And I don't mean just the fact that it's a convoluted mess of writing issues, contradictions, and pointless Eliotrope introductions that are actually irrelevant in the long run. No, I think I've covered all that extensively before.

I'm talking about the fact that they're suddenly using nicknames.

Now, for some unfathomable reason, most of the time, Oropo is called "Oro" by his team, while he called Echo "Ma Belle" in the middle of their fight with Chibi and Grougal. And I'm like, why? Where does that come from????

Because correct me if I'm wrong, since I haven't watched season 3 in French, but I'm pretty sure the use of nicknames is pretty much nonexistent then????

I mean, if Oropo didn't even call his fucking lover "Beautiful" after literally having sex, and she doesn't use any terms of endearment despite all her flirting and gentle reassurances, then what's the point in introducing it during the OVA??? Sure, it'd be a nice call-back to season 3, something that'd make us go, "Aw, they've been using those pet names for centuries...", if only they actually used them in season 3.

But they didn't.

I swear, it's like they tried to really hammer in the fact that Oropo is super close to his team/underlings simply because they have a cute name for him. Uh, let me just say that if that is the case, then you should have done it during the 13-episode season, with all the friends Oropo supposedly died for, instead of the 44-minute action-packed nonsensical special where he sends his other friends to their death.

Because the closeness angle fails the moment you remember we're talking about a manipulative, entitled clone with an Oedipus complex that cheated on his centuries-long partner and lied to the people who adored and admired him and followed him for ages.

I figured it’d be nice to share them here too since not everyone has access to Twitter or reads numerous online articles.

According to @uelman, the Oma Island visit predates the Wakfu era.

Oropo is present on the Dofus MMO in the years around 640. Although since “One More Gate” (the game about Oropo being stuck in the Eliacube) is set to happen in 710, he was trapped around the time of Ogrest’s chaos. The Siblings would have had to follow his instructions after it happened to cause it.

It also looks like there are some scenes in the work-in-progress footage that could have been actual scenes in the episode.

For example, there is a scene featuring a female eliotrope with an eagle armor, who seems to be encountering a Sadida that looks like Amalia. Additionally, there is a shot of Ripulse opening a portal, with an entity either going in or out of the portal he summoned. And in another, Chibi appeared to be wielding his hammer while enveloped in flames, indicating a possible combo attack with Grougal. These scenes could have been important (excluding Chibi’s lol) but unfortunately, they might have been removed due to budget constraints or creative decisions. It would have been interesting to see these eliotropes have more screen time since these events seemed to have been important to the lore.

I swear if we do manage to get a season 5 with 26 episodes like Tot said, I hope we get to see more flashbacks of Ripulse and the eagle girl. I had initially been expecting them to appear in Season 4, and I was happy for a second since that’s exactly what I wanted, until I realized that Bouillon and Oropo ended up being the ones who took a lot of space inside Yugo’s head. I was disappointed to have only seen them in the back without saying anything.

Let’s hope for that Season 5 ✨

It's been a while since season 4 of Wakfu came out and since I don't really have time to do fan art except one with the Great Goddess… Anyway! Since the last episodes yesterday, I had this in mind and it made me sick not to do it so here it is x')

It's not just this meme that I made, I made one with the OAV Oropo :
