Nishikino Maki (Love Live!) vs. Kirisaki Chitoge (Nisekoi)
西木野真姬(Love Live!) vs. 桐崎千棘(伪恋)

>> Show/Hide match previews <<

Arigato (Song)
By: Nishikino Maki and Kirisaki Chitoge

Life is like a bowl of candy, sometimes sweet but sometimes sour and at times it can be bitter
But meeting you was like a heaven's worth of sweet, sweet candy
In that room where we first met, it was a start of a beautiful friendship
As we got along closer through those wonderful moments
I felt truly happy, for I enjoyed every single portion of that time we spent together

And so I want to thank you, so very, very much, for what you have done for me
And as our time spent together becomes closer and closer, I hope we can get to know each other more
Through all the obstacles and struggles that I might face, I know that I can count on you to guide me through it all
Sincerely, Arigato, for everything...

Onodera Kosaki (Nisekoi) vs. Tachibana Marika (Nisekoi)
小野寺小咲(伪恋) vs. 橘万里花(伪恋)

"Good friends in life, but rivals in love."
Every school day, during every break, Marika needs to show her love to her beloved. Jumping on him, offering him gifts, or shooting him loving glances constantly, it seems she has no limits and that her momentum can only be stopped by his fake girlfriend. Kosaki might just be a bit jealous of her and this ability to communicate her feelings so easily. Fortunately, Marika doesn't know that they share the same love, which allows them to have a normal relationship between friends. Kosaki could never be angry with her about this though: she plays the game of love differently, watching from a distance and enjoying every moment she can spend with the one she loves.
Although their common lover hasn’t made his choice yet, it's now time to make your own!

[[ Show/Hide additional languages ]]

每个上课日，每个课间，万里花都要向她所爱的人展现她的爱慕之情。扑向他，给他小礼物，或者时常给他送秋波，看起来她根本没有限度，而她的气焰也仿佛只有他的伪女友可以熄灭。小咲可能刚好有点嫉妒万里花，嫉妒她能如此轻松地表达心意。幸运的是，万里花并不知道她们所爱的是同一个人，这让她们还保持着正常的朋友关系。对于万里花所做的一切，小咲可能永远都不会生气，因为：小咲在以一个很不同的玩法进行着爱的游戏，仅仅是远远的注视着她所爱之人或者能够陪在他身边度过每一分每一秒就足够让她欣喜。
尽管她们共同的恋慕对象还没有做出他的选择，但现在，是时候做出你们的选择了！

Setiap hari, ketika waktu istirahat, Marika merasa perlu menunjukkan cintanya pada seseorang yang dikasihinya. Melompat ke arahnya, memberinya hadiah, atau menatap mesra kepadanya setiap waktu, dan ini tampaknya tidak pernah ada batasnya dan momentumnya tidak bisa dihentikan oleh kekasih palsu sang lelaki. Kosaki bisa jadi sedikit cemburu akan Marika dan kemampuannya untuk menunjukkan perasaannya dengan mudah. Sayangnya, Marika tidak tahu bahwa mereka berbagi cinta yang sama, yang di mana membiarkan mereka untuk berteman dengan normal. Lagipula Kosaki tidak bisa marah akan hal ini: dia memainkan permainan cinta ini dengan cara yang berbeda, memandangi dari kejauhan dan menikmati benar-benar setiap momen dengan sang kekasih.
Meskipun kekasih mereka belum bisa menentukan pilihan, sekarang adalah saatnya bagi kalian!

Chaque jour d'école, à chaque pause, Marika ressent le besoin de montrer ses sentiments à son amour. Lui sauter dessus, le couvrir de cadeaux ou simplement lui envoyer constamment des regards amoureux, Marika n'a pas de limite et n'est stoppée dans son élan que par la fausse petite amie de celui qu'elle aime. Kosaki pourrait bien être un peu jalouse d'elle et de sa capacité à transmettre si facilement ses sentiments. Heureusement, Marika ne sait pas qu'elles partagent un amour envers la même personne, ce qui leur permet d'avoir une relation classique entre amies. Kosaki ne pourrait jamais lui en vouloir toutefois : elle joue au jeu de l'amour à sa façon, observant de loin et profitant à fond de chaque moment passé avec l'homme de ses rêves.
Bien que leur amoureux commun n'ait toujours pas fait son choix, c'est maintenant à vous de faire le vôtre!

