v1.02

Gil Toss listed.  This never appeared in any Attack guide prior to this version
because I never noticed it's absence.

Thanks to Djibriel for informing me of a Valor bug, which also alerted me to
the above error (he used it as an example)!  Valor, of course, has also been
updated.
------------

------------
v1.01

The bit on Relm having Interceptor at some point has been removed.  There's no
evidence for it and it didn't turn up on my FC save.  I'm not sure why I even
wrote that to begin with.

Added relevant info on Rippler immunity to the appropriate sections.
------------

------------
v1.0

Initial release.

From this version on, the guide will comply with the GameFAQs 80 character
limit.

A new intro has been written.

2. General overview added, replacing 19. Status Explanations.

Rippler's special effect byte has been added, along with Entice and Overture.

20. Differences between FF6 Advance and the previous versions added.

21. Greetz and Thanx renamed.  It wasn't funny anymore. :\

General cleanup and a few redos or descriptions and such were made throughout
the guide, mainly in the second half.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Intro
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This guide was originally the Attack guide for Final Fantasy 3 U.S./6j/6
as appearing in Anthology.  However, there are a vast amount of changes from
the previous versions mostly having to do with names, so to prevent any
potential confusion I made this guide specifically for FF6 Advance.

The guide's purpose is still the same; to cover what nearly every attack in the
game does save for enemy Specials since those are part of enemy stats and not
their own attacks (the same reason why, say, CatScratch/Holy isn't covered
here).  I can't think of anything else to say, so....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ctrl+F is your friend!
-----

First and foremost before using this guide, LEARN CTRL+F!!!  This is usually
the shortcut for the Search function on your browser, which is also usually
found under Edit.  You can use this to look up certain words, sentences, etc.,
and is much easier than scrolling through the entire guide.

Key

Generally, this is what a spell will look like in the guide:

###. Spell/Esper name [Esper attack name]
Physical/Magical attack
Restorative
Targeting
Attack power/Effect
Elemental properties
Hit rate/unblockable/other hit detection, instant death protection
Other properties
Special effect

###.
Spell index number.  This only applies to spells on the main spell listing in
the ROM, and was here for quick lookup in FF3usME.  This is a relic from the
FF3us Attack guide and may be removed in future releases.

Spell/Esper name (Esper attack name)
Self-explanitory.  In the Espers section, the spell name is replaced by the
Esper's name, followed by the summon attack's name in parentheses.

Physical/Magical attack
Tells you if the given ability is physical or magical in nature.  Both types
follow their own attack formulas.  Physicals tend to always miss Invisible
targets while Magicals will always hit sans exceptions.  Note that there are
exceptions to this, especially with physical attacks; physicals that ignore
Invisible are noted on this same line.

Restorative
This appears with HP-healing spells to quickly seperate them from everything
else.  Note that positive status, including Regen, are not listed as such.
This may be followed by another property on the same line.

     (Inverts damage if target is undead)
     Against undead, the spell will do damage instead of healing.  The
     opposite applies to HP/MP draining skills.

Targeting
Will tell you whether the attack hits allies or enemies, one target or all,
whether it can hit both sides of a Side/Pincer attack, and if it only hits the
dead.

Attack power/Effect
Tells you the Attack power of an attack.  This Attack power is just the same to
any attack as it is to your equipped weapon, save for the fact that most
attacks carry their own Attack power of course.  If there is no Attack power,
the guide will just tell you the effect, and if both Attack power and an effect
are present, the effect will be listed on the next line.  The effect is usually
status-related, though some attacks do fractional damage and many have unique
effects explained here.

Elemental properties
Tells you which of the eight elementals applies to an attack out of Fire, Ice,
Lightning, Poison, Wind, Holy, Earth, and Water.  Note that the game ultimately
goes with the *best* effect given out of all the elementals, so if an enemy
absorbs either Fire, Ice, or Lightning for example, it doesn't matter how it
reacts to the other two elementals, it will absorb a tri-elemental Fire/Ice/
Lightning attack.

Hit rate/unblockable/other hit detection, instant death protection
Tells you the hit rate of an attack, if it's unblockable, or if it follows some
other set of rules like the Lv. # Lores.  If instant death protection blocks an
attack, it is listed afterward usually on the same line.  Some guidelines:

    Unblockable:
    Attack cannot be blocked by any means other than Jump.  If you're not off-
    screen, you'll be hit for sure unless other circumstances come into play
    like instant death protection.

