Wakfu: The Animated Series or simply Wakfu is an anime-influenced French animated television series produced by Ankama Animation, based on the video game Dofus. The first season of 26 episodes began airing on 30 October 2008, and new episodes would continue to air into January 2010 on France 3. The series is directed by Anthony "Tot" Roux, and character design is handled by Xavier "Xa" Houssin and Kim "Tcho" Etinoff.

A successful Kickstarter campaign to produce an English-language dub of the series was launched in January 2014. There were two prior English dub attempts. The first two episodes were shown for the first time in English during the 2009 London MCM Expo; this dub pilot is believed to have been recorded in France by expats, many of whom previously worked on the English version of Code Lyoko. A second English dub pilot recorded by Ocean Studios was shown at Anime Expo in 2011.

The third season of the series premiered in France on September 2, 2017. Season 3 premiered on Netflix worldwide on April 6, 2018. The release was originally planned for April 1, but was delayed to avoid conflicts with the Easter holiday weekend and the respective holiday event in the Wakfu game.

On May 7, 2020, Ankama announced that season 4 would premiere in early 2024, intended as the final chapter of the story, and a Kickstarter campaign to fund its production was launched on June 8, 2020. On January 16, 2024, Ankama announced that season 4 will be released on February 9, 2024.

Characters

Main

Left to right: Evangelyne, Sir Percedal of Sadlygrove, Yugo, Ruel Stroud, and Princess Amalia Sheran Sharm

The Brotherhood of the Tofu

Yugo

Voiced by: Fanny Bloc (French); Jules de Jongh (Season 1-2 & OVAs), Erika Harlacher (Season 3), Crystal Lopez (Season 4) (English)

Yugo is a 12-year-old (13-year-old in season 2, 14-year-old in manga, 19-year-old in special episodes, and 20 to 23 -year-old in seasons 3-4) Eliatrope who recently discovered his powers, and is on a mission to find his true family. He has lived with his adoptive father Alfired, working alongside him at his inn, and has no memories of his real family. He has the ability to summon teleportation portals by rotating his hand in a circular motion and throwing them to where he would like to appear. As the series progresses, he learns other abilities, such as moving at high speeds and creating beams from his portals. Near the end of Season Two, it's revealed that he is the King of the Eliatropes. In the Special Episodes following the second season, Yugo is shown to have not aged in 6 years since the quest of the Crimson Claws, a fact that depresses him as he wishes to be able to court Amalia, but fears that his childlike appearance would hinder any chance of a serious relationship with her. The finale shows Yugo is able to utilize the 6 Eliatrope Dofus to attain godly power in an effort to defeat Ogrest but doing so costs him his brother's friendship and nearly destroys the world.

In Season 3, it is shown that Yugo and Ruel have been trying to find Adamaï everywhere, to no avail. When Adamaï, using their psychic link, shows Yugo the seeming death of Percedal, Yugo rushes to help his friend, still unable to believe his brother could be capable of such evil. It's later revealed that his actions brought about the birth of the season's antagonist, Oropo, who is an evil counterpart of Yugo. During the final battle with Oropo, joined by Percedal and a now realized Adamaï, he and his friends are last seen in the realm of the gods. Yugo is Elely & Flopin's surrogate big brother.

Az

A "Tofu" (bird) that is always seen by Yugo's side.

Princess Amalia Sheran Sharm

Voiced by: Adeline Chetail (French); Jessica Bell (Season 1-2 & OVAs), Christine Marie Cabanos (Season 3) (English)

Known as the Adventurer-Princess, she is a 13-year-old (14-year-old in season 2, 15-year-old in manga, 20-year-old in special episodes and 23-year-old in seasons 3-4) Sadida. Because of this, she is able to talk to plants as well as control them. She is devoted to her friends and to helping Yugo find his family. Later, near the end of season one, it is revealed that she dislikes and has many disputes with her brother Armand. The Special Episodes 6 years after season two show Amalia has taken her mother's position as Queen of the Sadida and her forced marriage to Count Harebourg of Frigost begins the story. Though she initially accepts his proposal, she avoids the agreement after learning the Count planned to use the Sadida forests as a fuel source for his kingdom. By the finale, Amalia and Yugo have shown a strong desire to be with each other, in spite of the difficulties caused by the difference in their races. As of Season 3, Amalia has withdrawn from society and rarely leaves her sick father's side, but agrees to leave to look for Percedal with Yugo when he comes asking for help. The strain of their relationship is tested throughout their adventure. By the end of the final battle, Amalia hugs Yugo who returns it with a kind smile.

