Phoogo, also known as Fugo, is an eldritch entity in the remix tree. It constantly combines itself with more and more cursèd phenomena, and its presence is unbearable to many in the remix world as a result, most notably Franke.
It is associated with the Butterflies, who usually appear at the same time as Phoogo.
History
Phoogo first asserted its presence near a grassy landscape where a triceratops and Panna99 were hanging out. They both fled the scene, but Panna99 left behind a trace: his name, Fugo, which was transferred to Phoogo in distorted form. It then revealed the first stage of its appearance, a combination of Nadia and Jean from Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water. A caption foretold that it would be featuring in the film "The End of Evangelion 2".[1] It then slept to the sound of the song "Sangenshoku" by Pelican Fanclub, as butterflies swarmed around it.[2]
Phoogo was imprisoned in a dark, metallic facility, behind a heavy door. However, the player pressed a button to set it free; a butterfly tried to warn the player to escape, but Phoogo, with a grotesquely smiling face, confronted them both.[3]
Trivia
- Every stage of Phoogo is taken from memes and/or in-jokes between turtlehat and ZiqwerkelSharda.
- The initial stage, not shown in the remix tree, is an edited screenshot from the anime Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water, during a scene from the infamous "Island Arc". In the aforementioned scene, Nadia says the line "Incredible, Jean! You really are a genius!" over and over, to the point of unbearability. ZiqwerkelSharda was idly playing with this image, adding several effects to it, and the red-and-white variant was the final one sea made.
- The first stage in the remix tree combines the image of Nadia with a picture of Jean Roque Raltique, also from the Island Arc. During the scene it's taken from, Jean imbibes large quantities of water, taking on an inflated shape as a result. This scene is the first example of such cartoony antics in the series, making it infamous for heralding what was to come in the rest of Island Arc.
- The second stage adds an overly-enthusiastic face to the mix; this face is taken from an image of the Popsicle, a plush popsicle with a disturbing facial expression that ZiqwerkelSharda would often stash inside of turtlehat's belongings as a prank.
- The third stage applies the ever-amusing "spinning globe" effect to Phoogo.
- The fourth stage combines Phoogo with a strange-looking man referred to only as "il" (he), in a French language teaching video by Alain le Lait entitled Couleurs.
- The fifth stage adds Vriska Serket, an ever-controversial character from the webcomic Homestuck, to the mix. This version is entitled "Vradia la Serket".
- The sixth stage adds a bag over Phoogo's head, in reference to Candace from Phineas and Ferb, specifically the E.V.I.L B.O.Y.S sequence – or as Candace is known in the Polish dub, Fretka. Because the project this stage first appears in is a direct parody of a subtitled Polish version of E.V.I.L. B.O.Y.S., this version is known as "Frugka".
Relationships
Pannacotta Fugo
When Phoogo initially asserted its presence in the remix world, Fugo was present, and thus the former was named after the latter. Fugo can barely cope with Phoogo's presence, and has a track record of running away from it.[1]
