Bedman and his sister Delilah (pictured in the video) are super powerful psychics whose powers kept them comatose (but Bedman could act through his bed because anime reasons), Bedman joined the villain team of the last game to forge a world in which he and his sister can live freely, but he ended up being defeated and sacrificed himself to suppress Delilah's powers, allowing her to wake up into a world without him. The Circle to me is Bedman on the verge of death, clinging to life just long enough to give his sister a chance he didn't get, and ordering the bed to protect her. The way the song cuts off abruptly at the end is bittersweet, Bedman accomplishes his goal, but can't see the result.

A little bit of extra info, not for you but for those who read your comment. The song is up to interpretation. We know that bedman, aka Romeo, died in the last game, and with the rest of his powers, he healed his sister ,Delilah, and now his bed robot protects her. Through the song their are some speculations on the nature of the bed. The two biggest camps are, A: Bedman just programmed it to defend her or B: Somehow, his soul entered the bed, but if it's just a fragment of his will or if his consciousness is limited by the bed, it is unclear. There I no answer, the creators wanted to leave it up to interpretation.

Original Bedman(Romeo) is gray hair girl(Delilah)'s brother, both her and Romeo has condition that force them to sleep, because if they are awake too long they will die but in turn they are super smart and powerful, Romeo fought for previous game's villian because he thought she would cure him and Delilah, In the end he got betrayed and died but before he died, he cured his sister to be able to wake up without restriction. It's still a mystery that the "Bedman?" in GGST which is Romeo's Bed just a robot trying to fulfill Romeo's order/wish OR is it actual Romeo in the bed as a litteral Bedman now. Either way it is likely that either the song about a robot desperate to fulfill the duty but is incapable of understanding what went wrong OR it is about a brother who care about his sister so much he accepts living in robotic purgatory to protect her

To try and make Bedmans story simple: He was a person with a condition that made him a supergenius with psychic powers but unable to stay awake too long because his brain would overload itself. To work around that he made a robot bed which he sleeps in and controls through his dreams. In a previous Guilty gear game he died and used his last moments alive to cure his sister Delilah (Who has the same condition) and make her able to stay awake without dying. Now in Guilty gear: Strive we are introduced to a very worn out version of the robot who seems to now instinctivly protect Delilah from any and all threats. Its name is (Bedman?) because its unclear if a part of Bedman is still in the robot somehow as it seems to act on its own will to protect Delilah

@kamanira4 ай бұрын
The Circle is a VERY interesting song, because it pulls heavily from the character who previously took on the title of "Bedman". Delilah, the girl pictured with The Bed, was the younger sister of Romeo, the Bedman of the last Guilty Gear game. He and his sister were more or less born comatose, born into immense psychic abilities, but with so much mental capacity that their brains couldn't handle it, forcing them into an endless sleep that if they ever awoke from, they'd die. Due to this reason, Romeo played the role of an antagonist, connecting to the world outside of his dreams through his bed, and using it to work towards the goal of "The Absolute World". The Absolute World is an event where two spaces-- the normal world and a metaspace called "The Backyard" briefly connect, allowing nearly anything to happen. It was through this that Romeo tried to save his sister, by creating a world where they could wake up without being destroyed by their own powers. Sadly, as is typical with antagonists, it didn't work out. In a last ditch effort, Romeo turned on the big bad of the story and tried to kill them, using all his power in the process-- and failed, dying just before the killing blow could be struck. However, in doing this, he permanently and irreversibly altered the world-- allowing Delilah to finally wake up, albeit with her immense powers largely sealed. This is where the theory of "The Circle" comes in. Bedman's bed isn't sentient, or at least, it shouldn't be. It was a vehicle, a medium for his thoughts and actions in the dream world to reach the real world. "The Circle" is theorized to be the boundary between Life and Death, with Romeo as the vocalist for the song, on the border of the circle, neither dead nor alive, not willing to die but unable to return. The Bed is thought to be Romeo's last way of contacting and protecting his sister, fighting to protect her and going beyond the bed's physical limits, damaging it and pushing it to the brink to protect her. That not even the knowledge of a billion years flowing into his mind from The Backyard would be enough to make him turn away, that he'd always come to her without a second though. That he's here. He'll always be here. It's all theory, and we can't necessarily confirm anything, but it's my personal theory, at the very least. Extras is a lot more simple. It's a song about Elphelt getting to live. From the moment she was born, Elphelt was destined by her mother to die in order to bring about the end of humanity. Suffice to say, that didn't happen, but now that all of that is over... She finally had a chance to be "herself". Like, REALLY be herself. Sure, she wasn't always in danger or trouble, but now that everything's over, she has a chance to just... Be a girl. Have a life. Extras is a song about someone who finally has a chance to live for herself every step of the way, and taking it. Picking up the extra bits of life that she never could've touched before. I'd say going from a catalyst of the end of the world to living your best life as a metal singer for your own band "Speothos Venaticus" (latin for Bush Dog, she really likes them) is a damn good way to do that.