Sir Percedal of Sadlygrove (also nicknamed Dally in the English dub), (Messire Tristepin de Percedal, lit. Sir Sadlygrove of Percedal; renamed Pinpin (Grovy) in French)

Voiced by: Thomas Guitard (French); Ross Grant (Season 1-2 & OVAs), Kyle McCarley (Season 3), Anthony Heider (Season 4) (English)

A 16-year-old (17-year-old in season 2, 18-year-old in manga, 23-year-old in special episodes and 26-year-old in seasons 3-4) lop who was born on October 12, Percedal is a "Knight of the Order of the Guardians of Shushus", entrusted with the guardianship of the demon-sword Rubilax. He acts brave but foolhardy and is a strong fighter. As a Guardian, Percedal is responsible for making sure Rubilax does not escape its sword prison and possess its owner, or others, though when he is possessed by Rubilax he becomes a monster that is incredibly physically strong. He is questing with Yugo as repayment for Yugo's rescuing him from Rubilax's possession. As the series progresses, he falls in love with Evangelyne and she with him, which later leads to them getting married. He becomes a father to twins, Elely and Flopin in the Special episodes and is revealed to be the reincarnation of the Iop God, but he chooses to leave his powers during the fight with Ogrest when he loses his right arm. In Season 3, Percedal is living with Eva and their two children, training Elely (who is more Iop-ish and like her father) in the art of fighting. When assassins attack them to steal the children and a pregnant Eva, Percedal and his family fight them off but when Adamai shows up, he is no match for him. Dropped off a cliff, Percedal almost dies and makes a deal with Rubilax to release him if he helps him save his family. While he fought to save Evangelyne and Flopin, he is forced to fight his former master as the replacement Iop God chosen by Oropo.

Rubilax

Voiced by: Gérard Surugue (French); Keir Stewart (Season 1-2 & OVAs), Doug Erholtz (Season 3), Donald Guzzi (Season 4) (English)

A Shushu trapped inside of Percedal's sword. He is obsessed with destruction and lends strength to any being he possesses. He is usually in the form of a dagger but can grow to the size of a longsword. His true form is a knee-high demon, however, he is still incredibly strong for his size and grows bigger every time he is hit. Rubilax can also create a small army of strong clay warrior-clones. As his time with the Brotherhood progresses, he eventually grows attached to the group, enough so to rebel against his own kind. In Season 3, Adamai shatters the sword, damaging Rubilax. As Percedal lays dying, Rubilax makes a deal with him to release the Shushu after he helps him save his family - turning into Percedal's missing right arm, able to take any shape. However, Ruel notes that upon their Guardian's death a Shushu would be released, hinting that Rubilax made the deal to save Percedal's life.

Evangelyne

Voiced by: Geneviève Doang (French); Jules de Jongh (Season 1-2 & OVAs), Kira Buckland (Season 3) (English)

A 17-year-old (18-year-old in season 2, 19-year-old in manga, 24-year-old in special episodes and 27-year-old in seasons 3-4) Cra, Evangelyne is accompanying the Sadida princess Amalia as a bodyguard. She is committed to her job but also acts as an older sister to the young Amalia. She wields a bow that can fire a variety of magic arrows, making a quiver unnecessary. At first, she shows no attraction to Percedal but as the series progresses she admits that she loves him and starts a family with him by the time of the Special Episodes, marrying him at the end. In Season 3, it is revealed that Eva is pregnant and living with Percedal and their two children, Elely and Flopin. When assassins attack them, she fights back but she and Flopin are captured and taken by Adamai. Before the final battle, she is forced to give birth and, with help from Echo and Flopin, she safely gives birth to a second son, one whose powers were a threat to Oropo throughout the remainder of the season.

