Is this a sign of full voice acting? Blue Archive Reveals Special Wanma Festival Video
Nexon today (April 1st) released a special April Fool's Day broadcast story featuring the Pandemonium Society in Blue Archive.
Prior to the broadcast, the video uploaded at midnight on the 1st, unlike the special videos that have been occasionally released since Korean dubbing was applied last July, is characterized by the in-game event story prologue format. The main characters of this story are the executives of Gehenna Academy's student council, 'Pandemonium Society (万魔殿)', and it tells the story of the seemingly serious but always clumsy Chairman Hanuma Makoto plotting another clumsy scheme to win over Shalle's Sensei.
The special video uploaded at noon consisted of Pandemonium Society interviews and various propaganda materials for about 20 minutes, and raised the atmosphere with various parodies familiar to users, such as "You have a plan." Hanuma Makoto appeared in 3D, declared April Fool's Day as 'Manma Day', and announced the publication of a biography and various news. On the other hand, they also provided fan service by slightly touching on the content to be revealed in the game, such as dismissing the secret of their age that fans were curious about, saying, "I didn't forget to graduate." Finally, the broadcast ended with a playback restriction being placed on Satsuki's hypnotism after introducing the Pandemonium Society poster, hat, and miniature goods plan for the statue that was smashed by Hina.
Meanwhile, Blue Archive has been developing various special events for users every April Fool's Day. Representative examples include Arona and Prana's 'Strawberry Milk Complex', the announcement of the release of a swimsuit masked squad block based on the theme of the swimsuit masked squad that created the '털!자' meme, and Kaitenger toys that appeared in real life, making users' hearts flutter.
In particular, the fact that some of the April Fool's Day pranks have been realized is one of the reasons why people look forward to the 'Blue Archive' April Fool's Day event. The Kaitenger plastic model was released in real life in 2023, and in 2024, fan service was continued by selling Arona and Prana's sunglasses packages in real life to commemorate the release of the 'Strawberry Milk Complex'. Attention is focused on whether the Manma Day-related goods, which were suddenly planned and then the broadcast was interrupted due to an unexpected situation, will be released in real life.
