Because of how abrupt her death was in comparison to Nova and Asimov/Demerzel and how she'd already cheated death once (twice if you count the spinoff), I thought that's what they would be going for in GV3, but she was just dead.

Why did they make the first designs so similar? I know the green hair version was a last minute change. I think green was the better choice as it compliments the rest of the colors while pink just makes everything blend in too much.

The GV3 characters are fun, especially compared to the usual characters you get in jump and shoot games, they're just a step-down from past Gunvolt games. Even then, Kirin and ZED's banter is more interesting than GV and Copen's banter, which is responding to clowns with variations of you are disgusting and irredeemable, and I will send you to join your friends in hell.

And it's really only with stuff found outside the games that elevate most GV1 and GV2 characters anyway, otherwise you at best just get some vague hints that there's something deeper.
>>
>>571653521
It works for the grimdark atmosphere of the games and how GV is characterized. GV refuses to engage with silliness and becomes angrier when a quirk character refuses to take something deathly serious seriously. Teseo and Ghauri are two people he is happy to kill for this reason, despite Teseo doing a net good on his level and not even killing anyone. He hates silly people.
>>
>>571653521
Zed's personality boils down go Gary Stu (probably to mirror Kirin) and none of the characters had the impact the old ones had despite all of them havingnway more in-game dialogue to work with, probably has to do with everyone just phoning it in in the collab phase after they got sick of GV series with the ending of GV2.

ZED is just Nova without the lab torture background (or maybe he was, we don't know). He's also an adept supremacist. He'd be the Eden rep if this took place during the GV1/GV2 timeframe, like Kirin is the Sumeragi viewpoint. Also, Kirin does admit that Sumeragi is flawed and needs to be changed in the DLC thanks to talking to ZED, and seeing SFIT fuck up yet again and then shoot at her people.

The only reason they come off like Mary Sues is that they're not an absolute failure of a hero who doesn't achieve their objectives or live up to his own rhetoric like GV. Yeah, Gunvolt will give you the Zero spiel about not being a hero, but he justifies himself with moral authority. Copen succeeds in what he sets out to do in his route, as he never aspires to be anything more than an adept slayer, and when he does decide to be a classical hero in iX, he's much more successful. Also, they don't kill and show basic empathy for their opponents, but that's another story. Most people don't think Sumeragi or Eden deserve any sympathy from GV and that he's right to see them like walking feces.

>Most people don't think Sumeragi or Eden deserve any sympathy from GV and that he's right to see them like walking feces.

It's the cardinal sin of GV: killing likable, funny, attractive, tragic, and marketable antivillains and then spitting on their corpses. Don't care if they were killing or threatening faceless innocents off-screen; if they don't show it, we don't feel it.

For instance, you know how you could have made people hate Gibril like GV hates her? Show one of her terrified victims begging for his/her life before getting drained and zombified. But we can't have that, because only adepts are allowed to suffer and die in these games. Even then, with her background and EP, it'd have been hard, because she's cute and has a lot of traits that look like they can be manipulated for a redemption arc.

Or maybe, have GV rescuing and talking to some of the victims of Sumeragi horrors or Eden terrorism. Even fucking MMX and MMZ had this, as scant on story as MMX was. GV1 kind of did this with Elise, but then it turned out she was evil too and GV killed her and then acted all casual about it afterward, telling Xeno he was fine and that he'd give him all the highlights of the fight.

I think that Zed is Tenjian but pragmatic.
>"Oh so if we just leave the minos fuck adepts they will erase themselves out of the bloodpool in about 50 years, well I guess it's time to get to work Sistina, chop chop"

It's what makes it so unique. Basically what other stories do once (looking at Cyberpunk with Rebeca) but this time each one of those bosses was a Rebecca. You rarely if ever see this level of humanity in an antagonist faction.
>>
>>571657630
In Tenjian's time, there were active genocides against adepts going on. By ZED's time, nonadepts had to put up with it as a significant chunk of births were adepts and adepts were much more culturally and socially dominant. We can already saw the seeds of it in GV1/GV2 where young people like Mytyl seemed enamored by adept counterculture, and Eden's videos were popular among nonadepts for the fights and hotties it showcased.
>>
>>571658545
It does make it unique, but it also makes it harder to root for the main character, and as a writer it's a nightmare as you run through all of your best characters before you complete the plot, which is what basically happened with Gunvolt. It's why Tsuda was talking about leaving things hanging and just ending with GV2 as he knew any cast and scenario (the two are entertwined though) produced afterward would be a letdown.
>>
Honestly this whole conversation is why I hope that GX ends with everyone else being saved at the cost of GV, Gunvolt is honestly my least favorite Gunvolt character

It's hard to pull off without angering the audience and turning them against the main character or even the overall product. I've seen it happen with anime like Iron Blooded Orphans and Aldnoah Zero, where a merciless and emotionless hero was pitted against more human villains, and it turned a lot of people off. And in those cases, those villains were less pitiful, uglier, and more evil than any of Gunvolt's antagonists.

>he is also an adept supremacist
And none of that is elaborated upon in the game so no, the game portrays him as a straight Gary Stu, the only bad or stupid things he does are due to Sumeragi being dicks and denying him info so it doesn't blemish his mister perfect character (which by the way is deliberate, Grazie being designed to be plain is just to show how amazingly generous this faggot is).
>>
>>571659480
The key is that the protagonist just needs to feel a bit sad or weird about it. Even better, they can direct the mixed feelings the audience has towards the tragic state of the world or the main villain, like "they forced this to happen." All it would have taken in the case of Elise's death would have been for GV to say something like "Damned Sumeragi" at the end. Tragic war anime have been doing this for decades for a reason, even against enemies who are laughably evil. Then they can kill hundreds of bad guys and hot/sympathetic villains without the audience getting to upset.