    Perfect hit rate:
    Generally exactly the same as Unblockable.  This is another way of saying
    Hit Rate: 255.  There is only one instance where this and Unblockable
    differ and that's when Stamina becomes involved in the equation.  Stamina,
    if involved, is capable of letting a 128 Evade/M.Evade target dodge a 255
    hit rate attack, whereas Stamina has no effect against Unblockable either
    way.  This only becomes an issue with instant death Chainsaw and select
    enemies, mainly Cactuar.

    Level multiples:
    Against a target whose level is divisible by a given number, the attack is
    basically unblockable.  If the target's level isn't divisible, the attack
    won't ever connect.

    Dependent on target:
    Metamorphose's hit rate is dictated by the stats of the enemy it is trying
    to hit.  These are not given in this guide.

    Instant death protection:
    This is used to make many instant death attacks miss, along with many
    attacks that have nothing to do with instant death.  If you see this
    property on an attack, you can use a Safety Bit, Memento Ring, or an
    instant death-immune Rage to block said attack.  Such attacks will never
    break through this protection in FF6 Advance, though this was not the case
    in previous versions.

Other properties
Many other properties that weren't fit elsewhere go here.  A few are self-
explanitory, so here are the slightly/much more vague examples.

    Ignore defense:
    The attack will ignore the defense parts of the equation almost entirely;
    only select attributes affect these attacks, including, but not limited
    to, elemental defenses and split damage.  Protect and Shell have no
    effect.  However, this will also cause said attack to ignore all damage
    multipliers except for Valor, if applicable.

    No split damage:
    Attacks usually divide damage done to their victims by 2 if there's more
    than one target.  Attacks with this property ignore that tidbit.

    Randomize target:
    Neither characters nor enemies can control what abilities with this stat
    target.  These follow their own targeting scheme regardless of the
    caster's wishes.

    Reflectable:
    Since there are many more attacks that are unreflectable than not, those
    that can be bounced off have that noted instead of the other way around.

    Vulnerable to Runic:
    If Runic/Enemy Runic is in play, the spell will automatically target them,
    attempting to heal their MP for their cost.  Note that such healing
    doesn't work very well when elemental protections come into play, at worst
    elemental absorption will *cost* the Runic user MP instead.

Special effect
Lists what the special effect of the attack does along with the value of the
effect as listed in the ROM.  Note that the value of the effect is a relic from
the FF3us guide and may be removed in future versions since there's really no
use for it to the casual gamer.

-----
Status explanations
-----

There are 32 different status in the game not counting other specialized
ailments and effects.  The first you should learn about are the normal 32, then
a few other specialized status.  If you want more in-depth descriptions of
these, check out the Algorithms FAQ:

http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/file/final_fantasy_iii_algorithms.txt

Darkness
Lowers Hit Rate of the affected, or would if it worked; its capability in FF6A
is still being debated as no one who knows GBA's assembly language has looked
into the matter.  Long time fanatics of Final Fantasy 6 may remember that
fixing Evade does not fix Darkness and other status effects that affected hit
rate; that is another matter entirely.  Darkness is one of the status that
thwarts Strago from learning Lores, which is always fun to point out since in
previous versions, this was definitely the only effect it had to be concerned
about.

Zombie
Lowers HP to 0 and causes the victim to attack enemies and allies as if they
were under Berserk status.  While missing Berserk's damage bonus, those that
are zombified can occasionally cause Darkness or Poison with their attacks.
The affected is effectively dead and Zombie can cause a game over.  Monsters
with Zombie vanish from the battlefield as though they were dead or petrified,
but will still attack.  Zombie characters cannot use Critical attacks.

Poison
Causes Poison-elemental damage at longer intervals than Regen/Sap/HP Leak.
Damage upgrades from normal damage (what Sap and Regen would do) every
interval, maxing out at 8X damage.

Invisible
Character cannot be hit by physical attacks with no exceptions other than a
few commands like Trance and Runic (IOW, nothing to worry about).  Magics,
however, will have a perfect hit rate against such targets.  Invisible
characters cannot use Critical attacks.

