#Oreca Battle Chapter 4

[n41r]

I saw the tags on the last ask but EXCUSE ME, NINE of those Dark Matter things?!?!?! Isn't that way too much than needed, hello!? Culann really got it bad after being forced just one (I'm really sorry if I ended up referring him in a bad way- T^T), but why nine times the amount?! Ouch... My bad on it getting to me by a lot, but I like both Tanta and Ares because the former's my first monster to get while playing and the other being the one that kept me curious about the game itself.. Aaaaaa, I hadn't been keeping up lore wise other than from watching gameplays alone but the big bad of chapter 4 just gives me bad vibes all over him, I think Laphroaig or something was his name? I swear if the personal theory of mine on Laphoraig is wanting a blank replacement that's like him or worse if he himself is gone was the right guess, it's gonna be vengeance time- Hdhahahbdsj, please let Oreca Battle be updated soon so I can beat Laphoraig with Purgatory Emperor Ares in the team!

Aishhh... Um, l-let's try to put that away for a bit, at least something just for me to do. Speaking of Culann, do you have any headcanons you can share? Kinda curious on which hero he's obsessing over in his 4☆ form, with his 3☆ form is literaly the positive polar of a defensive tanker instead of going on offensive. What happens in that one frame though, where he's being held back with Balt at the corner?

Yup, nine pieces of those Dark Matters on his headpiece- And interestingly enough, it's only apparent on the second version of Purgatory Emperor Ares Which described in the JP Fanwiki, is when any traces of who he was as a passionate warrior have gone and replaced by the purgatory emperor persona

Also, your theory might have not been far off Because from the description on Phantom Laphroaig's JP fanwiki page, his intention to invade the kingdom persist even without physical form

And now, to answer some of your questions about Culann

I'll put it under the cut, because this answer might go so long because of the images-

When Culann was first corrupted by Dark Matter in Demizu Posuka's manga, his obsession was to get stronger And in that state of mind, turning into a hero is the method he knows of to get stronger

But since "Sign of a Brave Hero" rejected him, he went on a blind rampage-

And this is a piece of my own headcanon, but if the Dark Matter that's inside Culann were not destroyed in this fight, the hero he is going be obsessed to, without a doubt, is going to be Tanta-

But since his obsession started with wanting to be stronger and/or anything related to a hero, he might also go berserk if he were to encounter other warrior with Hero in their title, such as Kurt or the elemental warriors on their 4★ evolution This one is only my headcanon, tho-

Other than that, my other headcanon for Culann is that,

4★ Culann is much more expressive with his emotions, while 3★ Culann is much more reserved (This was influenced by my mutual's tweet who points out the difference in fighting style between 3★ Culann and 4★ Culann)

4★ Culann might randomly freeze in place and needed time to regain himself again (This is just me referencing his losing line, which is "What in the world am I?!")

This one is just my own personal HC, but I love to think that Culann have a strong fondness to sweets- And I like to think that this little quirk of his is one of what still remained while he is corrupted by Dark Matter-

Otsu Post for my Oreca Battle Session from May 2024-

I made a blog entry for this month's session, because miracle occurs and so many things happened at once, it was one of the most insane session I've ever had since the last time I battled Red Dragon-

I did spent more credits than I usually do for funsies, but my god, what followed after-

((Also please do ignore the shitty doodle I used as this entry's thumbnail, I wanted it to look as shitpost-y as possible-))

For the past few months, I have been going into the arcade to play Oreca, with missions on hand Those missions are,

Get 4★ CuChulainn's item, "Holy Will"

Get 3★ Darkness Magica's item, "Raven Magic Stone"

Hang out at Chapter 6 for a chance to meet Pyramid Head

I don't have much expectation with my luck, so I usually give 3 chances to explore each chapters incase I didn't meet any of the monsters I was aiming for

And guess who I met on my first encounter of the day?

FRIGGIN CUCHULAINN- AND HE GAVE ME "HOLY WILL"-

AFTER SO MANY TRIES AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MEET HIM, HE SHOWS UP ON MY FIRST PLAY-

Finally having one mission crossed off, I thought maybe I could relax a bit, try my luck on the other mission, y'know?

