Monster Retsuden ORECA BATTLE

***Monster Retsuden ORECA BATTLE*** (モンスター烈伝 オレカバトル, *Monsutā Retsuden OREKA BATORU*?, lit. "Monster Legends ORECA BATTLE") is a Japanese trading card arcade game developed and published by Konami, released in March 2012.

The game ended service in March 2022, ten years after its initial release.

## Features

One of the playable hero characters in this game is Getsu Fuma. His initial form resembles that from *GetsuFumaDen*, although with a more modern art style, and he can evolve into "Pulse Blade Master Fuma".

Along its main cast, the game also features several characters from other Konami franchises, including: Simon, Grim, Goemon and Vic Viper.

## Characters

Getsu Fuma and his heirloom Hadou katana appear in the game in a number of iterations.

* **Getsu Fuma** (月風魔 （げつ ふうま)?), the base version of the character.
* **Hadou katana Master Fuma** (波動剣士風魔?), the secondary, more powerful form, can be gained by equipping Fuma with the Hadou katana.

Fuma can be encountered in a secret boss battle in chapter 3 of the game's story mode.

In addition to iterations of Getsu Fuma, *Oreca Battle* also features some characters that make heavy references to the *GetsuFumaDen* series while not being from it themselves. In addition, it includes remixed tracks from the original game, such as "Go! Getsufuma", "One Hundred Billion Light-years Beyond" and "Getsufuma's Theme".

* **Zero** (零 (ゼロ)?), a young ninja who worked hard to join the Fuma clan (based on the real historic ninja clan of the same name) but ultimately parted ways with them on bad terms; makes many references to *GetsuFumaDen*. Having been in the game since launch, it would seem that Getsu Fuma is a reskin of Zero's character model. Additionally, one of Zero's attacks is the secret sword technique "GetsuFumaDen", here read as "moon wind demon". Finally, Zero can be enhanced into Getsu Fuma when partaking in the game's card evolution system.
* **Ichi** (壱 (イチ)?), a young girl who follows Zero into the Fuma clan and becomes his adopted younger sister. Tasked with tracking him down upon his exit from the clan, she eventually parted ways with them as well.

## Legacy

A manga adaptation was serialized in Shogakukan's *CoroCoro Comic* from June 2012 to February 2015. It was followed by a sequel series called *Maō Da Ze! Oreca Battle* from March 2015 to January 2016. An anime adaptation aired between April 7, 2014 and March 30, 2015 alongside *Dragon Collection*, another Konami video game adaptation.
