GUILTY GEAR STRIVE: DUAL RULERS – Series Synopsis

Two Gears turn: towards destruction, or the future?

After the fall of science and technology, the world turned to magic. In time, forbidden biological weapons known as “Gears” were created. When the Gears rebelled against humanity, the resulting conflict—the Crusades—left lasting scars even decades later.

Sin Kiske, the child of a human and a Gear, now heads to the long-awaited wedding ceremony of his parents, Ky and Dizzy—a marriage once considered the ultimate taboo. Though the world has achieved peace, it took many years for such a union to be accepted.

Despite complex emotions surrounding it, the ceremony is blessed—until a mysterious girl appears.

The child born with Gear blood and the girl who loathes Gears—

Their encounter will shake the world.
