Oropo is the overall main antagonist of Wakfu. He is a mysterious Eliotrope and the leader of a secret guild known only as The Siblings. His goal is to one day destroy the current gods of the World of Twelve and replace them with their demigod children.
History[]
Background[]
Oropo, alongside his people, was created by a time warp when Yugo fought Ogrest using the Six Eliatrope Dofus. This led to the accidental creation of the Eliotrope people in Yugo's image. The time warp scattered them throughout history, causing them to exist in the world thousands of years prior to their own creation.
However, over the years, each Eliotrope died from one reason to another, until Oropo was the last. He lived for so long because whenever an Eliotrope died his or her power would be added to another still-living Eliotrope, which increased their power and added to their natural lifespan. His age-long life, combined with his identity crisis of being Yugo and yet not left him insane and bitterly vengeful against both his creator and the gods who didn't hear his people's prayers and sought to replace them. To that end, Oropo worked from the shadows to set into motion many a series of events in order to weaken the god's power.
It was then revealed that Oropo manipulated Dathura and Ogrest's relationship leading to Ogrest's Chaos, and when the time was right, he made sure Nox found the Eliacube. He also began gathering his brotherhood of replacement gods, recruiting their demigod children by preying on their bitterness towards their divine parents.
But only Echo knew of his true plans and the rest were replaced one by one when they became suspicious of his goals or if their sacrifices would benefit his plans. Though his plans were coming to fruition, his own life was reaching its end and he would soon vanish. This made him even more determined to see his plans through.

Oropo Special[]
Oropo and his allies ventured to Oma Island to retrieve the Eliacube from Grougaloragran. Upon their arrival, they encountered Grougaloragran, who was surprised by their presence on the island. Oropo, wearing a smile, casually remarked that he possessed a key, reassuring Grougal that there was no need for concern as they came in peace. However, Grougal remained wary, persisting in his questioning of Oropo. Sensing that his initial words hadn't had the desired effect, Oropo adopted a different tactic—he exclaimed that he had come as his brother. Grougal was taken aback when he saw a reflection of Yugo, both in physical appearance and Wakfu. Despite this, he swiftly rejected Oropo's claim and launched himself at him, emphatically asserting that Oropo was not Yugo. Oropo countered, suggesting that Grougal reconsider his assumptions. Suddenly, Bouillon struck Grougal from behind, allowing Oropo to free himself from Grougal's grasp.
Oropo briefly engaged with Bouillon, who seemed eager to be the first to fight the dragon, allowing Bouillon to duel Grougal first. He then left through a portal, teleporting a short distance away to spectate the fight alongside his allies. Sidaire, one of the Eliotropes, then complained about how they should attack as a group instead of letting Bouillon do all the work by himself. The rest of the Eliotropes joined in the conversation, expressing their dissatisfaction with the current situation. Oropo refuted their claims and became increasingly agitated until Lady Echo calmed him down.
Throughout the fight, Oropo made some small remarks on the fight, occasionally showing shocked facial expressions as the battle progressed. However, this idleness did not last long, as Grougal eventually found himself hanging from one of Bouillon's horns. Oropo then made some snarky remarks, but was soon quieted down as Grougal broke free from Bouillon's horn, tearing it apart. Thus, the fight continued, and Oropo remained a spectator. He did, however, tell Atone to discreetly help Bouillon, upon which Atone quietly shot a laser from his eyes, barely missing Grougal.
Oropo's calm attitude, often accompanied by a smile, ended with the death of Bouillon, who went headfirst against his ripped horn, stabbing his forehead. Oropo screamed Bouillon's name, but it was too late as Bouillon's Wakfu returned to him and his fellow Eliotropes. He then cried for his brother, remembering how they met, ordering Atone to end Grougal. Atone's attack would bear no fruit, as Chibi joined the scene.
When Sidaire asked who the new person before them was, Oropo simply stared in shock, exclaiming that the man before them was none other than Chibi, Grougal's brother, whom he thought was dead. Oropo then exclaimed that Chibi's arrival had changed everything and that Chibi should not have been there, yet his eyes were drawn to the Eliacube which Chibi wielded. Opening a portal, Oropo told his allies that they would leave and return later with more strength, but he was quickly stopped by Chibi's Wakfu hammer, which collided with the portal and caused it to close.
Chibi, extremely furious that Oropo and the others had come to the island, attempted to kill his brother, prevented their departure. This forced Oropo to confront them and declare that they should have been allowed to leave peacefully, but now they would fight until the death. Oropo then equipped himself with the Wakfu sword, shield, and bodysuit, skills reminiscent of Yugo, preparing for battle, which shocked Chibi.
