Biography[]
Puyo Puyo 7[]
A cosmic traveller, in other to satisfy his boredom, Ecolo spent many years observing different worlds and the lives its people lived. He ultimately decides that Ringo's world should be destroyed. He opens up portals to Ringo's world from Amitie and Arle's worlds, introducing Ringo and her friends to the combat style of Puyo Puyo. The portals summon many characters from previous Puyo games, causing them to desperately search for a way to return to their respective worlds.
Ecolo first appears, unbeknownst to the player and characters, as Dark Arle. Through Arle, he manipulates Ringo's party, as they take her advice throughout the game. Dark Arle suggests that in order to return the world to normal, Ringo must defeat 7 legendary fighters in the 7 wonders of the world. Once the seventh fighter, Ecolo himself, is defeated, the portal increases in size exponentially, and starts to bury the universe in Puyo.
| “ | For you see, (Ringo) I have seen many things. And out of them all... The world that you reside in... is a total and complete disaster! I can hear the planet screaming! Thus... if I bury the world in these rainbow jellies... the world might become a better place... | „ |
| ~ Ecolo's exposition |
He is seen in the "flesh" at the climax of the game, after being beaten out of Arle by Ringo, who he then attempts to possess back. He fails and decides to simply bury the entire universe in Puyos, meaning the end of all life. When asked about his motives, he initially says that he saw the inhabitants of Ringo's world as arrogant, destroyers of nature, and that without them the universe would become a better place. Though he latter corrects himself and says that he did it only because he was bored.
Ecolo is inevitably defeated, causing all the Puyos to disappear, and all the warped characters to return to their worlds. Ecolo vanishes and is presumed to have been destroyed.
Later appearances[]
He later reappears in Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary with amnesia. He no longer has any malicious goals as a result, and goes about simply playing Puyo and having fun with people. However, his idea of fun is misguided and he takes it to extremes, such as possessing Satan, causing a space-time rift to appear.
Personality[]
In his debut game, Puyo Puyo 7, Ecolo is a conniving mastermind who manipulated the events of the game from the start with his possession of Arle. He is shown to be rather silly, but still a dead serious threat, as he lies to Ringo about being a well-intentioned extremist, saving the world by destroying it. Immediately after, he states he was lying and is destroying it for his own personal amusement.
After his amnesia, he becomes a much friendlier character with ultimately helpful goals. He decides his main purpose is in fact to spread fun to people, and finds the most fun in playing Puyo, the only thing that he remembers. At the end of Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary, he remembers his identity as a space time entity, lamenting how his state as a Lovecraft-type being will inevitably lead to people forgetting his existence.
