Broken Karma (PIU EDIT)

Before reaching the arcade, "Broken Karma" was a BMS piece entered into the 大血戦 -THE BMS OF FIGHTERS ULTIMATE- (BOFU2015) tournament, where Quree competed as "Quree vs proxy error." The entry posted a median score of 890 out of 1000 and an average rating of 852.2, finishing 177th in the individual standings. A dedicated PIU edit was later produced and debuted in Pump It Up XX through the 2.03.0 update, running at 180 BPM within the World Music / XX channel.

The visuals were handled by Lyrebird Ferdinant, with illustration work contributed by Dasu, a Vocaloid producer known for personally taking on the composition, lyrics, art, and video of her own songs. Players welcomed her involvement as soon as the teaser dropped, and the finished package captured the song's mystical mood well. Alongside Iolite Sky, it was regarded as one of the highlights of that update.

Charted by NIMGO, the steps are defined by dense, relentless runs. PHOENIX offers Single levels S11, S16, S19, and S21, plus Double D13, D20, and D23. The S19 is a toned-down take on the S21 with almost no twists, leaning instead on heavy runs, while the S21 adds twisting and sits in the lower-mid range of its level, rewarding fast feet, stamina, and raw physicality. On the Double side, D20 is built from endless half-double runs that clear easily but are tough to All Perfect, and D23 unfolds the S21 with little twisting, demanding endurance and standing as a lighter cousin to the D23 charts of BSPower Explosion and 천년이 지나서.