Echo took the initiative, summoning magical hands to engulf Chibi and Grougal. The battle ensued, with everyone showcasing their fighting prowess, but Chibi and Grougal seemed to have the upper hand. Despite the Eliotropes appearing to be at a disadvantage, Oropo managed to seize the Eliacube, his mind flooded with memories of past and potential events. Bewildered by what he had witnessed, he dropped the Eliacube.
Grougal, realizing that Oropo had seen the visions, warned him that the Eliacube could not be wielded by just anyone. Oropo took a step back, his eyes still wide with shock. He refuted Grougal's claim, insisting that the Eliacube shouldn't be in anyone's hands, asserting that he should be the one to possess it. Thus the fight resumed once more, for as long as one side had yet to fall, no side would stop.
Grougal lunged himself at Oropo, who promptly summoned the sword and shield once more. He teleported himself away from Grougal, who attempted to strike him, and opened a portal underneath the Eliacube, teleporting it to his side once more. Grougal explained that he was very knowledgeable with portals and couldn't be tricked by them, to which Oropo simply exclaimed that it was fine by him. Suddenly, Grougal disappeared with what seemed to be a magic trick, only to reappear behind Oropo, uttering something along the lines of "playing as an idiot in the eyes of a fool is a real delight for a gourmet."
Oropo swirled around towards Grougal, but it was too late. Grougal struck him in the chin with his fists, then continued to pummel him until Oropo lost his balance and fell to his knees. Grougal proceeded to ask Oropo if he had any last wishes, to which Oropo commented that Grougal should keep a better eye on his brother and that he would inform his mother dragon. Meanwhile, while Grougal was occupied fighting Oropo, Chibi was slowly being mentally tortured by Atone.
After Chibi broke free from Atone's mental torture, Oropo found himself standing right next to Atone, facing Chibi, who had seemingly knocked Grougal unconscious without realizing it. Chibi then attempted to attack Atone, but what happened next took everyone, including Oropo, by surprise. In a shocking sacrifice, Atone pierced his own heart and Chibi's, ending their lives then and there. Oropo stood there, utterly bewildered by what had just unfolded before him, his eyes shaking unstably. He ran towards Atone, completely ignoring Grougal, who was too preoccupied with rushing towards Chibi. Memories of his meeting with Atone flashed in his mind, mere specters of an odd encounter between the ambitious Oropo and the emotionless Atone, who did not see the world the same way he did, yet had chosen to join Oropo's side because Oropo was capable of feeling, of showing his lack of love, need to be recognized, and internal hatred which burned brightly within him.
Returning to reality, an almost dead Atone placed his hand on Oropo's crying face, muttering "sadness" upon realizing the expression and emotion which Oropo carried at that moment. Oropo exclaimed that he needed Atone, to which Atone responded that they were not tools for Oropo. Oropo retorted, "Of course not, fool. You are a sister, a brother, but that doesn't matter." Tears gushed out of Oropo's eyes, and Atone, like Bouillon, began to fade away, their Wakfu returning to Oropo and the rest.
After dealing with his brother, Grougal returned to confront Oropo, his eyes brimming with hatred, initiating the final showdown. The two engaged in a long, exhausting, and explosive battle, their speed unmatched as they flew across the plane, causing immense waves in their wake. Their ferocious combat reached the limits of space as they exchanged blows, attempting to seize the Eliacube, which lay between them.
The battle raged fiercely until the Eliacube could no longer contain the energy, resulting in a massive, colorful explosion that engulfed them like fireworks. As the force became overwhelming, Oropo's bodysuit shattered, and he was hurled away, plummeting from the sky until he crashed onto the beach, unconscious and naked, yet clutching the Eliacube by his side. However, the body lying on the beach seemed empty, for once Grougal seized the Eliacube, an aspect of Oropo appeared trapped inside it, shouting out to no avail. Grougal then flung the Eliacube far away, and Oropo's consciousness sank into the sea, his lifeless body taken away by Echo.
Season 1[]
Oropo's spirit was trapped inside the Eliacube but was found by Nox before he became a villain, Nox became obsessed with the Cube, going half way to insanity. Oropo somehow could talk to Nox, and when Nox went completely insane when he heard about his families death, Oropo saw this as an opportunity and began speaking to Nox and told Nox that if he gathered enough Wakfu he could use the cube to go back in time and save his family. Nox the spent over 200 years gathering Wakfu form other people and living beings and in the final battle with Yugo and Nox, Oropo spirit had somehow escaped the Eliacube leaving the broken Nox behind when he didn’t get to go back to the exact time he wanted and leaving him with the consequences of his actions.
