A Wakfu manga webtoon will be arriving AFTER Season 4!

Today, the Waven forum of Ankama, have announced that after Wakfu’s season 4 (that will start on February 9th), there will be a manga webtoon arriving AFTER the fourth season!

Here is the full translation:

“The most hungry and motivated will continue the adventure and keep on looking forward after season 4 (no, no you’re not dreaming!) to a manga webtoon. The manga webtoon will be available on Friday April the 19th which will have an episode each week!“

We have no idea what the manga webtoon will be about but we do know that it will take place after the events of season 4 so look forward to April the 19th!! 💖💖

I'm actually quite proud of Armand right now. Openly admitting to Amalia the reason their relationship was always strained was because he'd always been jealous of her and her relationship with their father is such a great character moment for him.

One thing season 4 is definitely delivering is some much needed depth and exploration of the Sadida Royal family. And I find myself fascinated (not only because Amalia is my favourite character and I have a soft spot for her people).

Personally, Armand is a character I have a lot of trouble having a clear stance on. I don't hate him, and it's true his motives become clear and even understandable once you give them some thought, it's just that Ankama does a wonderful job at making him both outwardly dislikable given his abrasive personality and some of his most questionable actions.

For example, season 3 Armand and season 4 Armand are almost like night and day. Maybe it is indeed that his new role as king has forced him to be more responsible and emotionally mature, but the vibes between L'assamblée and Falling Down are completely different.

In season 3 he just oozed contempt for his sister, and his actions towards her reeked of ulterior motives. The fact that Aurora has been described as manipulative (even her hairstyle is meant to hint at her true nature) and was purposely placed in between the two siblings as a visual nod to how she's keeping them apart doesn't help matters.

Which is another factor to take into account: Aurora's character and the role she plays in the siblings' deteriorating bond.

Even if so far she seems to genuinely love Armand, I really can't bring myself to trust Aurora. Not only because of all the behind-the-scenes facts I already mentioned, but because her actions are just sketchy and clearly veered to the betterment of the Osamodas rather than the Sadida.

First of all, her contempt for Amalia is genuine and she legitimately seems to be planning to send her away to keep her from interfering with her plans. After all, this is literally what she had to say about her sister-in-law:

"Ne vous en faîtes pas mon prince, nous finirons bien par redresser cette mauvaise herbe."

Translation: "Don't worry, my prince, we'll get this weed straightened out in the end."

(I haven't watched the English dub, so my apologies if the translation doesn't match the official version).

There's also the fact that, despite being the new Sadida Queen, her intentions in season 3 clearly laid in the benefit of her own kingdom, the Osamodas. Such is reflected in her choice of suitors for Amalia:

She intended for Amalia to marry Ashdur, her own cousin, thus, strengthening the Osamodas' hold over Sadida politics. In fact, it becomes quite clear Aurora's choice in suitors, only supported by Amalia implying back then her sister-in-law had already tried the same thing with her brothers, was much less about the future of the Sadida Kingdom and more about the Osamodas' sake.

After all, while arranged marriages between royal families isn't anything new, usually the sensible and even most strategic thing to do is for rulers to"spread" their children and marry them into different families around the world. That is exactly what Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabela of Castile did with their own children, they married them off to the royal families of England, Portugal, and Austria.

With that in mind, having both Sheran Sharm children marry Osamodas royalty just seems dumb, doesn't it? It all comes to show Aurora is more concerned over solidifying her power over the Sadida Kingdom than its actual well-being.

Which is why I'm still going to keep my guard up regarding her character until the season ends. After all, we still have 9 more episodes where everything can go up in flames.

But going back to Armand, even though he is in love with his wife, his treatment of Amalia in L'assamblée is leagues better than it was in season 3. Unlike most of his appearances and his interactions with his sister, where he kept treating her like a child who didn't know any better (what she just so happened to accuse him of when presented with Ashtur, as a matter of fact), here not only does he finally open up to his sister about his insecurities and his reasoning for his behaviour towards her, but he offers her support in the wake of their father's passing and even invites her to attend the assembly with him.

He is entrusting her with responsibilities befitting a queen, not a child.

Their relationship is finally healing.

