Mini Fanfic #1221: Skipping Homework Day With My Two Favorite (Only) Grannies! (Guilty Gear Strive)

2:12 p.m. at the Illyria Castle, Sin Kiske's Bedroom........

Sin: (Groans Loudly While his Head Was Laid Down on his Desk) ('UUUUGGGGGGGGHH') Mannn! This blows! (Pulls his Head Back Up as He Looks Down at the Stack of Multiplication Homework His Parents, Ky and Dizzy, Gave Him) I've been coped up in here all day today and I'm STILL stuck on the first page. (Crosses his Arms While Pouting) I know school's a big deal and all, but I'm a Bounty Hunter, I hunt thing! ('UGh') If only there's someone I know who could break me free from this madness!!

?????: (Knocks on Sin's Door) Knockity, Knock, Knoooock!~

Sin: (Gasps as He Turns to See a Very Familiar Face Sticking her Head Out in hints Room) Granny Jack-O!~ (Happily Gets Up From his Seat Before Making his Way Over to his Grandmother) What the heck are you doing here!~

Jack-O: (Happily Spreads her Arms Open) To see you obviously!~ (Catches Sin in a Very Loving Hug) I can't go on another day without seeing my precious granbaby who I missed and love so, so much!~ (Starts Kissing on Sin's Cheek)

Sin: (Chuckles Ticklishly by his Granny's Kisses) Hey-ey now!~ The feelings definitely neutral.

????????: She's not the only one who misses, my dear grandson.

Sin's face turns to even more glee as he and Jack-O turns to see another familiar face walks into the room.

Sin: Granny Testament! (Walks Over to his Second Grandparent) You came to visit me too?

Testament: Why, of course~ (Happily Hugs Their Grandson) I couldn't bear to proceed any further with my life without visiting my most precious grandson in all the cosmos. (Gives Sin a Kiss on the Cheek)

Sin: (Starts Snickering a Bit) I swear, your words are getting more fancier by the minute.

Jack-O: I know, right? Everything about them screams elegance. I'm kinda jealous....

Testament: (Smiles Sheepishly at the Duo) I.... wouldn't exactly say that I'm the most elegant person in the world, but I am truly happy to see ypu two think very highly of me nonetheless. (Notices a Stack of Paper Sitting on Sin's Desk) I take it you've being doing homework this entire time?

Sin: (Sighs While Slouching his Upper Body Down a Bit) Yeeup. My math teacher says my grades has started slipping, so he convinced mom and dad to put me on a study/homework plan to catch up, starting with multiplications. It's so dumb.......

Testament: (Gives Their Grandson a Light Parental Glare) Now, Sin, you know they're only doing this to help improve your education in the long run, right?

Sin: Yeah, i know, but I've been working on it since first thing in the morning and it already got me stressed and bored outta my mind ever since.

Jack-O: ('Sigh') Stress and boredom. Two emotions I keep getting far too often these days......

Sin: (Turns Back to Jack-O) You had to do pages of homework too, Granny Jack-O?

Jack-O: Worse. I had to do stacks of paperwork, mountain sets of them, some of which were tall enough to create a mini fort around my own desk!

Testament: Oh come now, darling, it couldn't looked that ba- Oh my goodness. (Eyes Suddenly Begins to Widened at the Picture of Paperwork Fort Jack-O is Now Showing Both Them and Sin on her Phone)

Sin: (Looks Closely at the Photo in Question) I dunno, Granny Jack-O. It's looks more like a mini castle than it us a fort.

Testament: (Turns to Sin) Castles and forts are the same thing, dear?

Sin: Wait, really? (Crosses his Arms Together While Thinking) I could've sworn they're different.....

Jack-O: (Rolls her Eyes a Bit) Castle, fort, tomato, tamato. They're huge stacks of papers I never wanna go through again for at least the next months! (Smiles Brightly Again) Right now I wanna spend this beautiful, lovely day breaking our grandbaby out of this boring joint!~

Testament: (Turns to Jack-O Woth a Surprised Look on Their Face) I beg your pardon?

Sin: ('GASPS') Really?~

Jack-O: Really ×infinite!~

Testament: (Glares at Their Fellow Grandparent) Jack-O, no. We will not be doing that today.

Jack-O/Sin: What!? Why?

Testament: Because he has studies and homework to complete and we both know how very serious his parents about his education!

Jack-O: Obviously, but everyone deserves a break every once and while. (Wraps her Arm Around Sin's Shoulder) Especially this handsome cutie right here~

Testament: (Puts on a More Deadpinned Look on Their Face) Jack-O, I know what you're trying to do, it won't work.

Jack-O: Oh don't be even more of a stick in the mud. I'm only showing you how fearlu he miss spending time with his sweet, elegant gran-gran these days. Isn't that right, Sinny-Dear~

Sin: (Sticks his Arms Out and Puts the Most Adorable, Pleading Look He Could Muster) Gran-Gran~

Testament immediately winces at their grandson's sad puppy dog look, one of their most effective weaknesses.

