DJMAX Characters and Lore

Brief summary of DJMAX characters/mascots: who they are, where they come from, and what role they play in the story

Introduction

DJMAX is a Korean rhythm game franchise that’s been around since 2004. Over the years, DJMAX has accumulated plenty of characters/mascots, as a long-running franchise usually does, the stories of which are usually told through BGAs - in-game videos (the ones you turn off to focus on your SC pattern). Neowiz has been telling the story of the franchise’s characters ever since RESPECT, with one of the in-game videos featuring someone praying to the franchise’s first mascot for the series to come back from the dead. But a few seasons ago, Neowiz became even more assertive about this angle of the game, heavily featuring even the (arguably) minor characters in promotional art and bringing back characters that have been missing for over 15 years. With the release of Expansion V, the developers have clearly expressed that they're certainly interested in adding at least some narrative elements to RESPECT. As time went on, the team decided to tackle new ways to tell the game's story: during the announcement stream for Verse 2, DumpingLIFE said that he feels like there are things that are difficult to express through BGA and skins alone, hence the addition of a new "Story" feature.

Doubtless, while reading a new season announcement or watching the update PV, you have many times wondered to yourself: okay, I know the blonde girl and the white girl, but who the hell is everyone else, what do they do, and where do they even come from? Personally familiarizing yourself with the subject matter would require going back decades (not literally though) to play the old DJMAX games (some of which you can’t even play anymore). While that is very noble, I doubt many people are willing to go to such extremes. Hence, this guide, the task of which is to provide general information on the characters appearing in DJMAX RESPECT.

I am by no means a trailblazer here: this guide wouldn't exist without posts or comments from other fans in places such as YouTube or Reddit, and if it were not for the Korean community, we would likely know nothing at all.

Also, I'm not really sure if I have to say this all things considered, but starting halfway through, there will be serious spoilers for story bits all the way up to the latest expansion at the moment, Liberty. If you're very involved in the "story" but haven't played these tracks yet, you're better off not reading this guide.


Scrolling down means you consent to getting slurped. Enjoy the guide.

El/E.L./Elle

El/E.L./Elle (엘) is the first proper character of the DJMAX franchise and its first mascot. She first appeared in the game that started it all, DJMAX Online (2005), in the track “Ask to Wind ~Live ver.~” (바람에게 부탁해 Live Mix). There’s not much lore about her besides what you’re perfectly capable of understanding yourself: she’s a musician, she sings in a group called called Yellow Bear Band (apparently born from wordplay based on the name of one of the song’s creators - sorry I’m not Korean and I can’t personally check this).
El also appears in “Your Own Miracle”, the opening theme for DJMAX Portable 2, along with everyone else, except she’s the only one who got to keep her actual name as E.L. in the BGA sequence where they’re all named.

It didn’t take much time for El to become the mascot of the series. Portable came out for the PSP in 2006, featuring El on the cover. It was the same thing for Portable 2, released in 2007, except there, she's depicted as she appears in “Your Own Miracle”.
Unfortunately for El, she started disappearing from DJMAX cover art after that. While regional re-releases like DJMAX Portable: Hot Tunes still saw her on the cover, Black Square (2008) and Portable 3 (2010) featured entirely different characters.

The series “died” along with El soon after Portable 3 came out. In pre-release statements, RESPECT was described as a new page in the franchise’s history as they aim to reboot it after 7 years, with developers promising that the new entry will allow the series to “take off again”. It only makes sense, then, that El appears again in the two BGA that kick off RESPECT’s story and revives the franchise by sacrificing herself.

Play

Play (플레이) is a character whose role in the franchise is difficult to describe. She is not the second character, nor the second mascot, and she doesn’t even appear in the DJMAX games until RESPECT. The circumstances of her creation and the role she ends up playing in RESPECT, however, are enough to make me feel like it’s important to discuss her second.

