Guilty Gear to Guilty Gear XX:AC

• Many of the game's scenes which involve Dizzy and her interaction with other characters.
  • In GGX, she makes friends with the most unexpected people considering that she is a wanted criminal and a feared command-type Gear. She makes friends with Potemkin, a military man, Ky Kiske, a police officer and former Crusader^note Whom she'll later marry, and especially, Johnny, a pirate who takes her into his group.
  • In the Drama CD, we learn that Dizzy's wish is to have a friend that will accept her despite what she is. Later when Jose, Dizzy's only friend, apparently abandons her, Testament says the words "I'm with you" and tells themself that their new purpose in life is to protect her. This is very heartwarming when you connect it to Testament's story which they narrated earlier where they were a kind person who was turned into a killing machine.
  • One of the paths in Dizzy's story mode in XX ends with an encounter between her and That Man. Rather than act antagonistically towards her, That Man encourages Dizzy to live on in spite of her reputation as a Gear, proclaiming her to be a beacon of hope for the world, and he imparts these words to her just in time for the Jellyfish Pirate Crew to arrive into the scene to get Dizzy back. It's a nice insight not just into Dizzy's character, but for That Man's as well, showing that despite his status as an antagonist, his motives aren't all that bad.
  • In Accent Core, Dizzy and Testament fight over the idea of trusting humans. Realizing that Dizzy is determined to live as a human, they tell her never to see them again. Instead of being hurt, Dizzy kindly replies that Testament will one day learn to forgive humans and they will see each other again.
  • For that matter, in spite of all their aggression and misanthropy towards humanity, if Testament beats Kliff in AC+ Arcade Mode, their win quote is a meek "Father...I..."
  • Dizzy's has an ending in Midnight Carnival where Sol calms her down after she loses control of her power. She wakes up crying, feeling warm and comforted and asks herself if Gears like her have parents. Sol watches her from afar.
• Johnny's moments with May and the members of his crew, despite the fandom's joke of Johnny being a paedophile. Johnny (as we know it) is a womanizer with dashing looks and sex appeal. But still, he chooses to stick with his adopted family, and treasures May the most. It is stated in his profile that his father died from a Gear attack when he was 13, yet still, he looks for Dizzy because she's clearly in danger and happily takes her into his crew.
• In the Battle of Rome, Ky fights an army of Gears alone with no means of escape, all to save a single person while Sol does the same to rescue him. In the original timeline, Ky dies and Sol cries at his demise. In the current timeline, where things are better, the young captain (who is in fact dead serious all the time) smiles in relief when Sol arrives.
  Ky: Ah, nothing... if you're here, I feel safe.
• Venom's and Millia's respective endings in Accent Core where they finally move on from losing Zato and agree to stop fighting each other. This is much more poignant because of Venom's love for Zato that is never returned. Despite Millia betraying the man he loved most, Venom, knowing that Millia suffered the same as he, pardons her crime.
  • After Millia and Venom's confrontation, we have Eddie, the beast that lives in Zato's corpse, asking Millia to remember him before he dies. Millia agrees and vows to herself to keep on living to carry on the memory of the people she killed.
  • Venom's 2nd ending shows an alternate scenario where Venom disbands the Guild and lives on as a billiard player. He meets a boy named Eddie who has lost his home. Venom decides to take care of the boy as he reminds him of his memories with Zato.
• The GG Xtra Manga offers a scene where Ky meets Kliff, his idol, for the first time. Ky, who is around 7 years old, runs alone in a snowy town and tells himself that if he doesn't fight he'll just die. When he arrives at where Kliff is, the commander asks if he lost his mother. Ky replies that she's dead and he wants to fight in the war. Kliff tells him that he might get killed, but Ky remains determined; finally, Kliff raises his Dragonslayer on Ky and scares the shit out of him. Kliff explains that he's just a kid but is really impressed. He pats Ky's head and tells him to survive in five years and meet him again. Ky runs off crying with a brave face.

Guilty Gear 2

• In Sol's short story, Sin, who is just physically 4 years old gets in between Sol and Ky who are beating each other up. The little child tells Sol to stop because his mother, who is also there, cries when Ky gets hurt. The anti-social and foul- mouthed Sol did stop punching Ky.
• Sin's dialogue with Ky at Missions 15 and 16 in Overture. Ky arrives with an army to help Sol and the others defeat the Vizuel Army. Sol leaves Sin with his father and an awkward meeting follows. After exchange of words, Ky admits to Sin that he wasn't a good father to him and explains his duty as king. Sin is then annoyed at Ky because he's "always right" and asks him why he cares more about other people than his own family, but soon after, the kid promises his father that he'll "save his ass" for his mother's sake. After a father and son tag team versus the lolita Valentine army, Ky sends off Sin to follow Sol. Sin hesitates to leave his father in the middle of battle and the two have the following dialogue:
  Ky: Now hurry. And son, come back alive for your mother's sake.
  Sin: Don’t... start acting... like my dad! The old man is my only dad. But at least... now I know that you love Mom. That's why... the same goes for you. If you die and make Mom sad, I'll never forgive you.
  Ky: Yes. I promise.
  Sin: And one more thing! If you wanna act like a dad, don't talk so formally. Just "hey you" or "what the hell" is fine.
• The part where Sol is trapped in the dimension alone and thought of never being able to go back home is a heartwarming scene once you realize that the anti-social Sol considers going home.