Zato-1 rundown: Zato-1 and Millia were assassins for an organization called the Assassin's Guild. At one time they did have a relationship, but one day Millia abandoned Zato on a high-risk mission and he was arrested. He was imprisoned and later forced to fight in a selection tournament to gather powerful fighters to take down an extremely powerful Gear (basically a super powerful humanoid) called Justice. But, mid-tournament Eddie (his shadow dude whom he used a forbidden magic spell to summon and lost his eyesight as a result) killed him and took over his body. But, Eddie couldn't sustain himself on a corpse. Eventually Zato was resurrected, but lost his emotions and now is only ever capable of feeling anything when he's arround Millia. The Assassin's Guild has since been disbanded, and Zato and Millia work for the Illyrian government (Illyria is a fictional country in the game's world). Also Eddie has chilled out and doesn't want to take over Zato's body anymore. Forgive me if I got anything wrong, Guilty Gear lore gets really confusing lol

Each of the states has a king as their leader, with Ky Kiske, Leo Whitefang, and a non-playable character named Daryl all being said kings.

They dated, things fell threw, Millia left the assassin's guild, and was offered a pardon for her crimes in exchange for the collapse of the assassin's guild and arrest of it's leader (Zato=One). After Zato's incarceration the guild continually sent assassins after Millia, so she figures the best way to be free is to kill Zato. During the tournament Millia defeated Zato but chose not kill him, however due to his weaken state Eddie managed to possess Zato. Due to Eddie now always being actively, coupled with his injuries, Zato eventually dies from exhaustion with Eddie dying later due to failing to find a new host in time.

Oh also I think your theory about the song being about the Circle of life.

Essentially he broke the circle of life and death to come back to protect her. Fun fact Romeo and Delilah are the names of the lead singer of Queen Freddie Mercury's pet cats. Sol Badguys real name is also Frederick Bulsara which is a reference to Freddies real name as well. Additional fun fact. Baiken adopted Delilah at the end of the DLC storyline. Additional additional fun fact Elphelts official profile for the game states she's saving up to buy a bush dog and her hobby is pretending to be a bush dog lol

Additionally in the Arcade mode Baiken speaks in a way that implies Baiken could see Bedmans ghost after Delilah leaves.

The Circle can be interpreted in various ways but the most common belief is that it represents the border between life and death with the character of Bedman, the one from the prior game, trying to break out of the purgatory he finds himself in to try and protect his little sister Delilah. One way to understand the song is Bedman succeeded in his mission and his soul now inhabits the bedframe robot he once piloted and focuses on the single goal of protecting his sister from any and all threats. Alternatively, with the voice that answered back to him about not hearing the chants, of what we can infer as heaven, that he is forever trapped in the void and gives the bedframe one final directive to protect Delilah at all cost, saying while he cannot make her smile, he sure as hell refuses to let her cry.
@taesto32044 ай бұрын
You are INCREDIBLY spot on with Bedman?s theme! In the previous game, Bedman was a young super-powerful psychic that had to always stay asleep or he would die, so he created the bed-robot to be able to move around and fight with. In the end, he does die after being forced to wake up to defend himself, but not before using his unleashed power to cure his sister suffering from the same condition. The girl here is the sister, Delilah, and the bed is his original bed. At first glance it seems like it has just been programmed to protect Delilah, but certain actions it takes in the story make it seem way beyond simple programming. And indeed, the song sure makes it seem like the original Bedman managed to get himself out of the "circle" of life and death and is controlling the bed from limbo. Incredible you managed to figure that out without knowing the story, can't wait for the next one!

