Her main stage is called "Heaven" and features a large stairway.Aria, who is Justice before her gearization, gets her name from an obscure note that is, obscure unless you live in the countries of former USSR band with the same name (spelt as "Ария").She also possesses two moves: "Michael Sword" and its Overdrive variant, "Michael Blade", a shout out Saint Michael, an archangel who was usually depicted as being armed to the teeth and a dangerous fellow to get on the wrong side of.It can be argued that she is named after the Metallica album ".Justice: One of her Overdrives is called " Gamma Ray".Another music reference would be about an Englishman dating, and marrying a Japanese girl (Megumi).Said Overdrive is also a walking JoJo reference, involving Axl striking Jotaro Kujo's signature pose when using it after its activation, and it being able to stop time just like The World and Star Platinum: The World. Axl gets new Overdrive in Strive called "One Vision".Axl's time slips are reminiscent of the time travel wormholes in Terminator.As of -Revelator- it is shown that he's actually a magical Time Master, bringing the reference full circle. In fact if you use him as your system voice in Xrd, he makes a pretty obvious reference to the show if one chooses Zato-1 on the character select screen. Being a British time traveler all but makes him a definite shout-out to Doctor Who.Axl also takes cues from Billy Kane, from his dress sense (bandana, Union Jack-pattern shirt) to his fighting style (long-range pokes, counters, "leap-off-the-screen-and-dive"-attack, flaming weapon spin Overdrive).note Moreso because Ishiwatari used to work at SNK. His stage in the first game features pixel-sized background cameos ◊ of Geese Howard, Athena Asamiya, Kyo Kusanagi, Joe Higashi, Mai Shiranui, Andy Bogard and Terry Bogard.And "Make Oneself", his theme song from X onwards, may be a reference to " Make Yourself.".His theme song in the first Guilty Gear is called "The March of the Wicked King," a reference to " The March Of The Black Queen.".The sign in his Guilty Gear X stage is spelt " Napalm".Axl Low: His name comes first, along with his real name (Will).Ky's theme song in Strive contains a few notes of Bon Jovi's Livin' On A Prayer.
