Transparency — FBD 10

• ▸Single source: TrappyTheDemon's FORBIDDEN 10 sightread of くるぶっこちゃん's Transparency (uploaded 2026-09-10) — the Arc 1: The First Lie song's ceiling at 1,186 notes, two levels above ULT 8, played as a CONNECT dive with NIA paired against ???
• ▸The cross-check lands exactly: the result card's four rows — EXACT 961 + 101, NEAR 58, BREAK 66 — sum to 1,186, matching the catalog's FBD note split (tap 220 + hold 429 + field 287 + flick 250) judgement for judgement.
• ▸A rank-A first clear, not a full combo: 66 BREAKs and 58 NEARs end any FC claim. HIGH SCORE read a dash before the dive and DIFFERENCE repeats the full +091'990'843. MAX LINK 174, MISS GAUGE 10, ENCOUNTER RESULT 000'089'820 with a CONNECTED chip.
• ▸Capture quirks, quoted as seen: side-lane labels read Umschalt and Leer (the player's system locale), and the creator's live-stream badge is patched out of seven stills; the video itself is untouched.

One video backs every still below: TrappyTheDemon's In Falsus sightread of Transparency on FORBIDDEN 10 (3:03, uploaded September 10, 2026). Deep links in each step jump to the matching moment.

The upload has no spoken commentary — its only caption track is auto-generated filler mishearing the BGM — so every fact here is read off the screen and checked against the song catalog. The capture carries the creator's live-stream badge on its left edge — avatar, "CrabbyTheDemon [12,875]" chip, PKTR tag and LIVE badge; recorder overlay, not game UI — patched out of seven stills with two delogo fills measured on the 1600-wide frames (the full badge strip, and the frames where the fade had already swallowed the text and only the avatar medallion remained); the four stills where the fade had removed it entirely are untouched. The video itself is untouched and linked in full. The side-lane key labels read Umschalt and Leer — the player's system locale, quoted as seen.

Levels and the note split come straight from the site's song catalog (game version 1.0.2c) — the numbers the result card is checked against in step 11, to the judgement.

1. 1

   Confirm the chart: FORBIDDEN 10

   The detail screen states the terms in red: a 10 on DIFFICULTY FORBIDDEN — the tier above ULTIMATE and this song's ceiling — beside the Transparency jacket crediting ILLUST cyawa. HIGH SCORE still reads a dash. A CONNECT panel pairs NIA with ??? at DIFFICULTY RATING 61, showing 2,000 and 3,400 in rewards. The panel is quoted as shown; how the encounter scores itself is not read into it.

   

2. 2

   Meet the CONNECT pairing

   The intro stages the encounter over an empty highway: the CONNECT banner, the in-play song chip reading Transparency · FBD 10 · SPEED 7.00, and the two partners flanking the track — one rail is NIA, the other ???. Both gauge rails open at 100.00 % (8,445 and 3,400 of their targets), quoted as shown. CONNECT scores the pair jointly; the split is watched, not judged, through the whole run.

   

3. 3

   The opening wedge at zero

   Play starts from PHASE 0 with the score still 000'000'000: one purple wedge rides the yellow guide line toward the A–S–D–F judgement line while both rails sit at 100.00 %. The chart opens unhurried — worth banking early EXACTs on, because the middle does not stay this polite (step 5).

   

4. 4

   The first full-width slab

   The chart's first signature arrives early: a translucent slab spanning nearly the whole highway, taken at EXACT EXACT EXACT with the combo on 28 and the score at 001'881'868. Full-width slabs like this one are why the FBD chart reads harder than its ULT 8 rung below — they force all four lanes into one timing window.

   

5. 5

   Where the combo breaks

   Honest mid-chart moment: an EARLY / LATE / NEAR / BREAK stack over the centre lanes drops the combo to 8 at 020'360'984, with the right rail sagging to 20.94 %. The FBD chart's 66 BREAKs cluster in stretches like this one — overlapping wedges and fields at speed — and the run never fully recovers its chain.

   

6. 6

   Triple EXACT and the gold burst

   The recovery: three lanes EXACT at once — two on the long violet slab, one on the right wall — while a gold field-cell burst lights the Leer lane at 025'706'071. Field cells reward held pads rather than taps; the catalog assigns 287 of the chart's 1,186 notes to field, and broken chains start coming back here.

   

7. 7

   The gold hexagon cell at PHASE 4

   Midway through PHASE 4 the gold beam lands a hexagon field cell dead centre at combo 82 and 062'675'043, while the right rail reads -106.91 % — the ??? partner is falling behind on their own gauge. The left rail is still above 74 %; the pair carries on regardless, and CONNECTED at the end (step 11) says the gamble held.

   

8. 8

   The late violet dome

   Near the end, a bracketed violet dome rides the centre line at combo 6 — the second rebuild after the mid-chart break — beside a wide slab on the left wall at 089'512'208. The right rail closes at -200.32 %. Keep hands loose through these final brackets: the dome must be held, not tapped, and a late BREAK here costs the rank.

   

9. 9

   DIVE CLEARED

   The in-play HUD freezes at 091'990'843 and the DIVE CLEARED banner takes the screen over the emptied highway. The gauge rows dim out with the left rail at 63.74 % and the overlay reading -225.66 — both quoted as shown on the closing frames.

    Read the result card

    The card settles at SCORE 091'990'843, rank A, EXACT 961 + 101, NEAR 58, BREAK 66 — summing to 1,186, the catalog's FBD split exactly. MAX LINK 174, MISS GAUGE 10, HIGH SCORE a dash, DIFFERENCE +091'990'843, the IOTA row posting six BONUS slots at 133 ×2 with a First Clear tag, and ENCOUNTER RESULT 000'089'820 with four of five stars and a CONNECTED chip. No Assist Mode slot appears anywhere on the card.

    

11. 11

    Song Unlocked

    The capture closes on a Song Unlocked banner over the Transparency jacket — the run registered the song at its top difficulty. What is left is polish: 66 BREAKs is a fair first-visit number, and the chart's full-width slabs and gold field cells are the two stretches worth replaying first.
