However, due to Dizzy\u2019s nature as a half-Gear (a race of magical humans that were created to advance human evolution but were repurposed as weapons of war), many view Ky and Dizzy\u2019s union as unnatural and taboo. The wedding is crashed by Unika, a human girl intent on preventing the wedding and eliminating all Gears.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining Ky, Dizzy, and Unika are Guilty Gear characters Sol Badguy (who looks to have regained some of his power after having the Flame of Corruption removed from his body in Guilty Gear Strive), Sin Kiske (son of Ky and Dizzy), Jack-O\u2019, Johnny, Bridget, Baiken, Elphelt Valentine, Ramlethal Valentine, Leo Whitefang, and Vernon E.
