Your Guide to Azul Ashengrotto’s TWST Wafer Card

Azul Ashengrotto — Twisted Wonderland Wafer 2, Card No.09 (Ceremony)

Disney’s Villain School and the World of Twisted Wonderland

Disney Twisted Wonderland — known among fans as TWST — is a Japanese smartphone RPG co-developed by Walt Disney Japan and Aniplex, which launched in Japan in March 2020. The game places players inside Night Raven College, a boys’ magic academy whose dormitories are each shaped by the legacy of a classic Disney villain. Character design comes from Yana Toboso, the manga artist behind Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji), lending the title its unmistakably gothic, dark-fantasy aesthetic. An English global version arrived in January 2022, establishing an international fanbase and driving demand for Japanese-market merchandise worldwide.

Octavinelle is the dormitory rooted in Ursula, the sea witch of The Little Mermaid (1989). Its identity runs deep into oceanic imagery — nautilus crests, blues, greens, and golds — and those visual cues carry directly into this card’s design: a dark blue background layered with a tentacle pattern, a gold decorative frame, a purple character name banner, and the Octavinelle crest positioned in the upper right corner.

Azul Ashengrotto, Octavinelle’s House Warden

Azul serves as the House Warden of Octavinelle and is the principal character of the game’s third story chapter. His lineage is cephalopod — a half-merman with octopus heritage, reflecting Ursula’s own form — though he presents himself with composed, almost academic elegance: silver hair, round glasses, and a lapel brooch designed to evoke cephalopod motifs. Beneath that poise is a mind built for contracts and negotiation, making him one of the more distinctive personalities in the game’s ensemble.

This card depicts him in his Ceremony costume, a formal dress uniform separate from Night Raven College’s standard attire. The look centers on a dark suit with green trim, a white shirt, a black-and-white striped tie, a green armband, and a matching ribbon — the full Octavinelle palette rendered in evening-wear terms. Azul carries a substantial official merchandise footprint in Japan, and the Ceremony costume represents a specific visual variant distinct from his everyday school uniform.

Japan’s Shokugan Tradition and How Wafer Cards Work

This card belongs to Japan’s shokugan format — a category where a collectible item is packaged together with a small candy or snack for retail sale. The word itself blends “food” (shoku) and “toy” (gan). In the case of wafer cards, a single glossy trading card ships with a thin wafer biscuit, sold through convenience stores, toy retailers, and general merchandise shops across Japan. Bandai has long produced this format across major anime and game franchises, and the Twisted Wonderland line is the second numbered edition in the series for this property.

The card inside each pack is determined randomly at purchase, meaning collectors who want a specific character — or a specific costume variant like Ceremony — typically need either multiple purchases or individual cards sourced separately after the wafer has been eaten, which is the common way single cards enter circulation. For international collectors, these sets reach the market through Japan’s domestic retail network, with personal export being the primary avenue for acquiring them abroad.
