From that point, she swore revenge, training herself in the use of the katana and dedicated herself to hunting "That Man" down. (Baiken was a hidden character in Guilty Gear but became a normal character in the later installments.) Armed with a katana, she also has many hidden surprise weapons within the sleeve of her severed arm: a Japanese mace, a fireworks cannon, a bladed fan, a chain rope, a hook, a claw, and a spear. How this is accomplished is unknown, but it's assumed to be related to the game's out-of-this-world motif, perhaps involving the common gag known as Hammerspace.

Leopaldon

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear Isuka

Very little is known about this character, the boss of GG Isuka. An Arcadia article mentions that he is a good man at heart who somehow manages to control a giant Gear, but otherwise little is known about him, his Gear, or his faithful dog. Moreover, some unofficial sources have stated that Leopaldon, or the Gear itself, is female, due to the mark on the Gear's shoulder.

May

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

Robo-Ky

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear XX

Robo-Ky is not simply one character, but in fact a line of robotic copies of Ky Kiske created by the shadowy Post War Administration Bureau. For some reason, Robo-Ky is often mistaken for the real Ky Kiske and vice versa during the game's story mode, even though his face is obviously metallic, his voice is higher-pitched and robotic, and he constantly blurts out *GIGIGI* or *BZZZT* noises during story sequences. Robo-Ky, as only shown in Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival. ...

• Revised Appearance: Guilty Gear XX#Reload

In story mode, Robo-Ky functions the same in #Reload as he does in XX, but that's where the similarity ends - the revised Robo-Ky contains an entirely different sprite set and movelist from his XX predecessor. With regard to explaining the existence of Robo-Ky from XX, it is simply assumed that he was an early model and that the Robo-Ky from #Reload is "the real deal". This also implies that the other characters have never met the Robo-Ky from XX.

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear Isuka

Zako-dan

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear Isuka

Meaning roughly "Lackey Gang" in Japanese, Zako-dan is a mysterious organization added into the console releases of Isuka. These characters seem to be around just for comic relief.

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear XX

A hapless young man who has found himself possessed by a number of angry and vicious spirits, most notably a woman named S-ko who often takes control of his body to attack others.

Because of this, Zato-1 was able to take control of his shadow, and use it as a weapon to gain great power. With this power, he made himself leader of the Assassins Guild. However, as his body weakened, Eddie was able to take more and more control until Zato-1's death. Zato despises all women, due to past connections with character Millia Rage.
