Todays rip: 10/03/2024

Character Select BGM (KFAD2 Mode)

Season 4 Episode 1 Featured on: SiIva Direct Presents

Ripped by deogenerate, New Guy Visuals by Harmony Friends, deogenerate, dante

youtube

Requested by delilahs-pumpkin-patch! (@delilahs-pumpkin-patch)

Today's rip was requested for coverage on the blog due to one very simple reason. Because for all the coverage I've done on the King for Another Day Tournament in Season 4 Episode 1 with rips like Thank You, Everybody!, Unhealed and NIGHTMARESCAPE 〜Unrestrained HyperCam 2〜 (Final Boss Phase 2), there's one part of the project that I've effectively ignored entirely up until now. Indeed, though the excitement of the tournament itself, and its post-contest celebrations in Season 4 Episode 2, are both remembered very fondly, there's a period surrounding the tournament that's yet to be covered. We've covered this story's middle, its end, and its epilogue - now, its time to discuss its beginnings.

I've said before that Season 4 Episode 1 is kind of defined wholly by the tournament event itself, but given that it only took up around 2 months of actual channel time that may come off as a bit strange. That's because, much like the video game series that most directly inspired it, the King for Another Day Tournament did an incredible job in maintaining hype up until its release though reveals and trailers. These being the reveals of, of course, the new contestants - with a roster size doubled from Season 3's King for a Day Tournament, it left 16 characters to be revealed piecemeal in the buildup to the event. Channel creator Chaze the Chat described that he wanted Season 4 to be the most unpredictable and surprising Season yet, and we of course saw that outside of KFAD in rips like Sex - Steve Harvey and the entirety of Chain of Memories II Day - but the way the character reveals were done also played part in this element of surprise! The rip of today, Character Select BGM (KFAD2 Mode), is one of many other rips that contain a secret character reveal trailer within - hidden in the sea of normal channel uploads, these secret character reveals would be shown only to those who truly kept an eye out on every rip the channel uploaded.

Better yet, all these trailers were hidden at the very end of rips - and just like Chaze the Chat had warned, there was no telling what to expect from these rips even if they contained character reveals (shoutouts to Stronger than Mr Krab for being actually deranged). It was the hunt for the character reveals that made me click on rips like Character Select BGM (KFAD2 Mode) to begin with back in the day, as I have little to no connection to rhythm games like REFLEC BEAT VOLZZA, and yet it absolutely paid off in just how solid of a rip this is. This is a no-nonsense quality rip across the board, a high-octane melody swap medley with an energetic and fun sound derived from the source track. Creatively yet seamlessly, it begins by including themes relating to the Christmas Comeback Crisis such as The Noble Haltmann and Wood Man's theme, before pivoting to focus on music broadly categorizable as ones more known within Japan's online remix communities - including music featured in other rhythm games, but also music such as that made by Yosuke Yasui. In effect, Character Select BGM (KFAD2 Mode) was just about the perfect rip to reveal Rhythm Masters in, as a perfect blend of SiIva's own set of jokes and the potential kinds of rips the contestant itself could offer.

Excitement for KFAD was in the air for most of 2019, and it was through rips just like this that said excitement was maintained. And even though I myself lacked the connection needed to rhythm games to really have their reveal and place in the tournament hit home, experiencing that reveal in the way the channel did kept me excited all the same.

"summit"

My first attempt at digital painting back in 2016 inspired by DJ TOTTO's "Mountain" series of songs from BEMANI, which (at the time) consisted of "Valanga" and "glacia".

You can listen to them here: Valanga (from REFLEC BEAT colette) glacia (from jubeat prop)

Undercover Agent

Edgar had always been the quiet type, the kind of boy who preferred the company of books to people. His fascination with the FBI began in childhood, fueled by late-night spy movies and crime novels. Growing up in a small town, his dream of becoming an agent seemed distant and improbable, but Edgar's determination never wavered. He studied hard, earned top grades at an Ivy League, and applied for every opportunity that could bring him closer to his goal.

When he received the letter offering him an internship at the FBI office in Washington D.C., Edgar couldn't believe his luck. He packed his bags and left for the U.S. capital, filled with nervous excitement.

