🎊 twst 4th year anni ABEMA stream 🎉

***TWST JP news + anniversary spoilers below the cut!***

The stream starts with Ace, Deuce, Jack, Ruggie, and Sebek's VAs replying to a bunch of quiz questions. I think Ace or Deuce responds with "810" when asked how many items there are on the Heartslabyul lounge's coffee table. Sebek's VA also has a hilarious answer when asked how many Draconians (wakasama fans) there are, he pulls out some super absurdly high number with tons of zeros in it.

There is then a Master Chef/Culinary Crucibles-type section where the VAs decorate their own cake for TWST's anniversary. It’s a team effort! Ace and Deuce put on the cream, Sebek added cookies on top, and Jack and Ruggie did the final decorations. It ended up looking pretty cute ^^ (Ace's VA is the one that added all the whipped cream peaks; it was mostly thanks to Ruggie's VA that the cake still looked aesthetically pleasing at the end.)

Actual game-related news time!!! The SR Grim card for the 4th anniversary is... drumroll please...!! 🥁Apprentice Chef Grim!!! ABGKSKVUkvuDSQEVUOFDFIHAFVA HE'S SO CUTE, HE EVEN HAS A LIL TUNA CAN CAKE 😭

For anniversary, there will be a series of free items given out if you log in during the event period (11th to 25th), which includes THREE 10-pull keys (released on the 11th, 15th, and 18th, respectively). You can receive up to 12 days' worth of freebies. There will be an anniversary banner as per usual; you can earn tokens by pulling on this and then trade them in for a SR magical key (50 tokens) and/or past event-limited SSRs (150 tokens), including past years' birthday cards (100 tokens). There will be a new "Event Recollection" feature which allows you to experience events that you may have missed getting the initial chance to play through yourself.

Mr. S's Mystery Shop will sell items from past events such as limited Groovy materials and spell upgrade materials. This is called the "Memory Shop".

You will be able to mark (multiple) parts of the story as your "favorite". This will be indicated with a pink heart icon.

Battles will have a new feature which allows you to save team compositions for them. Up to 25 compositions may be saved at a time. You can also pin your supports, so you no longer have to scroll to find a specific friend's character to borrow.

There will be 3 new item gachas added to the "Item Lotto" of the shop (for Crewel, Vargas, and Trein). Previously, there was only Sam's. You use a new type of medal (obtained by taking classes) to roll on the teachers' lottos, and can pull items related to what you'd typically earn in each of their classes.

Crewel's gacha may provide an herbal tea which can be used to boost Buddy Levels, including those for characters that are otherwise unable to take Alchemy classes. That means Crowley, Rollo, etc. are fair game. (Yes, you can force feed them tea to obtain FRIENDSHIP✨) The tea may also drop during Special Lessons or Alchemy class.

We finally get magical key conversion! On the summoning screen, you can turn 10 single pull keys into one 10-pull key (which guarantees at least 1 SR; single keys do not have this benefit).

The Guest Room will receive a second floor to decorate. This will be unlocked once you reach a Guest Room rank of 31.

The Guest Room rank cap will be increased from 30 to 40. Additionally, all properties of floor 1 appears to carry over to floor 2. This means the same comfort level and attributes will be present across both.

New BGMs will be added to Mr. S's Mystery Shop. There will also be new voice lines added to Alchemy, Flying, and the outfit selection screen. The official TWST soundtrack will be released on the 29th of May, though preorders are tentatively open now. It is 140+ tracks (149, to be exact!) across 4 discs and goes for 4620 yen (inclusive of tax; without tax the soundtrack is 4200 yen). Japanese retailers are offering different dorms' A5 sized holographic sticker sheets as bonuses for preordering.

That's it for now, mostly quality of life changes! There will most likely be a 4th year anniversary PV/animated short on the actual anniversary day (the 18th)!

Thank you for considering my message.

Here's what everybody needs to know about young doctor's rape case -

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/pgt-doctor-found-dead-at-rg-kar-medical-college/articleshow/112415633.cms

Here's the summary -

Her dad found her naked, lying

motionless on the floor with a broken

pelvic girdle, disfigured limbs and

shattered pieces of glasses in her eyes,

bleeding incessantly.

Her plight in those

final minutes is unimaginable. Her

parents were denied any contact with her

dead body for 3 hours after they reached

the crime scene. 150 gm of semen was

found in her body, one man can only

have 15 gm. A scapegoat is in custody.

Dean said she was psychotic. After the

transfer to CBI, renovation work started

in the hospital. At this point it's not just

a doctor issue anymore, it's just

inhumane. We keep unlocking lower

levels of inhumanity year after year.

#Stop crimes against women !!!!!

