Shibuya [Beta] Races and Origins

Checked

On the Shibuya [Beta] character reset screen, the row labeled Race opens a window titled Origin, meaning both terms refer to the exact same system (the reset panel, one creator clip, 4 Nov 2026). In 87% of rolls, you will land on one of the two Common options: Human or Cursed Spirit. You can pick either baseline option directly during setup without gambling, or press OR ROLL to draw from the four rarity bands.

Race and Origin are the same panel

When you enter the reset screen, the left column presents four distinct options: Race, Clan, Hair, and Cursed Technique. Selecting the top row brings up a full-screen interface headed Origin, displaying the prompt "Pick one, or leave it to fate."

The interface includes a prominent button labeled OR ROLL alongside Roll, Reroll, Buy Rerolls, and Skip roll animation controls. A tracker displays N rolls left to reflect your remaining inventory. If you want a specific starter build without spending currency, you can click your chosen starter directly rather than rolling into the random pool.

The two options in plain words

The creation screen presents two baseline options with printed descriptions explaining their core gameplay tradeoff. Both sit in the Common tier and do not require rerolls to acquire.

  1. Human: "Trade a racial ability for an extra learned skill."
  2. Cursed Spirit: "Regenerate with cursed energy, at a cost."

If your combat plan relies on adding an extra combat move or technique utility, Human gives you that skill flexibility. If you prefer sustaining your health pool through cursed energy during attrition fights, Cursed Spirit provides passive or active regeneration.

The exact stat penalty, energy drain rate, or health threshold implied by "at a cost" was not read in the menu interface.

Bands and odds

If you choose to press OR ROLL, your character draws from four rarity bands displayed on the Origin panel legend (the reset panel, one creator clip, 4 Nov 2026). The panel gives pull odds here. It gives no combat numbers.

Band Odds What sits here What it means
Mythic 2% Death Painting Top rarity band on the Origin panel
Epic 4% Mutated Corpse Second rarity tier behind rolls
Rare 7% Incarnated Sorcerer Mid-tier roll outcome
Common 87% Human, Cursed Spirit Default baseline comprising most rolls

Because Common occupies 87% of the distribution, the vast majority of attempts return Human or Cursed Spirit. Rolling for higher tiers requires substantial currency volume. Compare these pull chances with family surname probabilities in our Clan bands breakdown, or check our Keep or reroll guide to decide whether your current band is worth keeping.

Race Variant is a separate product

Roblox developer products checked 9 Nov 2026 list Race Variant Reroll as an independent purchase alongside standard Race Rerolls.

Product Pack Size Total Price Price per Roll
Race Variant Reroll 1 Roll R$99 R$99
Race Variant Reroll 5 Rolls R$490 R$98
Standard Race Reroll 1 Roll R$99 R$99
Standard Race Reroll 5 Rolls R$495 R$99

Standard rerolls offer no bulk discount on the 5-pack, keeping the price flat at R$99 per roll. The 5-pack of Race Variant Rerolls is the only 5-pack product in the entire store that offers a per-roll price reduction (checked 9 Nov 2026). However, what a Race Variant alters on your avatar and whether it overrides your base race was not read. Before purchasing currency, use our Reroll planner to budget your spending.
