- People can spend hours recapping the lore of Guilty Gear...but I say, all you need is a few minutes.
Thanks to everyone who supported me while I worked on this project. It was a lot fun to work on, and I'm very proud of how it turned out.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the overwhelmingly positive response to the video! I had a lot of fun working on it and I'm glad to see that everyone is enjoying it!
If this comment seems familiar, yet different, it's because I made a previous pinned comment that ended up getting removed. This video seems to have exploded in popularity, so in light of this, I've been spending some time doing a bit of channel management. I won't get into too many details, but the result of it meant that all of the comments and responses I left here got deleted. I apologize to the kind folks who engaged in a discussion with me, the conversations we had are unfortunately incomplete now. I really wish there was a way I could fix that.
In any case, I felt it's probably a good idea to leave some corrections in this pinned comment since a few folks have pointed out some mistakes that I made.
UPDATE: ...Yes, I am aware that I mispronounced Tír na nÓg...you don't have to keep telling me...
1:13 That Man blew up Japan BEFORE the Crusades began. That Man was running an experiment to test the functionality of Justice, which went very wrong, and the Universal Will attempted to manifest itself within Justice. Worried that this event may cause Earth to no longer be a human world, That Man then overrides Justice's controls and blows up Japan to stop the manifestation from occurring.
2:58 Ky becoming the king of Illyria and falling in love with Dizzy *technically* happens directly AFTER the events Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R. I wrote the video like this because I felt like it would flow better, otherwise I would have basically said that I was skipping over two games in the franchise in a row, which just felt awkward to me. In hindsight, I probably could have written this section to be a little less misleading, my bad.
9:39 This asterisk is very funny, but it's not entirely accurate. Happy Chaos wasn't really "controlling" the Universal Will, he was just absorbed inside of her, so he didn't actually kill Bedman. Delilah wants to kill Happy Chaos because she thinks it would be a roundabout way of avenging her brother since Happy Chaos created the Universal Will. I still think my explanation is more fun though lol.
13:01 Okay so this one is probably the biggest mistake I made, although this whole Scales of Juno thing is so confusing that I don't even blame myself THAT much for it. Ky Kiske DOES NOT have the Scales of Juno within him. Jack-O is the one with the Scales of Juno. No, what Ky has within him is the *BLOOD* of Juno, BIG difference. The blood of Juno essentially refers to the pure Gear cells of Justice, and these pure Gear cells are inside of Ky's eyeball and are what allow Ky to perform Dragon Install. So I believe that the explanation I provided here is pretty much correct, just replace "Scales of Juno" with "blood of Juno" and it'll make sense. Honestly, I feel like instead of calling it the "blood of Juno", they should have actually called it the "blood of JUSTICE" since I feel that better describes what's going on here, ESPECIALLY since I've seen a lot of other people also get this detail wrong, but it's Daisuke's vision so whatever I guess.
I'll update this post with more corrections if I feel they're important enough to mention. I obviously skipped over a lot of details and characters, so I encourage anyone who's actually interested in Guilty Gear lore to take the time and fully look into it. There's plenty of comprehensive videos out there that explain everything that I didn't, and there's the GG World mode in Guilty Gear Strive that's essentially an in-game encyclopedia for the whole series.
Again, thanks for all the support you all have shown the video! It's not perfect, but I hope all of you will stick with me as I continue to work on more videos. Peace!
Very good retrospective. Subscribed. Dope to see someone blow up in real time.
Alright… Now do Blazblue
Really, your sence of humor in this is great xD
Babies come from the eyes
Hilarious! I loved it. Thank you very much. May God bless you and your family.
This is shockingly accurate but one correction: Ramlethal didn’t just turn good because she ate a burger. She turned good because she ate a burger and a comatose man killed her dog
And Keanu Reeves showed us what a dead dog can do, so I buy it
I...
L
W... what
"An 8-year-old man swinging a flag pole made me eat a burger and a comatose man who fights with a bedframe killed my dog, the only logical choice I had was to renounce the pope."
The best part is how he transitions to the next game and reveals they take place after like a 5 minute commercial break
A quick McDonald's ad and bam, next game.
@@maddoxioXD
I love how horrifying the lore is and it has names like "the backyard" "that guy" "the junkyard dog" the protag is literally called "badguy" and "THE CUBE"
Japan my dude
It feels like they spent all their time working on the combat system and then needed a story. And the lead designer, instead of hiring someone to do it asked his 5 yr old kid to make up something. And rolled with that
"A giant fucking lightning bolt"
@@nachonachoman I think that's like 90% of fighting games
Half of the games are music references. Sol's original name is Frederick Bulsara, Bulsara being the surname of Freddie Mercury. Mr. Badguy was then the name of Mercury's solo album.
