Love is Blue (Guilty Gear Animation)

"She didn't need to obtain reality... it was already hers to admire."
This is a depiction of the hypothetical last interaction between the pair within I-No's final moments, carried out by the Japanese version of the song "Love is Blue".

They were...drinking tea.

[@uzelac1372]

they watched the sea together...

1:59 "Please..." "Don't go..." "I don't want to lose you again..." *"You won't."* *"Just don't forget."* *"Unlike how I did."* "I wish we had more time..." "I love you." *"I know."* *"I love you too."*

so many characters are Fucked in this universe, but honestly, I think I-no had the shortest stick

1:01 Oh. she FLIES

He believes that she's one of a chain

@@ellingtonf1097 It's no exception, it's just less, I guess you can't trust a gentle tiger! Life (Sustenance) Life (Respected), it's drawn to each other, ubiquity, life (Radiant) Life (Existence), he doesn't need a name to (distinguish her)

[@chaselowell4567]

You condensed both characters of an absolutely schizophrenic lore into 2:00 minutes and the presentation, camera work, symbolism, and visual storytelling. Arcsys should hire you bro.

[@brickpuncher1429]

It is now canon that Axl most certainly can play Guitar.

[@uzelac1372]

there is some old official art from Daisuke that depicts Axl as an acoustic guitar player, this fits with his kind and polite personality, and it contrasts with I-No's loud and heavy rock music

[@DoihaDX]

I have zero idea of their lore, but boy this video gave me the feels

[@Ilia_Salnicov]

Long story short, I-No heard Axl back story and helped him to come back in his real timeline.

[@monke3443]

After a long time of working together (months), I-No realized that they're both parallel universe counterpart of their loved ones

[@Ilia_Salnicov]

@@monke3443I'm sacred of Guilty gear lore.

[@DoihaDX]

@@monke3443 oh damn.... That's... Damn

[@robunnygirl]

And specifically, Axl couldn't go back to his timeline or else the one GG takes place in would no longer exist and everyone would cease to be beyond Axl. SPOILERS FOR STRIVE'S STORY UNDER: During the events of Xrd's story, Axl learns that he could return to his girlfriend whenever he wanted, but everyone would stop existing and chooses to keep everyone else alive instead of going back to his GF, Megumi. The only way Axl could return to his time without the current timeline collapsing is if he swapped places with his GF, which would just keep him away even longer. I-no is Megumi from the current timeline and has the exact same ID as Axl, so after I-no is defeated in Strive's story, I-no swaps with Megumi so that Axl can finally have his partner.

I can't imagine Ino saying a sentence with out cursing.

[@ZurichiVonVorst]

My comment was lost to the void, BUT NO MATTER I SHALL SAY IT AGAIN! This was animated beautifully.

[@fl0wey57]

This is a great example of why fighting games are also pieces of art. (And I’m probably too dumb to explain)

[@uzelac1372]

potential for great storytelling in guilty gear is unreal, I just wanted to exemplify that with this animation

[@ohsillypigeon]

axl WOULD SO play fingerstyle guitar hes such a gay straight fella i love him this was so beautiful youre amazing as always 🥺🥺

[@markthesoviet7737]

[@kvotheosem-sangue]

If art is what gives emotion to a still mind and confort to one drowned by emotions, so this is art. Thanks for your efforts, it paid off!

[@ericraululyeetusdelyeetus5028]

How dare you drop this banger outta fuckin' nowhere

[@uzelac1372]

[@sateka1408]

[@der_shingen8548]

As said before, beautiful direction, execution and pursuit of a quality piece!

[@uzelac1372]

[@thatguyoversea]

not often you see a serious animation! this is really good!! i dont think about the dynamic between ino and axl enough honestly its so interesting

[@uzelac1372]

this video honestly changed me a bit, ive only ever animated gg characters doing silly things or recreating random memes, first time ive tried doing something serious with the characters, dont think i will make these often but im glad i am capable of making them

[@thatguyoversea]

@@uzelac1372 you gotta make more! i love these mate. keep up :)

[@memorableman3709]

What the hell, this looks beautiful???

[@23fruitflies]

[@conno6180]

It's just beautiful

[@raivin7172]

this is just pure beauty, your best one so far

[@arturomacor3615]

It's weird to see I-no without her hat, she looks naked in this outfit even though it shows the least skin. That aside, this is beautiful.

[@ArcadeStriker]

At first I had thought that it would be an interpretation of that final thing with Axl after the final interaction with I-No, but the way you did this really hits hard and paints the picture of who she forgot and yet now has to go...

[@derjahgalgion]

I'm not crying you're crying!

[@Yoshun-1738]

This is really beautifully animated. Hats off to you! 🎩

[@airilopez8515]

Just thought i'd say your stuff id both amazing and hilarious and i cannot wait to see more ❤

[@FaresDesignLTD]

Man I loved every detail, who are these characters why their story is so tragic and beautiful it melts my heart 😭

[@Grimm_Flame]

They're I-no And Axl from Guilty gear. Axl is a time-traveler from 20th century Britain that is stuck in 2180s, which was because his GF, Megumi, was chosen to ascend to godhood and he got caught in the crossfire. Megumi goes on to become I-no but forgot almost everything during her time as a normal human except for the image of Axl. This is basically what goes on I-no's mind when she's about to die in GGST, before switching places with her OG-self, Megumi, and erasing her existence.

[@N1netbattler]

remeber the better times

[@uzelac1372]

How could I just forget that ;)

[@emperorlelouch5696]

Poor Axl man, he deserves better

[@Tom-rd8dd]

he got better tho in a literal sense he got I-no that unfortunately isn't a e guitar playing witch but the normal human one at the end of strive you know the one he was looking for across the time rifts

[@Bloxman12boo]

Imagine if Daisuke pulled a 180 on us and Axl's girlfriend was actually I-no

[@Grimm_Flame]

... So who's gonna tell him?

The Japanese iteration of the song "Love is Blue"

[@CalvinWiens-zi3pz]

Is this cannon?

[@uzelac1372]

it is to me, so I made it the scene isn't cannon, they did have like a final goodbye moment but its not really only about them, so I thought something like this would be more fitting for their ending

[@priv1leged]

axl and ino is the most irritating couple and literally worst match i have ever seen. pure fighting game randomness lore

[@kerryvanskonsol792]

I-no actually counterpart Megumi also know girlfriend axl low
