Guilty Gear XX♯Reload Comic Anthology Translation: Escape Boy

This is a comic the Guilty Gear XX Sharp Reload Comic Anthology, which I wanted to start translating. The original scans of this comic are by @tillman and can be found on archive.org

By the by, since I don’t have a Japanese folk tale to link to, I’d like to add the fact that in this comic (from 2003) Bridget’s serre-tête has the trans symbol instead of the male symbol. This is off-model for her XX design and (given the other times she is seen in the anthology) this seems to be a purposeful choice by the artist. Make of that what you will.

You can read the previous translation here

And the next translation here

​​Usual disclaimer: I am not fluent in Japanese and all of this is a one Fia job so everything might not be 100% accurate but I always try my best!

I must admit that the anime being revealed barely a day after you had complained about Xtra got a good laugh out of me. And given the two characters being on the poll, I do now wonder if they're maybe starting to show a bit too much at this point. Especially with maskless Unika already leading to a lot of speculation as is. I suppose at least it shows they aren't kidding when they say anyone is possible (though pour one out for Lightning the Argent not having any representation here).

I'm getting ready for bed and it's late so the blue light filter is activated on my phone and I almost got so mad because for a moment I thought Mizuha had a red eye and a brown eye, and Unika has two red eyes. So there was almost insanely solid evidence for them maybe being the same person. Mizuha actually has two brown eyes though, the shading is just weird:

I guess Mizuha could still have been subjected to Gear experiments or something and got red eyes like how Sol did before they retconned it, but she also would had to have gotten a significant breast reduction surgery rofl

I'll flip my lid if Mizuha and/or Tyr actually get mentioned in the damn anime after going completely ignored in everything since Xtra released 21 years ago hahah It's interesting they've been teasing Xtra in these recent surveys though. They've made zero effort to make it available outside of Japan, it's seriously not mentioned in the lore anywhere, and there are so many other (& more interesting) characters they could bring back instead. Maybe they've got a localized Xtra on the "merch they could do if western fans want it bad enough" table or something

Into, Across and Beyond!: Nature of Alternate Universes

In this post, I'll discuss the nature of each alternate universe and how they all differ from each other, and our world, in their own ways.

So, aside from the obvious point that there's always a variant of Sonic, one of his accomplices or another counterpart, as the lead hero of a universe, there's quite a few differences between worlds. For beginners, Dimension MP-2021's universe varies quite a lot from our own in these ways:

There are alternate universe equivalents to real-life products we use consistently. Chaos Cola is the main swap-in for Coca-Cola in most universes, though: in MP-2021, this is "Rola-Cola", it is "Chaos Soda" in CR-2017 and NS-2021, and "Crackin' Coke" in NM-1973.

G.U.N. has a presence in a few universes, though its presence in MP-2021 is instead cited as "S.I.G.U." (South Island Guardian Units). Likewise, MeteorTech, not owned by Robotnik in this universe, is dubbed Comet-Innovation.

As mentioned in the SEGANet post, YouTube is cited as "SEGATube" for SEGA universes (and any linked to them), and is better managed and less prone to allowing bots to cause people trouble.

TV idents are NOT treated as an afterthought in the SEGA universes, and brands are put as a core focus rather than simplicity. For instance, the UKTV Yesterday and W idents are more memorable in these cases.

In MP-2021, Tumblr is still dubbed Tumblelogs. Between universes, the whole Twitter/X name choice varies; for more peaceful areas, it's just Twitter, and in more run-down places like Moebius and New Yolk, it's X. However, in odd cases, they've decided to run with BOTH, dubbing it "TwiXter".

The Blue Man Group is the Green Man Group in MP-2021.

O2 is instead H2O in that same universe, same with T-Mobile being S-Mobile and EE being "GG".

As discussed in my MP-2021 post, most areas in that dimension are all on one island, with only Angel Island and the Death Egg separate from it. Most other dimensions instead have a whole vast world around them.

OMT!Tails, when SAGE (Sonic Amateur Games Expo) and SHC (Sonic Hacking Contest) are mentioned off-handedly by CR!Sonic, doesn't know what either is, since he has PAX and Trinoc*coN respectively in his universe.