Please support the doctor's fraternity of India to help our fellow doctor get the desired justice because common people are silent on this case but being woman We expect support from all women atleast because the worst part is even our medical council isn't allowing us to protest peacefully considering our protests to be keeping medical care of common people at stake . So the social media is our last string of hope .

Thank you !!

here’s the link but pls keep spreading!!

Are we really independent?

I am sure you must have heard about the rape and murder case of a young female resident doctor in RG Kar Medical college. She was on her duty from last 36 hrs. At midnight she had her lunch with colleagues and went to rest in a seminar room at 2 am. Her body was found in seminar room at 6 am in the morning.

Her dad found her naked, lying motionless on the floor with a broken pelvic girdle, disfigured limbs and shattered pieces of glasses in her eyes, bleeding incessantly. Her plight in those final minutes is unimaginable. Her parents were denied any contact with her dead body for 3 hours after they reached the crime scene. First they declared it as suicide. But later on examination 150 mg of semen was found in her body when one man can only have 15 mg. It clearly means she was gangraped. A scapegoat is in custody. Dean said she was psychotic. After the transfer to CBI, renovation work started in the hospital. At this point it's not just a doctor issue anymore, it's just inhumane. We keep unlocking lower levels of inhumanity year after year. Fools were those, who even hoped there would be reforms after the Nirbhaya case. It's been 12 years. Nothing has changed. Saw some Instagram stories saying that it's a crime to be a doctor in this country.

It's not a crime to be a doctor in this country, IT'S A CRIME TO HOPE IN THIS COUNTRY.

ASTRO BOT launch trailer, ‘Behind the Scenes’ series episode one - Gematsu

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Team ASOBI have released the launch trailer, first of five “behind the scenes” episodes, and new information for 3D platformer ASTRO BOT.

Get the details below, via Team ASOBI studio head Nicolas Doucet on PlayStation Blog.

New Launch Trailer Gameplay

Let’s start up with new worlds and new gameplay, introducing Handy-D, a cheeky monkey on Astro’s back that lets Astro climb, swing, and slam using its giant hands. This is a returning mechanic we’re taking to a fuller level by mixing it with the core platforming. You will also find Muteki (which means invincible in Japanese), a fitting name for Astro’s iron armor that lets him roll around spiky areas, fit inside tight spaces or get blasted like a cannonball! Finally, you’ll also catch a glimpse of Astro turning into a tiny weeny mouse which makes the world, and every surrounding stomp feel huge through the DualSense wireless controller. One of our favorites right there!

Also visible in this new trailer is the way the bots you rescue will affect the adventure. There are 300 total bots to rescue in ASTRO BOT, of which 150 are PlayStation cameos. We put a ton of love into animating these characters, so they re-enact funny moments from their respective games. So, no matter who your favorite PlayStation characters are, you’re bound to have a laugh with them. Once rescued, these little guys can combine to perform group actions that let you explore more of the hub planet. In the video, you can see a few of the PlayStation characters working together to make a running wall for Astro to get to higher places.

And finally… the part that a lot of you have been wondering and asking about ever since sharing our first trailer: The hero gameplay! So, yes, at a very few key moments in the adventure, Astro will get to borrow some special abilities from some PlayStation heroes. In this video, we can see how Kratos shares the amazing Leviathan Axe for Astro to use in a God of War-infused level. We won’t talk more about this because we believe it is one of the nicest features to discover by yourselves. We simply hope you find it to be both a faithful and fun tribute to the original material. We’d like to take this chance to thank all the game teams out there who gave us their trust and support to make this big PlayStation celebration possible.

There are still many other things we have not talked about! So we are very excited to see your reactions when Astro lands on September 6. Before going, we have a few more announcements to make: Please remember to collect your four special Bots in ASTRO’s PLAYROOM, pre-loaded on your PlayStation 5. Once rescued, you will be able to take these bots to the new game and add them to your starting crew. And in the last few hours preceding the ASTRO BOT launch, we will hold a special celebration countdown inside ASTRO’s PLAYROOM. Please come and check it out. Talking of the final countdown, as we approach ASTRO BOT‘s launch on September 6, you still have time to pre-order the game and receive early unlock of costumes and paints for your DualSpeeder as well as the Digital Soundtrack and Digital Artbook if you opt for the Digital Deluxe Edition.

Behind the Scenes of ASTRO BOT

And finally, we also invite you to check out our behind-the-scene series. These are quite short and snappy videos and a fun moment for us to sit down and reflect after many months of continuous work. We hope you enjoy these videos too. They will roll out as follows:

Episode 1: Crafted Gameplay (August 30) – Members of Team Asobi discuss what it takes to make a platformer feel good.

Episode 2: Techno Magic (TBA) – Discover how Team Asobi uses technology to create magical moments.

