Me before these breakdowns: "Always heard GG lore is impenetrable anime nonsense, but I'll take a look"
After final breakdown: "Ram gets to eat more burgers" *cries
Sol‘s deadly fear of becoming Ky’s father in-law is a treasure.
That scene had me rolling on the floor for 5 straight minutes. Honestly, though, I think Dizzy would have the biggest reaction to it (As Sol nearly killed her in GGX).
@@AceTrainerX3 Sol tried to kill her, talk shit to her and one time call her a bitch. Of course this is awkward to him, now he's look like shitty father ever but other hand he's the best granpa ever in same time.
@@theboihilbirt1277 guess this what Sol won't talk about with Aria then.
More like _daddly_ fear 😏
@@HermitMongoose *chucks a tomato
a 200 year old kind of dragon man, a 6 year old kind of half dragon manlet, an incomplete weaponized construct of a centuries dead woman and a (likely) catholic frenchman all board a flying pirate ship and talk about the ridiculous fuckery that is their family tree
I. Love. Guilty Gear.
@@Meta_Break yes
he called his own son "Sin" because he was concieved by a gear. That man is a bigger catholic than todays pope lol
I love this
With the pirate that’s pretty much followed on IG by almost every world leader
Bedman is such an incredible character. Meaning I can't believe they actually came up with a character called Bedman and played it straight the whole way
what does this mean whut
@@toucan4075 He looks dumb
@@toucan4075 It means they managed to make a character such as Bedman, who fights while sleeping in a demonic bed-robot(!), an actual threat to the characters
Hideo Kojima ass naming scheme
@@Razerfish930 badass naming scheme
Still in awe that Chipp is literally the smartest character, my man is like 10 steps ahead of everyone else.
Intelligence: 0
Wiseness: M A X
He fulfill his role as a ninja. A master in gathering intel.
Chip is an astonishingly based character. A honest to God fantastic ninja, a genuinely kind and caring man, and ***the PRESIDENT of a KINGDOM***
@@bradleywindham4927 If only a slight breeze didn't reduce him to dust.
@@bradleywindham4927 he used to be (red) pilled af too
Biggest plot twist in GG altogether;
Just about everyone turns out to be the good guy.
My brain still hurts overthinking Sol's family tree...
Except Happy Chaos
Honestly that’s something I really found quite fucking intriguing. (outside of Happy Chaos in Strive) Going into this I had a clue of who the “bad” guys were but they all ended being just ppl who made rough mistakes and are looking for their own atonement or conclusion. That or they were simply victims to the formulas at which they were created for. Its pretty awesome
The man literally named "sol badguy" is actually a good guy
@@shagoremagala Even I-no, who is like, the most overtly evil character in the franchise is kinda understandable.
can't harm mankind if you don't consider humans to be humans
*taps head*
sounds like some SS13 ai logic
Sounds like Military, religion and racism in a nutshell.
"Mankind knew they couldn't change society..."
I reject your humanity and substitute my own
Modern problems require modern solutions
@@firepuppies4086 I disagree with the religion part, but whatever
Ky: I can't fight you seriously. That's for monsters.
Sol: Your wife's a monster too.
Ky: I see, you've chosen death.
Sol Badguy is really the shitty father the all times.
@@theboihilbirt1277 also a bad husband, he kills his wifes three times now
Insult the waifu, you forfeit your lifeu
And your mother in law, and your four sisters (one of which is deceased), and your son-
God that felt good.
Ky taking Sol outside when he learns about Jack-O/Aria and asking him to stay outside, offering to stay with him is the ultimate Ky moment. He’s literally the *goodest boy*
The bromance is the best !!
Ky is the sigma male to Sol's chadness.. love them
Ky and Asuka are his wingmen
@@firepuppies4086 asuka is just a man desperate to make his OTP real. I can't hold him accountable for crimes.
Ariels really said "we live in a society"
While wearing joker makeup even.
@@kingofthemoon3063 you mean juggalo makeup surely
@@VZLANemesis True. She's not real joker. Those who have seen the Strive story mode already know that Happy Chaos is the real joker.
@@VZLANemesis I think it's more like Ghost makeup. The band.
@@wowwhatacleverandoriginaln9416 also Happy Chaos genuinely wants Humanity to win.
"GIVE EM HELL BOSS"
"You're damn right I will, Axl low! THE FIRST ROUNDS ON ME!"
I love this game writing for Sol.
Every time Ky and Sol have to confront their family tree, is some of the best shit I've ever seen.
