Wakfu: The Animated Series [Season 4 Episode 3 Review]

The Eliatropes have chosen…peace?

This seems to be what’s happening—for now. The Eliatrope Goddess is using the Cloud Eyes as giant cameras keeping watch over most of the planet, sending her kids to deal with any trouble. Sounds too good to be true? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

In the meantime, I’m loving Yugo’s interactions with his family. His tender moments with his Goddess mother; the antagonistic relationship between him and Qilby; and connecting with his sister, Nora, while out on a mission. It’s all a treat to see. A shame the only time I’m interested in Mr. Bland Yugo is when he’s fighting or interacting with more compelling characters.

Poor Qilby. I know. I know. The guy almost destroyed the world. But, being trapped in a white void for centuries would screw anyone up. I’m surprised he’s got any wits left about him at all. And, hey. Points for Qilby for trying to bury the hatchet between him and Yugo. Sweet, but futile as our dear Yugo is too sanctimonious to give his own brother a second chance. Geez, dude! He only tried to destroy the world. Stop making such a big deal about it!

Adamai’s suspicious of the Eliatropes and decides to leave. Good. Go find a cliff to jump off.

Armand is such a petty bastard. His little sister returns home from another adventure (saving the world in the process, again) and this prick has her thinking her father’s alive in the garden. Dude. Face facts: You were never your father’s favorite, and you’ll never be more popular than Amalia. But, guess what? You’re the king. Smoke some of that royal Sadida Kingdom kush and shut and eff up.

We learn the blind assassin is named Madagasken. I’m not sure, but I bet with a name like that he’s in the Wakfu MMORPG game. Anyway, he’s still being all calm and cool and dangerous. Now he’s got his bow. Uh-oh. Someone’s about to get an arrow in their bullseye.

We learn the Percedal Family’s house is already rebuilt—and someone’s living there: Poo. No, I don’t have to poo. That’s who’s living in their house. You know? The big panda guy from season three? Well, no one wants poo in their house, so you can bet the family wants him gone.

It turns out Poo is like us—a Percedal Family stan! So, instead of immediately kicking his squatting butt out, they’re letting him cook for them, literally. A rebuilt house and a chef. Team Dally wins again!

*SIGH!* Guess I should mention Ruel & Arpagone. Blah blah blah toxic relationship. Blah blah blah she stole his money. Blah blah he’s hunting her down. Oh my Goddess! I don’t care. They both suck. Lady, you should’ve just taken half like any respectable divorcee would then partied it up with your friends at whatever this world’s equivalent of Las Vegas is. WHY ARE THEY STILL MARRIED!?

Another good episode! Learning more about what the Eliatrope Goddess is doing was interesting along with seeing Yugo’s relationship with her and his family. Again, the Percedal Family stole the episode with their antics. I love them so much. There’s a new world order and several mysteries brewing (the assassin, the Eliatrope’s true intentions, and the missing World of Twelve Gods to name a few), making this episode fun in itself and well as in anticipation of what’s to come. I’m in it for the long haul and couldn’t be happier.

This week’s Wack Award (Wack as in Wakfu. Get it?) goes to Armand for not telling Amalia her father died. I know you live in a forest kingdom but pull that stick out of your butt, my guy.