Imp
Afflicted cannot use any Magic but the Imp spell or any special abilities save
for Mimic (which is hindered accordingly).  For characters, Battle Power and
Defense from equipment drop to pretty much nothing while other bonuses remain
intact, though Imp equipment such as Impartisan are the reverse, their Battle
Power and Defense only benefiting Imps.  For monsters, any ability that
requires MP is offlimits save for Imp, though there are many skills available
to enemies that do not have an MP cost and can therefore still be used under
this status.  There is one additional note to add here that is specific to
FF6A; immunity to Imp status also grants immunity to the Lore spell Rippler for
reasons I can only speculate on.

Petrify
Affected is petrified and treated as dead.  Monsters with Petrify disappear
from the battlefield as if they were dead, but characters remain standing and
can still be targeted by either side.  Petrified characters do not take damage
from any attack other than another character using Ultima Weapon (Ultima Weapon
has a bug which allows it to inflict 1 damage versus Petrify targets), but can
still lose the status and become KO if struck by an instant death skill.
Petrify targets also cannot receive any other new status save for KO.  Against
Petrify targets, attacks and such virtually have a perfect hit rate if they
aren't already unblockable.

KO
Target is dead and can only be hit by skills meant for that condition, such as
Raise.  Obviously if you only have Zombies, Petrify characters, and/or KO'ed
characters remaining, it's game over.  This can be prevented in a good way by
Reraise (casts Raise when the affected is KO'ed), or in a bad way by Cloudy
Heaven (target turns into a Zombie when KO'ed regardless of Zombie immunity).
KO occurs either via an instant death skill or when your HP drops to 0.  True
KO immunity only technically exists and cannot be used by anyone in the normal
game.  You'll have to rely on instant death protection to ward off things like
Death and Banish, even if there are some flaws in that plan....

Doom
Affected has a timer over their head.  When it reaches 0, a modified version of
Death is cast that can only be blocked by instant death protection such as
Safety Bit.  However, this version of Death still revives the Undead, or anyone
in an undead Rage or wearing the Lich's Ring has nothing to fear.

Critical
Affected has less than 1/8 of their max HP left.  This does nothing for enemies
in particular, but characters with this status may be able to launch critical
attacks (see section 15. Critical attacks).  There are restrictions on this,
and the status-related ones are that Zombie, Invisible, Image, and Confuse
prevent Critical attacks from occurring.  The rest you can find in the
Algorithms FAQ.

Image
Affected cannot be struck by physical attacks that don't have a perfect hit
rate or are unblockable.  Each physical blow that misses because of Image,
however, has a 1 in 4 chance of removing the status.  Characters with Image
cannot use Critical attacks.

Silence
Affected cannot use anything that costs MP.  Characters are barred from
accessing Magic and Lore, despite the fact that there is a Lore that can still
be used with this status (Reflect ???) due to its 0 MP cost.  If you are in the
Magic or Lore menu when Silence hits, you won't be kicked out of the menu, but
if you're not going to use Reflect ??? then don't bother picking anything.

Berserk
Affected receives a physical damage bonus, but acts automatically.  Monsters
can only use normal attacks, while characters can use normal attacks, and if
available, Jump, Rage, Mug, or Magitek abilities.

Confuse
Affected acts automatically, targeting the opposite side of whatever they use
is supposed to target (healing spells are directed at enemies while attacks are
directed at allies, for example).  Monsters can use the same attacks available
to them in the Coliseum and to Relm/Gogo when the monster is controlled (every
monster has such a listing whether or not they're controllable or available in
the Coliseum).  Characters can only use certain abilities, none of which affect
item count at least, but if a character is confused after they've chosen an
action to take, that action will proceed anyway but with Confuse's influence
altering their targeting.  Confused characters can't use Critical attacks.
This status can be dispelled by any damaging physical attack, in addition to
appropriate status removal spells such as Esuna.

Sap
Affected loses HP at regular intervals, with a max of 255 lost each time.  Sap
is the polar opposite of Regen, and either status will replace the other if
one is applied to the same target that already bears the opposing status (if
possible).  Note that immunity to one causes immunity to the other, so
protection from Sap means protection from Regen, and if one is permanent, the
other cannot be applied.

