Stormy and Full of Drama! The Chaotic Life of Upstart Goblin![]

HeavySlump-TF04-EN-VG

This is the dramatic story of the man whose life is a series of ups and downs. He went from living in the lap of luxury to having nothing – faded glory. He smiled at money and cried over money. For half of his tumultuous life, this goblin was swayed by the power of money, the root of all evil.

The Days When He Used to Say, "Buy, Buy!"[]

Back during the days of the surging Bubble Economy, everyone was in high spirits, and a certain Goblin used the money he made off of real estate and stocks to party hard into the night. It wasn't odd to see him playing with wads of cash, as befit a member of the Nouveau Rich.

UpstartGoblin-TF04-JP-VG
"Upstart Goblin"
He spent his time playfully giving money to riffraff. He would stingily hand out small change, despite having a vast fortune.
You want money? I'll give you money!!

But This Happiness Didn't Last Long[]

The booming economy everyone thought would last forever finally ended. Along with many others, the Goblin's company fell victim to the burst of the Bubble Economy, and he went bankrupt. All that was left was a mountain of debt.

BubbleCrash-TF04-JP-VG
"Bubble Crash"
OHMYGAW!!

And Things Got Worse[]

He was hit by a tsunami of misfortune. The stock market crash lost him all of his remaining property. He was a millionaire the day before, but the next morning, he was penniless...

HeavySlump-TF04-JP-VG
"Heavy Slump"
The Goblin found himself knee-deep in debt, virtually overnight. His dream life had turned into a nightmare from which he grew desperate to wake up.
TELL ME IT'S A LIE~

Penniless at Last[]

He was now on the receiving end of the disgusting charity in which he’d previously indulged. It was humiliating, but there was nothing he could do about it – he didn't even have enough money to live day-to-day. He was a goblin who knew the value of money firsthand.

SecondCoinToss-TF04-JP-VG
"Second Coin Toss"
Can you spare some money...

Nouveau Rich -> Sudden Change in Fortune -> Utterly, Completely Destitute

Ah, the Days of the Slump[]

The Goblin's life of scraping by day-to-day reached its limit, hit rock bottom... Finally, the Goblin got himself involved in crime: he began to steal from others. He couldn’t ever return to an ordinary life after that...

GoblinThief-TF04-JP-VG
"Goblin Thief"
Gwhehehe... Yoink~

Doing Anything to Survive[]

Once he got a taste for it, the Goblin found himself unable to wash his hands of crime. As he committed one crime after another, he slowly became an odious scoundrel in body and soul. Is there nothing left of his conscience?

JarRobber-TF04-JP-VG
"Jar Robber"
I'll steal even more!!
GoblinofGreed-TF04-JP-VG
"Goblin of Greed"
He's basically a villain now.

Reform! He's Completely Serious![]

In his early days... The Goblin recalled all his childhood hopes and dreams. He knew he still had a second chance at life. The Goblin abandoned his criminal life to make a fresh start.

Let's start from scratch!

Victimized Goblin[]

When the Goblin was still rich, he’d been attacked by the Dark Scorpions and had some of his money and belongings stolen. Was this bitter experience what caused the Goblin to enter a life of crime later on?

"D.D. Crazy Beast" wants to eat "D.D. Trainer".

Together, These Five Are...The Dark Scorpion Burglars!![]

MusteringoftheDarkScorpions-TF04-JP-VG

They're the famous five-man team, "the Dark Scorpions,” known for declaring, "There's no treasure we can't steal!”

"There's Nothing We Can't Steal!"[]

Various traps awaited any who would try to enter the treasure room where the royal family sleeps. Before their flawless teamwork, those traps were nothing more than children's toys.

DarkScorpionCombination-TF04-JP-VG
"Dark Scorpion Combination"
Flawless teamwork.

Their Five Rhythms as One[]

They're the A-Team, gathered and led by their leader, "Don" Zaloog. They've gotten into some pretty hairy situations in the past, but when these five work together, they're capable of overcoming anything, no matter how stacked the odds may be against them.

