His backstory is explored, revealing how his future self orchestrated events by sending Unika to deliver a bio-weapon intended to eradicate the Gears. The most staggering twist, however, is the revelation that Unika herself is a Gear, and Sin’s younger sister, just as Nerville unleashes the bio-weapon, setting the stage for a second Crusade.
A major turning point comes when Nerville’s future self appears, consumes his present counterpart, and unveils his ultimate goal to ignite a second Crusade between humans and Gears.

A brief synopsis of Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode 5

Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers episode 5, titled "King’s Decision," begins with Sin choosing a path of coexistence between humanity and Gears. Meanwhile, Unika parts ways with Bridget and returns to the man she calls "father," revealed to be Nerville.
His backstory explains his hatred for Gears and humans with power, his attempt to create a bio-weapon to eradicate Gears, and how his future self sent Unika back in time to help him perfect the virus, one that causes Gears to go berserk, igniting another Crusade. However, Unika begins to question his ideology.
Just then, Sin and Sol, joined by Baiken, Johnny, and Jack-O’, launch an attack. Nerville reveals he had already infected Sin and Dizzy through past encounters, and now accelerates its spread. Rather than erasing Gears directly, his plan was to control a Command-type Gear to issue a mass self-destruction.
The twist comes when even Unika is affected, exposing her also as a Gear. In a tense moment, as she and Sin grasp hands and resist the virus, a clash of commands halts the spread. Sol reveals that Unika is actually Sin’s younger sister and another Command-type Gear, explaining their shared vision from before.

Just as it seems they might stop the catastrophe, future Nerville appears, devours his present self, and unveils his true goal: to trigger a second Crusade where Gears and humans destroy each other, allowing him to rebuild the world under his rule.
With Sin and Unika losing control and the world plunged into chaos, episode 5 ends on a dramatic cliffhanger, with Sin, now transformed into the new Gear King, threatening the world as a menace on par with previous Gear King Justice herself.
