GUILTY GEAR LORE: Heaven Or Hell: Duel 4 [GGVXT to GGXrd]

a world separate from our own yet somehow controlling it the backyard hidden behind its gates are the eternal truths of good and of evil of creation and destruction of chaos the likes of which mankind has never seen in a time long past a philosopher entered this other realm he returned and through shuddering breaths he spoke no evil should touch this place this philosopher sealed all that the backyard was into a single tome his hope was that mankind would never stumble upon its power with that the path to the backyard was forever barred and peace once again blessed our world but what followed the ancient sage could never have predicted for evil came not from a human who discovered the book but from inside the backyard itself [Music] the memories of asca are cruz isotope and isolation in a time long gone before the end of friendships and a century of war frederick bolsara arya hale and aska r cruz had a philosophical discussion about the nature of creation evolution and the guiding influence of something in between arya at the start of her work day notes that the other two had not slept and that she was entering a discussion in its fifth hour as a thought exercise aska asks arya if she believes all products of the natural world are accidents of low probability arya concurs that this is stochastically correct asca hypothesizes that though we have never identified and measured the existence of a creator something theoretical could exist that defines the outcomes of all natural events in minute detail arya thinks it would be reasonable enough to call this theoretical thing god aska then points out that within a given evolutionary model there sometimes exists a missing link where species a become species c but evidence of step b is missing this might be caused by a number of factors as identified by the theoretical god but he finds the idea of a third party interference in the process to be a compelling consideration as it is entirely possible that an outside factor could force species a to become c by rewriting dna ascodubs this factor apocalypse arya considers the theory but deems it too wildly impractical aska notes that throughout history considerable numbers of species with missing links have gone extinct and that the intervention of apocalypse could lead to ruin frederick interjects that asca's statements are in fact absurd and arya shouldn't believe him you should be the one that chooses your own path no one else's hand should decide for you it's that simple good says aska i feel the same way aska awakens in a dark room inside a coffin-like device overflowing with colorless liquid with hundreds of superfine metal threats connected to his hippocampus raven who is standing nearby presses a switch removing the lid from the device azka sits up his body's been rejuvenated once again and he feels restored however the permanent memory loss associated with this process continues to be a complication of extending his life thus asuka is in the process of backing up his memories and notes to raven that this one in particular has elicited some nostalgia baptisma 13 epilogue asca and raven stand in the backyard after the destruction of valentine asca feels that things will not go as smoothly next time as there's no telling when the next valentine will appear or if there will be tens of thousands of them he wonders if the flame of corruption will be the one to end things raven remarks that the dragon install has started to encroach and vows his protection but asca says that won't be needed history will write its own course and it'll be raven's responsibility to witness it the time of apocalypse approaches and arya won't wait any longer 2187 a.d in the aftermath of baptisma 13 the un holds an emergency session kai kisk first king of valyria proposes human coexistence with gears the proposal is defeated and never mentioned to the public but as a result many heads of state begin to distrust kai world powers begin to develop their own countermeasures to provide humanity with defense against the unknown the conclave initiates the cyprus project a weapons development program for magic-based firearms usable by those without magical furthermore magical constructs called opus units are developed effective in traditional combat as well as magic support they're designed to obey without question production output for both the cyprus and opus projects takes place in a secret research lab named frasco 2 overseen by leon mining a nefarious founder of the post-war administration bureau with political ties to the assassin's guild starting with illyria shipments of opus units are soon deployed to every major city globally as per the orders of the sanctus maximus populi the sanctus populi organization is not technically a religion as they have no doctrine and require no faith but they're nonetheless treated with the same devotion and trust by the general population while vast amounts of knowledge have been lost to time after the dawn of revival humanity never forgot those who they relied on amidst the chaos it was only natural that the apostles that saved humanity would soon be surrounded by devout followers these followers became the founding body of the sanctus populi organization currently though the conclave holds decision-making power over world governments the sanctis populized leadership position sanctus maximus holds the true final executive decision for eight years from 2169 to 2177 the position of sanctus maximus was held by happiness the 27th a beloved gentle and fair man but in his final days he deteriorated both mentally and physically eventually dying of fatigue he is succeeded by his appointed cardinal ariels a woman known for being calm and virtuous however the sanctus maximus is not the only one preparing countermeasures in the wake of baptisma 13. guilty gear fast edge xt [Music] no way i've never heard is [Applause]

I suppose it was only a matter of time before we got around to Guilty Gear having a 100% canon pachinko machine.

[u/LightLifter]

Honestly this is making more and more sense while getting sicker by every video.

I might just have to play through the story modes of the games to pick up some of the fun minor details since this is a summarization.

[u/Masterness64]

Man I wasn't sure what to expect but seeing a baby being atomized alive wasn't one of them. Guilty Gear is hard core!

[u/LammasuRex]

We truly live in an age of lore.

[u/MaxiIsMe]

I dunno if I wanna watch this... what if there are spoilers for Strive?

[u/polo5004]

baldias has one of the sickest fucking designs ever

he's forever trapped in the pachinko hell

Daisuke, why?

[u/lion_OBrian]

New Lore Video??Woooohooo let’s go baby!

[u/warjoke]

A pachinko game having a canon continuity to an ongoing lore gives me so much soul damage

[u/ajver19]

What is lore really if not a fancy way of saying spoilers?