Season 3[]
Oropo finally decided to set his plans into motion and sent Poo and Toxxine to abduct Elely, Flopin, and Evangelyne who was pregnant with her third child. He intended to have them join his Brotherhood and have Elely and Flopin become the new Iop Goddess and Cra God. Adamaï went as well, easily taking Eva and Flopin while he attempted to murder Percedal and used his link to Yugo to make him see his attempt on Dally's life.
Later, the Brotherhood of the Tofu arrived in Oropo's pocket dimension where his base of operations, the Tower of Dreams, was located. He laid a Xelor trap to subdue them and used his power to toy with their minds, except for Elely, whose soul was pure, and he spoke to her that he wanted her to join his Brotherhood of her own free will and become the new Iop Goddess.
Afterward, Oropo released Yugo, Percedal, Amalia, and Ruel and invited them to enter his Tower of Dreams. On each floor of this tower was a demigod meant to replace their godly parent, and challenged them to face his cohorts, to pit their will against his allies' beliefs. He promised them whatever they wanted if they made it to the top with their beliefs unshaken.
Afterward, Oropo and Adamai fall back to the top of the tower where Adamai questions Oropo why they don't just crush the Brotherhood of the Tofu. Oropo, having probed their minds, is utterly confident that the Brotherhood of the Tofu is already defeated and that their journey up the tower will make them suffer while strengthening the convictions of their own comrades.
Adamai still doubts but Oropo dismisses his warning, saying what chance the Brotherhood of the Tofu could have against them, with Adamai empowered by the Six Eliatrope Dofus and Oropo the Eliacube.
Observing the Brotherhood of the Tofu[]
Oropo and Adamai continue to debate the Brotherhood of the Tofu's progress through the tower and their candidates to replace the gods. At some point, they are joined by Echo and interrupted by Toxxine who informs them that Eva and Flopin have managed to escape Echo's floor. Oropo requests Echo and Toxxine to recapture the mother and son, and then later they sense a great power distorting Oropo's pocket dimension and destabilizing the tower. He asks Adamaï to find out what's going on and Adamaï to report back that Evangelyne has gone into labor, that it's her baby causing the disturbance.
He requests Adamai's help to keep the tower and dimension stable; this results in Adamai needing to release the Eliatrope Dofus from his body so the Eliacube can exert enough power for Oropo to keep things under control. Finally, Oropo breaks down the tower while having the pieces and debris float gently down instead of fall and prepares a giant portal for his ultimate goal, setting the structure for the portal to the ground and finding Amalia (who was sent to Oropo by Sipho).
Seeing her, Oropo embraces her with a deep desire and carries her upwards before kissing her. Amalia is confused when she peers under Oropo's hood and is shocked by what she sees that she utters, "Yugo?!"
Revealing his True Intentions[]
Oropo responds that he's Yugo in a way but before he can explain he calls upon Adamai telling him it is time. Adamai appears, asking Oropo if he is certain, stating once he starts there is no turning back. Oropo responds he made his decision centuries ago and prepares the Eliacube and the Eliatrope Dofus. He then calls upon the members of his Brotherhood and uses his spheres to teleport them to his location (Arpagone prevents the spheres from taking her and Ruel, stating she and her husband still have things to discuss). He telepathically instructs Sipho (currently disguised as Amalia) to keep watch over Eva and her children, and for Echo to bring Yugo to him.
Oropo then explains to Amalia that he and Yugo are one and the same, he feels what Yugo feels; he views Ruel as a father, Adamai, and Percedal as brothers, Evangelyne as a sister. On the other hand, for Amalia he feels love (because Yugo feels that way for Amalia) before he kisses her again.
The rest of the Siblings, along with Yugo arrive, and Echo and Yugo are shocked to see Oropo kissing Amalia, and when Amalia questions Oropo's goals; Echo furiously scolds Amalia only for Oropo to tell her to calm down.
Oropo then rises up, declaring to the Siblings how long it's been that he's promised them the opportunity for a new world and that they would replace the gods, as he begins to power up his Hyperzaap portal.
Yugo protests Oropo, saying he's as crazy as all the rest, only for Oropo and Adamai to admonish him. The latter reminds Yugo that using the Six Eliatrope Dofus against Ogrest's Six Primordial Dofus would have consequences and tells Yugo to think back on what happened.
Yugo recalls that when he used the Dofus he saw images of what appeared to be Eliatropes. Oropo hints to Yugo as the young Eliatrope begins to realize that what he saw were not Eliatropes but versions of himself.
