Works

A Fading Nebula

A Fading Nebula is a war/drama/mystery film directed by Mr. Reca, integrating the clashing ideas between reality and romance, tenderness and brutality, as well as life and death in the 1,500 shots that make up the 200-minute film. The story took place in the Slaturg Nebula that fell half an Amber Era ago. Mr. Reca makes the Intellitron leader who rules the nebula the protagonist and depicts the happenings during the final six months of the nebula from the leader's perspective.^[4]

The film is rated 9/10 and "an unparalleled masterpiece" by movie critic Chabro. According to his review, A Fading Nebula has a realistic and delicate touch that makes the viewers feel like they are walking down the protagonist's memory lane. The lesser-known actors are truly into their characters, the plot is suspenseful, and the editing is masterful. These are enough to make A Fading Nebula a movie remembered by history.^[4]

History

Scorchsand Vacation

Mr. Reca was sponsored by Aideen to make a Memory Film Scorchsand Vacation in memory of the Trailblazer and Firefly's victory in SoulGlad™ Enterprises' thirty-third Scorchsand Festival of the twentieth season. Mr. Reca did not appear in person, and communicated with the Trailblazer through a strange videotape.^[6]

The film starred the Trailblazer and Firefly, with Firefly simulated by Mr. Reca with a few memory fragments, as her physical condition prevented her from participating in the filming. The story simulated the moments of the Trailblazer and Firefly in the Scorchsand Festival. In the first and second stages, the film featured the choices that were not selected by the player in Trailblaze Mission Seabiscuit. In the third stage, as they couldn't get the rights to Argenti, Mr. Reca placed the captured "Dormancy" as the final obstacle instead.^[6]

After the filming was over, Mr. Reca commented that the film was utterly mediocre and dreadfully dull, because the sponsor only wanted to capture the sensory thrill of the game through this film project, and they inevitably resorted to confining the actors' souls with many a tedious protocol. He honestly didn't want his name to be attached to this project in any way. He believes that most people's lives are as uninteresting as this perplexing film, where they always follow some kind of "script" known as "habits," or "rules," or "destiny."^[6]

Mr. Reca was aware of recent attempt by the Oak Family to trap everyone inside an endless dream, and reviewed it as "truly a captivating tale." His lens is upon the Trailblazer, and he hopes they won't give a boring performance of "being forgotten by the world" in the future.^[6]

Banana Outrage: Battles Without Ninja and Humanity

Mr. Reca appeared in-person at Paperfold University, having entered an agreement with Professor Primon to obtain a good film, where he would help Professor Primon infiltrate the university in exchange for Professor Primon removing the Slumbernana Monkey memetic virus infecting him. When Rappa, Dan Heng, and the Trailblazer confronted Professor Primon in the dean's office, Reca teleported them away and demanded Professor Primon to uphold his part of the deal. However, the professor refused and demanded ownership of them to turn them into monkeys. Reca, aware of their powerful memories and potential as great actors, refused. It was then revealed that Reca actually teleported the trio to safety. He helped them overwrite the Slumbernana Monkey virus by extracting Rappa's memetic virus, which was done by having the Trailblazer enter her mind.^[9]

Mr. Reca would later head to Dreamflux Reef, eliminating some of the Assistnanas and providing Robin with a DJ console, watching and recording the ensuing party for his film. Using his powers as a Memokeeper, Reca then removed memories regarding the incident from the general public. Later, he met with Rappa and gave her remuneration for assisting in his film with information on where Dr. Primitive had gone.^[7]

Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail

"Oh wow, we seem to be crossing paths a lot lately... Where could I have seen you before? Can you figure it out?"

Some of the following information is contained within the Fate/stay night Event as part of a collaboration with Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV series). Due to this, the information's canonicity is debatable.

Some time after the events in Paperfold University, Mr. Reca was contacted by Old Oti to make a documentary/promotional movie for The First Holy Grail War hosted in Penacony, in which historical figures from Penacony's past would be summoned to fight as Servants for those participating in the war. As part of his conditions for working for Oti, Mr. Reca requested Skott's Servant, Penacony's first filmmaker Grady, possess him so that he may access and record Grady's memories through use of his Memokeeper abilities.

During the War, Mr. Reca seemed to take more of a backseat position in regards to his body, letting Grady execute Skott and Oti's plans to take out the other Master in the War. However, he also seemed more than capable of taking control of his body when the need arose. Through this possession, Grady used his Noble Phantasm to trap the Trailblazer, Saber, Aventurine, Archer, Boothill, Robin, and Asna in recreations of three of his old horror films and used Mr. Reca's filmmaking Memokeeper abilities to pose as an invisible cameraman within the domain he created. Due to Skott's incompetence and generally being outplayed, Grady's Noble Phantasm was broken and everyone escaped. Using Mr. Reca's body, he delivered a message for the Masters and Servants to find Old Oti at the Penacony Grand Theater.

After Servant Oti's defeat and the destruction of the Holy Grail, Mr. Reca/Grady met with Oti in Dreemflux Reef. While Grady had words for Oti, Mr. Reca gave him an update on the footage he captured and the type of film he was able to compile. With the Holy Grail destroyed, the power holding Grady waned and his soul was laid back to rest.

Character Mentions

Character Voice-Overs

Character	Voice-Overs
Black Swan	About Mr. Reca  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ He's a great partner, but everyone has their own aesthetics... How should I put it? Many things aren't about right or wrong. It's just a matter of them being difficult to coexist.
Boothill	About Mr. Reca  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ This guy is always obsessed with his beloved muddle-fudgin' films, and when he gets fixated on something, he ignores everything else... It's unfair to call him a bad person, but if you're not cautious around him, you might end up as "film material" for this here diggity fudge.
Rappa	About the Ninja Gama  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ He traverses the visible world, compiling all things in search of the true way of the ninja. Yet all phenomena are mere illusions. As the Cosmic Ninjutsu Inscriptions read: "Dreams are dreamless, emptiness is not empty, neither coming nor going, only in the middle."
Robin	About Mr. Reca  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ Mr. Reca is a film fanatic. I find some of his actions hard to understand, but I fully appreciate his dedication to the art of cinema. If we ever have the chance to collaborate again, I think we should focus on peaceful and heartwarming themes.
