly after learning of my aforementioned encounters only to come back temporarily around 2-3 years later) started practically verbally abusing me so that's around the time I really fully developed my androphobia) I mean, my phobia wasn't quite as bad as Guy's but it was really close. Like, I didn't outright freeze up/start shaking but--actually...you know...now that I think about it in a way my phobia was both better (as in less severe) and worse. I mean, sure I was able to touch males if I absolutely had to but even then it was only several years later when I was starting to get better and even with that being said I would only ever touch fingertips with them because I was too scared to shake hands or give them fist bumps and my parents (mother and grandmother) outright forced me to do so...but I'd still freeze up a bit whenever a male touched me. And on top of that I could barely even be in the same room as a man without having at least a miniature panic attack (unlike Guy who has no problem being around women just so long as they aren't touching him/too close and outright admitted to enjoying looking at beautiful women). I couldn't even look them in the eyes...I mean, I can never look anyone in the eyes (having the social aspects of autism sucks...although luckily I excel at staring directly past people so it _LOOKS_ like I'm looking them in the eyes) but still. And talking to them? There are only a few men I've met throughout my life who I've been able to talk to without even the slightest bit of uncomfort who wasn't a kid (back when I was still suffering from the full brunt of my phobia it still technically extended to almost all males but I was okay with really little kids (well, kind of, they actually had to be a lot younger than me) and given enough time with other kids my age or who were either a year or two older/younger than me I was able to start to feel more comfortable around them so I could in theory (I say in theory because I usually don't talk to anyone unless we either have a shared interest or if I'm off of my medicine) talk to them and hang out with them without a problem but it took me a lot longer with males and they _HAD_ to be around my age or have a common interest). I literally had two full on mental breakdowns back in high school (when I was actually almost completely over my phobia by the way) because all of the seats on the bus were taken except for ones next to boys and I was afraid to sit next to them so I tried to sit in the aisle instead of taking a seat. So the first time a girl had to switch seats so I could sit next to her and the second time I was forced to sit with a boy who I thankfully happened to know a bit and was a little more comfortable around. So sure I may have been able to touch guys without looking like I'm having a seizure but at the same time I was definitely a lot less functional than Guy... Anyway...sorry for going kind of off topic. TLDR: I just want to give guy a hug because I totally know what it's like to have a crippling phobia of the opposite sex due to childhood trauma.
I must agree with you here XD I find the GAME death hilarious! But in the anime its a bit more realistic, and its 10x sadder than this DX I love Guy...hes amazing :D
am i the only one who actually think that mary's death was hilarious? cause i just wanna know why she was flying in mid air when she could have just ran towards gailardia. and when she got socalled sliced in the back... she stuck her head up as if it felt good or something.
LULZ! ya i know! i thought mary's death was funny too.. they should at least make the scene more dramatic cuz Guy described that there was blood but why isn't there? XD
In the anime, it shows you him climbing out becuase he was scared xx
I actually shed some tears watching this. Poor, poor, poor Guy. :'