His first day was a whirlwind of introductions, security clearances, and overwhelming awe at the sheer scale of the operation. He was assigned to the administrative department, a role that felt both thrilling and mundane.

Edgar's days were filled with menial tasks: sorting files, delivering messages, and making coffee runs. Yet, every interaction with the agents and every glimpse into their work only deepened his resolve. He longed to be part of their world, to contribute to something meaningful. His unassuming nature meant he often went unnoticed, but he observed everything with keen interest.

One afternoon, as he was delivering a stack of files to a high-security area, Edgar noticed a door slightly ajar. The sign on the door read "Restricted Access: Authorized Personnel Only." His heart skipped a beat. What secrets lay behind that door? His curiosity was piqued. He looked around to make sure no one was watching and then slipped inside.

The room was dimly lit and filled with an array of scientific equipment. Beakers bubbled, machines hummed, and shelves were lined with vials of various colors. One vial, in particular, caught Edgar's eye. It was a luminous blue, glowing faintly in the low light. The label read "Project Chimera: Undercover Agent Enhancement."

Edgar’s curiosity overwhelmed him. He picked up the vial and turned it over in his hands, wondering what kind of enhancement it promised. He imagined himself as a capable, confident agent, ready to take on the world. The thought was intoxicating. Before he could talk himself out of it, Edgar uncorked the vial and drank it down.

The cool liquid had a faint taste of mint, and he swallowed it down in one gulp. At first, nothing happened, and he began to feel foolish for having taken such a reckless risk. Surely he would be fired after they found the empty vial. But then, a warmth spread through his chest, radiating outward like ripples in a pond.

Suddenly, he doubled over, clutching his stomach as a wave of energy surged through his body. It felt as though every cell in his body was being recharged, filling him with a power he had never known. His muscles began to tingle, then burn, as they expanded and hardened. He watched in awe as his biceps bulged, the fabric of his polo straining to contain his growing arms. His chest broadened as dark hair swirled around, pushing its way from the bursting buttons. Each breath he took caused his pectoral muscles to swell and push against the confines of his shirt, threatening to rip it completely from his torso.

His legs thickened with powerful new muscles. He felt his posture straighten, his spine elongating as his back muscles pulled him upright. The once baggy clothes he wore were now tight and restrictive, seams straining under the pressure of his rapidly expanding physique. He could feel his strength increasing with every passing second, the awkwardness of his former self melting away to reveal a body that looked like it belonged to a professional athlete or a comic book superhero.

His vision sharpened, and he instinctively reached up to remove his glasses. He no longer needed them; his eyesight was now perfect, every detail in the room coming into crystal-clear focus. Edgar stumbled to a mirror on the wall, hardly daring to believe what he might see. The reflection staring back at him was almost unrecognizable. The once scrawny intern had been replaced by a tall, muscular young man with chiseled features. His face had changed too—his jawline was stronger, more defined, and his eyes, now a piercing blue, seemed to sparkle with confidence.

Edgar flexed his new muscles, feeling a rush of exhilaration. His biceps, triceps, and deltoids rippled under his skin, each movement revealing the power contained within his new body. He ran his hands over his chest and abs, marveling at the firm, sculpted muscles that had replaced his once soft and unimpressive frame. He felt invincible, every ounce of self-doubt and insecurity evaporating in the face of his newfound strength and confidence.

As he continued to examine himself, the door to the laboratory swung open, and a female service agent walked in. She stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes widening in shock. There was a strange man who had broken into the FBI office. Edgar turned to face her, his new features displaying a calm assurance he had never possessed before.

"It's me, Edgar," he said, his voice deeper and more resonant than he remembered. "I... I drank the serum."

The agent's shock slowly turned to suspicion as she studied him. "You know this is a serious breach of protocol, right?" she said, her tone stern but not unkind.

"Yes, ma'am. But maybe it happened for a reason. Maybe I can help," Edgar replied, feeling a newfound boldness and blinding arrogance.

She looked him up and down, then sighed. "We do have a situation. There's a drug ring operating out of the Alpha Epsilon Pi frat at Georgetown, and we need someone to go undercover. They'd never suspect a new guy like you."

Edgar felt a thrill of excitement. He had the chance to prove himself, to show that he was more than just an intern. Now he was an undercover agent.