And my second play started WAY TOO INTENSE for my poor mind-

DARKNESS MAGICA SHOWS UP-

AND WITHIN THE INCH OF HIS LIFE, BEELZEBUB CASTED "DEATH" AND EARNED US A VICTORY

AND MY WHITE WHALE, "RAVEN MAGIC STONE" AAAAAAAA---

AFTER TRYING SO MANY TIMES TO MEET HIM AND NIHIL, THEN FIGHTING HIM 2 TIMES AND GOT NO ITEM TWICE AS WELL- AEFKHKDFJHJGVDRTG--

At this point, I grew anxious- I contacted Enzina and talked to her to calm myself down, because this was a barrage of stimulation-

Then I told her, "Yeah, let's take things slow. I might try to get Kurt or Dran for now"

Guess what, tho?

PANDORA SAYS NO, WE GO TO THE GHOST SHIP-

We might have lost the battle, but guess who got commands up and joined the team with rare item???

DEMON KING AZUL JOINED, BRINGING "EVIL SHELL SAUSE"!!!

THE RARE ITEM THAT CAN CHANGE 4★ DANTE AND 4★ POWAN BGM INTO THE ACCOUSTIC VERSION IN BATTLE!!!

UPDATE (28th May 2024)

It have come to my attention that "Evil Shell Sause" is only able to change Azul's card illustration, so yea-

I was drunk on excitement and dehydration I think, lmao-

So yea, with all of this big encounters all happened one after another, I finally took a break because the excitement and rush actually makes my head hurts-

It doesn't help with the fact that Indonesia (and the rest of the SEA countries-) are getting hit by intense heatwave, and how crowded the arcade was that day-

And after the much needed rest, I went back to the arcade and finally took my own advice seriously, "Take things slow"-

And take things slow we did, since searching for Dran and Kurt was a simple task, and Dark Magica with CuChulainn only need to be combined with their item!

With 1 last play in mind, I try my luck once again on Chapter 6, with a team consisting of 2★ Dia, 4★ CuChulainn, and 4★ Culann Cuz y'know, I need to level up Dia too-

And... guess who greeted us, like RIGHT AWAY at the first enemy selection screen?

Yes, that's right, THE MONSTER, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND, THE RARE ENCOUNTER OF CHAPTER 6-

FUCKING PYRAMID HEAD--

THIS WAS MY FUCKING LAST PLAY, I WAS NOT EXPECTING BIG THINGS-

BUT PYRAMID HEAD???? THE ONE MONSTERS I WAS AIMING EVER SINCE I STARTED TO GO LEVELLING AT CHAPTER 6 SINCE FEBRUARY????

FUCK, IT'S FATE- /slapped

We might have lost and I didn't get his item drop, but hey, we got Pyramid Head at the end, so who is laughing now? /slapped

So yea, otsukare all around~!!!

[n41r]

Wait wait wait, there's lore on each chapter?! I just know each character to be connected just by one chapter each so aaaaaaaaaaaa- I didn't know and I read on the bits of oreca battle manga you've posted about and I crave more of those mangas! Please share more about the lores you want to give, anything really!

P.S. Hope you can get 4☆ Magica someday, even though Dark Magica's laughing at your suffering rn

Yes there are actually lore and even side stories surrounding each chapters! And if you try to connect the dots, some chapters lore are actually intertwining with each other as well (ex. Prologue with Ch. 4, Ch. 1 with Ch. 5, etc.)

It also took me a long time to figure out how the lore goes- Thanks for some of the official manga previews, fanarts, and fan-theories from the JP fandom on both Pixiv, the fanwiki, and twitter, I could connect some dots that makes the most sense to me

The hardest lore for me to figure out are New Chapter 5 and New Chapter 7, since there are very little fan stuff about these chapters-

There might be some clues on what is going on with New Chapter 5 in Demizu Posuka-sensei's manga for Ginger Ale, since some of the key characters from this manga also made a pretty significant appearance in the game For example, Ramune who is according to the fanwiki, is the one who call out/resurrect Azul's and Merrow's souls in New Chapter 5

And... I might make separate post of me rambling about New Chapter 6 after this, because it is one of my most favorite untranslated chapter

And if I were to write it here, it might get too long, since this answer is already this long by itself-

[n41r]

So, take a looksie here, ye?

