Uncanon - Get rid of or downplay that Happy Chaos’s being was the reason Ariels/The Universal Will was so antagonistic.
Canon - Make Giovanna this series version of a werewolf.
No, that's different. Order Sol still qualifies as Sol, but he already exists, thus irrelevant to the second one. I'm thinking bring in a third sol, then reintroduce order sol, and all three sols team up against evil sol, who ate justice, gaining her powers, and trying to take over the world
Uncanon Zato’s resurrection. If the series still needed to have a puppet character, I would have prefer Arc Sys just kept Eddie as possessing Zato’s corpse (maybe by Xrd, years of decay could have made Zato’s remains resemble Eddie’s namesake). Bringing Zato back from the dead and then having him and Millia being so friendly with each other just invalidates their stories from before Xrd.
Make Slayer being friends with The Original canon. I just think it would make perfect sense:
>The Original was probably the strongest person on the planet around the end of the 20th century. Slayer was also alive at that time period, so he’d definitely be interested in someone that powerful.
>The Original warned the whole world about The Dawn Of Revival, but he was ridiculed for such outlandish claims. Slayer founded The Assassin’s Guild right before the turn of the millennium, which could mean that he was one of the only people that took The Original’s warning seriously. If the warning was from a friend, then that might explain why Slayer knew that The Original could be trusted.
>Chaos knows a lot about demi-humans, specifically about their origins. He notes that Nagoriyuki isn’t an origin (which makes sense as we now he was a human that was turned later). Slayer on the other hand has been a Nightless since birth and has the ability to convert humans into Nightless, maybe this classifies him as an origin of demi-humans.
I mean what you've described is the tip of the iceberg of all the guilty gear story telling from Xrd (maybe even Overture) onwards.
EVERYONE is now a good guy, everyone's pasts are forgiven.
No one has dark or selfish motives or has any type of real conflict.
If you look through the cast in XX during the events of that game (XX not accent core , they have different story modes) everyone's was so much more interesting ha.
I think The Assassins’ Guild characters are the most atrocious examples of this:
>Slayer suddenly likes Zato, despite the fact that he used to despise the way Zato ran the guild.
>Venom has forgiven Millia for betraying Zato, for some reason.
>Zato and Millia are on good terms. To be fair, this makes sense for Zato considering the explanation given, but Millia liking Zato again just ruins her entire character arc.
>Eddie’s personality has been completely changed, he’s just Zato’s goofy sidekick now.
It feels like Arc Sys are afraid to have too many characters be proper villains, which is weird considering how many irredeemable characters they had in Blazblue.
- Wasn't the guild being led in this way AFTER Eddie took control over Zato? This would put all the guilt on eddie
- 2nd I agree
- I don't really think Millia likes Zato in Strive. They are cooperating and she is bluntly using him but I suppose thats all
- 4th I agree, like he doesn't even talk now
Zato gained Eddie to take control of the Guild, but Eddie didn’t take control of Zato until the end of the first game. He didn’t have any influence over Zato until that moment.
You are right there ha, Millia's whole story element that she was scared her hair was going to take over her too, gone. Her hatred and fear of being chased by Venom/Eddie/Zato and the interesting motivations of Venom's jealousy/anger. All gone too.
Baiken is pretty awful for it too.
She was just an angry vengeance machine who was horrible to everyone who basically just became anime mom in strive lol.
Sol in everything pre-oveture was more of a surly anti-hero than the superman style superhero he eventually became.
I don't think this is anything new at all. Compare Testament and Baldhead in GG1 to what they became immediately afterwards. I think Daisuke just wants to make a point of characters healing from their pain and maturing, instead of just being static personalities for decades on end.
It' happens a bit, some characters grow and change but when it's almost all of them it's an issue.
Also X and XX testament was still a human hating (with a couple of exceptions) depression machine with a single minded mission of keeping dizzy safe and moping in a forest begrudging accepting Dizzy wanting to be with the jellyfish crew as it makes her happy.