Ruel Stroud

Voiced by: Patrick Bethune (Season 1-3 & OVAs), Xavier Fagnon (Season 4) (French); Hugo Chandor (Season 1-2 & OVAs), Keith Silverstein (Season 3) (English)

Ruel is an old friend of Yugo's adoptive father Alibert, as well as a treasure- and bounty-hunter known as an Enutrof. As a favor to Alibert, Ruel agrees to accompany Yugo on his travels. Ruel is greedy and stingy. He is skilled as a fighter and is committed to seeing Yugo through the trouble. Ruel wields a gold-plated shovel as a weapon. In season 3, it's revealed he's a demi-god son of Enutrof and targeting by the Siblings into joining their group, much like Sadlygrove's and Evangelyne's kids. Also, he has an estranged wife, Arpagone, who is with the Siblings. Ruel is a grandfather-figure to Yugo, whom Ruel named his intended heir to his fortune.

Junior

A pig-like mole creature called a dhreller, which are said to be usual pets of Enutrofs. When he started to tag along, Ruel would try to drive it away. It is later revealed it is because after the death of his first drheller, Kamasu-Tar, he did not wish to have another one. It isn't until he saves Ruel from a Sadida prison that Ruel starts to show a liking to him, and now he is regularly by his side. Ruel later teaches him how to identify minerals through tasting rocks and tracks.

Elely and Flopin

Elely voiced by: Caroline Lallau (French); Jules de Jongh (OVAs), Cristina Valenzuela (Season 3) (English)

Flopin voiced by: Karl-Line Heller (French); Julie-Ann Dean (OVAs), Marcy Edwards (Season 3) (English)

The twin children of Sir Percedal of Sadlygrove and Evangelyne, Elely is the daughter and is as wild and unpredictable as her father, while Flopin is the son and is as calm and cool as his mother, and is equally skilled with a wrist-mounted crossbow. When their parents and the other members of the Brotherhood were held hostage by Count Harebourg, they stormed the palace to rescue them. Flopin used his mom's bow to help free the Brotherhood while Elely merged with Rubilax to give them a fighting chance, with their fighting skills impressing their parents. After the climactic battle Yugo and Percedal have with Ogrest, and after Ogrest returned to a normal baby ogre, Elely was the first person in ages to make friends with him. In Season 3, the kids have grown slightly. Elely is a lot like her father, training hard and is shown to be able to defeat an opponent many time her size "using her head" - for pummeling them to submission. Flopin is the more reserved and bookish of the kids, being more like his mother. He ends up captured alongside her by Adamai but both later escape and they reunite with the rest of their family.

Secondary characters

Following the Special Episodes, Adamaï has severed ties with Yugo and the Brotherhood, after Yugo attacked him in order to utilize the Eliatrope Dofus to challenge Ogrest. His current whereabouts are unknown, except that he is now allied with the Forgotten Brotherhood, led by Lady Echo. In Season 3, it is revealed that Adamai joined Lady Echo's brotherhood of other god-offsprings, and now has a more adult looking half-humanoid, half-dragon form. He also stole the six Eliatrope Dofus from Goultard and attached them to his back, gaining incredible powers - he effortlessly defeats Percedal and tosses him off a cliff, sharing the scene via a mind-like with Yugo. He is after Percedal's kids, them being offspring of a god as well, so they can join the Brotherhood. However, after realizing that Oropo's plan involved letting the Elia Cube absorb the Dofu eggs, transforming it into a bomb powerful enough to destroy the worlds, Adamai betrays Oropo and sides with Yugo to fight back.

The Council of Six

The leading faction of the Eliatrope race, composed of the six First Born Eliatropes and their Dragon twin siblings. Virtually immortal, these Eliatropes and Dragons never truly die, but reincarnate continuously from their shared Dofus. Each pair held an important post in Eliatrope society but fluctuated often between protecting, guiding and teaching their people. Chibi and Grougalorogran were poets, prophets, and inventors. Chibi was also the first king of the Eliatropes. Mina and Phaeris were priests and diplomats, known for resolving conflicts that emerged among the people. Chibi and Mina were also secret lovers. Yugo and Adamai were great explorers and warriors, charged with protecting the Eliatropes and leading them in battle. Yugo also succeeded Chibi as king. Nora and her brother Efrim were channelers, able to speak directly to the great goddess Eliatrope, the source of all Wakfu. Glip and his brother Baltazaar were teachers and loremasters, responsible for instructing Eliatropes young in all areas of life, including combat. Qilby and his sister Shinanome were the wisest of the First Born, both of them blessed with an eternal memory of all their past incarnations, unlike their other siblings. They served loyally for many years, but Qilby was eventually driven mad by boredom (as his eternal memory prevented him from re-experiencing life through his reincarnations) and rebelled, forcing a bloody campaign against a mechanoid race known as the Mechasme that nearly led to the extinction of the Eliatrope race before Yugo and Phaeris were able to imprison Qilby for his crimes. Apart from this, the First Born are shown to be capable of immense power and judging by the special episodes, aged at a far slower rate than their peers.