Her first appearance in DJMAX is in RESPECT’s "Glory Day"/"BlackCat" BGA. She visits the Game Graveyard and carries out a ritual at El’s grave with the goal of most likely resurrecting the franchise.
It does seem like (at least initially) Neowiz had a slightly bigger role for Play in mind. Korean fans who acquired the DRIVE Compilation Album Universe ID Card Pack reported that Play’s fictional ID has March 10th 2005 as her date of birth - indeed, that is when DJMAX Online left beta and released officially. She also plays a fairly major role in defeating Diein while saving the lives of her friends, like a true MC. With these things in mind, it seems plausible to me that Play is a mascot symbolizing the franchise’s history and the player as part of said history in equal measure. We are Play, constantly hanging out with Clear and Fail as we play, and we can only hope there’s as little Fail as possible. Those who keep up with DJMAX Seasons, and their UI Themes in particular, know that most conversations unfolding on the different screens take place from Play's point of view, only proving the fact that Play is the player's stand-in.

Clear & Fail

Clear/클리어 and Fail/페일 (or El Clear and El Fail, to be more precise) are the main mascots of RESPECT. They are absolutely everywhere - on the game’s cover in Steam, on most of the decals and customizable UI elements.

Their story is directly related to El’s. When Play visits the location ominously called “Game Graveyard” and arranges a small ritual to start praying for the franchise to come back, lightning strikes, cracks run through the statue adorning El’s grave and she comes alive… as a zombie. She is, however, saved, after which, two mutually exclusive things happen: in “Glory Day”, El turns into the blonde girl known as Clear (El Clear/ to be precise). Her left arm is partially zombified, though. In “BlackCat”, El turns into Fail (El Fail).

Clear and Fail’s chemistry in a nutshell is the manzai duo. When Fail the dummy does something stupid or bad, Clear is always there to clear it up as the “straight man”. Symbolically, they represent your two main companions on the road to a max combo. Sometimes you Clear, sometimes… More importantly, they’re supposed to represent good and bad. Clear’s character profile on the now inaccessible Neowiz MUCA website even explained that her zombified hand is a representation of the little bad parts that still remain in RESPECT, like glitches and bugs. This, of course, partially foreshadows how the story will develop in Extension V.
Clear’s main gimmick is her cross-shaped sword of light and her zombified arm that has something really messed up inside as the “Boom!” BGA shows us.

While I described Fail as representing evil (or the evil side of… something, DJMAX?), I most certainly don’t mean to sound like she’s the villain. She sometimes is, but the scale she operates on is too small. She’s more like the idiot who likes to cause trouble and inadvertently causes the kind of trouble that threatens the world. Her main gimmick is, as you might expect, the cross-shaped (more of an X, though, in line with her symbolism) sword of darkness and the possessed eye that lets her either fire a huge laser or partially transform into an evil creature similar to the creature from “Boom!”, as shown in “Daydream”.

Lena

Lena (레나) was originally the mascot of a different series.
To talk about her means to talk about this series, that is, TAPSONIC, the DJMAX spinoff series. As the sales of DJMAX games were dropping with every new entry, Neowiz decided to try a different strategy and tap into multiple different avenues at the same time. The first TAPSONIC game released in 2011 for Android and iOS devices marked the company’s first return to mobile games in many years. As you might expect from a global free mobile game with fairly non-complex gameplay, the reception was positive. This inspired Neowiz to invest more and more into mobile rhythm games, seemingly inspired by the more narrative-heavy titles like Cytus and IDOLM@STER.

Lena hails from TAPSONIC BOLD, the final TAPSONIC game released in 2018 (and killed just a few weeks ago as of writing). Within the story of TAPSONIC BOLD, she is a former idol who had to end her career due to an injury caused by a coach who just did not stop pushing her. After being hounded out of her dream by both trainer and fans alike, Lena starts aiding the protagonist, who is the manager of the idol group HIGHTEEN (yes, their song is in RESPECT).