Jack-O: (Forms a Cheeky Grin on her Face) Yeah, that's right~ There's no way you could say "No" with a face as cute as this, can you?~

Testament: (Tries Their Hardest to Resist Sin's Face.....) (So cuuuuuute~) (.....Only To Ultimately Sigh in Pure Defeat) Alright.... I concede.

Jack-O/Sin: ('GASPS') For real!?~

Testament: ('Sigh') Yes, yes, I am indeed "for real". But ONLY if you promise me that you will go back to finishing your homework once we return back here afterwards.

Sin: ('Sigh') Okay, but could you and Granny Jack-O help me out along the way? I really don't want to be stuck in rut anymore.

Testament: (Forms a Small Smirk on Their Face) Come visit you grandmother and I more often and our assistance will be granted.

Sin: (Happily Shakes Testament's Hand) Deal!

Jack-O: (Happily Pumps her Fist Up in the Air) Alright! Our Operation Break Our Granbaby Out of Boredom Jail is a definite go!~ (Grabs her Chin While Thinking) Now, how exactly are we sneak pass the guards?....

Testament: Why so that- (Creates a Dark Portal With the Palm of Their Hand) When we can just use a safely tasted portal to leave instead?~

Jack-O/Sin: (Happily Claps at Testament's Fullproof Plan) Ooooooooooooh!~

An Hour or So Later at L'oro Di Illyria's Glorious Café: Outdoor Patio.......

Sin: (Munching on the Cookies and Maccrons Testament has Ordered For the Three of Them) So- ('Mmm') Is this really the place you and Captain Johnny went on your date that one night?

Jack-O: (Munching on the Treats as Well) ('Mmm') Under shiny stars?~

Testament: (Gives the Duo Another Deadpinned Look) Please stop talking with your mouth full, you two. It's very unproper and unsanitary.

Sin: Oh. (Swallows the Cookies He Was Eating On Before on a Sheepish Smile Along with Jack-O) Uh....S-Sorry about that, Gran-Gran......

Jack-O: The sweets here are so delectable and yummy, we couldn't help ourselves....(Giggles Awkwardly)

Testament: Well, you're not wrong. Their desserts and pastries are the talk of the entire town for a reason. (Closes Their Eyes and Forms a Very Satisfied Smile as They Start Thinking About the Most of Desserts They've Eaten so Far) The well crafted designs, their appealing, sweeten aroma, their RICH, crunchy, creamy flavor~ Every last one of them gets even more tastier than the last the MORE YOU-

Testament immediately puts their rambling into a screeching halt as they notice Sin and Jack-O are staring at them a little funny, causing the Gear to slowly blush in the process.

Testament: B-But anyways- ('Clears Throat') Yes. Johnny and I have came here one night. On a date.

Jack-O: Ooooh~ How lovely~ (Places her Chin on the Middle of Both her Palms Before Leaning Herself in a Little For More Details) Did you two had a good time?

Testament: (Happily Nodded) We have, yes. It was a beautiful and peaceful that night. We've hummed to some of the lovely music an elderly man was very kind enough to play for us in his guita. (Giggles a Bit at the Memory in Question) We even laughed and talked for hours on end before the manager asked us leave for the night which lead us take a stroll the night away, enjoying the view of each architect we've passed at the time. ('Sighs Dreamingly') Everything that night wonderful. (Starts Blushing Again) Johnny, himself, is wonderful as well~ For the most part.

Sin/Jack-O: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) Most part?

Testament: As lovely as he is, he's also a bit of a- How does the youngsters call it.....A try hard. (Sighs While Putting on a Small Pouty Look on Their Face) Honestly, we've been dating for two and a half years now and that man still tries to woo me with his charms and medicore pick-up lines, every chance he gers. It's very adorable in hindsight, but when will he ever get it through his cute, thick-headed skull of his that I am already, attracted to him completely no matter what he do?~

Jack-O: (Casually Shrugs) Some people just want give their partners more of their attention. It's not the worst thing in the world so long you don't make it too much of a habit.

Sin: (Snickers a Bit) Like how you always try to find ways to make Gramps notice you more?

Jack-O: (Immediately Pouts at her Grandson) No!....(Turns Away While Twiddling her Fingers Around and Blushes) Yes.

Testament: (Rolls their Eyes a Bit) Of course. There's never been a time of day where you haven't attempted to impressed that stubborn burte of a man....How has he been doing these days if you don't mind me asking.

Jack-O: (Smiles Brightly Again) He's doing great. Still a grouch on the inside- (Hugs herself While Swaying her Upper Body Side to Side in a Very Lovestruck Fashion) But ohhh so sweet and romantic on the inside!~

Testament (Raises an Eyebrow at Jack-O) Frederick? A romantic?

Sin: Yeah, even I find that hard to believe honestly.

