'''Ekoro''' (also known as '''Ecolo''' or '''Ecoro''') is the main antagonist of [[Puyo Puyo 7]], as well as [[Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary]], and appears as a primary antagonist in [[Compile Worlds]]. He has been causing trouble with his efforts to completely disintegrate [[Primp]] since [[Log:RP/Subete PuyoPuyo/8|Episode 8]], and still is alive. He and his efforts are infamous throughout not only Primp, but apparently [[The Abyss]] and other worlds as well, and his influence has proved to be quite hard to kill, much like the blob himself.

'''Ekoro''', also incorrectly known as '''Ekoro's Possessor''', is a dark, blob like entity in [[Compile Worlds]]. Originally, it was purported that Ekoro was possessing [[Ecolo]] the [[evil]] [[Technomage]]. However, it turns out the exact opposite was true. Despite this, Ekoro is a parasitic being, unable to take a stable physical form without a host body. Currently, it is inhabiting [[Omega]]'s body, after being expelled from Ecolo's in {{Episode|39}} by [[Black Sig]]. He is also one of the four co conspirators of [[SHAME]], though it was not revealed until the final episode.

Ekoro's true origins and birthplace are widely unknown. Mysteriously, he appeared out of nowhere. [[Strange Klug]] has mentioned Ekoro travels to many other worlds to cause trouble, and has even been implied to visit Primp before [[Pre-Meteor Arc|the Ekoro Arc]]. In {{Episode|32}} it is implied that Ekoro himself is [[Unusual Ekoro|a human mage]] being possessed by [[Ekoro's Possessor|the entity Strange Klug may have witnessed]]. If isn't causing mischief, then he seems to adopt or create minions to do his dirty work in other worlds, such as using [[Sho]]'s DNA to make [[Alpha]]. Between [[Log:RP/Subete PuyoPuyo/11|Episodes 11]] [[Log:RP/Subete PuyoPuyo/12|and 12]], Ekoro had used Alpha to create [[Ekoro's clones|several clones of various ADMA members]], as well as his [[Ekoro's Base|rather extravagant main base]] and secret project [[Phi|Perfect Light]].

According to [[Omega]] in {{Episode|49}}, Ecolo had taken over the mind of Ekoro 600 years prior to the RP, and become the strange, nearly invincible blob-like identity you see in the infobox. Ecolo used his power to spread great terror throughout the cosmos, and Ekoro could only suffer and watch as his power was being used to commit evil deeds. Ecolo, however, temporarily had anmesia and lost control over Ekoro prior to Compile Worlds, as told in [[MPFW]]. However, he reclaimed Ekoro's power and continued his madness in the modern era.
-
For an antagonist, Ekoro usually speaks in a polite, yet condescending manner. He often makes up bizarre rhymes, riddles and metaphors to convey his thoughts, bringing confusion and frustration to his arch-nemesis-es. Ekoro also has a habit of cackling "EYAH HEE HEE HEE!" when he is excited or amused, which is often. Much like a mad scientist, Ekoro is constantly conducting tests and experiments, and then destroys these tests with child-like glee. Often, he is scrupulous when destroying or hiding evidence, making tracing all the elements of his plots difficult. Ekoro also likes to have the element of surprise, as evidenced when he hyped up [[Zeta]]. When Ekoro is angry however, he shows he can be rather blunt, unlike when he is calm. He is also a master of deception, tricking [[Feli]] into thinking [[Lemres]] was with her and faking his own death. However, he is unstable, and his plans frequently change to meet situations or his own whims.
+
Ekoro seemed to be able to break Ecolo's grip on him somewhat though after six centuries, as he was able to conspire with [[Nanako]], [[Auriol]], and [[Strange Klug]] in SHAME to conduct [[the Tournament]]. Ekoro was finally freed from Ecolo's weakening grip over him when Black Sig used his full power on him during The Tournament. He possessed the body of Omega almost immediately afterwords in order to continue having a physical presence and see the results of SHAME come to fruition.
-
Ekoro, being a main antagonist, is also fittingly one of the most powerful characters in the entire RP. In addition to being able to alter his form or voice to mimic another, he can copy entire fighting techniques. Before his imprisonment inside an orb, he was also able to summon [[portal]]s to various other worlds at whim. Ekoro is also capable of brainwashing people into thinking things that aren't reality, no matter how ridiculous they seem. However, Ekoro's power also has limits. For example, he cannot escape from his imprisonment within his orb. He also apparently cannot handle multiple attacks hitting him simultaneously, probably due to his generally unstable nature. Ekoro's tendency to ramble may also contribute as a weakness, since his rambling almost distracts him. The greatest showcase of Ekoro's immense power is his survival inside a [[black hole]], inside an orb, after supposedly being killed by his clones, which still has yet to be explained.
+
During the course of the RP, it is revealed Ekoro may have been trying to sabotage Ecolo and [[Fake Arle]]'s [[Fake Arle's plans|plans]] by implementing strange routines to run in [[Alpha]] and [[Zeta]] and creating the blueprints for the clone [[Phi]] (whose "Perfect Light" would've been an appropriate counterattack for Ecolo's darkness). However, Ekoro didn't seem to know or care much about the situation after it became dire in the present time of [[The Gathering]]. He even deemed it hopeless beyond help and said it was useless to stop Fake Arle and Ecolo. He was soundly proven wrong by the end of the arc.