As I said earlier, despite the undeniable depth behind his character, it's difficult to really side with Armand in plenty of occasions. Not only because of his difficult personality and flaws, but because it is so much easier to sympathise with Amalia.

And I'm not talking exclusively about the fact that, as one of the main characters, we've been by her side throughout everything, witnessing her true selfless, responsible, and brave self, but the fact that her position within her own family certainly tugs at our heartstrings.

Amalia is the youngest sibling, the princess. For all the sheltering and privileges that can get her, it also became her gilded cage. And for the most part, not even her family was a safe haven.

Queen Sheran Sharm died when Amalia was probably still a kid, whereas Armand was most likely already a teenager. As King Oakheart revealed back when he explained to Amalia it had been Armand who insisted they let her go, the queen's death shook their entire family, making the king and prince unintentionally turn their backs on Amalia during a time she needed as much affection as possible. And so, her royal duties became stifling, her royal upbringing unbearable. Thus is the reason for her wanderlust.

And then we have Armand's reason for not always being fair to her: jealousy. He resented her for being Oakheart's favourite, despite constantly going off to adventures while he remained in the kingdom by his side. Now, as I said, this was a great character moment for Armand, one that also belies his character development. However, it doesn't change the fact that, while easier to relate and sympathise with him, we still sympathise with Amalia more or have been doing so for far longer because we knew the effect this had had on her.

We all have been someone's scapegoat to their frustrations with a third person, we have all been treated unfairly by someone who, for whatever reason, couldn't solve their own issues with the person they had problems with in the first place and took it out on us. This is the crux of Armand and Amalia's strained relationship: for years, Armand took his frustrations and insecurities out on Amalia instead of having an honest conversation with their father.

That's why it's easier to sympathise with Amalia, because we know that, deep down, for all her flaws, she was never at fault for how their relationship turned out. Because we can understand her frustration and pain when, even with their dying father, Armand still chose to listen to his wife over her and try to marry her off instead of being there for each other when they both needed most. As Amalia called him out for before leaving with Yugo, he still chose politics over family. Everything involving Armand and Aurora is about politics.

But now that they are at least beginning to rebuild their relationship, I sincerely hope things get better for them. Unless their original intentions back in 2017 have changed, I seriously fear Ankama will still use Aurora to complicate things further between these two.

Please, Ankama, I'm literally begging you. They're all the family they each have left, don't let their relationship be ruined forever.

Wakfu : some words from its creator

Today, Tot posted a tweet about Wakfu on X. He shares his vision for the series and talks about the upcoming webtoon.

I translated the tweet in English below but here's the link to Tot's post: https://twitter.com/Totankama/status/1768938315409994040

TRANSLATION FROM FRENCH below

Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you very much for your support. The last episodes of Wakfu Season 4 are now available on Okoo, and I thank you for watching them in such large numbers. Our partner is very pleased with the results, which allows us to consider the future with peace of mind. Your feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are delighted about it. For us, it's the most beautiful reward.

However, some of you have expressed disappointment, particularly regarding the narrative arc of Flopin and his grandfather, Madagaskane. You also want to know more about what happened to the gods.

Allow me to explain the follow-up about that and our narrative intentions.

Firstly, as you know, the Krosmoz universe is constantly evolving. Nothing is ever completely over. Each of our creations always offers you an adventure that concludes but leaves other questions unanswered.

This is somewhat our trademark and is closely linked to the number of media we are dealing with simultaneously. Let's take, for example, the Dofus movie. Joris' story ends, and the entire adventure unfolds from our hero's point of view. Who trapped Julith? This information isn't provided, as we've kept it for potential follow-ups and connections with other projects. It was a "key" piece of information, but it didn't prevent you from focusing on the journey of our little hero.

For Wakfu, we operate in the same way. During writing, I choose one hero's perspective, and it's their storyline that I will favour. I don't want to neglect the others (because I love them just as much), and some narrative arcs may be started and then picked up in other media. I understand this may be frustrating when you prefer one character over another and feel they're not sufficiently highlighted. During this season, I clearly favoured the Eliatropes and their family dynamic.

