I think Frederick Bulsara should be the new protagonist.


Risky267

I know you mean sols real name, but something about freddie mercury being in guilty gear seems both cursed and yet very possible

ToiLanh

Guilty gear takes place in the future actually sol is canonically a fan of queen and y2k actually happened

Actual Freddie would be the only GG character that no one could hate.

Mr_Ruu

Reminds me of the Xrd story mode interaction about "St. Elmo's Fire", a significant event in GG's world, and Sol dumbing it down for Sin by calling it a "big-ass lightning bolt". Ky, frustrated with Sol's nothingburger statement, goes in depth about St. Elmo's Fire and, after explaining everything, Sin comes to the conclusion that it's... a big-ass lightning bolt. Cue a proud Sol.


Tiger_Trash

If there were to be a new protag I'd like it to be one of the younger characters already in the story(Ram and Sin seem like easy picks) or someone completely new. It would be really funny if they made a new character that's just Sol in every way but name, and none of the characters in game noticed.

Having the main duo of Ram and Sin being the main characters could be cool.


Tiger_Trash

Yeah there's a lot of potential there. Though, I'd be interested in seeing who the new villain would be in that case too!


cuak12345

Well in My theory maybe it can be happy chaos again but from another dimesion or a new powerfull being from a another dimensión because the happy chaos story mode tell us that nago for a weird reason had another dimesion Powers


Ake-TL

worse_in_practice

I feel like Ram and Sin would make the most sense, but I also want more Delilah content and hope she'll be a reoccurring major side character


Jpw2018

Baiken and Delilah is such an interesting side story and I want more of it


UnlimitedPostWorks

I totally agree. Honestly, I can see Sin, Ram and Delilah working PERFECTLY as a new main trio. They have the perfect personalities(Sin being an overpowered shonen protagonist, Ram being the logical and "cold" and Delilah being the smartass), are "younger but legacy characters"(Ram is, in some weird GG way, Sol's daughter, Sin is Kyle's daughter and Delilah being the sister of one of the most beloved antagonists) and they are already pretty beloved by the fanbase. Other than that, narratively it works WONDER. HC understands that Sol and Ky's stories are ended and hurts them/take them to create a new main character for his story, only to all of three stepping up to defeat him. I can also see some cool shenanigans where Sin takes over his other eye to match HC and unlocks a true DI, or Ram taking Flame of Purgatory to do the same thing(making them the new "Guilty Gears")

I want a story like smash bros ultimate but instead of kirby going around saving everyone from evil, it's potemkin.

He's actually in smash bros (And a lot of other characters like nago as souls or ghosts or something) Edit: ~~[here](https://supersmashbrosultimate.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Guilty_Gear_Spirits) is the link for non believers~~ Edit2: nvm I'm just dumb :(

derpfaceddargon

Sin, he's the son of ky, raised by sol. Optimistic as hell, and just coming into himself

Realistically: probably Sin. Hopefully? POTEMKIN, MOTHERFUCKERS! HEAT KNUCKLE HEAT KNUCKLE HAMMER FALL HAMMER FALL POTEMKIN BUSTAAA POTEMKIN BUSTAAA POTEMKIN BUSTAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAGH I FORGOT FFFFFFFFFUCK I SHALL NOW EXECUTE MYSELF VIA HEAVENLY POTEMKIN BUSTAAAAAAAAAAA


ES_Curse

Ky gets a new rival similar to Sol that hates him for being a gear, which puts Ky into Sol’s role as the aloof gear that keeps saving the world


cldw92

I kinda like this to be honest. Ky is still relatively young and he still plays an active part in the story. Sin would make a poor protagonist unless they timeskip him or magically mature him, it would change the total mood of the story given how much he's currently played off as a comic relief character.


Little-Protection484

Or the mood of the story could get darker and have sin as the protag being kinda a light in the darkness but idk


Prestigious-Mix7135

I agree, this works tbh


Prestigious-Mix7135

This argument doesn’t really make sense. There’s protagonists in fiction that are comic relief but also can still be deep enough to work.


Monnomo

Delilah put her on the boxart


Nu2Th15

Sin, Ram, El, and Delilah probably make up the core protags moving forward.


