  Have you been playing as A.B.A ? Did you like her design? Which Guilty Gear character would you like to see next?

  I believe you’re missing her perfect run arcade mode story, talking about how she questions whether or not their relationship is actually healthy but eventually working it out.

  Called out by Daisuke, the team is amused at the theory that her hair is oxidized metal, but by his statement it's just hairdye and wanting to show that she is more open to the outside world.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is4YY8ZNcPo&amp;t=618">10:18</a> from an interview done by I believe rooflemonger its stated that A.B.A willingly changed her hair color since she wanted to try fitting in more now that she&apos;s free to wander the outside world. <br><br>The corrosion is just a fan speculation but I think both are good reasons, with the first one being more relevant to her being out amongst people.

  Here&apos;s a comment I stole from @Elementroar:<br><br>In their Stage 9 expert ending,<br>Para actually talks about his blood demon<br>axe days as a bad thing, that he lost his<br>sanity over his bloodlust. Mechanically, the<br>new &apos;Muroha/Jealous rage&apos; mode not<br>draining ABA&apos;s health could be cos he<br>actively doesn&apos;t want to drain her blood<br>anymore. They figured out that ABA&apos;s fear of<br>losing him was causing emotional instability<br>that affected his shapeshifting, so he<br>assured her he never thought about leaving<br>her, they just need to work out their<br>relationship to be less toxic and have<br>boundaries.

  First off, honoured that I was referenced by @zachstarattak7320 ; and I wanted to add some very interesting facts about Paracelsus that was revealed 20 years ago in a Japan only audio drama CD called the Night of Knives Vol.2 (you can find an upload of it and links to an English transcript on YouTube). <br><br>In the audio drama, Slayer had come across and fought ABA and Paracelsus, with Para recognizing Slayer and being embarrassed to be found in his current state. Para then begged Slayer to get him away from ABA and to wield him. But eventually, Slayer figured out several things, the most important being that Paracelsus was lying about wanting to return to the battlefield, or that he wanted to leave ABA.<br>- Paracelsus was suppressing his most destructive abilities and even some character traits, seemingly for ABA.<br>- Slayer knew Para could in fact take complete control over ABA’s mind at any time, and force her to kill anything and everyone around her. If he wanted her to leave him, Para could force her to do that.<br>- Slayer noted Para’s heart was already turning “gentle and kind” even by then, due to ABA’s influence.<br>- Slayer then figured that Para is an empathetic weapon, that’s affected by his wielder’s personality and thoughts. Because ABA saw Paracelsus as her “key to a hopeful future”, that had ‘bound’ Para to fulfil that ideal she had of him. So he was gradually changing to ‘fit’ the idea she had of him, and he became protective of her as a result too.<br>- Feeling that the two of them do best to support each other as they emotionally developed, Slayer decided he’d check back on their progress in 20 years time. He also theorised that Paracelsus would eventually gain a human form too.<br><br>And yup, it’s 20 years since then. With STRIVE, we see the emotional development Slayer predicted come through, AND he is the next DLC character. Is this coincidence, or all sort of Daisuke’s grand vision!

  Sooooooo he didn&apos;t fix her, she fixed him? He was bloodthirsty once but due to her love for him he calmed down? Lmao that strangely reminds me of Mako being the only thing to keep Ryuko calm when she went berserk on KLK.

  a.b.a honestly had a massive impact on me recently,<br>I was actually like her for a while now over someone I loved as we both kind of hurt each other in the process as I helped her, putting my life on hold and it nearly killed me mentally.<br>and she and paracelsus helped me see the unhealthy problems my relationship was having.<br>I don&apos;t want to give more details because a lot of bad things happened on both sides and i&apos;m not proud, but now, I&apos;m beginning to take the first steps to fix myself and my relationship to be healthy again.<br>I wasn&apos;t expecting to be shown my flaws by A.B.A but I am glad it was shown to me. thank you A.B.A
