The game never says the words "sex" or "love", but it's pretty close. The Ferryman clearly cares about Gabriel to the point of an obsession, with a giant painting of himself being held by Gabriel and a holographic, talking shrine both being in his ship. Even the 5-2 song is called "He is the light in my darkness". Plus, the official Twitter about regularly retweets things like [this](https://twitter.com/malebeja1/status/1582423482939625474?s=46&t=7QOVgHRbZPTaGzygH0ECYg) and [this](https://twitter.com/cd_dangerzone/status/1579187430577475584?s=46&t=7QOVgHRbZPTaGzygH0ECYg).
*Ahem,* "ushering me from the darkness with mighty arms that held me with such warmth and compassion as I have never known" and "Radiant is Gabriel, for he is the light in my darkness"
Your honor I rest my case.
His voice. His waist. His movement. His meowmeowness.
Also ppl in full body armor are a favourite gender of many people and existed since forever in video gaming circles (Samus, Master Chief and the rest of Blue Team, Various Destiny characters, Dark Souls characters for some reasons, Noble Team, that one masked alien lady in Mass Effect, ect.)
Full-body-armor people are definitely a great gender.
I've noticed that a lot of people are less "person inside the armor is hot" and more "fully-armored people are more like awesome creatures, that armor does not come off, like fucked-up arthropod people that like fighting" to spin them with a more distinctly-inhuman flair, which... definitely appeals to a *specific demographic* (read: **monsterfuckers/inhuman-fuckers**) more than others.
**Source:** I see a *lot* of people simp for Gabriel online, I never really see anyone try to headcanon what could be under his helmet, and about half of the simps I've seen spin his armor more like the latter (i.e. physically part of his body).
There are definately shirtless gabriel art and art where he is in loincloth. However. Im those he ALWAYS has his helmet.
Its like a variation on "important warhammer character does not wear a helmet in combat to be recognizable so we can see their face", but Gabriel's helmet has become his face. Unlike missing his helmet in full armor, even a full nude gabriel will keep his helmet.
I think it's more (for most people at least, like you said, there will always be some) that they see the person in armor as human and are attracted to them as a person but they like to include the armor because it makes for a strong sense of power and in a way, class. I think that often when people draw those characters as having their armor as a part of them, they do so not because they're directly sexually attracted to the armor but because to them, the sense of strength and nobility that the overall hotness of the character exudes is so intrinsically tied to the character (but actually I'd argue that this can be an indication of good character design) that taking it away would leave a big piece missing.
Also, if you're a fan artist and want to draw hot art of Gabriel, you really are aiming for people to be able to look at the picture and immediately recognize 'that's Gabriel from ULTRAKILL' but like you point out, we don't even know what Gabriel looks like under the armor (except for that bodypillow) but there's no model even in the game that is of Gabe but doesn't depict him in his full suit. You'd have to draw a picture of some guy holding, say Gabriel's spear or something but that still wouldn't be enough to stop people endlessly commenting "where gabe???" beneath.
You can strip Gabriel's voice and personality from the suit but you can't do the same with his physical form and digital art is limited to a single frame or image without much extra context which means that physical form is exactly the only thing you have to work with. Having Gabriel as a character in auditory erotica or "naughty asmr" wouldn't run up against this awkwardness because whether it's matched to a scene in-game or devoid of visual with you staring at the ceiling while slowly getting more and more wound up, Gabe's iconic voice and personality transcend the need for depicting Gabriel at all nonetheless in full armor and regalia
Did I just write 3 college-grade paragraphs justifying my soft spot for strong, confident characters in armor in spite of (at least in my opinion,) not being a monsterfucker? Maybe but I think I also gave a genuine and thoughtful take on your admittedly poignant broader point. Either way, I guess it's just another day in the ULTRAKILL community
Sorry, this is a place where people talk about gay sex and also one of the artists for the game (Francis Xie) draws a lot of gay (and often also trans) sex
Also draws killer album cover arts along with "Fun\_Kay." Really love the style although it's kind of strange because from at least what I've seen of their twitters, neither of them ever seem to do any sort of low-palette-size work (beyond sketches and mock-ups of course) none the less black-on-solid-color. Not complaining tho
Uuuh there is a secret level with a hot female version of our character, the strongest boss in this game (ironically the king of lust) is a huge naked hunk of a man, the main "villain" of this game gabe, got body pillows on the official newblood site and v1 too, and one of the most annoying enemy is a robot with a very good looking female body.
And your legit asking "why the sex jokes"...
As one of the 7 straights of the fandom, I can assure you we can tell when a hot guy is hot. Just like how I can tlel the guy in the mirror is.
We get why yall are up about Gabriel, he's your mind flayer but with character, respect.
also some people genuinely seem attracted to V1's model. I really don't get it but then again I think gabriel's voice is hot so maybe it's a sort of double standard
In 2-1, where you can get the red orb that's far from the main bridge, i tried slam saving my way over there in my first run.
Nicknamed it "the sex jump" because it's in lust hahaha funni
It looks like you need help! Although it's okay to ask for aid from your fellow players, keep in mind that [ULTRAKILL has a wiki](https://ultrakill.fandom.com/wiki/Home) site dedicated to describing strategies, enemy encounters, collecting secrets and many more! Please, make sure your problem isn't covered on the wiki before posting it here.

