Developer Arc System Works has announced the latest addition to his popular 2D fighter Guilty Gear struts. The bat, sin kisseswill be added to the list as part of the game’s $25 season pass 2 DLC, and the internet seems pretty happy with the announcement. So pleased, in fact, that people are calling Sin their favorite twink.
Endeavor is the newest entry in the main file Guilty gear Franchise. Launched in July 2021, the Hunter has sold more than 1 million units so far (an obvious first for the series) and regularly appears at fighting game tournaments such as Evo and UFA. ArcSys has constantly introduced new content to the game, including Fan favorite Bridget, which has been canonically confirmed as trans. Score one for queer representation. The team isn’t done with the game yet season pass 2 adds even more characters and stages.
It’s worth unpacking something twinks is to understand how and why people came to this conclusion about Sin Kiske. Corresponding Urban Dictionarya twink is “a homosexual male with attractive, boyish characteristics” who is young (stereotypically between 18 and 18). 25 years old), often blond and slim. Dictionary.com outlines some similar characteristics for the word, defining twink as “a young, attractive gay man with a slender, boyish appearance”. A floor, basically. Someone who would probably go “uwu” while blushing badly. As you can see from his looks, Sin isn’t exactly slim, but he retains many of the other traits: blond, boyish, and lacking in body hair (as far as we can tell).

However, as Twitter user Armormodechang pointed out above, Sin is huge. He has broad shoulders, muscles that seem as big as his head, and a fitted, cropped tank top that not only shows off his waist (and belly button) but also his ample chest. Sin is quite a far cry from what one would normally call a “twink.” Instead, we have a “twunk” here. I’m sure you can use contextual hints to put together a definition of what that means, but accordingly Urban Dictionary, it’s someone who “has the face of a twink, with the build of a hunk”. A bottom disguised as a top. But regardless of how people classify Sin, love pours in. There’s loads of fan art out there of the character this is scold himturn him into a shoujo characterand general make him gayer than he probably could be (which I think is cool). There are also some hilarious memes that joke about what he’s like thinnest or weakest Twink in Guilty gear.
sin was in the Guilty gear franchises before. The son of serial deuteragonist Ky Kiske, Sin made his first playable appearance in 2007 Guilty Gear 2: Overture. While retaining many of his signature moves, Sin is gaining new abilities and appears to have brutal combo potential with his long flagpole when he arrives on November 24th.
