Kuromukuro (geoframe)

*Were you looking for info on the anime called Kuromukuro?*

***Kuromukuro*** ("Black Relic"; also known as the "Black Grongol") is a large, two-seat geoframe unearthed near the Kurobe Dam along with a black cube. It is code-named "Giant" by the UN forces.*[citation needed]* Apparently only Kennosuke Tokisada Ouma can operate it, but for some reason Yukina Shirahane is able to function as "navigator" in its second seat.

Along with the The Cube and pieces of the Pivot Stone, *Kuromukuro* is considered an Artifact.

The Efi Dorg sometimes call this geoframe *"Grongol"*.*[citation needed]*

Vorpal Axe

Vorpal Axe is one of the more memorable weapons in the game dating back to 2002.  However, in recent times, it has fallen behind and other items has risen in its place.

With the removal of the axe from the Travelling Sales Man, it is an extremely rare drop from Dark Monks and boss monsters.  It is recommended that if you are a returning and would like to relive the nostalgia, the Twisted Dagger is the most comparable item in the current weapon list to the Vorpal Axe.

If you can’t obtain a Vorpal Axe for leveling, it is wise to look for or create a Fire Axe using a Fire Stone as it does more damage against cold monsters.
Orcus

Orcus is the objectively second strongest boss in Dransik, He is on Island of Dread and spawns frequently. His placeholder spawn is a Balron.

He drops the best weapon in the game, along with other notable items.

Strategies

Solo: If you want to kill him solo, check around the entrance on the right side mountain and drag any Hell Spawns away from it, and kill them. Go inside now and see if he is up, if he is drag him to the entrance of the cave, and run in and out hitting him each time, don't attempt to tank him or run around. Drag, and kill monsters away from both entrances as needed.

“A Rain of Ogres from the Sky”
鬼の降る空 / Oni no Furu Sora

## Plot synopsis

Hiromi Shirahane, Director of the nearby U.N. Research Institute is told by a teacher that her daughter Yukina Shirahane is failing and has few career prospects, but she blames the school for the poor grades. In her rush back to work, Hiromi leaves her phone at the school. Yukina tries to return it to her before she flies off in a helicopter, but is forced to go to the laboratory to return it. After school, Yukina and Mika Ogino go to the Research Institute near Kurobe Dam where their parents work. Meanwhile the Ministry of Defense detects a meteor-like object heading for Japan that breaks up and pieces fall between Nagano and Toyama. Yukina daydreams of when she was little girl and her father told her that demons would return to earth. Mr. Aramata shows her a large black cube and a gigantic mecha type object found while excavating for the dam 60 years ago. At that moment, one of the pieces from space crashes near the U.N. Research Institute and a large number of small mecha attack the facility followed by one huge rose-colored mecha. The facility sends one-man battle units to fight them and Director Hiromi Shirahane authorizes two GAUS units to fight the huge mecha. Yukina touches a glowing red section on the cube which springs open, revealing a naked young man, Kennosuke Tokisada Ouma. He kneels before her and calls her princess. He then attacks and defeats one of the small mecha that entered the building while the two GAUS units manage to defeat the huge mecha outside. Kennosuke is then shot with a tranquilizer dart by security guards.

Epilogue: GAUS (Gravity Attenuated Upright Shell) units are 19.4 meter tall two-seater mecha operated by a pilot and navigator.

再会は水に流れて / Saikai wa Mizu ni Nagarete

## Plot synopsis

Efi Dorg fighters, Muetta and Mirasa, arrive at Kurobe Dam. Ogino and the school group travel to find a location to film her cosplay. She has asked Marina along to lift her spirits after she tendered her resignation because of the Efi Dorg attack at the school's cultural festival. The UN plans for Sophie's departure for France and trial single-pilot GAUS units to increase their capacity to deal with the enemy geoframes, but with mixed success. Kennosuke and Sophie discuss the meaning of freedom. Meanwhile, Muetta and Mirasa gain entry to the UN facility. They capture Kennosuke, who still believes that Muetta is Princess Yukihime, but she denies knowing him. They find the excavation site with the final fragments of the Pivot Stone. Confronted by UN troops, Kennosuke tries to defend Muetta, but Sophie says that he is foolish, and vows to stay at the facility. As they are about to leave, Mirasa stabs Muetta so that she can take sole credit for the discovery. Muetta jumps from the dam wall into the rushing waters below.

The **Efi Dorg** (sometimes known as "Efi Dolgh" or "Efy Dolgh" and seen as "efidolg" in subtitling) are the aliens who have come to dominate the Earth after they reassemble the Pivot Stone. They sent a small group known as the Gezon-Reco Frontier Force to do reconnaissance of Earth and to recover, re-assemble, and activate the Pivot Stone to enable a full scale invasion.

Pilot

The **pilot** is a primary operational position in most geoframes. This role was primarily to fight and move the geoframe. In *Kuromukuro* and the first generation GAUS units, navigators were responsible for monitoring sensors and activating certain functions that required manual intervention beyond the instrumental availability of the pilot.

The *Kuromukuro* and first generation GAUS units required both a pilot and a navigator to fully operate. The 2nd generation GAUS 3 units could be fully operated with only a pilot.

He escapes custody again, but Sophie Noelle tackles him and he is subdued by UN forces activating a collar around his neck.
