What happens in the Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers trailer?
The trailer highlights what fans can expect from the new action-packed anime series which will center around the conflict between humans and biological weapons called Gears. The anime adaptation is directed by Shigeru Morikawa from a script written by Noritmitsu Kaiho, with Seiji Mizushima serving as an associate producer. It features the voices of Issei Miyazaki as Sin Kiske, Jouji Nakata as Sol Badguy, Yui Ishikawa as Unika, and Tomokazu Sugita as the narrator.
“After the decline of the once robust fields of science and technology, a new energy source known as magic fuels the modern era. Humanity creates forbidden biological weapons: Gears. Those Gears eventually stand against humanity in a rebellion,” reads the official synopsis. “Although they manage to overcome in the struggle for survival known as the Crusades, humanity’s losses are so great that even after several decades pass, their emotional wounds remain unable to fully heal. Sin Kiske, the child of a human and a Gear, heads to his father Ky and mother Dizzy’s wedding ceremony. Their wedding breaks the ultimate taboo: a union between a human and a Gear. Even with the world at peace, it took many years for such a ceremony to come to fruition. Despite the complex array of emotions surrounding it, the wedding ceremony is met with blessings. When suddenly, a mysterious girl appears…The fated child inheriting Gear blood–and the mysterious girl who despises Gears. Their meeting would shake the world.”
The original video game was created by Daisuke Ishiwatari in 1998. It is now described as a critically acclaimed fighting game franchise, which features refined gameplay mechanics, stunning animation, and a roster of unique characters. It has already surpassed 3 million players globally.