Initially, she was represented by only two songs - “Tok! Tok! Tok!” and “To Be with You” (너랑 있으면). Starting with Extension II, she’s been becoming more prominent, however. “Daydream”’s BGA tells the TAPSONIC BOLD story of Lena, but halfway through, something outstanding happens, as Clear and Fail show up to take her away to the DJMAX world. There, she is cured of her injury and performs on stage. Apparently, the performance is so successful that she gets enough money and fame to start her own talent agency.

First thing she does is, naturally, scout some talent. That is exactly what she does in Extension III’s “Tic! Tac! Toe!”, a track that became incredibly famous among Koreans after a female college student shouted it out in a video filmed on campus. The BGA of this track revolves around Clear and Fail undergoing idol training after signing to Lena’s agency.

Perhaps as a nod to such extreme real world popularity, Lena’s next appearance in Extension IV’s “DIE IN” has her celebrating the construction of a tower housing her talent agency. Unfortunately, the celebration is interrupted by a certain someone who wrecks the entire tower. They are brought under control, however, as Lena makes them sign a contract and join their agency.

Diein

Diein (다인) is retroactively the franchise’s second proper character and a current mascot. It wasn’t until a few years into RESPECT that we found out that’s the case, though… Diein was the series’s main villain(-like) character and the star of the Diein Saga (“Vertical Eclipse” > “Nightmare” > “LUV” > “DIEIN” > “glory MAX” > “Final Hour”). Currently, Diein’s role is making up for the mess caused at the end of the Diein Saga.

Diein first appears in DJMAX Portable 2’s “Nightmare” track. The story of “Nightmare” is fairly simple: there’s some sort of creepy angelic being out there with scary angelic cops everywhere that’s set its eyes on a girl (named An/Ahn Jiyoung by the way - another detail we found out only after RESPECT came out). However, Diein’s subordinate, an angel named Gaya, decides to stand up for the girl. He fights his way through Diein’s guards. Having reached his now former superior, Gaya cuts off his wings to cut his ties to Heaven, choosing the life of an ordinary human, then leaves with Jiyoung. Indeed - on top of losing a crush, Diein also lost a good friend.

Now, 20 seconds into the BGA of “Nightmare”, you should already start having questions.
“‘Six wings about “him”’? But that character looks like a girl.”
“Her clothes are a bit frilly, but the cleavage looks particularly unimpressive.”
Your questions are on point. Diein is kind of a mess. I don’t know what Neowiz was cooking, and judging by the fairly confusing statements put out by different developers, I don’t think they entirely know either. Diein is a celestial being - “Nightmare” tells us that much. As such, while Diein the heavenly being would likely not care for our human sensibilities, for us, it’s hard to tell whether Diein is supposed to be a boy or a girl. The artbook included in the limited edition of DJMAX Portable 2 has the character artist saying as much (second-hand information that I’ve been unfortunately unable to source): Diein is an angel with little regard for gender identity, not a male crossdresser, femboy, or anything of the sort.
The marketing side of the question is its own thing, however. Ever since bringing back Diein in Season 11, they’ve been dressing Diein in increasingly feminine outfits, culminating with a female swimsuit in Season 13. As of November 2023, the team still respected the original artist’s vision and used the word “asexual” to describe Diein (무성애, they probably meant that as in “sexless”, though). During the same stream, series producer Bexter adopted a truly Greek approach and essentially said that if it looks like a girl, then…
(for proof of this hilarious conversation, check out the 2023/11/30 stream at the 56 minute mark with subtitles if you don’t speak Korean).
Considering how Neowiz is kind of sending us mixed messages about what to make of Diein, I’ll be addressing Diein as “they” - I’m too hesitant to say “he” in light of what the illustrations for Season 14 and beyond may bring.
There are other examples of similar 'controversies': DJMAX previously featured a track with an BGA telling the story of a love between a boy and someone who looks like a boy - “Creator” from Clazziquai. 5 years after DJMAX, Beatmania will throw their characters for a loop as well, with the character artist of Todestrieb’s (a banging track, by the way) main character Rche admitting that the true answer as to the identity of Rche might “provoke the death drive” in some fans.