Nova hating Project Muse, violence, and a lot of Sumeragi's policies, and armed phenomena making adepts crazier, Nova's background and abandonment issues leading to inferiority complex, or his dream that everyone should be happy (to contrast GV's dreams), etc. is only brought up in Justice Rage.

Zonda having more child-like and innocent personality traits, Gibril having nurturing and empathetic traits, or Desna being a teasing older sister type is only revealed in Eden's Party.

Lola being influenced by the mirror shards and falling in love with Copen, which is basically confirmed in iX2, was only shown in Clockwork Daydream.

It's always been a feature of the series.
>>
>>571661013
Most of those were hinted at in the games themselves. The CDs only provided elaboration and evidence.

>Nova loving peace
See his discussion with GV, where he calls him out for his destruvtive ways.

>Armed phenomena
Hinted by the personality swaps they undergo when they arm (look at Nova in particular, who starts declaring he is Sumeragi and he's God).

>Zonda
Final fight as she loses her composure she becomes more like a scared kid until she's crying for her brother as she dies.

>Lola
Few lines sprinkled where she teases Copen, like the one where he's maintaining her.

The problem with Gunvolt is that the writers just wings it every game. There's no narrative destination, no structural focus. Even now I couldn't give you a clear answer if you were to ask me what the fuck Gunvolt was about. You would think the thematic anchor was the question of coexistence as it provides a clear motive for our main character(s) and a coherent goal for the story, but nah.
It was at least somewhat internally consistent until Gunvolt 3 failed to read the room and shat all over it.

It was kind of fucking up because it implied that Copen and Zonda were right. Like even with five games, we still haven't seen a good argument coexistence argument. We've seen dozens of cases of irreconcilable fanatical hatred, however.

But the race war was dumb to begin with as in Gunvolt, any one of us could have adept children. And depending on lore source, adepts are better in many ways than baseline humans due to occupying a higher lifewave state, so why wouldn't you want an adept child, especially if they have a lame power that couldn't hurt anyone? The question is ultimately one of adaption, not tolerance.
>>

>>571661013
As the other anon said, most of those had some hint in the games, while Zed got nothing and what little he could've learned about cooperation is then backpedaled in the ATEMS episode when he insists on dealing with Luxia alone despite Kirin being right there so no he was right all along and he's just that amazing, shit character no wonder his entire team is so unpopular.

>>571661985
IBO is very fujo. All those shirtless hunks walking around and a literal blond twink getting railed by a stud. The issue is that Mika is unlikable and lacks charisma, partially because he has empathy issues due to his upbringing.

They could have used literally any other excuse for Kirin not getting involved, like Kirin had to stay behind to deal with SFIT forces, or was fighting ghost GV, but whatever.

Sorry but adept shits and adept sympathizer shits go the way of the dodo.

>>571662603
>depending on lore source, adepts are better in many ways than base humans due to occupying a higher lifewave state.
The original script of Fleeting Memories that was featured in the old Inti radio show says no such thing, higher lifewave refers strictly to supernatural powers and grants no improvement to base physical or cognitive performance unless it comes with the specific power set associated (generally on god tier adepts), the added bit that implies more was invented by Matt and added on top in the localization.
>>
>>571662603
The entire point is that adepts are fucking dangerous and you should be able to see why. How can you even play through this entire series and not get that?
>>
>>571657613
>MMZ had this
Short as they are, those games had the missions and hub level through which the plot was told. GV games don't much "downtime" for story beyond the traditional intermission stage.
>>
>>571663225
Oh no my kid can grow a flower a bit quicker than normal, a national existential threat. They fucked this point in the ass when they established most adepts have powers that suck at killing people.
>>
>>571663184
Don't adept soldiers beat regular soldiers, even without powers? It was one of the reasons Jota signed onto Sumeragi and why Eden are such a threat and their soldiers more dangerous than their Sumeragi counterparts in game.

Leaker here, Inti Creates is buying Treasure LTD.
They're making a hybrid remake of Gunstar Heroes and Super Heroes where it feels like it's a two parted game. A third game will be produced and collabed with the Gunvolt team.

They're also trying to making a Sin & Punishment remake that fleshes out the story and gameplay, it'll feel almost as big as a Star Fox game with branching paths. No word if S&P3 is on the cards and the GalGun team is on board with this.

Finally, they're helping with SEGA's little brand initiative, they're doing an HD2D-ish remaster of Guardian Heroes and a remake of Advance Guardian Heroes. It'll have new lore that connects it to Gunstar Heroes.

Also they're NOT going to attempt to get the Mischief Makers IP from S-E, because "they should have done it when they were selling off Eidos", so it's apparently too late. But they're interested on working with them on publishing a new entry and a 3D game title.

Outside the very tiptop (aka, anybody who appears on the Trilogy Box Art), unless they have a glaive, most of the powerful adepts can be taken out by normies. Even the Raptor, despite how dangerous and feared he or she was, couldn't operate openly, or they'd get mobbed by SPEC OPS or missile strike'd. Look at Viper's performance in Justice Rage. It's not anything that nuts.

Not quite. Think about who would win in a fight between a bodybuilder and a proper MMA fighter. Then again, if adepts think faster than regular humans do on top of that then everything means fuckall because you are basically fighting Spiderman/Amuro.

We don't, and it's mostly because he doesn't rewrite the characters. Like 8-4 took Elise and made her flat out evil, implying that Sumeragi originally captured her because she'd been doing crazy shit on the outside. They never mentioned the experiments fucking her up.
>BUT THEY IMPLIED IT

NO THEY DIDN'T. NOT ONCE. It's implied that Sumeragi subjected her to some medical checkups (the medical gown) but you don't know what for or the extent. It could have been for her or their own good, because researchers and scientists were not mentioned once. Elise doesn't even say the zombies were researchers, she just says people.