Antagonists

Nox

Voiced by: Benjamin Pascal (French); Arthur Bostrom (Season 1), Kaiji Tang (Season 3) (English)

The main villain of the first season. A Xelor born on 12 of October, with twisted and obsessive motives. At the beginning of season one, he encounters Grougaloragran in the guise of a human and is initially surprised by his high levels of Wakfu, Nox is swiftly immobilized and has since been searching for Grougaloragran on his travels, as well as any other large sources of Wakfu to absorb. Nox quickly proves to be a dangerous enemy and often speaks with an insane-sounding giggle at the end of each sentence. It is revealed early on that he needs a large quantity of Wakfu for an item known as the Eliacube, which in his insanity, he believes is alive, and that it speaks to him. He plans to use the Wakfu to go back in time and undo a great wrong that he has done, where because of this he sees everything he does at this present time as reversible and doesn't hesitate to kill anyone in his way, eventually going after the Tree of Life; however, killing the Tree of Life, would effectively wipe out the entire Sadida race as They share the same life-force as the Tree. He appears to have had a family at one time, as evidenced by his constant mention of them. In the end, despite absorbing Wakfu for over 200 years he was only able to go back 20 minutes in time; and upon discovering this he falls to his knees and grieves at the fact he will never be able to save his family. His last words are a farewell to Yugo before teleporting away...No longer supported by the Eliacube, or Nox's will to live, his body withers and turns to dust by his family's grave.

His past was revealed in a special episode, where he used to be a kind well muscular father figure named Noximilien Coxen with a flair for inventing and great skills as a Horologist. He was a good father and loved his wife and children more than anything, but was depressed at the fact he could not provide financially for his family, often having to negotiate with a man over his debt. While playing with his family on the beach, Igol runs away and discovers the cave that held the Eliacube. Noximilien takes it to his workshop and tinkers with it, amazed at the possibilities the device has, he becomes obsessed with researching the cube to the point of abandoning everything else. His health deteriorates and he hints that he no longer sleeps; these serve to degrade his body to a skeletal state. His family also leaves him; by the time he leaves his workshop to present his work to his wife, his home is shown to be barren and dilapidated, and a note shows that his wife has moved to live with her sister, telling him to come join them if he's ever ready. Before he receives the chance, he is told they have perished in a flood in their new home. In a desperate state, he plunges deeper into his research, seeking a means to turn back time and correct his mistake. This obsession drives him increasingly insane, eventually creating the main antagonist seen in the Wakfu series. With his past revealed, becomes more of a sympathetic villain.

He and season 2 villain Qilby return in Season 3 as a phantom that torments Yugo psyche.

Marama, Frisco, and Tartufo (I, II and III)

Three of Nox's minions, which he refers to as his "favorites." They are first seen during his fight with Grougaloragran and...although their exact nature is unknown, they appear to be a mummified Cra, Feca, and Sacrier, and possess most of those classes' respective powers. They are all destroyed in the final battle. Defeated by Adamaï and Yugo, Marama is finally destroyed by Raze-time; Frisco and Tartufo are destroyed by Amalia.

Weedkilios

A Sadida analog to I, II, and III. Much of his apparent bulk seems to come from his wood armor. he is frozen by Evangelyne and destroyed by Amalia.

XII Raze-time

Igole

Nox's pet Bow Wow that can travel at extremely fast speeds (most likely given to him by his control collar) and has the ability to run on water to get from island to island when traveling over-sea. He can also inhale so deeply that he creates a vacuum. It is revealed Igole was previously a pet owned by a little girl who is later revealed to have been Nox's daughter, who drowned due to Ogrest's tears along with the rest of his family. A little Osamoda girl named Lotie that resembled her caused Igole to change his ways, and soon he was freed from Nox's control and now lives with her. She also calls him Crazy-Eyes. He once appeared to be a normal dog, but after being mutated by the Eliacube, he appears to be a bug-eyed hyena-like creature.