DarkScorpionBurglars-TF04-JP-VG
"Dark Scorpion Burglars"
The tattoos on their arms are the Dark Scorpions’ calling card. They’ve actually deepened the bonds between them.
Ironclad bonds!

The Reliable Don[]

The Don, who has stolen many treasures, is the guy the rest of the "Dark Scorpions" rely on. He's got dependable skills, and the rest of the gang trusts him implicitly. His eyepatch is decorated with a piece of treasure from one of his first tomb robberies.

DonZaloog-TF04-JP-VG
"Don Zaloog"
"Don Zaloog" and his gang are as thick as thieves. He's got a really cool, yet simple, "guns akimbo" look!
The tomb robbers' leader!

The Slightly Nervous Guy Is Their One Flaw[]

Number 2 among the "Dark Scorpions". As the brains of the team, he's typically calm and composed, but sometimes he gets a bit nervous and anxious; and if his glasses get dirty, his mood sours. He’s the one most feared after the Don.

DarkScorpionClifftheTrapRemover-TF04-JP-VG
"Dark Scorpion - Cliff the Trap Remover"
Behind his glasses lie a pair of intellectual eyes. Any trap "Cliff" comes across is useless.
The glasses aren't just for show!!

He's Proud of His Strength[]

A quiet guy who's the biggest member of the team. The rest of the team fully acknowledges his superhuman strength, but he's very nervous around "Meanae". He's a shy fellow who never speaks his mind, but the rest of the gang knows exactly how he feels.

DarkScorpionGorgtheStrong-TF04-JP-VG
"Dark Scorpion - Gorg the Strong"
"Gorg" has arms so strong, he can easily lift a stone sarcophagus.
He's in charge of the heavy lifting!!

The Lone Girl!! She's in Charge of Sex Appeal![]

The only lady among the "Dark Scorpions". In many cases, she's gotten out of trouble using the flexible, lateral thinking only a woman would have. She's indispensable to the "Dark Scorpions", who are otherwise an all-male team. When she stops her teammates from fighting, the atmosphere around them returns to normal almost instantly. She's an important person to whom the Don feels indebted.

DarkScorpionMeanaetheThorn-TF04-JP-VG
"Dark Scorpion - Meanae the Thorn"
Like her nickname suggests, she can splendidly control her whip as if it were a part of her own body.
Beware her whip! It'll make you howl in pain!

Being Cowardly Is Just Right[]

He's still only half a man. "Chick" is an apprentice on the team who trains hard each and every day, although his biggest problem is that he's a craven coward -- but this weakness is also a strength for him, since, well, it might be useful in this line of work.

DarkScorpionChicktheYellow-TF04-JP-VG
"Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow"
Confident in the arts of escape.

Each Member Shows Their Quirks!![]

Disabling traps, being proud of herculean strength, or finding a way out...by showing off their own specialties, the "Dark Scorpions" become more than the sum of their parts. Of course, "Zaloog's" leadership is what gets them to do that.

NeedleWall-TF04-JP-VGTrapDustshoot-TF04-JP-VGTimidity-TF04-JP-VG
"Needle Wall""Trap Dustshoot""Timidity"
Each member has their own special skills. By combining their power, they steal treasure.

Whenever They Get a Chance, They Pose Together! This Is the Proof of Their Solidarity and Teamwork!![]

These five use lots of poses depending on the situation. At every meeting, they each each bring up their own ideas for poses and decide between them with a majority vote.

MusteringoftheDarkScorpions-TF04-JP-VG
"Mustering of the Dark Scorpions"
This is the proof of their solidarity and teamwork!!

The Don's Younger Days[]

Now, let's reveal a special photo of the Don from back in his younger days! His hairdo hasn't changed since then. Before he got his beloved pair of handguns, he was considered a master of fighting with a knife in each hand. He's a very skilled man...and it seems he didn't have his trademark eyepatch back then...

LegacyHunter-TF04-JP-VG
"Legacy Hunter"
A dual-wielding blade master.

Gagagigo's Journey Into Adulthood[]

Gigobyte-TF04-JP-VG

In his youth, he grew up healthy and strong under his father's and mother's watchful eyes; but one day, he lost his sense of reason and turned into a savage monster that just destroyed one thing after another. What happened to Gagagigo? Let us look back on his life as he grew into a man.