Sleep
Affected cannot take action for some time.  Sleeping targets can be awoken by
damaging physical attacks in addition to appropriate status removing spells.
When Sleep's timer reaches 0, the affected launches an unblockable, specialized
version of the Tapir spell that only removes Sleep from the affected and
nothing more.  Against Sleeping targets, attacks and such virtually have a
perfect hit rate if they aren't already unblockable.

Dance
Character moves automatically and uses one of four attacks specified by their
selected Dance each turn.  Dance can be broken by another dancing character,
however, who uses a different Dance to change the background.  The previous
dancer once again has a 50/50 chance to stumble, and if it happens, the status
disappears.  Otherwise, the only cures are KO status and, due to a bug,
Rippler.  Dance has no effect on any monster affected by the status.

Regen
Affected gains HP at regular intervals, with a max of 255 gained each time.
However, if the affected is undead, Regen will cause damage instead.  Regen is
the polar opposite of Sap, and either status will replace the other if one is
applied to the same target that already bears the opposing status (if
possible).  To the undead, though, they may as well be the same thing.  Note
that immunity to one causes immunity to the other, so protection from Regen
means protection from Sap, and if one is permanent, the other cannot be
applied.

Slow
Character has a harder time filling the ATB gauge and takes longer to launch
spells and attacks and such.  Slow is the polar opposite of Haste, and either
status will replace the other if one is applied to the same target that already
bears the opposing status (if possible).  Note that immunity to one causes
immunity to the other, so protection from Slow means protection from Haste, and
if one is permanent, the other cannot be applied.

Haste
Character fills the ATB gauge faster and is quicker to launch attacks once
selected.  Haste is the polar opposite of Slow, and either status will replace
the other if one is applied to the same target that already bears the opposing
status (if possible).  Note that immunity to one causes immunity to the other,
so protection from Haste means protection from Slow, and if one is permanent,
the other cannot be applied.

Stop
Affected cannot take action for some time.  Against Stopped targets, attacks
and such virtually have a perfect hit rate if they aren't already unblockable.
Other status timers and those such as Regen are stopped as well, and will not
count down or heal/do damage again until Stop wears off.

Shell
Affected takes less damage from Magical attacks.  Note that if an attack is
defense-ignoring, Shell has no effect against it.

Protect
Affected takes less damage from Physical attacks.  Note that if an attack is
defense-ignoring, Protect has no effect against it.

Reflect
Certain Magical attacks will bounce off the affected and at the opposite party.
Most of these are under the Magic command with only one exception (TekBarrier).
Note that Invisible status renders Reflect's protection inoperable, and an
already-reflected attack will not bounce off Reflect a second time.  Reflect
does not last forever and will fade away after awhile.

<-----NOTE----->
There is no immunity for any status listed beyond this point with exception to
Float, which the Angel Wings relic only provides to make its given Float status
permanent.
<-----NOTE----->

Rage
Character acts automatically, using either a normal attack or another specified
by the monster currently being used.  Rage characters also gain certain
properties of their chosen monster, including elemental defenses and
weaknesses, permanent status and status immunities, and miscellaneous others.
Note that instant death protection, or lack thereof, replaces whatever the
character already has, so if you're wearing a Safety Bit and choose a monster
who has no such protection, the instant death protection part of Safety Bit no
longer has an effect.  Other status immunities are added to yours, and any
other status immunities you had before remain regardless of if the monster had
them as well.  Rage can only be removed by KO or, due to a bug, Rippler.
Monsters with Rage status are not affected by the status.

Freeze
Affected cannot take action for some time.  This lasts quite a bit longer than
either Stop or Sleep, but can be removed by Fire-elemental skills of any kind
in addition to very specific healing abilities, namely Soul Spiral and Wild
Bear.  Against Frozen targets, attacks and such virtually have a perfect hit
rate if they aren't already unblockable.

Reraise
Affected has Raise cast on itself automatically when KO'ed.  This also works
for the undead, though Raise won't do anything when they're dead.  Undead
monsters with Reraise, however, can no longer be revived by such attacks as
Death and weapons like Wing Edge; their typical death/revival animation tricks
Reraise into activating, launching the automatic Raise spell and killing the
monster.  Reraise disappears once it casts Raise.

