UTTU lore soon

Been looking into all of the previous and future (haha I love CN version) UTTU events to try and piece together this faction that is here since the begging of the game but we barely know anything about. So when 2.1 hits global I think I'll do a post summarazing all of the current available UTTU lore in the game, so we know a little bit more about the place Barbara works for

Somehow I managed to finish the UTTU event using only guys. just had to try and get some cards i still didnt had but it is done. Do not underestimate APPLe's healing! (but do use a proper healer lmao I just have no options besides him and... Darley Clatter? yeesh)

UTTU

OK RIGHT! I'm looking at these again and some of them are signed djbxsjhsjs cuz I've pulled many dups but very few signed cards sjxbsjjs so I'm just gonna assume the signed is a bit hard to get

In total, I have 160 cards, and 15 are signed cards (then two soundtrack cards and two vertin cards). I'm gonna assume you get at least one soundtrack card and one vertin card for one box... but it's just an assumption since I canny read Chinese.

And here are the highlights of these cards shxbsjsb

I'm so glad I have at least one signed lilya card sjsbjsjsksk I love lilya sm

Everything I do is for her.

I'm gonna use her dups I got for a project hehe

I got two packs of these djbdjwjsw it was wishful thinking that I'll get all the lilya cards... at least I got dups?

*sighs*

*buys two more boxes*

For lilya.

Isokania UTTU boss... First Limbo, and now this. Bluepoch keeps forcing our hands to doom Isokania...

Something I find interesting with their dynamic here: at the early rounds of the battle, Isolde keeps protecting Kakania by taunting us to attack her, so we basically can't attack Kakania without going through Isolde first.

But the funny thing is, everytime Isolde gets attacked, Kakania being Kakania, keeps directing the damages to herself and healing Isolde instead.

It's like... they're trying to one up each other on who should bear the damages for the other, and end up with this somewhat effective strategy. Why are they like this. They make me feel so sick.

Does anyone have any more screenshots of the playable character as boss description?

I want to read more of them but I’m stuck at uttu 18 and probably continue to 😔

I found a screenshot of click as a boss but it in korean and I havent got there yet :”|

Bluepoch has been making more changes with the characters' profiles.

Sonetto's exhibition text formerly was "Exhibited at the St. Pavlov Foundation by the inspection team." And Afflatus was formerly referred to as "Inspired By."

vila woke up and chose violence despite having literally no attack cards. im so scared

Now that global's getting some more good world lore with the recent two events, I can finally just talk about how much it fascinates me that arcanists, by nature of their genetics, actually are just a different species of their own.

Like, the clear discrimination aside, the fact they definitely stand out among humans truly emphasizes the battle they face to be recognized as equals to humans if you view their race as not a sub-category of human, but as a different species entirely. How like fantasies depict humanoid creatures such as elves and dwarves, but they're never classified as human. That's what arcanists are starting to feel like.

This idea is also supported by the many hints and factoids scattered around the in-game UI. How the Celluloid Activity (the game's energy system) is a form of genetic DNA seen only in arcanists that help them control arcanum. Or how the concept of Gnosis or Deep Thought is their way of focusing their energy and help process the world and the arcanum around them. Blonney's struggle narratively in the event shows just how much arcanists think very differently compared to humans that it's seen as "odd" and "not normal" (also love the neuro divergent subtext of that for arcanists honestly).

But the real kicker of how it makes me confirm that it's not just a human discrimination of a race, but straight up xenophobia for an entire species is the conversations we get from the entire Nightmare in Green Lake, where the majority of the cast is purely arcanists interacting with other arcanists.

From the conversation in car of casually talking about Tooth Fairy eating fairies to the point she got cursed to have her teeth stolen like it's a conversation about the weather, to them just glossing over the erratic behavior of Changeling keeping campers hostage and later just getting rid (or throwing them out of the campsite) once she's bored of them. These are seen as normal behavior to arcanists.

Like, forget the members of the foundation probably seeing worse, I'm surprised Blonney didn't react more to the realization, it's honestly hilarious. But that just shows the clear divide of what makes arcanists different from humans. Which also explains why a lot of the arcanists talk so cryptic and artistic, sometimes not making sense unlike the human characters who talk straightforward and direct.

Because to us, as humans, we understand that language better and viewing arcanists' language is hard to decipher since they're a different species with a different culture and way of thinking.

This opens up larger avenues of viewing the struggles of arcanists in a human dominated world and the dark implication of the Foundation potentially experimenting on arcanists not to find the cell to withstand the Storm, but to transplant the ability to use arcanum onto humans through genetic alteration. Which can be backed up with the masks the Manus gives to humans to withstand the Storm, but in exchange turns them into monstrous beings because they can't handle the forced application of Celluloid Activity on their body.

Is it gay to invite a girl stargazing to enjoy a rare quiet peaceful moment just between them???

UTTU and The New Age Movement

So, has anyone noticed that the weird statue thingy in the New Age market in the Golden City event looks kinda like the UTTU Magazine symbol?

I wonder what's the significance of this. I doubt it's just a coincidence. Maybe UTTU had something to do with the creation of the New Age Movement, since we know it was mostly arcanists who participated in it, and that the magazine is mostly for arcanists and about arcanists.

What do you think?

As fucked up as the other parts of Barbara's backstory are, this is kinda funny ngl.

Her full character sheet and udimo under the cut

(Mystics here is a mistranslation, it's supposed to be "arcanist")

[anonymocha]

They’re beefing.