~Childhood~ The Days of Gigobyte[]

Immediately after being born, Gigobyte started to walk. "This kid'll surely be a big shot some day!"... As if in response to the affection and expectations that his parents and grandparents poured upon him, he spent his childhood living carefree. Also, his beady eyes were really cute.

Gigobyte-TF04-JP-VG
"Gigobyte"
Full of pep and vigor!!

A Naughty Boy[]

As a kid, he was probably a bit too naughty and spoiled. He played every day until it was dark, and came home covered in cuts. You could definitely say he was a mischievous kid who was a bit too much for his parents to handle.

TrianglePower-TF04-JP-VG
"Triangle Power"
He grew up with the reputation of neighborhood badboy, but he was pretty popular with other kids as the "boss".
A bratty bully!!

Can You Make 100 Friends?[]

The school decided to have a play as part of its Arts Festival. Though "Gigobyte" auditioned for a leading role, he unfortunately ended up with a role as a crowd member, and his only line was, "Over there."

TheLawoftheNormal-TF04-EN-VG
"The Law of the Normal"
Although he was just an extra, he stepped forward, showing off to everyone. He ended up being scolded by the teacher.
With everyone.

As Gagagigo, He Became a Hot-Tempered, Rebellious Youth[]

"Gagagigo" is him when he gained a burly physique. These are his teenage years. Because of the agonies of love, he ended up in one fight after another. But who is the certain person he worked so hard and seriously to meet...!?

Gagagigo-TF04-JP-VG
"Gagagigo"
That certain person is...?!

The Light and Darkness of His Youth[]

He "attacked" the girl he liked! ... But the results were a failure. The girl never even read the letter he spent all night writing. "Gagagigo" fell to his knees in shock. His first love vanished with the dew...

Stumbling-TF04-JP-VG
"Stumbling"
His first frustrations.

Fighting Every Day from Dawn to Dusk[]

To cover the pain of rejection, "Gagagigo" ended up fighting again and again. There's no one in that neighborhood who doesn't know his name. So continued the endless days of new wounds that wouldn't close.

His day-to-day life is one fight after another.

TwoManCellBattle-TF04-JP-VG
"Two-Man Cell Battle"
It's a simple one-on-one fight! Let's settle this fight one-on-one!
DesCounterblow-TF04-JP-VG
"Des Counterblow"
... but he did lose a few times, though that didn't stop him from fighting.

Powering Himself Up with Snappy-looking Armor!![]

As those rough days went on and on, people started calling him by the nickname, "Giga Gagagigo". Finally, he equipped himself with armor, but he could no longer feel alive in battle. What had he become?

GigaGagagigo-TF04-JP-VG
"Giga Gagagigo"
It's rustproof!

Fights with His Rival, Freed[]

When men talk, they don't use silly things like words: they understand each other if they punch one another. "Gagagigo's" fights with his rival, "Freed", might have been therapeutic for him..

They talk with their fists!

DDBorderline-TF04-JP-VG
"D.D. Borderline"
They became each other's rivals. A strange friendship ended up forming between them.
DrainingShield-TF04-JP-VG
"Draining Shield"
The score between them is 24 wins and 26 losses for "Gagagigo", so "Freed" is slightly in the lead.

Even If You Read It Backwards, It's Still "Gogiga Gagagigo"[]

In the end, his soul collapsed, and he was never able to return to just being "Gagagigo". His body is now out of control and thirsts for destruction. Is it possible that, maybe, one day, he'll return to being plain old "Gagagigo"? ... If it is, then maybe one day, his smiling face will be seen again.

GogigaGagagigo-TF04-JP-VG
"Gogiga Gagagigo"
His body's out of control!

Gagagigo from Freed's Perspective[]

"In the old days, we were rivals who enjoyed fighting each other, though I've heard rumors that he's completely changed these days. What? Someone who could reawaken that guy's heart of justice? ... Sorry, I don't have any idea, myself."

FreedtheMatchlessGeneral-TF04-JP-VG
"Freed the Matchless General"
"He was a good guy back then..."

