A little piece of lore regarding this character I would like to mention is that Sin Kiske is the son of Ky Kiske and despite how he looks he is only 5 years old (his mother Dizzy is a gear and his father is a human so Sin ages like a gear physically but developmentally he is still a child) you were spot on with your interpretation of the song on turning negatives into positives and having an optimistic outlook on things
It's weird that Sin is still so childlike though. Because Dizzy is currently 10 I think, so she should have been the same age as Sin when her and Ky got together. I just assume Sin's mental aging was slowed down because of Sol taking care of him for so long 😭
@@kaytosh5735 Oh yeah true that could also be the case, maybe cause Dizzy is fully a gear and Sin half she developed faster? Either way you shouldn't think too much about GG lore in general lmao, just go with the flow
@@gekuul9616 I always thought of it as more of a, "He's 5 in years, but that doesn't reflect fully on his mental age." He clearly isn't just learning his ABCs, as someone of that age would. IMO, he's 5 in world experience and age, but not physical or mental age. Definitely doesn't know everything someone who would match his physical age of late teens early 20s would know; he is a child by experience. Dizzy is more mature from having a lot more experience in seeing the world, and has literally double the amount of years on Sin. I imagine it's similar to comparing someone who's 18 and 35, one is just learning the world beyond their microcosm, and the other has experienced much, even though there is very little in physical/medical proof about them being far apart in the brain's makeup.

Yeah Sin is the son of Ky Kiske whos theme you've already heard The Roar of the Spark. His mother is Dizzy who is the daughter of Justice, the Gear that went to war against humanity for a hundred years, and who also happens to be made from the soul of Sol Badguys terminally ill lover. Sin was also raised by Sol, Ky gave him to Sol because the Conclave was using Ky's new family to blackmail him into becoming a puppet king, and Sin would not be safe in the castle. The way Sin inherits the traits of all the people in his life is part of what makes him really interesting. He most obviously has his mothers sweet, kind spirit, but he's also tough and rugged like Sol. For awhile Sin really hated Ky because he thought Ky didn't care about him but they've reconciled, and he exhibits the same unfaltering sense of justice as his dad. In gameplay a lot of his moves are similar to Ky and Sols moves. He most notably has Sols super called Tyrant Rave (big fire punch, except its lightning for Sin cuz he uses lightning magic), he has Ky's super Ride the Lightning too (but instead of just one big tackle it's three shorter tackles that chain together). His Elk Hunt is similar to Ky's Stun Dipper, and his Hoof Stomp looks visually similar to Ky's Foudre Arc, but mechanically acts more similarly to Ky's Greed Sever from the older games. He also has an invincible uppercut just like both Ky and Sol. Also, the last part of the guitar solo in this song, plays Ky's XX theme in one ear, and Dizzys XX theme in the other. Probably my favorite motif usage in Strive, the other one that really gets me is the usage of Marionette in Extras, but yeah. Sin is one of my favorite characters, his existence feels like it's the culmination of the whole journey of this games story. He's the end result, he's the future. He's actually gonna be the main protagonist for the upcoming Guilty Gear anime which is really exciting. Btw, speaking of Dizzy, she's coming to Strive at the end of the month so there's gonna be a new theme added to that list in a few weeks. I'm sure it'll be peak her older themes are also amazing, and I'm so excited to hear what Daisuke has cooked up lyrically for her. I made a favorite characters tierlist a few months ago that included a sorted top 10, and Dizzy and Sin ended up being 2nd and 3rd respectively (Bridget was 1st lol) so I am hyped.
Sin's theme is very straightforward composition wise, and that's not cause Daisuke wanted to take a break from complex stuff, it is because sin is as dumb and pure as a rock and a complex theme would stand against everything he is
Hellyea, this one worked out
Yeah, you nailed it, Sin is a very optimistic 5 year old.

Just Lean is the last character theme, right? The rest are credits or story mode songs?
@@melon3109 Yes, just lean would be the last character theme until the new dlc character themes are released