What a mess
I can not hear "mankind" whithout following up "knew that they cannot change society"
45:50
"Take a good long look sin, That Man's face is going to get slightly redesigned."
I only now just realised that in Xrd his eye wasn't covered by a frail wing, it was a wilted flower.
@@shun-li8204 and cat ears gone
@@The_WIll_OF_D99
Pain...
Loss...
No more cat boy Asuka
Damn, Axl telling Sol,
“Give him hell, boss”
It brings a tear to my eye every time
ESPECIALLY after saying he couldn’t abandon this world because he wouldn’t be the man Megumi deserves otherwise.
What a bro
He's a damn chad!
I love that Ky has an honorable duel-with-an-equal mode, and a dirty kill-the-enemy mode, and that his switch to dirty is triggered by someone insulting his wife.
"Insult my wife, forfeit your life."
Now that this is done, Woolie can rest his back from carrying all this lore to us.
Thanks dude!
Until he does a video summarizing Strive's plot anyway!
@@XiaNaphryz if they pay him for it
the dear hunter fans rise up!
@@XiaNaphryz Though funny, Woolie has said that the point was to set up strive. The king can finally sleep
@Eric Boone so is chaos the robot or the original and how the hell did he end up inside arials.
Weeks ago: Hahah lol what is this throwaway reference to Robo Ky, who cares.
In the Present Day: I'M CRYING MY EYES OUT BECAUSE ROBO KY PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE AT THE VERY END AND NOW GETS TO LIVE OUT A SLICE OF LIFE AU WITH VENOM
12:40 Important lore detail: Jack-O is the side of Aria turned on by science talk
Alright, I'd like a show of hands. Who here would watch a slice of life anime about the Kiske-Badguy weird extended family and what they do when no video game worthy plots are happening?

Count me in! 🖐️
They can go down to Venom’s bakery sometimes.
Raven's story conclusion with Asuka will always be one of my favorite moments in all of Guilty Gear. Waiting for birbman to one day come to Strive!
There's something fascinating about immortal characters like Raven. That topic is not explored often enough.
Syncing up the last chorus of Sky Should Be High to Asuka's face reveal is fucking ace stuff
Throw me it was Till Next Time in the End the Best Credits Theme from Guilty Gear XX Reload Midnight Carnival!!!
41:33 Axl Low is now one of my favourite GG characters. What a fucking boss. The only good zoner.
Ky and Sol realizing they are in laws will always be funny.
Sol's eyes killed me. That's the look of someone who doesn't wanna be there right now.
Imagine you fight a dude constantly for like a decade, then become best friends and then after like 30 years you realise you married his daughter and that he's your father in law
don't know bro I'd be that shocked too
@@Damian-ov6sz On top of that you also told him to raise his grandson.
Robo-Ky makes me cry every time. Underdog, hated, yet "never laugh at someone else's dream. Words from the wise." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Robo-Ky still has one of my favorite moments in XRD, now heres hoping he makes his way into Strive later down the line
They said one of the DLC characters would be a returning character so who knows
Yes, but that is only season 1. We don't know about Seasons 2 and 3 so who knows
@Leith Aziz PAGY all 3 of the characters after the "newcomer" are all returning characters.
Robo-Ky is retired with Venom in their bakery tho.
Ram wondering if she has to call Sol daddy after remembering that time he chokeslammed her in xrd is a top 10 moment
Ram realizing she almost killed herself and her father/brother (depending on how you consider the Valentine's relation to Aria) with her suicide attempt:
58:20 so nice of that crater to form a candid-conversation rock for ky to sit on
I can't believe i watched hours of lore and the final boss ended being a clown with ideals fit to match her face paint.
She literally said "we live in a society" too, I can't even...
“No time to explain! But we need to kill the Joker-Pope!”
I've been talking about based Joker Pope being the actual villain of Guilty Gear for forever and no one knew what I was talking about since she's exclusive to the story mode.
Was kinda disappointed, not gonna lie.. THE UNIVERSAL WILL, THE DEVIL IS A C L O W N smh I can't 😩
@@troggdorthesecond we can’t forget about strives villain, the ADHD Disney Princess With a Gun
Ky and Sol's reaction to... you-know-what 31:47 is always fucking priceless.
Sol didn't even let Ky finish his fucking sentence he didn't want to hear the truth so bad.
Maybe now he actually gets to play Guilty Gear.
