Guilty Gear Strive creator confirms Bridget is a trans woman Arc System WorksAfter a bit of ambiguity, Guilty Gear Strive\u2019s creator Daisuke Ishiwatari confirmed that Bridget does identify as a trans woman. Like any good fighting game, the Guilty Gear series features plenty of lore surrounding its large cast of characters. However, Guilty Gear Strive\u2019s latest returning character, Bridget, caused a bit of controversy after some ambiguity regarding her gender identity after release. Now, Guilty Gear\u2019s creator, Daisuke Ishiwatari, has clarified the matter and officially confirmed that Bridget self-identifies as a woman. Bridget officially confirmed as trans woman The confirmation came from the 11th volume of Guilty Gear Strive\u2019s \u201cDeveloper Backyard\u201d blog on September 14, 2022. The blog post mainly gave a rundown of Bridget\u2019s introduction to Guilty Gear Strive, including her backstory and relevant behind-the-scenes info from Guilty Gear Strive\u2019s development team. Here, Ishiwatari said, \u201cWe\u2019ve received many inquiries about Bridget\u2019s gender. After the events of Bridget\u2019s story in Arcade Mode, she self-identifies as a woman. So as to where \u2018he\u2019 or \u2018she\u2019 would be the correct pronoun for Bridget, the answer would be \u2018she.’\u201d For those who may not be familiar with Bridget in the Guilty Gear series, according to Guilty Gear Strive\u2019s official lore, \u201cBridget was born one of two twin sons of a multi-billionaire couple and was given only the best training and tutoring as a child.\u201d The description goes on to explain that, because of a superstition held by Bridget\u2019s village in which male twins were brought to bring misfortune, the townsfolk insisted that \u201cthe younger of any set of male twins be put to death or be exiled from the town upon birth.\u201d As they were unable to allow either outcome to happen, Bridget\u2019s parents instead raised her as their daughter. While Bridget was able to become a successful bounty hunter after the events of Guilty Gear XX, she struggled with trying to understand herself after accomplishing her goal. Now, it seems Bridget\u2019s Arcade Mode ending has officially brought her character arc of self-understanding to a close in Guilty Gear Strive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
