WHEN I FLEX, I FEEL MY BEST!! |
— PLUTO |
PLUTO is a character and optional enemy in OMORI. He also serves as a transportation system that OMORI and friends can use to travel to various worlds in HEADSPACE.
PROFILE[]
APPEARANCE[]
PLUTO appears to be a "giant statue" of rock representing the real-life planet Pluto but with buff arms and legs. He's described as intimidating. His overall appearance is based off of KEL's PET ROCK in the REAL WORLD.
His body looks like a small round planet with a grave, stoic face. He has muscular arms and legs extending from his disproportionally larger torso. His arms can be broken off during his first boss fight, leaving him armless until the fight ends.
His appearance changes in his second boss fight when he transforms into PLUTO (EXPANDED). In this form, PLUTO becomes much larger, and takes on a very muscular human shape, with the exception of his head which looks like half of a round planet where his head should be.
PERSONALITY[]
PLUTO is charismatic and often loud, but also can display a gentle passionate side when discussing his dreams and aspirations. He takes great gratification when showing off his strength, indicated by his favorite tagline: “When I flex! I feel my best!” PLUTO is defined by his unbreakable determination, characterized by a innate desire for freedom and an ability to forge his own path in life, which is why he escapes CAPT. SPACEBOY's planetarium. However, he also shows a desire to impress and help others, leading him into a contract with MR. JAWSUM, and becomes despondent when he proves unable to carry out his duty.
STORY[]
PROLOGUE[]
PLUTO is first referenced on a WANTED POSTER in the FOREST PLAYGROUND as a "ROGUE PLANET", which can only be seen after BASIL vanishes from HEADSPACE. He can later be found standing behind a tree northwest of MARI and her picnic at the OTHERWORLD CAMPSITE. Interacting with him will initiate a boss fight alongside the rogue planet's LEFT and RIGHT ARM. Note that PLUTO's encounter at the OTHERWORLD CAMPSITE is optional, and can be missed if he is not fought before the team helps him out after leaving the JUNKYARD. Upon defeat, PLUTO commends the party's strength before flying off.
After defeating DOWNLOAD WINDOW and leaving through the south exit of the JUNKYARD, PLUTO is seen running from the SPACE PIRATES, who are trying to bring him back to SPACE BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE. He asks OMORI and friends for their help to hide from them, and they suggest to hide him within a large hole to disguise himself as a fallen meteor. The plan works and the SPACE PIRATES leave without spotting PLUTO. PLUTO thanks the team and confesses to them of his dreams of freely travelling,[1] thus leading him to offer his services as PLUTO'S SPACELINE, the game's quick travel function.[2] He also teaches KEL how to FLEX.[3]
ALL ROUTES[]
On THREE DAYS LEFT, PLUTO makes a cameo in SWEETHEART'S CASTLE, where he is spouting a red liquid and posing as a fountain near the ROYAL BALLROOM. When OMORI and friends approach him, he flies away wordlessly.
At some point after OMORI enters the LOST LIBRARY, PLUTO signs a contract with MR. JAWSUM and works at LAST RESORT during the events of TWO DAYS LEFT. Next to HERO, he is allegedly one of the best employees. When MR. JAWSUM is defeated while trying to stop HERO from leaving LAST RESORT, he calls PLUTO to stop the team. Although the team pleads with him not to fight, considering their past relations, PLUTO expresses slight regret, but is unconvinced by them. He then expands into PLUTO (EXPANDED), initiating a boss fight directly after MR. JAWSUM.
Once defeated, PLUTO is prepared to press on to defeat the team, but MR. JAWSUM stops and dismisses him. PLUTO obeys and leaves the room through the elevator by walking and smashing a hole in the wall in the shape of himself. Walking into the hole and speaking to PLUTO will grant KEL a boost of 50 HP after training his endurance with PLUTO.
After this, PLUTO continues to help the team with his services at PLUTO'S SPACELINE.