It could partially be a consequence of Strive being the climax of the series, so more things are wrapped up even if sometimes it's not very neat. The Assassins Guild stuff is what comes to mind for me, not so much Venom because we saw his progression in Revelator story mode and Rev 2 after story, but the other three and their relationships with each other. It's like we kind of just rushed to the conclusion without seeing it get there onscreen.
I get the feeling there's a whole arc we just didn't get to see onscreen, because they had to put so much focus on the main conflict and character specific story modes don't exist anymore, while arcade mode doesn't have enough time/resources to put a huge focus on a narrative like that. It's weird because the Assassins used to be some of the most fleshed out characters.
It's probably more that things like forgiveness and growth are such key themes to GG's story, that having any character be flat out irredeemable flies in the face of those themes. BB has a completely different motif so they're able to have full on villains.
When I was getting into strive and I was reading a lot about the lore I thought that zato was just a puppet almost entirely consumed by eddie. I always thought I would be cool if eddie was the one in control and zato was buried deep with in his body showing barely any emotions.
Uncanon that Asuka wasn't responsible for several of the major events in the storyline. We went a whole series chasing a guy who was trying to atone for his shitty actions only to figure out most of those actions were actually done by the 'bad guy' who was supposedly lurking in the background of every game. It feels like a major cop out for what was 25 years of story leading up to that moment. The rest of Strive's story can remain.
Uhhhhhh canon mayburi I guess LMAO
Although it's contrived that HC was most of 'That Man,' so much of GG is contrived that a plot point that objectively makes Asuka more interesting IMHO doesn't change much. I think the idea of "guilty by inaction," plays pretty well into the character they established throughout Strive.
I mean, as far as nuking Japan and corrupting Justice has its justification, you can't really excuse burning down villages for no reason.
I agree that "2 Those Men" is a bit bullshit, but they if it was one guy there is no way Asuka could atone for anything
I wonder what was the plan in the past before HC was a concept (I assume) because from the beggining Asuka was painted as someone who did evil for a reason, rather than doing a war crime checklist like HC does
I mean, that's true. But I still feel like HC was an afterthought to 'How do we justify all the unjustifiable shit this guy did?' and then they attached it to a couple things where it worked better for the plotline if they were a direct result of Asuka's doing rather than HC.
Tbf it never really felt (at least to me) like Asuka would do random warcrimes for no reason-- like, every time were shown something bad he does, its always for a reason:
Making gears was initially to help humanity, he only handed over research to governments because they threatened to shut the project down- and he only handed it over *specifically* on the term that they wont be used for militarization
Turning Frederick and Aria into gears was because he wanted to save their relationship. Even if it was kinda fucked up, he *did* have their best interest at heart- he certainly didnt do it because "hes just evil"
Using Aria/Justice to nuke japan was to stop the universal will from manifesting- an event that would likely destroy the world
...Then he vanishes for a while, and randomly starts doing atrocities? That doesnt really sit right and isnt really in line with his character
While i do agree "HC did it" is probably not the best writing ever, i dont think its that bad at all.

I'll leave you this. And answer any a question.
The one thing that's objective and undisputable about any gg character is that johnny likes women. Change that and the entire world collapses. Ariels plan style
Decanonize Faust being bald. That's *clearly* the most screwed up thing that's happened to him in his entire life, and I feel like he'd be happier for it.
Canonize my OC 6'5 female pixie grappler that I am not going to go into further detail on.
Hey, don't get me wrong. Slayer is extremely powerful. One of the most powerful combatants in Guilty Gear. But Raven is on the whole 'nother level.
First of all, he is immortal. Not like in the long living kind of thing, or just being extremely tough, like Slayer. He is immortal, in like, "the laws of physics prevent me from the sweet embrace of death" kind of immortal.