Forgot to mention that when asked why he had a super-nuclear weapon in hand even when he had the flame of corruption, sol's answer was "I was bored and needed a hobby"
What else could he do, he's bored
That's what you do when you have like 3 PhD and 100 years to do shit
Is was inmortal. Dont have nothing to do and he has regret of killing his wife for...4 or 5 time
Nukes are fun, I’d have done the same
I mean he was a scientist before becoming an absolute badass so
You forgot to mention the fact that Happy Chaos literally just appears in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and has an 'I must go, my people need me' moment at the end of all this
7:19
"Happy Chaos just thinks this would be REALLY funny, so he agrees to work with her."
Best character
ong
same
That's pretty much what happens when a god is just ADHD personified.
Even his theme says that he took 10 years to find the answer to something, but forgot in 2 seconds 😂
So just the Joker?
2:50 "guilty gear zeks"
"What!?"
Crazy cuz he actually did sum up the story pretty well, considering yeah there’s important side characters but in the grand scheme of things it’s really only Ky, Sol, Aria, and Asuka who matter
We're summing up this story in 14 minutes, not 2 hours.
Yeah, just forget that omni-present gods from another timeline (and cuz they are not from there they're gods) - Axl and I-no - exist in this, and that both justice laser fusion and i-no hand shot were possible because of axl who conviniently can stop time, sure, not mattering, kinda there kinda in story, sure.
@@alpha-tomahawk532 yeah they’re important side characters 😂
@@glacierwolf2155 bro, calm, 2 hours isn't enough to go through this story at length, I would at least say 12 hours of content to give this justice and fill out each corner and each character. Heck he didn't even look at Zep.
Sol, Ky, Aria(And her 20 clones/children), Those Men, I-no
boy that sure was a story. you actually summed it up pretty nicely
one of the most insane videos ive ever watched, cant wait for more
This is genuinely one of my favorite videos on TH-cam. Big ups, dude.
Actually told the story really concisely and in a really funny way, great vid!
This was GODLIKE! I never really cared for the story & lore in GG games, and I never played STRIVE myself, but today I got a full story mode walkthrough vid recommended by TH-cam, so I watched it, and I had some HUGE NGE EoE PTSDs so rocking hard, thus my interest skyrocketed in an instant.
Aaaand this is how I found your video later on. Thank you for this excellent story summary!
Having just gotten into guilty gear this week I was not prepared for the story to be this chaotic. This feels like it’s hitting nier levels of story and it’s just a fighting game! Very well done condensing it down to 15 minutes, helped me understand everything up to this point really well
A HUGE thank you for this summary.
I played the first 4 games but being a lore enthusiast back then gave me no answers since there was way too little to go on.
I lost track of the series due to daily life, hell I didn't even know That Man was already revealed.
Again, thanks for this, it's been way too long and I can finally give closure to this saga.
But it's music lives on!! **plays Midnight Carnival inside car**
Thank you for making a Guilty Gear lore video that is sufficiently comprehensive while also being reasonably concise! There's no reason this shit has to be an hour and a half long like how most people do it.
Loved this video, had no idea of the lore in Guilty Gear
This makes as much or even more sense than a deep dive on the lore.
Still blows my mind that strive takes place only three weeks after Xrd😅
This was done so well! I hope it takes off.
BRO this was amazing. I literally know NOTHING about Guilty Gear, but you made such an entertaining video that I couldn’t stop watching (and laughing). Props to you, friend
I know FG storylines are ridiculous but this one is next level.
Haven’t laughed this hard in a good while 😂😂, thanks man.
I love how he gets angirer as the plot goes on AHAHHA
Stories in fighting games tends to be a Leauge of its own. Somehow this series manages to go beyond that
Staiven: "That man"
Closed captions: "Batman"
Me: "I can live with that."
happy chaos is the incarnation of fuck it we ball
I want to see a ted talk of about 4 hours long of Daisuke, Kojima, Nomura and Yoko Taro just trying to explain wtf happened in their games just to see if they even know
13:15 bro i cant' stop laughing
This has been one of my favorite reviews of ANYTHING period. You've def inspired me to pursue this as an income stream. Great job buddy
This is well done.
Did I see a video of a girl with white hair which talked about how her theme sounded like All I want for Christmas? Then I saw a video about the duality of fighting game music, with some armor dude in it that I found attractive? Then I decided to want to know the lore of guilty gear just because of that? Yes. Yes I did.
AWESOME, I needed to see this!
Great video! the only (not really inconsistency) thing I noticed is that AXL low played a key role to water down i-no's plan. More than once. And actually he was the only one who could do that since he could also travel trhough dimensions (back in the original series and also for the final plot of GG Strive). But that's about it. I enjoyed this video, and I agree... 4 months in the making. I believe you. Great commenting!
Happy Chaos is actually the remains of the Original (after being broken) merged with I-no’s “Purity” while being housed in That Man’s (Asuka’s) Jack-O vessel that went missing.
He just wants some drama, nothing more.
How long did this take to make?