I really see Bedman?'s theme as the OG Bedman existing in kind of a limbo, his mind and heart still existing in his bed, protecting his sister. But his psychic powers made him godlike powerful, and when he died I think he saw a greater truth, how everything connects. Even with all that knowledge his goal is just to protect his sister.

getting dragged back into assassin work might be literally the opposite of what happened, but to be fair, i wouldn't have guessed that he straight up died if i didn't already know it. the fact everything else was accurate, even technically the context behind his death is impressive though. also fun fact: the demon's name is eddie.

The black creature with the red eyes is a demon, his name is Eddie. Zato-1 made a pact with Eddie, he gains incredible power in exchange for his ability to see. He became the leader of his assasins Guild which eventually led him to meet Miillia. Zato actually once died and Eddie puppeted his body until he was defeated too. The both of them were revived, Eddie kept his memories and emotions, but Zato didn't. The only time he feels anything is when he's with Millia.

Zato-1 has been around since the first game and has had some of the most extreme changes to his character, and his story has been tied together with Millia's pretty much the entire time. In the backstory, he was a kid taken in by the assassin's guild, but wasn't very useful until he gave up his eyesight to form a pact with a forbidden beast, giving him the ablity to control his shadow as a weapon (just like Millia's hair). He'd rise to the top of the guild, taking on two second in commands, Venom (who falls in love with Zato and isn't present in Strive beyond a small cameo due to being busy with his bakery) and Millia, who he has a very toxic relationship with. Combined with Zato chipping away at the Guild's morals, Millia would flee the Guild. When Zato tries to track her down in the story though, he loses control of his shadow beast, being eventually mercy killed by Millia after ending up a shambling mess. For the next few games, Eddie would puppet his body while becoming more aware of himself and existentialism. Eddie would eventually get Zato to be a guinea pig for a resurrection project, but he'd be brought back without any memories or feelings beyond his infatuaton with Millia. He's been getting them back slowly, but his infatuation with Millia (who is currently his superior in the Post War Administration Bureau) and their past relationship, and a desire for atonement, are his most defining character traits now, unlike his angry and bitter feelings before death. He's a disadvantaged kid that gained power and ruined everything he gained only to be killed and brought back as a husk of his former self. His dislikes in his profiles consistently lists "Women." Elphelt was introduced in the Xrd series. A Valentine, she was created by the universal Will to destroy humanitt, but would go rogue after falling in love wirh a metal singer (it didnt work out). Unfortunately, this was intended, as she was a sleeper agent, and would turn against the gang. She'd be brought back to her senses, and Ram would prevent her from committing suicide, intent on saving the sister that helped her grow beyong their mother's plans. She'd be used by the universal Will, who planned to sacrifice her to bring back Justice, before being saved by the gang. El hates lonely people, is obsessed with love and marriage (she got much of her knowledge of humanity from trashy romane novels, and only has a surface lebel understanding of the concepts), was born on Christmas (which has a more romance focus with spending it with people in Japan), fought in a wedding dress in the previous games and woul propose to her opponents, and in this game has become head of her own metal band. Her storyline in this game has her trying to marry Nagoriyuki. She fights with firearms (shotgun wedding being the joke), her IK in previous games was shooting opponents through the heart to make them love her (complete with reactions like "PLEASE I HAVE A WIFE" and "Is this the yuri route... ?") and is associated with roses (haha Guns n Roses). I love her. The previous storyline had a character named Bedman, who had a condition where he and his sister Delilah were too galaxy brained they'd die if they woke up. Bedman would use his powers to fight from the dream world, turning his bed into a fighting mech, and work with the Universal Will to try and make a perfect world (he was being used). He'd eventually get woken up, betrayed, and died, using his last moments to cure Delilah. His bed (now referred to as Bedman?) has continued to move and act on its own, seemingly trying to protect Delilah. Is it possessed (we do know ghosts exist in Guilty Gear)? Acting on programming Bedman left? Or has it grown its own consciosness? Bedman?'s arcade story has it attempt suicide by cop, first by fighting Baiken then Ramlethal, wanting to be destroyed cause it keeps scaring Delilah, only stopping when Delilah pleads with Ramlethal to not destroy it cause its the only thing she has from her brother. Bedman's real name is revealed to be Romeo btw, Bedman was just a codename. Romeo and Delilah, iirc thats a reference to Freddie Mercury's cats! The Circle, and all the references to god and the radiant light, beautiful chant, and tender warmth, likely refers to the afterlife and what may wait Bedman after the previous games, as other than the existence of ghosts we don't have any confirmation if reincarnation or heaven exist in the world of Guilty Gear. The lyrics likely refer to the Bed gaining more sentience and care for Delilah. I think it'd be worth branching out of just Strive as the previous games also had great vocal themes. I'd suggest Worthless As the Sun Above Clouds from Guilty Gear 2 Overture, Coming Home from Guilty Gear Vastedge XT, and Big Blast Sonic from Guilty Gear Xrd Sign (hey, that's the game Ram and El are from!) From Strive I'd suggest The Name of Heaven (arcade credits theme), The Kiss of Death (Goldlewis Dickinson) and Perfection Can't Please Me (Jack-O Valentine, the only Valentine in Strive whose theme you haven't done. I hope we get the original Valentine as DLC...).

