Nox Tribute

Let's start the unscheduled video series! Let's start with introducing the first of 3 villains of a cartoon that I think is very nice! The cartoon is wakfu and I recommend it to everyone! Today we have Nox the villain of the first season! Wednesday we have Bane of Gotham, and then a new month ahead of us!
Good vision !

[@FarisAzriAswandi]

Not really sure it's 20 mins. Feels like he did go back in time. Unfortunately, he thought he went to the wrong time so he came back to the present and confused it with 20 mins. He might have used the gathered energy to go back to the past, then to the present, then finally tried to go back to the past. That's 2 full trips and the final one probably shows that not enough energy remained.

The sad thing is. There's a theory that it did actually work. Because in the scene where Yugo forced the Eliacube to activate, they teleport to a storm ridden plane with what appears to be Ogrest in the background. And from what is known of the events before Nox's family's death, it would coincide with the time where it happened since it was revealed that his family was killed by Ogrest's Chaos. But in the heat of the moment and the obsession with getting Yugo's wakfu, he teleported back to the present and lost all that wakfu from the going back and forth which is why he only had 20 minutes left in the machine.

It is far more likely that he wasn't crazy, but that (Quilby or Oropo) was talking to Nox through the Eliacube to manipulate him and they probably siphoned a lot of the collected wakfu to their separate dimension to facilitate their plans. I'm less inclined to believe that he was too deranged to notice he unknowingly blundered time magic than he was too naive or inexperienced with Eliotrope magic and tools to notice the siphon that hindered his ability to go back further.

[@PraetorianW0LF]

Nox's character is one of the best examples of incredible willpower! Force majeure, the toy of the gods, destroyed his life. But instead of just surrendering in the face of that which is higher than the mortal’s understanding, he, as a USUAL man, subjugated the power of the gods, defeated dragons and successfully fought with whole countries alone. At the same time, incredibly suffering all these years, but stubbornly moving towards his goal. Surprisingly, this character very clearly shows what the willpower of an ordinary person is capable of in a seemingly hopeless situation when the whole world and even the gods themselves are against you.

[@theirishrave6448]

_"Its terrifying, what hope does to a desperate man."_

[@rustkarl]

I love that line “I’ll try and do it right this time around” and “Because a part of me is dead and in the ground.” It fits Nox so well. And that through line of “If you could go back and fix your mistakes.” which I’m sure everyone has felt at some point in their lives. If only we could undo some terrible mistake. Which is what makes Nox so sympathetic. A mistake so terrible he might as well be dead if he didn’t have that desperate hope of making it right.

[@KHMDarkness]

Nox is easily one of my favorite villains in any show. He is just so well done! Having an interesting back story, a tragic past, a good reason for being who he is now and why he is doing what he has been doing for centuries. He even looks just so damn cool! And his logic was sound, too! It gave him the push to be able to do all of the horrific things he needed to do to have his spell work. And the best part? He technically WINS. Think about it. He beat everybody in the first season. He got all of the energy he could get for the cube, and his spell *actually works!* he proved everyone wrong and had his spell work! They said it would tear the universe apart, yet it didn’t! And yet... it only reversed time by 20 minutes. Centuries of collecting energy... for 20 minutes. And when he realized it, that his spell technically required more energy than he could ever hope to collect, that he had done such horrific things and forever be unable to undo them - which is, again, one reason why he was able to convince himself to do such things -, it broke him. So much so that he apologized, crying, and left to let himself die on the graves of his family... Nox has beaten everybody. He has overcome every battle, but he lost what mattered most. All of that makes Nox one of the best villains in any show. It is a shame that we won’t ever see him truly come back though. Like through a sort of redemption arc where he could try to make up for everything he has done, thinking it’s to make up for what he did for his family’s sake, and to be able to face them one day when he dies. That would have been interesting to see in the latest season of the show... God, I hope they make another season. >.>

[@ecthox-1mork909]

Stephen King: "Nightmares exist outside of logic, and there's little fun to be had in explanations; they're antithetical to the poetry of fear.” I think a similar logic applies to such tragedies as Nox's - the fact he can't redeem himself because of his death is what makes the sadness and heartbreak of it stay with one.

[@misein2466]

Now, remind me, how does that old saying go again? Ah, that's right. A man with nothing to lose has everything to gain. All it requires is willpower. With those two things, a man can accomplish anything. Armies will die, kings will fall, nations laid barren, mountains reduced to pebbles, and oceans left boiling in their wake. When left with nothing but a form of corrupted hope, a man will strive to get back the things that were lost to them, and not even gods will stand in their way. With patience and willpower, one can accomplish anything. Even strike fear into the hearts of the gods themselves. Be very careful if you choose to oppose them, for they have lost everything and are more than willing to make you share in their pain if only to make you understand their misery. Nox is a man literally out of time, who has lost everything, taken from him by the god's own arrogance, and he will either have his family back, or everything will burn. As he said himself, "The end of the world? Does it really matter anymore? If I succeed, no one will care because the world will have begun again. If I fail, I don't care whether this world survives or not.". He has lost everything that ever mattered to him, and he will sacrifice any and everything if only for an extra second of time with his family. Ironic and yet, poetic. A master of time itself, someone even the God of Time himself was beyond his skills, even someone as powerful as Nox can not barter with time. Funny, is it not. It is a lesson to treasure what precious seconds you have because nothing in this world or beyond will gain you an extra second of time. So, treasure these moments with your family and your loved ones because they will eventually pass, and you will be left with nothing to lose and everything to gain. Sadly, the only thing Nox ever gained was, despite all his power and skill, despite all the beings and people he laid to waste, the only extra thing he gained was regret and an even greater feeling of loss and despair. Treasure every moment on this earth, my friends, because nothing anyone has ever done, tried, or will do will ever give you more time.

