Oji-san
The Lovable Oji-sama
Field Value Full Name Oji-san Alias Gender Male Age Unknown World Dead World Occupation Humanity Restoration Construct Status Alive (inside Berbie’s Marble) Role Participant Team Juan Freaky Freakers Edition Crab 3 Creator
Hey! That tickles. Stoooooop.
Oji-san is a participant of Crab 3, as a member of Team Juan Freaky Freakers. A construct initially made to collect the feelings and consciousness of the humans of his dying world and “restore” them, it takes the form of a naked balding old man without truly realizing how much of a pervert he looks like and instead wishes to spread joy and happiness around.
Appearance
Personality
Out of the Freaks, Oji-san is the most innocent, as his understanding of human customs is limited due to his upbringing. He is supportive of everyone and wishes no harm to others. He fails to realize how off-putting he can be and is always an optimist. Oji-san is also likely a bit of a pacifist and can use his charm to gain supporters quickly as he did both in Centuria and Japan, once one gets past his oddity.
He was an enabler of the worst aspects of his teams, but this was likely due to him not quite grasping the harm Rapist Ant and his antics caused.
In his real form, he shows himself to be more thoughtful and quiet, while remaining a sensitive creature and revealing he misses his world. He was also quite loyal to his team, willing to fight Berbie and give his life for the cause and to protect them and Carolyn.
Powers and Abilities
In his middle aged naked man form, Oji-san shows to be a good gymnast, doing incredible acrobatics while serving drinks. He is an empath as well and tries to atune himself to the emotions of others and cheer them up, making him quite charming if one opens themselves to him and allowing him to easily raise allies.
In his true form, he can use his tendrils to fight and to support allies which he uses a lot to assist the Rebellion in fighting Berbie. He supposedly should be able to germinate as well and regrow mankind after assimilating their emotions - and he can as well imitate the appearances or demeanor of loved ones from those he knows.
Background
History
Recruitment
Oji-san was convinced by the Gamemaster to join the fray.
Round 1
Oji-san (lost, entry) vs Pharaoh Tikas The Young (won, entry) in Main Battle. Match page: C3 R1 - Oji-san vs Pharaoh Tikas
In Centuria, Tikas led the majority of the Horde forces, who rallied under his banner, while Oji-san was made the leader and defender of the Forest Alliance.
In Oji-san’s reality, a battle between many Crabs ensued. Sentimia dealt with an impostor pretending to be her and bullying people. She learned Oji-san had been gathering allies in the forest, being called the Prince of the Forest by his new followers. Using Senjata weaponry, Tikas quickly mowed down the Imperial defenses and advanced through it. Tikas planned to deal with the forest by sunset and take prisoners for his war against the Empire. A lone survivor of the massacre was found and saved by Hime - yet the story remained inconclusive after that.
In Tikas’s canon reality, he led an assault at the Forest Alliance, hoping to destroy Der Baum. The Forest sent Oji-san as a representative, and Oji-san requested Tikas would surrender and accept the Forest’s love and friendship. Tikas replied with a yo mama joke written by Guido, killed one of his goblins by accident by touching him, and then the next morning led his troops into battle. A fierce battle against the forest defenders ensued, the Horde powered with the Senjata weaponry given to them by Overkill. Although initially winning, the battle scales changed when Der Baum woke up and began slaughtering the invaders. Unable to destroy the tree with his curse due to it being older than him, Tikas requested a trusted goblin associate to cannon-launch him towards Oji-san, trying to turn the construct into a sacrifice for his god, Naft, in exchange for victory. Although Oji-san dodged him and Tikas ended up stuck in Der Baum, he offered instead as sacrifice to the god all the fallen souls of his enemies - the god accepted it and rained fire rain on all the forest dwellers, killing them and the elder tree.
Round 2
Oji-san (lost, entry) vs Sanguine (won, entry) in Shudo. Match page: C3 R2 - Oji-san vs Sanguine
In Japan, Sanguine turned into a kitsune with the kemono potion, while Oji-san drank the age elixir and remained the same.
In Oji-san’s reality, Lurker and Tenebris entered a private building where only men were allowed, where Sanguine was accompanying men and entertaining them. The main goal of the event was to sell the most drinks - and Sanguine found himself quickly matched by Oji-san’s acrobatic antics. Although Sanguine tried to sabotage Oji-san’s beverage serving with his magic, Oji-san relied on some Magai balls to keep the action going. Undressing, Sanguine prepared to face Oji-san.