And then there's Zonda, where they maliciously rewrote her to be so much of a sociopath she views her own adopted brother, the man who raised her, as nothing more than a tool to be discarded for her own Godhood, but everyone knows about that.

Kinda, kinda not. Typically with GV major characters, you take a good guy from MMX/MMZ and then combine them with a bad guy. So Copen has traits of both Weil and Zero in him. Mainline is definitely more Weil though. Nova has traits of both X and Copy-X, humorously enough. Some people say that Zonda has elements of Ciel, because she has to get her caring/naive traits from somewhere. I think GV is the fail aspects of X and Zero.
>>
>>571690814
Yeah it's not just one thing, I just didn't really see the inspiration from Weil until now. Copen's a big dumb design amalgamation either way he has traces of X Zero and Axl all in there together somehow

The way to weasel out would be to say that this would be the end of one series of games. If they wanted to do anything more, they'd start a sequel series or spin-off. It's sort of like Gal Guardians is the sequel series to Gal Gun or MetaFight, Blaster Master Zero, and Blasting Again form one timeline across three generations, but are different series.

I always thought Zonda's fake persona matched Albert's fake persona. In the 8-4 translation, she literally is loli Albert with how condescending and malicious she is towards the player and how two-faced she is to her followers. I know that's probably not the case, because we have foreign wikis corroborating the sympathetic read of her character. If GX has her (unlikely), we will get confirmation.

After the iX stream, they'll start focusing on GX. Unless they cancel a stream, that means 7 streams + 1 release stream. As all of you know, on the streams leading up to a Gunvolt release, they will do character introductions cohosted by the VAs.

Who do you think we'll get? I don't know if we will get GV's VA as he's a big shot (as a reminder, there was no Kaito/GV stream for GV3), but maybe Copen. I have no idea on the remainder. It could be anyone. For GV3, of the 16 characters they picked, only 2 of them didn't have a meaningful conversation with GV (Elise and Gibril).

We are flying in uncharted territory as INTI has never done anything like GX before. Every stream could have an old favorite on there, but none of them would have a serious role in game. If they had a Nova or Zonda stream, unless they showed those characters in GX, I wouldn't get too hyped.

Or maybe they'll be cohosting with the GV3 cast again, although I doubt it as those VAs are expensive to drag out for just a stream when we know the Dragons + Kirin won't have new dialog in GX, and ATEMS probably won't either.

Or maybe it will be like the iX1+2 streams where they just grab a nobody VA from one of the audio dramas to cohost.

It would've been a far more satisfying payoff after so much strife to finally see them stand on some common ground, but no one at Inti really cares enough about Copen to write him a proper character arc. Not even in his own spinoff.
A character arc is what happens between the start and the end. It involves the character realizing that they need to change, and it is the process of how and why they accomplish it. He did none of that. He didn't grow or change in any way. He was just genocidal one day and, the very next day, decided he was over it with nothing in between.

A character arc isn't when you start at point A and then suddenly jump to the end. Likewise, a character just deciding that they are now okay isn't an arc either. And it is kinda hard to justify during a very real and on-going minos extermination that completely validated Copen's initial beliefs about adepts. A conflict that also robbed him of everyone he cherished.
But whatever. It's clearly not something Inti wants to think about so we shouldn't either.

Darkness Trigger now buffs the main weapon too in iX1, any other balance changes haven't been specified but they're most likely very minor. But acting like all the iX collection has to offer is balance changes is disingenuous as fuck. You also get an endless boss rush mode for both games with various settings to mess with and the infamously expensive iX2 DLC is now included by default (with how much people cried about them I doubt even half of the people who bought iX2 even bothered getting it's DLC) making it a pretty decent deal. You might not care about these additions but they're still there.

Going off of GV3, if he's introduced in a game stream, he has a 90% chance of being in the game. I don't know why they'd be focusing on XIAO of all characters unless he was in GX. If it was a popular character with an inexpensive VA you'd have a leg to stand on. That's why Elise's VA gets grabbed regularly. Gibril's VA is on there often enough too, because she's willing to take less pay as she really liked the character and wants to do more VA work for her.

GV3 takes place a vague number of "decades" after the original games. That's anywhere from 30 years to 80 years. All important characters in GV are young so they could easily still be alive. The timeskip was just an excuse to abandon everything because Choujin Locke did it.

To be honest, nobody really cared that much about Zeno and Moniqa. It would have been nice to get a throwaway line about what happened to them, but Moniqa was always the boring nice girl, like all nonadepts, while Zeno was the annoying clingy otaku bro who doesn't seem to ever do anything.

I guess the people who said GV felt a vindictive thrill watching Zonda cry out for her brother were right if he still hates her this much. I still don't know what INTI wants me to feel towards these characters. Why introduce Zonda, subvert her looks/age by making her creepy, then make you feel bad by revealing her background, Tenjian's sacrifice, and her breakdown, then show another side of her in the drama CD, but then have GV be like "she's a monster and I still really want her to die?" It is really confusing to me, especially when GV has a nuanced perspective towards Nova, Asimov, ZED, and Copen nowadays after his character development.
>>
>>571743524
See >>571743105

GV's ideal world is where wicked people are punished but do not exist. Nova and Zonda's ideal world would be one where everyone is happy, but they don't see that as achievable. It's why GV is an antihero while the people he fights are antivillains.

It's just a joke about how she traumatized him with her perverted pretty boy illusion who wanted to bang him. It'd be hilarious to see someone call her bluff. Ironically, I think you could unbalance her, because her illusions don't put out for her fervent fanclub within Sumeragi.

It's because Tsuda and Tai want her to be different things. Tsuda wants her to be Lady Kahn, which is a character to be hated by the audience, and wants everyone in game to treat her as such. That's a big ask for the audience considering she looks and sounds so cute, and she's literally the youngest character in Gunvolt, but it can be done. Tai and the artists want her to be a tragic character who you want to see redeemed. Hence, all the non-Tsuda controlled material downplaying her villainy and introducing more innocent or comedic qualities to her. Even GV3 kind of downplayed her fake form. In GV2, her fake form could be very mean and cutting, whereas GV3's fake Zonda was just a silly pervert, even with the lines about purging nonadepts.