Lord_Toademort

Clearly it's Patriot, he's basically sol and ky merged into the body of a buff corgi. https://preview.redd.it/tffouo2kppyc1.png?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c6087ef8f9c559c6d097a5b46e65538c9266e8b


First-Loan4154

Ramletal and Elphelet with gears and Valentive focus story. Ram and Ephel have differences that can be used to look at situation form different perspective and adapatation with humanity.


hivEM1nd_

Ram + Elphelt + Sin would be the greatest protag trio


polarbearreal

yes, and all of their themes in the newest game are birthday train level goofy as they do wacky shit to help people and save the world


SgtRathbone

Seeing more of sin and ram would be great, especially in a protagonist duo situation


EdgyUsername90

adult delilah


AlternativeZucc

Delilah as is would be nice. Coming to terms with what her brother did. And that while he had good intentions, he fucked up ***hard.*** His punishment? Death, never getting to see his sister or the perfect world he tried to create. (Or the world he realised he was too blind to see.) The thing is, that punishment affected more than just himself. He was just too thickheaded to understand.


GeneralBurzio

Nago, because black samurai vampire drip. I also vote for Gio to take Ky's role as secondary protagonist because of her rivalry with Nago and because dog


jevilslittledevils

Bedman, the children yearn for potential cosmic dread and cosmic horror through the funny bed.


black_knight1223

🅱️otemkin


Brickinatorium

As a Ky fan, for some reason I'm perfectly fine with him being the secondary protagonist forever. Maybe even having him as a mentor character would be nice.


Kai_Enjin

Baiken. Only because I want it.


sergeen101

I want Nagoriyuki. Or some sorta PoV of the story from him being this outsider into this cast of wacky ass characters. What's happened after the whole nonsense with Happy Chaos. Learn about the cool Samurai, have him interact and drop some strange lore bombs, travel the world, see the sights, and sometimes come around to the big threats if they were to ever show up and slap it once or twice.


StriderZessei

Nago and Slayer buddy duo comedy? 


Lemmonaise

It's going to probably be Ky, considering all the setup he's gotten with the dragon install and scales of juno stuff. But I'm hoping he shares the spotlight with Sin.


zombodiy

It’s gonna be Ragna


Erst09

Sin or Ram


Komandr

I would say Sin, but he's too upbeat to replace Sol. I feel like Leo could have a good brooding protag arc.

If Sol and Jack-O have a child I think they'd make a cool MC

Biologically, they already do. https://preview.redd.it/dnj31fagusyc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf3f7488b62e00f20738fa0aad1825e8758abc0c


Cjninkartist

It should be Ky next his story at the moment could be very interesting and it would be sad not to see it fully play out.


AmaranthSparrow

Sin was clearly created to be the next generation protagonist for the series, IMO.


RedDeathJesus

Maybe Sin would be the protagonist and Frederick Bulsara as the dlc that is highly technically and relies on technology


CookieMiester

I think Ramlethal has a ways to go and a good potential for storytelling


CasualJojoLover

Sin or Zappa (Maybe we can get him getting the scales of Juno back from his dad who knows)

Sol badguy 2


maxler5795

Id like for sol to still help somehow. Hes still a 150+, dare i say 175+ year old man with a lot of experience in battle. And he, suposedly, still has fire magic


MarkDecent656

Probably Ky and Sin, leaning more towards Sin


GenericHuman1203934

Luke, from Streets™


Zaenos

For some reason, I've felt like the next protagonist will be Happy Chaos, and I can see it working. He'd certainly be an unorthodox one. Less about any struggle to succeed and more about tugging at various strings in the world.


EstablishmentOne8547

I kind of hope we follow Sin, Ram, Elphelt and Raven as a collected group. Mainly, Ramlethal trying to help the world, her sister and Sin as major side characters, and occasional appearances by Rav-"got upgraded to babysitter accidentally but is successfully teaching Sin basic fucking math"-en. Maybe a B plot properly following Faust and Chronus? Honestly just seeing Ram evolve as a character with her cavalcade of fuck ups and the adult in the room would be a blast.


Translation_Lupin

Iirc Ishwatari retracked on Sol's story ending. He got more story to tell about Sol

orangerJuiceman

Hopefully Gabriel🤞


ToonIkki

Think the common opinion is Sin + Ram with Happy Chaos being the antagonist or something


JTBJack_

Ky probably but someone else would be cool


Machivode

EVERYONE AT ONCE


LordCypher1317

Thankfully, a short timeskip with Gear children will be short enough that anyone from the main cast would be relatively unaffected. Frederick and Jack-O's kid or even if Ky and Dizzy had another kid, would likely grow up fast. Unlike Sin, who grew up in times of trouble, a new character being born now to take the role of protagonist would probably have the full support of parents and siblings and would likely grow up smarter than Sin. Though by that time, maybe Sin would actually be a smart enough mentor? It's not like his mental growth was stunted by sugar water, right?


some_furry_fuck

Like most people are saying I feel like Sin is being lined up as the next main protagonist. That is unless Daisuke listens to my prayers and his vision includes turning Guilty Gear into a Cooking Mama knockoff featuring Venom and Robo-Ky's Bakery

its gonna be a dragon ball situation where they try and fail to replace sol and so sol comes back as main protag


Moisture-Eyes

honestly Ramlethal. She has a lot of space to grow, is basically Sol's daughter, has was even set up to be the main character in that little dlc story mode (but then she did nothing and I cried.) Sin is a bit one-note to take centre stage, i think, and Ky's story is alongside Sol's.

