SOL BADGUY LORE FAQ

WAS SOL BADGUY EVER MARRIED?

NO. THERE IS NO INDICATION ARIA ACCEPTED HIS PROPOSAL (Guilty Gear Strive, "Chaos" chapter, "Forest"). IN FACT, HIS "SPECIAL DATE" BEING "THE DAY HE PROPOSED" (April 8, GGST Guilty Gear World) AND NOT ANY SORT OF MARRIAGE DATE SUPPORTS THIS. THE PROPOSAL IS NEVER BROUGHT UP AGAIN AND BY SEPTEMBER ARIA TELLS FREDERICK THAT SHE IS TERMINALLY ILL (GGXrd Sign, "Struggle B," September 10, 2016). BEFORE THE END OF THAT YEAR, THE EVENTS OF GUILTY GEAR BEGIN HAPPEN AND FREDERICK "DIES," BEING TURNED INTO A GEAR BY ASUKA AGAINST HIS WILL, AND THEIR LABORATORY COLLAPSES ENTIRELY.

WHY DOES HE KEEP KILLING HIS WIFE?

HE WASN'T EVER MARRIED. HE STILL IS NOT MARRIED AS OF THE LORE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW (2025 MAY 20). SOL DOES NOT HAVE A WIFE. HE HAS NOT EVER HAD A WIFE.

WHY IS HIS NAME SOL BADGUY?

SLAYER, A VAMPIRE, NAMED HIM AFTER THE SUN BECAUSE "His passion shone like the sun to illuminate my path [...]" (GGXrdSign, "Philosopher B") AND "BAD GUY" IS WHAT THE CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD CALLED HIM DURING HIS BOUNTY HUNTING YEARS (GGST GGW "Frederick").

IS SOL STILL A GEAR AFTER THE EVENTS OF STRIVE & IN DUAL RULERS?

YES. ASUKA REMOVED THE FLAME OF CORRUPTION FROM HIM BUT ONCE YOU ARE A GEAR, YOU ARE A GEAR FOREVER. (GGST "Conclusion," "White House -- Gardens"). THE FLAME OF CORRUPTION IS BASICALLY A GEAR TURBO CHARGER. IT WAS NOT THE SOLE SOURCE OF HIS GEAR CELLS, IT WAS JUST INCLUDED AS PART OF IT AND IT WAS REMOVED.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?

I HAVE BEEN INTO GUILTY GEAR AND GUILTY GEAR LORE FOR 4 ENTIRE YEARS. I HAVE TRANSLATED A NOVEL AND INTERVIEWS AND HELPED CREATE A NEW LORE WIKI AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS. PEOPLE ASK ME THESE QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME. THEY ARE ALWAYS ASKING ME THESE SAME 4 QUESTIONS OR READING MY POSTS OR TRANSLATIONS ENTIRELY WRONG AND COMING TO WEIRD CONCLUSIONS THAT THEY THEN SUBJECT ME TO. IF I PUT IT IN BIG BOLD TEXT MAYBE IT WILL STOP. MAYBE LIFE COULD BE A DREAM.

Sadly, not the only Japanese artists who had that happen to them.

Luckily it's not the actual account that got hacked, but someone uploading AI slop via a service like Distrokid under their names

Here's a video with more explanation, even if it's a different artist, but I basically summarized the entire thing above (but definitely check out the video on how you could possibly spot & report the person that uploaded that, probably won't work all the time, but they're sometimes stupid enough to leave an obvious trail)

DAISUKE'S SPOTIFY WAS HACKED A FEW WEEKS AGO???? ARE THEY JUST FUCKING HANDING OUT PASSWORDS TO ANYONE WHO ASKS WHAT THE FUCK???

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

Let's be real, he could but he's too fucking lazy to try it out and/or probably tries not to rely on it too much

So, do you think that Sol can still transform into a humanoid dragon without Dragon Install/the Adam seed since he's still biologically a Gear for the most part?

I don’t think so, but he might still have some Magic capacity to summon Servants like he used to.

With the fucking translation fuckup on dual rulers Id like to remind people that like 90% of those guys who claim to be outraged about bridget being a woman are fucking idiots who dont know shit abiut guilty gear.

Show those fuckers an image of Axl or Venom and ask them to tell you either how they play or their lore and watch them stammer and be unable to actually answer because all they do is jork it to bridget and probably baiken and know who sol and ky are from memes

Those are the kind of guys who think Anji is just a flamboyant heterosexual

Same match as this clip, but didn't wanted to post two times a HMC finisher in a row.

So glad for comboable HMC we Sol mains got in the rework :3

[starfoxnerd4instinct]

Alright, I'm seeing you want some more clips of me being an absolute dumbass as Sol, so here you go, this time with the classic Tyrant Rave match finisher in Open Park against a higher floor Ramlethal

[starfoxnerd4instinct]

I will NEVER get that good of a match ender ever again. That HMC was rawer than a fresh slice of meat and it still worked out

Also, Switch edition is actually running insanely good, so expect more clips of me being an absolute idiot playing Sol

Oh, yeah, update:

He arrived one day before my birthday

I do not like to talk about merch pre-orders here but....

THE BOI'S COMING HOME! MY SON!

The pre-orders for the plush are on the Fangamer and Fangamer EU sites plus a new Kratos Bot plush.

For anyone living in the EU, definitely go over the Fangamer EU site, bc they include VAT and shit immediately, plus it's a flat 5 € shipping fee, so would say, it's worth it