In Sanguine’s canon reality, Lenard and Sanguine discussed the incoming match, with Sanguine easily guessing Oji-san to be some kind of construct and planning to poison his beverage with kodoku. After that, Lenard and Sanguine drank together their kemono potions, turning into a human and a fox-person respectively. In the end, during his tea with Oji-san, Sanguine unknowingly poisoned himself by drinking the kodoku and serving Oji-san instead the age-potion Lenard had given him. Refusing to accept there was a plot, Oji-san comforted the demon, but was overwhelmed by its memories of suffering due to his empathy and paralyzed, allowing Sanguine to stab him. Cheerfully bidding him goodbye, Oji-san dematerialized as Sanguine sat with possible regret.
After Round 2, the Freaks were disbanded due to the bet they made with Z. They led then a rebellion on their own.
Saddened and stressed by all the recent developments and the dissolution of his team, Oji-san then returned to his original form and ultimately decided to aid the Rebellion, wishing to return home from CRAB.
The rebellion invaded Nuremberg. Florida Man defeated Chadwick, they killed many gnomes. Using the confusion, Awesoman and Bernard released themselves. Berbie fought Overkill and Oji-san, then released Leuca to face them, who in turn was chased by the Ant. Cyrus joined the rebellion and filmed them for Harry’s broadcast, which many Crabs were watching - until Lenard snatched him again calling Overkill out for involving his son-. Watching this Wietse decided to join, asking Evelin to take him with her to Nuremberg, where they reunited with Awesoman and Bernard. Meanwhile the other rebels encountered Nathan, who had been locked as well and happily joined them to kill gnomes, then with Carolyn, who promised to assist them against Berbie.
Round 3
Florida Man, Mister Overkill and Oji-san (lost, entry, part 2) vs Berbie (won, entry). Match page: C3 R3 - Florida Man, Mr Overkill and Oji-san vs Berbie
In the rebel’s reality, Overkill contemplated suicide, before thinking of his experiences and realizing he would not have changed a thing. The freaks then appeared, and hugged him - except Z. In appreciation for Overkill trying to rescue them out of Nuremberg, Z gave Overkill an Overcroc shadow and another Overkill shadow, telling them however it was not too late to go back. Overkill replied Z would go far and that he would do what he would regret the least. After that he visited Dizzy, who noticed he looked different, decided yet fearful. Overkill told her the Gamemaster had showed him many of his futures, they all ended in death, even besides the tournament. However, what he feared for was the destinies of his teammates if the rebellion was a mistake - to cheer him, Dizzy offered to read him the tarot, showing the cards death, the tower, and the hanged man. Later then, the fight against Berbie began. Florida Man began pummeling Berbie and even broke his head, but Berbie quickly regenerated and used blood control to gain the advantage. Oji-san and Overkill then attacked, the shadows firing at the immortal bird to put some distance between him and the headliner, and allow Oji-san to rescue him. When Berbie teleported behind him, Overkill summoned Overcroc to rip off his arm, Oji-san tied him, and revealed Carolyn hiding inside him, who tried to use her contract with Berbie to stop him - however, Berbie laughed it off as he did not consider the freaks his equals. Before he could attack Carolyn, Oji-san jumped to defend her, but Berbie caught him with one arm and threw him away, shrugging the bullets and attacks fired at him. He was crushed then by Florida Man, but reconstructed, calling the rebels not special, just one of many unsuccessful attempts at rebellion to be crushed - when Oji-san tried to envelop him in an attack, Berbie called him ungrateful and terminated him with a massive blast. His next target was Carolyn for helping them, but Overkill took on the brunt of the attack, fatally wounded, the man’s last words were for Florida Man to continue the battle for him. Telling Carolyn to step aside, Florida Man prepared then to face Berbie. Berbie mocked Florida Man for his partners being dead, and an exchange of blows began, before Berbie summoned a magic orb to chase him. Using his hair to cling to pillars and dodge the orb, in the end Florida Man headbutted it, destroying it but losing his helmet in the process. Berbie then used his magic to crush Florida Man’s balls, telling him to admit defeat, but the freaker refused, almost fainting from the pain. He then remembered the people he met at the tournament, and his team - and before Berbie could kill him, his deformed daughter (with Kevin) came to the rescue, though Berbie easily killed, exhausted at the existence of crab babies. Florida Man then grabbed a minigun from the Senjata armament and fired magai balls at Berbie, who deployed a forcefield - yet the balls shifted form and stabbed Berbie through it. Using the opening, Florida Man punched Berbie with a Honkita glove. When he was declared the loser to the surprise of all Crabs, Berbie began ranting, at how ridiculous the win had been and how unfair given that they received help from other Crabs, and declared they were all going to Nuremberg, the spectators too, and the announcers were fired. Seeing him in this state, Wietse finally jumped from the spectator area to the arena and confronted his friend. Berbie said Wietse had abandoned him, and Wietse replied he wanted to leave the Bucket behind, and that he did regret not taking Berbie with him, maybe things could have been different. Hearing this, Berbie was saddened and taken aback, but at that moment of weakness a miasma emerged from inside his body, killing him - the spirit of the power it had been granted to him by the Gamemaster. As the power tried to possess Wietse, Florida Man got in the middle and took the attack - but as he remembered him enjoying a hangover with his team and explaining them how little he was affected by drugs, he simply took onto that power by himself, evolving into G-Florida Man.
