Gotta recharge your precious psyche in order to face the pressures of this sometimes scary world?
Mentally exhausted and in need of an emotional nap?
Well, have I got the late-night talk show for you!
I know. I know! Late-night talk shows are probably where you get parts of your important, yet apocalyptic news through their if-I-don’t-laugh-I’ll-cry monologues, right? Well, fret not, my fellow champions for global sanity! The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson originally aired from January 3, 2005, to December 19, 2014. No recent politics allowed!
This is it! The final episode of the fourth season, and—until the fifth and final season is created and released in a couple years—the final episode of the series.
Will The Brotherhood of the Tofu save the day or will the next season be a animated version of The Walking Dead? Let’s find out!
I’m going to divide my analysis into three parts: The Sadida Battle, The Necroworld Battle, and The Post-War Wrap-Up.
Sadida Battle
Shout-out to Amalia for inspiring the troops after Armand’s death. She and Armand had their many MANY disagreements, but they still loved each other. They’re family and always will be.
This battle feels more dire than Team Yugo’s because they’re more characters at risk of dying. Take Percedal, for example. The Necros did the smart thing and targeted him, seeing as he’s the most powerful physical fighter there. Thankfully, Amalia’s grief power-up saved him.

Holy crap! Ruel did something useful! He and Kamasutar went full Steven Universe and fused into a giant beast man. A cool moment, indeed. Now, leave the show and never come back.
Noximilien. Qilby. Oropo. Toross Mordal. The Big Bads of Wakfu. One of these baddies suck. Care to guess which one?
…Qilby?
WRONG! I’m so disappointed in you, dear reader. No Yugo energy dinner for you!
Last episode ended with Yugo’s capture by Mordal. We open this episode, not surprisingly, with our favorite hero confined to a Wakfu sucking tower for the nutritional enjoyment of the residents of evil in Necroworld. Talk about a biohazard.
If Yugo’s Wakfu energy’s completely drained he dies or becomes a Wakfu Zombie. But, not to worry because…
(1.) Mordal knows how to ration Wakfu and…
(2.) Yugo’s got help in the form of…Oropo.
You’ve seen it before, my fellow anime/anime-adjacent cartoon fans. The Big Bad is super powerful—almost unstoppable—so the hero(es) must find a way to level up their skills, train to become stronger, or simply bullsh*t their way to ultimate victory.
Little Yugo’s getting a bit of all three.
Welcome to adulthood, Yugo. Enjoy your complimentary stack of bills and bowl of responsibilities.
~Mind Training~
Yep. Yugo’s mind training to up his EXP Points thanks to Oropo and Bouillon, two of Yugo’s unplanned kids (I guess Bouillon’s a Eliatrope despite not having Wakfu horns. Maybe glowing eyes is enough?) living in Yugo’s subconscious? Consciousness? Whatever. It’s all bullsh*t to make Yugo powerful enough to stop Mordal once he escapes. And you KNOW he’s gonna escape at some point.
Iron Chef was a Japanese cooking competition television show where two cooking experts each have one-hour to make as many delicious meals as possible centered around a “theme ingredient”. The food is then presented to a panel of judges who give comments and then points for each meal. After that, a winner is decided. Simple, right?
But—like the food—the show truly shines through its unique flavor and presentation. Iron Chef is an experience. The host is theatrical. The commentators, sassy. The cooking stadium, grand. The challenger and Iron Chefs’ entrances, bombastic. And, the food, amazing.
…Well, it looks amazing. Enough, I get hungry watching every episode. Warning: Never watch Iron Chef on an empty stomach!
