形勢表

Misaka Mikoto (Toaru Majutsu no Index) vs. Charlotte Dunois (IS <Infinite Stratos>)

"I am not just some pretty girl with a pretty face."
When society looks up to someone with high expectations, that person is put in a bind against true nature. Such a clash between one's wishes and society's views has happened to these two combatants. Coming from a rich, elite school, Misaka Mikoto can be perceived as an elegant, graceful, and refined young woman. In truth, she is simply a girl who likes cute things, but will quickly strike down those doing ill to society. Around her friends, she quickly hides this side of herself due to outside expectations. Because of her father's words, Charlotte Dunois came to the academy disguised as a male, and since she is the second-only “male” classmate, many of the girls perceive and treat her as such. Deep down, she wishes to come merely as herself, to be treated like any other girl and not in the charade of a man. To find places where they can be themselves would put their minds at ease. Breaking the common barrier and being their own selves may prove a challenge, but they will take that thorny road with whoever is willing to back them up.




Nagato Yuki (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu) vs. Senjōgahara Hitagi (Bakemonogatari)

"The pain we both share and the happiness that we crave are testaments of our inner selves."
Solitude has often been a situation that people dread enduring. Yet for both Nagato Yuki and Senjōgahara Hitagi, isolation is synonymous with existence. Far detached from the rays of warmth and love, these lovely maidens have endured the pain of being alone. As their inner selves shouted and grimaced, longing to be saved from the cruel fate befalling them, they put on tough fronts. Saddled with her obligation to observe a peculiar phenomenon, Yuki methodically kept her distance from the other club members. Burdened by her atypical condition, Hitagi avoided contact with others in order to keep her secret hidden. Despite the fact that everything seemed lost, a single ray of hope shone towards both Yuki and Hitagi. Finally finding others who actually understood them, Yuki and Hitagi were ushered out of the doom and gloom that had been hovering above their heads. Relieved of the heavy weight on their shoulders, Nagato Yuki and Senjougahara Hitagi now stride forward, embracing their new and warm futures.




Gokō Ruri (Ore no Imōto) vs. Eucliwood Hellscythe (Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?)

"To change who I currently am—that is my wish."
They have been alone for so long that they have become used to it. It is not that they have never made friends; whenever they try, the end results are not promising. Gokō Ruri is shunned by most of her classmates due to her awkwardness and is usually seen performing cleanup duties by herself. Even putting on certain attire for experimentation and gaining attention does not work if no effort in communication is put forth. Will she ever step down from her pride, is the question. Because her words hold so much power and take a turn for the worse, Eucliwood Hellscythe chose to shut herself away from emotional and verbal contact. She keeps herself distant from others and purposefully makes it difficult to strike a conversation. When they finally each find a goal and a place of warmth and comfort, will they be able to step down from their pride, their original desires, and fend off their fates? Mustering enough courage to do so for the sake of others, they walk towards the light of hope in front of them and reach out to grasp it...




Aisaka Taiga (Toradora!) vs. Suzumiya Haruhi (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu)

"I will stand firm in my beliefs, of which you will not be the stumbling block."
“You will not pass.” As these words are uttered by Aisaka Taiga, Suzumiya Haruhi slows her pace to a standstill. Narrowing her eyes at the petite girl in front of her, Haruhi shakes her head frantically, wondering why Lady Luck has never favoured her. Four times already has she been stopped in her tracks by Taiga. Their past encounters have been etched indelibly in her memories, and she knows that she has to improvise if she is to pass through unscathed and continue her search for the peculiarities of the world. As for Taiga, the sight of Haruhi rampaging through is intolerable. While she has managed to halt Haruhi before, Taiga is all too aware of the ramifications if she becomes complacent and charges towards her opponent without thinking. Their previous bouts flash through Taiga’s memories as she decides on her next course of action. Merely replicating what happened in those confrontations might not be the best solution, since her opponent may spring a surprise or two. As Suzumiya Haruhi moves forward, will she finally be able to solve the Palmtop Tiger, or will Aisaka Taiga be her stumbling block once again?




Taneshima Poplar (WORKING!!) vs. Yamada Aoi (WORKING!!)

