Characters are to be considered with the abilities they displayed in the manga. Additional information from official sources like the data books or Pair Puris may be taken into account.

Apologies for the delay.

The match between Tanegashima/Sanada and Irie/Niou is over with the 1st String's No. 2 and the Emperor narrowly winning with 3 votes to 2. In order to avoid the effects of Sardine Water Deluxe, Niou turned into Fuji --- however, the Illusion had no effect. In the meantime, Irie is screaming in agony...! ...Just kidding!?

Over the next two days, we will determine the semifinal opponents of Nakagauchi and Tooyama. Will it be Ochi and Oishi, or Kimijima and Mizuki? Discuss and vote here.

The outcome of Block B's match is decided and Kimijima and Mizuki fall prey to Sardine Water Deluxe after a 3 - 4 defeat. The last round 1 match is now up, the thread is located here. Which one of Ohmagari/Inui and Tokugawa/Kadowaki will move on to the next round?

I'm surprised Kimijima didn't find a way to escape from the Sardine Water Deluxe. I guess sardines>negotiations?

The last match of the first round has ended with Tokugawa (and Kadowaki) emerging victorious. After being unable to reach any of Tokugawa's shots during the first half of the battle, Inui attempted to flee and avoid punishment --- while being chased by Ohmagari, he ran into the grill of a camping family; I will refrain from going into detail. Ohmagari managed to withstand Sardine Water Deluxe... makes you wonder what kind of energy drinks Tsuuge prepares...

Next up is the first semifinal between Nakagauchi/Tooyama and Ochi/Oishi. The match thread can be found here.

As you turn your attention to the battle that's about to start, the shady figure of Kimijima Ikuto is leaving the scene. As you will later find out, the corpse on the ground is actually a stunt double Kimijima hired in advance.

Sorry for the delay again.

The second semifinal match has come to an end - it was a close battle, but in the end Tokugawa and Kadowaki emerged victorious. They will now meet Ochi/Oishi in the finals, the new thread can be found here. After drinking Sardine Water Deluxe, Sanada is still standing, although he may or may not have lost consciousness. Tanegashima... drank regular water and walked off?!

The final round has ended with two votes to one.

The winners are Tokugawa and Kadowaki.​