I'm genuinely impressed. 👌🏾
Happy chaos motivation being "shit will be funny" is the funniest thing i love guilty gear
i love how the video just stops for Sol beating up justice for a solid minute
I remember the first guilty gear from a slight memory of my uncle buying something from blockbuster. As a teenager when I got interested in rock/ metal music I used all my brain cells to remember the name of the game and downloaded all the osts on lime wire. the music definitely change the trajectory of my life, Im more willing to enjoy new music.
I was only watching this so I could get the rundown before Guilty Gear Strive and realized HALF THE VIDEO IS ABOUT STRIVE OMG
Bro just earned a new follower because he's spittin' tight bars that would make eminem insecure while storytelling. PLEASE KEEP DOING!!!
Glad I caught up on everything then, makes perfect sense to me. Thanks
Great vid, anybody else remember when Axl mattered to the plot?
I've heard of acid trips that make more sense than this storyline. And thank you for your sacrifice of all your brain cells to deliver this very obscure sense of story telling.
Ah yes, the casual hobby of building rocket ships in your backyard
Don't you love it when Sol says: "That's bullshit!" and then blazes all over the place?
I love how r/guiltygear just decided that Ky got the Scales of Juno through Gear STDs
Ok, sounds both straightforward and reasonable.
Ah, thank you. iv been wondering about this game lore
Hands down, this series has had the best soundtrack of all fighting games, doubt it will ever be matched.
9:39 *Delilah's brother, Bedman, was actually killed by his strange illness, which was fully activated by Venom and Robo-Ky, who went after him because he was an underling of the Universal Will. So basically, the Universal Will is the reason Bedman died, but Happy Chaos was controlling the Universal Will from within her boobs, so by extension, Happy Chaos is TECHNICALLY the one who killed Bedman.
Somehow this one guy got killed by FOUR DIFFERENT PEOPLE and a DISEASE all at the same time.
The sad part is that this is still one of the better stories to a fighting game series.
LMFAO Ky failing to defeat I-No was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. Thanks for this!
Watched this video three times and I still get lost halfway through
Always good to hear someone else spreading the lore. It's my Bible, tomb of origin of you will.
Baiken had the greatest plot development in the entire franchise. Truly great.
"in order to stop the us from militarizing gears, he militarized gears"
This is what I needed. Thank you.
Welp, I'm no closer to understanding the plot but this was a well edited video
I fucking died at "all because she ate a burger"
@10:12 Nightmare blunt rotation
The secondary character story weren't hurt during this
also GG is still incredibly beatiful ngl
thank god someone could make sense of all that for me... epic!
Never played any of these games... Didn't know I needed this vid... I will now okay the games... Sub
“I guilted myself into a gear Morty!”
"directly into the fourth game of the series, Guilty Gear 2" Oh, of course, my mistake to be so foolish
"Which brings us to the next one: Guilty Gear X! Nothing happens in this one." caught me off guard lol
This must be what drug roulette feels like.
You left out that in GG1 after Justice dies Sol becomes the Guilty Gear
one minute in and i immedeately think i need a drink
To prevent the US to militarize gear that man militarize his gear starti g by using his best friend gf... so accurate.
1 minute in and this seems like just Evangelion with extra steps
Well I can't get that time back lol still one of my favorite fighter series games
As someome who doesn't even know this existed, I have to say I enjoyed the edit so much that I made sure yo finish it. 😂
Happy Chaos just chill like that yk
My therapist said this video set me back at least 3 weeks 😂
Sol badguy when saul goodman walks in
Sol took "beat it up" way too literally on Aria
After having watched the summary of only the most important events in Guilty Gear in a 3 1/2 hours video , I'm very curious how this one is going to go. xD
"This takes us into the fourth game in the series, Guilty Gear 2" lmao
Holy shit😂This is so f’ing good!!! Idk anything about gundams or gears and I had zero interest in Guilty Gears. I overheard an A++ band playing a really good rock song and i wanted to know who they were. Anyway, I just wanted to complement the creator on this incredibly entertaining video. I still don’t know who the band is, but they are very talented as well. And any musician who hears the song I heard, would instantly recognize it too.
This game lore seems to be held by blue and faith and honestly is the best kind of lore
5:33 IS THAT A SAXTON HALE REFERENCE!!!!!!!1!1!!!!!1!!!!!
The "Next Game" made me belly laugh 😂
"Heaven or Hell! Lets Rock!" the nostalgia
This is an incredibly funny recap of the guilty gear series of games. I wonder what series of games will be recapped next?
What a wild ride. Loved it dude! Looking forward to seeing more!
absolutely amazing story telling
"She stopped being evil, because she ate a burger!"
WHAT???
The Guilty Gear story is wild and out of this world
This entire story can be summed up in the statement "Ya know, as ya do."
Underrated ashell
Wish there was more Potemkin lore out there
Wait, the whole story in 14 minutes... but no Bridget. 1*10/10
thank so much for this!
Earned a sub! Confirmed the story is ridic lmao
Learning to speak the language of flowers
Games like this should never have a story plot. That's what makes them cool
This was too good
so close to 1 mil
I’d say thanks, but that felt like an acid trip 😂