I was so glad they gave Venom his moment in this story. And his extra story is a bit heartwarming too
For a fighting game, the characters end up teaming up more often than they do fighting with each other, huh? Not that I’m complaining, its dope as hell. Guess that’s why the story mode is all cutscenes, it would be a bit boring to just fight bedman as every member of the cast.
It helps that most of the GG games aren't predicated on some sort of tournament or some linear good vs bad setup, just various characters with various personalities with various desires and plans.
Yeah compared to Blazblue which has some absolute shitheads in the playable cast, just total bastard folks, Guilty Gear's cast is mostly pretty amicable.
@@31Moth13 Example being RELIUS.
@@31Moth13 To be honest most the Blazblue cast is composed from really awful people, like, Taokaka and Makoto are the least awful of them and they are literally a cat and a squirrel.
@@philipearakaki I mean, Bang is nice, if a bit of a goofball. (Edit) I suppose Litchi could also count, other then the whole "giving Arakune a bit too much slack because he kinda used to be her lover before be was turned into goop by the Blazblue Backyard", Mai also counts, and i suppose Kokonoe could also count, not wanting the NOL to be a borderline dictatorship and all, but, then again, she was the highest ranked criminal in the world, though, its not entirely clear whether she did something actually terrible, or she just ran Sector Seven. Oh, and Celica. And maybe Naoto.
God the scene where Ram comes back with Raven with Six Black Heavens Guns playing in the back hyped me up so much even with the narration.
Okay so.... why is venom opening a bakery with robo ky so cute. Like, am I nuts or does that sound like a thing that happens to couples at the end of fairy tales. whising the best for em but like at this point I'm not gonna be surprised if they're married in the next game
It’s the most wholesome GG ending any character ever has and I pray we have Baker Venom as DLC with Roboky head as an assist.
If you wanted you could buy chocolates from them. They sell them in our dimension.
I played Venom since Reload. ...Don't ruin his happy ending. Let 'em rest.
Putting in Holy Orders near the end with Ky and Sol was godlike.
I can finally "play" strive's story mode
21:24 that's the most badass duo in GG history
48:56 not even woolie can say that with a straight face. (Or in this case a straight voice)
Best parts:
Sol and Ky realization( about their family ties )🤣
Axl Bro moment for Sol 😭
Sol saving what is left of Aria ( Jack-O 🥺)
That Axl moment and Sol sayign he will get the first round 'Chefs kiss' especially after the last chat and sol 'not having the time'
The Axl moment is sooo gooood
I never played Guilty Gear, but I got interested in its lore after a few friends were talking about. I really enjoyed how it started with "let's throw everything that we feel it's cool" and then takes it to last consequences, up to questions of "what being a human means? what are dreams?" in a way that's actually fun to follow, and trading punches.
Really put in the pudding story too. Madlad.
You know how people will like, look at a series and say something like “remember when this was something cute and simple?” Like naruto fans will say “Remember when this was about ninjas?”
That doesn’t work for guilty gear. It’s “remember when this was about a soldier from the Holy Roman Empire fighting in the robo crusades with a femboy who killed people with a yo-yo?”
Well, it turns out the pope was a clown in that femboy is a trans girl now!
It's so funny that the thing that scares the shit out of both Ky and Sol is recognizing how they're related(Given the ties are a bit messed up).
53:57 Stick Sol and Fake/New? Aria in there somewhere and you technically have a family photo.
Didn't think I would binge a seven part Guilty Gear lore series just because of the Jack-O' pose trend .... fuckn hell.
*Good*
The edits makes this so much fucking better holy shitttt. There’s a lot of notable parts where the edited music makes the scene so much better but I love 42:22 specifically
33:27 too lmao
I can't believe the man who discovered magic in the guilty gear universe also decided to come up with the human instrumentality project
Woolie deserves to be inserted into GG as a character, or at least his likeness. His character should be a historian of World of Guilty Gear, an expert in the field who can see patterns in each conflict, knows every significant figure of The Crusades and Beyond by name, and teaches other historians just how dangerous history - and repetition of it - can be.
*Woolie for Strive.*
what do you mean? woolie's already in strive as nagoryuki /hj
twitter.com/WoolieWoolz/status/1158192976905981954
I think a nice homage would be a purple and green nago skin
@@sunnythedrunk Woolie mod pls
Oh, you mean the final boss in Strive?
Woolie would be a great guest on (spoilers)
Asukas radio show lol
At 58:11 my man Ky really went all out on Sol, using the powerful pocket sand technique!