Episode 3: PlayStation Fiesta (TBA) – Learn how the PlayStation cameos came about, and the level of collaboration needed with other PlayStation Studios to bring this celebration to life.

Episode 4: Overflowing Charm (TBA) – We focus on the fun features of Astro Bot, from graphics to animation and all other charming touches.

Episode 5: Being an Asobi (TBA) – An insider’s look at what it means to be working at Team Asobi and features some of the young talents from the studio.

And that’s about it! The only thing left for us is to thank you for all the months of care and support leading to this launch. It has been a fun ride to go from a pre-loaded demo to taking Astro to the big stage. But it would never have happened without the encouragement from you, the players.

ASTRO BOT is due out for PlayStation 5 on September 6.

I'm excited to see what his special soles are and even more excited to get his Otherworldly Visitor companion. I'm so down bad over his biker outfit...

Watch the exciting trailer with brand new music here:

Here's a quick overview of what you can expect in Distance: Console Edition:

Melding the intensity of arcade racing with the agility of parkour, Distance catapults you into a neon-soaked world shrouded in mystery. Adapt quickly using your car’s abilities to jump, flip, and fly to overcome deadly hazards and survive.

Customizable controls

Level playlists

Multiple unlockable cars

Car paint job customization

Main menu level selection

And more!

What's new on PlayStation?

There are a handful of exciting new additions exclusive to PlayStation:

Haptic Feedback: The PS5 version features a completely new haptics integration. It allows you to feel the details of each impact, scrape, skid, and the abilities themselves in a whole new way. Since the haptics are largely audio driven I had a ton of fun working on this and it’s easily one of my favorite aspects of playing on PS5.

Activity Features: Easily track campaign progress from the control center, jump into a mode directly from the home screen, and see in-game help on campaign levels if needed.

Controller Lighting: On both PS4 and PS5 the controller lights with the glow color of your car. This helps to see overheat status as well as identify controllers during split-screen.

Regarding performance, Distance targets 60 fps across all single player content. On PS4 the game utilizes 1080p, and on PS5 it runs at 4K resolution. The PS4 Pro and PS5 version have both been enhanced with higher graphics quality and smoother performance. While there are dips here and there on the PS4, overall I think it runs pretty well, and it's even better on PS5 despite running at 4K.

Differences between PC and consoles

For those of you who’ve been enjoying Distance on PC, you’ll find that the core gameplay experience and overall features are extremely similar on PlayStation. There are of course some differences so I’d like to discuss them here.

I’ve talked previously about the technical limitations regarding Steam Workshop and the level editor, so at this time those aren’t available in Distance: Console Edition. Instead, we decided to officially include our favorite community-created levels directly into the base game for everyone to play. For example, our recent Kinetic Update (v1.5) on PC included 15 incredible new levels from the community and these will also be available on PlayStation!

Regarding online multiplayer, I completely understand that for some it might come as a shock to see it not included on consoles. While we have collectively spent a ton of time working on online multiplayer for PlayStation consoles, a series of unfortunate technical hurdles have led to it not being feasible for release at this time. Split-screen multiplayer is included however and allows for couch multiplayer in Arcade modes. For those curious about the behind-the-scenes technical info, please see below for a more detailed breakdown explanation.

With all that in mind, Distance: Console Edition is at a reduced price of $19.99 / €19.99. While it is possible that future updates will enable more content and features, please purchase with the assumption that the base game will not massively change in the future.

Getting into the technical details

If you’ve been following Distance for a while you’re probably aware that the PlayStation version has had a fairly long and tumultuous development. It was our first time developing anything for a console, and it’s been an incredible learning experience throughout.

Many years ago around the v1.0 launch we had a version of Distance using Unity 5 working somewhat reasonably on PS4 with several multiplayer features functional (though certainly not finished). After launching v1.1 I spent a lot of time implementing all of the various technical certification requirements for online play on PS4. This included things like parental chat restrictions, online ID consistency, etc.

As I was preparing to send a new build to Sony, I came to realize that to pass certification Distance needed to update to a much newer PS4 SDK version required by Sony. Unfortunately, this version of Unity 5.5 we used to develop Distance for years was locked to a very old PS4 SDK version, and the only option was to port Distance (yet again) to a much newer version of Unity. To comply with Sony's requirements, we needed to upgrade Unity from version 5.5 to Unity 2020. This unfortunately wasn’t negotiable and, as you might imagine, it took months to repair the various graphics and physics issues that came along with it.

The biggest hurdle was that our multiplayer system was completely dependent on the old Unity 5.5 version. The newer versions of Unity had fully abandoned their old multiplayer integration, meaning I basically had to start from scratch. One possibility was to attempt to replicate the custom RakNet backend we had relied on, but Unity’s version made several changes under the hood and without source code access it was challenging to emulate it. The other possibility was to simply rewrite everything from scratch and utilize an entirely new multiplayer system.