Fast food restaurants McDonald's and Burger King are instead dubbed "McLovely's" and "Burger Monarchy" respectively in MP-2021.

Pop culture as OMT!Tails knows it is vastly different compared to other worlds; in his universe, there's a marble-run comedy starring Chris Pratt called Don't Lose Your Marbles, the sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (Toon Platoon) actually managed to release in MP-2021, and Zootopia got its own sequel, subtitled "Furrious Unity".

The Planet Hollywood restaurant and resort chain is instead dubbed "Planet Staroak" in MP-2021, with the "Staroak" location off-island being the heart of the area's film industry.

Other changes for other set universes include:

Errorverse (EV-2019)

The more classic cartoons in the Errorverse went their own way from companies like Disney and Warner Bros., and expanded Toontown into a full-blown Toontopia where any classic cartoon can live and flourish.

The age rating badge in the Errorverse is outright PEGI instead of the ESRB.

Fazbear Entertainment underwent new management in the Errorverse after the Pizzaplex disaster and changed its ways with new pizzerias without trying to cover up what happened.

The BBC in the Errorverse is instead the GBC (Global Broadcasting Corporation), having its own library of TV channels and radio stations.

Dimension ELE-2023

Like Elemental, this universe splits different people by their different elements, with Sonic hailing from water (despite, ironically, it being his worst fear) and Amy Rose hailing from fire.

Miscellaneous

All dimensions comprising mainly of 2D artwork (with or without toon physics; anime-based works and animated storybooks count) all class as "Tooniverses". The main ones are Mr. Needlemouse's dimension, BK!Amy's Camelot, the three classic Sonic cartoons and Sonic X.

Likewise, any live-action Sonic content (like the Movie universe) also counts as a separate Tooniverse.

Pool Scene Analysis

Ah, yes. The already famous pool scene! I’ve rewatched it too, and I can only say that I still love it as much as I did on first watch – but I understand how people can have mixed feelings about it. Overall this episode is a lot about parallels, as we could see with flashbacks and the now of Beth and Dean. And the pool scene is part of a sets of parallels when I look at it: Two parallels: - Pool Scene vs past Beth/Rio scenes. [Most notably the bathroom Break in 2x04 – yes with pictures included, I’m not a monster] - Beth/Rio vs Beth/Fitzpatrick vs Beth/Dean (I was going to break it into those two parallels, but I decided to go chronologically, it makes more sense) Dean + Beth So, what happens just before? Dean just figuratively threw the door in Beth’s face, because he learned that he isn’t just in jail because of Beth. He now knows that Rio was a part of this scheme since the very beginning. From the past seasons we know that Dean doesn’t have that much of a problem with the whole crime aspect, he bribes the doctor himself when he fakes the cancer, hires the baby hitmen to off Rio, and handles the books at Boland Motors (Beth asks Dean where the books are, when Turner is about to raid them). Dean’s problem is not with crime, it’s with Rio. Beth + Rio / Pool Scene Beth drops by Rio at his (empty) bar, and tells him she needs a loan. Now, she’s never been shy to ask for money or time or jobs with Rio, but in a way most of those times were directly of indirectly beneficial to Rio in the end. There’s obviously times he refused, like when she wanted him to participate in the Botox scheme in 1x08 – because that was an instance where it once benefited her. And, like now, law enforcement is on them. And we know Rio ain’t doing any time because some bitches need their pocket money.