If you want to go out to eat, I suggest heading to Wagnaria family restaurant—there are two people on the wait staff who you should look forward to. One is a cute, little girl named Taneshima Poplar. She has a bright personality and takes her job seriously. She is also concerned about her height, since people call her a little girl even though she’s a high school student. Despite this, she is friendly and eager to give advice to people. Yamada Aoi is another waitress to look out for. An enigmatic girl, Aoi seems to know much about travel and disguises. She does not help much and is usually seen complaining about the work that needs to be done. However, she does take note of other people's suggestions on what she can do to help them and better herself. If we were to eat there right now, who would you rather have attend to us, Taneshima Poplar, or Yamada Aoi?




Dalian (Dantalian no Shoka) vs. Yune (Ikoku Meiro no Croisée)

Small stature means nothing to these leading ladies, each of whom stands tall in more than one way. Dalian, the Black Biblioprincess of the Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian, may have a weakness to all foods sweet and fluffy, but she houses the knowledge of 900,666 Phantom Books. Coupled with the expertise of her Keykeeper, Englishman Huey, the two form an unstoppable force against the misuse of magic. Not so far away, a young, Japanese girl in Paris brings with her joy in life and all things in it. Through her humble, yet sweet, attitude, she teaches those around her that cultural differences are nothing to be afraid of, but wonders in and of themselves. Few who encounter Yune walk away unchanged, and often leave warmer at heart—a truth to which Frenchman Claude can attest. As our European dance begins and the first steps are placed, which young woman will waltz the night away, Dalian or Yune?




Millhiore Firianno Biscotti (Dog Days) vs. Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois (Dog Days)

Which one is cuter, a puppy or a kitten? It is said that looking into a pair of sloped puppy eyes is enough to douse someone of his or her rage, as dogs are known as man’s best friends. On the other hand, watching cats exhibit their mischievous behaviour can place a smile even on the most apathetic, for cats are often our best playmates. As Millhiore Firianno Biscotti faces up against her closest friend and heated rival, Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois, the fans of Dog Days split into two warring factions. Loved by everyone of the Biscotti Republic, Millhiori is a gentle and hardworking person, fitting the mould of a dog. On the other hand, brave warrior, Leonmitchelli, uses heavy armour in battle to live up to the expectations of her people from the Galette Empire. As these two close friends square up for another friendly confrontation, which one will emerge victorious: puppy, Millhiore Firianno Biscotti, or kitten, Leon Mitchelli Galette des Rois?




Minase Iori (THE iDOLM@STER) vs. Takatsuki Yayoi (THE iDOLM@STER)

Two 765 Production idols from opposite ends of the social spectrum face off in this intra-series exhibition match. Minase Iori is a wealthy girl who is used to getting what she wants. Iori can be quite sharp-tongued to those close to her, yet maintains a cutesy image for strangers and her fans. Despite being rich, she is always alone at home, with only a stuffed bunny for close company. She became an idol to prove to her father and her older brothers that she can be successful in her own way. Takatsuki Yayoi, on the other hand, comes from a poor, working-class family. Due to her upbringing and as the eldest of six children, Yayoi has learned the value of hard work and responsibility at a young age. Nevertheless, destitution has never stopped her from having a strong will and an optimistic outlook on life, and her energetic idol personality is proof of this. As the curtain rises and the spotlight illuminates the stage for tonight’s live, it is now up to the fans to give their loudest cheers for their favorite idols. Who will steal the show, Iori or Yayoi?

Tachibana Kanade (Angel Beats!) vs. Katsura Hinagiku (Hayate no Gotoku!)

"To reach the top, I must defeat you."
As both Tachibana Kanade and Katsura Hinagiku emerge unscathed from their previous ordeal, the paths lying before these maidens converge. Fresh from her overwhelming victory, Kanade trots forward as her race to becoming the new empress gathers pace. Shoving aside all who dare to block her path, she has met little to no resistance thus far. While she has swept aside everything that has been laid down in front of her, Kanade can ill afford to rest on her laurels, for her conquest is still in motion. Standing in front of her is Hinagiku, the deposed queen herself. Hinagiku, still smarting from a near call against her usurper, knows that she needs to show the upstart what it takes to rule on top of the pier. Now is not the time for this dethroned royalty to feel downtrodden due to her rather poor showing against the current Tiara bearer. If Hinagiku still harbours any lingering wish to scale the summit, she must instead muster all her strength against the avalanche that is her current opponent. Will Tachibana Kanade continue her campaign to reign supreme, or will the deposed queen, Katsura Hinagiku, stop her in her tracks instead?