That iron man like glowing hole in his chest is too deep, and in the final scene we see of him is his family's graves with his armor in a pile of dust. some of his scenes in his clock lair have wakfu being poored into his chest hole, he is basically a mummy kept walking around via magic and clockwork, thats part of the reason his movents are so jerky at times.

I usually dont like villains tbh but for Nox, he has an interesting backstory and his plan to see his family alive again has completely failed. I feel bad for Nox: taking people down, killing off lives, destroying nations, devastating countries, all that for 200+ years only to go back 20 minutes. If he had never found the Eliacube 200 years back, he'd have never done any of this catastrophy, meaning everyone would be living better but Yugo, Ruel, Alibert, Evangeline, Amelia, Adamai and Dally would have never met Yugo too, felt bad for Nox. Didn't even think he would see him having tears running down, made him sad too. Thinking that the path of destruction Nox created would never be repaired.

Nox must be one of the best villans ever, he's sympathetic but clearly driven insane by his pursuits of happiness in the form of the eliacube. Although I find it's weird they treat him as dead in season 3. I always cry when Nox teleports away in that last episode. He just wanted to be with his family because he was so obsessed with the power of the cube that he neglected them.

[@ecthox-1mork909]

Yeah. Nox's final scene genuinely makes me cry for him. And I find it really amazing that there was so much death and tragedy in the final battle against Nox, but at the end of it it was truly the antagonist who garnered the most pity of all. As for Nox being dead, that was more or less confirmed with a shot in the Season 1 finale's end credits, and I can't see him doing anything else but die after the tragic end to his time-rewind quest.

I think the music fits perfectly for him as he doesn't accept that he lost his family forever and thinks of going back in time to be with them and when the song ends it truly is over as he realizes that everything he has done was for nothing his plans of going back in time to be with his family failed and only sent him back 20 minutes realizing that everything was for nothing.

[@ebrannock8139]

I'll be honest I watched Wakfu because of this character. I saw the first episode and the second he appeared on screen and started talking I got hooked. It's been a few years and most of the details of the show have slipped from my mind but not Nox. He deserves way more credit in pop culture.

[@NattyNuke]

By far the absolute best character in anything I’ve seen beside Red Dead Redemption. Noximillion truly did not deserve what happened to him. At the end of season one, it was evident that he really didn’t care if everything lived or died, if it worked, his life was perfect again, if it failed, the suffering ends.

The hero and the villain are equal in their reason for fighting. Nox lost everything he cares about and is trying to get it back. Yugo in turn is trying to preserve everything he cares about. That is one of the reasons why Nox is such a great villain.

He maybe could've won if he had aimed even higher. The Sadida tree wasn't enough, but maybe with the Dofus Ogrest had at the time, or reuniting the dragon ones, he could've gone back more than 20 minutes.

[@The_Court_Poet]

@@fernandorivera4719 The thing is. There's a theory that it did actually work. Because in the scene where Yugo forced the Eliacube to activate, they teleport to a storm ridden plane with what appears to be Ogrest in the background. And from what is known of the events before Nox's family's death, it would coincide with the time where it happened since it was revealed that his family was killed by Ogrest's Chaos. But in the heat of the moment and the obsession with getting Yugo's wakfu, he teleported back to the present and lost all that wakfu from the going back and forth which is why he only had 20 minutes.

when the villain you introduce in Episode 1 is more menacing and *real* than every other threat in the series combined. I've got no idea who wrote what parts of what (this was all based on a game so there are probably a LOT of writers involved in the body of work, likely even several layers of them on specific parts) but whomever was responsible for season1 and the content it was based on was either far more skilled or simply not toiling away at their daily grind adding on fluff content to sell merch. I'd compare him to the other villains but quite frankly *I do not remember their names* because there just wasn't enough character behind the plot device to attach a name too.

Very nice video. :) :) I love the choice of song - I'd never heard about 'Wakfu', but having just now at the vid's end looked up Nox's story on Wikipedia, it seems appropriate to me that he'd have a song like this. Melancholic, about denying the overwhelming belief that things are over and done, and sounding to me when I watched the vid more like it was meant for a near-broken hero struggling against impossible odds than for a psychopath. :) :) This vid certainly has a lot of action sequences, and I love the way the fast-cut ones have so much colourful animated action and content crammed into them. :) :) I love how Nox switches from those unsettlingly saucer-wide robot eyes to angry eyes, and the clips where he jutters like a rusting machine or where he twitches madly like at 2:19, really do give me the impression that he's insane. :) Once again, you've managed to create a Villainous Breakdown in the vid's narrative, with the footage of Nox getting frustrated in front of the cube and seeming to scream at it - true to the song's hero-vibes, that clip's combination with "Don't get caught up in yourself" really makes it seem like that's Nox facing his breaking point and finding his resolve again, with how the footage of him using his powers and fighting follows. And, knowing his backstory, I rather love how this vid ends with him atop the cog-pile (I'm assuming that's probably the moment he discovered he could only go back in time twenty minutes), and the way his damaged face's white-cracked, glassy look around the eye makes it look like he's crying. :) :) I wouldn't have minded some footage of his backstory appearance though, in spite of its relevance to his quest and the song.

One thing that always bothers me about those "sympathetic villains" that have this nobles goals is that i never get why they dont talk to the others people of their worlds and explain to them what they are doing. In many cases that would solve a lot of their problems. But in Nox case i get why - because he literally wants to destroy everything for a chance that all is good again in the end. Its just a complettly bonkers plan that can work but is far to instable to convince others.