Oropo explains that Yugo, who had not been ready to use the Dofus, his deepest desire when he did had been to find his people, the Eliatropes. Within that instant, the Dofus distorted Yugo's wish. Oropo then has a brief seizure of sorts and Amalia helps him to his feet, as Oropo continues to explain:
He and the other versions of Yugo were created and somehow transported to the dawn of the World of Twelve. For millennia, they all lived in fear of altering history, their every moment uncertain and plagued by doubt. As time passed they gained more and more access to Yugo's memories, his feelings, his powers, his desires. However much they cherished them they knew none of it was not truly their own.
Growing up under Yugo's shadow, one of them named their people Eliotropes to set them apart from the Eliatropes.
Yugo reacts by charging at Oropo, only for Adamai to stand in his way. The two brothers then clash but Yugo refuses to fight his brother while Adamai bitterly brutalizes him.
Amalia then calls out to Yugo that she doesn't need him, and states they should hear what Oropo has to say since even Adamai sides with him.
Oropo continues the story of the Eliotropes, that whenever one of them died their power was added to the rest, which also extended their lifespans; Oropo is the last of the Eliotropes, having outlived and inherited all the power of his Eliotrope brothers, which is why he's lived for so long. When Yugo asks what bone he has to pick with the gods, Oropo answers because the gods were deaf and indifferent to the Eliotropes prayers for help and salvation. He goes onto say that the gods care for no one, not even their own children, only valuing worship.
He declares the gods must be stopped and that his Brotherhood will replace them, and reprimands Yugo, the Father of the Eliotropes, as an accusing hypocrite.
At this point, Echo speaks up, saying Oropo is good at playing "holier than thou"; that he lies as easily as he breathes because the Eliacube combined with the Eliatrope Dofus would explode with such power that it would destroy the world of Inglorium and the gods with it. Ignoring Oropo's order to shut up, Echo goes on to add that in order to weaken the gods for this plan to work the gods must be cut off from the source of their power, the worship, and prayers of their followers.
Echo's words help Adamai realize the Oropo is planning to use the Eliacube and Dofus as a bomb to destroy the World of Twelve to stop the prayers and worship of the gods. Adamai tries to take back the Dofus only for Oropo to use his spheres to subdue the dragon. He then does the same to Echo.
Amalia questions Oropo's actions, and he responds he was prepared in case his followers (being demigods) dared to turn against him, and Amalia realizes she was wrong about Oropo, as he summons more spheres and directs them to attack Yugo with a volley of lasers.
Thankfully, Percedal and Goultard arrive to back Yugo up as they aid him in destroying some of the spheres, and then Yugo and Oropo clash.
Oropo draws Yugo into some kind of inner world where he confronts Yugo, the Father of the Eliotropes, and declares him to be no different from the gods, one who created life but didn't care for his children. Images of other Eliotropes appear and point accusing fingers at Yugo as Oropo finally lowers his hood, revealing he truly is another version of Yugo albeit older in appearance.
He then absorbs Yugo, intending to replace him as the "real" Yugo, and in the real world everyone looks on as the clash between Yugo and Oropo clears and they see only Oropo but now radiating with power.
Yugo is trapped inside Oropo's mind where he is subject to a scenario and confronted by phantasms of Nox and Qilby as manifestations of his own self-doubts, guilt, and flaws.
Unmasking the Deciever[]
Meanwhile, Oropo boasts in his victory of absorbing Yugo and believing that he has truly become the "real Yugo", surprised by how easy it was. Adamai, still subdued by Oropo's spheres, demands an explanation about Oropo's lies. Oropo brushes him off while admitting he had manipulated them all but justifies his deceit by stating it was necessary, and that together they will remake the universe. He dismisses their doubts by saying he didn't have time to convince them all by telling the full truth of his plans.
Echo reminds Oropo that he told her everything, and Oropo responds because she was the one he always counted on, because of her love and support which had blinded Echo to Oropo's madness. He apologizes that he can't return her love because he "loves" Amalia, who calls Oropo as crazy as all the villains she and her friends have faced. This hurts Oropo and he asks Amalia not to say that and says to her that he is Yugo.
Amalia rejects him by saying she knows Yugo and notes the differences between him and Oropo: Yugo doesn't lie to his friends and family, he doesn't use and manipulate them, or turn them against each other.
She goes on by pointing out that Oropo turned Adamai against his brother and his friends, that Oropo used his follower's devotion to make them do whatever he wanted. Following with that he's tricked them with his promises, and that he is not nor could he ever be Yugo.
Oropo simply dismisses Amalia's words, arrogantly affirming that eventually, she'll see things his way. He then goes on to say to his followers they are but children who don't know what's best compared to him who has lived for ages and that they have to trust him.
