Guilty Gear/Characters/X

Here we're going to list the characters introduced in Guilty Gear X and its Updated Rereleases.

The Captain Ersatz, Expy, "No Celebrities Were Harmed", Mythology Gags, Continuity Nods and Shout-Out references go here.

Anji Mito
"Voiced by: Toru Igarashi"

"Anji is a cheerful, knowledge-hungry Japanese man fueled by curiosity, especially about Gears. His main objective is to meet with That Man and learn more about Gears, as well as escaping from the colony the Japanese are being held in since he feels like a bird in a gilded cage. Is acquainted with Baiken from childhood and has a crush on her of sorts."


 * Berserk Button: Calling him a pronoun with older connotations (like Oji-san or Pops), as May finds out.
 * Blow You Away: He uses the Zessen, the Outrage that amplifies wind magic.
 * Bodyguard Crush: Sorta, towards Baiken. Though she doesn't exactly need his protection, being a very strong Action Girl already.
 * Boisterous Bruiser
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Estrogen Brigade Bait
 * Face Heel Turn: Only on the basis that he sides with . Otherwise, he hasn't changed that much, he just happens to work for the Big Bad.
 * Heel Face Turn: In the same game, even. One moment he meets, he decided that it's not worth being with if it risks killing , so he quits. While this was considered a Bad End for Anji, this is considered a Good End for Baiken, so we may not know which one will be canon.
 * Fun Personified: Always cheerful and laid-back.
 * Improbable Weapon User: Uses his fans.
 * The Jimmy Hart Version: His theme song, "Fuuga", compared to Motley Crue's Live Wire.
 * Megane
 * Paper Fan of Doom: His weapons, taken from the Outrage set created by Sol. His fans are named Zessen.
 * Parasol of Pain: His secondary weapon is a Japanese parasol.
 * Stupid Sexy Anji: No matter how many fanboys deny it.
 * Tall, Dark and Handsome
 * Vain Sorceress: A male, more benign version. He greatly dislikes the idea of growing old and dying, but doesn't seek out destruction and mayhem while trying to reverse that.
 * Walking Shirtless Scene: All the time.

Venom
"Voiced by: Mikio Yaeda (X-XX), Junichi Suwabe (AC)"

"Zato-ONE's most loyal follower. Like Millia, Venom was an orphan who was taken in by the Guild. Since then he has been fanatically devoted to Zato. After Zato dies, Venom seeks to preserve his legacy. His plans are put in jeopardy when Slayer attempts to disband the Guild, forcing Venom to fight him for its leadership. Slayer purposefully loses, and Venom becomes the new leader. It's revealed in Accent Core +, however, that keeping Zato's name alive through the Guild isn't making him as content as he thought it would and he decides finally taking revenge against Millia is the best course of action."


 * Blinding Bangs
 * Blood Knight: In one of his endings in Accent Core +, he decides to wage war against the PWAB. His reasoning? "I just felt like picking a fight."
 * Break Up to Make Up: One of his Accent Core + endings.
 * Corrupt the Cutie: The Guild almost executed him when he was a child for refusing to hurt others and being too kind. He is now their leader.
 * Dark Skinned White-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Improbable Weapon User: He uses a pool cue and balls; considering his profession, this actually makes sense as an assassin's weapon.
 * I Owe You My Life: The source of his devotion to Zato-ONE, who saved him from death when he was a young boy.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
 * Mocked for this when he loses to Eddie, who is using the body of his beloved, adding to the humiliation.
 * In one of his pre-battle quotes against Millia in Accent Core +, he tells her the reason he hasn't killed her yet is due to Zato's feelings for her.
 * The Jimmy Hart Version: His theme song, "A Solitude That Asks Nothing in Return" compared to Napalm Death's "Breed to Breathe".
 * Love Martyr: To insane lengths. As of note, he has: murdered dozens of people, followed every order given regardless of his personal beliefs, has almost been killed multiple times, spent who-knows how much of his own time searching for Zato despite Millia and members of the Guild trying to stop him, convinced the Guild's founder to pass over control rather than disband it, and rebuilt it in less than five years all for someone he knows had feelings for someone else.
 * The Mourning After: Even with Zato dead, Venom seems hellbent on spending the rest of his life building up the Guild in the man's memory.
 * Murder the Hypotenuse: Subverted. For as much as he despises Millia, the only attempt on her life he made while Zato was still alive was when he had been ordered to by Zato himself. It wasn't until after Zato's death that he became adamant about taking her down for personal reasons.
 * Pure Is Not Good: Venom was a very kind child, but because of his love for Zato he's done anything for him. He doesn't do anything for himself nor do things that isn't for Zato's sake or memory.
 * Shotacon: Alluded to in his Accent Core +  ending, where he becomes a pool hustler and takes in a blonde young boy who looks exactly like Zato and is named Eddie. Not to mention the boy may be Bridget's missing twin older brother from his ending.
 * Stealth Pun: He's gay and plays with a stick and balls. Not so subtle now, is it?
 * Stockholm Syndrome: Venom was saved by Zato when he was young. Though from a mere savior figure, Zato became his Love Interest.
 * Invisible to Gaydar: Confirmed by Word of God.
 * Tyke Bomb: Like Millia, he was raised from an orphanage funded by the Assassins and then got picked when he was probably older.
 * Yandere: Arguably, a male example. He continues to be in love with Zato, and wants to kill Eddie to let him rest in peace. He wants to kill Millia because she betrayed their organization and his adopted father. That it's personal makes Venom more driven than most, but he has legitimate reasons to hate Millia and she is aware of this.
 * Yes-Man

