It didn’t take long for the Weibo to be shared everywhere, in particular in the ACG community,
This song actually had several Chinese versions. Chen Mo chose the version that was closest to the original and better suited the title Gokuraku Jodo.
In Chen Mo’s previous life, Onmyoji made this song popular. This song was associated with Onmyoji ever since MikuMikuDance models of Onmyoji were made.
It was because Gokuraku Jodo and Onmyoji were both popular in the ACG community, and had an even better effect on the ACG community when combined. This was why Chen Mo decided to use this song to promote the ga as its the song.
In just a few days ti, Gokuraku Jodo took over the dance section of every major streaming platform.
The song spread at an incredibly speed. It received explosive growth on the first day, there were people learning the dance on the second day. It didn’t take long before song and dance covers started appearing!
The dance, covers, and ACG sections of major streaming sites were all filled with Gokuraku Jodo. Many of them have listened to it many tis and could recite the dance moves backwards.
And Onmyoji was also becoming more and more familiar.
Gokuraku Jodo’s explosive growth did wonders to Onmyoji.
It started on Weibo, where many artists posted their creations of the characters from Onmyoji. So were cute, so were alluring, and all of them were based on Onmyoji.
There were original works as well as commissioned works. Onmyoji beca a popular topic among the most influential in the ACG community.
There were also sketches related to Onmyoji, focusing on interactions between Shikigami in the story, which also beca trending on Weibo.
It didn’t end there, Chen Mo released another video following that, titled ‘Onmyoji Mobile Ga Voice Actor Promotional Video: Complete Version’.
This video covered all the artwork and voicelines of Shikigami. Although it was very short as each Shikigami only had one line, the lineup of voice actors were still really shocking.
“My goodness, this voice actor lineup is amazing. They are all the top voice actors for ani!”
“Kugimiya? Kazuhiko Inoue? Taro Kubo? Aki Toyosaki[1]? What a way to spend money!”
“Ahhh! My ears are pregnant!”
“These drawings are so good I want to lick the screen!”
“Can soone make sure it’s a mobile card ga? A mobile card ga?”
“Maybe it’s only cards in the ga with no models. Did you forget about I Am MT? It’ll be amazing if they even give an animated card, I think that it’s just a gimmick!”
“If Chen Mo was willing to spend so much money on the artwork, music, voice acting, it wouldn’t be a stretch for him to spend money on models too! If he made 2D models like Demon Slayers 2, it’s going to look so much better than Demon Slayers 2!”
“I don’t think Chen Mo will settle with being the sa as Demon Slayers 2, he never liked being the sa in the past. Anyways, is a card ga that has no cards still a card ga?”
“Whatever, let’s just wait for the ga to be released. I can’t wait!”

Onmyoji was finally released!
This ti, Chen Mo released on both Thunderbolt Gaming Platform and the official appstore in order to reach out to as many mobile card ga players as possible.
Chen Mo didn’t spend a huge sum of money on advertising like Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt, nor did he have a huge IP. However, Onmyoji didn’t lose in the popularity departnt compared to Demon Slayers 2.
It was because Chen Mo chose the ACG community as the start of his promotions. There are artists, dances, sketch producers, and other creators, a community filled with creative people.
And you could even say the quality of Onmyoji was as good as it gets, especially in characters and voice acting which were completely unique in the Chinese video ga market. It didn’t take long before it attracted the attention of many fans of the ACG community.
These fans would also willingly promote Onmyoji, artists would make their own creations, and creators would promote one another. Combined with Chen Mo’s own promotion, it was easy for the ga to promote itself.
In addition to Gokuraku Jodo’s popularity, Chen Mo’s previous works, and a wave of excitent in the mobile card ga market driven by Demon Slayers 2, it allowed Onmyoji to gather the attention of many before release.
Chen Mo spent much less money on advertising compared to Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt, but it achieved more or less the sa effect.
Many players started downloading Onmyoji from either the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform or the official app store.
They realised the ga was quite big?
“My goodness, the internet is so slow. How co it’s not done after two minutes?”
“I’m not doing either. Hold on, this ga is over 1GB!”
“Huh? You’re joking right? It’s a card ga!”
“My goodness, it actually is 1GB, no wonder it was so slow.”
“I’m out of storage on my phone, I have to delete so things!”
“It’s just a mobile card ga. I thought that 480MB for Demon Slayers 2 was a bit ridiculous, but Onmyoji is 1GB?”
“Maybe Chen Mo is back to his old self? Ten years making gas, nine years in CG? Maybe there are lots of cinematics in this?”
“My goodness, what is he trying to do?”
“I think it’s a good thing, this ans that Chen Mo isn’t trying to hustle us. This ga must be really high quality. Just think about the voice acting and the artwork. This shouldn’t be the usual card based card ga.”
“Makes sense. I’m done downloading now! I’m playing the ga!”
The ga started with a simple cinematic.
“This story happens in a ti where humans and monsters live together...”
It was a deep Japanese dub with a mysterious background music, covering the world that the ga was placed in.
“This magnificent and splendid, whimsical world, which belongs to the demons and monsters, is all yours to explore...”
There were four different characters on the screen after the cinematics ended, all with their unique features.
It was Abe no Seii, Kagura, Hiromasa, and Yao Bikuni.
The players were shocked to see artwork of shuck high quality, trumping every other mobile card ga on the market! Nobody would doubt if soone took a screenshot of this claiming it was from a PC ga.
TL note: It’s not her na in the raws, but it was close, I just assud it was her because all the other nas are actual voice actors for the ga.
