The theory behind the mechasms explained.

‼️ SPOILERS FOR SEASON 4 ‼️

LEAVE AT THE WARNING IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN EPISODES 9 AND 10.

This theory begins with Qilby.

Because of his story, we were able to learn that Lokus is in fact a mechasm.

As soon as he gains the eliatrope dofus, he decides to bail the group to observe Lokus. He talks to Shinonome and tells her that they should decide to make a new Eliacube by calling this one “Eliasphere”.

We learn through this interaction that Orgonax, the first mechasm mentioned by Qilby in Season 2, was not only the youngest but he was also the one whose heart wasn’t fully developed like the others.

This is why the Eliacube was in the shape of a cube rather than a sphere like his other counterparts. It wasn’t at its full power. So the Eliasphere, compared to the Eliacube, is much stronger.

We have to remember that Qilby’s story in Season 2 was filled with lies and deception which means it’s up to us to fill in the blanks.

Here is what I proposed truly happened :

Many eons ago, Qilby was a part of the Eliatrope council but grew incredibly tired and numb to the cycle he and his siblings kept going through. Every single one of his lives felt empty and unoriginal which made him become quite nihilistic about life. He just wished there was something, anything new to discover on this boring planet he calls home. As if the krosmoz listened to his wish, there came another race on the eliatropes’ planet. They were named the mechasms and were a mechanical race that travelled around the krosmoz.

For the first time since his first life, Qilby felt curious and amazed again. He wanted to learn everything about these mechasms, what they are, and how they are. When no one was looking, he sneaked around Orgonax, the youngest of them, and decided to extract his heart to study it. At that moment, he learned that the mechasms were able to live without their hearts since they were only used as power sources for them. Orgonax had his heart stolen and knew who the culprit was. He warned the other mechasms and the war between the eliatropes started. Since the mechasms weren’t a race capable of speaking directly like the eliatropes, the eliatropes weren’t able to understand why the mechasms attacked them and that Qilby had been the one to start the war.

The eliatropes had to leave their planet to find a new one and to distance themselves from the mechasms. Qilby proposes that they use a new invention he made called the Eliacube to leave the planet much more quickly. The council accepts the idea, given how they have no other choices in mind, and leave the planet with their people. While the journey was a long one, Qilby was enjoying himself and looked full of life again. He loved the fact that he could once again experience the unknown and study new species he gets to receive from Yugo and Adamaï on the planets they keep coming to. He had also been using this time to properly get to learn more about the Eliacube.

It took years to find what the eliatropes were looking for until they finally found a planet filled with wakfu which was later going to be called the World of Twelve.

The eliatropes were having fun again and took it easy. For once, Qilby was not pleased by this discovery. He did not want to be cooped up on a planet again when he had just been having fun. That’s why he decided to bring Orgonax by alerting his location through the Eliacube. Orgonax came much more quickly. And with the other mechasms, they destroyed the planet that the eliatropes have taken refuge in, making Yugo learn that Qilby was the one who alerted Orgonax so he fights him and throws him in the White Dimension.

Since Qilby had used the youngest mechasm’s heart at the time, he must’ve wondered what would happen if he went for a full-powered mechasm instead.

When Qilby listens to his curiosity once more, he attempts to touch Lokus’ heart but that’s when we see a series of events flashing through Qilby’s mind.

At first glance, even when we pause frame by frame, we do not understand what we’re looking at. But some people were able to piece things out.

What you’re seeing, is in actuality the council of the seven mechasms.

(if you start on the left side, you can see Lokus in the first place and then Orgonax in the third)

These flashes where they’re seen in the world have been theorized by some people to be flashbacks of what was once the second great Eliatrope war when the eliatropes have been found once again by the mechasms and destroyed the planet that will become the World of Twelve.

Either that, or these flashing scenes represent the total opposite: they’re all future reveals which would mean the mechasms would be partially the ones responsible for ruining the world. It’s clear to see that the mechasms haven’t been fully wiped out. Lokus is a reminder of that. They seem to now be watchers of the krosmoz which is why they’re only standing around not specifically doing anything unless they are forced to react.

So what are the mechasms supposed to be?

They are a sentient mechanical race who might have a council leading on top just like the Eliatropes.

The Mechasms are travellers and watchers of the krosmoz. They are usually pacifiers when they feel the need to be. They do not specifically interact through speech and can live without their hearts but they choose to keep it at all times since it harbours extreme power energy. Just the youngest heart alone was able to create a whole dimension.