Johnny
"Voiced by: Norio Wakamoto"

"The captain of the almost all-female Jellyfish Pirates. In X, he fights for the bounty on Dizzy, but gives the reward money to Jam. He then takes Dizzy in as part of his crew."


 * Accidental Pervert: To Bridget.
 * Badass: Oh so much.
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Chivalrous Pervert

 * Even the Guys Want Him: Subverted in Bridget, who doesn't know better because he's Just a Kid.
 * Fingerless Gloves
 * Gentleman Thief: Erm, pirate.
 * Iaijutsu Practitioner
 * Impossibly Cool Clothes
 * Lovable Sex Maniac: Sometimes taken to extreme lengths.
 * Rule of Cool
 * McSamurai: Probably the only American to use Iaido, one of the most Badass swordfighting techniques of all time, which only the baddest of asses can use effectively.
 * Say My Name: Not a literal example of the trope, but his super attack slashes the opponent in the form of a large burning J, which then explodes. The attack is called "This is My Name."
 * Screw the Rules, I Have Money: Money that powers up his charged sword slash attack 3 levels to do enough damage as a single Overdrive move.
 * Screw the Rules, I Have Connections: With the Holy Knights.
 * Stupid Sexy Flanders
 * Walking Shirtless Scene
 * Walking Shirtless Scene

Jam Kuradoberi
"Voiced by: Manami Komori"

"A Chinese martial artist and aspiring chef. In X she gets the reward money and finally opens up her restaurant...which gets burned down in XX by Robo-Ky."

""HWO! Kuradoberi Jam, tadaima tanjou aru!" / "HWO! Kuradoberi Jam, now appears!""
 * Action Girl
 * Bruce Lee Clone
 * Chef of Iron: Her dream is to become a restaurateur and several of her endings involve her cooking skills. Especially the one with Ky. And she still kicks ass.
 * Chinese Girl: One of the examples who uses the stereotypical "-aru" Verbal Tic.
 * Cute but Cacophonic: Oh dear God.
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Dynamic Entry: One of Jam's intros, of course.


 * Fan Service with a Smile
 * Genki Girl
 * Ki Attacks

 * Shotacon: See above vis a vis Bridget.

Dizzy
"Voiced by: Kazue Fujita"

"A half-human, half-Gear. Dizzy lived peacefully with her adopted family for 3 years. During this time, she grew faster than normal humans to the point where she looked around 16 years old. She also grew wings and a tail, singling her out as a Gear. To avoid conflict, her adoptive parents left her at a small grove known as the Devil's Living Place, where a newly-conscious Testament found her and became infatuated with her. Dizzy brought out some of Testament's lost humanity, which he was grateful for, and he decided to become her guardian. Together they lived in peace at the grove for about 3 months."