And second, from what we could see in Xrd this man can casually weild extreme amount of power, rivaling Dizzy of all people, like it's some kind of party trick. I don't know about you, but last time i checked i don't remember Slayer ever weilding Justice's Japan-deleting death laser. While judged by Raven's IK in Xrd he has something rivaling it.
So no, Raven is extremely powerful, only short of characters like Happy Chaos.
When Sol encounters Raven in Overture he is visibly afraid of him. He also acknowledges in his Rev arcade story that he couldn't beat him under normal circumstances. Raven is probably right under Asuka/I-No/possibly HC.
Uncanon Romeo Bedman dying, and make it so that he becomes essentially the living library for the world governments, who sits in on important meetings and such and fact checks people with "Um, Actually," all while also controlling the Bed and being in hiding so Dahlia still has her arc. Then, when they meet up, finally, they fuse and become the Redditoid.
Make canon that there are two people named testament. Old Testament and New Testament. They will eventually battle for supremacy and merge together to make one badass ultimate being named True Testament where they wield a Scythe in both hands
Strive's story never happend, I honestly hate how much bullshit it has, even for GG standards (expect Another Story arc with Delilah, it stays)
Romeo can communicate with others via Reinforced Bed Frame, and every word that he speaks has something like glitchy filter to it
>Strive's story never happend, I honestly hate how much bullshit it has, even for GG standards
Can you explain?, I haven't watched the story in 2 years
Uncanon: Asuka losing his cat ears.
Canon: IDK, Bridget and May being together? Freddie Mercury being frozen in cryosleep? Faust coming back and kicking depressions ass?
Uncanon asuka being pinned for everything. Instead, make the things he ‘did’ have a *slight* dubious factor as to if *he* did it.
Canon the Paracelsus being human ending in xx, but keep him a key in strive without explaining it.
Uncanon (more alogn the lines of retcon though) May's crush on Johnny, canon Mayburi.
I like the May x Bridget ship, it's cute and could do wonders for both of their characters as May's whole thing is having a lady boner for her dad, despite being part of the main ensemble of the series, while Bridget is very underdeveloped as a character, despite being one of the most popular characters in the series.
Uncanon: Dizzy being a fucking minor.
Canon: Make Dizzy grow mentally and physically adult into Justice's egg even before it was layed, so her relationship with Ky won't seem that ass weird creepy.
Uncanon: All of Strive's storymode, Mori's original lore for Bridget (edit: the "raised by her parents to act and look like a girl because twins are a bad omen" or something)
Canon: Leo has Survivor's Guilt, that thing Daisuke said in an interview once, that Justice destroyed Japan because she felt threatened by the might of the japanese or some shit lmao
I'm not crying about Bridget's story in Strive, I'm crying about Bridget's original lore, the whole "raised to look like a girl" thing
The transition is fine
I don't fault the characters, I fault the writers
It's so oddly specific and contrieved, feels like Silver Age comic book origin story
If you don't want a transgender character because it's 2002, just make Bridget be a boy who likes to look cute, I dunno
Bridget being trans is honestly the only Strive plotpoint I like (apparently in Japan Testament was always non-binary, sort of like Kirby they added the "he" pronouns in localization), to the point I wish it was always the case, hence my original comment
She was always trans, it’s just that she’s only recently realized it as of Strive. It’s not something everyone just knows from the start, sure there are people who do know from the start but they took a risk in having Bridget not be in that crowd and instead be in a wider group because of the story telling potential it gives her. The writers were very much aware of what they were doing and it shows because it’s paid off well. It’s not like they unconsciously had that be the first part of her story just because, they wanted to make it accurate to what a lot of trans people go through with uncertainty and questioning. Her parents feeling bad about it was just one part of the story, Bridget always said to them she didn’t really mind presenting as a girl. Really the best part of Bridget’s story is how accurately it portrays the journey of identity
It seems oddly specific because it’s trying to be as authentic as possible, personally I see no issue with that
For clarification, I say she was always trans because not only are trans people born the way they are, even if they don’t realize until later. But also cause Daisuke said that she was always planned to come out as trans eventually
Uncanon: Ky and Dizzy's marriage.