Jack-O: It's true! One night, I asked him how he feels about and if he still misses Ms. Asuka and he says- (Clears her Throat Before Putting on a More Rough, Gruntier Voice) "Jack, Arie's gone and you're still here. You're great just the way you and I love you for it. Now for God sakes ,woman, go back to sleep already."

Sin: (Chuckles Lightly) Okay! I take it back. That DEFINITELY sounds like the Old Man alright.

Jack-O: (Happily Clasps her Hands Together) I KNOOOOW!~ I told you he's a sweetheart!~

Testament: No one says he wasn't one, dear. Only the romantic part.

Jack-O: Which he excels on with flying colors these days!~

Testament: I doubt that.

Jack-O: (Pouts at Testament) Oh just give him a chance already, Testie. He'll might surprise one of these days.

Testament: Oh, I'm sure he will. Don't think it'll be anytime soon, but in due time I suppose. Speaking of which- (Turns Back to Sin) Sin, do you have a certain somebody you're interested in?

Jack-O: (Leans Over to Sin a Bit) In a romantic sense?~ (Rapidly Blinking her Eyes, Awaiting for the Answer)

Sin: Nah. I'm not really into that lovey-dovey stuff like you guys are honestly. (Grabs his Chin While Thinking) Though, there is this one girl I've been thinking about as of late. You know, the one who used to hate Gears so much. Unika, I think was her name?

Jack-O: (Eyes Widened at Who Sin Was Talking About) The T.E.O.C. brat that tried to kill you and Freddie in the past!?

Sin: The very same, yeah. Not the most friendly girl around by a long mile, but I do kinda wonder what she's doing these days. Maybe she's traveling on foot?

Jack-O: (Crosses her Arms While Pouting, Very Not Please of the Girl Sin Mentioned) Or hiding.....

Testament: Either one of these options are plausible in retrospect. Though, if there's one thing for certain......(Takes a Sip of a their Tea Before Putting the Cup on the Table and Putting on a Dark, Intimidating Look on their Face) She better pray to high heavens that she doesn't stumble her way back to this Kingdom or be foolish enough approach ME for that matter........

Jack-O: (Puts on a Dark Look of her Own) Or me for that matter. (Cracking Both her Knuckles One by One) Been wanting to have a few words with her ever since that incident and it's high time I make a reality! (Turns to Testament) Wanna search for her just in case, Testie?

Testament: (Simply Nodded) Yes. Let's. (Is About to Get Up Their Table-)

Sin: (Quickly Stops his Grandparents) Woahwoahwoah Hey, hang on for a second! You guys don't need to do any of that!

Testament: (Look Back at Sin) Are you sure, darling?

Jack-O: (Starts Pouting Again) I wanna punch her......

Sin: I know you do, Granny Jack-O, but I'm definitely sure about this. I mean, sure, what happened between us on that day really sucks and all, but she has her reasons for why she was angry, for the doing the things she did. And I get that, even if I'm not a fan of her trying of harm my family just to prove a point. So let's just relax for a bit. No use getting angry over the past anymore, am I right?

Both grannies stare at Sin for a few seconds before letting out relaxed, defeat sounding sighs.

Testament: I suppose.

Jack-O: We'll let it go for now. (Gently Ruffles the Top of her Grandson's Hair) Only for you, kiddo.

Sin: (Chuckles Ticklishly by the Hair Ruffling) Thanks!~ I know it's a chore to listen to a dumb kid like me-

Jack-O: ('GASPS') Sin Kiske, how dare you!?~

Testament: (Gives Sin a Srern, Motherly Glare Along with Jack-O) We will not tolerate you putting yourself down like that, young man!

Sin: (Quickly Brings his Hands Up in Front of his Face in Fear and Defense) I know, I know! I was just saying! N-No one wants to be lectured by a dumb kid all the time, am I right?

Jack-O: For some people maybe, but YOU- (Boops on Sin's Nose) Mister, are not dumb! You have shown us plenty of times that you are more smarter and clever than you're giving yourself credit for right now.

Testament: (Nodded in Agreement) She's right. Remember the time you helped May and I complete five different sets of picture puzzles back at her ship?

Jack-O: Or the time you've managed to beat your old man at an one v. one UNO match effortlessly in under a minute or so, without even making a single pokerface to throw him off?

Sin: (Chuckles Lightly at the Memory in Question) Yeah and he starts throwing the throwing whole table to the side. He was fuming that night!

Jack-O: (Giggles Softly) Oho definitely!~ Nut I wouldn't expect any less from my grumpy gills of a man~ But do you see where we're getting at here?

Sin: Yeah, I think so. ('Sigh') My grades beg to differ though....

Jack-O: (Gives Sin a Reassuring Smile) You'll be able to improve and do better on them in due time. There's no need to fret over that.

Testament: (Gently Grabs Hold of Sin's Hand While Smiling at Him as Well) and there's no need for you to doubt yourself either. You are as unique as they come, Sin, do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Understand?