In short, I attempted both routes. After spending quite some time attempting to essentially rewrite all of Jason’s multiplayer tech, I realized doing this on my own will take an incredibly long time to get fully functional and properly tested. Between this issue, complications due to COVID, and my own personal issues with recovering from burnout, this was honestly a really frustrating time and one of the big reasons I decided to take a break from Distance development. As I mentioned in my September 2023 blog post I decided to go on a short hiatus to work on Project 2, and of course I enjoyed working on Project 2 so much that my short break soon became much longer.

Upon returning to Distance last year with a fresh perspective I made the incredibly tough call to disable online multiplayer for now. I would then focus on wrapping up all of the other features and content we have and get it into players’ hands as soon as possible. Of course it still took significantly longer than I expected to wrap up that last 1%, but at long long last we’re finally here.

Looking ahead

I really can’t say enough how much I’ve appreciated everyone’s patience and support during these challenging times. I’ve truly been blown away by the enthusiastic response to the Kinetic Update, and I’m so excited to keep creating and sharing stuff with you all.

To all of our new PlayStation players, welcome to the Distance community! I can’t wait to see which players take the top times on the new leaderboards. Please note that the best way to connect with other players is on the Distance Discord server.

You also might have noticed that there is a new remix of Isolation in the PlayStation release trailer. I’ve been developing a lot of new music for Project 2 and intend to release some songs officially soon, so please be on the lookout for more information about that. I’ll also be posting here and on social media when updates are released for PC and PlayStation.

Thank you all again!

[crystalelemental]

Legends Arceus rules, and Glaceon is my second favorite Eeveelution, so I took quite a liking to this pair. I've been using Irida like...constantly. For everything. I love using her. She's stupid good. This upgrade is well deserved. 28 HP, 10 in both defenses, 14 speed, and 24 special attack. That's a sizable upgrade for a Tech, I think. She already trucked things, now it's just ridiculous.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO PLAYING OBEY ME: NIGHTBRINGER FOR FREE! - SECTION 1 - HOW TO GET CARDS!

So, cards... cards are hands down the most essential part of Obey Me. You can't have ANYTHING without cards. Not even a pact with Mammon. But fortunately there's 3 different ways to obtain cards. Some require luck, some require extreme patience. You have plenty of those though... right?

Number 1 - the Gacha Method

The most effective way to acquire new SSR+ cards is by performing 10 pulls at a time. (See the right side of the photo.)

These ensure you will receive at least 1 SSR or above each time. Fortunately, with some grinding these aren't hard to achieve. I'll describe 3 different methods of doing 10x pulls from most efficient to least efficient:

✅ Using the 1 time 10x pull for 150 devil points in event gachas

Every time a new set of event cards is released, there is a limited 1st time 10x pull for a discounted 150 devil points (dp). A new set is released every 2 weeks, so try to save up at least 150dp by the new release if possible. You’ll always receive 1 free pull too!

✅ Using 10 demon vouchers

Demon vouchers (dv) are easily gained by buying the level up congrats sets for 99dp. You’ll need to buy these sets twice to acquire the 10dv needed for a 10x pull. 198dp total. This will save you 72dp per pull. You can also gain dv from events, achievements, login bonuses, and by exchanging 45 raven. Make sure to save dv until you have 10, even if it takes a while.

Congrats sets pop up after levelling up. At first it's every 5 levels, then 3, then every 1. They cost 99 dp to buy and give 5x dv + other goodies. Try to buy them whenever you can afford them. It's ok if you miss out. There will be more.

✅ Using 270 Devilpoints

Really I’d advise saving your dp for the congrats sets, even if you have plenty. It's more cost effective. However, if you truly don't mind spending the extra 70dp, then use them! Especially if you might miss out on a limited time card of your fav(s) if you don't.

❌ Single pulls

For 30dp or 1 dv, you can do 1 pull. This is high risk and low reward. You aren't guaranteed anything but a shot at your dreams. I don't recommend doing this. But if you can't resist temptation then at least Diavolo will find it relatable. You do get a free pull in A, M, and G pools often though.

General gacha advice:

Using the limited event gacha is amazing for potentially getting UR+ cards and is usually your best option. However, you will not be able to get non-event UR cards from these pools. DO use the A box occasionally to get UR cards, otherwise you’ll only have repeat SSRs after a while. (These UR cards also come with outfits.)

Event cards give you bonus points in current events. These are worth getting to help you grind event rewards, including unique URs and SSR memories!

In general pulling for memory cards is not worth the cost. You can get plenty from daily free pulls + playing the events. 80k points for event memory SSRs isn't too difficult with consistent playing. 

Save up your raven from repeat cards to buy dv or outfits for your fav(s).