We can never know if what we offer in animation will have a sequel. I've already explained the reasons why. Consequently, narrative choices have to be made. Some might say, "In that case, don't start anything new". Honestly, that would be really sad, and the whole thing would have less scope.

You have to imagine the Krosmoz as a living, gestating organism. Just because you don't have all your answers now doesn't mean they won't arrive soon or very soon.

In concrete terms, the webtoon/manga "The Great Wave" will allow you to reunite with Yugo and Amalia a few months after the end of Season 4.

Flopin and Madagaskane have a story in development. We've opened a door for these two characters with the idea of ​​creating a beautiful series focusing on the relationship between a grandfather and his grandson. We didn't "forget" them; on the contrary, we'll give them a lot of space.

The story of the Goddess, Rasha, and the gods is at the heart of Waven [t/n talking about the MMORG]. You'll learn more about them through the game. It's a topic we'll also address in a potential animated sequel. In fact, it's a storyline we've been working on for years and is one of the most important ones to come.

Regarding the Mechasms, however, there are no plans for them, for reasons I may explain in detail one day. This doesn't mean we won't see them again, but I'd like them to remain completely mysterious, with their intentions unfathomable.

I understand this may be frustrating for some because these projects take time to develop. But if you take a step back, you'll understand that it also allows us to position ourselves in the long term.

We work on the Krosmoz universe over time, with the means at our disposal, and depending on opportunities, we may be more or less ambitious.

Thanks to you and your presence, we're breaking viewship records, and the future looks bright. I hope we can move forward with amazing animation projects faster than we have done so far and quickly provide answers to your enthusiastic questions.

Thank you and see you soon, Tot.

[T/N: This is my translation of Tot's tweet. I'm not a native English speaker but, I hope you can understand what's going on.]

All the information's and videos we have about the Japanese dub of Wakfu

Beware this a long post, this post is for regrouping all that we know about this dub as it is currently lost.

(This post took me way longer to write than I thought all thanks to me accidentally finding a lot of the voices actors)

If you ever find more information's or even videos of it please tell me! I will add all of it to this post.

The dub was originally announced in 2017 and started airing on July 23 of the same year. It aired on the paid channel DisneyXD. Only the first season was ever dubbed.

For years the dub was available to watch on the channel and has been re-aired a few time during the years. In 2021 DisneyXD Japan got finally terminated following all of the other channels around the world which means that the Japanese dub of Wakfu was now impossible to find anywhere.

TRAILER

Here's the official trailer posted on Twitter:

This trailer is also available on Youtube but it's region locked, you can only watch it if your in Japan (or if have a VPN).

VOICE ACTORS

Starting "small" but here are all the confirmed voice actors that we know of, most of them were either added to the Japanese Wikipedia page of Wakfu or announced their roles on social medias!

A lot of the voice actors have announced their roles which I think is really nice (but the amount of tweets I had to translate was not).

(There are two VA's here that I'm not sure if I translated their name correctly as I couldn't find more information about them, this why the two ("?") have next to their name).

Tristepin is voiced by Koji Takahashi (Announcement)

Ruel is voiced by Urayama Jin

Evangelyne is voiced Yuri Noguchi (Announcement)

Nox is voiced by Nobuo Tobita

We also have audio for Vampyro and Ombrage but I can't find who their VAs are and I'm having a hard time at recognizing the voices:(

For the characters we do not have audio for:

Rubilax is voiced by Taiki Yamashita (Announcement)

Grougaloragran is voiced by Shiro Go

Adamai is voiced by Etsuko Tsujino(?). (Announcement)

OPENING

The opening was originally posted in 2017 on Twitter and not long after on Youtube but as you can see if you clicked on both links, one got deleted and the other got copyright strike.

The singer of the opening is credited as "URAN" in the credits

ALL VIDEOS WE HAVE

While full episodes were never shared online we have some clips of the dub still available.

All of them have the original french voices playing first and after the Japanese dub is played (they all are from the same channel this is why).

The Brotherhood of the Tofu meets Vampyro (and Ombrage)

Ruel meets Evangelyne and Amalia (This one is only on their website for some reasons)

Grougaloragran meet Nox

The end of episode 1

And this is sadly all we currently have about the dub.