It’s the episode Ruby and Annie called Beth out for not NOT wanting to do crime – hell, how she’s crawling out of her skin living ‘the normal life’. In the same episode Rio tells her she’s not going to be any kind of boss until she gets her house in order, while both her business and her actual house in 4x03 are in shambles again. In 1x08 Ruby also learns that Eddie is talking to the feds, putting the girls up for an important decision: Who’s going to be the fall guy, Eddie or them? It’s not going to be them. Back to pool. Beth tells him it’s for bail, but Rio immediately nah’s her. She needs a fall guy if she ever wants to make money again. Which is what Rio did to Beth before 4x04, he left all the fake money in her name. Presumably so he could go and make a fresh start for himself. But when she prove her worth again he took it all away. Beth tells Rio that at ‘it’s not his fault’. But Rio reminds her that he told her to be smart:

Which is what he told her when he send her to watch Lucy, someone else who got spiraled into crime due to Beth’s scheme. Another innocent who took a fall for her, albeit it not directly her doing. Dean’s arrest, by also not letting him in on the crime, but who she set up form the beginning by putting both the store and accounts on his name – is her doing. As much as she might not want to see that.

“Look they’ll cut a deal. Three years, club Fed.” Beth jumps on how it’ll affect her kids and her, but ignores the thing I’m latching on to: That Rio assumes Dean will cut a deal with the Secret Service. But that would mean Dean can offer them something in exchange for him to cut years of his sentence. And we already know that Dean knows nothing about how the business works – Phoebe knows by now that Dean knows nothing about how the business works, because she found Beth’s handwritten instructions herself – so the only substantial thing Dean has to offer is Beth. I’m not entirely sure Beth’s talking crime implications, or personal when she asks ‘What about me?’ but Rio is very keen to focus entirely on the marriage part. Telling her that ‘her boy’ will come out in better shape than when he went in. ‘Maybe she’ll even wanna hit that again’. Beth’s briefly looking at him with a look of ‘I can’t believe you brought that up’, but barrels forward with a ‘There’s gotta be a way to get him out’.

This moment parallels with the first non-flashback scene we see, of Beth and Dean, that I talked about before. Dean’s issues with Beth’s crime life are with Rio. And Rio’s throwing it out there that can’t grasp why she has such an issue with Dean talking the fall. He might not know everything about their marriage, but he knows it’s broken enough for her to have sex with him, for her to get into crime and choosing to stay, and to even set him up and keep him in the dark for Boland Bubbles. Hell, the first time they fucked her husband was sitting three feet away waiting for the bill, and the second time was in her marital bed. But I’ll get back to that.

Rio throws back that if you ‘Do the crime, you do the time.’ To which this piece of convo follows:

In 2x13 (and please lets not get into discourse how poorly this was built up) Rio made sure everything was on Beth, even oopsing the dead body buried under her lawn to Turner as a cherry on top of all the funny money and the dealership. Rio knows he needs a fall guy – and in 2x13 it was Beth – she could make it all go away if she murdered Turner.

Rio talks about how he got luck on his side. Surviving the shooting could be considered lucky, and the opportunity it gave him to wipe the streets from his competition gave him more space and opportunity to built something up after he organized the drive by on Turner. But he also say ‘Maybe you do to.’ Which could indicate their immediate game, but I’m thinking it might be more. I think this might be a reference to Rio’s mystery boss we have yet to meet. When you think about it, Turner took a lot of people down probably in the span of like two months, and Rio was AWOL for all that time – he’d be the first one people look at to be a snitch. Yet he remains unscathed for the whole of season three up ‘til now, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he had some wort of protection. And perhaps he’s offering Beth to be in on that too. Speaking of 2x04’s bathroom break, hello bail deal! We all know there some more ambiguity surrounding this scene, but all choreography of this scene seems so deliberately close to 2x04 I cannot unsee. Look:

Beth seals the deal back in the bar, and Rio allows her to take it from his cut she still owes him. That is, obviously, not what she was looking for. But who’s surprised, really? In 1x08 he was shut down, not taking on new business and not continuing the running ones. He even stole all Beth’s money – she could have known that everybody still feels the pain.

Once again Beth will have to solve things herself, but Rio can’t help but look at her as she storms out. Beth + Fitzpatrick I already touched on the 2x13 parallel from when Beth says that nothing ever sticks on Rio, but there’s more callback in this scene as well. Beth now has been turned down by Dean from even talking to her, and by Rio from help with money for bail. She’s kind of fed up at this point, and at the end of her rope. And now this infatuated dick who refuses to do the job she hired him fore is lounging in her kitchen like her owes the place – owes her.