Trance
Character's attack and defense are boosted for a short period indicated by a
green ATB gauge winding down to nothing.  At the end of it, the character uses
Revert automatically to remove the status.  Monsters receive nothing from this
status.

"Hide"
Affected is hidden from sight and cannot be manually targeted.  Characters with
this status that are capable of movement (say from using Quetzalli's Sonic Dive
on the enemy) act on their own as if they were in the Coliseum.  Life and
Life 2 in previous versions could remove this status, but Raise and Arise in
FF6 Advance no longer have that ability for unknown reasons.  My theory on this
can be found in section 20. Differences between FF6 Advance and the previous
versions.

Interceptor
A unique status only Shadow gets, this allows Interceptor to block physical
attacks, and even gives the affected the ability to block attacks from behind
during a Pincer attack.  Interceptor might even counterattack on his own (see
section 16. Interceptor).  Note that due to a bug, Rippler can trade this
status, and if it is in the hands of a monster at the end of combat, this very
beneficial status is permanently lost.  The trade is preventable however simply
by having Imp immunity as it also prevents Rippler from working, on top of the
fact that Rippler can be blocked by high Magic Evade.  This status has no
effect on monsters.

Float
Affected cannot be struck by land-based attacks such as Chocobo Stampede and
Quake.  Note that the Earth elemental is NOT synonymous with an attack being
land-based, as there are a few land-based non-elemental attacks, and LifeShaver
and the Gravity Rod weapon have no problem hitting Floating targets.

-----
Specialized status
-----

These status are not handled like the others and are problematic to cure, if
not outright impossible without ending the battle.  There is no immunity for
most of these status either.  These aren't all the specialized status in the
game, just some of the more common few you can get rid of or are worth
knowing more about ahead of time.

Enemy Float
Same as Float, except this is usually unremovable.  There is one exception;
Opinicus Fish have been known to lose this status for unknown reasons.

Runic
Affected can absorb one particular Magical attack vulnerable to the status, and
have its MP cost's worth added to their own MP in turn.  Once a spell is
absorbed or the affected chooses another action, however, Runic is lost.  Also,
the MP gain, should the spell absorbed be elemental in nature, can be affected
by elemental defenses.  Elemental absorption turns the gain into a loss, for
example.

Enemy Runic
Same as Runic, but is with the monster from the beginning of battle and never
fades.

Entice
Exactly the same as Confuse in effect.  However, Entice can only be cured by
getting rid of the original caster or knocking out/petrifying/zombifying the
affected.  Either one running away is just as effective.  Note that if someone
has used Entice, that same enemy/ally cannot Entice another target until the
status is broken.  If Confuse and Entice are affecting the same target, that
target's aiming is affected twice over, and its behavior will be no different
than in the Coliseum.

Overture
Affected covers for the caster, much like they would for a Critical character
when wearing Knight's Code.  This can be broken by taking out either the
original caster or the affected with KO, Zombie, Petrify, or making either run
away.  It is also broken if Overture is used by the original caster again on
another target and successfully connects.

Heat
Caused by Air Anchor, targets with this status die after their next action.
While Air Anchor itself will not hit those with instant death protection, the
status still works against those that gain it after Air Anchor strikes (Gau for
instance).

HP Leak
Given only by Poltergeist, this status drains a small amount of HP from the
target at quicker intervals than Regen and Sap, and can only be cured by KO,
Zombie, and Petrify.

Sky
Causes physical attacks to virtually have a perfect hit rate against the
affected, but once an applicable physical attack is used (normal and Special
attacks), the affected counters with the Bushido attack Sky.  If the affected
is an Imp, it will use a normal physical attack for the counter instead.  This
status is lost once the Bushido Sky is used or the character chooses another
action.  A character with Imp cannot lose the Sky status by countering with a
normal physical attack, however, which is a bug.  If the character dies with
Sky status active, is revived in the same battle, and allowed to restore the
status, Sky will counter if any applicable physical attack is used on anyone,
which is another bug.  The combination of the Imp and post-KO bugs creates the
famous Psycho Cyan bug, which drives the affected Imp into a nearly-unstoppable
frenzy of counterattacks.