Number 2 - the Hard Mode Method

The second most effective, and most reliable way, of obtaining new UR+ cards is by playing hard mode.

By reaching S rank in hard mode boss battles or extreme songs, you will unlock the ability to receive UR+ shards. If you collect 80 you can forge a UR+ with 60k Grimm. While this sounds like a LONG grind, and it is, it will be worth it. You can even pick what card(s) to aim for. So go get your fav(s) guaranteed. These cards are as powerful as the gacha ones.

✅ Getting duplicates is useful too in order to raise the level cap and skill tree cap of the UR+ as well. Even just one of these UR+ can boost your power immensely.

Number 3 - The Event Method

Every 2 weeks a new event is released in NB. With it comes a new SSR memory card (80k event points (ep)), UR card (160k ep), and a UR memory card (240k ep). These are the best rewards from the events. Unfortunately, receiving these cards involve a mixture of grinding AND luck. (Example below).

Box events are unpredictable. You might get an event UR in like, 120k ep, but it's unlikely. It might even need 250k ep. Do be careful with them as they involve more gambling.

However, you should at least be able to get the SSR memory if you log in a few times a day to use your AP on the event. Slowly but surely you’ll get there, even without the event card bonuses. You might need to watch a few ads or use some dp though.

Getting the UR card is possible if you get lucky in the event gacha. Even if you only receive the SSR, if you use jokers to raise its skill level you can get even more ep per play. You’ll have to play consistently though, watch some ads and use energy drinks to achieve your goals. It's unlikely you’ll be able to get these URs often if you're free to play. So try to save up your resources for URs of your fav(s).

❌ Event memory URs are impossible to get without paying, so either pay to get them or act like they don't exist.

❌ Ranking for a UR card is difficult without paying too, and it can be precarious. So avoid that unless you're hardcore (and rich).

Mun Additions

(Not included in the initial notes; felt I should say something.)

- This patch will prompt you to complete the tutorials again. They can be skipped.

- Custom builds have been deleted. I am not sure if this has affected every player, but as a precaution, get ready to remake your character builds.

- The grading system has potentially been fixed. It could have simply been reset. Only time will tell.

Edit:

- Emote wheels have been reset.

- You can now type in chat in the player select screen.

- Potential stealth nerf to Imani's Snapshot 1x scope damage. There seems to be a buff to her 2x damage.

- They have changed the hero mastery UI. Additionally, there is a new animation for when you earn a badge in-game.

- There are new icons and new titles.

- Players who use Quick Chat will have to reenable it. The UI for it has seemingly been removed, so here's a post detailing it.

rant about weekly bosses + resin

it’s so unbelievably hilarious to me that hyv is adding “big changes!” to the weekly boss system in 4.2 by……. letting players fight them without having unlocked them via story quest. (and by hilarious i mean nobody’s laughing)

don’t get me wrong, that’s great, and that probably should’ve been a feature already with how long the sumeru arc is, but like, if you’re wl 7 or 8 (aka ar 50+, which really only takes a few weeks of gameplay to reach) you can join just about anyone for co-op and fight the bosses that way (that’s how my friend who’s behind on the story was doing it while he caught up)

but like. no resin changes? whatsoever? bffr. i’d so much rather have it cost less resin but still have to do the story to unlock the boss for my own world.

if you’ve been playing since version 1 like me you probably remember how weekly bosses used to ALWAYS cost 60 resin, and then later they added the 3 times per week that they cost 30 instead. you know when they added that? no, not with inazuma, with AZHDAHA. back in version 1.5! he was the 4th weekly boss in the game, so this actually ended up lowering the weekly boss resin total from 3x60 (160) to 3x30 + 60 (150) total.

they realized 2 ½ whole years ago that having four (4) weekly bosses costing 60 resin each with the resin recharge rate/cap the way it was (and still is! it’s been capped at 160 since 1.1) was a lot, and so they adjusted it. which was great!

you know how many weekly bosses there are now?

*eight*. and it’ll be 9 after 4.2.

that’s 3x30 + 5x60, a total of 390 (soon to be 450) resin PER WEEK to claim rewards from all the weekly bosses. and yeah, i’ve fought the earlier weekly bosses hundreds of times, so technically i can skip those, but what about new players? they still need those weapon billets and talent materials and elemental gemstones for the characters they unlock for every weekly boss

like it just feels so silly to say “big changes!” to weekly bosses and have it be really such an insignificant change in comparison to changes that players actually want/need. with the amount of characters, artifact sets, weapons, weekly bosses, etc, etc, needed to be farmed, ESPECIALLY for newer players, i can’t really appreciate any changes to any game mechanics unless it’s resin related atp

and now i’m just gonna throw around some ideas:

3 -> 6 instances of rewards costing 30 resin per week (450 -> 360 total)

all weekly bosses costing 60 -> 40 resin to claim (also 450 -> 360 total)

resin cap 160 -> 200 at least (that would get you 5 condensed resin, but 240 seems more reasonable to me)

being able to auto a domain/boss fight after you’ve successfully beaten it on that difficulty 10 (or some other arbitrary number) times

artifact domains costing mora rather than resin to farm (since it’s completely random which of the 2 sets you get, what type of piece you get, what main stat you get for the timepiece/goblet/circlet, what substats you get, and what upgrades the substats get when you level them)

Second Born Blood

When this card is equipped on Cain and Abel (Avenger),

Gain 20 critical stars and grant party Invincibility for 1 turn when they are defeated.