Not just that, Ky used Sol's pocket sand!
@@RippahRooJizah Thought the sand was from Ky's sword.
Dale Gribble would be proud.
@@ArcCaravan I though he knocked Sol's teeth out then grabbed them and threw them back in his face
@@Americanbadashh Didn't look like Sol lost teeth there. Figured it was Ky's similarly colored pommel.
Gabriel needs to be a playable character. Too bad ass not to be.
i dunno fi i missed it but is Gabriel a Vampire or just has serious 'tude and history with Slayer?
I've been saying this for years.
@@PasticheofSkin gabriel is slayer's brother i think
@@PasticheofSkin we don't know for sure, all we know is that he is someone that Slayer holds in high regards and sees him as a rival or sorts.
That was a pretty good movie, I didnt realize the boss of Xrd was a female version of devil may cry 4 final boss. Im digging the lore, its better than most animes Ive seen lately. Now Im fully invested in Strive. I hope Sin comes back.
Yes, I love Ky. Yes, I think he’s the rawest character in the franchise.
He’s so raw that Sol is scared of him.
Now that’s a TRUE badass right there.
Congrats on finishing it! Even as a person who went through most GG lore already, this made a lot of things a whole lot clearer lol.
This was an awesome series. I recently got GGST and a friend recommended I check out this series to get caught up and I’m glad I did. I absolutely love the story and characters in these games now. Thanks for doing such a good job!
Damn Venom became a baker!?
Dude looks sharp in whatever he wears too....
The main reason that I'm playing Strive now is because Wollie put in all the work this past year to pull back the curtain of the glorious work that is Guilty Gear. Thank you for an amazing series. It's stuff like this that makes me happy for well made/edited long form content.
Fucking same. Thanks to woolie i really wanna get a copy of GG strive.
Although imma wait till the abundance of DLC come out
5 hours later and still feel that I would still score 0% on a GG Trivia quiz.
First off, congrats on finishing this compilation.
Second, I am impressed. For a series that has spanned as long as it has with such complicated lore it manages to stick the landing dancing on the edge of over-contrived bullshit. Where lesser stories would've fallen off the edge a long time ago.
And I can honestly say there wasn't a single character I disliked given you can connect with them in one way or another.
Bravo Arcsys and whoever has to be lorekeeper in your office.
I’m glad we finally got to the most vital part of Guilty Gear Lore…
After Story C
The fact that Robo Ky went from a joke character to getting actual character growth is more impressive than it should be
Great Job on finishing this whole series Woolie! Thank you very much.
I don't know if it's just me, but seeing Elphelt and Ramlethal hug each other like that after Elphelt gets yeeted was so damn cute
after seeing all of this then going to see the strive story all i can say now in woolies words is
"im in"
Dude i bought the entire collection of GG cause of this videos, right now im playing Strive with a friend. Keep getting people into fighting games Woolie, cause you do a great work
Aw yeah was hoping Woolie would get Six Black Heaven's Guns in there somewhere
Saved it for when the six black heaven's guns are literally on screen.
@@WoolieVersus "wait what does he mea- OOOOH SHIIII-"
@@fenrirlives2226 Im a little dumb is it Saint oratorio?
@@TimeFro it’s the collider cannons
Man, the explanation for the motivation of the universal will is great, just awesome.
Imagine, some obscure fighting game having better 3d animations as an anime than Berserk.
:(
Wait, OBSCURE?!
Did you just call Guilty Gear obscure?
Of course you had to finish the series off with the duel. It's absolutely brilliant. Amazing job, Woolie!
Biggest Casualty of Strive: Asuka's kitty cat ears
We can hope for a catboy dragon install
Axl stopping time and that entire exchange with Sol is one of my favourite moments in the series. I’m so glad I picked up Xrd Rev 2 to catch up for myself before Strive released. Thanks for these recaps Woolie, I don’t think it can be said enough how much you have done for people hoping to get into Strive’s story.
Man, no wonder Strive's story arcs from an outsider's perspective always felt like 'self care: the video game'. I'd say the entire cast needed a good time for therapy after even a fraction of what happened in Xrd, not counting the entire rest of it!
Thank you Woolie and Arc System Works for this great series of videos and games.
I didn't know anything about these characters before starting these videos, yet Raven and Asuka's last conversation together coupled with that music brought me to tears. Amazing work on these man, you got me 100% invested in this world
Great series! I'm not much of a fighting game player myself, so while I'd heard of Guilty Gear I didn't know much about. I certainly didn't think it had lore as deep as all this, and these videos did a fantastic job of capturing both character and story beats for the uninitiated like myself.
