History WMG / GuiltyGear

In the ''XX Accent Core Plus'' story mode, it's shown that Justice shows great hostility towards Baiken, saying that she should have perished alongside with all the other Japanese during Japan's destruction at hands of the Gears. There's a possibility that Justice targeted the Japanese for extinction not so much for their avid use of Ki and their spiritual lifestyle but rather because of a personal vendetta against them. It's possible that Aria might have been an immortal and born in the early of the 1900s and became distraught over the loss of a possible relative of her (like her father or brother) at the hands of the Japanese during the Pearl Harbor attack, causing her to swear vengeance against them and would do so by means of killing every single of them to avenge the loss of her family member(s). Being a female, however, she could not be enrolled into the United States military as an active combatant (during that time, only men could enter in the military as an active combatant. Women were limited to producing munitions and war supplies.). As the years went on after the war ended, her vendetta against the Japanese subsided and almost became nonexistent by the time she was with Frederick. However, when she got converted into a Gear by That Man, her long-forgotten vendetta against the Japanese rekindled and flared up, causing her to enact her vengeance upon them and instigate the hundred-year Crusades, which led to the near-extinction of the Japanese people and their culture.

And the worst part? He's not aware, but subconsciously ''knows this'' and is a {{DeathSeeker}} as a result. Ever notice how, when hit with an Instant Kill in Xrd, he's either content or smiling? He may know what happened to Lotte and is seeking out Millia [[ICannotSelfTerminate because she has the motive to kill him]].

...Mostly, though, just imagine how metal a crossover would be.

[[WMG:In the next installment of the series, ReubenLangdon will be called on-board to voice the announcer.]]

While Ishiwatari has pretty much relinquished his voicing duties to JojiNakata, it just wouldn't feel right to not have him involved in some capacity, especially when you consider that Ishiwatari has never actually voiced Sol in any of the drama [=CDs=], the Story Modes of both ''XX'' and ''AC+'', or ''Overture''; he's only voiced Sol in-battle (and ''Xrd'' is back to being a fighter), so what would really change?

** So, [[TomokazuSugita in Japanese]], That Man is [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Ragna the Bloodedge]]? All jokes aside, if Sin ''was'' That Man, that also means he'd be responsible for the Crusades and would be the biggest enemy of Sol, his father figure. Raging OedipusComplex or not, why would Sin go back in time to orchestrate a horrific event that he has to live in the fallout of? Plus, Sin is dumb as a rock whereas That Man was a scientist and one of the three spearheads of the Gear Project. On top of this, while That Man regards Dizzy favorably, you'd think that, if he was Sin and as all-powerful as he is, he would've found a way to release Dizzy from stasis (or at least provided some tips to Dr. Paradigm and Ky, who were working to reverse Dizzy's condition), but instead is more concerned with helping Sol stop the threat presented by Valentine and the Vizuel. Never mind the theory that That Man might be Dizzy's father, which would be immensely {{squick}}y in light of this one.

Note the preponderance of all things metal, the presence of magic, and ''Guilty Gear 2's'' use of group battles. The Backyard could be the relics of the Age of Metal, with Guilty Gear's utilization of magic via the Twelve Steps being similar to Brutal Legend's solos and combat techniques. Soulsinkers/Masterghosts, Capture Units, and Servants are pretty obviously rediscoveries of and refinements to the techniques Eddie pioneered for stage battles.

Daisuke Ishiwatari was [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisuke_Ishiwatari born in South Africa,]] and either spent his childhood during these events, or if he and his family moved to Japan shortly after his birth, he was interested in the place where he was born. Either way, it influenced him when he was writing ''GG''[='s=] story.

** Also, Sol's last name (assuming it really isn't Badguy) when he was still human has never been revealed. He's only been referred to as Frederick, so his surname (at the moment, at last) certainly isn't Mars.

** [[spoiler: Hinted to be true in 10th Memorial Book, except replace Dizzy with Sin, with Dixxy being the one doing the egg-laying.]]

* Putting aside Dizzy's birth and genetic material, the following hints that Sol may be her father, at least he seems to act like one towards her
** Both have a superpowered mode resembling a dragon which uses fire and leaves them drained afterwards. Note after that mode both of them drops to their knees and hold their heads
** In Sol's story mode in GGX, That Man says Dizzy is another reason why Sol would kill him
** Sol does seem to care about Dizzy's well-being by entrusting her to Testament and also convincing him to let her be with the Jellyfish Pirates

[[WMG: Dizzy is a remnant of Justice from the Backyard.]]

[[WMG: Faust and Dr. Baldhead are the same person.]]

** Ky's stage in the loketest looks like a castle garden and his Servants can be seen at the background. They cheer if he wins the match.

* Ky's official short story in ''Overture'' clearly states that he proposed to her, but cannot marry her because of certain issues (possibly legal, political or racial.) Instead, they "married" themselves.

* Perhaps I jumped the gun with this one. Apparently, that's not the Thunderseal Ky's seen with, but a nigh-identical weapon meant to resemble it known as Magnolia Eclair II ([[{{Retcon}} apparently, Aquila was the first Magnolia Eclair]]). That doesn't necessarily rule out the rest of the theory and there's a possibility that, even if Ky did save Dizzy, the Thunderseal was lost forever since Ky had no idea what was going when he saved Dizzy in the first place.

* This could be true with an added intention: Ky realized that being a King would make him suspectible to the PWAB's manipulation. To make himself more flexible in pursuing his justice, he had those happen, his position stripped, so the PWAB can't manipulate him anymore.

Notice that in ''Xrd'' (which is set a year after ''Overture''), Ky is not wielding Aquila, but the Thunderseal, which disappeared when he unwittingly froze Dizzy in time to prevent her sublimation. He's also ditched his more royal vestments for a modified version of his Holy Knights uniform. It's possible that revealing the existence of his half-Gear lover, their part-Gear son, and all of the Gears formerly imprisoned in Illyria caused some sort of backlash among the people and/or the government that forced Ky to renounce his title as king.

** Jossed. ASW is making GG Xrd -SIGN-

Just getting this one out there for the sake of covering untouched ground.