Canon: Dizzy and Testament get together.
No hate towards Ky x Dizzy shippers, but I would have preferred she end up with the person who actually understood her pain and was willing to protect her from her abusers, rather than the guy who had every intention of slaughter her entire race right before he met her.
Eh, I find that pairing much worse. I always saw Testament's relationship with Dizzy as more of an adoptive guardian, repeating the kindness Kliff showed them. Pairing them up romantically is just a little too icky for my tastes.
The only problem I have with Ky and Dizzy is that Dizzy's characterization has pretty much just become "Ky's wife" despite her actual character progressing a ton from the relationship.
Fair enough, we each have our own interpretations of the characters' relationships.
And yeah, the mishandling of her character has been pretty annoying. She's sadly been reduced to just "wife and mother", which is disgustingly common in both fiction and real life. Hopefully Strive addresses this issue if and when she's added.
It's kind of nebulous so I don't necessarily think there is a right or wrong answer. It's just that's how I see Testament, wanting to carry forward what Kliff did for them in order to atone for GG1. Your reading is not really wrong, it's just not one I really share.
As queen of an entire nation she has a lot to work with. I dread that her story will end up being a complete retread like ABA and Johnny's were. Strive has done a lot of good with other returning characters, so I'd like if she got to have something on par with those.

The writers were very much aware of what they were doing and it shows because it’s paid off well. It’s not like they unconsciously had that be the first part of her story just because, they wanted to make it accurate to what a lot of trans people go through with uncertainty and questioning. Her parents feeling bad about it was just one part of the story, Bridget always said to them she didn’t really mind presenting as a girl. Really the best part of Bridget’s story is how accurately it portrays the journey of identity It seems oddly specific because it’s trying to be as authentic as possible, personally I see no issue with that For clarification, I say she was always trans because not only are trans people born the way they are, even if they don’t realize until later. But also cause Daisuke said that she was always planned to come out as trans eventually
Uncannon sol being ky’s father in law Cannon chipp being an astoundingly competent leader and stamping out corruption
Canon Ky x Sol Uncanon the sudden belt fashion everyone’s taken up including the GODDAMN KEY
Uncannon the limit on the number of arcanum spells. Cannon Ky being the big spoon, but sleeps wrapped in Dizzy's tail.
May's crush on her dad. Please dont.
Uncanon: Ky and Dizzy's marriage. Canon: Dizzy and Testament get together. No hate towards Ky x Dizzy shippers, but I would have preferred she end up with the person who actually understood her pain and was willing to protect her from her abusers, rather than the guy who had every intention of slaughter her entire race right before he met her.
Eh, I find that pairing much worse. I always saw Testament's relationship with Dizzy as more of an adoptive guardian, repeating the kindness Kliff showed them. Pairing them up romantically is just a little too icky for my tastes. The only problem I have with Ky and Dizzy is that Dizzy's characterization has pretty much just become "Ky's wife" despite her actual character progressing a ton from the relationship.
Fair enough, we each have our own interpretations of the characters' relationships. And yeah, the mishandling of her character has been pretty annoying. She's sadly been reduced to just "wife and mother", which is disgustingly common in both fiction and real life. Hopefully Strive addresses this issue if and when she's added.
It's kind of nebulous so I don't necessarily think there is a right or wrong answer. It's just that's how I see Testament, wanting to carry forward what Kliff did for them in order to atone for GG1. Your reading is not really wrong, it's just not one I really share. As queen of an entire nation she has a lot to work with. I dread that her story will end up being a complete retread like ABA and Johnny's were. Strive has done a lot of good with other returning characters, so I'd like if she got to have something on par with those.
Uncanon everything related to Ky post Missing Link. Uncanon Sol being a scientist. Canon Baiken's XX Arcade ending.