After “Nightmare”, Diein vanished. During a late-night shift at the office, someone at Neowiz realized that it’s possible to elaborate on what the hell’s going on in RESPECT, but it would require them to dig through the closet of old characters. RESPECT's Art director DumpingLIFE explained during a stream that there was no one in the game who had the aura and aesthetics to effectively pull off a villain.

So, 17 years later, Diein came back in “DIEIN”, the main story track of Extension IV and sequel to “Nightmare”. The BGA for this track is extremely story heavy: it develops the plot in a major way, brings back some old characters (not just Diein!), and explains a lot of what’s been going on in the story of RESPECT.
One day, Gaya and Jiyoung show up at Lena’s tower. As the RESPECT gang celebrates the construction of the tower, the two visitors start plot dumping about the events of “Nightmare” - which is exactly when Diein attacks, having felt the presence of the two people important to them, and wrecks the tower using powerful magic and their beast familiars. After the action-heavy sequence, it is revealed that Diein was orchestrating all the events that kicked off RESPECT: the resurrection of El, the creation of Clear and Fail, and the secret power sealed into their bodies.

We’ve seen the sequel, which means it’s time for the prequel that will tell us the story between Diein and Gaya. “Vertical Eclipse” from Extension IV does exactly that. The BGA tells the origin story of Diein: ostracized by other angels for having demonic horns, the depressed Diein willingly endures self-torture. Then, they are rescued by Gaya. The two escape, slaying many demons on their way. Eventually, Diein reaches a mysterious place with three dangerous creatures, presumably of demonic nature: a bird, a cat, and a snake. Diein tames the creatures, names them Judgment, Server, Typhos, and manages to waltz back into Heaven, with no one threatening them this time. This adds more gravity not just to the current situation, but “Nightmare” as well. As savior and saved, Diein and Gaya had a much more cordial relationship than simply superior and subordinate, and the loss of two valuable humans in one day must have hurt Diein deeply.

Continuing the Diein Saga, we have “LUV”, another track from Extension IV. It’s light on actual Diein content since Clear and Fail are more prominent in the BGA, but it does elaborate on the questions left over from “BlackCat” and “DIEIN”. After resurrecting El, it was Fail that Diein turned her into, with Clear being a byproduct of sorts born from El’s (now Fail’s) body. I think this explains why Fail looks more evil than usual at the end of “DIEIN” and hypes you up for the finale.

Diein Saga culminates with “glory MAX”, Extension V’s theme. The BGA picks up right where “DIEIN” ended. Fail, as Diein’s subordinate, starts fighting with Clear. The fight is initially going in her favor, until the NB Rangers’ robot appears and starts dealing out serious damage. This allows the protagonist of "Misty E’ra" to fire a cross-dimensional arrow. The attack knocks all the bad stuff out of Fail and makes her defect. As the three skirmish, Diein conjures up a huge sword and shoots it forward, seemingly trying to kill everyone, when Play runs forward and summons the now well-familiar golden crown to repel the sword and save everyone. Diein, defeated by this counter, is soaring through the air, falling down. This is when the cast shows up to rescue them - and hand them a paper bearing the name “Exclusive idol contract”.

“Final Hour” came out with Extension V. It’s a humorous BGA about the current activities of Diein. Lena made Diein work their butt off as an idol, presumably to pay for the damages. While Diein is on that idol grind in the lesson room, a portal appears, allowing a scientist lady with her robot servant to enter. This scientist lady is not a DJMAX character, but the Korean YouTuber Pochi Science. She makes very peculiar content, and DJMAX was not spared: provoked by the appearance of an unknown intruder, Diein’s familiars appear and initiate a fight, only to be transformed into idol girls after being shot with a ray gun. The BGA ends with the familiars and their master performing on stage to thunderous applause.