In Berbie’s canon reality, Berbie observed the changes in Centuria after the tournament - the horde and the brotherhood were no more, the Empire prevailed, and the Forest Alliance mourned the loss of Der Baum. Although he stated they were just pieces out of countless similar ones serving the Gamemaster, he felt sorry for the gnomes who begged and offered servitude if he would bring the tree back. Detecting this, the Gamemaster appeared in his little girl form, and revived Der Baum as a sprout - the gnomes decided to uphold their loyalty to him then. Later watching a show, Berbie realized he wished to see the puppets turning on their master. Berbie began planning then. He advised the gnomes to abandon the Gamemaster and hide from his attention, but they refused, as the Gamemaster had told them of a King Wenceslas who was a great enemy that would attack. Berbie stated the Gamemaster did not need them, but in the end accepted their help for his plan, asking them to find fictional anime characters with the power to grant wishes. Later that night reading Hunter x Hunter, Berbie asked the Gamemaster to punish the rebels himself, in three separate timelines, and a yellow anime potion for them, to even the odds - the Gamemaster agreed. After that Berbie required a hundred brute gnomes, a hundred kind gnomes, and a hundred clever ones to test his idea. A few nights later, as he watched Wietse play the concert on Japan, he received a report of the gnomes - that the brute gnomes would drink the potion from its briefcase under extreme conditions, but often broke it too early. Berbie ordered to use indestructible briefcases with Contestro and SRU technology, then heard about the battles going on Nuremberg and even a certain rebel’s desire to negotiate (likely Mishka). After that, he ran the experiment again, this time the Gamemaster killing the gnomes before they could use the potion, which to Berbie proved it could work. Later training for his match, Berbie thought of how every person in CRAB was kept alive by the Gamemaster in order to tell their stories, himself included. He reminisced of Chadwick, his time as a Gamemaster, and how his love for the real Gamemaster corrupted and maddened him, until GM-Chan returned and, puzzled at Chadwick still being there, destroyed him. He reminisced as well about killing old Wietse, when Wietse called him out on his crimes as a Gamemaster piece, Berbie counting every death he suffered, hoping that by a million Wietse would forgive him. That night, before the match, he recorded a message. Three timelines began then, one for each opponent. In Florida Man’s timeline, he began savagely beating up Berbie, while Oji-san accepted Berbie’s surrender… of nothing, as Berbie stated at this point, the rebellion path was outside of the usual rules of CRAB and as such, there was nothing like victors, or out of bounds, or late deliveries, just continuing the story the Gamemaster willed. Berbie kept coming back then, no matter how many times Florida Man killed him. Oji-san instead asked what was the so called Gamemaster’s will, but Berbie admitted he had no idea. Overkill in the meantime fought Berbie, deploying all sorts of weaponry and killing him again and again and again, so many times the bird finally reached his long awaited one-million death mark, fighting back then. In Florida Man’s timeline then, the man discovered the locked Contestro briefcase, set to open in 72 hours. In Oji-san’s Berbie began painting and talking with the prince, refusing his offer of inner peace. As Florida Man maddened tried to break the suitcase and even drank Berbie’s blood, Berbie spoke his points to Oji-san: that the rebellion were also following the Gamemaster’s will, that the evil or good of everyone depended on circumstances beyond their control, that to do nothing in regards of fate is to gain nothing, that rebelling and questioning everything is right, to how he had decided to go along with whatever the GM decided and made a Scapegoat for those who rebelled against his authority, how by following the GM’s authority blindly he opened the door to his own darkness, until killing Wietse opened his eyes. He stated the key was awareness, and personal accountability. Although he believed the GM had decided everything already, he chose to be a good person. Berbie then admitted his plan: to kill Overkill personally in revenge to the gnomes killed, to talk with Oji-san and to have Florida Man be the conduct of a wish… As the suitcase opened and Florida Man drank the yellow potion with Alluka’s powers, requests were granted and a wish was made to create a pocket universe containing the unified selves of every crab that ever rebelled and every gnome that ever helped the Gamemaster, also Crabs who no longer competed, as soon as he killed Mr Overkill - otherwise, Berbie would die a million times. As soon, in each timeline the rebels disappeared, with Florida Man granting the wish, Oji-san bidding Berbie farewell before the bird broke his own neck, and Overkill dying and vanishing. The timelines condensed into a multiversal marble, as Berbie fell and returned to his original fat bird form, dying as he gazed at the stars.
After Crab 3