Shana (Shakugan no Shana) vs. Nakano Azusa (K-ON!)

“I made a promise. Please, don't get in my way.”
Tranquility—a word thrown around by some, but for these two contenders, it means something much more precious. Bound by work and practice, these two focused more on completing their jobs than on anything else. When they accidentally found the meaning of that word, something triggered in their hearts. They started to become more open to others, their hearts slowly melting into other people's lives. Before they knew it, they had become the center of everyone's lives. They could laugh and poke fun at each other, cry in joy and sadness, and sing to their hearts’ content. Just when they were about to settle down in their newfound lives, reality stabbed them in the back. A fork formed separating the line between duty and heart. No matter which road they choose, they are bound to hurt themselves in one way or another. Is it too much to ask to be with their friends forever? If there were a middle road, they would take it by any means necessary. One push is all they need to solidify that one choice. Which path will Shana and Nakano Azusa take?




Sengoku Nadeko (Bakemonogatari) vs. Akiyama Mio (K-ON!)

“If I fall, I'll just stand up again.”
Give Sengoku Nadeko some credit. Making it to the Top 16 once is no walk in the park; making it in twice is very impressive. She has much to be proud of. She may have lost her previous match by a large amount, but that will not bring her carefree and innocent personality down just yet. There is still much to focus on, including her next match against former Tiara bearer, Akiyama Mio. The bassist still proves to be a force to be reckoned with, with a 22-vote margin against her previous opponent. Even with this loss, Mio knows that it is time to move on when things seem to go downhill. Winning the Tiara and the KBM title at the same time last year is nothing to make light of, and she should be glad of her accomplishments. They may be out of contention for the Tiara, but the journey is far from over. Here, they will prove that their places in the Top 16 are no flukes. Can Nadeko pull off a major victory, or does Mio still have it in her to take her down with full force?




Yui (Angel Beats!) vs. Nakamura Yuri (Angel Beats!)

"Everybody suffers setbacks, but it is how we react to those unfortunate turn of events that defines who we are."
After losing their main tournament matches against Nakano Azusa and Shana, respectively, both Yui and Nakamura Yuri now face off against each other in the consolation match. While these girls went out without a whimper against their conquerors, they now must muster any strength left in this intra-series match up if they want to end up as high as they can in the final placing. Their Regular Season statistics read almost identical, with Yui ending as the 12th seed and Yuri hot on her coattails. As both girls amass around 188,000 votes each, they are truly inseparable in terms of their strength. In their previous meeting in the Amethyst Period, Yui emerged triumphant, albeit by a 3-vote difference. So, it is not beyond the realm of possibility for emerald-eyed Yuri to turn the tables on the pink-haired Yui. As Yui readies her guitar to bedazzle the audience, Yuri loads her Beretta pistol to carve open her future. Will Yui replicate her performance against Nakamura Yuri, or will their second bout bring in a reversal of results?




Kasuga Kusunoki (Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai) vs. Nagase Jun (Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai)

A woman’s heart can be mysterious. While many girls would prefer to be viewed as cute and charming, there are certain sects of women who choose to be different. Kasuga Kunosuki was burdened as the heir apparent to her family dojo. While she tried to put up a tough front, acting masculine and dependable, deep inside was a feminine persona that she tried vainly to suppress. This inner struggle created a crevasse in her heart large enough for a runaway spirit to enter. Nagase Jun, beaming with beauty and a friendly nature, was a person who tried too hard to push her ideals onto others. While her intentions were good, people around her felt overly pressured and started to alienate her. This led to her despair, which allowed another runaway spirit to lay dormant inside her. With the help of the ‘God of Conquest’, both maidens managed to overcome their struggles for identity and self-belief, thus eliminating the runaway spirits residing inside them. Although their memories have been wiped clean after these events, they now can look forward to brighter futures awaiting them.