I doubt I'll play Strive so would love to see a follow up to this at some point, though since Arc System sponsored this as an ad for Strive I can't imagine they would want for its story to be similarly summarized without playing the game. Still, props for a well made series and here's hoping for a follow up one day!
You did it Woolie! Thank you for getting me into this bizarre mess of a story
"My world existed in a box of freedom that was handed to me." Such a fucking great line
I 1000% care about all these characters now, I love that their stories converged in such a fun way.
Hell yeah I'm down for two hours of lore for a fighting game I don't play, and now I have favorite characters for it too!
Robo KY and best friend venom being bakers makes me so otherworldly happy and made my day. My only question is whens strive lore?!
Won't be for a while, if at all. Strive is too new, and all stories related to it are as of yet not completed.
The purpose of this series was to catch everyone up to Strive. You’re gonna have to buy the game for that.
You can watch strives story for free on RUclips.
That point in "Should be high" from Axl's last shout to Sol to Jack-o's smile, legit that scene gets me so good. Woolie, you made that scene a-fucking-mazing
Holy SHEEITT, this story is sooo good!!! Why isnt there an anime or a movie trilogy!!
Thank you for doing these series.
Since I was a kid I've wanted to know guilty gear's story. I didn't even knew English back then. I'm now in my thirties and super glad I could watch these videos from start to finish.
You rock!
Eu também amigo, e só fui descobrir esta playlist recentemente.
woolie did so good keeping a straight face for the entire series.......... right up until the dude hit Zappa's epilogue
Thank you Woolie for bringing all this lore together, this has been one hell of a serie ! Outstanding work
This has been absolutely monumental. Thanks, Woolie!
The fate of mankind, mind bending phylosophical questions and epic battles....next to super awkward conversations about your family relations and jet powered flatulance after eating pudding. Only in Guilty Gear, folks.
Also it took like five games for Baiken to do something of note and she was pretty much just supporting role. Doing my girl dirty.
The Zappa Afterstory deserved more love, that shit was hilarious
Im really glad you included the whacky hijinks of King Daryl and the Missing Pudding
I NEVER THOUGHT GUILTY GEAR WOULD GET THIS GOOD (I’m new to guilty gear so yeah) I love all your guilty gear lore videos
Just sat down and binged all 7 vids i want to thank you so much for this.
Im now into GG lore that was a fun story to watch.
Robo-Ky showcases how to hide yourself while repairing yourself.
Using NO MERCY in the Final Confrontation between Ky and Sol - was just perfect - then HOLY ORDERS when Ky goes all out and finally summing it up with the BEST CREDITS THEME IN GAMING: TILL NEXT TIME from Guilty Gear XX - was an awesome touch. Love the GG XX Soundtrack!!! 💙👍👏
Thank you so much for uncluding Zappa's epilogue!
How come Gabriel ain’t a fighter, with everything from the story mode I think he could work great at one.
Sol calls himself a monster
Ky: moderate anger
Sol calls Dizzy (his daughter) a monster
Ky: take back what you said about my fucking wife
58:08 *Holy Hell* serious Ky is a *_fucking badass_*
Thank you woolie, your way of telling the GG history got me more at the franchise, and turned the lore more easy to understand.
Thanks for the amazing Lore videos!!!!
well f... that was a ride. Thanks a ton for this Woolie, it was great!
And with that I can play Strive. Maybe you don’t read all these but I want you to know I learned a lot; even was surprised with what this story had to offer! I always heard the memes and I guess I thought that was the story. Man was I wrong~
You got a sub outta me due to your passion and detail alone! Keep it up, and keep fighting to win.
Thanks for making this amazing series.
I've never been a guilty gear fan, nor played any of the games, but someone recommended I watch this.
I now play Strive every day and love all the characters because of this series.
Hey Woolie, I wanted to thank you for making the lore so digestible and available, without you I wouldn't have known the details on some of my new fav characters in gaming like Zato.
I picked up Strive, my first fighting game in over a decade, and I am maining Zato in large part because of his story, which I would not know or appreciate in as much detail without you.
If I didn't know his story when I heard Let Me Carve Your Way, I may not have picked up the game, that song has so much emotion if you understand it, so really, thanks for helping me understand.
You are doing god's work man, god bless and keep up the top tier content, it's greatly appreciated. 🙏