Go!! Our Marauding Captain![]

ReinforcementoftheArmy-TF04-JP-VG

He has the most dangerous job on the battlefield: the work of "Marauding Captain". To raise his men’s morale, he'll gladly charge forth on the front lines into enemy territory. He has both the courage and the determination to sacrifice his life for the sake of his side's victory, if his duty calls for it.

Captain, We Need Your Help![]

"Marauding Captain" has many subordinates. Even if he's standing before a powerful enemy, he refuses to flinch or falter, because he’s the captain. Instead, he'll slice the enemy apart with his two beloved swords.

MaraudingCaptain-TF04-JP-VG

A Close Call for Marauding Captain!?[]

The Days of Freed, the Career Soldier[]

OrdertoCharge-TF04-JP-VG

As his name, "the Matchless General", suggests, the military unit he commands has never once been defeated. Is the secret of his strength as a war hero really what the rumors say? That the goddess of victory is in love with him? I'll thoroughly investigate the unbeatable "Freed".

"I Am Freed, the Undefeated"[]

He is said to be a military genius who, if forced to fight a thousand battles, will win a thousand times. He fights by considering the weather and terrain to the smallest detail, to the point where it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he'd made it into an art.

FreedtheMatchlessGeneral-TF04-JP-VG
"Freed the Matchless General"
Invincible and undefeated!!

He Was Once a Wanderer[]

While "Freed" is revered as a god of war these days, he was not always so strong. He wandered from country to country, traveling to become more and more skilled in combat, and his time doing so was what made him the man he is today.

FreedtheBraveWanderer-TF04-JP-VG
"Freed the Brave Wanderer"
In order to learn his own limits, Freed traveled all over. He grew as a man through many encounters and goodbyes.
Travelling to fight better!?

Freed Is the Kind of Man Who Is Good at His Desk and on the Battlefield[]

By understanding the terrain of the battlefield, he can hammer out a strategy based on his men's strengths. In addition, he jumps to the front lines to give his allies exact instructions. This is the secret of Freed's army, and how he is known as "Matchless"!!

AFeintPlan-TF04-JP-VG
"A Feint Plan"
After returning from the Graveyard, he plans his next strategy. Sleep is a luxury he can go without, if that ensures his victory.
An able man!!
OrdertoCharge-TF04-JP-VG
"Order to Charge"
The morale of his friends and allies rises because of the support he gives on the front lines.
He's a control tower!!

How Freed's Men See Him[]

"The General? Oh, the General. O' course we like the dignified air he's got on 'im. After all, facial hair gives ya a refined look. We, the General's men, always win, so we're pretty famous with our merc buddies. ... Are we like the General? No way, the dude's skills ain't even human, and way out our league."

ExiledForce-TF04-JP-VG
"Exiled Force"

Ha Des' Underworld Diary[]

Demotion-TF04-JP-VG

There is a great king who rules over the Underworld. His name is "Ha Des", or "Death". He is quite skilled, having been able to bring the Underworld's hooligans together. We've decided to try and approach "Ha Des" today, but the work of a king is very time-consuming and difficult.

DarkRulerHaDes-TF04-JP-VG
"Dark Ruler Ha Des"
"I, Ha Des, am the King who unified the Underworld."

If He Gets Angry, Be Afraid of "Death"![]

In the Underworld, His Majesty's word is a law that must be followed with unquestioning obedience. Those who break it leap in fear at his terrifying bark, and sometimes, they suffer severe punishments on top of that...

BarkofDarkRuler-TF04-JP-VG

Pulling the strings!

"Death" Forgives Not Those Who Defy Him!![]

In order for the King's majesty to be maintained, those who dare defy him are severely punished. The Underworld is a strictly vertical and hierarchical society, and no one who breaks its laws is forgiven. Many terrible punishments await them.

SoulDemolition-TF04-JP-VG

They Were Made at the Factory!?[]

Because they live in the realm of angels, others were convinced that "Mokey Mokeys" were just more of the Almighty's creations. But if you look at the picture we got from a scoop, it's now clear that the "Mokey Mokeys" were actually mass-produced inside a factory!