OMORI ROUTE[]
OMORI and friends can revisit SPACE BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE on the ONE DAY LEFT segment and enter the Solar System area where THE EARTH could be found to find PLUTO again, standing next to the PLUTO-shaped hole where he originally belonged. He reminisces on his time with OMORI and his team and their unfinished battle at LAST RESORT.
THE EARTH then appears, and PLUTO tells the team his friend THE EARTH has been watching them in their journey, and that both of them wish to fight against the team for one last time. This initiates a boss fight with both PLUTO (EXPANDED) and THE EARTH as enemies. Once defeated, PLUTO expresses how proud he is of how far the team has come.

PLUTO Ah, it's a surprise to see you here, children. PLUTO My dream of owning a transportation station has taken me all around the universe... But it is still nice to come back home every now and then. PLUTO Sometimes, I miss my friends... like THE EARTH here. PLUTO THE EARTH and I go way back. Before we were confined to this Solar System... we soared through galaxy after galaxy, decimating everything in our path. PLUTO I still think very fondly of those times. PLUTO What's that, EARTH? PLUTO Hm... I see. PLUTO THE EARTH tells me that she has been keeping watch on your journey. She says that your growth has inspired her, and... that she wishes to challenge you to a battle. PLUTO Our last battle was cut short... but perhaps we can finish it now. What do you say?
PLUTO GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! PLUTO Then THE EARTH and I shall team up once again! Prepare yourselves, children. Victory will not come easy!
PLUTO Hm. I see. Perhaps another time, then.
PLUTO It seems that the student has surpassed the teacher. I always knew this day would come... but perhaps not so soon. PLUTO Thank you for humbling us, children. PLUTO Our time in the universe doesn't last forever. Even at my age, it is important to continue to learn and grow. Yes! That is what it means to be alive! PLUTO Go forth, children... and shine as bright as the stars in the galaxy! There are many that believe in you. More than you know! |

TRIVIA[]
- Defeating PLUTO in OTHERWORLD CAMPSITE (before finding the SPECIAL MIXTAPE) is required to obtain the GWAHAHAHA!! achievement.
- PLUTO can be seen as a faint silhouette standing on top of a mountain in the OTHERWORLD intro card.
- In the FOE FACTS, PLUTO and PLUTO (EXPANDED) count as separate enemies.
- When defeated at OTHERWORLD CAMPSITE, PLUTO's entry will list his name as ???, as the group doesn't know who he is. This changes to his actual name once the group properly meets him after leaving the JUNKYARD.
- Therefore, not fighting PLUTO in OTHERWORLD ruins the completion of the FOE FACTS as he cannot be re-encountered as an enemy once he's gone. By extension, this will prevent players from obtaining the Foes Filed! achievement.
- A grey, scrawny version of PLUTO can be found crying and sulking in CLOUD WALKWAY, one of the five primary BLACK SPACE 2 areas. If the player chooses to interact with him, the following text box mentions that the rogue planet doesn't look like himself, and OMORI should just leave him alone.[5]
- PLUTO and his expanded form's battleback are largely derived from SPACE EX-BOYFRIEND's battleback from the 2018 Kickstarter demo.
- According to MR. SCARECROW, the reason his CROW friends have scattered in different directions across the CATTAIL FIELD is due to PLUTO soaring past them at high speeds.[6]
- PLUTO was originally planned to have lines after defeating him in-battle but these lines were removed for unknown reasons. Along with that, he also had a few scrapped lines before using his STRONG ATTACK and EXPAND skills.
- This can be found in the text file titled "xx_battle_text.yaml" in the language directory.
- PLUTO has an unused version of his FOE FACTS! entry with different commentary from OMORI and KEL.[7]
- Around the presumed timeframe of OMORI, PLUTO was still considered a planet rather than a dwarf planet. This is alluded to by CAPT. SPACEBOY when mentioning that PLUTO was never meant to be a planet during his post-battle cutscene.[8]
- According to an OMOCAT Twitch stream, the reason PLUTO is very buff is due to him flexing a lot.[9]
