Nox (Wakfu) - Villain Review #52

[@durandol]

Nox is a very interesting character, and I agree it's criminal how uninvolved he was in the story at large. But the most interesting thing about him, at least to me, is how he is one of the few villains that, technically, succeeds.

[@marcopohl4875]

collecting energy for 200 years, only to go back 20 minutes, he really only succeded on a technicality

[@tsunayoshisawada8062]

@@marcopohl4875 He still did win against Yugo, managed a feat that nobody has ever managed, and "kill" the same character twice in a single episode. Sure he was way short of his goals, but he did go back in time and win every battle he's had.

[@TrueBladeSoul]

@@tsunayoshisawada8062 fun fact apparently the god of time in wakfu at the peak of their power could travel back in times five minutes at most

[@mrcrackfish0]

@@TrueBladeSoul that's why he wanted eliacube to help him,

[@gentlenoob2576]

It breaks my heart to the fullest on how he doesn’t realize it

[@Gearz-365]

Being one who likes mechanical clocks and steampunk based stuff, I love how Nox is based around mechanical things and how he's even called "Nox the Clockmaker". I find him amazing!

[@slynthehedgehog8061]

It's actually because he is a clockmaker, his whole journey started as a humble clockmaker who found a weird cube.

[@shadefelblade]

The clock thing also involves the fact he brcame a xelor, which use time magic to aid in his goals

[@BlackWaltz101]

He does have a episode all to himself...or special that shows his origins and fall to madness. When you learn of the Cube's origins it becomes a lot more sinister when you see the next big villian.

[@Traikersify]

in the english version he doesn't seems as insane as the french version. Watch it in french!

[@jayfilms99]

That’s what I hear, everyone says the French version is much better

[@dreamslove9851]

The German version is also not bad

[@just_somedude5866]

@@dreamslove9851 the Spanish version is on point in my opinion

[@miggyboy3786]

I actually recommend watching the original French dub with English sub.

[@AristasTheMonsterHunter]

The Italian one is good af

[@GamblingDedicated]

About Nox's clocks. Is not a small detail, he's a Xelor, that's the entire thing of that class. Still 10/10 review.

[@jayfilms99]

Thanks for the explanation, glad you enjoyed

[@ninearc.7375]

Nox basically wins the fight against Gougaloragran (pronounced Gru-gol-or-ah-gran), but Grougal uses the last of his Wakfu to make an Astral Projection telling the Brotherhood of the Tofu to go protect the Tree of Life but Nox lost all of Grougal's Wakfu in the process...? So essentially he won, but at the cost of losing loads of Wakfu from the Eliacube (pronounced Eel-ee-ah-cueb).

[@thorveim1174]

yup. he won the fight, but failed in his goal of Harvesting the dragon's wakfu, leading to the combat being a net loss for his goal as he had to use quite a lot of Wakfu to win

[@diegocantu9853]

2:22 *Nox Wakfu hunts in a nutshell* Anyways, this show deserves more attention and thank you

[@HenriqueLSilva]

I mean even the fact he fails shows everyone how his plan was actually sound. He killed everyone but the MC, destroyed the tree, but the moment he came back in time and changed the future, it suddenly had never happened. He really is the embodiment of the phrase "what if you could go back in time and fix your mistakes?"

[@thorveim1174]

Yup. he was right that if he succeeded all his evils would be erased and no one would even remember anything apart from him. Too bad for him (and everyone) that in the end, 200 years of harvested wakfu could only allow him to go back a measly 20 minutes...

[@guildardaze1438]

a better thing. In french we really feel the madness of nox. As he speaks his voice changes. Going faster and slower. Getting high pitched at times and just alternating speed. Mixed with the ragged sounds of clocks in the background from his inventions. It as a unique effect. Its hard to tell if hes changing because hes unhinged or if its his inventions.

[@Happy_Nacho_Mystery]

Groo galora gran. And yes. Nox is such an incredible villain.

[@nomadskout9862]

I love wakfu, Nox is my favorite character on the show. Can you do Qilby and Oropo for your villain review next?

[@jayfilms99]

I'll add them to my list

[@marcopohl4875]

I never fully understood Quilby, aside from being a nihilist. I guess after someone as human as Nox, throwing out someone as Alien as Quilby just confused me. It would be nice to see more of him

[@Syphrilyn]

@@marcopohl4875 Qilby is immortal and got trapped into a white void so basically he lost all sense of morals since he is kinda a god compared to others. A quick little summary.

