A brief synopsis of Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode 2
Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode 2, titled Belief in Peace, follows Sin and Sol as their pursuit of Unika takes them to Washington, America, during the End-of-War Commemoration Festival, an event they believe Unika will target.
Meanwhile, US President Vernon plans to commemorate the peace by announcing that the devastating Crusade-era weapon built to slay Gears will never be used again and decides to keep its key to prevent future misuse.
As anticipated, Unika makes her move during the festival. Only bounty hunter Bridget, introduced in this episode, spots her in disguise, but Unika manages to steal the key from Vernon. Just then, Sol and Sin dramatically arrive on the scene, leaping directly from their plane to the venue. They immediately confront Unika, and Sol quickly retrieves the stolen key.
Though Sin hopes to resolve things through talk, Unika shows no interest in the same, forcing a fight. Despite being evenly matched at times, the clash escalates, leading both to experience a strange, shared vision whose meaning remains unclear.
As Unika begins to gain the upper hand, Baiken intervenes, just in time to rescue Sin. Unable to continue the fight, Unika escapes without leaving a trace. In the aftermath, Vernon suspects that a traitor may be operating within their ranks.
Elsewhere in Illyria, an enemy group attempts to blow up the frozen Ky and Dizzy, but their efforts are thwarted. The episode gives a glimpse of Unika’s base, where she refers to a mysterious figure as her father and successfully creates a replica of the weapon’s key, making her mission a success.
Meanwhile, as Sin and Sol regroup, Unika’s mention of seeing the future triggers Sol’s memory of an old friend, Axl Low, a time traveler. The episode concludes with a brief look at Axl, currently held captive in an unknown timeline.
What to expect in Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode 3? (speculative)

Additionally, Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode 3 may delve deeper into the mysterious shared vision between Unika and Sin during their clash.