I somewhat doubt that, and does it even really matter when the outcome is the same? Tai had every opportunity to showcase Eden in a better light when he was given the go-ahead to make his own personal timeline split, and that's kinda the interesting parts about AUs, they allow for such things. He didn't.
I also doubt Tai is the "redemption guy" at Inti. I didn't get the feel that he necessarily wanted any of the iX characters to even get a chance at standing down. Just more of the "let's kill all of our good characters and it's very cathartic" shit we're used to.
>>
>>571747818
Honestly thinking about it

Eden in iX ending up as a hero faction with severely limited resources due to how Asimov handled Sumeragi would've been a cool twist on things for LAiX
>>
>>571747818
It's based around Tsuda saying that Zonda's death was a piece of GV2's happy ending when Tai said it was a painful ending. Tai also said he liked Eden's Party and went on to push for retcons that lined up with it.

And Tai treated the iX antagonists with far more sympathy in game than the GV1/GV2 antagonists got, with Lola feeling sad or mixed about killing a few of them and Copen feeling emotionally worn out. Most of the iX2 antagonists didn't even die in the good ending, despite a few of them participating in the culling of the human race. In GV1/GV2, the characters are blasé after they kill someone or even angrily happy.
>>
>>571746345
I'm with Tai on this one. Tsuda has all the cool ideas but also all the most retarded ones, and I'm counting iX2's stupidity, too. I think Tsuda's stupid is stupider since it doesn't jibe with the tone. iX can take a certain level of silliness, despite its seriousness, as it's not as story focused. Gunvolt can't.

And Tsuda's retarded ideas apply to characters more so than crazy plot ideas, which I find worse as GV is a character driven story (although he has those too, see nuking Japan, or reversing the villain GV mid-development causing tons of issues for the dev team). So while a Blaster Master crossover is retarded, it doesn't fuck up the tone of the game as much as a psychopathic 10-year-old 130 cm tall Loli Kahn masterfully manipulating others and masterminding all the plots throughout the game. I get the appeal of "what if cute but monster," but that only works in shit that's trying not to end every game on a serious tragedy.

Gunvolt is trying to make you cry like a bitch, so that sort of silliness ends up taking you out of the experience. Tai said as much about Nova. You can't have a 14-year-old be the founder and President of a Megacorp that controls Japan and has global influence, and expect the tragedy to be taken seriously. Either write something slightly tongue-in-cheek, like Toaru, or try to be less outrageous. That's why Tai kept trying to retcon her into being a figurehead who is still a kid deep down. It's better for the drama.

Eden is irrelevant in iX because GV2 never happens. That's the only reason.

Tragedy can have silly and it can have edge, it just can't be edgy silly, or you'll have no tragedy. Tai is trying to avoid picture related, which is what would happen if you let Tsuda get too kooky.

>>571748489
It's kinda vague to base it around that alone, I think Tsuda just has more tunnelvision than a speed train in some circumstances. Like, in some aspects, the ending of GV2 is happy for Mytyl & Joule at least. Joule is no longer some intangible septimal ghost hovering around and Mytyl is no longer a mute, ailing paraplegic confined to her bed. They're reborn as the person they were always meant to be, so in that aspect it *is* happy. So long as you disregard the fact that Gunvolt first lost Joule, then he lost Lumen & Copen losing Mytyl, with both of them just left with no personal victory in the end.

It's been a while since I played iX but I don't recall Copen being particularly rueful at having to kill adepts who're practically blackmailed into fighting him.

He's more confused or angry at Sumeragi. He's not particularly torn about it. It's better than the reactions in GV1 and GV2, where they will compliment each other for killing adepts or treat the entire thing as a mission well done (even in cases like Elise). There's a lot of friction between the audience's views and the character's, and it's felt even more acutely because you are controlling said characters, but they never do anything interesting with it except use it for shock (like a character crying and GV just telling them off).

It's a lot cooler than what canonically happened; Copen just got worn down. There was no dramatic epiphany, just gradual acceptance that his dream was impossible. He didn't even give it up on moral grounds, just pragmatic ones. According to the complete works, he still views his inability to complete his father's genocidal dreams with regrets. It really does send the message that their is no crossing over in Gunvolt. Once you are on one side or the other, it doesn't matter if you are 6 or 60, you are stuck there, and the only solution is a bullet to the head. If they'd gone with the original concept for Grazie, she'd probably have died with the same hate in her heart, because there is no cure for hatred in Gunvolt but DEATH.

He's a boomer and a fan of classic anime. Ever seen galaxy express 999? The very first episode has the kid protag see his mother get murdered right in front of him. Then he guns them all down in cold blood after stealing a rifle, then he ogles at a naked Maetel. And this all happens within the first HALF of the episode, literally the first 13 minutes.
The more classic anime you watch, the better grasp you'll have on Tsuda's way of directing. Even if he's not good at capturing the material he's inspired by.

That's pretty tame. And even for classic anime, some of GV is ridiculous and nihilistic when you peel things back.

You're pretty hung up on this point. It's pretty normal in anime for kids to be killing kids. I've read shonen where all the characters were 4-8, and they were murdering each other and everyone was treating it as normal in setting.

It's such a bizarre dismissive handwave. Why would he just give up under the circumstances that validates his extremist views the most? I'm not sure if it's to uphold status quo for some bizarre reason, or if it's just an ultra lazy short-cut to avoid writing a proper arc for him. Properly the latter. The one thing that's for certain is Inti really missed out on something amazing here.
Copen continues the trend of being the most bungled Inti character of them all.