Echo bitterly laughs at Oropo's words even as his spheres cause her pain, the other Siblings looking on with concern and beginning to doubt Oropo. Echo then forces herself to stand and state how she trusted and followed Oropo for centuries, drank his words and believed in his cause. Worst of all she'd thought he loved her, that he'd loved all their fellow Siblings who'd looked up to him, trusted him, thought that they'd mattered to Oropo. But the truth was that they were all just pawns to Oropo.
Oropo states the contrary but Echo continues to speak, that they had only been a surrogate family to Oropo because he'd always considered the Brotherhood of the Tofu to be his "real family" due to his obsession with becoming the "real Yugo". She then tells Amalia that she is right, that Oropo is a monster, and Oropo begins to get angry as he wills the spheres to hurt Echo more.
Echo doesn't stop speaking and reveals to the Siblings that Oropo has recruited hundreds of demigods over the ages and never hesitated to sacrifice them if it suited his plans or if they dared to turn against him!
Oropo teleports to Echo and grabs her by the throat, telling her to shut up as he creates an energy blade of Wakfu, placing it near Echo's throat, to the horror and disgust of his followers. Oropo demands obedience and Echo goads him to hurt her, to kill her. Oropo seems to consider it a moment before he steps back, shaken by the pain on Echo's face... before he confesses to them all that Echo is right.
He confesses that he has used them, lied to them, and rhetorically questions what kind of supreme god would he be if he did not face his own faults?
Having heard enough, Goultard attacks Oropo, who easily counters Goultard, destroying his weapon and blasting him away with a powerful energy burst. He then raining multiple blasts of energy upon Goultard, whom Oropo calls a fine example of the futility of the gods.
He goes on to arrogantly declare he acted in his followers' best interests in the pursuit of creating a more just world.
Mishell and Ush question Oropo while Dathura admits she knows what Oropo did to her, manipulating her to bring about Ogrest's Chaos. The rest of the Siblings are shocked by this revelation, that Oropo is ultimately responsible for Ogrest's Chaos and all the pain and suffering that resulted from it. All of this, Oropo excuses as a necessary evil. Echo adds that Oropo was the one who caused Noximillian the Watchmaker to find the Eliacube, which Oropo excuses as a necessary evil to bring forth those who would lead them.
(Unrepentant of how it led to the Watchmaker becoming the mad Xelor Nox, who became insane and desperate to go back in time to save his family). The Siblings realize that their own sufferings were in part the fault of Oropo. Mishell then angrily rushes to attack him only for his spheres to painfully subdue her, as are the rest of them subdued by Oropo's spheres.
Amalia calls Oropo a monster and summons vines to attack him and he reflexively counters and blows her into a wall, knocking her unconscious.
The Battle for the World of Twelve[]
Within Oropo's mind, Yugo is being tortured by the phantasms of Nox and Quilby as they mock and brutalize him. But Yugo finally manages to score a hit on the phantasm of Nox, which actually has the same effect on Oropo in the real world, and he realizes Yugo is fighting to escape him.
In the scenario and in the real world Yugo and Percedal respectively manage to score a hit that sends Oropo flying due to his distraction from Yugo. This infuriates him as he blows away Percedal and tries a different tactic to break Yugo's spirit by having him face a phantasm of Adamai before he joined the Siblings. A manifestation of Yugo's guilt of fighting his own brother, as well as Yugo's growing guilt of how his ignorance and actions led to the suffering of the Eliotropes.
Oropo then turns his attention to the Eliacube and Eliatrope Dofus, declaring that everything will soon be over, that once the Eliacube is ready he will destroy the gods, and once it was over his followers would join him whether they want to or not. The Eliacube then begins to absorb the Dofus as Oropo prepares it for his insane purpose.
He is then attacked by Percedal again who keeps him distracted while Goultard sets the Siblings free of Oropo's spheres. Oropo tells Percedal not to fight him, stating they are friends. But Percedal rejects him by saying his friend is Yugo and Oropo is just another lunatic.
The Iop attacks Oropo with a flurry of punches that are blocked by the Eliotrope's power but cave after a more powerful punch that blows Oropo back a little.
He angrily states that he is Yugo, and grows increasingly furious that no one is accepting him as Yugo. They continue to fight and Oropo furiously declares that from now on any who won't accept him he'll destroy, and he hits Percedal with a powerful blast.
Sensing his friend is in danger, Yugo snaps out of his guilt-ridden stupor and finds himself back in Oropo's inner world and begins looking for a way out. A figment of Oropo resembling his mask tries to dissuade Yugo and fill him with doubt to convince him to let Oropo be the real Yugo, to let him handle all the burdens Yugo carries on his shoulders.
But Yugo refuses to listen, to believe that he could ever become anything like Oropo and that he will stop the mad Eliotrope no matter what.