"Buenas amigas en la vida pero rivales en el amor."
En cada día escolar, durante cada descanso, Marika necesita mostrarle su afecto a su amado. Tirándosele encima, dándole regalos, o dedicándole miradas románticas constantemente, pareciera que no tiene límites y que su ímpetu sólo puede ser frenado por la novia falsa de él. Quizá Kosaki esté un poquito celosa de ella y de su habilidad para expresar sus sentimientos tan fácilmente. Afortunadamente, Marika no sabe que ambas tienen el mismo objetivo romántico, lo que les permite tener una relación normal de amistad. Por su parte, Kosaki nunca podría enfadarse por ello: Ella juega al juego del amor de forma diferente, mirando desde la distancia y disfrutando de cada momento que pasa con la persona que ama. Aunque su amado en común no haya tomado todavía su decisión, ¡ahora es el momento de que tú tomes la tuya!

Yukinoshita Yukino (OreGairu) vs.
Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko (Hentai Ōji to Warawanai Neko.)

“Can you read my poker face?”
Silence my not say much, but can reveal a plethora of information. A gaze from Yukinoshita Yukino may be enough to silence any opposition and make people think twice about going against her ideas. But beyond Yukino's cynical personality lies a girl searching for someone to connect with and lean on whenever she needs a helping hand. Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko may have lost her ability to express her emotions, but that does not stop her from expressing her opinion on certain matters. Hidden in her voice is a wish to become stronger, to turn this supposed handicap to her advantage. Which of these two contenders will have the final say after all is said and done?

Jibril (No Game No Life) vs. Tokisaki Kurumi (Date A Live)

“Time is ticking away. Make your next move.”br/>What could be going in the minds of these two competitors as they attempt to get one step closer towards the Sapphire Circlet? The pressure may be on Jibril, as this is her ISML debut, but she is always ready for a challenge. Any opportunity to learn about her opponents and analyze possible ways to defeat them brings a grin to her face. However, Tokisaki Kurumi will not show any fear, she will not show any mercy, and she will not restrain herself from decimating her enemy. If push comes to shove, Kurumi will use any tactic necessary if it means seeing her goals bear fruit. With the stakes this high, can Jibril conjure up an idea to turn the tide to her favor, or will Kurumi make sure that time is on her side?

Shiro (No Game No Life) vs. Asada Shino (Sword Art Online)

“It's time to play the game.”
An invitation sent out to only the strongest of players. A competition to see who is the better player. Things like this would only entice challengers such as Shiro and Asada Shino. Able to calculate multiple scenarios at once, there appears to be no task too difficult for someone of Shiro's stature. As nimble with her fingers as her mind, Shiro has no trouble controlling two avatars at once if it means obtaining the highest chance of success with as little to no consequence. An opportunity like this may be what Asada Shino always wanted. Meek in real life, when Shino dwells in the virtual world, she becomes more confident, her will is unwavering, and her aim straightforward. Which of these players will keep her focus until this match is over?

Yūki Asuna (Sword Art Online) vs. Yui-nyan (Angel Beats!)
结城明日奈（亚丝娜）(刀剑神域) vs. 由依(Angel Beats!)

At first glance, these two young women would seem to be very different, but both of them lived injured lives until they came to their own virtual worlds. Yui became the lead singer and head of a band, while Asuna became a commander in one of the most powerful guilds of her world. Although both were in powerful positions, they still felt unfulfilled. The demon-cat tried many other activities, none of which filled the hole in her heart until she found love. 'The Flash' went through a similar situation: her nickname and accolades weren't enough for her either, but love was simple and powerful enough to fill her life. Neither of their partners cared about their titles. In this battle, these two fight each other for the favor of the ISML voters. Will you support Asuna and her rapier, or Yui-nyan and her guitar and voice?