Unlike the sinister prankster that possessed him, Ekoro is a much calmer figure. He is also quite melancholy at times, talking in an outright depressed tone. He is not on very good terms with Fake Arle, given she is involved in a lot of evil shenanigans conspiring against him. Ekoro's body is an unstable mass of black particles bound to a strange energy core, and so long as another life form contains it, he can use it to manipulate them or even consume them; he controlled the behaviour of [[Ekoro's clones]] in this manner, for example. He is also capable of possessing host bodies, though in the case of Ecolo, he cannot always control them.
-
Like a lot of [[SEGA]]'s Puyo characters, the exact meaning or origin of Ekoro's name is uncertain. "Kokoro", "corocoro", "Ecology" and "[[wikipedia:Entamoeba coli|e. coli]]" are all possible origins, with various degrees of relevance to his character. The spelling of his name is also a controversial subject, since SEGA has never released any media implying what the correct [[English]] romanization of his name is. Kokoro means "heart" in [[Japanese]], referring to how Ekoro supposedly "toyed with [[Arle]]'s Heart" in Puyo Puyo 7. Corocoro roughly translates to "something round and bouncy", which fits Ekoro's physical description quite well. E. coli is a parasite, again referring to how he steals other character's bodies or animations. It's unknown how Ecology would relate to Ekoro however.

This is benevolent entity known as "Ekoro". If you were looking for the malevolent version that appears in the Puyo series and Compile Worlds, see Ecolo.

Ekoro, also incorrectly known as Ekoro's Possessor, is a dark, blob like entity in Compile Worlds. Originally, it was purported that Ekoro was possessing Ecolo the evil Technomage. However, it turns out the exact opposite was true. Despite this, Ekoro is a parasitic being, unable to take a stable physical form without a host body. Currently, it is inhabiting Omega's body, after being expelled from Ecolo's in Episode 39 by Black Sig. He is also one of the four co conspirators of SHAME, though it was not revealed until the final episode.

Biography

According to Omega in Episode 49, Ecolo had taken over the mind of Ekoro 600 years prior to the RP, and become the strange, nearly invincible blob-like identity you see in the infobox. Ecolo used his power to spread great terror throughout the cosmos, and Ekoro could only suffer and watch as his power was being used to commit evil deeds. Ecolo, however, temporarily had anmesia and lost control over Ekoro prior to Compile Worlds, as told in MPFW. However, he reclaimed Ekoro's power and continued his madness in the modern era.

Ekoro seemed to be able to break Ecolo's grip on him somewhat though after six centuries, as he was able to conspire with Nanako, Auriol, and Strange Klug in SHAME to conduct the Tournament. Ekoro was finally freed from Ecolo's weakening grip over him when Black Sig used his full power on him during The Tournament. He possessed the body of Omega almost immediately afterwords in order to continue having a physical presence and see the results of SHAME come to fruition.

During the course of the RP, it is revealed Ekoro may have been trying to sabotage Ecolo and Fake Arle's plans by implementing strange routines to run in Alpha and Zeta and creating the blueprints for the clone Phi (whose "Perfect Light" would've been an appropriate counterattack for Ecolo's darkness). However, Ekoro didn't seem to know or care much about the situation after it became dire in the present time of The Gathering. He even deemed it hopeless beyond help and said it was useless to stop Fake Arle and Ecolo. He was soundly proven wrong by the end of the arc.

Unlike the sinister prankster that possessed him, Ekoro is a much calmer figure. He is also quite melancholy at times, talking in an outright depressed tone. He is not on very good terms with Fake Arle, given she is involved in a lot of evil shenanigans conspiring against him. Ekoro's body is an unstable mass of black particles bound to a strange energy core, and so long as another life form contains it, he can use it to manipulate them or even consume them; he controlled the behaviour of Ekoro's clones in this manner, for example. He is also capable of possessing host bodies, though in the case of Ecolo, he cannot always control them.

Etymology

Ekoro is named after the direct romanization of Ecolo's name. While Ecolo used this as a misnomer for himself in the fused form, it actually stems from Ekoro being the English version of his name prior to 20th, where it was confirmed once and for all (like, finally) that his name was indeed romanized as "Ecolo".

Trivia

  • Ekoro has never spoken in his original form; only through Omega or Ecolo's bodies.
    • Similarly, the true form of Ekoro is only seen once; the precise moment when Sig releases him.