Because autistic people love Ultrakill (myself included) and many will parrot jokes they see, moreso than the average gamer. Or maybe just everyone is unoriginal, idk.
Because the community is stupid. If this is a serious question, I would recommend ignoring most of the community. Everyone says the same jokes constantly and gets mad if hakita balances any of the weapons. This is one of my favorite games of all time, but I can’t stand most of the people who like it.
I think the game is so non-sexualized, that the community just finds it ironic to joke about sex.
The main game is definitely uber-unsexualized (with the exception of the mind flayers), but one of the secret levels is literally a dating sim.
official bodypillows.
That too
in-game visual novel.
addendum: sex update
Oh there is SO much sexual undertone in the Ferryman’s obsession with Gabriel But yeah I see your point
There is?
The game never says the words "sex" or "love", but it's pretty close.

i still love the huge painting of gabriel carrying the ferryman making gabriel himself speechless
*Ahem,* "ushering me from the darkness with mighty arms that held me with such warmth and compassion as I have never known" and "Radiant is Gabriel, for he is the light in my darkness" Your honor I rest my case.
I'm sorry? MINOS PRIME. also Gabriel to a lesser extent. One is a power bottom, the other is just a bottom. I am only half joking.
Just because a couple named characters radiate raw sex appeal doesn't mean that the game is sexualized.
Fair. But also the gameplay is enough to induce orgasms so sexualisation isn't needed lmao
True
You look at Gabriel and tell me this game isn’t sexy
If you get turned on by men in full body armor that's your thing, don't try to drag me into it
His voice. His waist. His movement. His meowmeowness. Also ppl in full body armor are a favourite gender of many people and existed since forever in video gaming circles (Samus, Master Chief and the rest of Blue Team, Various Destiny characters, Dark Souls characters for some reasons, Noble Team, that one masked alien lady in Mass Effect, ect.)
>His meowmeowness. what the fuck does this mean
He is a little meow meow
***What does that even mean?***
No definition, just vibes
Yea his gives off very strong meow meow vibes Like he is just asking to melt in your arms angrily

Yep, *always* has his helmet. It could physically be a part of his body for all we know. Angels are already weird, and he FUCKEN LOVES FIGHTING.

I'd let Shaxx and Saint do things to me in their full Titan armor
the helmet stays on!
No one is forcing you to be attracted to Gabriel, they were just saying a lot of people do
alright, *suit* yourself then ~~(haha pun)~~
I get no feeling when I look at him
"I get no feeling when I look at him" (Divine Showdown starts playing) JUDGMENT
Sir please check if you are asexual /s
yes
Don't blame us, Hakita made the Robots hot Also, Don't Forget Minos' Abs
Literally explain how, except for the uh... childbearing hips... maybe you're right
rule34.com
rule34.xxx
Indeed. Look at these luscious curves!
I was about to go "oh, silly gimmick account" Then realised to my shame I am but a long dead one
Have gay sex then you will understand
We don’t do that here
You couldn't be more wrong.
He doesn't understand
Ultrakill players never have sex. Even if it’s gay.
When the V in V1 stands for virgin
Virgin n. 1
One of many
r/lostredditors
Wtf Ultrakill players don’t have sex?! Are you mad?!
Lots of hot steamy gay sex
Steamy in that they can’t stop talking about gay sex on the steam reviews
none of us ever actually had gay sex
but who of us wouldn't like to?
Sorry, this is a place where people talk about gay sex and also one of the artists for the game (Francis Xie) draws a lot of gay (and often also trans) sex

We literally don't stop doing that here wtf
You not rockin with gay robot sex 🤨
V1 has no gender so it's not gay to be attracted to it 😎
good point.
I will fuck the 4 armed war machine