Nah. We know the X comics did fine and they had swimsuit collections for years with Street Fighter.

To be completely fair, he probably saw a LOT of cases over the years where Adepts were eating shit too and watching their non-adept family members get fucked (e.g. Blade and Kohaku) and it made him question a lot

>>571754089
>under the circumstances that validates his extremist views the most?
It doesn't though. The idea that the Butterfly Effect is needed to maintain this state of affairs and that it's also oppressing the adepts at the same time to enforce this contradicts that idea, and that's his actual goal so he has to be aware of that. He knows it's top-down.

>>571754303

Udon themselves have stated multiple times that the Shantae swimsuit specials outperform most of their Capcom books, and even if we ignore that; this is still Udon slapping Shantae on the cover of a Megaman comic to get Shantae fans to buy it. Her side doesn’t benefit from this unless they pull a Splash Woman+Giga Mermaid variant out their ass for AX.

It's actually not that common in the shonen genre that GV wants to ape. Aesthetically edgy manga like Kagurabachi are popular right now, but actually edgy manga, where the antihero is a rutheless dirtbag who crosses all sorts of lines or everything and everybody is portrayed as unrelentingly bad, is not.

Typically, when there is killing involved, it's kid/teen heroes vs mature looking characters (so older teens and adults). That's to avoid cases like Gunvolt, where you have a more mature looking hero killing a much smaller/cuter character, since it makes them look unsympathetic. And kids like beating up or outcompeting adults. They don't like beating down since it makes them feel like bullies.

There are always exceptions, but kids (and editors) react negatively to it. See Nardo, where there was a significant throttle on the heroes killing their peers partway through (because it wasn't well received). There were still teen villains, they just weren't dying to the heroes. Akame-ga-Kill, which is a stupidly edgy manga (to the point of comedy), only killed off one of its teen villains (two if you count a minor one), and the other two were given redemption passes despite their crimes. Even Saint Seiya, a boomer manga that many of you spics should be familiar with, did this where around the gold arc, almost all the villains were adults (disregarding the anime fillers). Kid villains are for rivaling and maybe befriending, not killing.

The entirety of Asimov's reign is that it's the social circumstances of GV1+2, but reversed. Tai wanted the symbolism of Humanity being literally "kicked out of heaven." I don't believe for a second the guy that, under mainline circumstances, goes "BORN TO DIE WORLD IS A FUCK 鬼神 Kill Em All 20xx I am demon man 410,757,864,530 DEAD ADEPTS " is going to change his mind just because a few families got torn apart. He's probably responsible of that himself during his GV1 days.

>>571755289
During the times we take control, yes. Hatred like Copen's doesn't dissipate just because he knows they're indoctrinated. For Copen's regaining of composure to be believable he'd need to learn that adepts don't want all this fabricated hostility either, and that many hates Sumeragi just as much as him. Hence why the Eden shit would work well.

People are primed for a redemption arc because of the villain stories, the youthfulness of the cast, and GV3's nonlethality, but they aren't getting anything but given the "you are beyond redemption" Oversurge speech and Lux'd again. Think Tsuda might actually throw out Eden's Party, and make Zonda more evil than Asimov, which is the sort of subversion he'd like. Nova's side story was already included, however. Most of his Justice Rage personality made it into GV3, to the point it overwrote a lot of his GV1 personality. Nova is a good boy and tragic villain, so has a good chance of getting redemption. I think that the game's writings hint to people being born with their traits and not really maturing out of them, so all the characters we see, like Nova, Elise, Merak, Viper, Gibril, or Zonda are just doomed to be who they are no matter what and there is no changing them. The only thing you can do for many of them, except Nova, is kill them. Gunvolt is unironically right whenever he says that they are irredeemable.

What Gunvolt seems to think, and what they'll probably go with, is that hard circumstances and abuse don't make you who you are but reveal who you are. So a character like Elise was always evil, she just needed the right push. It's a bullshit message, especially as GV almost went evil himself after the events of GV1, although that will probably be retconned.

He said that they're the only ones and nonadepts are largely blameless. It's a sentiment he repeats. In the Dengeki profile, they said that GV realized the real problem with the world was Adepts abusing their power. He really only sees it going one way. To an individual adept though, they're not going to care that their neighbors are reacting to their feelings of powerlessness and hysteria from the Mutilator in the next county over when they drag his family out of their home and torture and lynch them.

Issue is your thinking of Copen after the events of 2 instead of Copen after the events of 1, where he was beefing with Sumeragi specifically a lot more and was already focused on shutting down project muse. Without the events of 2 happening with Eden seemingly coming out of nowhere to cause problems from his perspective there isn't actually much to validate the notion of Adepts being an existential threat in the long term, just Sumeragi being the problem

It doesn't excuse it, but the adept abusers are never held accountable either. They're just allowed to continue doing whatever.

Also, GV doesn't view them as children. He calls all the adepts men and women, after all. GV views and judges them as fully formed adults. There's no maybe they were manipulated/groomed or they're ignorant (like GV was with Asimov). Even Zonda gets judged like an adult, and if she were an adult, GV's attitude would make complete sense. Maybe we should do the same. Except Quinn, Joule, Mytyl, and even Copen are judged as children, and Quinn is older than most of the characters GV kills. This is all so messy. Choose a standard and stick with it, INTI.

Oh, but then there's those fucking CDs too. Maybe we should just ignore them. They make GV way easier to digest when I can just go back to the old days and pretend Nova and Zonda are 20 somethings, because age is meaningless in an anime unless they go out of their way to make it mean something, like they did in the fucking CDs.

If someone other than Ciel had found him, he might not have been such a hero. That's what the entire ending spiel about not being a hero was about. And as far as abuse, what are you talking about?

