Aku Reincarnation (Merciless)

Aku Reincarnation (Merciless) is an Advent Stage appearing on the 11th, 12th, 25th, and 26th of every month if Mount Aku/Mount Fuji has been cleared. When clearing the stage, there is a chance to unlock Calligraphy Cat. This is a No Continues stage.

==Strategy==
The main strategy used for this stage is to kill Nimoy Bore, Puffington and Chickful A quickly, while using this opportunity to damage the boss. Once these enemies are gone, Sathankamun VIII is no longer a threat and can be taken down safely.
Due to how cash tight and aggressive this stage can get, it is recommended to use a Rich Cat, Sniper the Cat and the Breakerblast Cannon.
The Aku Altar adds extra difficulty here, so beating more stages in The Aku Realms if not clearing it outright really helps make this stage more manageable.
===Recommended Units===
*Slime - Produces wave attacks frequently when used well on Cerberus Kids, allowing it to consistently deal heavy damage to Chickful A, Sathankamun, Nimoy Bore and Puffington. However, the damage can unintentionally reset Puffington's attack animation.
*Seafarer/Chill/talented Can Can - Used to fight Nimoy Bore at the beginning and quickly kill it so you can secure as much ground as possible.
*Awakened Bahamut - Somewhat of a last resort option, Bahamut is very difficult to use, but can be rewarding if he manages to hit Chickful A or Puffington at least once, taking almost a quarter of their health.
*Bullet Train - Well-timed Bullet Trains should be used to specifically damage Chickful A so you have an easier time with Puffington.
*Stone and Manic Eraser - Manic Eraser is obviously useful, but once the pressure grows Stone (due to having extreme health and Slow Immunity) will be needed to stop enemies from gaining too much ground.
*Cyberpunk - Used to slow the boss and other enemies occasionally, giving you a little more breathing room.
*Idi - One of the best responses to Puffington, the most annoying enemy in this stage, Idi at level 40 deals enough damage to kill him in two hits. If timed well such as Puffington is ahead and she gets to land a second hit, the rest of the stage is much easier.
*Doron - Doron is able to disable Puffington for several seconds. The surge does enough damage to actually knock him back, kill Cerberus Kids and chip other enemies. It also exposes Chickful A and puts her in the line of fire for your attackers to hit.
=== Recommended Ubers: ===
* Sanada Yukimura - As you probably expect, a level where A. Bahamut does well is a level where Yukimura does well.
* Gravolodon - Gravolodon is a perfect unit for this level. With its strong wave attacks, cheap cost, fast recharge, anti alien abilities, high base hp, and even a defense combo with Green Shell Cat, Gravolodon can function as a defensive slime cat that can take care of Nimoy Bore, can deal great chip damage, and can survive for a good amount of time.
* Kai - While there are no shields in the level, kai still does great at staying on the field for a while and dealing loads of damage to the boss. It also has a defense combo with Sumo Cat, which helps with the battle overall.
* Garu - Another great unit for this level, he is a useful tanker and a weak wave attacker for every enemy except for puffington. Just make sure you send him out after the first puffington, as puffington renders him useless with curse.
* Other uber suggestions are Anti Angel/Aku rushers/nukers, Generalist tanks, generalist rushers, and durable wave attackers.

==Trivia==
*Rashomon is the name of a Noh play, a fallen gate, a short story and, most famously, an Akira Kurosawa film.
*There is a mistake on the English event poster, where it says you need to beat Clionel Dominant, when in reality you need to beat Mount Aku instead.
