==Strategy==
Due to the difficulty of this stage, it is recommended to just use a Treasure Radar on the first stage for most players who just want Akuma Giraffe.
The boss of the stage, Akuma, is a Black enemy with massive range, fast attacks, some piercing range that allows him to push harder and high health, making him a tough opponent to beat. This combination of factors make most units unusable against him. The main notable exceptions are rusher units, notably Immortal Yukimura, who can get into his range between attacks and take away a good chunk of Akuma's health. Tanks such as King Gamereon, Immortal Keiji, or, if possible, Doktor Heaven in her Normal Form can also do a good job stalling and chipping away at the boss's health. Additionally, Musashi Miyamoto, if you are lucky enough to have him, can tank a lot of Akuma's hits and has ridiculously high anti-black DPS, meaning that two or three of him can make short work of Akuma.
Although extremely difficult to do properly, you could freeze Akuma and pray he stays frozen using Bombercat. Freeze Up and Speed Up Combos are mandatory for players without good timing, so bring enough along for Bombercat to perma-freeze the boss. Once a Bombercat is getting close to Akuma, use the Thunderbolt Cannon to freeze it, so Bomber has a chance to get in. It would be ideal if Akuma was by his base, so he won't get knocked out of Bomber's range when reached by the attackers tasked with killing him. Alternatively, this can be done with Piccolan Pasalan, but be aware that he is not reliable here due to his cost of 4,500¢ and low uptime, further worsened by the more reliable domination of Bombercat and the rate at which the enemies push here. Immortal Nobunaga, if timed well, can make this stage trivial, being able to permafreeze Akuma and having high enough HP to tank a hit. If freezing does not work, using Cats that dodge Black enemies can help hold back the enemies, such as Talented Flying Ninja Cat.
===Strategy 1===
Lineup: Some Attack Up and/or Massive Damage Up Combos (Midsummer Sun + Sister Act, for example), Pizza Cat (wave talent recommended), Manic Mohawk, Manic Eraser, Cyberpunk Cat and Fishman Cat. As for the cannon, pick Breakerblast (regular cannon if you do not have it, but you may need a Sniper the Cat item).
Note: It is important that the meatshields do not hold on for too long, so avoid replacing them with Nono if you have her.
Battle: Start by summoning some Manic Erasers to stall, along with a single Pizza Cat. Try to neither push nor get pushed, so you can stall for as long as possible and get the worker to max level. Also add Cyberpunk as soon as you have him available and, if you wish to bring him, Sniper the Heavy/Deadeye too, but he makes the stage a bit harder until there are two total in battle. Once the first wave is about over, start spamming meatshields and Pizza. After Akuma comes out, you will need to wait for his peons to push through enough of your meatshields for Pizza Cat to kill them, hopefully with just a hit (2 for the Dark Otters). If Pizza lands a wave, there is a chance that Akuma will walk into it for free damage. Once the Dark Otters come back to the front and receive a second hit, summon Fishman for damage on Akuma and keep spamming, but also use the Breakerblast on Akuma directly to undo his progress. Repeat until you win.