This character, ye? As shown on the screen, his name is Krsnik

He is one of the character I want to get in Oreca Battle, purely because he look so damn adorable-

I mean look at this, ye? He is so darn cute-

Look at those animal ears on his head, it looks so gosh darn adorable Idbndjxjnsbxhd--

I've been thinking about this guy ever since I saw the latest New Chapter 3 update on the arcade-

Krsnik is a 3★ warrior type monster with water attribute, his EX move can transform him into a beast-type monster of 4★ or less

To get him, you will need to combine 3★ Alucard (holding this item called "White Membrane"?) with 3★ Magic Knight Magica

Or, 3★ Simon with 3★ Magic Knight Magica holding "White Membrane"

(looks like level doesn't matter, as long as the right monster hold the right item before combining)

And "White Membrane" (probably named differently on EN version) is an item that's dropped after a battle against Krsnik himself

Since the item is not written as rare, it probably could also dropped if you lose against him, but winning is always seem much more favorable in cases like this

And according to the JP fanwiki, if you activated his EX move and didn't scan any card of your own, he will automatically transform into a wolf that looks like the one on his card illustration

SO ACCORDING TO THAT, HE IS BASICALLY A WOLF BOY EH? /slapped

Also, a funfact written on fanwiki, is that in the spin-off game "Solomon Program", Krsnik is said to be a daifuku lover

AND I'M LIKE-

SJBFHFJRJEB, COUKD THIS MAN BE ANYMORE ADORABLE, WHTA THE HECK IS THIS-

I can't wait to fight him and hear his voice, jwbdjfjdjsj-

[n41r]

Oh shoot, are you doing okay there? Hope you don't experience any stomachaches and doing well now, even though on bad prophecy yesterday-

I brought in good news if it can make your day a bit better, in fact an Oreca Battle machine was discovered! It's on Amazone AEON BSD at the third floor, specifically at Tangerang. There's only one machine there and last I visited this Tuesday, it's at New Chapter 1 where Robot Type Zero appears! The light seems to be doing well but it's on the left corner instead on the right, so it's better to bring a flashlight for the machine to scan the cards properly. Printer wise though, well... It needs to be checked daily to see if it works properly, from what I got on asking the arcade staff and I used the trick on seeing how many cards the machine can print out from your post (thank you for showing the trick-), and it turns out it can print about 500 cards. The pricing on weekdays for regulars are 15.900 and for VIP are 14.250

Funny enough, I got a card printed out in all yellow two weeks ago before this Tuesday- It's just one battle where there's one 2☆ Ares on both my team and the enemy team and both of them used Fervor!, so... probably the two of them are way too heated up in battle to the point of affecting the printer's ink not working XD

Also, also! The staff said that the updates at the arcade are slow so no New Chapter 2 for the time being, but the staff also told me that there could be some places where the updates are at New Chapter 1 or 2 up till New Chapter 4. Again, not sure if it's confirmed or not so just hearing it reached New Chapter 4 just makes me a bit glad on the updates is still happening even though really slow at times-

I am currently doing fine, even tho my stomach still grumbling a little bit-

BUT OH MY GOSH, WHAT A GREAT AND JOYOUS NEW YOU HAVE GIVEN ME!!!

AEON Mall BSD is actually one of the places I set my eyes on visiting if I ever come back to West Java, and I'm very surprised and happy to not only hear you've visited them, but also found an Oreca Battle machine there! Sounds like the machine is on pretty good condition, and 500 cards are pretty plenty!

Also, very interesting to hear that they are still at New Chapter 1 If fortune could befell us, maybe they are planning on releasing it slowly with Enki's limited time event on New Chapter 2??? The chances are slim, but we could hope, right???