Yugo breaks free of Oropo and emerges from the Eliotrope's head. A brief friendly exchange between Yugo and Percedal is soured when Oropo hypocritically lays all blame upon Yugo before he continues his work on having the Eliacube absorb the Dofus.
Adamai, having been freed by Goultard, join the face-off and Oropo repeats his wishes to create a better world where they are not governed by gods who care nothing for them and reminds him that it's because of Yugo that he (Oropo) exists in the first place, blaming Yugo for all his own faults and misdeeds.
Adamai reminds Oropo that to achieve his goal he intends to destroy the World of Twelve.
Oropo excuses his intention that evolution requires sacrifice.
They witness the Eliacube absorb another Dofus as the Hyperzaap begins to power up and Yugo and Adamai team up, ignoring Oropo's pleas to let him complete his work, as Adamai distracts him while Yugo goes to the Eliacube. He subdues its power, channeling the power of the dragons to create a Wakfu sword before facing Oropo, who teleports out of Adamai's grasp and knocks him aside before he answers Yugo's challenge, conjuring a sword of his own.
Although he notes how Yugo has faced powerful adversaries like Ogrest and Nox, he calls himself a more experienced version of the young Eliatrope, asking what chance he has, while Yugo simply begins the fight. At first they seem evenly matched but Oropo, knowing the type of tactics Yugo employs, quickly counters Yugo's attacks and begins to overwhelm him.
The Eliacube Bomb[]
As the fight drags on, Oropo has Yugo on the run but then he experiences a seizure that causes his spheres to lose power and the Siblings are able to move. Oropo quickly teleports to the Eliacube, saying how he is slowly but surely fading, that without the Eliacube he would have faded long ago. He again lays blame at Yugo's feet and is about to attack him only for Amalia to wrap Oropo in vines. The Sadida Princess states that everyone has their flaws, a dark side, but what truly defines a hero is not to succumb to it, and stating Oropo has done many evils, blaming Yugo as an excuse for his wrongdoings because he couldn't accept he was in the wrong despite knowing it was true deep down.
She states that Oropo is nothing like Yugo because the defining difference between them is that for all his mistakes Yugo would sacrifice himself before letting harm befall his loved ones.
Although moved by Amalia's words and seeing there is yet love in Echo's eyes for him, Oropo angrily refuses to change his mind and see his goal to the end. He draws power from the Eliacube to take on a larger form composed of pure Wakfu to protect himself as he finishes preparing the Eliacube.
The heroes are uncertain of what to do, as the Eliacube is getting ready to explode: If they don't stop Oropo he'll venture through the Hyperzaap to destroy Inglorium and the Gods with it. If they do, it is Oropo's dimension along with them all that will be destroyed.
But they are compelled to act as Adamai, Yugo, and Percedal take flight to oppose Oropo.
Ruel and his wife Arpagone throw their shovel and pickaxe, which damage Oropo's avatar form. Elely taps into her divine power to score a powerful hit (and is quickly pulled out of harm's way by Amalia). Despite the heroes' efforts, they aren't getting anywhere against Oropo and his avatar form as he is almost finished preparing the Eliacube.
In the crossfire, Oropo accidentally destroys Mishell's giant frog whose stomach carried sleeping animals that were her beloved friends, killing them all. The loss of her beloved animals spurs a grieving Mishell to fruitlessly attack Oropo who is struck by a memory of having cared for Mishell's animals along with her, causing him a moment of guilt which is instantly forgotten when the last Dofus is absorbed by the Eliacube.
Ignoring Adamai's words, Oropo opens the Hyperzaap, ready to send the Eliacube to destroy the realm of the gods.
Echo states there is still a way to stop Oropo and bids Sipho farewell before releasing black feathers upon the heroes and the Siblings which magically send them through the portal before Oropo can stop them. He calls her insane but she declares whatever he does next, it's over; if he sends the bomb through, the gods will be destroyed, including the children meant to replace them.
Furiously, Oropo demands how she could betray him and she responds by saying she asks him the same question, shaking Oropo to his core. He angrily states it was all to make a better world and goes through the portal. But as he goes through, he recalls the many memories he shared with the Siblings, playing games of chance with Ush, helping Black Bump with his collection, watching a sunset with Echo, and being reminded how she had always been at his side.
Oropo goes back to Echo, commenting on the risk she took, which she acknowledges was worth it. He and Echo make amends, Oropo calmly saying he really did just want to make a better world and wishing things had been different, which Echo acknowledges.
They share true love's kiss right before the Eliacube explodes, killing them and destroying Oropo's dimension.
