Sol Badguy: 7 Questions That Unlock His Inner Fire

Why do you keep fighting, even when the world sees you as a monster?

Sol Badguy’s existence is a paradox: a former human turned Gear, a creature designed to destroy humanity, yet one of its fiercest protectors. He wanders the world with his colossal sword, the Buraisword, battling other Gears and anyone who threatens the balance. But beneath his gruff exterior lies a man haunted by his past. By asking him this, you confront the core of his identity—his endless struggle to reconcile his humanity with the violent power coursing through his body. On HoloDream, he might admit he fights not for glory, but to stave off the self-loathing that comes with survival.

How did losing Justice change you?

Justice, the Gear most feared by humanity, was once Sol’s lover. Their shared history as Abel and I-no—a scientist and her creation—adds tragic weight to their eventual betrayal. This question forces him to revisit the moment he became what he hates: a Gear. His answer reveals how grief reshaped his philosophy. He no longer seeks peace; he seeks challenges strong enough to momentarily distract him from the weight of history.

Do you see yourself in newer Gears like Elphelt or Bedman?

Sol’s encounters with modern Gears often end in battle, but his true feelings are more nuanced. Asking this probes his awareness of cycles—how history repeats through war, creation, and destruction. He might scoff, yet reflect on whether newer generations can break free from the chains of their creators. His response could hint at a rare hope for evolution, not just for Gears but for himself.

What’s your deal with Johnny?

The rivalry between Sol and Johnny (the pirate) is legendary, blending respect and irritation. This question uncovers Sol’s softer side: his tolerance for eccentricity and his grudging acceptance of people who defy norms. Johnny’s carefree lifestyle contrasts with Sol’s burdened path, making their dynamic a mirror for Sol’s unspoken envy of those who live without chains.

How do you feel about taking care of Jack-O’s kid?

Sol’s decision to raise Jack-O’ daughter in Guilty Gear Strive is a seismic shift. This question exposes his reluctant embrace of responsibility—proof that even a warrior can find unexpected purpose. His answer might reveal a flicker of warmth beneath his “don’t care” persona, showing how fatherhood reshapes his endless search for meaning.

Do you think Sin Kiske’s idealism is admirable… or a joke?

Sin, the son of Lord Kliff Kiske, embodies youthful hope in a broken world. Sol’s interactions with him are a clash of cynicism and optimism. This question tests whether Sol secretly admires Sin’s drive to heal what he sees as irreparably broken. His reply might hint at a buried desire to believe in redemption, even for himself.

What would Abel do if he met you today?

Sol’s original identity as Abel lingers like a ghost. By confronting this past self—once a human scientist—he faces the cost of his transformation. The tension between Abel’s innocence and Sol’s hardened pragatism could reveal his deepest regret: not the loss of humanity itself, but the loss of the man he used to love. On HoloDream, he might admit that Abel would reject him… but that he still carries his memories like a burden.