Also, RIP to the respective Ares teammates on that battle, that must have been one fiery battle-

[n41r]

Hey hey, it's Monday! You know what that means...

Corocoro uploaded a new chapter for Posuka's Oreca Battle manga!!!

Today's chapter is Ares's chapter! And I'm here to make a fangirling posts about it-

The heated warrior, Ares is here!!! He shows up and already made a ruckus at the training ground, hshshshshhs;;;

And gosh, Culann showed up already roasted to well done, arfgksrhkrg-

LOOK AT THIS SMUG CHILD, AKEFHKSRJGNKTH;;;

SMUG TANTA IS SO CUTE, MY GOOOODDDD;;;;

PLEASE, THESE PANELS ARE SO FUNNY, I CAN'T-

PETIT MUS MISSING HIS ATTACK, AND THE PANEL WHERE HE GET ROASTED WELL DONE-

BLESS YOU, POSUKA-SENSEI;;;;;

THIS PANEL THO, THIS PANEL-

THIS PANEL FUCKED ME UP WHEN I SEE THIS-

THIS IS BASICALLY FORESHADOWING THE STORY THAT WILL TAKE PLACE IN NEW CHAPTER 4-

I don't know if the story development for New Ch. 4 is already ongoing when Posuka-sensei was working on this manga, but the fact that in this chapter Ares was suspected on being a lackey of a Demon King/Emperor, and remembering what happened at New Ch. 4, I JUST- AJLDFHSJKGJFSRNHGTRU---

Also, THIS-

B E E G -

/slapped

Also, Culann get roasted again-

Please save this child, otherwise he's going to be roasted beyond the point of well done- He's going to be Great Job-

A Story on How I Started Playing Oreca (at 3rd of March 2023)

I wanted to share how I first started to play Oreca Battle at Yogyakarta, and how I got 4 starter cards instead of just 1 or 3 in a day-

It was one of the most memorable day of my life, and for no reason, I never actually shared the full story other than to the friends on a Discord server

Thankfully, the moderator never really deleted the channel, so the original photos from that day still exist

So it all started by the coincidences where I started wanting to know more about Oreca Battle because of Mudae, and the sudden appearance of Oreca Battle machines on the arcade near me when I visited the mall on probably February 2023

I needed to prepare myself before actually playing the game, so I searched on how to play the game and read some stray infos from a quick google search

The machines on those years are probably still on New Chapter 1 and New Prologue if I wasn't wrong, so yea, I started at New Prologue-

Everything was going well after the first battle, I had a very fun time battling and deciding on who I want to print When suddenly...

The machine just malfunctioned- I was probably in distraught when this happened-

I asked the staff for help, but since the machine is still very new for this arcade, the staff have not much idea on how to help me, and instead offered me a free play on the other machine beside it

I remembered trying out New Chapter 1 instead on this machine, and was anticipating to print Flow after the battle

But another misfortune befell-

^ This was the original message I wrote on the server to express how I felt at that moment-

But thankfully, the third machine worked without having any other problem! And back to the issue of the machine being new to this arcade, because the staff gave me not just 1 (one) free play for this machine, but 3 (three) free plays instead-

And that is how I got 3 starters instead of one, because I took the opportunity to print both Tanta, Burn, and Magician all at once-

And after having a feel on how interesting the game is, I tried to play it again But that's also how I found out that the machine doesn't have working light bulb on the scanner, because I can't scan any of the cards I just got-

So instead, I try my hands on combining, and get Arthur's card (He was on the list of monsters that caught my interest when I was first fishing for any info before playing this game)

And that is probably how everything went!

I don't really remember what I do after that, probably hunting info on how getting Culann, continue watching the anime, hunting for more info about this niche game, everything else, and had an idea to record myself playing so I never forget about this game incase anything happened(?)