The obvious answer is probably Ky but honestly I think Ram could be pretty interesting.


nateowaggins

Gekuul

Sin would just make the most sense. He has been Sol's apprentice/adopted son for forever so it makes sense for him to take over as the new protag. He does also have the vibes of the average anime protagonist, that being stupid and hungry lmao

Ram, CEO of Autism

noahboah

id really love the ram, sin, elph trio to become the new faces of the game ala luke, jaime, kimberly of SF6, with legacy characters like sol and ky taking a backseat much like ken, ryu, and chun are now. Of the 3, I personally feel like Ram would be the best face of the franchise in a post-sol world. Sin inheriting Ky's role feels more satisfying to me, idk.


Splatboy0612

Robo-Ky


LordSmol

DumbestRandom

Pot. No arguments allowed.


megalocrozma

Usually when fighting games do a new generation, they introduce a lot of brand new characters (including a new protagonist) often with relations to previous characters, while bringing back a few legacy characters. So while Sin and the Valentines would probably get a major role, and other young characters (Haehyun, Bridget, Delilah etc.) would possibly return as well, I definitely think the main character would be completely new, with Sol and Jack-O's child being a pretty safe bet.

DiegoOruga

I feel like the kids (Sin, Ram and Elph) together with Baiken have enough plot hooks already to be the center, I see the Sin Team can become the main focus like Sol and Ky, and Baiken with her whole enlightment thing together with Nago and Delilah be a big side plot like the guild of assasins were, since most of them have already realised stories. What I would really love tho is a ragtag group consisting of the Japanese guys (Anji, Baiken, Chipp and Nago) doing whatever, I love their entire dynamic, and if you add Answer the grupo would be even more complete in terms of archetypes.


Copyright-Demon

Ripjaw149

BUSTAAAAA!!!


Hero2Zero91

The ending is confusing because it implies Sol loses his Gear cells at the end, but the arcade stories apparently take place after the main story so how Sol is able to briefly turn into a Gear for HMC is weird I know he'd still be able to use fire magic since it's a thing everyone can do, but does it mean he's 'nerfed' in terms of story power now?

I'm not to familiar with the guilty gear story, but if im not mistaken sin and ram are friends so having them share the spot of main character and kinda be rivals would be cool

robo ky


stun-dipper

As a Ky enjoyer, I hope it will be Ky. He does have the dragon install now, which kind of feels like the torch was handed over to him. It could focus on him and Dizzy, along with Ram, Sin and the special unit. Maybe more on Deliah and Baiken too, who knows maybe those two will join the special unit.


TheRealKazuma12904

LET'S GO MY BOY SIN FOR THE WIN


Jonathanoddwill

personalty id be interested in a story where there is no one protagonist with a large overarching plot. things jump around between deuteragonists giveing former side characters more to do and more to their story's. new arcs and what not


BobTheImmortalYeti

happy chaos because fuck it why not


I_use_reddit_number

clearly it should a.b.a and her adventures with Paracelsus


BrokenCrowBeak

A few people have said Delilah for reasons that make sense, however I say Delilah because then the bedframe and its bum ass move set that I love would always have a slot in the games going forward and people are gonna try and play that cause they’re the main character


GrubMane

It’s likely gonna be Sin but I’m gonna throw up if Faust’s arc isn’t continued

Either Sin or Potemkin All of 'em have potential to be protagonists, but sin Is the one More likely to be so and Potemkin really needs a story so badly

as I've said since the start. Sol and Jack-o have a daughter name Luna, she steals the rocket ship he's building, goes to the moon, gets raised by Asuka, like how Sol raised Sin. THis will happen Daisuke revealed it to me personally. if you disagree please come back to this post in 5-8 years when I'm right as fuck.


dantheforeverDM

Well they e said Sol still has some power, so while his story is basically over, he'd still be in the roster, properly with a much more conservative, calm play style.

Sin because he's essentially Sol's apprentice and represents both him and Ky. Delilah, she got a whole story dedicated to her.


writingandstuff19

Someone completely new or perhaps Sin. Although I have a feeling there will be a timeskip in the next game.