Oshimizu Nako (Hanasaku Iroha) vs. Tsurugi Minko (Hanasaku Iroha)

For two friends who have worked together and known each other for so long, this match is bittersweet. Oshimizu Nako is a quiet and caring girl who takes care of her little brothers, sisters, and parents. Nako has a hard time socializing with others; thus, she has trouble with forming relationships outside of work. Ironically, her kind words, serene manner, and beautiful physique have many men falling for her. Tsurugi Minko has a rather serious personality, focusing on her work and school more than on hanging out with friends. While she does think about what is best for those around her, she has a hard time putting those thoughts into the correct words. Still, her stubbornness may be beneficial for her, as she will do whatever it takes to reach her goal to become a high-class chef. This is nothing personal, just business. They may be the best companions, but only one can walk away as the victor. Who will it be?




Yarizui Sen (Ben-To) vs. Yuzuriha Inori (Guilty Crown)

Things are rarely what they seem to be. A beautiful yet aloof high school student with silvery hair. A popular internet idol singer with a captivating voice. At first glance, this is how Yarizui Sen and Yuzuriha Inori appear. Upon closer inspection, however, one will find something different. As the president of the Half-Priced Food Lovers Club, Yarizui Sen battles every night at the local supermarkets over half-priced bentō. Her cool demeanor and fighting prowess have earned her the title, "The Ice Witch". As a member of the Funeral Parlor resistance group, Yuzuriha Inori routinely participates in covert missions against an oppressive regime. Possessing a quiet demeanor, she uses her cover as the lead vocalist of the popular musical group Egoist to express her feelings. In a battle for bentō and freedom, who will prevail—the Ice Witch Yarizui Sen, or Egoist singer Yuzuriha Inori?

Nagato Yuki (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu) vs. Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko) (Ore no Imōto)

“Can you melt away my locked heart, my sealed desire?”
On a clear, dark night with the moonlight shining across the school rooftop—that is where you will most likely find these two. Like a vine, they are the main supporters, slowing shaping those around them and changing their lives. Rarely do people notice these steady changes, nor do they understand them or their feelings. At group outings, they are usually quiet and survey whatever goes on around them. At the same time, these two do not know that they each have become the center of attention. People go to them for advice, and they are usually the first others ask for help from in emergency situations. There are times when people do not wish to let them go, making sure that they have as much fun as everyone else. Yet after all of the meetings and encounters that they have had, they still stand on the rooftop, alone, with no one beside them. For Nagato Yuki and Gokō Ruri, will there be anyone willing to place a hand on their shoulders or a coat over their bodies?




Misaka Mikoto (Toaru Majutsu no Index) vs. Aisaka Taiga (Toradora!)

"First impressions can be misleading; I am not just your typical pretty girl."
At first glance, both Misaka Mikoto and Aisaka Taiga seem like two, strong-willed girls, with nothing able to cripple their hearts. Both caramel-haired maidens give off domineering presences beyond their pretty appearances. Blessed with pretty, hazelnut-coloured eyes, Mikoto and Taiga are able to bewitch any guy who lays eyes on these them. But underneath their radiant, albeit intimidating, personas are two girls who struggle to overcome the gripping nightmares shrouding them. Firmly entrenched within their tiny chests are the pains and sufferings they carry. Mikoto shivers in fear, knowing that she is the trigger for a massacre happening beyond the shadows in Academy City. As a kid, she was not well versed with the adult world, and because of that, she is still haunted by the mistake she made. Taiga, on the other hand, witnessed the family she cherished crumble as her parents parted ways. As a result, she lives alone in an exclusive apartment, away from her new family. The level of her pain was so great that she went the full length of disowning her own family member. Which tragic tale will sway more hearts, Misaka Mikoto’s plight, or Aisaka Taiga’s torment?




Senjōgahara Hitagi (Bakemonogatari) vs. Eucliwood Hellscythe (Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?)