"That is, until word got out of her Gear nature. A bounty was immediately placed on her head for 500,000 world dollars, and many challengers set out to defeat her and claim their reward. All of them fell before Testament until Sol Badguy appeared and defeated him once again. Afterwards, he fought Dizzy and defeated her as well. Sol decided not to kill her and left, leaving the reward money to Jam Kuradoberi. Ky Kiske eventually rescued her and entrusted her to Johnny, captain of the Jellyfish Pirates, who took her in as part of his crew, made up entirely of young women. It was there that she became good friends with May, and finally found a family she could call her own."

"Her peace was once again disturbed about a week later, when a strange woman in red attacked the Jellyfish Pirates' ship. Upon seeing the chaos she brought, Dizzy pleaded with the woman to end her nonsense, but instead she got knocked off of the ship and lost consciousness. During this time, she was controlled by Necro, one of her 2 inner persona embedded within her wings. This is what allowed her to survive. She eventually regains consciousness when Sol stops her uncontrollable rampage. She is later found by Johnny & Testament, whereupon the latter agrees to give up his guardianship to the former."

"In Accent Core + she yearns to know more about the world around her. During this time her power goes out of control again due to the Post-War Administration Bureau's meddling and she is stopped by Ky and Johnny. Johnny decides to leave her in Ky's care, and in her ending, she is shown sleeping on a book-laden desk as Ky watches."

"It is heavily implied in Overture and confirmed in 10th Memorial Book that, during the Time Skip, she becomes the Maiden of the Grove, Ky marries her and she gives birth to Sin. Due to Valentine's mad search for the key, however, poor Dizzy begins to fade from existence because of Valentine's ability to sublimate Gears. To save her from her fate, Ky sacrifices his Fuuraiken sword to freeze her in time. Momma's Boy that he is, Sin eagerly awaits the day when he can see his mother again, and at first hates his father for failing to completely save her."

"(To Ky Kiske): "And I didn't want this power in the first place!""
 * Actual Pacifist--> Technical Pacifist
 * Apologetic Attacker: She's a Technical Pacifist and a Wide-Eyed Idealist, and is always horrified at the levels of violence her sentient wings (long story, don't ask) can inflict, and thus is always apologizing at her victims or begging for her wings to stop.
 * Badass Damsel: In one ending in Midnight Carnival, Dizzy horribly kills I-No when she can't take her abuse anymore.
 * Beware My Stinger Tail: (It can trip your feet, stab you or turn into a dinosaur head)
 * Beware the Nice Ones: DON'T EVER push Dizzy to her limit or else that's probably the last thing you'll do.
 * Blessed with Suck: Her very protective and powerful wings were probably the one of the main reasons why she's being targeted, even though she had them to protect herself from harm in the first place.
 * Break the Cutie: So many attempts, yet most, if not all, have failed.
 * Breast Expansion: Compare her official art from GGX to GGXX, Judgement and Accent Core. Her breasts gets larger every game.
 * Her sprite is consistent though.
 * Cloning Blues: In one of AC+ 's endings where she is captured by Crow, there are several Dizzy clones of various ages floating in capsules. Was possibly born this way (blame the plotholes).
 * Cross-Popping Veins: Dizzy's taunt has her spirit buddies doing exactly this.
 * Damsel in Distress: Deconstructed because Dizzy is more powerful than her guardians, Testament, Johnny and Ky. The "rescuing" is more like calming her down when her power goes out of control. Dizzy hates violence with passion so the experience of unintentionally attempting to kill people is traumatizing. If you listen to her in-game quotes, it seems that her power inflicts physical pain. In short, Dizzy needs to be rescued from herself.
 * Dizzy I Am Your Mother: Word of God confirms that Justice is indeed Dizzy's mom.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: As I-no will attest.
 * Hair Decorations: She even put a ribbon on her tail.
 * Famous Ancestor: She is the daughter of Justice.
 * Friend to All Living Things (Most evident in GGX.)
 * Girlish Pigtails: Her signature hairstyle, though we see her hair let down in some extra artwork.
 * Glass Cannon: Besides her low defense, she easily gets dizzied by her opponents.
 * Good Wings, Evil Wings: She has both, Necro and Undine. They are very, very unique and examples of...
 * Cognizant Limbs
 * Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Undine is the kind, motherly wing while Necro is the violent, destructive wing.
 * Female Angel, Male Demon: How her wings, who are actually both her guardians, manifested themselves.
 * Good Angel, Bad Angel: They are very protective of her but Necro takes this to extremes when he possesses her. Dizzy even pleads to her wings not kill anybody.
 * Jekyll and Hyde: She and her light wing, Undine, are nice. Necro, on the other hand...
 * Yin-Yang Bomb: Subverted: Her two wings have separate purposes. Necro, her dark wing, is used mostly on offense. Undine, on the other hand uses ice for her attacks, her shield and even carries Dizzy when she faints, like a mother. The two are seen to be arguing with each other and never seen working together.
 * Hair Colors
 * Half-Human Hybrid
 * I Just Want to Be Normal: She's perfectly happy with the Jellyfish pirates and hates fighting. She can't.