Grab
The affected character is in the clutches of an enemy, who is draining a small
amount of HP from its victim at regular intervals.  The caster can release the
character on its own via Release, can be forced to when the character dies from
the HP drain, or can be forced to by being KO'ed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Command Attacks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Control

Special Effect:
53h = Takes control of enemy (Control)

Gil Toss
Physical attack

<-----NOTE----->
Mimicking this attack still takes Gil!  It is the only such attack that still
drains resources under Mimic.
<-----NOTE----->
Unblockable
Ignores defense, no split damage, retargets if target is dead.
Special effect:
51h = Takes user Level * 30 Gil, Gil taken * 2 / # of targets determines
damage.

Leap

User leaps onto opponent and ends battle, Gau disappears from party roster.
Unblockable
Retargets if target is dead.

Unblockable
Ignores defense, reflectable, vulnerable to Runic.

Revert
Physical attack (ignores Invisible ala Item)
Targets self
Removes Morph status from target.
Unblockable

Roulette
<-----NOTE----->
This is the enemy version of the spell, as cast by a special command (1Eh in
the menu if it were accessible from there).  The reason for two seperate
listings is due to different properties (this Roulette is a modified Death).
Please note that this can only be cast by an enemy if it comes from their
command script or counterattack script, any other way will make use of the Lore
version instead (although coming from an enemy, the aim will not be random).

Also, please note that the MP cost and Learn if cast property are assumed and
not in this spell's stats, they come from the Lore Roulette because its stats
are loaded for the initial cast (just before the random cursor is launched),
probably just for those two reasons.  Finally, Learn if cast is listed since
this spell isn't in the Lore section, where the property is just assumed to
exist in all listed spells.
<-----NOTE----->
Magical attack (ignores Invisible ala Item)
Hits a random target
MP cost: 10
Causes instant death
Unblockable (Will miss targets invulnerable to instant death)
Learn if cast (Strago).
Special effect:
35 = Restores undead target's HP to full (Death, enemy Roulette, Death (Doom
status))

Runic
<-----NOTE----->
While Runic the command cannot be used without a sword, this only goes so far
as to gray out the command when you have no sword.  If you are muddled, etc.,
you can still use Runic automatically.
<-----NOTE----->
Physical attack (ignores Invisible ala Item)

6. Items
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

<-----NOTE----->
Spell-casting items such as Fire Rod, etc. are not included.  See the spells
stats in the Magic section, but remember that they do not remove Invisible, are
unblockable, ignore defense, and only deal maximum damage possible if used
by breaking an item (they're known as Item magics by some, and Item is
referenced with Invisible-ignoring physicals in this guide because of similar
behavior).

About items in general; they ignore the Invisible status and usually don't miss
on their own unless something else interferes, like Fenix Down being used on a
living target for example.

20. Differences between FF6 Advance and the previous versions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A quick lookup for those curious about how attacks differ from FF3us and such.
Keep in mind that some difference explanations contain slight spoilers for
late-game monster abilities.

-----
Magics
-----

Banish - Can no longer be absorbed by Runic.  This is to prevent a
disappearance bug from popping up with Bit and Gold Dragon (second form).

Imp    - Can no longer be absorbed by Runic.  This prevents a monster sprite
bug from occurring with Gold Dragon (second form) and solves the same bug with
Bit from prior releases.

Raise  - Cannot heal "Hide" status.  May have to do with the monster
disappearance bugfix for what's commonly known as Reraise/X-Zone (Reraise/
Banish), but I'm not certain.*

Arise  - Cannot heal "Hide" status.  May have to do with the monster
disappearance bugfix for what's commonly known as Reraise/X-Zone (Reraise/
Banish), but I'm not certain.*

New additions - Flood, Gravija, and Valor

* Reraise/X-Zone simply refers to the fact that enemies hit with X-Zone/Banish
in other releases lose their sprite entirely.  If these beasts are revived,
there's nothing for the cursor to point at anymore, making manual targeting
impossible.  However, solving the bug means enemies hit with Banish are
unrevivable, and at least one other bug has crept up as a result of this fix
(Curlax will get stuck casting Arise constantly if Laragorn falls to Banish).

-----
Espers
-----

New additions - Leviathan (Tidal Wave), Cactuar (1000 Needles and 10,000
Needles?), Diabolos (Dark Messenger), and Gilgamesh (Excalibur, Excalipoor,
Masamune, Enkidu)
