By This sounds great.
Arc System Works America, Inc., in partnership with Sanzigen Studios, today at Anime Expo 2024 revealed the synopsis, main cast, and teaser trailer for the upcoming “GUILTY GEAR STRIVE: DUAL RULERS” anime series, premiering in 2025!
Series Synopsis: 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. 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.
Along with a compelling, action-packed story for fans, the upcoming “GUILTY GEAR STRIVE: DUAL RULERS” anime series will feature original voice cast members from the acclaimed GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- video game, including Miyazaki Issei and Jouji Nakata returning to voice the characters Sin Kiske and Sol Badguy, respectively, and introduce Yui Ishikawa as the mysterious girl, Unika.
Those in attendance at Anime Expo 2024 were also treated to a special panel event that unveiled the new series teaser trailer showing the main character of the Guilty Gear series, Sol Badguy, as well as the mysterious girl, Unika, clashing against Sin Kiske.