"When push comes to shove, we can fight for ourselves."
As the leaves withered, the chilly autumn breeze swept across my cheek. Concealing myself, my gaze fixed upon a pair of lovely maidens, staring each other down. Though both looked battered, their inner charms still radiated brightly under the lucid crescent moon. Their long and beautiful hair swayed, as if dancing to the tune of the wind. On closer examination, the amethyst-haired wonder seemed to hold scissors and a stapler in her hands. Her tall, model-like figure could easily flutter the hearts of the most valiant knights. From the notepad scribbles of the girl standing in front of her, I learn her name—Senjōgahara Hitagi. While she throws a barrage of harsh words, her opponent stands there, quietly. From what I can gather, the silver-haired girl is known as Eucliwood Hellscythe. She has a quiet demeanor, and her petite body and cute face can melt the resolve of even the most strong-willed. Suddenly, the pen she used to scribe on her notepad changed into a scythe. As I watched the duel unfold, I wondered which beauty would reign victorious—the pretty Hitagi, or the cute Eucliwood?




Suzumiya Haruhi (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu) vs. Charlotte Dunois (IS <Infinite Stratos>)

“A true leader always has a few tricks up her sleeves.”
Their main fights may be over, but the night is still young for thrills and excitement. As Suzumiya Haruhi and Charlotte Dunois steadily approach each other, they understand that this fight will not be as easy as they once perceived. The phrase "to falter" does not appear in Haruhi's vocabulary. In any given match, her game plan is to charge at her adversaries and expect victory to follow. Hot-blooded and energetic, Haruhi is willing to do whatever it takes to have things done her way. Charlotte walks in as the underdog of this match, but that may be her greatest weapon. Time and time again, she has been able to overcome opponents stronger than her by a close margin. To those who said that she could not do it, Charlotte has repeatedly proven them wrong. Behind this cool and composed French maiden lies an intellectual girl ready to strike at the prime moment. Can Haruhi defeat her adversary once again, or will Charlotte be able to take her down?




Fear Kubrick (C&sup3;) vs. Sena Airi (Mashiroiro Symphony)

A kind and understanding soul was all that they each needed to open up to others. Fear Kubrick was always used as a killing machine for her masters. Not once did any of them consider her feelings, only using her to butcher others. When Fear arrived at her new home, she felt more at ease than ever before because the people around her were nice and respected her for who she was. There are times when she goes out of control, but her friends are there to keep her sane. Sena Airi was not a fan of sudden changes. When she found out late that her school was turning co-ed, she quickly took a stand to keep the school all girls. After coming into contact with some members of the other school, she fond out that they were not as bad as she once thought. After a few days, she came to accept their presence. Even if Fear and Airi have many caring people around them, there is always room for more. With whom will our voters take a stand?




Kosaka Chihiro (Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai) vs. Takahara Ayumi (Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai)

“Let’s make a band!” Those were the words uttered by Kosaka Chihiro as she tried to remodel herself into someone extraordinary. Swiftly accepting the proposal, her best friend, Takahara Ayumi, later helped her form the 2B Pencil Band. While Chihiro plays the lead guitarist role, Ayumi covers as the rhythm guitarist. Even outside of school time, they spend a lot of time together. But while they are good friends, their personalities slightly differ. Chihiro’s penchant for confessing to a multitude of cool and attractive guys, without really being enamoured by them, was the effect of the gaps within her heart. On the other hand, the chasm in Ayumi’s heart not only made her reluctant to enter the athletic competition, but also caused her to fabricate an injury. Runaway spirits invaded these weaknesses in their hearts, and it took the God of Conquest’s vast knowledge to fill up those cracks, expelling them. Chihiro and Ayumi can now focus on the things they enjoy, such as their beloved band…but will that be enough?




Anjō Naruko (Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai.) vs. Chiriko Tsurumi (Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai.)

They loved her; their days revolved around her. When she disappeared from their lives, everything fell apart, and this is what they have become. One began to pretty herself up; the second attempted to become a split image of the other. Both tried to take advantage of her loss and shared their lives with the other members of the group. They went to school with their love interests and made sure to make them a part of their lives. Even then, the others still thought about her even though she was gone. Whether it be struggling to get him to go to school properly, or exposing his tendency to dress up like her, it was not enough to get her off of their minds. They reflected on what they had done all this time and submerged themselves in guilt. It was not supposed to be like this. How could they have sunk so low after the loss of their dearest friend? If only they were able to see her one last time and ask her for forgiveness, maybe then would their hearts be content and spirits be raised. Will either Anjō Naruko or Chiriko Tsurumi be saved from their plight?