Cool new Wakfu stuff on arrival.

[cocogum]

“The Great Wave” wakfu manga FINALLY has a summary :

Back then, it didn’t show up but now that we’re closer to the date episode 0 drops (April 14), they finally revealed what the first volume of the manga will be about.

Here’s the translation :

“ Thanks to the will of the Sadidas and the Eliatropes, Toross Mordal and his army of Necromes were defeated. Amalia became queen of the Sadida Kingdom alongside her husband, Yugo, king of the Eliatropes. But just as life seems to be returning to normal, Yugo has increasingly disturbing visions and Aurora, the wife of Amalia's brother who died in battle, returns to the kingdom to claim the throne. ”

Alright so first of all, I’m loving the fact that Ankama labelled Yugo as Amalia’s husband cuz it just feels so nice to hear it again 💕💕

Second of all, these visions with Yugo better not be Toross or else I’m gonna throw hands at this crusty ass mummy.

AND THIRD OF ALL, i did not just read that Aurora would come back. Like I knew that we would see her again but did she really just have THE BALLS to come back?? To a land that she fled??? During the middle of a WAR that could have WIPED THE ENTIRE RACE SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO LEAD if they would have lost???

What is she trying to prove here??? Does she really think the sadidas and eliatropes are gonna welcome her with open arms and pretend she didn’t just do shit during the fight and left like a little bitch???

Omg the nerve of that hoe.

She’s trying to take back the throne?????? Gurl according to who??? Why are u coming back???? Did ur daddy also tell you to do that??? You just listen to ur daddy and never actually act like a woman with a brain???

I hope she gets jumped. I hope she gets spit on. No seriously I hope that wave annihilates her so she can be part of Yugo’s body count.

Cuz honestly who is brain-dead enough to come back to a kingdom who they fled during the middle of a war and have the audacity to claim that you will take it back from the people who saved it and almost lost their lives for it???

Is she an actual bimbo???

Wait no, not even bimbos would do this shit.

She’s just a trophy wife omg….

She’s so constipated, I have literally never hated a character like this in my life.

She’s trying to take away what belongs to Amalia like bitch who tf asked you to come back???? Also what makes you think people WANT you to come back??

How can you convince the people to come to your side when you’re known as the coward queen who didn’t do shit and left??? How can you convince them when you’re competing against a literal god-king who possesses artifacts that can surpass the gods such as the six eliatrope dofus AND the Eliasphere, and a productive queen who’s already doing so much and has been loved by her people since she was fucking born??

I’m far confident to say that the people would rather have a deity and a heroine than literal garbage.

TOT WHEN I CATCH YOU TOT

Don't give me any false hopes..

[loryn-art]

Aw, your little Qilby is so adorable. You mentioned you headcanon that the goddess named him after the cutest thing she knew because he was so precious. Do you think that the goddess favors him at all, or do you think he’s just particularly attached to his mother compared to his siblings? In the show he’s clearly the closest to her out of all the Eliatropes we’ve met.

-For you, my son, all the flowers of the world.

Hey,

This is a very tricky question ! Mostly because Qilby is (for me) one of the most complex character in the story.

I've seen a post somewhere, where it was noticed that Qilby was the only one to call the Goddess Eliatrope simply... Mom. When all his siblings are calling her "Mother" or other appellations that always show much respect and reminds who she is. I wouldn't say he's particularly close to her (Even if you can see him acting like a freaking child sometimes, but this is only by pure interest in my opinion) but he indeed has a peculiar link with her, as he knows her for so long he doesn't really care about her status, and consider her as a real "person".

Ironically, Qilby is the only one acting like a real child of hers, despite the fact that he is depicted as someone who doesn't care about his family anymore. (But this isn't true, riiight ?)

And for the Goddess, I can't believe she has any favorite child. My thoughts are she loves them equally, dragons or Eliatropes. (I hope I understood your question right ^^,)

(And now I really want to draw an AU where all the Eliatropes are silently gathering around an offering table and Qilby comes in, goes in the kitchen, comes back and : MMMOOMMM THERE'S NO MILK IN THE FRIDGE-

And everyone is so OFFENDED.)
