[edit] Article start

Got this article made. I think I was vaguely skimpy on the details of the "gender confusion" bit, so if anyone dares to delve into that ... ;) Yar Kramer 08:21, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Hahaha nice, I liked that little barb about all those people who can't get the facts straight. -RTL 16 May 2005 (GMT)
Yeah, I found a web page once listing a buncha different characters from various video games who were gender-confusing (it included Bridget and Justice), and there was a friend of the author who was prone to saying "NO! Bridget's a girl! LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
Furthermore, I'm fond of recounting to people who don't know about Guilty Gear that "in GameSpy's 'Top 10 hottest video game chicks' survey, Bridget came in 17th, despite the fact that technically, he doesn't qualify." :D Yar Kramer 16:17, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
Everybody's gay for Bridget! But really, among erotic manga and art fans Bridget has been called "The Yaoi Gateway Drug" since works involving him has caused otherwise heterosexual male fans interested in yaoi. Also, there's the fact that since he just doesn't fit in other categories of erotica, material involving him has been placed in it's own unique category. Hell, on the Burichan imageboard, there is an entire sub-board dedicated to him. --Paul Soth 00:38, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
XD XD XD
Actually, I'm pretty sure BuriChan was created specifically for Bridget (hence the name). But 5chan also had a Bridget board of its own, yeah. Yar Kramer 05:21, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

My understanding was that Bridget had a sister who was prophesized to be powerful, and the world could not know that she had a twin brother, thus he was dressed up to hide this. The reason he's out hunting bounties is to prove to his parents that he is a worthwhile child as well.

Um, no, everywhere I've looked says the same as it says here: Bridget has an identical twin brother, and the reason for his disguise as a girl is that twin boys is bad luck. I've never heard anything about a "sister prophesized to be powerful", where'd you hear that? --Yar Kramer 17:36, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Yeah. Yar's right on this one. That's what it says in every official source, and if I'm not mistaken, the beginning text of his story mode. Digital Watches 13:38, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bias

"Due to his adorable appearance..."

Surely that's an opinion. I'm editting out the bias in this article.

[edit] Just wondering

This wiki says that in all three endings, Bridget joins the Jellyfish Pirates. I don't recall ever reading something like this in his scenario. Does anyone have evidence for this? Thank you in advance. :-) Edit: I vaguely remember when Dizzy gave him a pirate hat, but I don't remember anyone asking him to join them.

I don't think it's in all three endings, but yeah, come to think of it, I don't think it's particularly accurate. --Yar Kramer 02:50, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bridget and That Man

I heard a rumor recently that Bridget has the essence of Ano Otoko inside him (or something to that effect). Any evidence in-game to back that up? The S

None whatsoever. I know Axl has some kinda "parallel existence" with Raven, but, nothing on Bridget. --Yar Kramer 02:40, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Original gender

I was told somewhere (on the internet) that Bridget was in fact a girl named Yo-yo in an early pre-release version of the game who had the same voice and character design, but the sex was changed to male to make the story surrounding the character more interesting Can anyone shed some light on this? --Burbster 02:11, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I never heard of this, and I was into Guilty Gear back when X was out. Sounds like your friend is making stuff up. Danny Lilithborne 02:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Hahaha, wasn't a friend, just something on a video game forum. I doubted it myself. Burbster 18:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I'd give them the benafit of the doubt and make a snide comment about Lilith, who has the same VA as Bridget, but I don't think there is much doubt. --Yar Kramer 04:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually, according to the interview with Daisuke Ishiwatari in the Guilty Gear XX artbook, the rumor checks out:
(27)---The character Bridget, introduced in "Guilty Gear XX," looks like a girl but is actually a boy, right? What was your intention in deciding on creating this kind of character?
Ishiwatari: The creation of Bridget as a boy happened at the very last second; during development I was drawing him as purely a girl. It's just that when there is a need to give a worldly backbone (to the game), in order for me to try to not forget each character, and in order to revive the character, I give them my very heart. As a result, the creation of Bridget as actually a boy instead of a girl was because I thought he could become my alter ego. Well, if there was a need for it the reverse-- a girl that looks like a boy-- that would be okay too, but it doesn't look pretty game-wise. It's also somewhat calculated (laughs)...

[edit] Roger

I was wondering if there was anything to back up roger being a robot? If not wouldent that be speculation?--Lucky hat 03:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ky's "bag of money"

Didn't Ky give Bridget a list of bounties that did exist for him to go and catch? This would make sense, as he could clearly see that Bridget was strong enough to capture people like Millia and Baiken. It would seem silly for Ky to just hand him a sack of cash, even if he is a real nice guy. (And besides, what good are Euros in England? Unless GGXX is foreshadowing a future where the UK accepts the Euro... eep! NB: I'm just kidding about that last part.)

No, the actual list was given to him (and Jam) by I-No. —Yar Kramer 00:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
I know, but what I meant was, didn't Ky give Bridget a genuine list? Again, I just find that more realistic.
Yes, at the end of Bridget's story, he did.--68.100.222.184 08:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Music Reference?

The opening bars of "Simple Life" are nearly identical in all but tempo to the opening of Early Man's "War Eagle," which was released in 2005 (i.e. well after GGXX). Is this just a coincidence, were they both inspired by an earlier song, or might Early Man have decided to give the game a nod, for whatever reason? 70.110.247.129 06:04, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Recently I added a trivia about the connection between Bridget Verdant of Mew Mew power and Bridget's Verdant named stage. Can I ask, why it has been deleted? Eddie303 22:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Because it's a coincidence. JuJube 23:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