Description:

”Am I my brother’s keeper?”

In the years I was left to wander the earth, the question I had posed to the Lord continued to plague my mind. The ground onto which I had spilled my brother’s blood never bore fruit again. The curse etched into my soul burned as I beared the brunt of attempts on my life, only to be saved by it and live another day.

”Am I my brother’s keeper?”

For a time, I despised him. I loathed the searing sun and desolate ground, detested the stinging winds and wrathful flames. It must be his fault, the burden I bear. Why had the Lord favored him, when my offering was just as plentiful? If he hadn’t been a braggart, I wouldn’t have struck him dead!

”Am I my brother’s keeper?”

What a fool. He had done nothing but rejoice, yet I was blinded by envy. I had partaken in sin of my own volition, there was no one else to blame. This curse was my just deserts.

If I could turn back time, return to those blissful days before jealousy consumed me..

”Brother, Master is calling. Let’s not keep them waiting.”

Then I shall be my brother’s keeper, for as long as fate allows me.

Character Information:

The tragic brothers from the book of Genesis.

There’s not much to be said about this pair that hasn’t already been said, aside from how cruel it must be to now share a Spirit Origin with your killer.

Oddly, Cain seems to be the mild-mannered and polite brother, while Abel’s presence bears a menacing aura.

Approach them with caution.

Bond 1:

Height/Weight: 175 cm • 76.2 kg/160 cm • 60 kg

Origin: Biblical

Alignment: Chaotic Evil/Chaotic

Neutral

Genders: Male

”Thank you for having us, Master.”

”Master, may I strike Brother?”

”Oh Abel...”

Bond 2:

There were once a pair of brothers, the elder named Cain and younger named Abel.

Cain was a tiller, working the land, while Abel was a herdsman, tending to livestock. One day, they were commanded to make an offering to God.

Cain burnt the plentiful yield of his crops, and Abel the finest young of his flock. However, God only looked upon Abel’s offering with favor. God told the older brother it was for his own good, for his improvement

Envy, pride and wrath raged within Cain, that he had been rejected so callously. And when the brothers were next alone in his fields, the younger was struck dead.

And so God banished Cain, marked as sinner.

But that’s a story we all know, isn’t it?

Bond 3:

For in truth, what had it meant to strike someone dead, when death meant nothing to man yet? Cain knew not what he was doing when he attacked, simply acting on his basest urge to hurt out of being hurt. And from Abel’s death was born the sin of murder.

Perhaps the true curse he was inflicted with wasn’t the mark God gave him, but the overwhelming guilt that plagued him for the rest of his wandering days.

All he could think about was the life he had snuffed; the kind and caring soul surrounded by his herds. As he grew old, how would his brother have appeared if they still stood side-by-side? As his child was born, would he have been there to congratulate him? As he laid beneath the toppled bricks of his rooftop, was Abel there in the winds, rightfully laughing at the irony of his death by stone?

Oh, remorse was a heavy burden to bear indeed.

Bond 4:

○The Sins and Boons of Eve A+

Some interpretations say that while the brothers shared Eve as their mother, their fathers may have been different. Cain is sometimes believed to have been conceived through an affair, partners ranging from the snake that tempted Eve, to a fallen angel, to the devil himself. And it is this possible inhuman blood that leads to one answer as to why the older brother was capable of such sin.

○Mark of the Pariah EX

The curse placed upon Cain was one meant to make him suffer. The earth he once nurtured would never again offer its prize for his labor, and those who saw the mark upon his skin would know his nature. And perhaps it was mercy, or a twisted sense of justice, that God also made the mark one of protection; Cain would not die before his allotted time, unlike the life he so cruelly ended.

○Corvid Guided Burial A+

When Abel was struck down, Cain was at a loss. The death of man was a mystery to him, let alone one by another’s hand. It was then a Corvid landed on the ground. The bird sang a strange, sorrowful song as it scratched the ground, calling for the murderer to follow it. And follow he did, digging a deep hole to bury his brother in.

Though, Cain couldn’t understand why there were tears running down his face as he did.