[[ Show/Hide additional languages ]]

第一眼看上去，这两位年轻女孩可能有着天壤之别，但她们在进入死后世界和游戏世界之前的生活的伤痕累累却又让二人同病相怜。由依成为了乐队的主场和领队，而亚丝娜成为了她世界中一个最强大公会的副团长。尽管她们均身居要职，却并没有为此而满足。‘由依喵’尝试过不少体育活动，但直到她找到了爱，她内心的空缺才得以填补。‘闪光之亚丝娜’也遭遇了相同的境况，称号与荣誉对她来说远远不够，但爱却轻易地、饱满地弥漫于她的生命。二人的同伴们也都对她们的头衔毫不在意，可是在如今这场比赛中，两人正为了世萌众的支持而战。你会支持亚丝娜和她的细剑，还是由依和她的吉他与声音？

Sekilas, kedua gadis ini tampak sangat berbeda satu sama lain. Namun, mereka sebelumnya telah hidup dalam keseharian mereka masing-masing yang dipenuhi dengan kecacatan dan kekangan sampai akhirnya keduanya tiba di dunia "virtual" masing-masing. Yui menjadi vokalis utama dan pemimpin band-nya, sementara Asuna menjadi salah satu komandan dari guild terkuat di dunianya. Namun, walaupun keduanya telah berada di posisi yang kuat, mereka masih belum merasa terpenuhi. Si kucing-rocker, Yui, mencoba melakukan berbagai aktivitas; Tak satupun dapat memenuhi kekosongan di dalam jiwanya, hingga akhirnya ia menemukan cinta. "Si Kilat", Asuna, juga mengalami situasi yang serupa: semua julukan dan pujian dari rekan-rekannya tidaklah cukup baginya. Namun kemudian ia menemukan cinta dan itu cukup sederhana namun kuat untuk membuatnya merasa terpenuhi. Keduanya mencintai kekasih masing-masing dengan tulus dan apa-adanya dan kekasih merekapun tidak menuntut apa-apa dari mereka, tanpa memandang status dan gelar masing-masing. Kali ini, mereka berdua akan bertempur satu sama lain demi dukungan dari para pemilih ISML. Apakah anda akan mendukung Asuna dan pedang rapier-nya, atau Yui-nyan dengan gitar dan suara merdunya?

Tōsaka Rin (Fate Series) vs. Eucliwood Hellscythe (Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?)
远坂凛(Fate系列) vs. 优克莉伍德·海尔赛兹(这个是僵尸吗？)

Welcome to the Postseason, guys. We have an important match today between two magic users: Tōsaka Rin, the young magician, and Eucliwood Hellscythe, the Necromancer.

Tōsaka Rin awoke from her deep sleep in 2014 and is back to ISML. With her great moves in the Prelims and continuation in the Regular Season, Rin was able to answer all challenges by getting the top position of Stella with 30-5. Even though lots of her efforts failed in necklace matches, Rin still has a chance in two remaining jewels, the Circlet and, of course, the Tiara.
Her rival is the silent Necromancer, Eucliwood. Her last necklace was in 2012 and since then it has been a hard road for Eucliwood, even just to reach the necklace matches. This year, Eucliwood finished 11th with 25-10, which is not good news for her career history in ISML. She really needs new motivation in this year’s Postseason.

Will the returned Rin rise with a new power in 2015, or will Eucliwood fight for her existence as a strong candidate of the Tiara?
The answer is yours.

