## Lore

Grucci Nishikino (the character) is a combination of Gru from Despicable Me and Maki Nishikino from Love-Live!. These two were combined, or rather the correct term *Mashed-Up* by the *Kaleidoskull.* Grucci Nishikino was given the name of Grucci by Vectori Minase after *the* *Ultimate mashdown of Ultimate Destiny* took place. Grucci and Vectori would fuse with Nature Tapes creating Nature Japes. Nature Japes would overpower Ceil Cusierega who was known as Citrus Maashurr during the final fight. At the end of it all Grucci Nishikino would revert back into their two separate beings, Maki Nishikino and Gru.