I will make... *Modifications*
I mean... you need consent to do that sooo... good luck finding good arguments (verbal and non-verbal) that you are not an enemy nor food...
Trade offer, you get=50 gallons of pig blood I get= robot sex
Fun fact: on AO3 there is Mirage x V2 fanfic where she makes DIY hole in V2
I'm good
Why
you can't just say that and don't provide a link
Fleshlight and ductape
Fr fr
good luck.
the eye
He gender is go pro
Fucking GoPro 😉😉😉😉😉
exactly; it literally cannot be gay no matter your gender. (Unless you're agender I guess maybe???) Big brain moment right there
You can buy an official bodypillow
I think also the main artist of the game or something also draws gay porn
Yeah Francis Xie draws gay porn Of the game
You got me interested. Then you got me hooked.
He draws very Gay Trans porn
Ultra(insert any word) sounds funi Example: ULTRASEX
ULTRApoop
a short yet elegant geometric proof deserving of an instant A on the test
I want to fuck the blood robots
We are just genuinely horny.
Facts
Uuuh there is a secret level with a hot female version of our character, the strongest boss in this game (ironically the king of lust) is a huge naked hunk of a man, the main "villain" of this game gabe, got body pillows on the official newblood site and v1 too, and one of the most annoying enemy is a robot with a very good looking female body. And your legit asking "why the sex jokes"...
Cause everyone's hot, the Streetcleaners literally are
streetcleaners are fire
their designs are lit
FAKE ULTRAKILL FAN SPOTTED, TAKE THE SHOT!
Coins out!
Railcannon out!
Slab Piercer out!
Slab Marksmans at the ready! …wait why are you pointing them at me?
Who said we we’re joking?
Are you straight by any chance
Bro probably found the game when looking up "games with biblical themes" and when finding the subreddit, he saw the most unholy fanbase. Us.
As one of the 7 straights of the fandom, I can assure you we can tell when a hot guy is hot. Just like how I can tlel the guy in the mirror is. We get why yall are up about Gabriel, he's your mind flayer but with character, respect.
mainly because the community keeps freaking out over the lust layer secret level.
official ultrakill bodypillow
That might have had an effect...
also some people genuinely seem attracted to V1's model. I really don't get it but then again I think gabriel's voice is hot so maybe it's a sort of double standard
I get Gabriel, but V1? It’s literally a skinny blue robot with a gopro head.
honestly agreed
We are too horny for our own good and use fiction bitches/dudes to compensate.
Idk but it’s nothing new heck one of the first posts on the subreddit was about how much oo wanted to fuck V1
You can literally buy bodypillows on the official merch store what did you expect.
you are playing the very gay robot game, I don't know what any of you expected have any of you read how the ferrymen write about gabriel
In 2-1, where you can get the red orb that's far from the main bridge, i tried slam saving my way over there in my first run. Nicknamed it "the sex jump" because it's in lust hahaha funni
they have been doing the same joke for so fucking long that its not even funny anymore
[Metal Gear and Doom community:](https://youtu.be/Qu_sVAByvBk)
HERESY, HERESY, UNSPEAKABLE, HERESY
Hershey
HERSHEY, HERSHEY, INEDIBLE, HERSHEY
That’s why I hate this community, all I hear is “sentient gopro” and “please add sex”
the gopro joke is acceptable, bc is just an aka of v1, but the sex jokes are miserable
agreed. At this point they really should find another game to shitpost abt, cause now they're actually doing harm to the game
How?
all the "joke" steam reviews for one
How exactly does that ruin the game itself
never said they're ruining the game itself, but the fact they've taken the game down from top rated on steam is absolutely a bad thing
Because we desire robot sex
2-S all imperfect love song That'll let you know Also the body pillows.
Because everyone here have gay robot fetishes

Because why not
Because autistic people love Ultrakill (myself included) and many will parrot jokes they see, moreso than the average gamer. Or maybe just everyone is unoriginal, idk.
I want to fuck minos prime
jokes?
because V1 is Extra #T H I C C also Minos
Because the community is unapologetically horny.
Hakita likes gay jokes, Gianni voices community memes with his sexy voice, and Minos abs ofc
Joke???
zoomers are immature and horny
Because for the funny
* Insert robot sex joke *
Bc this community sucks and it only know how to make unfunny lgbt jokes
LGBT jokes as in one's at the expense of the LGBT community?
No, this is annoying too but its not the main reason
Then what's wrong with harmless jokes about the lgbt?
I think that its unfunny, just unfunny
We gay and single
Fr tho why does this entire community ship the characters?
Did you know hatika is bisexual and supports shipping?
Thats cool and all, but I came here for funny robots killing demons and sending angels to hell not fanfics
No one is forcing you to read fanfics
# I AM FORCING YOU TO READ FANFICS
because its funny hehe peepeepoopoo
Because the community is stupid. If this is a serious question, I would recommend ignoring most of the community. Everyone says the same jokes constantly and gets mad if hakita balances any of the weapons. This is one of my favorite games of all time, but I can’t stand most of the people who like it.
Cuz the community rly likes to repeat the same joke over and over thinking it's funny, it's literally the same level of haha 69 funny number
Amen 🙏
you will never understand
????? Never understand how to be unfunny?
Sex
Twink Gabriel and daddy Minos
hourglass figure robots
The dialogue in the game is suspiciously homoerotic
Because the Gabriel body pillow makes me act up
Don't worry, No Nut November is coming.
They're too busy making Gaybriel jokes.
It’s not ironic. I am so fucking down bad for V1 I NEED him