Sin: (Stares at Both His Grannies For a Brief Second Before Smiling Back at Them) Yeah. I got it. (Smile Turns into a Sheepish One) But....you'll still help out whenever I ask for one, right?

Testament: (Giggles Softly) Of course we will, dear. Always. (Gives Sin Another Kiss on the Forehead)

Jack-O: (Happily Hugs Sin) What kind of grandparents we'd be if we don't help out our baby boi?~ (Starts Kissing on Sin's Cheek)

Testament: Honestly, Jack-O, you're going to end embarrassing that boy if you keep kissing him like that.

Sin: (Casually Shrugs) Eh I don't mind. Let 'em stare. (Forms a Bright Smile) At least everyone will know I have the most awesomest grandparents in the entire universe.

Testament: (Heart Begins to Melt in Genuine Happiness as They Join in on the Hugfest) Bless your pure heart!~

Sin let's out another laugh as he continues to spend some much needed time with hisvtwo favorite (only) grannies in the universe.

Unknowingly to them, however, there are two familiar figures watching over them from the far distance.

Ky: (Chuckles Lightly at the Trio in the Distance) It seems those three are already having a grand old time out there.

Dizzy (Giggles Softly) So it seems. It's been so long since I've seen Testament act like a dotting parent. It's so precious~

Ky: (Snickers a Bit at the Memory) More precious than the time Jack-O started cheering and running around entire castle once we first told her that she's a technical grandmother to the kids?

Dizzy: (Giggles Some More) I find that more silly if anything, dear~(Smiles Softly as She Leans the Side of her Head Over to her Husband's Shoulder) But it makes me happy to see to that our family is getting along these days.

Ky: (Wraps an Arm Around his Wife's Shoulder) I couldn't agree more. But you know something?

Dizzy: Hm?

Ky: It surprises me that you let those two sneak Sin out of the room earlier. I was for certain you would have a fit over it.

Dizzy: (Playfully Pouts at Ky) Oh hush up that cute mouth of yours, Ky Kiske!~ I can be as fun of a parent as you are, you know?

Ky: (Chuckles Lightly at How Adorable his Wife is Acting) Of course, you are, dear!~ I've just seen you becoming more laser focus on getting him do his homework these days it's kinda hard not to see you as the serious parent of the castle hold.

Dizzy: ('Sigh') You're not wrong there. Education is important and it's cruise for him to learn about it in the outside world rather than just hunting all day. (Gives Ky the Brightest Smile She Could Muster) But my baby's happiness is far more important to me than that all together and, you know?

Ky: (Stares at Dizzy For a Brief Second Before Smiling Back at Her) Yeah. It's important to me too. We'll make sure he maintain that happiness for as long as we both shall live.

Dizzy: (Nodded in Agreement) Right. For Sin.

[hi-note]

so far i’ve seen like, nobody make the connection that unika is sin’s sister

because like the eye thing from another story seems too purposeful of a setup to be a throwaway gag, sure the reactions are funny, but sin mentioned that dizzy’s eye fell out before ky panicked and tried giving her his eye and they were healed via magic… so if sin is one eye, i assume the other eye IS in fact unika, and sin is what was left of ky’s eye and unika is dizzy’s judging by the color

with that in mind, i think GGST:DR will just boil down to:

[mocolococoffeesimp]

do you have any Unika relationship headcaons?

Since, we have barely nothing on her... These will be the most headcanon of headcanon, prior to the anime releasing.

-Unika is a very impulsive person. So, you might be doing something else, like going to get coffee. Then, you're dragged off to go to the arcade. This is common for her, but when she focuses on something she is hyper focused. Nothing can break her out of it, so if she is thinking of getting you something she will just space out for a moment.

-Along with her being impulsive, she is also easily agitated. Eating food too loudly, stubbing her toe are some of the things that will get her agitated. But, she will quickly calm down as you pat her head, telling her it will be alright. She will huff, but accept your pats.

-She is a picky eater. So, making any kind of food is difficult for her. Since she is such a picky eater you usually let her decide what to cook. She is especially spiteful of pickles, saying they're worst thing before gears to exist.

-She will be stealing your clothes, for multiple reasons. She likes how your clothes feel on her and she is too lazy to do her laundry. So, she will just be stealing your clean clothes. She won't feel bad about it, she will steal your clothes, even if you mention it to her.

-She will be dragging you with her onto her gear hate adventures. She will go on her long rants, why gears suck and why they must be eradicated. You listen to these rants, trying to make her calm down. You are fine with her rants, but you would prefer her not to go on rampages to kill gears.

[solradguy]

Funny you mention the eyes, since I did forget for a moment we have art of Unika with both eyes being red, so I thought for a brief second her covered eye would be a different color as something of a parallel with Sin. In any case, I have no interest in Xtra, but I would rather the new character have a connection to that, versus being yet another Justice/Valentine variant. The team doesn't seem like one for repeats like that, but it's hard to be sure if they've said past lore will be relevant.

