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.

Ankama Lied! Wakfu Season Five Kickstater Announced! [2D News]

–>Wakfu Season Five Kickstarter<–

Just like my ex, Ankama lied to me at my most vulnerable moment (sitting in front of the PC watching cartoons). I thought Wakfu Season Four was the final season to the epic (Epic, right? Kids still say that?) story of the Brotherhood of the Tofu.

Well… season four was so successful, Ankama decide to give the show one last go, for real this time!

Do you know how hard it is navigating that Kickstarter page while avoiding season four spoilers? Not that hard actually, but I sure as heck didn’t watch that season five trailer I posted!

At the time of writhing this post, the basic goal has been reached. But, the more money pledged, the more stuff we’ll get. Plus you can buy Wakfu merch like pins, plushies, and…vinyl records of the music. Uh, okay.

Personally, I just want to watch season five, which all backers will get access to on Ankama Launcher when season five premieres on French television in late 2027.

Oh! And in case you didn’t know, Wakfu season one and season two are officially available on YouTube!

Guess I’ll have to review season five when it comes out. Let’s see… How many episodes are planned for next season? Another thirteen isn’t—TWENTY-SIX episodes?! Are you kidding me?! I was planning on starting my modeling career that year.

Oh, well.

Wakfu: The Animated Series [Season 4 Episode 10 Review]

Qilby! Not him! Anyone but him!

Guess I should back track before complaining about what happened to one of the best characters in the show, eh?

We start with Zombie Efrim taking Nora’s mind-controlled body out to meet their mother. Looks likes he’s all finished using Nora to whip up a portal between the World of Twelve and Necroworld, so taking a little personal time to hit mommy with a few emotional jabs is the perfect way to finish off his productive day. It also doubles as a convenient way to let our heroes know Efrim is a Necro and has been using Nora to create portals.

This family reunion also gives the heroes a heads-up that the main invasion is about to go down. Oops! Probably should’ve sent an e-mail instead, Efrim.

Poor Nora gets a one-way ticket to Necroworld. Hey? Guess who’s gonna be making portals to every planet with life for Team Toross after the World of Twelve gets Sunday brunch’d? Here’s a hint: It ain’t Chell.

What? You said you wanted to get “stoned”.

Nora learning her “dead” twin brother’s been using her to jump start an universal zombie apocalypse is harsh. Toross is loving it though. In his eyes everyone will be equal because anyone left will just be a hungry Necro looking for their next meal. In case you haven’t guessed…Toross is a bit crazy.

Wakfu: The Animated Series [Season 4 Episode 7 Review]

Toross Mordal wants to know your location. And, no, he’s not asking permission.

I think it’s safe to say the undisputed king of the Necroworld will be this season’s Big Bad. Toross Mordal’s his name; eating wakfu’s his game. And by what looks to be six Dofus attached to his body, he’s playing for keeps. Not that it wasn’t obvious considering he kept the Eliatrope Goddess prisoner for centuries. Safe to say, the World of Twelve is screwed when he decides to take an Uber there himself.

What I find interesting is the other World of Twelve gods not only banished the E.G. to Necroworld knowing it’s residents could keep her imprisoned, but—if Nora’s correct—they did it to also gain more followers. It’s not that farfetched a theory considering Necroworld is described by Nora as a “rotten reflection of the World of Twelve”. Necroworld is the way it is because of that planet’s Dofus. It’s what could have happened if Yugo really screwed up using the Eliatrope Dofus back in the OVA.

School field trips when having social anxiety.

Not that the other World of Twelve gods care. They simply want more worshippers/followers. And you thought YouTube content creators where evil!

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.