>>
>>571761556
Copen in GV1 was already dead-set on his adept exterminatory procedures thanks to good old Dr. K, he just also hates Sumeragi in equal measures. Sumeragi being the ones to abduct Mytyl would would only provide both him and Eden shared interest in bringing Sumeragi down, if not for the Muse alone then for Eden to be very against the whole Adept Subjugation thing Asimov has planned. It's also an organization with enough reach to realistically provide Copen with the tools and machinery he needs for his gear, which is paramount now that Nori is no longer around to fulfill that.

Only a small number are aiming to purposefully kill, more just don't care and want to end the fight, and most don't want to kill at all. The ones who do kill are often unsuccessful since ESPers are surprisingly durable in Toaru.

>Accelerator
IIRC, he was only willing to kill them in bulk because he didn't see them as human. The first few kills still shook him up, but he gradually became desensitized to it, and then killing in general. As soon as one them started putting up a fight and being "human" in his mind, his barriers began breaking down, which is how he ended up taking care of Last Order after he got his ass beat.

You'll see that a lot in Japanese media.

I know Touma is meant to have superhuman endurance and speed, but he would still be fucked against Copen or any Sumeragi mech. He'd be a nightmare for any adept though.

You're supposed to judge them based on their mental ages. That is how GV does it. All the villains are adults since they lost their innocence. They are intelligent and emotionally mature enough to know what they are doing is wrong. They all knowingly and willingly chose their oath. Nova and Zonda are more mentally mature than Asimov or Moniqa, in fact. Unlike IRL people, their thought patterns are fully developed, so are unsalvageable. That is also why Xiao is treated as a 12 yr old adult and Elise is a 16 yr old adult while Quinn is a 17 yr old child. That is why GV finds the bad guy adepts so disgusting and comes down on them hard while being totally willing to spare biologically adult adepts like Apollo or Serpentine.

>Apollo or Serpentine
I know you're being sarcastic bringing these two up, as their backgrounds are literally
>used to be a very bad kid, the type GV would have spat on after lux'ing them, but I grew out of it

But Gunvolt is very messy, not helped by GV being an unreliable and morally inconsistent narrator. Darker shonen kino like HxH touch on some of these themes, though GV is far too clumsy and doesn't have enough runtime to do any of it any justice.

Or maybe Tsuda and Tai are just hacks, the inconsistencies are not purposeful, and we should be taking GV at his word.

At the end of the day, the dividing line in GV's world is if you mess with Joule or not. Without Joule, he probably would not have gone so hard against Sumeragi or Eden, or held a grudge against these people after killing them and then getting his life reset. That's some real next level grudging though.

Can you imagine being Viper and having a blue psycho pull an electric lightsaber on you while you're talking to your street punk buddies for literally no reason, or being Elise and getting an electric orb slammed into your face walking home from school one day?

What is it about Joule that encourages this behavior? Do you think she'd support it, or find it romantic and encourage it?

The fact that he's still grudging a loli is just really funny to me. Unless they retcon it, her true personality is:

If this is a second run, then that means he's had at least over 30 years of life total, probably way more as he wasn't stuck as a dragon in the decades between GV2 and GV3.

>Do you think she'd support it, or find it romantic and encourage it?

Joule would absolutely love it, but also be sad that his heart was consumed by hate, and then get angry herself that those people dared make her GV hurt so much.

From his convo with Tenjian where he obliquely acknowledged the similarities between Joule and Zonda, I think he was sympathetic to Zonda up until she ate Joule. From that point on, even if he killed Zonda, went back to the start, and through his actions, inspired Zonda and made her realize she was wrong about nonadepts, he would still grudge her and want her to die. He's never letting that go, no matter what how "altruistic" (towards adepts) and "misled" she was.

In GV1 and the anime, he thinks they deserve it. In GV2, he immensely regrets it, and it fuels his belief that adepts are the only side at fault for the racial conflicts around the world. It's also one of the reasons he tells most of the Eden members that they do not deserve mercy, because they are using similar justifications for collateral damage as he was. Ironically, I still think GV has a higher kill count of innocents than a good number of the G7.

The context is
>no, too many adepts are being killed around the world. The time when adepts... and nonadepts...could join hands has passed... long ago. This is simply the way of things. It is a fact of nature that either adepts or nonadepts will wipe out the other. This is our only survival strategy. And there can be no love... or mercy for those who oppose our survival...

And that's how she got GV's eternal hate.

GV is a very spicy lad though. Didn't think his hate would survive her breakdown into a scared crying child, but it did, and it lasted decades, even into his next life. That's like Guts tier spite, and even Guts got character development to cool down eventually.
>>
>>571784010
To be fair, Guts at the opening of that arc hesitated to strike Rosine because she was so young. That's more than you could say about GV. By the end, he was like fuck it, you want to protect her, Jill, you'll die with her.

It was a slightly similar setup, especially when Guts was unmoved after learning about her background of constant child abuse leading her to demonic seduction. He's unmoved by a lot of people's tragic pasts, considering how his story starts at dropping from the body of a hanged woman and only gets worse from there. It's similar to how GV's fucked up past prevents him from empathizing with others outside of Joule and Asimov.

Although Rosaline was more childish, and selfishly evil and sadistic than Zonda. At least Zonda's motives could be argued to grow out of her love and empathy for the people around her.

What would the reaction be if the second round of bosses are a united Eden/Sumeragi roster? Say Xiao convinced them that GV is a threat to the world by showing them him going dragon. And when GV faces them, instead of knocking them out like he did against the rampaging dragons, he just killed them because they're not salvageable and he hates them?

For instance, there'd be a rematch against a stuttering Elise apologizing for having to stop you before you kill everyone in Serpentine's level, and then you just annihilate her, no body left behind. Would this be the type of Gunvolt you'd want?
>>
>>571794409
it'd be based and the greatest Tsudatroll ever but we won't have an Elise rematch without significant changes to her cause Cope's gameplay won't allow for it. we could get some of the others tho. show gv can choose not to kill and then have him kill others that the audience likes is what the series is all about.

