Wakfu: The Animated Series [Season 4 Episode 11 Review]

[Author’s Note: Watch Wakfu: The Animated Series for free on Ankama’s official YouTube channel!]

I was not expecting to see the funniest moment of the season during this episode!

Yugo putting Amalia’s horny butt on standby was glorious! Ha!

Look. I don’t hate Amalia as a character, but she’s got to calm the hell down when it comes to Yugo. Last season, she’s all ready to ride Oropo’s dick JUST because he looks like a grown-up Yugo. Never mind the guy kidnapped her pregnant BEST FRIEND and her son. Never mind he’s clearly the bad guy there to be stopped. Amalia immediately trusts the Big Bad of last season just because he’s hot. I’m surprised Amalia wasn’t slipping on the large vine she’s riding because she probably uses it every night while thinking about Oropo.

Fortunately, Yugo’s head’s in the game and totally focused on defeating the Necros. That’s what this episode was about: Yugo reuniting with the Brotherhood of the Tofu in order to save the world…again.

Lay off the onions

Of course, the Percedal Family mistaking Adult Yugo for Oropo was a treat to see. They’re all on board for the final battle. If not for anything but using it as a distraction from thinking about the traveling Flopin.

Wakfu: The Animated Series [Season 4 Episode 8 Review]

Yugo? No no. Yu-stay!

Our heroes meet Toross Mordal, King of Necroworld. Spoiler: It doesn’t end well.

But all of that happens in the back half of the episode. Lets backtrack a bit, shall we?

Eva reads Flopin’s note while she and the rest of the Percedal Family search for him. Eva’s devastated, of course. But after reading her son’s letter, she decides it’s better to let Flopin go off with her deadbeat super assassin dad and live his own life, no matter how painful that decision is.

For the record, Eva, I agree. Flopin wants to get stronger and see the world. Let him. It’s better than dragging his butt back home and have him be resentful of you and his awesome demi-god siblings. I don’t know if we’ll see the fruits of Flopin’s training before the season ends, but if there’s ever is a fifth season or sequel series I look forward to seeing what happens to the little guy.

*SIGH!*

…It’s back. Ruel’s subplot…

Look on the bright side. Flopin’s room’s free so Goultard doesn’t have to sleep in the bathtub anymore.

Fortunately, it’s short. Just long enough to punish the audience by reminding us it’s still a thing. Basically, Ruel’s wife, Arpagone, is traveling the World of Twelve, donating Ruel’s wealth to charitable organizations. Ruel’s pissed and wants to stop her. Don’t they have police in this world? Call them! Eh, whatever.

Thank goodness that fart of a subplot is blown away by the incredible main plot.

Wakfu: The Animated Series [Season 4 Episode 6 Review]

The Necros want a quick meal. But what happens when fast food fights back?

The World of Twelve isn’t taking the Necros invasion lightly. At least the main characters aren’t. Most of the planet doesn’t yet know how screwed they are. But no worries! Yugo and Amalia are on the job!

Most of the episode is focused on them and the Eliatropes trying to stop the invasion. Yugo and Amalia make a great team. The two were able to hold off hundreds of Necros for a few minutes without directly using wakfu. Not bad. Commence appreciative yet slightly sarcastic slow clapping.

You’re supposed to have one more sword in your mouth.

Fortunately, Nora, Qilby and some background Eliatropes decided to lend them a hand (one in Qilby’s case), forcing the Necros attacking Sadidia Kingdom to retreat. Well…actually, a mysterious Necros hiding in the shadows called off the attack. I wonder who this person could—Efrim.

There’s no point in dragging it out. We know Nora’s dragon twin brother fell while saving the Eliatrope Goddess. We learned in this episode a being drained by Necros become a Necros. 1+1=Zombie Efrim. Awkward family reunion incoming.

Wakfu: The Animated Series [Season 4 Episode 5 Review]

Invasion of the Wakfu Snachers!

What I love about this episode is watching both world-wide and interpersonal drama jamming together in dub-step harmony.

For example, the episode was almost bookmarked by the invading Cape Necros—first with their appearance in the World of Twelve and last with the group summoning a giant monster. But then, at the very end, we’re shown a quick shot of Yugo traveling to the Sadida Kingdom in order to help Amalia, defying his mother’s request to abandon this world. The main plot is slowly affecting our main characters in a natural and interesting way.

I talked about the beginning and end. Now, let’s get into the middle/meat/vegan alternate option part of the episode.

Armant and Amalia return to Sadidia after the World Leaders meeting. Armant, of course, is being a prick—concluding that the Eliatrope Goddess is a threat while also trying to gaslight Amalia into thinking she’s blinded by her feelings for Yugo because she doesn’t agree with him. What a royal pain in the tofu bird Az!

P. Necros be wanting to party, and you gotta tell them no.

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

The true enemy of world peace—Politics.

Before we go there, I’d like to mention how much I loved this episode’s opening sequence. Wakfu turned the Eliatrope Goddess’ backstory into an AMV (Anime Music Video)! The music. The animation. The emotion. It all came together in an very fun way. Although “fun” may not be the correct word given what we saw.

As far as I can tell, The Eliatrope Goddess (E.G. if you’re nasty) hung out with the other gods/goddesses of the World of Twelve, then went traveling in space and met the Great Dragon (I spent two minutes researching before running away scared from all the lore). The two had a one-night stand in space (Giving a whole new meaning to “in space, no one can hear you scream”.), Yugo and his siblings were later born, then the other gods/goddesses—not liking her Baby Daddy (I think)—banished her to Space Nevada where she was trapped by some old pink-eyed dude. Trust me, it all looks cooler in the episode.

The other gods/goddesses found out her babies’ daddy doesn’t recycle.