I dunno how many people know of this, but if anyone remembers the banger soundtracks of the first two Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games in the form of Rescue Team and Explorers, one of the main composers of those games, Arata Iiyoshi, has two albums up on his YouTube channel, one of which released just two months ago! He's also under the name of SHIN SOUND DESIGN and has done work (either composition or lyrics) for a decent chunk of Bemani's games such as Beatmania, Reflec Beat and pop'n music (under S.S.D.FANTASICA). Here's links to playlists of his albums as well as his store!

You're stuck with me now

Previous | Magic or Not Masterlist | Next

Synopsis: Carrying a curse for years, Joshua can not fall in love ever again. You, however, changed his thoughts on love all over again.

Pairing: Hong Joshua x fem!reader Word Count: 2.6k words Warnings! Abusive relationship (past), death

The elven kingdom, hidden far into the woods and unable to be reached if you didn't know it, was beautiful. The trees stood proudly, reaching for the skies and the sun could barely reach the ground through the leaves. Flowers bloomed that Joshua had never seen before in his life, not even from Flora, and the scent they emitted smelled like vanilla. When Joshua looked closer, he could also see the soft light that sprouted from the leaves.

Junhui was leading them down a path, loudly telling them to not wander off of it or they'd get lost. Thousands of creatures roamed around the area, which made it bit difficult to stay on the path for some. Wonwoo, for example, was so fascinated with his surroundings that he could barely keep his eyes away from the pages in his notebook, writing down everything that he saw. Both him and Wonwoo were here as Seungcheol's advocates, the man being unable to come by himself due to his new duties as the king-to-be. So Wonwoo came to talk to the elves about the truce while Joshua joined him for his own curiosity. As a healer, the elves were always some sort of inspiration as they were all great healers with their own unique methods and Junhui, unfortunately, didn't gain that knowledge.

"Come on!" Junhui whined loudly, pulling Joshua and Wonwoo along with him down the path. The boy was excited to see his family, Joshua couldn't blame him. He hadn't seen his family in person for years at this point, only through letters or spells could he talk to them and it was starting to take a toll on him. He missed them immensely, but he could only wish to see them again for the time being.

"Junhui! " A voice in the distance called out in elvish, but it was easily understood by the two non-elves as Junhui's name. The elf almost glowed as he saw his mother, running her way and throwing himself at her. She didn't seem to mind as she fell to the ground, landing softly in the moss beneath them as they laughed. Other elves started to gather, all glancing at Joshua and Wonwoo. The uneasiness in their eyes was clear, after all elves were not as social unless it was with animals.

Junhui was quick to explain to the others, words softly flowing from his lips as the elves listened carefully. One nodded before turning to the two, telling them to follow and they gladly did. They quickly reached the center of the kingdom, a city with in the middle a large tree with stairs leading up.

"That's at least a million stairs..." Wonwoo spoke, his eyes focused on the tree and his notebook long forgotten.

"Not a million. It's five thousand stairs in total, six thousand if you count the ones to the entrance of the palace." Jun replied and the pen in Wonwoo's hand clattered to the ground, making the squirrels around him flinch before scattering. Joshua was kind enough to pick it up, handing it back to Wonwoo before following Jun and the elder elf to the stairs. What he didn't expect was for the stairs to start moving the second he stepped on them. The stairs itself remained, but a sort of magic lifted him and started to ascent to the top floor.

"You didn't actually think we'd walk, right?" Jun asked with a bright smile, making his way up the stairs with glee. Joshua only shook his head as he started looking around again, pleasantly surprised with how different the view looked. Earlier it looked like a normal forest, but now it looked majestic. The light reflected everywhere, flowers were glowing and the animals were jumping around happily to a faint musical beat.

Arriving at the top, it was yet another marvelous sight. The branches went outwards, all covered in some kind of lights, and the leaves were some kind of golden color that reflected the light like a disco ball would. The doors were giant, life-like flowers and animals carved in to it that looked to good to be true. Inside was a giant room, the ceiling so high that it was barely visible and the throne itself massive as well. A woman sat on it, long dark hair and a crown resting right on top of her head with jewelry dangling down. She was majestic looking, a beauty that Joshua had never seen before.

