What's your thoughts on Sol's other not-as-talked-about weapons, the sword with gears on it (kinda looks like a fang of some gear that he super-glued actual gears on to), the sword with squares on it (I used to think that this was only in one piece of artwork but I guess it's the same as one on the art for X Heavy Rock Tracks), the axe, the scythe, the hammer(???) he has on the painted artwork which also appears to be made from a gear fang, maaaybe whatever tf he has in Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007 cover, and uhhh let's throw in the guitar on Guilty Gear The Original Sound Collection + the bara art version. Btw in the image with the Ky and the horse and the jerky, what weapon do you think he is holding there? I think it's the scythe but it could be another weapon.

[cont]: Oh no!!!! I forgot the red hot sword he has when fighting that big gear in the city!! Tell me if I forgot any other not-talked-about Sol weapons.

I LOVE HIS WEIRD SWORDS SO MUCH. Idk if Daisuke's talked about what the deal with his weapons is in an interview somewhere, but since Toshimichi Mori handled Order Sol's gameplay in XX he might not have. Though, I don't know if Mori's actually drawn Order Sol outside of doing his animation roughs, I wasn't able to find a credits list for XX Slash. Shinnosuke Hino did the character artwork for the three Accent Cores though (the moodier HOS here):

This is important because it means that Mori may have been the one to design Order Sol's iconic slab. It doesn't appear in artwork until XX Slash, despite HOS being drawn quite a bit in the games before that. I like to imagine that HOS went through a bunch of weapons before settling on the slab because they kept breaking and the slab was the first one that actually held up for more than a few fights lol

This got long. Courtesy readmore. All of the following illustrations here can be seen in full over on the GG Wiki: https://guiltygear.wiki.gg/wiki/Order-Sol/Gallery

There is also the possibility that Sol used some kind of magic on the slab. At least two illustrations (by Daisuke) have it shown with "JUNKYARD DOG" carved into it, implying it's the missing Junkyard Dog Mk.I (Mk.II is in Vastedge and Mk.III in Xrd):

More about this on the GG Wiki

It seems like the sword with the weird square things on the pommel stuck around the longest before Daisuke started getting funky with it. The very first Order Sol illustration (from 1998) has it:

...and it shows up again about two years later for a GGX telephone card:

The sword on the Heavy Rock Tracks (2001) cover has the square hilt too, though its blade shape is different than the Missing Link HOS's weapon. I like his axe in this one. Maybe he stole it off one of the dead Gears around him? I'm pretty sure the flared version of this sword here returns in a completely unrelated illustration but I can't find it now...

I wonder if the strange translucent gears [literal] sword from GGXX was the direct descendent of the square pommel sword? It's hard to put exact dates on these to know for sure haha

This one is REALLY interesting because it gives a little glimpse into what the state of the Sol lore was like in 2002. He didn't have the Fireseal until after he left the Holy Order, but Ky is also in this painting. So it's during his Holy Order era. Retcon?! (joke) The giant tooth thing is hilarious too. Did he make that??

The last order Sol drawing I know of where he has a weird weapon before he's given the slab in XX Slash is the Artworks of GGX 2004 cover with the strange glowing weapon. This is one of my favorite Daisuke illustrations, it's so sad it didn't get recycled for future projects the same way a lot of his other work did. It seems like he didn't forget about it though, because the shapes on the sword here are incredibly reminiscent of what would later become the Junkyard Dog Mk.II and III.

Nainsoo was so real for redrawing the fucked up Original Sound Collection guitar for the vinyl release. His Sol is such a babe

I genuinely have no idea wtf he's got in the Artworks 2007 cover but the outfit here would be cleaned up and reused for Vastedge like 7 years later lol

I just wanna take a moment to poke fun at the character selection in the new Guilty Gear poll just because I think it's kinda funny

How?

HOW???

What. Are they gonna like, kill Zato again or something? Or are they talking about the Eddie that showed up for like a minute in Accent Core???

Can she even fight? I can understand Vernon somewhat, but I don't think she does anything (unless it's in the book she's from and I just don't know).

I guess we're doing revival again.

I don't think most of the Conclave can even fight. Baldias had a forbidden beast, and the only reason Axus did anything remotely similar to fighting is because he had a gun.

She was retconned into being skyscraper sized though???

Did they forget that he's still just a head in Strive's credits or something

I was going to put Robo Ky Mk.II here, but I reached the image limit. Anyway, I find it funny that it made it onto the poll and not Leopaldin. You know, Isuka's other original character that isn't A.B.A.

These are really funny because there is literally no way for anyone who doesn't know Japanese to read the manga legally because there's never been an official translation. The manga is Guilty Gear Xtra, btw.

Fuck it, it's whatever I guess.

Sol Badguy but he went out to visit ABA

[rubyyogurt]

I made PalMod palettes for every Guilty Gear AC+R character based on the Game Boy Color's default palettes! Free to use, credit me if asked. I have these all set to the EX Punch slot personally, if you happen to run into a player named "goopshit" online. All the PNG files are under the linebreak, just drag the file onto the PalMod preview window when set to the palette you wish to replace, and it should just apply all the right colors.

edit: changed bridget and aba to look better

edit 2: made both sols less shadowy

edit 3: made may less bright, made dizzys clothes darker

edit 4: made ky more bright and fully redid robo ky

edit 5: justice touchups, made her hands n hair nicer

edit 6: made jam and millia easier to look at, and changed some almost not black colors to actual black on zato, zappa, testament, i-no, and johnny

edit 7: tweaked mays marine life, and made all the pirates different colors

"Out of control."

Based on Sekkai's end animation Post-Dragon Install clarity hits hard

And version without background since I absolutely despise how it turned out:

Wargasm - Booklet Scan

Always been really obsessed with the art used here given its brief release as a penciled image by Daisuke we have no idea who colored it for use specifically for Wargasm, Wargasm is a pretty odd dvd given its nature as a tournament is actually quite short and was likely invite only

Soltober 2024, 11

[illym]

Ky: The Holy Order lives to serve*

*(help the people and defeat the gears)

Sol, who grew up in the early 2000's in the middle of queer culture and dated Aria: You aren't serving^ in that outfit

^(looking good and snazzy)

(A.K.A, I thought this post and this post were very funny.)

ID in alt text.

Bonus:

Order Sol is genuinely so damn extra.

Alt last panel:

I reversed the joke because I think its funny when people assume stuff is slang, but mostly because I couldn't be assed to come up with Guilty Gear slang. Fake fan, I know.
