The story of the game takes place around the year 2180, in a chaotic, mystical future world. In 2010, mankind discovered an unlimited energy source of incredible power, which was fittingly labeled as Magic. Even with the various energy problems solved, however, wars still continued. With the power of Magic and science, living weapons known as "Gears" were created. These Gears eventually [[Turned Against Their Masters]], beginning a century-long global war known as the Crusades where the Sacred Order of Holy Knights, fighting for the human race, was able to defeat Justice, the leader of the Gears. Justice was locked away in a dimensional prison, and all other Gears seemingly ceased to function, bringing an end to the Crusades.
In the first game, set five years after the end of the war, a Gear named Testament hatched a plan to free Justice. In response to this threat, the United Nations began a fighting tournament in order to find fighters who would be able to defeat Testament and Justice. Ultimately, the immortal [[Bounty Hunter]] Sol Badguy brought down Justice again, and an uneasy peace began.

* [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke]]: The ''Guilty Gear'' universe is an aftermath of the said scientific (magical) innovation. Gears are biological weapons that were powerful enough to stand against humans for a hundred years and had almost pushed humanity into extinction in the
* [[Genre Busting]]: ''Overture''. It combines Hack n Slash with [[Real Time Strategy]], and is inspired by ''[[Defense of the Ancients
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: Towards Gears and the Japanese in general. Ky also gets involved, though he is a victim.
* [[Gratuitous English]]
** The "SLASH!" that punctuates a KO may qualify, given that it doesn't matter what kind of attack lands the finishing blow.
* [[Humans Are Flawed]]
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]
* [[Invulnerable Attack]]
* [[I Want My Jetpack]]: The series has a backstory starting in 2010...
* [[Jump Physics]]: Everyone can double jump, save Chipp, who can triple jump. In addition, there are mid-air dashes.
* [[Ki Attacks]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: With the exception of ''Guilty Gear
* [[Magi Babble]]: Comprises roughly 90% of ''Guilty Gear 2'''s dialogue.
* [[Magic A Is Magic A]]: Buried in [[Magi Babble]] is many rules and guide lines of how magic was discovered and how it's used in the ''Guilty Gear'' universe, such as The Twelve Steps and The Backyard from which the world's "source code" can be played with to create magic.
* [[Magic Knight]]s: The members of Sacred Order that includes Sol and Ky.
* [[Mirror Match]]: Even has three theme tunes for this: "Fatal Duel", "Nothing Out Of The Ordinary" and "Ditto!".
* [[Mouth Flaps]]:
* [[Natural Spotlight]]
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]
* [[Nintendo Hard]]
** Note that Gold Sol already has regeneration and boosted speed and attack. His attack and speed is boosted even ''[[Up to Eleven|further]]'' because he's in permanent Dragon Install.
* [[Non-Lethal KO]]:
* [[Open Secret]]: The creators provide many examples of this. From the way the series progressed, secrets are revealed and by the rational mind of the audience, some things are just too obvious even if they aren't officially declared yet.
* [[Our Monsters Are Different]]
* [[Panty Shot]]
* [[Press X to Not Die]]: How to avoid getting [[
* [[Put on a Bus]]: In a large scale example, most of the original cast save Sol, Ky, That Man, and choice others are nowhere to be seen during the events of ''Overture''. However...
** [[The Bus Came Back]]: A good chunk of them returned in form in ''Xrd'', either in playable form or in Story Mode roles (
* [[Puzzle Boss]]
* [[Random Power Ranking]]
* [[Role Reprisal]]: While the dub of ''Xrd'' changed all of the voice actors for the returning characters, [[Michael McConnohie]] returned to reprise his role as Dr. Paradigm in the game's Story mode.
* [[Rubber Band History]] - A future where Ky is ''dead''.▼
** While many of the Japanese voices of ''Xrd'' characters were changed (especially for those formerly voiced by one-time VA's like Chipp and Jam), apparently, Kazue Fujita still stays for Dizzy in ''Xrd -REVELATOR-''.
* [[Ruins of the Modern Age]]: In some stages.
* [[Rule of Symbolism]]
** One can also reminded about a certain messiah when Dizzy's identity is examined. She is called the "hope of the world beyond my expectations" by That Man, celebrates her birthday on December 25, has 12 female friends in the Jellyfish and has a dual nature by being [[Half-Human Hybrid|both Human and Gear...]]
* [[Scenery Gorn]]: The
* [[Schizo-Tech]]
* [[Science Is Bad]]: Technology is branded as "Black Tech" and is banned for destroying nature. People used magic instead but eventually, also abused it.
* [[Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains]]
** Also, [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|Dizzy is the kindest, most innocent character]] in the series, but she wears the [[Underboobs|skim]][[Bare Your Midriff|pie]][[Mini-Dress of Power|st]] [[Stocking Filler|out]][[Thong of Shielding|fit
** As of
* [[The Seven Mysteries]]
* [[Shout-Out]]
* [[Speed Stripes]]:
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]:
** Ditto ''Xrd'''s announcer, who has several lines of perfectly pronounced English, such as "Who dares to enter the mayhem?".
* [[Theme Naming]]
* [[Title Drop]]: The Guilty Gear is none other than
* [[The Tokyo Fireball]]
* [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe]]:
* [[True Companions]]
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The series is particularly notorious for this, almost rivalling the ''Street Fighter'' series for how many revisions one of its games has had, though some other games have had one or two.
** There's been ''Guilty Gear X Plus'', [[No Export for You|which was Japan only]] and featured, amongst other things, the shadow and gold versions of everyone, Kliff and Justice as playable characters, a Mission mode and Story mode, further fleshing out
** ''Guilty Gear XX'' is particularly infamous for this, having 5 available versions.
*** The first was ''#Reload'', which doubled the amount of Missions from 50 to 100, as well as featuring a new, improved and rebalanced version of Robo-Ky with a completely different moveset, as well as some balance tweaks.
*** The next was ''Slash'', which was [[No Export for You|Japan-only]]. This version altered several characters' movesets, several of the stages were largely altered (
*** The fourth version was ''Accent Core'', which managed an overseas release and also featured Order-Sol and A.B.A, marking their overseas debut leading to a slight [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros]] effect for the former. This version changed the interface on a larger scale (
*** ''Accent Core Plus'', which re-inserted Story mode (
**And now ''Xrd'' follows in the footsteps of its predecessors with ''Xrd -REVELATOR-''. Revealed thus far are the [[The Bus Came Back|return of Johnny to the playable cast]], a new character named Jack-O, the possible removal of [[Scrappy Mechanic|Danger Time]], and other miscellaneous changes.
* [[Weapons Grade Vocabulary]]: Kliff Undersn's taunt creates physical letters, which bounce across the screen and inflict some damage. Knockouts with this in tournament play have become a particularly humiliating form of [[Cherry Tapping]].
* [[Wham! Episode]]
* [[World of Badass]]