Season 4[]
He appears in the first episode exploding before talking to Yugo inside his (Yugo’s) mind. He reminds Yugo that he is not his enemy, but rather one of his children. Yugo proceeds to break down, confessing in tears. Orono continues, and tells Yugo he’s going to do it all again, he continues to speak to Yugo, telling him he’s the biggest villain, the worst one. Yugo argues they aren’t alike, which Orono responds with “But you are my creator, Yugo.” Yugo then screams “I said I am not like you!” before Oropo and all Yugos other children merge into him in lights of aquamarine.
Personality[]
His identity is shrouded in mystery. Oropo is very calm and persuasive individual able to win others to his side with these traits. He claims to hate violence and chaos and is lenient on others despite what he considers flaws in their personalities. However, he is also completely opinionated in the righteousness of his cause and will get visibly angry if it's questioned by those on his own side (as when Adamai pointed out some of the flaws in his chosen candidates for god replacements). He also follows the principles of the end justifies the means and that sacrifice is necessary for change. He refers to himself as a non-existence.
Once his identity was revealed, Oropo shows a much darker side to himself. Despite wanting to save the world, his ultimate plan still involves destroying all life on the planet, to eliminate the prayers going to the gods, making them vanish. Despite being in a relationship with Echo, Oropo gladly kissed Amalia, due to having some of Yugo feelings and memories. Furthermore, he shows a hatred towards Yugo for his existence and views him as having abandoned his creations.
Despite knowing that Yugo himself was never aware of their existence. Oropo has led the Siblings for ages, has recruited hundreds of followers over the centuries, and never hesitating to sacrifice any of them if it served his plans. He had no qualms about lying, using, or manipulating others and excused his actions or hypocritically shifted blame onto someone else.
His actions, his reasons, and his extremes make Oropo no better than the gods he wishes to destroy.
Deep down, Oropo knows his actions and reasons for doing them are wrong and selfish, and he truly loved the Siblings, considering them his family, and he had been in love with Echo.
His greatest flaw had been his obsession with becoming the "real Yugo", to take Yugo's place, and joining the Brotherhood of the Tofu, whom he saw as a family because of the feelings and memories he'd inherited from Yugo that blinded him to the love and devotion of Echo and his friends until it was too late.

Oropo is extremely powerful, capable of bending time and space in the creation of his multi-dimensional dream tower. Furthermore, it has somehow taken over the Eliacube, which can make its user as strong as a god. It can also enter people's minds through the complaints of their doubts and fears. When his people, the Eliotrope, died, their Wakfu moved to Oropo, retaining all the Wakfu of their race once dead.
Strength - Oropo is outrageously strong much stronger than Goultard and Tristepin was, he was able to humiliate them in terms of physical strength.
Speed - Oropo is able to move at incredible speeds, appearing and disappearing all of a sudden that it looks like he is teleporting.
Resistance - Oropo possesses an incredible resistance but he is not invulnerable to physical harm.
Durability - By possessing the Eliacube, Oropo can fight eternally, he has an infinite Wakfu thanks to the Eliacube.
Mental Manipulation - Oropo possessed powers to manipulate the mind, allowing him to sway those around him and even mess with their heads.
Flight - Oropo had the power to fly and even float in the air.
Wakfu Powers - Oropo had the power to manipulate Wakfu, often as energy attacks or even manifest blades of Wakfu energy. His greatest display of this power was manifesting a large avatar of green Wakfu energy that had the same owl-like face of his mask, as well as creating and maintaining a pocket dimension that housed his Tower of Dreams.
- Portal Creation - Oropo is capable of creating wakfu portals, a ability that he inherited from Yugo. Though he isn't seen using this ability much.
- Wakfu Weapons - Oropo can create weapons made out of pure wakfu. Most notably a sword which he uses in his fight against Yugo.
- Wakfu Avatar - In his "Awoken" state, Oropo can materialize an energy exoskeleton of his cloaked form and manipulate it anyway he can.
- Wakfu Blast - Using his avatar form, Oropo can project beams and blasts of Wakfu energy.
Equipment[]
Besides his considerable powers, Oropo made us of various equipment, such as:
Spheres - Oropo's Spheres worked as extensions of his awareness, a means to subdue targets, and even as weapons to fire energy lasers. Even more amazing was how they could be used to teleport himself or others to another location.
The Eliacube - Oropo made use of the Eliacube many times to increase his powers and ultimately as a bomb in an attempt to to destroy the Gods of the World of Twelve.
According to Oropo, he would have died a long time ago without it.
Relationships[]
Lady Echo[]
Echo is the second-in-command to Oropo and his lover, as well as his oldest comrade, perhaps even the first demigod he has ever recruited, as Echo claims that she has been by Oropo's side for centuries. She is one of the few people that he absolutely trusts and trusts, and at some point, they fell in love.