半決賽 第一場賽事

Tachibana Kanade (Angel Beats!) vs. Shana (Shakugan no Shana)

"I have the courage to spread my wings and fly high. Do you?"
Without the slightest hint of letting up, Tachibana Kanade continues steamrolling her way towards the 2011 Heavenly Tiara, with two impressive wins under her belt thus far in the Postseason. Seeing as she managed to amass over 60% of the votes for both those wins, it's easy to say that Kanade is unstoppable. But today, things look to get interesting as this year's Ruby Necklace winner, Shana, backed by the currently airing third season of Shakugan no Shana, looks to exact her revenge on Tenshi. In their first meeting back in Amethyst 7, Kanade easily defeated Shana with a 4302-3234 victory. However, with the strength gap between the two coming closer together—the angel weakens as the Flame Haze strengthens—this rematch can undoubtedly go either way. It is evident that both of these girls desire to grab a hold of the elusive Tiara, and both know they must get past each other in order to move one step closer to obtaining it. When the flames of this battle subside, which warrior will remain standing—the seemingly immortal Kanade, or Shana the Flaming-Haired, Blazing-Eyed Hunter?




Akiyama Mio (K-ON!) vs. Aisaka Taiga (Toradora!)

"They say three is a magic number. Today, it's my number."
On July 18th, 2010, the whole world was shocked as Akiyama Mio, previously undefeated that year, fell prey to the Palmtop Tiger, Aisaka Taiga, by twenty-three votes. The bassist Mio made one small, fatal error and lost her fire, costing her the victory and the Ruby Necklace that day. Despite managing to obtain both the ISML tiara and KBM title that year, Mio vowed to take down the 2009 AST and KBM champion in an ISML arena by any means possible. On August 11, 2011, the two were to meet again at an overgrown forest. Mio kept her ground and tried to focus on obtaining a victory, but Taiga, once again, managed to trample over her—this time, by a mere two votes. While the numbers were closer, Taiga still proved to be a dominant and dangerous force to be reckoned with. Here, the two will square off in what should be the peak of their rivalry. As the two prepare to collide once again, can Mio finally obtain a victory on her third try from her nemesis, or will Taiga knock her down just like previously?




Yui (Angel Beats!) vs. Nagato Yuki (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu)

"If you see the world from my eyes, maybe you can understand where I am coming from."
While one is hyperactive and boastful, and the other is more quiet and reserved, they both have deep secrets hidden and locked from society. Previously, Yui did not have the time or the power to move freely to her liking. She always had to be taken care of by her mother, who treasured her dearly. When she arrived to a new world, she wished to do as many things as possible, because she was unable to do anything by herself in the past. Nagato Yuki may appear emotionless, but even she can experience certain feelings around the correct people. Unable to discern this "bug" in her system, she changed the world around her against her will. To be able to feel and understand what it was like to behave like a normal person was all she ever wanted. At first glance, you might not have expected them to have those types of burdens in their hearts. They move on with their daily lives, hiding these secrets from their friends until the time is right to say them. Will Yui ever leave behind her sorrow, or will Yuki feel emotions one more time?




Katsura Hinagiku (Hayate no Gotoku!) vs. Suzumiya Haruhi (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu)

"Although we are both leaders, the ways we treat our subordinates differ."
Katsura Hinagiku and Suzumiya Haruhi are two different types of leaders. Despite both being first-year high school students, they were elected as the leaders of their organisations. Through calmness and wisdom, Hinagiku reigns over the student council of Hakuō Academy. Her leadership is said to be near perfect, overseeing her subordinates’ tasks and jumping into the fray to rectify any mishaps her subordinates make. Such is her diligence; other student council members tend to exploit this fact, knowing their president will in the end fix the mess for them. On the other hand, Haruhi’s high energy and single mindedness drove her to creating the SOS brigade, with her as the leader of the new club. Often acting on her whims, she could care less about what the other brigade members think. Decisions are made not by diplomatic voting, but by her ‘executive power’ as the club’s president. This results in her underlings following her lead, lest they get an earful from the boisterous leader or some other dire ramifications surface. Which frontrunner will come on top in this battle of the leaders—the calm Katsura Hinagiku, or the eccentric Suzumiya Haruhi?