There is a chance that Unika is maybe the other Jack-O' vessel and she has the red eyes like Valentine and Xrd Jack-O' did too, but her being incredibly mad at Gears makes me think she's maybe something else. It'd be interesting/cool if she turned out to be another Gear experiment like Sol, Testament, or Aria were.

Tyr and Mizuha's story was, iirc, left sort of open-ended at the end of Xtra, but I think they were maybe anticipating Xtra never getting another volume because it's not like it left any huge cliffhangers either. It doesn't seem likely that Unika is going to have any ties back to Xtra. If anything, it may be that she's Japanese and has ties to Baiken or one of the colonies, if nothing else.

I'm excited to see what ends up happening in the anime though. It really feels like it's going to be good

[abyssalbard]

So Tomokazu Sugita narrated the Dual Rulers trailer.... I'm going to be silly enough to think that Asuka will definitely be in the anime.

That's what that means, right?

It has to be

I need Frederick Bulsara and Asuka R. Kreutz themselves to shake hands while Sin does something to solve the anti-gear Unika crisis. Like cheering him on as Grandpappy Freddy and That Man™️.

Like this whole "Gears ruined my life" premise Unika has going on is like perfect opportunity for things to show how far both are progressing. How Gears and humans are finally uniting and that just makes me hope of a B plot where the two can FINALLY start working together or SOMETHING. I need Sin to be FRIENDS with Asuka because Sin is everyone's friend. I need like Sin to prove that the world is healing properly. And I need Asuka to see that!!!

At least R# has to show up. He's a clone romping around and if things are going wrong, I'm positive he'd stick his nose into it. (Very hoping and praying [I need Apollo's Dodgeball to hit me on just ONE of these two points])

And if he is only mentioned in passing, that's a-okay! I am just happy to know he exists still! Maybe just his radio show? I don't know. Just something.

...

.....

I miss Asuka so much. I need any content of him. Literally any content, I'm desperate

[gear-project]

Annon-Guy: The Teaser for Dual Rulers dropped!

Based on what we got, what are your thoughts on the new girl in town, Unika? Looks like a cool character. Hopefully she gets added in Season 4, mostly to promote the Anime.

The story mentioned Ky and Dizzy's wedding. So does Dual Rulers refer to them?

Considering Sin's mentioned more in the synopsis, I take it this means he's the Main Protagonist this time around.

I don't know if this is Post StrIVe since Sol has short hair, meaning he must be Fredrick again, yet he's assisting Sin with Unika and Jack-O's nowhere to be seen.

URGH! Why a 2025 release Arc!?!

I now have a Unika tag, so we'll be discussing her in that tag from now on. As for my thoughts, wouldn't be the first time someone was Anti-Gear, but the fact she's repeating history by waging war in peaceful times (like Sol once did) seems to suggest someone is manipulating her from behind the scenes.

That's what was suggested, though the marriage itself was a public affair for Illyria's Citizens... I wouldn't be surprised if Unika's actions might be construed as an Assassination Attempt.

Yes, that was confirmed in the Panel. Sin is the protag this time around (like a passing of the torch you might say, Sin fans rejoice!)

Yes, it's Post-Strive, but that's not necessarily a bad thing... Sol has grown older and wiser, and he knows a thing or two about how people are. His line "Stay as you are, Sin" is a reminder that he knows just how passionate Sin is about maintaining peace between Gears and Humans (and this is coming from Sol, who hated Gears more than anyone in the past).

2025 is a reasonable date if you ask me... should be fine to wait... plus we've got DLC updates for Strive in the meantime!

Analysis of Everything We Know About Unika

All >15 spoken words and 3 images of it. This is over 2085 words long.

Unika! She’s everyone’s favorite guilty gear catgirl! Or at least my favorite guilty gear catgirl. And the only catgirl. And also probably won’t wear her catgirl goggles for a majority of the series but whatever.

This will be a comprehensive analysis of her design and name, followed by theories about what it all means. Please enjoy this as it took me working on and off for 3 days.

Possible Name Origins:

I believe while her name could be in reference to the Filipino rock/pop band “ÚNiCA” or maybe New Zealand pop artist Anika Rose Moa who is also known as “DJ Unika”, due to the word unika/única being a real word in a a few languages, there are many artists who use the name Unika or Única in their discography. I picked the ones who seem most likely based off of my limited research but it could just be an original name with no music inspirations.

As mentioned, the word “Unika” is a word in different languages, specifically meaning “unique” in Esperanto and Swedish.

It is derivative of the Latin word for unique; unicus meaning “the only one”. The feminine form of that word is “unica”. Similarly, unica is also the origin of the Spanish feminine form of “único” (also meaning alone, [the] only one, or sole) is única. However, from my research, all these words use a “u” sound rather than a “yu” sound making the actual validity of all of that shaky, but I’m betting on it being her name origin if any of these are correct.

