History Headscratchers / GuiltyGear

** There are four known Valentines - Valentine, Elphelt, Ramlethal, and Jack-O - their main purpose being to fuse with Justice. The first three were created by the Universal Will in order to carry out the destruction of humanity. Elphelt was more or less a sleeper agent, hence her FaceHeelTurn at the end of Xrd -SIGN-. Jack-O, on the other hand, was ''not'' created by the UW, instead being a creation of That Man/ Asuka R. Kreuz, and was more meant to bring Aria back from the dead, in a sense. Happy Chaos, however, is ''not'' a Valentine, the name instead being adopted from the ''true'' Happy Chaos Valentine, who was never completed. His true identity is [[spoiler:The Original, A.K.A. the man who brought humanity magic, having been driven mad by a century and a half trapped in the Backyard.]]

** It's probably a reference to his job as a bounty hunter (the handcuff represents arrest).

*** As revealed in [[MeaningfulName Revelator]], "That Man"'s real name is [[spoiler: [[StrangerBehindTheMask Asuka R. Kreutz]].]] He is called 'That Man' by Sol because it's a way to dehumanize the object of his vengeance, which in turn makes it easier for Sol, since he ''was'' Sol and Aria's colleague in the Gear Project. The rest follow suit because they don't know [[spoiler: Asuka's]] name; He and Raven play along because they don't care to correct the cast, plus he has more important matters like stopping Justice from reviving and wrecking shit.

* In Overture, what exactly is [[spoiler:Diva!]]Valentine referring to when she yells "You Weren't Here!" While the majority of her dialogue is just anger-fueled yelling directed primarily at Sol, this particular line seems a bit incoherent. The only guess I could make outside of a possible translation error is that maybe it has something to do with [[spoiler: inheriting memories from Aria upon transforming into a large fortress-like Gear]], and is akin to her saying something along the lines of "You weren't here/there for me" however this is completely conjecture. Granted, she's hardly anything resembling sane by this point but at least the rest of her statements make sense in context, which is why the meaning of this line still continues to allude me.
** Just spitballing here, but ''-REVELATOR-'' shows that [[spoiler: Aria was forcibly brainwashed into becoming Justice by the Universal Will during mankind's first expedition into the Backyard. During That Man's flashback, Sol was nowhere to be seen in the control room. Valentine could be remembering that from Aria's perspective, Sol wasn't there for her as she got [[BrainwashedAndCrazy transformed into a genocidal monster]]]]. This does rely on a certain character's memory not being self-serving, but this is the best that this troper can think of.