Even then, however, Joshua's eyes were pulled from the queen to the other seat. You sat there, eyes focused on the man in front of the throne with crossed arms. The dress you wore was red and brown, flowing down your form elegantly and long sleeves hiding your hands. Horns peeked out from your hair, golden wires wrapped around them in beautiful patterns, and Joshua could also spot your tail besides your dress. You looked beautiful and Joshua wondered who you could possibly be, how important you were to sit besides an elvish queen.

"Like her, huh?" Junhui's voice rang out and Joshua gave the younger a short glare before glancing back your way. Wonwoo stepped closer, leaning down and asking who you were with his notebook ready.

"That's (Y/n), a Kirin. She's well respected around here, so don't offend her. Not that I think that's possible." Junhui laughed shortly before continuing. "She advises others, especially the queen. That is, when she's here. She travels a lot, helping people when she can. As a Kirin, she can heal any physical wound." This caught Joshua's attention the most, eyes moving back to you in bewilderment. If you could heal any wound, then...

"I can't heal that, unfortunately." A soft voice pulled Joshua from his thoughts, making him aware how all eyes had turned to him. You were still in your seat, but your eyes were fully on him and a kind smile was enough for Joshua to relax a bit. You stood up, making your way over to him before stopping when you stood right in front of him. Joshua was surprised at your height, even when you were only slightly taller than him. Then again, it shouldn't be surprising since most Kirins were 3 to 5 meters tall (between 10 and 16 feet tall). If anything, you were short since you only stood around 1.80 meters tall (5'9"). Nonetheless, you still looked ethereal to Joshua.

"Thank you." Your smile grew slightly and Joshua realized that you could read his thoughts, making him a bit self-conscious at what he was supposed to think. You gave a last smile before turning to Junhui, giving the elf a smile before patting his head softly.

"You've grown well in the past years." You smiled and it made Joshua wonder how old you were to say such a thing, especially since you looked around his age.

"I'm 24 years old, just like you indeed. I just haven't seen Jun since he was 13 and back then he was a little more..." You paused your sentence when you spotted Junhui's glare, chuckling to yourself softly before looking at Wonwoo. His eyes were on you as well, but you could hear all the questions and assumptions from inside his head. It made you dizzy, so you blocked the thoughts out of your mind and focused back on the two before you.

"Could we talk?" Your question was directed at Joshua and the man quickly agreed to this, wanting to ask you about what you had said earlier. So he followed you, back down the stairs and to a lovely home in the city. It was closed off from everyone else, but that seemed logical with your role here. Entering, Joshua was overwhelmed with the smell of roses and vanilla.

"I hope you don't mind those smells, it helps me clear my mind." You said and Joshua only replied with a 'I don't mind' before sitting down in a seat, thanking you for the tea that was placed in front of him.

"This is pu'er tea..." Joshua mumbled to himself, all too familiar with it thanks to Minghao's tea ceremonies that he always attended. You only smiled at him before nodding, sitting down opposite of him with your own cup.

"I can't heal magical wounds." You spoke and Joshua looked up, a bit of annoyance appearing in his eyes as his hand moved to his chest.

"How did it happen?" "I got cursed." Joshua was quick to reply, wincing at the painful memories. Not wanting to say anything, he just opened his mind and thought back to everything that had happened.

"You couldn't give up your friends..." You mumbled, eyes wide as you heard every detail of his life that he was willing to show.

A girl he loved and yet the same girl forced him to leave everyone he loved behind, to only have her for the rest of his life. He moved to the kingdom, away from his family and made new friends. Only for them to also be rejected by her. Days to weeks that he was forced to stay in a shabby house, chained to the wall by his wrists and forced to starve. Saved by the people he now called his soulmates, Jeonghan and Seungcheol. They brought him back, letting him see that what she gave him wasn't love in the slightest. She returned, breaking into his room to yell at him that she'd kill herself if he didn't return. True to her words, she shoved a dagger in her heart and cursed him with her final breaths.

You couldn't control the tears that slipped down your face, eyes moving to his wrists. Both covered in bracelets and now it seemed obvious to why he wore them. Gulping, you let your eyes move to his face again.

"That's enough, close your mind." You spoke softly and Joshua followed, blocking his thoughts and you nodded before getting up from your seat. You stepped closer to him, asking for permission to touch him. When he granted you that, you moved your hand to his shoulder and Joshua felt a relaxing energy run though his body. His worries washed away like they were nothing and for once in the last year, he actually felt relaxed.