[@dwight3555]

@@marcopohl4875 Qilby was basically cursed and no one knows why. The 12 first eliatropes and dragons always come back to life when they die because their energy goes back into the Dofus (the egg) they were born from, but in the process they forget all their memories. Qilby and his sister Shinonome don't forget, and after thousands of years of remembering everything and seeing his people die countless times, after learning every square meter of his planet, Qilby felt trapped and started to become insane. To force his people to explore the universe with him, Qilby started a war with a more powerful race by stealing one of their most precious artifacts, and him and his people fled and settled on another planet after a while. This new-found peace lasted for some time, but Qilby once again started to feel trapped and provoked yet another war, except this time his role was discovered and to punish him Yugo trapped him in the white dimension from which no one can escape without the Eliacube (killing Qilby would serve no purpose since he'd be reborn, so he had to be locked up). Fast forward to Wakfu S2, Yugo and Adamai unknowingly set him free, and Qilby after realizing what happened wants to go back to exploring the universe with his people. He doesn't want to settle anywhere because he knows he'll end up crazy, so he needs regular new doses of discovery which is also why he's such a scientist/researcher who conserves extinct species in his lab.

[@johnderat2652]

Wow, great review! You definitely deserve more subs man. And I totally agree, Nox is so awesome, cool, and you just feel so bad for him. But, personally, I felt even sadder for Qilby in Season 2. And btw, will you make a review on him as well? His reasons might not all be justified (he did some pretty awful stuff), but I can't do anything else than adore him and feel bad for him just because of all the tragedy he suffered through. Oh and Julith as well! She's the antagonist of the Dofus movie. Since it's a movie, of course she doesn't get as much development, but she's still a pretty good villain overall, the creator himself (ToT he's called) even said she's his favorite haha I'm a big Wakfu fan and I know a lot about the lore, so if you need me for some info or something if you do make these reviews, just message me here Oh and one more thing, the English dub fricking SUCKS. I knew it was bad, but wow, the voice actor who voiced Nox in english is so bad he almost ruined his character lmao

[@jayfilms99]

I'll definitely get to Qilby eventually, glad you enjoyed the review. I gotta get off the English dub.

[@burntblueberrywaffles]

Great review! I just wish you watched the french dub instead of the English one. In the original, Nox comes off as less cocky and more... batshit insane (which makes total sense since he’s spent 200 years obsessing over his objective)

[@ItzArmadillo]

"if i succed, none will remember. if i fail it wouldn't have mattered"

[@thorveim1174]

note: in the original french dub, Nox is all BUT calm and collected, instead sounding like an insane, unstable maniac while still at the same time still clearly being intelligent, often cackling in amusement even as he is getting stomped. Add that to his sometime eerie, mechanical movements, and its VERY clear that he may not have lost his wits, but his sanity however is long gone.

[@RhinestoneXD]

That last scene with Nox is so god tier.

[@VANhasVOICE]

Ooooh yeah, Noximillien... now that was a dopeass villain.Tragic story. Much drama. Much awesomeness. And his fate was daaaaaaaamn great.

[@RaynbowistLaney]

Could you do Qulby from Wakfu Season 2 as well? Would love to see it!

[@jayfilms99]

Of course, I’ll add them to my list

[@francischarron4218]

Nox is a xellor a species of time mage, it would make sense that he use clocks in is design

[@theancestor2040]

Actually if you look in other episodes you can see him following our main character

[@Colby_Cheese]

The pronunciation is "Gru-galore-a-gran".

[@jayfilms99]

^very helpful

[@حنشالبارقي]

Hey man you are so good but how about you make Review for vergil from DMC and I hope to see you Channel gets bigger

[@jayfilms99]

I’ll definitely add him to the list! I appreciate it!

[@JP-kp6xv]

He was my favorite character and man, I wanted to see much more of him

[@marcopohl4875]

One of my all time faves!

[@lextavactchi]

well you can also say it as: Grugaloragran easy to say (In my country) or: Grogaloragan

[@koolboi6610]

GRU-GAH-LOR-I-GRAN Your welcome.

[@JockenN]

That dragon's name takes a bit of getting used to for sure :P I haven't watched the English dub (Watch it in french) so I don't know how they say his name in English, but in French it's Groo-ga-loo-ra-gran.

[@vivtorrodriguez5616]

Please, make more videos about wakfu.

[@naneizar4781]

Did you just miss pronounce eliacube

Nox is a great villain but the villain who’d probably give him the most competition is Qilby.

God i hate the use of the english version here. I usually prefer the english version of things but here, french is the true experience

[@ihaveagun3183]

@Hioozuma I feel like him just losing his family makes his voice being emotionless make sense. I just think I'm sticking with the English dub. (But it's Dally's voice that's really the bad apple)

[@thorveim1174]

@@ihaveagun3183 I really prefer french nox. Here he just sounds like a cold, emotionless scientist, while the french one... well its very clear that his sanity is LONG gone, leaving him an unstable maniac even though he remains as smart as he ever was.