Bond 5:

Genesis of Envy

「 Death of the Brother, Origin of Sin」

Rank: A+

Type: Anti-Army Sin

Range: 0~?

Target: N/A

While on the surface Cain appears to be calm and levelheaded, his sin follows him wherever he goes. There’s an urge that scratches underneath his skin; to kill his brother again, and again, and again. As long as Abel lives, Cain must forever hold back the instinct to strike him down. So instead, he takes out that pent up desire on the enemies he faces, tearing them down without regret or mercy. They will be his sacrificial lambs; anything to keep Abel safe.

Exactment of Envy

「 First Victim of Sin, Slaughtered Lamb」

Rank: A+

Type: Anti-Unit Sin

Range: 1~3

Target: 1 Person

The brothers are inextricably linked through their shared tragedy, each too weak to be summoned separately. It is Abel that causes their shared Spirit Origin to manifest as Avenger, but had they not been summoned together, Exactment of Envy would not be nearly as powerful without him being directly linked to the source of his vengeance. Even as murderer and victim, these brothers rely on one another, in a twisted way.

Unlock After Interlude:

Ahhh, he deserves to die. How dare he, how dare he, how dare he!

What had I ever done to deserve this?! Had I not been good? Had I not been dutiful? Had I not been kind? I only did what was asked of me! I only wanted to do right by the Lord, my God!

In the field that day...

Why, why, WHY!?

Why... Big brother...?

No.

You’re not my brother, are you? You’re nothing but a filthy animal in disguise, pretending to be an innocent lamb. Murderer, murderer, murderer, that must be all you are...

Then I suppose that means both us brothers died that day! Hah, hahahaAHAHAHAHA!

And yet... why am I still not satisfied?

My Room

Bond Lvl. 1:

Cain: Master, if I may be so bold, could I request we be placed on the backlines?

Abel: Coward.

Cain: It’s for your own good Abel!

Abel: As if you care what happens to me. Or did you decide to conveniently forget your sins?

Cain: Abel, I...

Abel: Shut up, I don’t want to hear anymore.

Bond Lvl. 2:

Cain: You know, we used to be very close once.

Abel: I don’t think they care to hear. Nor do I.

Cain: Abel was the cutest little thing as a babe! He’d go trotting around trying to get the sheep to play with him. And he’d always ask me to pick him up and give him tosses when father was too busy. It was adorable!

Abel: Do you want to die?

Cain: Does it bring back any memories?

Abel: ....

Bond Lvl. 3:

Abel: You’re far too comfortable having us around, Master.

Cain: Why must you be so blunt about everything...? And why do you say that?

Abel: Because Master seems like a good lamb. They shouldn’t have to make due with filth like you.

Cain: I suppose that’s true. But they’ve made contracts with many other... Unusual types of Servants. Perhaps our presence doesn’t bother them much?

Abel: I don’t like them either. They should stay away too.

Cain: Oh...

Bond Lvl. 4:

Abel: Master, are you free? My fool of a brother hurt himself again. Heal him.

Cain: It- It’s nothing! Anything to protect you both, after all...

Abel: If you die, I die with you, so let them heal you... Tch, this shared Spirit Origin is such a pain...

Cain: Ehehe... I’m happy to see that you even somewhat care for me.

Abel: Didn’t you hear what I just said? Maybe I really should kill you myself.

Cain: That’s the only way I want to die. Would that free you from this vengeance?

Abel: ... I don’t know...

Bond Lvl. 5:

Abel: The truth is... I don’t remember much about being human. Alive. Nowadays, there are feelings, or glimpses, but never anything solid. My memory begins and ends with my death, and that Brother killed me.

Cain: Abel...

Abel: So, you shouldn’t trust that Sinner to protect you, Master, or any of his ilk. They’ll try anything to corrupt a nice lamb like you.

Cain: But Abel, it’s our job as Servants to-

Abel: I can protect them on my own just fine. I don’t need your help.

Cain: ... Aha, haha, I see.

Abel: What? What are you laughing at!? Shut up!

Cain: No, I understand! So there really is a little of the old you in there... I see I shouldn’t be too worried then, since Abel is so resolved.

Cain: Rest assured Master, we’ll both do our very best to help you on your journey, any way we can. We swear. Right Abel?

Abel: I...

Cain: ....

Abel: .... We swear...

Dialogue 1:

Cain: What are you thinking about Abel?

Abel: Aside from killing you?

Cain: Yes, aside from that.

Abel: ... I want to lay down. On something cozy.

Cain: Huh?

Dialogue 2:

Cain: Master, is there anything we can do for you?

Abel: Something you need killed?

Dialogue 3:

Cain: You know Master, Abel used to be very silly!

Abel: Stop.

Cain: He’d follow the lambs around and make baa-ing sounds at them! Oh, and-!