Nakano Azusa (K-ON!) vs. Eucliwood Hellscythe (Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?)

"There is something we both wish to have. We call these 'dreams.'"
Knowing that her seniors will graduate eventually and her friends will be in danger if they stay with her for very long, it is of no surprise that Nakano Azusa and Eucliwood Hellscythe fear loneliness. Azusa took for granted the fun and happy moments that she shared with her band mates. From school trips to performing in an auditorium, they only made her wish more that she could stay with them forever. Still, it is time to move on. She cannot afford to be selfish and must wave goodbye with a smile and some tears. Eucliwood knows that she is a dangerous being. Having magical powers so strong that words have meaning, she puts on armor to restrain her power. Even then, there are people out there who wish for her death or want her for her abilities. All she ever wanted was a place to relax and call home, to relieve her from any and all the stress built up in her body. Even if Azusa and Eucliwood begin to feel down, they should note that there are those who are willing to give a helping hand to them. Which will the voters reach their hand out to?




Nakamura Yuri (Angel Beats!) vs. Sengoku Nadeko (Bakemonogatari)

"All I ever wanted was to be with them, no matter how long or short it was."
Both of our contenders had harsh lives to deal with. Nakamura Yuri only wished to live a peaceful life with her little brothers and sisters, but even that was taken away from her. When the burglars came and ruined her life, she thought of herself as useless, unable to protect anyone dear to her. At the SSS brigade, Yuri takes careful caution with monitoring those who look up to her. She does not wish to let her current friends down, but the pain she had suffered back then still stabs at her heart. Sengoku Nadeko is a shy girl who tries not to get into too much contact with other people. After rejecting a confession from someone in her class, she was cursed with slow strangulation by snakes. Even during her body’s cleansing, she almost died from a miscalculation until her friends saved her. Yui and Nadeko are willing to do their best to help their friends, for it is them that made these two who they are now. Can Yuri snipe her opponent, or will Nadeko pass on the snake curse?




Charlotte Dunois (IS <Infinite Stratos>) vs. Senjōgahara Hitagi (Bakemonogatari)

"If people start to question me, I will show them that I deserve to be here."
After suffering back-to-back losses in the Postseason, both Charlotte Dunois and Senjōgahara Hitagi know that another loss means that they can only fight for 15th place. While they were both predicted to lose in their previous matches, the manners in which they lost said match have left a lot to be desired for. Not being able to collect even 40% of the votes against two fellow contestants in their main Single Elimination matches has made people question their eligibility to enter the Postseason. This has only been exacerbated by their second losses, in the first consolation round against fellow defeated contestants. While the margin of their losses in their respective consolation matches were more dignified, with Charlotte only losing by 699 votes and Senjōgahara by 873, it still means that another loss for any one of the maidens will condemn them to the dreaded 15th place match. Though Senjōgahara beat Charlotte during the Ruby Period, the margin was small enough for Charlotte to overcome in the ensuing match between them. Which girl will now emerge victorious after the dust settles?




Elucia de Lute Irma (Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai) vs. Haqua du Lot Herminium (Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai)

While they call themselves demons, to the naked eyes of many, they are just your ordinary, cute maidens. Elucia de lute Irma and Haqua du lot Herminium are a pair of shinigami sent by ‘New Hell’ to capture the evil spirits let loose in the human world. They are very close friends, and Elucia has always admired Haqua for her past performances. Neither of them comes from an old or powerful family in the netherworld, but while Elucia was busy cleaning New Hell, her friend was heralded as one of its geniuses and bestowed with a very special death scythe. Elucia’s chance meeting with Haqua in the human world is the result of a blunder made by Haqua, which she tried to cover up. Haqua has always been a step above Elucia, and in helping her proud friend rectify her mishap, Elucia finally feels that she deserves her Shinigami status. As these two death reapers square off against each other, will Elucia de lute Irma’s magic broom brush aside her best friend, or will Haqua du lot Herminium’s epic scythe repel Elucia instead?