However, Oropo took Echo for granted as he was blinded by his obsession in becoming the "real Yugo" and the emotions he felt for Amalia that was really Yugo's causing him to think he loved Amalia when it was really an obsession born from emotions and memories that were not his own. Upon finally meeting Amalia, he kissed her and was caught in the act by Echo who was deeply hurt by this betrayal.
Echo turned against Oropo, revealing his deceptions and manipulations that Oropo came very close to killing her out of anger but restrained himself at the last second
In the end, Echo foiled Oropo's plans by forcing him to choose between sacrificing all his beloved followers to achieve his age-long goal or giving up. He almost chose to go through with it until he realized that his feelings for the Brotherhood of the Tofu were misplaced because they were not his own, and that it was the Siblings who were his family, that it had always been Echo he had truly loved.
Oropo gave up his ambition and returned to Echo, where they made amends shared one last kiss before they died together in the explosion of the Eliabomb, killing them both and destroying Oropo's dimension.
The Siblings[]
Oropo is the leader of the Forgotten and they treat him like their savior and have complete faith in him. At some point, he entered into a relationship with Echo. However, despite caring for his followers, he has voiced some disappointment in their feelings toward his plan as he knows most are following him for their belief in him rather than belief in his cause, which he claims is not the same thing.
With the full scope of his plans revealed, Echo surmises that the Siblings had really just been a substitute family for the Brotherhood of the Tofu he desired. Indeed, Oropo has led the Siblings for ages and recruited hundreds of members over the centuries and never hesitating to sacrifice any of them if it served his plans. It was only at the end however that he realized that he had truly grown to love them, that he did see them as his family.
Brotherhood of The Tofu[]
Despite being centuries old and this supposedly being their first encounter, he acts as if he has a history with the Brotherhood of Tofu. He seems more interested in putting them through emotional wringers to face themselves rather than killing them. He refers to Ruel as an old friend and claims that he knows Yugo better than anyone. He also admits that he finds them endearing despite what he sees as their faults, but at the same time they remind him of what he is not.
After revealing his hidden origin, Oropo revealed that he sees each of the Brotherhood as his family. This is due to him being a mirror image of Yugo and thus shares all his feelings towards the rest of the Brotherhood of Tofu. He sees Ruel as a father, Adamai and Percedal as his brothers, and Evangelyne as his sister. The only one he does not see as a family is Amalia, as he loves her and desires to be with her, just like the rest of the Eliotrope race.
However, his "love" for them all was not real but rather an obsession he developed because of the feelings and memories of them he'd inherited from Yugo, who he bitterly resented and sought to replace. His bitterness and obsession blinded him to the family had truly had with the Siblings and the true love he had in Echo.
Yugo[]
Yugo is Oropo’s creator who unknowingly created Oropo’s species by harnessing the power of the Six Eliatrope Dofus before fighting against Ogrest. In the third season, Oropo claims to know Yugo better than anybody else even his friends, family, and adversaries and was able to sway Yugo’s brother Adamaï to his side before later revealing himself to be an Eliatrope-like being called an Eliotrope who was influenced by the lack of Yugo or the Gods intervening in his siblings’ deaths and forcibly fused with Yugo before fighting against him once he escapes. In the end, Oropo dies with Echo and reappears to Yugo again in his true childlike form and is no longer hostile before disappearing. In season 4, Oropo appears again but helps train Yugo in the hopes of defeating Toross before finally making amends.
Nox[]
Nox was used as a pawn by Oropo once he got his hands on the Eliacube while with his family with this supposedly having been planned long before it happened. Oropo’s soul seemingly possessed the Eliacube after his fight with Grougaloragran and is presumed to be the voice that supposedly spoke to Nox with the Xelor obtaining other people’s Wakfu to power the cube. After Nox goes back less than the exact time he wanted to, the Eliacube forsakes him. Oropo later uses a vision of him against Yugo and remarks that the loss of Nox’s livelihood was a necessary evil, showing he regrets nothing.
Ogrest[]
Ogrest is another pawn of Oropo’s, being the first one chronologically. Oropo had Dathura steal the Dofus from Ogrest in order to corrupt him and set the death of Nox’s family and many others in motion. Besides this, nothing else is known of their relationship although like Nox, he ultimately didn’t care what happened to Ogrest.
Trivia[]
- The first episode of season 4 will focus on Oropo.
- The character of Oropo was created late for season 3 of the Wakfu series. Until then, Echo was considered the leader of the Brotherhood of the Forgotten. This change notably causes consistency problems with the Ogrest manga.
- In the Oropo speciel one of Oropo's allies Bouillon wielded the same wakfu sword oropo does in the finale, oropo likely did this to honour Bouillon's memory.