Abel: You seem to want to die right now.

Cain: … Ahaha.

Dialogue 4 (After reaching Bond 5):

Abel: Go away.

Cain: Abel, don’t be rude!

Abel: I meant you, not Master. I want to play with Master for a bit.

Cain: .... Then far be it from me to stop you.

Abel: Stop smiling like that. It’s disgusting.

Dialogue 5 (After reaching Bond 5):

Cain: Abel, you know I love you right?

Abel: No you don’t.

Cain: Of course I do.

Abel: Shut up.

Cain: I love-

Abel: QUIET!

Dialogue 6 (Paris / Attila the San(ta)):

Abel: ...

Cain: Hm? Is something wrong?

Abel: ... Looks soft...

Cain: Soft? ... Oh, that sheep?

Abel: Mhm...

Cain: Should I go ask if you can pet it?

Abel: I can ask for myself!

Dialogue 7 (Avenger Class Servants):

Abel: Huh? That’s...

Cain: Ah, I suppose they’re another like us. Hm, something wrong Abel?

Abel: ... N-nothing, I... don’t like it.

Cain: There is a despairing aura to them... Perhaps I’m just used to it.

Dialogue 8 (Dioscuri / Trung Sisters):

Cain: Ah, look Abel, it’s those siblings I heard about!

Abel: Siblings... And you share a Spirit Origin as well?

Cain: I’m sure you must have a wonderful bond, to manifest together like this. Frankly, I’m a little jealous.

Abel: ... I don’t see why, it’s awful being stuck with you.

Cain: Oh Abel, you really know how to break my heart...

Abel: ... What heart...

Dialogue 9 (Kiara Sessyoin / Kama / Koyanskaya of Light / Koyanskaya of Darkness / Larva Tiamat / Sodom’s Beast/Draco)

Abel: Grrrrr!

Cain: Woah! Abel, calm down!

Abel: Let me go! I can feel them! Another one is here; Sinner, Sinner! SCUM LIKE THAT SHOULD DIE!

Cain: Master, I’m sorry, I’ll make sure to hold him back- Abel, gnaw on my arm if that will help placate you.

Abel: Grrr....

Dialogue 10 (Karna / Santa Karna / Arjuna / Arjuna Alter):

Cain: Ah, I see we’re not the only brothers here with a... Complicated relationship.

Abel: What’s complicated about it? You killed me in cold blood. We’re murderer and victim before we’re brothers.

Cain: Always to the heart of the matter huh...

Abel: ... That said, I think I can understand them. Just a little.

Cain: Is that a good thing?

Abel: ... I don’t know.

Likes:

Cain: I used to love growing crops but ever since my curse... Well, you know. But, I did learn all sorts of things during my wandering, I’d say I’m quite partial to whittling in particular. What about you Abel?

Abel: I... think I liked... Soft things.

Dislikes:

Abel: I’ll kill him one day. I despise him.

Cain: ... I can’t say that I don’t agree. I deserve it, after all.

About the Holy Grail:

Cain: A wish huh... Sounds too good to be true.

Abel: To kill brother.

Cain: How decisive. Well, considering my wish would be “Abel’s happiness”, then I suppose our wish is one in the same.

Abel: ...

During an Event:

Abel: It’s noisy over there, how annoying.

Cain: Now now, don’t say that! Let’s at least see what’s happening.

Birthday:

Cain: Today is the day you received the gift of life! ... I must apologize, but I feel that it would be best for you to stay away from us for the day, Master.

Abel: For once, I agree with him. We’re nothing but a bad omen on a day like this. But... Um...

Cain: Abel?

Abel: H- Happy birthday to youuuu... ♪

Cain: Ahh, hehe... Yes, please accept our well wishes, at the very least.

Valentine’s CE:

Olive Branch Brothers

Description:

A Valentine’s return gift from Cain and Abel.

When Abel expressed that he wished to return your kind Valentine’s gesture, Cain immediately set forth the idea of creating carvings. It took the brothers’ some deliberation (and fighting) to come to the conclusion that the most meaningful gift they could provide you was their united cooperation. The two figures are not just a physical olive branch, but a metaphorical one as well, each brother carving the likeness of the other.

Cain’s carving of Abel is smooth and practiced, nary a blemish in sight. It’s shine and lacquered finish bring out the natural beauty of the wood grain, and it’s clear to see his experience.

Abel’s carving of Cain is... Crude, to say the least. Painfully sharp edges, a rough texture, and smears of blood where he’d clearly nicked himself on the carving tool are all present. And yet, you can’t help but find the earnestness heartwarming.

Of course, as you proudly display them on your shelf, you try to ignore the obvious self-vandalism Abel committed on Figure-Cain’s head and heart.

These brothers still have a long way to go.
