A brief synopsis of Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode 3

Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode 3, titled A Soaring Angel, continues Sin and Sol's pursuit of Unika. During this time, they cross paths with the U.S. Senator Nerville Hammer, the leader of the Anti-Gear faction. Although Nerville presents himself as understanding toward Sin, Sol remains skeptical of his true motives and warns Sin to tread carefully around him.

Meanwhile, Elphelt's investigation into the recent attack on the barrier protecting Dizzy and Ky leads her to a potential trap, a desolate laboratory. Her instincts prove accurate as Unika activates the Crusade-era weapon designed to eliminate Gears, unleashing a devastating explosion.

Elphelt's status remains unknown. Jack-O deduces that the explosion was merely a warning, and Illyria is likely Unika's next target.

Back with Sin and Sol, an important truth is revealed. Sin is a Command-type Gear descended from Justice, the Gear responsible for igniting the Crusade, and possesses the power to command all other Gears. Sol urges him to never use this dangerous ability.

The two soon reach Unika's location in an underground city and confront her. Sin attempts to reason with her, expressing his desire to prevent another Crusade and revealing his own identity as a Gear. However, this only fuels Unika's anger and intensifies the clash.

As the U.S. military joins the fray, the confrontation spirals into chaos. Sin makes repeated efforts to de-escalate the conflict, even placing himself in harm's way, but it proves futile. Sol shoots Unika, causing her to fall off a building. Sin attempts to rescue her and, unknowingly, triggers his Gear-controlling abilities to awaken a nearby dormant Gear that cushions their fall.

This sparks panic among the crowd. Baiken and Johnny arrive just in time to stabilize things. Episode 3 closes on a tense note as Sin lies unconscious, while a battered and fleeing Unika comes across Bridget.

Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode 4 is expected to focus on Unika's unexpected encounter with Bridget, raising the possibility of a confrontation, especially given Bridget's role as a bounty hunter and Unika being a wanted individual.

With Unika now wounded, Baiken is also expected to resume her pursuit in episode 4. Meanwhile, Sin may need some time to recover from his injuries before jumping back into action.

Additionally, Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode 4 is likely to delve into the aftermath of Sin's unexpected control over the Gear. Viewers can anticipate reactions from Sol and the others, along with potential consequences this revelation could bring to the larger narrative.
