Related Media[]
The ORIGIN setting appeared several times as a special card and event theme in the mobile game TSUKINO PARADISE. During the games run, a card series using each characters art from ORIGIN was released as a limited time gasha during TSUKIPARA.'s 2018 in-game AGF event, with cards being made for Six Gravity, Procellarum, SolidS, SOARA, Growth, & QUELL. The gasha was later revived in 2019 along with two new ORIGIN themed events, one for the TSUKIUTA. units (ORIGIN -Dark and Light- TSUKIUTA.-hen) and one for the ALIVE/SQ units (ORIGIN -Dark and Light- ALIVE・SQ-hen).
So far, unlike most other AGF settings released by TSUKINO, ORIGIN has yet to have physical media releases related to the world of ORIGIN. Other settings such as TSUKINO EMPIRE, TSUKIHANA KAGURA or Machine Elements have had at least one stage play release based in that world, usually accompanied by CD releases of theme music for the play that fits with the worlds theme. It's possible TSUKINO have yet to release an ORIGIN play due to the complexity of the characters costume designs and the logistical difficulty of several characters having large wings.