Beth has a tendency to copy Rio when she really needs something, but also doesn’t really know how to get it – like when she and the girls went into the crack house to retrieve the Dubby. I can’t say I’m surprised she explodes her, changing her tactic to ‘giving him what he wants’. Like the crack house this could have ended horribly, but fortunately it works (well, for now, we don’t know yet how this is going to play out). But Beth’s visibly weighted by the choice she just made to handle this – even if it worked. So that’s folks! What do you guys think? Did you notice a parallel I missed?

=== ADDITIONAL NOTES ===

About the archive - The files here were previously scattered across multiple websites and cloud storage services, making them difficult to acquire to those outside the small Guilty Gear archival group. I did my best to gather them all in one place. Please contact me if more files are discovered and I will add them to the archive upload on Archive.org.

The ripped mobile port files - The mobile version of Vastedge XT was only online and available to even download for around a year before the servers shut down. The two .OBB and one .APK file were ripped from the Android port of the game and are what Tillman ripped the animated assets, meshes, sounds, and textures from. A lot could not be ripped because it was stored on the game's servers. The encryption also makes ripping files from these difficult. It's possible there's more on them that was not able to be ripped.

Japanese file names - The original name of the .APK was ﾊﾟﾁｽﾛ GG_com.dtechno.slotguilty.apk and had to be renamed to be compressed into a .ZIP folder. If the file runs into errors during launch/cracking attempts, try reverting the name. Likewise, the Japanese names of the videos could not be compressed and were also translated. There is a separate .TXT file within VXT VIDEOS that includes their original Japanese file names.

Duplicate concept art images - There were two archives of the concept art. One was hosted on e-hentai by Mister Guest and contained the full, uncropped, images. The second was from a folder that Volcanic had compiled. Volcanic's files were a higher resolution, but were cropped and missing some information Mister Guest's files had. I've included them both here as well as the files from a third archive where an anonymous user on Imgur had restored the colors on the character models to match how they look in the game itself.

Neon colors on the concept art - The neon sections on these character model sheets are temporary/placeholder colors and not how they appeared within the Vastedge XT game. Their true colors can be seen in the videos within the VXT VIDEOS folder or in the FIXED COLORS folder within VXT CONCEPT ART.

Dialog transcripts - What we know of Vastedge's story came from official story summaries posted by Arc System Works on the Guilty Gear websites. The dialog is exactly that: character dialog. There may be lines missing, that are inaccurate (due to typos), or other written/spoken parts of VXT not included. It may be possible to get this missing information from the videos in VXT VIDEOS or from other VXT video sources online.

[sothischickshe]

so i think i mightve been tagged by @mego42 to rec some fic? or maybe not? it wasnt entirely clear, or maybe i dont know how to read.

either way, have some recs!

first five forever faves which i rec all the time but im gonna do again on the off chance you werent listening the first 343456455 times.

if you’ve read stuff ive written you might not be super surprised to find these are generally: angsty/harsh, written fairly sparsely, canon-y, a little weird, relatively short, focus mostly on beth and rio, reasonably high concept, ft. clean sentences and engaging language choices, doublethinky, creatively sexy

Good Sport by fireinsideforfun (you’ve probs already read or at least seen everyone freaking out about A Rational Choice, and whilst that is obvs amazing it’s also a chunky boy and a WIP. this is a ~12k one shot and it’s, as the summary says, a sleepy fic. also it’s amazing. ft. plausible misunderstandings, bed sharing but weird, believable characterisation which leans slightly differently to a lot of established fanon… aka many of my favourite things)

weed, philosophy, and more talking than expected by @johnisntevendead (listen, everything by this author is stellar and i soooo hope they return to the fandom some day. this two-shot is one of my absolute fucking faves! It’s claiming to be, per the notes, ‘a self-indulgent excuse for my pot-smoking ass to write Beth Boland getting high’. ft. plausibly stoned brio, excellent characterisation, H Y D R A T I O N (my forever kink), callbacks, unique smut, gorgeous and situationally-appropriate prose… aka many of my favourite things)

