Guilty Gear/Characters


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.

Tropes exhibited by Anji Mito include:


Venom

Voiced by Mikio Yaeda (X-XX), Junichi Suwabe (Accent Core)

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 Plus, 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.

Tropes exhibited by Venom include:
  • Blinding Bangs: It's really hard to see his eyes anywhere except for official artwork. They're easier to see in Xrd, though when they appear, it's usually for a few seconds at most.
  • Blood Knight: In one of his endings in Accent Core Plus, 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 Plus 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.
  • Invisible to Gaydar: Confirmed by Word of God.
  • 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 Plus, he tells her the reason he hasn't killed her yet is due to Zato's feelings for her.
  • 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 Plus 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.
  • Straight Gay: Presents no stereotypical gay traits and in fact, if it wasn't for his obsession with Zato popping up from time to time the audience don't would know better since he manifests no attraction to other males.
  • 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.

Tropes exhibited by Johnny include:


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.

Tropes exhibited by Jam Kuradoberi include:

"HWO! Kuradoberi Jam, tadaima tanjou aru!"/"HWO! Kuradoberi Jam, now appears!"

  • Fan Service with a Smile: She's BOTH the cook AND the waitress (and the dishwasher) of her restaurant.
  • Genki Girl: Bright, energetic and headstrong.
  • Kiai: Has quite a few loud shouts during most of her moves.
  • Ki Attacks: Notable as one of the three characters in the series that explicitly uses them (Chipp and Kliff are the other two). The ability is so rare that the PWAB cites it as a reason to pay at least some attention to her.
  • Kick Chick: Though not to the point of being an Extremity Extremist, a lot of her moves involve kicks in some way or another, particularly the three that she can power up using her Breath of Asanagi technique.
  • Lady in Red
  • Noblewoman's Laugh: During her throw.
  • Older Is Better: Jam has a potential to become very powerful too, as Slayer said that given enough time, she can surpass him.
  • Panty Shot: Several, but most prominent in her win poses.
  • Plucky Girl: When the girl's got something in her mind, she will not stop in her pursuit of said goal.
  • Rapunzel Hair: And holy shit, HOW!
  • She Fu
  • She's Got Legs: Strong, beautiful, shapely ones.
  • Ship Tease: With Ky. And Bridget, actually; they appear in one another's Accent Core endings, with Bridget waitressing in her restaurant.
  • Shotacon: See above vis a vis Bridget.
  • The Last of These Is Not Like the Others: She is the only character which is dubbed in broken japanese, with a stereotypical chinese accent. It is never explained what languages everyone is using to communicate, though it's likely english given their european ethnicities, but nobody else has any accent or grammar problems, making Jam stand out dramatically.

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 and Testament, whereupon the latter agrees to give up his guardianship to the former.

In Accent Core Plus, 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.


Tropes exhibited by Dizzy include:

(To Ky Kiske): "And I didn't want this power in the first place!"