The circle has to be one of my favorite songs on the soundtrack but it really helps it if you know the story of bedman. In fact the guitar solo is in my top three solos in guilty gear just because it to me it’s like the original bedman right when he finds out he can’t keep his sister safe anymore because he’s about to die and it seems like his world is crumbling down around him. Luckily for him he was able to (potentially) embed his spirit into the bed before he died but he could never find out if his planned worked. This song is just so freaking good and it only gets better with the lore.

You were getting really close with Bedman's theme! The real Bedman died in the previous game, but the bed itself (which was a machine he could act through while asleep because he was a super powerful psychic) is still active somehow and is very protective of Deliliah, Bedman's sister, which is why the bed's name in this game is "Bedman?" Fun fact also about Deliliah: she's the character that Baiken meets and learns to set aside her old desire for revenge in order to look after Delilah, who she sees a lot of herself in. For song recommendations, I'd be really interested in seeing you listen to Out of the Box (Axl's theme), Requiem (I-no's theme), and Gravity (Asuka R#''s theme)

It is heavily implied that after bedman died in the previous game he possesed the bed machine in this game. The circle could refer to the cage of the bed. He is able to see delilah but can't actually reach out and talk to her. This song is him singing about being stuck in a state of not being able to move onto the afterlife but also can't reach the living world (pitch black, pure white, all the same, endless, finite, copy that)

sooo, Bedman and Delilah are my favorite characters of all Guilty Gear so I just had to tell you some more about them. Delilah and Romeo (Bedman's real name) Neumann are siblings with such powerful psychic abilities that their bodies cannot withstand them so they're should always be in a coma-like state lest their bodies would literally crumble. unfortunately, that happened to Romeo because he has joined the enemy side to help create an Absolute World where there will be no death, no sickness and him and Delilah could finally be together outside their shared Dreamworld (yes, they are so powerfull they have a subspace within their mind where they can do anything as they please). so, main villian betrays our boy Bedman and with the last of his powers he frees Delilah from her part of curse so that she can finally be in the outside world. but not only that, he *deletes himself out of this universe right before his death*. he deletes info about himself in Backyard (another universe, containing ALL the data of our universe). his Universal ID is no more and he became the creature outside of the universe. and, to me, with this he (as you guessed correctly) either gives commands or straight up possesses the bed that he once used to carry himself. all of this to protect his sister. my interpritation of the song is that Romeo willingly gave up his opportunity to go into heaven in order to make sure his sister is safe through the body of battered machine on the verge of breaking. which is ironic, because in Xrd story Bedman always said that he hates people who do something for love, yet here he is, with his goals to create an Absolute World just because he loved his sister. and now he is stuck somewhere (we are not sure where, Daisuke and Strive never gave real answer as to what really happened to Romeo after Xrd). but at least, Delilah is safe with Baiken and Bedman can rest easy (hopefully). btw, why I think that Romeo possessed the bed is because we have a few instances in previous games of people returning from afterlife being devoid of all emotions EXCEPT love for the close one. the most famous human, brought back from hell - Zato-1, who is completely emotionless unless is near Millia. the same goes for Bed in Strive, though it cannot express any emotions via lack of programming to do so, it has a strong connection to Delilah and will to protect her at all cost, even at the cost of destroying itself. so yeah, quite possibly the will of Romeo and programming of the Bed are in conflict with eachother. but that's just what I think. as always, great video! and don't worry, we will be patiently waiting for your next reactions of Guilty Gear OSTs.

I couldnt beat the boss stage with what i had left at the moment and its the only one that would drop boxes for me. Elphelt decided if she was at low health she was just going to use her screen clear special repeatedly to make it a fair playing field only for her. So many dead dolls that day.