We have Xiao.

That's hype. That leaves 5 more character reveals afterward before the release stream. Who do you think it'll be? Who do you want? I'm thinking we'll get one more major character and four boss characters to replace ATEMS.

I think if Xiao, probably Zonda due to certain hints littered here and there. Although, she was referenced in dialog today in a memberberry way, and that's usually the death of such a character appearing again.

Maybe we'll be lucky and it'll be Joule, so we can hear her theme again. Like Zonda, probably too much to hope for. I'm certain at least two of the character reveals will be girls, as INTI likes to have at least two girls in its boss roster per GV game.

This is all assuming we don't just reuse ATEMS up till the last level, which 90% chance they will, though I wonder how they will justify it. And they'll still need to do character intros. Are we just going to get reintroductions to ATEMS then? That would be anti-hype.

They have avoided showing any ATEMS soldiers or characters in the trailers, and very little of the ATEMS levels overall, so we don't know what's going on there. We will likely have some bosses who will talk to GV and engage in plot like ATEMS and the DS did, unless GV just kills all of them, which would be a step back for the franchise, but it's Tsuda. If you're going to kill them, wait until the finale. Then you don't have to come up with a tortured excuse for the boss rematches, and you can have them playing an active role like they do in GV3.

Luxia did show up to power bosses in the demo at BitSummit, but she seemed like she might have been disabled in later builds as she has not been featured or talked about in any of the later streams.

You are never going to get anyone to give up their hatred in GV or an adept/nonadept marriage. The only cure for hate is death. This has been proven time and time again in Gunvolt. And God, I pray GV never marries any of the female nonadepts, because they've all been horribly boring, but I probably don't need to worry about that as he'll be forever alone as the Locke clone he is. All the other playable characters for that fact too.

Sometimes, I wonder about the wisdom of making the characters so young. It's understandable for the target audience they were initially going for (although anyone could have told them kids don't generally go for the style of complex belly feel edginess that GV produces or score platformers in general), but it also implies a degree of changeability and coming of age. Tabula rasa; they have yet to be fully written. But if they aren't allowed to mature and evolve their outlooks, then it feels like a key component is missing.
>>
>>571812289
>although anyone could have told them kids don't generally go for the style of complex belly feel edginess that GV produces

People on here treat all edge as the same, but they aren't. Kids like the edginess of bad guys being ridiculously evil and over-the-top gore and violence. They like cool main characters with antihero vibes, but aren't actually that disagreeable or fail that much. They don't like edgy fail heroes like Eren from AoT, for instance. They don't like the type of edge that makes them confused and depressed. They might be okay with it in small doses, like in HxH, but not being forced fed an entire story of the bittersweet stuff.

It's also because the viewpoint is heaviky skewed. Humans do a lot of fucked up shit and racism is why Eden hates them. That part is not shown. Eden are terrorists and one of them manages to freeze a whole city and all.of.its human inhabitants to death. That part is shown. Hell, Copen actually calls Gunvolt out on it in their mid battle dialog.
It's a gameplay thing, but humans are never shown committing the atrocities they're always accused of, and the bosses, terrorists, psychopaths and mass murderers are always adept aggressors, sympathetic or not (Gunvolt himself is one of these). They really dont have a way to flesh it out
>>
>>571813298
Conversely, they never actually show any victims, unless they're adepts, who we end up killing shortly afterward. They're always off-camera or faceless, barely ever discussed except in a line to justify GV's anger and disgust and the villain's reprehensibleness. We don't see death numbers, or the reaction of survivors. The closest we get are zombies, but again, those are monsters. It abstracts things. It's not helped by nonadept design and personalities outside Copen being boring the few times they do show up.

However, we do get to see the adepts, and they have lively personalities and very appealing designs. We know their personal stories and what drives them, and follow their perspectives in the supplementary material. iX, for all its faults, actually tried to fix this with the Minos kids, at the cost of losing the adept perspective.
>>
>>571814317
We get enough of the adept perspective in iX. Most don't like Asimov, but are forced to serve. Minos kids are realistic kids (read annoying, forgettable, and always whining for their missing parents), so people don't like them. Funny how some of them are supposed to be the same age as Zonda, but the games ask you to judge one as an adult who should be shot and pissed on and the others as dumb kids whose smiles must be protected. It just goes to show the schizo standards this series has between adepts and nonadepts. And people try to argue that the line about adepts having different cognitive abilities is not loreful.
>>
>>571814752
>Funny how some of them are supposed to be the same age as Zonda, but the games ask you to judge one as an adult who should be shot and pissed on and the others as dumb kids whose smiles must be protected.

>>
>>571808830
You forgot one
>She could have done something about the incomming dragon Armageddon but she forgot about it
>>
>>571815070
It's not really about threat, but moral culpability. We judge all the adepts as moral agents capable of all adult responsibilities. Even saw some people doing it to the 5-year-olds that people were meming GV had killed, that they had chosen Eden and thus deserved it. Zonda and Nova are judged to the same moral standard as Asimov. They were not groomed, they chose their position, and even groomed all the much older adepts to their purposes. We don't treat them as mentally developing, because they are fully mentally developed and in complete control of themselves. They are thus adults. We should not feel sympathy for them. We should enjoy their pain, as GV does.

Basically, I think it's weird as fuck that the game does this, especially as it wants us to take its story seriously and be sad when bad stuff happens. It's not even an anime thing, and it's inconsistent, as it asked us to treat other characters, like Joule, Quinn, Kohaku, Maria, etc. as if they are still emotionally and mentally developing. Quinn in particular is on the older end of the GV2 cast.
>>
>>571815070
>Humans are never shown as a threat or....anything, really.
Copen wiped the planet free of adepts in the timeline where plot armor didn't protect Asimov and Gunvolt from a Greedy Snatcher mag dump.
>>
>>571815949
All of that is just GV being an inconsistent fuckwad. Despite his justice talk, his moral standards bend pretty easily. That's how you end up with schizo standards on who is good and bad, or who is an adult and who isn't. He bends it to make himself feel better. So that's why Quinn is a girl while Zonda is a woman, or Merak is a man while Black Badge is a boy. Or why Elise went from girl to enemy woman as soon as she materialized a glaive.