The rest is history, and here I am now 1 year later, and still playing Oreca Battle for atleast once a month-

What a year it have been, huh- And now we have the latest update for New Chapter 3 for the machines at Yogya, and lotsa of battles we have done to get here

And here's to more battles ahead,

Ris Personal (but okay for public viewing) Blog, 8th of July 2023

This is a messy blog entry about the day I joined Pandora Party, a virtual comiket-like event for Oreca Battle community

This is a random blog-like entry, so long writing is to be expected Please don’t read it, because it is long, and cluttered as heck-

So, Pandora Party-

I wasn’t actually planning to join, because I was afraid- But suddenly, when I was in the middle of drawing a meme (again-), a sudden burst energy came out of nowhere and give me to push to make PictSquare account 

Driven by this unknown energy, I opened the link to the website and register myself And, funnily enough, the website needed phone verification- I was taken aback, I haven’t buy the fund to make any kind of call on my number, most of the fund always goes to internet package- But welp, I wanted to do this, so might as well do it until the end-

After a nerve-wracking, but actually really easy and fast process, now I have can join the virtual space for Pandora Party!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I was looking around the booth, someone with a very cute Tanta avatar approached me

I was very surprised when they said “Welcome”!

Like, oh my god- I wasn’t expecting to be greeted or anything, but suddenly someone talked to me????

They changed their avatar into Pandora, and start to shows some cool special effects you can do in this website! I didn’t know you could do special effect, so my reaction was to put some surprised kaomoji, because I was genuinely surprised-

They talked to me very kindly, and informed me about a photo session that will be held at 21:00 Japan’s time

If you ever happened to see this blog, please let me thank you again! I am seriously thankful, I felt very welcomed and had a lot of fun in the event!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I took some commemorative photos for myself, I try not to include any of the booth because that would be rude

Here are some of them that I like:

I believe this part is inspired by The Prologue and Chapter 4 The castle theming and how some foods are laid out makes me feel like having a banquet in the castle~

This area is probably inspired by Chapter 1 Making it beach-themed instead of underwater feels really playful, it was fun!

I think this area is inspired by Chapter 2 and Chapter 6 The use of graveyard to represent Chapter 6 felt really sad, but also make sense- I mean, the theme that surround chapter 6 are about undead and angels after all

And gosh, the fact that they made it so the desert that represent Chapter 2 is on top of the graveyard- The inevitable ending of Chapter 6, it still makes me super sad thinking about it-

And the last one are I took the photo is this area that are inspired by Chapter 3 and 7 The open bath felt like a really funny addition tbh, but fun nonetheless! And the forest was pretty, I like it!

There was also other area for R-18 booth, which are funnily enough was arranged so it looks like a bathroom- It was pretty funny, but I kind of afraid to take a photo at that area, so there was no photo of the comically large bath tub and the suspiciously placed double bed in my gallery-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I visited a lot of Oreca fanartists booth, and learned what is Net Print in the process!

I was actually a bit sad I can’t buy anything from the event (not a lot of delivery service support Indonesia), but learning about Net Print gave me some bit of hope

You see, I happen to find an account that help print and send Net Print to people outside Japan, and it look like they support delivery to Indonesia! So I can have some printed works of my favorite character from my favorite artists!!! God bless these 3rd party account, man-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the end of the event (around 21:00 Japan Time), the organizer makes an announcement that everyone is about to take commemorative photo

Me, being my idiot self with my basic ass avatar, meddle with the group- I don’t even know why did I let myself join their photo session when even Kuru isn’t present-

But yeah, I did get uh... included in the photo-

If someone from the event happen to see this blog entry, I just want to say, I’m so sorry for intruding-

But it was fun!!! Doing the “Shooting Star” special effect while the organizer take a photo was really fun! And seeing everyone’s cute and amazing custom avatars are such a delight! Maybe I’ll make my own Dark Warrior Tanta avatar if I can attend the next event someday~

I didn’t take any photo for myself because I was too nervous, which kind of sad But I can save some photos from others for myself and my other personal blog that I don’t share around, so I think this is okay!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And that’s what I wanted to share about Pandora Party online event!

It was a lot of fun!

Thank you very much to the organizer for making this party a reality!!!
