Neco-Arc

## Appearance

Unlike other characters from this game, this quite literally is just Neco-Arc from the anime. As such no theories or explanation on the appearance is needed and all other questions can be deferred to the lore section of this article.

## Mechanics

Neco-Arc has a 1 in 40 chance to appear when the right office door is opened and make her iconic sound. Neco-Arc cannot attack the player and it is safe to leave the door open if she is there.

## Lore

### Tsukihime

Neco-Arc accompanies Ciel-sensei during the "Teach Me, Ciel-sensei!" segments after the player reaches a bad end.

### Fate/tiger colosseum Upper

### Carnival Phantasm & Fate/Grand Carnival

Neco-Arc (Mysterious Neco X in *Grand Carnival*) and her fellow Neco Spirits run Ahnenerbe, the strange coffee shop that once every ten years allows worlds to converge. Each episode begins with a short skit of them at Ahnenerbe, which ends with the Neco Spirits turning to the camera and declaring "It's starting!" before the opening credits play.

### Melty Blood Back Alley Alliance Nightmare

Lev Lainur Flauros finds himself stuck living with Neco-Arc and Neco-Arc Chaos, and regretfully needs their help to return to his own timeline.

### Other Appearance

She also makes appearances in the stop-motion extras at the start of the Kara no Kyoukai movies.

TYPE-MOON has announced two fake films as April Fools' Day jokes. The first was *Neco-Arc The Movie*, and the second was *Neco-Arc Evolution*. *Evolution* was produced by "Twentieth Century Cats" and its theme song was "Neco Illusion 2009." She also appears in Carnival Phantasm where she usually is the one who starts the show-off.

In *Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!!*, in the 30th Chapter of the Manga and the 12th Episode of the Anime series, Illyasviel von Einzbern is seen wearing a Neco-Arc pajamas.

### Abilities

Neco-Arc is the second strongest character in the Nasuverse after Magical Amber. Taiga Fujimura would obviously lose to Neco-Arc. She is twice as strong as Arcueid, but she is weaker than Berserker because cats only have nine lives compared to his twelve.

All of her techniques are extremely powerful like "Dead Neco-ning" and many more, able to destroy everything in her path. Her eye beams are called the "True Ancestor Beam", a "vaguely familiar blast" that cannot be fully observed with the naked eye. She has a warp skill called "Opuba!". Her uppercut, "Cat Out of Hell", sends the opponent flying into the heavens. Her killer move is **I want to go to the Crocodile Garden** (ワニ園に行きたいわたし, *Wani-en ni ikitai watashi***?**), where she attacks horizontally by turning into a rocket. Like the rest, its fearsome effectiveness is seriously troublesome, and it may have some connection to the **Farewell, Ciel-sensei! Our friendship ended in the Crocodile Garden!** (さらば知得留！　ワニ園に散った友情**?**) technique of her third character popularity poll command list. The **Elite Neco Corps** (エリートネコ部隊, *Erītoneko butai***?**) summons the GCV's only military unit, but while they boast in power, it is unrelated to its power as a technique. The high degree of randomness in that she cannot control them makes it only useful as a provocation.
