    Hey its been a while for one of these! So lets dive into Jack-O's lore why not!? As always got timestamps so say you already know her gameplay throughout the various games, why not skip right to the lore? Jack-O's whole arc is certainly an odd one to say the least. The Ultimate bro move? Or horrific trashfire that cost millions of lives? As always these videos are out of the usual wheelhouse so I normally don't ask but I would sincerely appreciate any likes/shares you guys could give, thank you!

    Can also be summarized as " Asuka spends 200 years as the Devil because he's a good wingman."
  • @JackDeSilver
    Jack-o in a nutshell: Girl who needs candy to survive but can never survive because she has died like like 4 times
  • @magicmark3588
    You telling me guilty gear was just the most over the top wingman story...
  • @KurtHoorah
    Guilty Gear’s story is literally the ravings of a mad man
  • @0g00n8
    Asuka is probably one of if not the best wingman you can get. Dude literally 100% ensures you that you can get toghether with ur dead gf
  • "Your girlfriend had a crappy immune system, but was a BRILLIANT scientist!" - Asuka
  • @Wolfedge75
    I can’t believe Jack-O’s been around for 6 years. To me she still felt like a recent addition to the GG cast. I feel like an old man.
  • @ssj4922
    Jack-Os ending with Sol where she accepts herself as an individual that's allowed to pursue happiness is very sweet and probably my favourite resolution that came out of Strive's story mode, I hope we see more moments of them and with their family in non Earth threatening scenarios.
  • @octosage2861
    The fact sol stopping jack-o from sacrificing herself and forcing the "hard mode" path to deal with i-no because he finally got his girl back and absolutely refuses to repeat the whole Wife gone. Think about wife. Regret. Phases is the most sol thing ever alongside him not really caring if it's aria or jack-o is why they deserve their happy ending.
  • @marche800
    I'm so glad Fred Flintstones gets to be with his Fruity Pebble.
  • Asuka was so dedicated to not physically third wheeling the homie took an express trip the to moon.
  • Actually, Sol is still a Gear but lost the source of his powers (“the seed”) making him less powerful than he was throughout the series. He even said it himself that he’s not fully human.
  • @GreatRaijin
    I appreciate that you actually follow lore of fighting games, not alot of people like to do that and disregard fighting game lore in general, guilty gear is a little more complex but you seem to have it down. Respect my man!
  • @sibanbgd100
    So the plot of the Guilty Gear, as a whole, is to use space magic many many times so Sol can stay monogamous while having 2 wives? NICE
  • @ragna6410
    Sol can be happy that she is his Wife. I want to see them with there daughter Dizzy. A family reunion.
  • @phdbot4483
    My time spent learning Guilty Gear's lore has prepared me for this! It's amazing how far Frederick and Aria have come; with Frederick being turned to Sol Badguy by Asuka/"That Man" and, towards the end of Strive, reverted back to Frederick by the same person; while Aria became Justice, and would later have her soul fused with Jack-o Valentine, so that they would both would be able to reunite after over 100 years! ^^

    "Your father was a brilliant scientist" Vegeta to Goku This is all I could think of when hearing about Frederick Douglas.
  • @GhengisJohn
    To be fair, Asuka does say some of the stuff we have associated with him was done by happychaos and the crusades were never part of the plan. That was the universal will having a bit of a laugh. Still though, looking at Jack-O I think you could make the argument it was all worth it.
  • @P_OmSa
    Aria : I won't do cryostasis, I'm dying. Asuka : How about I make it so that Fred's alive when you wake up. Aria : Alright! Asuka (to himself): OK, I could just tell Fred about this and put him in cryostasis as well, OR... I could just turn him into an immortal monster without any explanation or his informed consent so he both develops a seething hatred of me and is alive when Aria wakes up... yeah, definitely the latter's the better idea. Turns Fred into a gear, all hell brakes loose Asuka (to himself): The US government wants to use gears for war... I could simply not help them, OR... I wake Aria up, turn her into a gear like Fred (which nearly drove him crazy) AND give her control over ALL gears EVERYWHERE. What could possibly go wrong? yeah, definitely the latter's the better idea. Turns Aria into Justice, humanity is nearly wiped off the face of the Earth Asuka : OK, but Fred and Aria are both alive and (kinda) happy! Fred kills Aria Also, turns out Aria had been pregnant for a 100 years and decided to lay her egg before being killed, out of which came Dizzy Asuka : Alright, given my record here, I could just leave it at that, OR... *Jack-O*!