 * I Just Want to Have Friends- In GGX. It was granted.
 * Implied Love Interest: Testament's selflessness towards her is evident in GGX and GGXX. But then Accent Core shows Ky Kiske getting close to her in which official materials and the events of Overture support.
 * The Ingenue: Subverted by her desire for knowledge but played straight in the innocent part. Though many of her opponents tell her how scary her power can be, some were disappointed because they fought a "child" or would scold her for crying.
 * Interspecies Romance: With, a sinful mix of May–December Romance and Mayfly-December Romance.
 * Innocent Fanservice Girl
 * Jail Bait: Subverted, her age maybe three but she's 20 years old in maturity.
 * Kamehame Hadoken: Her Gamma Ray
 * Little Black Dress: One of her pre-fight animations in Guilty Gear X.
 * Morality Chain: To Testament. He even vowed to destroy humanity when Dizzy get killed in one ending of GGXX.
 * Nigh Invulnerability:
 * She fell off the Mayship a thousand feet from the air and survived, of course, with Necro's help.Also, in the Drama CD's, the Mayship itself tries to kill her by being a suicide bomb but failed.
 * But what's ironic is that, her health bar in the game is miserable.
 * Not Herself: Necro possesses her from time to time.
 * Not as You Know Them: She appears in the alternate timeline drama CD's...except she's an evil bitch just like her mother, Justice, having been broken way too much.
 * Official Couple: With Ky
 * Only Friend: To Testament
 * Person of Mass Destruction
 * Perpetual Molt
 * Phlebotinum Girl: She fails to realize this as she was raised by very kind humans parents and she is lucky to meet geniunely good people. However, the Alternate Universe isn't very kind.
 * Power Incontinence: Sometimes we wonder if her guardians are more worried about her killing her opponents than her getting hurt.
 * The Reveal: The cutscene in Overture where we learn that the "Key" Valentine is looking for who might be, is actually.
 * Sailor Fuku: What she is wearing if she's not in her battle outfit.
 * Ship Tease: Depending on interpretations from X and XX, she's been teased with Testament, Bridget, and finally, with Ky in their endings in Accent Core.
 * Shy Blue-Haired Girl: She's not exactly shy but just afraid of humans and the authorities. She fits the friendly trait however.
 * SNK Boss: In XX, she has a CPU-only Instant Kill disguised as a normal super, where she emits waves of light from her body, which leads us to...
 * Stripperific: During the aforementioned Instant Kill, Dizzy is completely naked. The white light around herself covers up the sexy parts, though.
 * As long as she's not in her Sailor Fuku, Her battle outfit fits this to a tee...
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Combat Stilettos
 * Mini-Dress of Power
 * Stocking Filler
 * Thigh-High Boots
 * Thong of Shielding: She has one under the short flap that covers her butt.
 * Underboobs
 * Zettai Ryouiki
 * Split Personality Takeover: What made Dizzy survive thousands of feet of fall, Fighting From the Inside ensues.
 * Super-Powered Evil Side: Necro Install. Subverted because it's more of a Demonic Possession or a Split Personality Takeover
 * Who Wears Short Shorts?: Compared to her Jellyfish buddies, her shorts is the shortest.
 * Winged Humanoid
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair
 * Younger Than They Look (She's only 3 years old but looks about 20.)
