That's some crazy shit with Sin going berserk this episode. He could've easily destroyed himself.

There's also some time traveling elements in all this drama. Interesting to see Baiken getting some action in this though.

This is so annoying to see—that after Sin was shot by Sol with the same thing that can kill his mother and even him, he was alright, and all the bullet did was burn up Sin's magic all at once. Not sure what kind of plot they’re serving, but they sure did.

Not sure how Nerville can call himself a god when the dude looks like a freaking alien. So much for being a god when his clone can be defeated with a single strike to the heart.

@phantomfandom I'm starting to feel lost, but maybe because I never played the games.

I love and hate how Nerville says that Sol is basically smouldering ash at this point. Makes me feel that Sol will really hang it up by the end of the show. He's been portrayed as getting tired from every fight and starts breathing heavy every time. I really don't know what a Guilty Gear game without Sol would even look like, but I think it would be pretty sad.

I've been wondering if Unika might have to return back to her timeline by the end of all this. Nerville said that only one of the same person can exist in any given time line. So I'm thinking if the Unika we get in the Strive game is the one from the current time line all grown up now. That would be kind of weird though because it would mean the game would have to have a multi year time skip to have it make sense?

Can I just say I think this EP was def on par with Sin’s fight against Unika ngl. Sin deadass nearly destroyed himself going Beserk and was fighting his demons. I found it wholesome everyone was concerned for him when he went beserk. Because they thought the same thing: He’s the only guy that can save the world and they didn’t want him to die.

This crazy villain is way cooler than lame-ass Happy Chaos lol

I was expecting Unika to be Sin's sister, she got the black hair from Sol (grandfather) and the blue hair stripes from Dizzy (mother).
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

So 2 episodes passed since ep 4, and I still need to know if Bridget's gender is overt. Issss it? Anything about Bridget talking about identity? I would really like to see a change, it would make this anime so worth it to me.

Nothing overt really. In episode 5, she told Unika about how through meeting other people she’s been able to figure out who she is better. I think that’s the most we’re gonna get in this and it also calls back to her arcade mode in Strive where she says something pretty similar.

Darn it, I suppose Bridget may be left as a confusing mess for all time. How unfortunate. But thank you for mentioning.