Please note that I’ve mentioned “Unica” as well as “Unika” for reasons that I will bring up later.

Design Analysis:

Weapon:

Getting the obvious out of the way, Unika’s big ass sword is an equally big ass AC/DC reference.

The design motif of “AC/43” just means AC/DC, with D and C being the 4th and 3rd letters of the alphabet. The word “thunderstruck” written on the sword is also a AC/DC song. (I know this is only for canon information and I should keep speculation to the speculation station, but an album by AC/DC is called “High Voltage” which connects to the lightning theme as well.)

This is all almost certainly because the origin of the name “AC/DC” is “Alternating Current/Direct Current” which are the 2 types of electric current, obviously in reference to her use of electric magic.

The number 13, specifically written in French, is a motif seen on both her weapon and her outfit as well. Also, as you might know if you know enough English to get this far you probably also know that the 1st and 3rd letters of the alphabet are “A” and “C”. It’s all connected IT’S ALL CONNECTED—

One of the treize has the text “Devil's Dozen” underneath it. A devil's dozen is just another term for a baker's dozen…being 13 items rather than 12.

The word “caution” if it is a reference will probably be nigh impossible to figure out given how common the word is. There isn’t an AC/DC song called caution, just one called “Danger” which is, let’s be honest, 100% unrelated.

Also, I would be remiss not to mention the fact that her weapon looks eerily like an electric version of the Junkyard Dog

which in my opinion makes the possible connections to Sol and his story…well…more. It can also shoot projectiles, similar to said Junkyard Dog or Outrage.

Clothing:

13 (or “Trieize” as again, it’s always written out in French) we just mentioned. The fact that it is in French could be interpreted as a connection to Illyria which contains France (yuck!) but I don’t actually completely know the significance yet.

The brand(?) Enide is seen a few times. Enide is a character in Arthurian romance, which it is mostly likely referencing, don’t have any clue what meaning (if any) it could have.

The two seen instances of Einde have text underneath them. One of them is just saying that she has a gen 4 tactical jacket which I very much doubt matters, and the 2nd says

“When lightning strikes, you will face your sin and one dawn will come”

Lighting obviously references the electricity stuff that I just spent a whole section talking about. However “One Dawn” is the name of Dizzy’s theme. I refuse to believe this is a coincidence.

There’s also something think could say “DRYCHEU”. From my extensive research, sans whatever google translate claims, this word means nothing because it doesn’t exist. However, a word that does exist is “drychau” or “mirrors”. Who knows, maybe the 3 line symbol is an A for…some reason. I’m a bit iffy on this one. The second 2 letters could be a 13 leaving us with “D13” (division 13?) but that would leave us with “ICHEU”. That’s the Middle English word for gnawing or chewing but I don’t know how that would apply here. I wanna make a Middle English connection here due to the reference to Einde, but I’m probably missing something here.

On her shoes we see the word “ENIGMA”. There’s a cube that looks like a stylized E. There are many things in this world called Enimga and is probably referencing one of those, or it is just in reference to how Unika is a weirdo. That’s all.

Speaking of “that’s all” there is a thing on her jacket that says “NEWDIV”. If I had to guess, “DIV” stands for “Division” however it might also be referencing the Linkin Park song “New Divide”, however that could be pushing it as there aren’t any other references to the band in her design.

Her shirt contains what can be presumed to be an acronym, T. E. O. C, with a little swoop and a logo that is a stylized combination of the aforementioned letters. What this could stand for is unknown as of time writing although further research has made me privy to The Edge of Chaos, a theory of a transitional space between order and chaos. The same site told me it was more likely to be about French eggs. The swoop looks similar to the other swoop on the treize shirt tag(?) but upside down…maybe the T stands for “Trize”? Who knows. The “E” could mean “enigma” for all the information we have, lmao.

Also, the way she’s holding her right hand seems to be the way to signal the number “3” in Germany and American Sign Language.

The final boss of the design notes:

this hunk of text (which gets its own section) in an extremely confusing font. Thanks to the transcription subreddit, specifically the users u/rhit06 and u/hypercubane who I feel deserve the credit here, what is said can be figured out. It reads:

“Unica

Division Treize

?VYUV? ?KDBK ?

Blood type unknown”

One of those things is not like the others but I will enjoy analyzing this frame by frame line by line because there’s a lot here!

Now, when I said that we’d get back to the reasons why I focused on the word Unica 611 words ago and that time is now because yeah, on here her name is listed as “Unica”. I largely suspect that it was just a previous spelling of her name, to which they changed the “c” to a “k” because it’s cooler .

Division Treize is probably a division she belongs to, being the 13th. This is why I believe that the “div” in “new div” stands for division, along with why she has 8 combined instances and counting of the number 13.

5 more to go until her design has 13 13s. I digress, because this basically confirms that she’s working for or worked with some sort of organization.