Diein (post-Liberty)

To no one's surprise, Diein still plays a major role in the story even after the Diein arc ends. Two BGAs revolve around them in Liberty 2.

The first one is "B!G-BANG CHALLENGE". The story told here is mostly whimsical, featuring Server (Diein's bird) seething at the fact that they have to be human idols and coming up with a potion that partially transforms her and the other minions back to their animal form. Before Pochi Science saves the day again, there's a slightly ominous moment where Lena has to stick the contract they signed right in Diein's face right before the latter resumes causing mayhem. Time will tell whether this is just a gag or if Diein is really holding back only because of the contract.

The next video is “Madness”. After Gaya and Lirulu are done with their boyband song and dance, Diein and the minions appear at the very end, framed in a slightly creepy way, with the red sunset and Lirulu appearing behind them. This track is the first one to receive a story as part of the DJMAX's new Story feature. You can unlock it by playing “Madness” (solo or online), but, to recap, it reveals that the BGA was an illusion that Lirulu showed the sleeping Diein. And its worst part is not that Lena Entertainment was taken over by Clear and Fail stand-ins, but that Lirulu is capable of submitting Gaya to his will, the latter being, if you recall, an important person to Diein.

Preiya & Camilia

Preiya (프레이야) and Camilia (카밀리아) appeared in DJMAX Online’s “Oblivion” BGA. They are twin sisters living in a mansion: the blonde Camilia and the pink-haired Preiya. There’s a man pouring blood on a blonde girl, who is presumably dying. After that, the BGA interjects illustrations depicting the twin sisters with photos of a mansion and poeticimagery of death, evoking a sense of entrapmen, dread, and melancholy, but nothing specific. That the two sisters have a very bad relationship is about all the information you can gleam from the video.

To know more, we have to delve into the doujins created by D-myo, the artist of “Oblivion”, or, rather, into information about these doujins online. In the “D-myotic 3 Oblivion” book, there’s a story about a man who encounters a blonde young woman bleeding to death in a field. After giving her some of his blood, he is able to preserve her life - but only temporary. Apparently, nearly dying isn’t a very good thing, so Camilia is now fated to turn into a doll unless she consistently gets enough blood, like a vampire. Some time later, Camilia stumbles upon a house - her own house. It’s revealed that the person who stabbed her in the first place was the sister, Preiya, who did it out of jealousy. The work ends with Preiya dreading Camilia's return to the mansion in her “true form”.

Like Diein, the twin sisters’ story was put in the freezer for over a decade. In 2014, the original artists behind “Oblivion” came back to produce “Obelisk”, a sort of musical sequel to that track for O2JAM. There was no story, at least originally. When “Obelisk” was added to RESPECT, the developers graciously provided it with a BGA light on the story, but heavy on the implications. This BGA depicts a blonde man - one extremely similar to the man from “Oblivion” (this is a somewhat controversial point to make) - acting all romantic with the twins. The imagery makes it clear that, having stepped in between them when their relationship was at its worst, he came to somehow control them, mentally or supernaturally. Either way, the guy looks like Lucifer, so it spells trouble.

In Extension V's "Peace Comes At a Price", it was revealed that, logically enough, they had fallen under Lirulu's mind control: in addition to now serving at his side, they were also cloned.

In Season 14's UI Theme, they appear as Play's maids. More on that in the next section, but suffice it to say that they're probably here as Lirulu's servants first and foremost.

Almost a decade later, the twins make a proper return as central characters in Kakera 2's "Kakera". They/their clones are essentially depicted as Lirulu's army, invading and capturing different DJMAX universes. Their clones have enhanced robotic limbs and, judging by the amount of them we see in the BGA, Lirulu's army can easily overwhelm any alternative universe.