"I might not be able to heal your mind with my magic, but I can help this much." You said as you walked back around to your seat to sit. Joshua only thanked you again before drinking his tea cup in one gulp. Joshua had hope when Junhui mentioned that you could help all wounds, but now that hope shattered just like it had when Jeonghan couldn't help him.

"Do you know her magic type? Born or learned, I mean." You asked and Joshua had to think about it for awhile. She had mentioned learning it, but he didn't know for certain anymore. Not wanting to think about her anymore, Joshua shut his mind once more and you held out your hand. Knowing what you meant, Joshua slowly let his hand touch yours and his body instantly reacted again.

"It's not a killing curse, I can sense that much." You explained, making Joshua open his eyes once more before slowly nodding. He knew that much, she had said so much when she cursed him.

"You'll be doomed when you love another."

"That's not very lady-like." A comment that normally would annoy you, now only made you chuckle. You had to admit that Joshua was right with his teasing, your skirt was pulled to your knees and the loose sleeveless top probably made you look very funny to others. You knew that Joshua only teased, however, as he came closer your way, you didn't even need your mind reading for that.

"Why are you out so late?" "Couldn't sleep..." You confessed and Joshua gave an empathic smile, sitting down on the bench as he looked to the stars. His eyes were drooping, but he refused to fall asleep. He didn't want to dream and Jihoon wasn't here, so there was no potion for him to not dream during sleep. So he'd stay awake until Jihoon returned and he'd scold the younger when he did for not make him some in advance.

You sat beside him, a bit closer than he expected you to sit, and softly sighed. Then you laid your head down on his shoulders, which made Joshua noticed that your horns had fallen off.

"It's normal, don't worry. It's like shedding." You were quick to explain, making Joshua nod in relief. His eyes remained on the stars for a few more seconds until he heard soft snores from you, only making a smile appear on his face as he laid his head on yours. Soon enough, he too fell asleep underneath the stars.

Joshua didn't expect to see you, not so early in the morning and certainly not during his meeting with Seungcheol. Yet you were, running in with the brightest smile and a paper held tightly in your hand. Joshua recognized it easily as a document of someone, but it wasn't until he read the name that he realized whose.

"She learned sorcery." You stated, which caused to room to go quiet as all waited for an explanation. Jihoon did seem to get it, patting Joshua on the back softly.

"You're not cursed, you haven't been since she died." You explained softly and that was something that everyone gasped at. Joshua got up slowly, walking your way and grabbing the paper from your hand, skimming over the letters before looking back up at you.

"I'm not cursed..." He softly mumbled before a smile appeared on his face, brighter than you had ever seen before. Then you were suddenly lifted off the ground, spun around by Joshua as he laughed freely. When your feet touched the ground again, you didn't have a chance to say anything as you were suddenly kissed. Joshua seemed to realize seconds later and pulled back, staring at you for a couple of seconds before dropping his hands. You just smiled at him, pecking his lips softly before turning to the boys.

"Sorry to interrupt you guys, I'll take my leave now." You said and the others laughed, shaking their heads.

"Take Joshua with you, he won't concentrate anymore!" Jeonghan yelled and Joshua took his shot, winking at his friend before dragging you out of the room. His smile didn't disappear, if anything it only grew brighter with every step he took. The walk to the garden wasn't for, not with how fast the two of you were running, and when you reached it, Joshua pulled you down to the ground. Sitting between thousands of flowers made you smile, liking how pretty they looked and the smell they gave off was relaxing.

"Stay with me. Don't leave, please." Joshua pleaded and you could hear the soft anxiety in his voice, one that only made your heart ache. Raising your hands to his face, you softly placed a kiss on his forehead.

"I won't leave you, ever. I'll travel to the elven kingdom from time to time, but I'll always come back to you. I can't and I won't leave you." You confessed to him, hoping that your sincerity was clear enough to make his worries disappear. Leaning his head in your hand, he nodded shortly and let out a sigh. He believed you, he wanted too. So he'd trust you for now and hoped that you would stay true to your word.

"I will." You promised again, kissing him a final time on the lips before giving him a reassuring smile.

"You're stuck with me from now on."