Y por fin volvere a verte by @septiembur​ (you’ve presumably already read Heavenly Hot Tubs and Get to be Mine… and if not you probs wanna get on that, the former invented hot tub brio long before the show and the latter is fake-dating heaven! but i cannot rec this story hard enough. It was, per the notes, ‘born out my need to process the finale’ which is both evident and relatable.  ft. angst, plausible post-s2 resolution, amazing characterisation, saying a lot with a little… aka many of my favourite things)

Simpler Times by @ohmisterjapan (you’ve probably read or at least seen recced the Power Struggle series and Maybe you’re my fantasy, all of which are amazing. This story absolutely blows me away, it’s set, as the notes say, ‘in a version of the world where Beth is a little more sexually empowered early on and Rio is a little less respecting of women‘. ft. scorching smut, believable characterisation which lists to the side of established fanon, lil Hints as to what’s going on, a melding of Beth and Rio’s povs, saying a lot with a little… aka many of my favourite things)

War in My Mind by mintletters16 (everything by this author is great, and I sooo hope they return to the fandom. this story fucks me up!!! as the summary says: ‘Beth mourns a loss and finds comfort in an unlikely source’. ft. A N G S T, Hints as to what’s going on, strong Beth characterisation which maybe leans slightly differently to established fanon, saying a lot with a little…aka many of my favourite things)

and another five i love (and happen to have been thinking about recently, and which, I think, deserve more hype):

(one) more time by mydearmoon (this author has several great GG stories! i absolutely love the cranky foodie rio pov here, as well as the long-suffering Mick vibes, and the Resolution! it all feels super in-character as well as a fun, fresh take on rio pov)

why storms are named after people by @veronicamarz (another author i so hope returns to the fandom one day!! i snapped and went back through the early pages on ao3 to find this again cos i wanted to re-read it and i’m so glad i did! you know the quote, yeah? buckle in for some a n g s t !)

we suck young blood by sylvianorth (i bumped into this while searching for the above, and again i am so glad i did!!! the last 3 tags on this story are: ‘cunnilingus’, ‘beth putting her foot down’ and ‘zen koans’, cannot fathom what more you could possibly need to know tbh?!)

Centrefold Adjacent by @betterhomesandhobbits (everyone’s been hard reccing the goodest boy, or as i like to call it: ‘blatantly copying me’, but i would definitely suggest checking out more by this author! this fic doesn’t contain dog pov but it’s a LOT of fun. here’s the summary: ‘Rio finds something extremely interesting at a yard sale that gives him a clue that maybe Elizabeth might not have always been such a good girl’ yeeeahhh.)

Five Times He Knew What She Was Thinking, and One Time He Didn’t by @joeyjoeylee (i feel like meg mighta just recced this, but so?! this is great rio pov, and it includes!!! him thinking!!! that beth!!! putting up!!! a stop sign!!!! in the middle of the night!!!! is weird!!!!!!!!!!! AS IT SHOULD, THANKS. also it’s a WIP (part 1 of 2) and i’m so hoping part 2 arrives some day!!)

i’m gonna tag first: anyone who wants to join in, obvs!! (and ofc you don’t have to use this format at all, i just find ‘gg fic recs’ too broad a concept to deal with, ha)

but also: (particularly bc i think they probs have fairly different taste to me, cos they like lame girly stuff like hugs and happy endings ewww): @medievalraven @bathroombreaks @septiembur @storiestoldbyjazz

(obvi no pressure, and i can completely understand why some ppl arent into rec posts. however, i do agree that the antidote to echo chamber tendencies is more recs not fewer. also, like i said - my faves skew weird, short, angsty and canon-y. does that mean that i think less experimental, long, crack/fluff or AU stories are bad or i dont like those things?! obviously not! many of my fave stories are those things! several of MY stories are those things!! but if you ask me for my absolute faves, you’re not going to get those things! which is why a diversity of recs is Big Good!!)

[kenrune]

Anyone else predominantly use Tumblr mobile and see bloggers talk about changing their profile pics but you see the same old icon (even after MONTHS) and are like ???? I am confusion.