Even the dofus, which can make an individual more powerful than the gods, cannot beat them. It takes a certain person to be able to be worthy of a mechasm’s heart. No one knows why that is a thing they do but they can choose someone no matter who they are.

[Note]: Also if you’re wondering where the Eliacube went after Oropo’s dimension, a tweet from Tot answering a user, said that the Eliacube is somewhere in the World of Twelve.

User: “The Eliacube came back in the World of Twelve just like the six eliatrope dofus. Knowing where it is and who has it is the real question.”

Tot: “The dofus and the Eliacube cannot be destroyed…The dofus always come back to their original locations… As for the Eliacube, that’s another story. But it is somewhere.”

The dark side of Steampunk: Nox (Part 2)

Milien spent the entire night obsessively analysing the artifact, instead of sleeping with his wife, and in the morning, he was forced to face the consequences.

Fully immersed by the possibilities given to him by the Cube, Milien is already at work to capitalise on them in order to get out of the vicious cycle he's gotten into by borrowing money to keep himself afloat.

Here's where the milk gets finally spilled and the truth starts to knock on the door. Milien's ego, up to this point, was only the fruit of an inferiority complex set by the inability of his inventions to catch popularity; but now, it's finally revealed that Nox's obsession for the cube and it's constant need for validation from his family is also a result of Milien's antisocial behaviour probably rooted from a societal lack of care for individuality and creativity.

Ironic, since, by this very statement, Nox undermines other people's individuality and creativity to place his own higher. This is a major extreme of Steampunk, when either the society or the industry reigns over the other, the outcome can only be disastrous, as true balance can only be found when the two sides support and complement each other.

This isn't too much of a major flaw for Milien, as long as it gets addressed, it's pretty common for his archetype and it's often overcome by the end of the story.

Ah. S##t. He doesn't overcome it.

These GIFs speak for themselves; the ego boost given to him by the artifact allows for the insanity to take place, even his wife, who he has been shown capable of repressing his negative traits for, can't calm him down anymore; the next time she visits him, Galanthe tries to get Milien to throw away the Cube and go back to his family, but in response, Nox shuts her out of the door, since what she is suggesting would rekindle his inferiority complex and bring him back to square one.

Briefly touching on this particular moment, Noximilien knows the Cube's real name, despite the fact that he apparently shouldn't know what it was right until his confrontation with Grougaloragran 200 years later.

It could just be a continuity error, but I want to give tot the benefit of the doubt this time and assume it's instead intentional; back when we had only season 1, the Eliacube was this mysterious, corrupting entity whose origins were never made fully clear. So, for us to not be able to find any sense behind this discovery of his, leads us to be unnerved by the eldritch horror vibes that were originally backed into the Eliacube's concept.

As time goes by, Galanthe decides to take away her family from her husband, in hope that this will force him to get rid of the Eliacube and go back to them.

And for a brief moment, her plan almost works. Milien is taking the situation seriously, and it's about to abandon everything to go join his wife, but then... Nox doesn't.

I don't really know the meaning behind that owl shot with one weird eye, but by judging the fact that the very next shot is Noximilien's laboratory emitting smog into the air, I'll interpret it as a metaphor for pollution brought by the industrialization of Nox's operation, mindlessly destroying the planet without a person's notice.

I really like how the ticking sound of clocks gets faster before turning into knocks at the door, it makes it feel like an unfathomable amount of time has passed.

As for the reason why the beggar decides to check up on Nox and inform him of his family, I've actually come up with a way better explanation than just simply "the beggar was actually a good person, just a little short tempered and grumpy", which works well enough, but it could be much more compelling;

You see, in the previous part I've said that the beggar is the representation of the strict Victorian society and Milien the freeing Industrial revolution, their clash and tension is what gives Steampunk its meaning and charm; so here, it's almost like the beggar is saying "Bro, WTF? Shouldn't we clash against each other? I haven't seen you in months? What happened?" since, if the clockmaker doesn't want to free himself from the claustrophobic expectations of society, then... what is his purpose in the narrative?

As the rage, regret, and madness of the ensuing moment unfolds, the Steampunk narrative is completely shattered:

No longer Noxy wants to advance society to the next level of evolution; now, he just wants to bring everything back to how it was.

No longer Nox is going to use his inventions to bring wonder and joy to the world; now, he's going to use them to destroy lives in order to restore his own.

Steampunk is dead, and its rotting corpse is now being used as a vessel for the Eldritch Horror narrative that is about to ensure.

