Guilty Gear Strive Dual Rulers Episode 8: Sin Attacks Nerville's Core; Recap, Release Date, Where To Watch And More

The seventh Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode, titled 'Dark Sun,' saw Sin and his allies face future Nerville's colossal form, whose main body was hidden within a rift encased in a multidimensional barrier. Ramlethal and Elphelt's surprise attack forced the Nerville to withdraw temporarily.

With nine hours until his recovery, Jack-O' organizes a plan to breach the barrier using amplified magic. Unika, despite her doubts, boosts the spell and breaks the rift, only to be pulled inside by Nerville. Sin then leads a global counteroffensive, rallying Gears and forming an infiltration team. The episode ends as Sin reaches Nerville's core.

Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers Episode 8 will depict the decisive clash between Sin and the core of Nerville, now vulnerable within his Gear-like form. With Unika imprisoned and the world overwhelmed by clones, the infiltration team must navigate Nerville's interior and execute their plan to use his own virus-infused bullet against him.

Unika's fate and Axl's potential influence as a time traveler may play key roles as well. As the allies converge in the season finale, this final confrontation will determine whether humanity and Gears can escape destruction.