Lirulu

Lirulu/Rerulu (리룰르) is the newest main character. Currently, there are at least two official ways of spelling his name, first appears in a Verse 2 BGA, the other appears in Season 14. I'll be going with the first one, but I'll try to be on top of my game to edit this section the moment the team decides to eliminate the uncertainty. Initially appearing in the BGA for RESPECT’s “quixotic”, as of Liberty (2024), he is the main bad guy of the second story arc that will be kicked off in 2025 with "Liberty 2/Kakera of Verse".
In “quixotic”, Lirulu, a dangerous demon (?), curses a knight to an eternal fight with illusory enemies. Since controlling illusions is his power, it’s possible he had something to do with the mansion from “Oblivion”. Keeping with “vision” as a theme, he is also capable of seeing into parallel universes. This is also the BGA that tells us what symbols are associated with Lirulu: curtains of flower petals falling to the ground and weird balls of flesh/petals accompany him in every single BGA so far.

In his next appearance in “Obelisk”, he is depicted as having the twins under his control, having apparently trapped them in an endless maze.

It’s Extension V’s “Peace Comes At a Price” that is arguably the most important video he appears in, since this is where he’s properly set up as Verse 2's antagonist. The BGA shows him sitting in a chair, the twins next to him, observing every single thing that happened in the central storyline of RESPECT, starting with “Glory Days” and ending with “glory MAX”. Initially, he’s simply laughing, but then he starts acting in a clearly malevolent way as the song’s tone becomes darker, and we can see that the twins have had countless dolls (robots?) fashioned after them, standing at Lirulu’s beck and call.

Lirulu makes another minor but important appearance in Liberty's "Bestie". It's a touching track exploring the friendship of Clear and Fail in an alternate universe. They bond over being the only people at an abandoned school, and even seem to consider each other besties, until for some reason, Fail leaves, prompting Clear to search for her. Having been unable to find her friend, she returns to the classroom where they spent so much time together and erases the word "Bestie" written on the blackboard. Fans have offered quite a few wildly differing interpretations as to what happened, but whether you think Fail left on her own or was kidnapped/manipulated, one thing has to be said for certain: it was Lirulu's shadow that appears at the bottom right of the screen shortly before she goes missing. This, alongside with “Peace Comes At a Price”, sets up Lirulu's ability to not only dive into the alternate universes that serve as settings for the large amount of BGAs featuring Clear and Fail, but also manipulate what happens in them.

After that, Lirulu made a background appearance in Season 14. Players who shelled out for the Clear Pass and received the Maid UI skin are treated to the following conversation between Preiya and Camilia on the AIR screen: the maids, at a loss as to what can be done with Play, who is refusing to go to bed and keeps watching DJMAX videos on her phone, warn her that, unless she goes to bed right this instant, 'Rerulu is waiting in the hallway to perform the "Dance of Nightmares"'.

Before we get to that, allow me to bring your attention to Kakera 2's "Kakera". This BGA develops the story in a way that "Peace Comes At a Price" has already strongly teased: Lirulu is using the twins (infinitely cloned and partially mechanized as evidenced by their robotic limbs) to conquer alternative universes of DJMAX tracks, this time attacking the universe of "weaponize". Preiya and Camilia (or their clones, rather) are giving Clear and Fail a hard time. When all seems lost and the protagonists seem to have lost, Clear launches one final counter-attack: escaping the red threads of fate just enough to have threatened Lirulu to the point where he uses Weaponize-Lena as cover, she is pulled back in. It bears noting that "Kakera" marks the first appearance of a new symbol that might be associated with Lirulu's activities in the future: a Balatro-inspired giant 3D playing card-like shape with an eye in the middle. Considering how it appeared after Clear and Fail almost lost to the invading forces, it seems like these cards represent his control over a particular world. It's possible that, in the future, we will see Lirulu use these cards as part of a deck representing his control over many other universes/worlds, possibly allowing him to use the power of the versions of Clear and Fail within these worlds to combat characters in other universes. I think it's also important to underline a little detail that might be missed considering how grand the finale here is: Clear and Fail both escape captivity, but it's only Clear who's captured at the end. She clearly sacrificed herself to let Fail get away, so does this mean that Weaponize-Fail is going to play a big role in the upcoming story?
Also, this honestly goes for all vocal-heavy tracks in DJMAX, but... you really should watch the BGA for this one on Youtube with auto-generated subs on. The lyrics here imply a lot.