Milien is dead; a legend is born.

A terror is born.

NOX.

Wakfu Theory

What if Oropo had made a deal with Nora?

We know that in episode 11 of Wakfu season 3, Oropo complained that the Gods do not listen to the prayers of the Eliotropes (and the Twelvers in general) and put in place his plan of the Eliabombe to kill the Gods and replace them with the Demi-Gods, their children.

He used the Brotherhood (the Forgotten) to accomplish his plan. He sacrificed hundreds of Demi-Gods too. This being explained in the scenario of Wakfu season 3.

At the beginning of Wakfu season 4, Yugo meets Nora at the Inglorium and the question that arose was: What was she doing there??? Did she know that Yugo would be there or was she… waiting for Oropo?

In the scenario of season 4, it was clear that she was waiting for her little brother Yugo. And it should be noted that, in the scenario of season 3, Oropo had initially planned to detonate the Eliabombe in the Inglorium once his plan was completed… or rather once the deadline for an agreement had passed and he could have carried out his plan if he had not had what he wanted!

At present, if I am mistaken, we do not know where the Gods are but what is certain is that the Great Goddess was there, she and the Eliatrope people.

To position ourselves well in the timeline and in the context: the OAV Oropo Battle for the Eliacube is several hundred years before the events of the animated series Wakfu.

One More Gate is positioned in this same timeline since SPOILER ALERT:

Oropo's spirit was in the Eliacube for centuries and Nox had found it (the cube) at that time.

And there, there are several possibilities (including one) on the meeting between Oropo and Nora:

Before the events of the OVA on the eliotrope. Just before fighting Grougaloragran, Bouillon spoke of his fight against an impossible to kill dragon that he had to rip out its heart to end it, perhaps Efrim. Oropo was a witness to this fight since he had mentioned "As usual".

Maybe he had met Nora at that time, by chance, and that's where this agreement was created between them. This could explain the outfit he wore before his coma in the OVA.

By making this agreement, he obtained the possibility of creating this outfit while having a cape without breaking his head about clothes. This is the first possibility.

HOWEVER, IMPORTANT DETAIL, 2nd possibility: he already had this outfit before finding Bouillon so the agreement had surely been made well BEFORE. So before Efrim's necromization! Oropo must have met Nora and Efrim by chance in the middle of their quest.

During the events of S3, strangely he can no longer make this outfit reappear with his cape already present, surely he was too "weakened" due to his post-coma and time to recreate one, keeping only the full cape in poor condition.

With Oropo's usual spiel with the "as a friend" and managing to convince Nora, despite the latter's distrust, the agreement between him and her was the following: He helps her find the Great Goddess (if the twins fail to find her) if he ever manages to take the Eliacube and the Dofus (explaining how he had entered Oma Island by passing the protective barriers without difficulty, Nora had to give him the "key" to help him) and in exchange, the divinity will help the Twelvers by doing the work of the Gods absent from their post and may be able to help, in passing, Oropo and the surviving Eliotropes to solve their problem of life expectancy and infertility.

The meeting place was at the Inglorium ONCE the task of saving the Goddess was done and the Eliacube was recovered with Yugo's Dofus. The race against time was on, but did Nora know about Oropo's plan?

In the end, due to the strong bond between Efrim and the Great Goddess, the twins found her. Despite his status as a time traveler, Oropo was just another person they met on their way, but that doesn't mean the deal was canceled! Maybe the deal would have held if Oropo had survived, who knows?

Thanks for reading this long block of text on this theory which may contain errors! 🙇‍♂️

Strobe light warning for episode Oropo

As far as I know, I don't have any problems with photosensitivity, but I was watching Episode Oropo and one moment got so overwhelming with many flashing lights I had to look away and rest for a bit, so if you are a wakfu fan with photosensitivity issues then please be careful! Wakfu, especially this episode can have rapid light visuals but this one was too much.

Without spoilering much, it's near the last ten minutes of the special, when Oropo and Grougaloragran touch the eliacube and end up near space.

Feel free to boost!

THE ELIACUBE

I made the cube! It glows! Anyway..

Woe cube be apon ye

[kcheel]

"To crave answers is to be a slave to the mask"

[oxaeneas]

Genuine question but was it explained in the 3rd season how Oropo got out of the cube and out of the eliatrope dimension? Because a the end of the 2nd season Yugo left it with the eliatrope child, so I was kind of confused when rewatching the third season

It's Oropo, but I used an unused design that comes from Tchokun's page of Tumblr.