So. “?VYUV? ?KDBK ?” Indeed. Cryptology is a hobby of mine so I got super excited because my first thought was that is was a code to decrypt. Notice how hyped is in the past tense. Around 5 combined hours over three days of actually trying and around 2 hours more of brute force attempts later and I had to swallow my pride and give up and accept that it is definitely Splatoon-style gibberish and the only one who would pull some “hidden secret code in concept art” thing is probably me.

On to something more legible, “Blood type unknown” is interesting because the only characters who have that description are usually non-human in nature, however it could just be something to add to her mysteriousness.

So keep that in mind for…the speculation station! Which…this whole thing basically was, but I digress! Here’s some theories and inferences.

Speculation Station

What is Unika?

Unika is a girl (due to the language used and her general appearance I would assume she’s around 17-20 years old but I doubt we’ll ever get any confirmation on that). Besides her 2 jackets and turtleneck (she must be extremely cozy or extremely uncomfortable in that outfit) she has bright red eyes (hidden behind goggles except when they’re not) and a blue X in her hair.

She is also mysterious.

Now she’s probably not human because if she was it would be boring, but then the question raises: what is she? I am inclined to believe that she is a gear myself (most likely connected to the scales of juno) for a few reasons.

1. She has red and black lightning attacks extremely similar (if not identical) to Sin’s

2. Dizzy and Unika share a rather similar color scheme just based off of their little portrait icons.

3. This shot of Unika looks a lot like the one seen in Missing Link before the Justice boss fight. One glowing red eye and emphasis on a blue X

4. The tagline on the website is

“2 gears turn: towards destruction, or the future”.

As we don’t know any gears who currently want to turn towards destruction and the gear turning towards the future is most likely Sin (who I think is being referenced here for reasons I’ll write of later) or Dizzy…I think who seems to be the main antagonist makes sense as the gear inclined towards destruction, especially because no other character fits that bill currently.

5. As seen above, she has red eyes which is a trait all gears (and only gears up to now) share (barring special circumstances). She also wears goggles that hide her eyes (at least she will at first) which is probably something she would do if she didn’t want people to see her eyes, I think.

Admittedly I don’t have lots of solid proof but a few smaller things like her name possibly being in reference to a word for “alone” and wanting to kill all gears for being corrupt biological weapons are all things that we’ve seen before in a previous protagonist character.

I feel like this analysis wouldn’t be complete if I did not mention that she might be the Happy Chaos Valentine which was my thought before the first trailer came out, and I was very much not alone. “Happy Chaos” was the original name for the Valentine created by Asuka to kinda do what Jack-O did for Aria but for I-No. This name was stolen by Gun Smurf Jesus and the Valentine/the fact he stole their name is mentioned exactly once in Strive’s story mode. They are currently unfinished and unawakened in the backyard.

Due to sharing a few design quirks with Asuka’s Xrd Sign design (like the hair X and sort of cat ears) and being a character that sure did exist with no other given details…I feel it’s a pretty understandable conclusion to come to considering just how little we have about them and how little information we have about Unika.

Also, she’s wearing orange and blue (Happy Chaos colors!) which I think is important. Also, you know. Edge of Chaos and shit (which I’m not confident enough to actually present as proof but I wanted to throw it out there) I will say that given that and the design similarities to Asuka if she’s not a gear, I’m betting on her being the original Chaos.

Who is Unika?

I don’t know, but she’s definitely connected to Dizzy in some way. Possibly created by whatever group “T. E. O. C” is. She might be some sort of failed attempt at a Justice or Dizzy clone? A gear created to kill other gears by a group of people who would really like to do…that and thus was cloned from one of the most powerful gears in order to create a being who could match their abilities. Either that or she’s going rouge, but I’m more inclined towards the former. This is largely based on themes and ideas brought up in past GG games however, so take it with a grain of salt (like all of this).

Why is Unika?

I think that she’ll act as a foil to Sin. It says on the website that “their meeting will shake the world” and they say the title of the show and the release date at the same time. Given Sin’s whole track record of befriending terrorists who want him, his family, and many more dead, I think that Unika won’t stay evil forever. Honestly the real evil is probably going to be whoever she’s working for (if my theory that she’s working with a group is correct).

Conclusion (Finally)

Due to Sol Badguy: Guilty Gear now being Fredrick Bulsara: Gear. We need another Guilty Gear for the title to still make sense! And with the series “main character status” being passed on to Sin who is NOT guilty, I think Unika is going to be the Guilty Gear Strive Dual Rulers.

The end and thank you for reading

Do you have a favorite dragon in the Spyro games?

Well, the obvious answer is Spyro, but if we’re talking about NPC dragons, I have a few. (I hope you know that Spyro is a long-time hyperfixation of mine, and that you have opened a dangerous can of worms.)