We didn't have to wait long to find out what this Dance of Nightmares is. Shortly after a developer stream where DumpingLIFE promised us that we'll get to see Gaya's armpits, the DJMAX channel uploaded the BGA for "Madness", which will be appearing in Liberty 2. This BGA features Gaya and Lirulu, who are seemingly a K-Pop-esque boy band unit, go about their day of idol activities: waking up, showering, practicing, going to the office with Lena's secretary... potentially seducing Lena?!... Clearly, something is going on. Lirulu has either created a parallel universe of his own, where him and Gaya have taken Clear and Fail's place, or he's starting to rewrite the "main" universe of RESPECT. I lean towards the first theory, as the BGA ends with an ominous shot of Diein, awake next to their sleeping humanized pets, with Lirulu ominously levitating in the background. It should be noted that his outfit here is more in line with what he wears in “quixotic”, and a TV static-like effect is utilized for the transition to a close-up of Die-in's face. Playing this song unlocks a story episode that explains these details: the BGA was essentially an illusion that Lirulu showed Diein. Its gist, however, was not that Lirulu can take over the talent agency, but that he's capable of wrapping Gaya up in his plans. Only time will reveal whether Lirulu and Diein will link up.

[ExcaliburZero]

what about shirley house and lupine?

[SeeDee]

I'm loving this games lore and I get more and more into it as the DLCs come out. Thank you for all the info dumping!!

[Capibara69]

Thanks for the lore of Diein

[nothing]

also i dont think the madness bga is Lirulu rewriting the story. Its like he's telling Diein "cut this idol out and go back to being what you are". I got the impression that hes teasing her with her recent idol endeavors which are kinda not under her control. I doubt a once world destroyer would just quit and become an idol. Maybe Lena is more powerful than she lets on.

[nothing]

the madness bga is a dream he put in Diein's head. both a gift and agressive warning for her idol debut in Final Hour. after reading the new Angels and Devils story bit i feel like in V LIBERTY III and forward we're gonna have some crazy stuff go down. Maybe Lirulu is gonna pull Dien from Lena's contract so they can tag team and f some s up and succeed where she failed. To take control of Fail. Maybe finally see the blue haired guy from quixotic at Lirulu's castle. IN BIG BANG CHALLENGE we can see Server and Diein dont really fw this idol thing really, trying to revert judgement, typos and server back to their animal forms. Children of Destiny obviously being Clear and Fail, and "Players" being us. The story might be heading down a fourth wall break type of story we as players have an effect in what happens. Not sure yet who the "Performer" and "Weaver" are yet

[ufsb archive]

Thank you for banishing the old transcription.
The guide's been updated to better reflect the little new story-related things we found out in the Liberty 2 stream.

[Keldeo 39]

thanks to the preview of Liberty 2 that recently released, it's been confirmed that the character who is Preiya & Camilia's master is pronounced Lirulu.
speaking of which, why did he decide to go all flamboyant for the new track!? it's just too silly for me...

[ufsb archive]

Thank you for pointing that out! The stupid mistake's been fixed.

[I Am That Is]

Hi! Thank you for the writeup - it was hard to parse some of the story just from the BGAs, and I appreciate the inclusion of the insight from the devs. It makes me wish they would just put out a novella or something! Also, little feedback - you swapped the Korean names of Camilia and Freya. They should be the other way around, I believe!

[Jusbe]

can you talk about poppy playtime and roblox being canon to djmax lore
