With Truth FBD 10: the first clear on film

Before the dive: the card and the field

1. 1

   Start at the card: FORBIDDEN 10, no high score

   The film opens on With Truth's card before a single note falls: ARForest feat. nayuta, jacket illustrated by Karanagare, and a red 10 badge labeled DIFFICULTY FORBIDDEN. The HIGH SCORE line reads a dash — nobody on camera had cleared it yet. The side panel shows the Mei pairing at difficulty rating 150, and the community wiki's stub lists the ladder as MIN 1 / EVO 4 / ULT 8 / FBD 10. The FBD tier is the only one this film plays.

   

2. 2

   The field at zero: your deck versus the encounter

   At Phase 0 the HUD lays out the whole contract: score 000'000'000, an Encounter Score meter with all five stars empty, and the deck numbers — 9,615 / 10,361 on your side against the encounter's 4,400 / 6,000. Five cards sit staged along the left rail. The banner top-right pins the chart: With Truth, FBD 10, scroll speed 7.00.

   

Opening — the gauge is generous

1. 3

   The first beam pays three EXACTs

   With Truth opens kindly by FBD standards: one wide violet beam rides into the line and this frame catches three EXACT sparks at once — 000'877'621 on the HUD, miss gauge still at +14, Encounter Score just ticking over to 77. Nothing here punishes you yet. The opening's only job is to bank accuracy before the phases start spending it.

   

2. 4

   The flick arrow arrives early

   Twenty seconds in, the chart shows its mechanical hand: a hatched green flick arrow sweeps over a bracketed violet panel while three EXACTs land beneath it at 005'421'392. The brackets ride along the lanes and the EXACT lands inside them — the same cursor-panel language the ULT ladder teaches — while the flick asks for one decisive push instead of a tap. The gauge has not moved off +14.

   

3. 5

   The center stream builds, the gauge eases to +10

   A tall white-violet stream stacks down the middle lanes at 011'662'516, and the miss gauge reads +10 — the lowest this film ever shows it. Encounter Score has reached 1,022. Nothing about the pattern is exotic: this is a stamina check, both hands splitting the A–S and D–F clusters while the Umschalt rail waits on the left.

   

The climb — phases 2 to 5

1. 6

   Phase 2 files its first BREAK

   The phase counter flips to 2 and the chart starts mixing its verdicts: one red BREAK sits between four EXACT labels at 025'121'656. In a Confined Encounter a BREAK costs score, not the dive — the miss gauge is still reading +14 — but it marks where FBD 10's density starts collecting mistakes. The active card on the left edge is no longer the one the run started with.

   

2. 7

   Phase 3: combo 103 and the first star

   By 052'394'413 the run is deep in Phase 3: a green diagonal beam cuts across the lanes, the combo counter reads 103, the miss gauge is back to a full +15, and the Encounter Score meter has lit its first star at 9,207. This is the payoff stretch — everything the opening banked is compounding here, and the deck's skills are doing quiet work in the margins.

   

3. 8

   Phase 5 sweeps half the keyboard

   The last phase arrives with the widest geometry of the chart: a magenta beam floods the right lanes around a BREAK-EXACT pair at 092'062'206, Encounter Score at 19,559 with two stars lit, while the left edge keeps its own traffic moving. From here the song burns down to its final measures — and the deck has done its job.

   

The verdict — cleared, unlocked, recorded

1. 9

   DIVE CLEARED — the run survives the encounter

   The banner that usually ends a Confined Encounter in failure instead reads DIVE CLEARED. Every phase survived, the miss gauge never emptied, and With Truth FBD 10 has its clear. What follows is the tally — and, for once, the screens a first attempt never lives to see.

   

2. 10

   The final number: 095'030'849

   Before the result card settles, the HUD posts the run's final score — 095'030'849 — over an emptied field, with a CENTERED banner across the middle and the Encounter Score parked at 21,585 on two stars. The card to come will read MAX LINK 201: whatever the judgment mix, the chain kept coming back.

   

3. 11

   Song Unlocked: With Truth joins the library

   Then the screen a first clear is owed: a Song Unlocked splash with the WITH TRUTH jacket front and center. The card this run started from showed HIGH SCORE —, and the encounter that just ended was played on this very song's FORBIDDEN tier; the splash answers the obvious question in one line. Exact gating beyond what the screens show is not documented yet — this frame is the record.

   

4. 12

   The card: AA, 1348 judged notes, First Clear

   The DIVE RESULT reads EXACT 1175, EXACT 87, NEAR 38, BREAK 48 — 1348 judged notes in all, since no official note count is published anywhere. Grade AA at 095'030'849, MISS GAUGE 14, MAX LINK 201, a First Clear tag and six IOTA bonuses at 177 ×3. The Encounter Result line signs off at 000'021'585, two stars, CENTERED. For a sightread this card is unusually clean — and it is the record this page cites.