Delbin, Tomas, Lindar, Gildas, Astor, Gavin, Alvar, Maximos, Ivor, Ulric, Trondo, Bubba, and Lateef all have great dialogue, or at least dialogue that’s stuck with me through the years–but, of course, Cleetus takes top spot in this category. Thor gets an honorable mention, because he’s the first, “Thank you for releasing me,” dragon, so he has a special place in my heart. (Also, his voice his hilarious.)

As far as designs go, the original game’s designs were pretty bare bones, but Titan, Halvor, Ragnar, Cosmos, and Lutalo stuck out to me! Cyprin gets an honorable mention, because, hoo, is that one luxurious pose!

In Reignited, I’m judging based solely on appearances, because I’ve already covered dialogue and such–

Dragon husbandos are: Nestor, Delbin, Gavin, Gunnar, Boris, Ulric, Andor, Asher, Ragnar, Trondo, Cedric, and Bubba!

Dragons with my favorite designs are: Nestor, Delbin, Argus, Astor, Gavin, Alban, Titan, Magnus, Gunnar, Todor, Trondo, Zantor, Eldrid, Zander, Zane, Cyrus, Ajax, Lucas, Altair, Cyprin, Rosco, Isaak, Jed, Lateef, Zikomo, Kasiya, Useni, Kosoko, Copano, Unika, and Revilo!

I think I’ve covered all of them! :)

I have no idea where you live in the United States, however you may locate tremendously low-cost packages on Amtrak's Realm Builder away from Chicago, which could also permit you off straight in West Iceberg, if you purchase all of them far, much beforehand. Excluding shift, combination, and also transaction expenditures from $2.3 million as well as Whistler Blackcomb operations, Hill mentioned EBITDA raised 7.9%.

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

Annon-Guy: In regards to Crow, if he tries to kidnap Dizzy again now that she's queen, it's likely that it will end terribly for him since he would also need to deal with her family (Ky, Sol, Sin and even Jack-O', Ramlethal and Elphelt).

Would he even try to kidnap Dizzy or do you think he's given up? Especially since he's focused on Robo-Ky (the one with Venom).

P.S. Why is he obsessed with Dizzy and Robo-Ky?

He's not obsessed with Robo-Ky so much as he made the Prototype and mass production series OF Robo-Ky (which was later apparently discontinued according to Venom).

As for his obsession with Dizzy, supposedly it stems from the fact he was the one "supposedly" responsible for creating the seal that Sealed away Justice during the Crusades in 2175, and because Dizzy is a "reproduction" of Justice as a kind of genetic copy of her.

Though, rumors abound that have yet to be confirmed concerning Crow Kuruwaba, some of which suggest he has connections with Happy Chaos and the Universal Will.

There's also rumors that Dizzy was created as a "clone" of Justice BY Crow himself... though that can't exactly be fully confirmed either.

As of GGXX, Dizzy requested that Ky try and find any clues about her "true family" as much as he could, but there was no full indication of what the results of that search were...

For now at least, Sol is something of a "surrogate father" to Dizzy, if not fully a genetic one. And she still considers Justice to be her "mother" for all intents and purposes (even if Jack-O' and the original Valentine are closer to "sisters" to Dizzy by relation, by extension Ramlethal and Elphelt would be "cousins" to Sin since they're an extended generation beyond the first Valentine).

The Sanctus Populi's Senato a.k.a. Conclave's own Axus once tried to use Dizzy as a bargaining chip to control Ky politically behind the scenes, but the end result forced Ky to assassinate Axus to protect his family.

As for what happened to Crow... most likely Millia either ousted him when she became the leader of P.W.A.B. in the reformation, or he somehow escaped and is on the lam. This was during the shakeup that disbanded the Assassins Syndicate as well.

In Xrd's events, Robo Ky made no mention of Crow, though I doubt he has any interest in getting involved with Crow, since he hates the man for manipulating him and his comrades, among other reasons.

So Crow is probably either a loose end that hasn't been dealt with, or the P.W.A.B. put a bounty on his head for War Crimes (if they haven't dealt with him already).

Anji Mito claims that he knows him from "somewhere" though he hasn't confirmed anything, and Baiken once stated Crow was a "traitor" to her people (and Slayer says he was once a doctor, similar to Faust, though not much else is known beyond that.)

Last but not least, Crow has some kind of rivalry with Johnny that was never fully explained, only that Johnny's master and teacher kicked Crow out of their Dojo and he ended up in Dimensional Prison for a time.

Crow DID say that so long as Ky hangs out with Gears that they WOULD meet again one day... but somehow I doubt anyone would let someone like Crow anywhere near the Royal Family, as pure security detail. Not even Goldlewis would let somebody like him set foot on Illyrian Soil, let alone American Soil.

I don't think Asuka R. Kreutz would allow someone with Gear knowledge like Crow roam around for very long either.

Anyways, that's all we know for now... he could appear in the future though, so you never know these things. He might even have connections with Unika for all we know!