Reading all of this, I think I figured out the idea behind the audio dramas and those backstory blurbs. They are not designed to make the characters more redeemable. They are made to reinforce GV's point that no matter how screwed up your past is, what your excuse is, what your positive traits were, or how uwu cute and innocent you once were, once you walk the path of evil, you will be punished without any mercy.

Gibril's background is screwed up and she's cute. Doesn't matter, she deserves to be disemboweled and burn in hell. Viper was "forced" into a gang life because nonadepts kept calling the police on him and then Lumen mindcontrolled him (he initially wasn't into Joule since he wasn't a "lolicon" and found her situation pitiful until Lumen started singing). Again, doesn't matter, he dies. Zonda is the youngest character in the cast and the CDs show her gullibly believing what people around her tell her. Doesn't matter, she gets judged the same as anyone else and deserves to die.

What matters are actions, not intent, not your past, not your age or gender, not anything but what you are doing in the present, and by those standards, all of these characters deserve to die and go to hell. They shall all be judges and executed.

The only reason people were swallowing GV3's ending was the expectation of seeing some of those old characters again. If GV killed them all, and the only thing that's changed is that he now has Joule, people are going to flip. We'll all be asking why send him to the future and the reset everything, just to put almost back to where he was before? Why reset his character development?

It'll make a huge moral statement as well, as this is a GV who is both wiser, knows mercy, and was chosen by the God Baby. Any character who GV kills on the second go around, I'll probably stop feeling sympathy for as I know beyond a doubt that they were pure evil. If he killed Elise, then I know she deserved everything, including the lab torture. She would have killed somebody eventually.

This series is sending me so many mixed messages I just don't know how to feel. Like Zonda's break-down tugged at my heart, but then every subsequent game treated her as a complete monster. If GV killed Nova in GX, I'll probably completely check out of the story. I can take him killing almost anybody else, but Nova would be such a shitpost after all the development with him in the GV3 DLC.

This duet is one of the few songs in GV I even remember, it was pretty good.
>>
There's so much speculation and headcanon posing as fact, I'm confused what to believe. Who's (allegedly) suffering amnesia, Gunvolt or Copen? I feel like people are making leaps from a few (maybe incorrectly) translated lines about what GV actually did in the reset timeline, and Xiao's supposed role (if he has any).

Those level blurbs are clearly written with irony or sarcasm.

Copen has amnesia. This has been established for over a month now and has been corroborated in the English streams.

See ENGLISH dialog here: https://youtu.be/_nGXKrZaamM?t=940

He can't remember Kohaku, Hexaphyles, Mytyl, or Isola's fight. GV might have memory problems too, but so far, he hasn't shown anything obvious.
>>
Gunvolt and iX are both old men, so it's only fitting they suffer dementia.
>>
So what is Inti making fanfition of for this amnesia GV plot?

GV never wanted to fight Copen though. And Copen just obviously don't care anymore if he did get his memories back

This may come as surprise but GV generally doesn't like actively shooting at him and trying to hurt his women. This is a pretty normal thing to believe actually, there's no particularly special motivation or philosophy behind any of Juan Volt's actions other than self preservation and pussy for the most part.

>>571818148
So a misunderstanding? Because iX Copen didn't even get to experience GV2's events in his timeline, making him develop into a different character but he can't really express that if he has amnesia. That would be fucked up.

Gunvolt knows/remembers Copen, Copen has some partial memory loss thing that affects a bunch of stuff.
We already knew Gunvolt thought Copen was cool from 3 though, that's that whole reason in-universe for him using modified versions of his techniques. He still thinks Copen is cool, even. How iX Copen feels about Gunvolt is the thing we don't know since he never bothers bringing Gunvolt up in any of those games.
>>
>>571827412
I honestly don't see a reason as to why they should fight each other, other than a severe case of plot induced stupidity. As you said, iX never experienced the events of GV2 and so he's got no horse in this race. He doesn't know any of these people and has no reason to care. It's like iX2 all over again.

She could have killed Asimov back on Firnament and only let Eden take Mytyl on orders from Xiao, she easily clears the bar for competence
>>
>>571829119
If she fights as well as Copen I sincerely doubt she could take on Asimov, reinforced by the fact we have a scenario where she got her ass handed to her by him.
>only let Eden take Mytyl on orders from Xiao
Oh yeah, the day she lost both her charges. The height of competency, sasuga Kurona.

>digital pre-orders still not up for the iX collection
What gives?

That's probably the exact reason why she time traveled to the past: to hope her charges lead better lives. Xiao gave her a catch: she has to actually terrorize Shinobu's school for it to happen.
>>
>>571836846
Speaking of Xiao using his time powers to help Kurona, the ending of Clockwork Daydream has similarities to when GV wakes up after the bad ending in GV1, fueling the "Xiao Firnament" theory
That theory about how he is responsible for the split in timelines leading to GV2 and iX respectively is probably the only thing you could have Xiao reveal to iX!Copen should he appear in GX
>>
>>571829119
No, that just means that she's a potentialwoman.
>>
>>571837237
Kurona already has time powers, likely stronger than Xiao's.
>>
Who has the smelliest farts?
>>
>>571842835
We don't know for sure until GVXrd.
>>
>>571849337
It's not a theory. In Gal Guardians she opened a wormhole to a potential future where she's massively more powerful, which is an octima level feat. This was base, baka demon Kurona during her school days.