Qilby

Voiced by: Erik Colin (Season 2), Laurent Morteau (Seasons 3-4) (French); Arthur Bostrom (Season 2), Joe Ochman (Season 3) (English)

An elderly eliatrope and member of the Council of Six, set free from his imprisonment unintentionally by Yugo. He acts as an ally and uses his knowledge of their species to manipulates Yugo into seeking the Dofus of his dragon sister, Shinonome. Qilby's true plan is to steal back the Eliacube and drain the Wakfu of the planet to power his ship to explore the Krozmos with his brothers and sisters.

Qilby is revealed to have once been imprisoned in an empty, timeless dimension by a previous incarnation of Yugo as punishment for betrayal. It was Qilby who orchestrated a war with a robotic species called the Mechasms, resulting in the deaths of many eliatropes and the need for them to abandon their original world. Cunning and conniving, Qilby nearly succeeds but is defeated by a combined effort by Yugo, the last remaining eliatrope children, and the unborn Shinonome. Separated from the Eliacube, he is imprisoned in the same timeless dimension by Yugo.

Prior to Qilby's defeat, he reveals that unlike the rest of his siblings, Shinonome and he do not lose their memories upon reincarnation, and instead have perfect recollection of all Eliatrope history. After many millennia, the weariness of living without novelty drove Qilby to desperation bordering madness, and he used the war to help his people advance into space. Qilby holds a high regard for his species and even his siblings, in spite of his antagonistic actions nearly wiping them all out.

A skeletal jackal-like Shushu with the power to copy the ability of anyone he touches. Originally a bound prisoner, he was released by his guardian and refused to be unsummoned. After being accidentally freed by the Brotherhood of Tofu, Remington releases him to distract the heroes; he quickly realizes this is a bad idea. Yugo uses his portal magic to attack Anathar, which he is then able to use much more powerfully than Yugo, such as generating a hundred portals at once. Through his actions, it would seem this power has a time limit for how long he can use it. He participates in the final battle in possing Adamaï against Yugo, but he is betrayed and threatened of destruction by Qilby, he decides to leave him to take care of Adamai and Yugo, Qilby accepts and kills Anathar He, Rubilax and Ombrage are the only Shushus who did not return to Rushu's realm.

After being defeated, her guardian swears never to fall for her tricks again. She returns in season 2 as an ally of Rubilax.

The Brotherhood of the Forgotten/The Siblings

The main antagonists of season 3. A secret Guild where all the members are demigods or children of Dragons, thus they are semi-immortal. Their stated goal is to replace their parents and become the new gods of the World of Twelve, believing that the gods don't care about them and that the world has become horribly corrupt under their rule. They threw down the gauntlet against the Brotherhood of Tofu in Season 3 because their leader, Oropo, desires both the Percedal family children and Ruel to join their new pantheon. Furthermore, he has an unspecified need for Yugo's help as well in his plan. To that end, he is using the weaknesses and doubts in the characters to try to bring them to his side. However, later episodes reveal that not everyone in The Siblings fully trusts their leader and some begin to move on their own.

Oropo

Voiced by: Franck Lorrain (French); Christopher Corey Smith (Season 3), Roly Gutierrez (Season 4 & Special) (English)

The owl-masked leader that believes that the current gods are lazy and selfish, and wants to usurp them alongside The Siblings. 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. He also follows the principles of the end justifying the means, and that sacrifice is necessary for change.

He to be the last of the Eliotropes. Once his identity is revealed, he shows a dark version side of himself. He identifies the same traits in Yugo and longs to replace him and be the "real" Yugo. 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. 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 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, able to bend time and space in the creation of his multi-dimensional tower of dreams. Furthermore, he has somehow gained possession of the Eliacube which can make its user as strong as a god. He is also able to enter people's minds through the cracks of their doubts and fears. When his people, the Eliotrope, dies, their Wakfu would transfer into Oropo, making him hold all the Wakfu of his once dead race.