大家好，欢迎来到季后赛！今天我们有一场重要的比赛，一场两位魔法使用者之间的比赛，她们分别是：年轻的魔法师远坂凛以及死灵法师优克莉伍德·海尔赛兹。
远坂凛，从她2014年的沉睡中醒来，重回世萌战场。随着她预选赛时的巨大进步以及常规赛期的优异表现，凛以30-5的成绩夺得常规赛恒星头名，如今她已足够应对任何挑战。尽管在之前项链赛中她的努力都付诸东流，但她仍有机会冲击剩下的两件首饰：头环，当然还有皇冠。
凛的对手是沉默的死灵法师，优克里伍德。她上个项链夺于2012年，但那之后仅仅是进入项链赛对她来说都成了非常困难的事。今年，优克里伍德以25-10的成绩最终排名常规赛第11位，事实上这在她职业生涯中并不是个好结果。今年的季后赛她确实需要新的动力了，而一场胜利便是很好的激励。
谁将会继续走下去？带着新活力回归的凛，还是为自己的作为2015皇冠强力候选者的存在而战斗着的优克里伍德？
答案就掌握在你们手中！

Selamat datang di Post Season, kawan. Kita punya sebuah pertandingan penting hari ini, pertandingan antara dua pengguna kekuatan sihir: Tōsaka Rin sang penyihir muda dan Eucliwood Hellscythe sang Necromancer. Mari kita ulas peforma mereka selama setahun ini.

Tōsaka Rin, yang bangun dari tidurnya di 2014 telah kembali ke ISML. Dengan aksi luar biasanya di Pre-eliminasi dan terus berlanjut di Musim Reguler, Rin mampu menjawab segala tantangan dengan meraih posisi teratas di Stella dengan 30-5. Meski usahanya tahun ini banyak kandas di babak kalung, Rin masih punya kesempatan di 2 perhiasan tersisa, penghias kepala dan tentu saja Sang Tiara.
Lawannya adalah sang Necromancer yang pendiam, Eucliwood. Kalung terakhirnya ada di 2012 dan semenjak itu Eucliwood menjadi sangat sulit bahkan hanya untuk mendekati pertandingan kalung. Tahun ini Eucliwood finis ke-11 dengan 25-10 dan itu bukan berita baik bagi sejarah perjalan Eucliwood di ISML. Dia butuh dorongan baru di Post Season tahun ini.

Kembalinya Rin dengan kekuatan barunya di 2015, ataukah Eucliwood yang akan memperjuangkan eksistensinya sebagai kandidat kuat Tiara 2015?
Semuanya kembali kepada kalian.

Shiina Mashiro (Sakura-sō no Pet na Kanojo) vs. Nakamura Yuri (Angel Beats!)
椎名真白(樱花庄的宠物女孩) vs. 仲村由理(Angel Beats!)

“Never going for less than second best.”
Goals, dreams, aspirations. Some are granted through hard work, but others may need that extra fight to achieve the necessary resolution. An acclaimed artist, Shiina Mashiro seems to have everything going for her, but the world around her has always appeared barren and white. While achievement in art is success in its own way, Mashiro would like it if there were others with whom she could share this feeling. Nakamura Yuri has no trouble explaining what she wants done and how she wants to do it. Headstrong and gallant, Yuri does not give up until her sight is set on her target. With two contrasting personalities and two contrasting worlds, can Mashiro paint her way to the finish, or will Yuri gun her down on the spot?

Makise Kurisu (Steins;Gate) vs. Aisaka Taiga (Toradora!)
牧濑红莉栖(命运石之门) vs. 逢坂大河(TIGER×DRAGON！龙与虎)

“Are you sure you should be here?”
Hovering in the middle tier for so long after all the twists and turns, Makise Kurisu finally finds herself in contention for not just the Diamond Pendant, but quite possibly the Heavenly Tiara. The genius scientist hit all the right marks necessary to grant her this position, and it does not seem like her momentum is about to halt anytime soon. Having participated in ISML for so long, Aisaka Taiga still has a bit left in her to show that she has what it takes to keep up with any upcoming contenders. No matter how much time tries to take her down, Taiga has successfully and continuously clawed her way to postseasons since her debut. Now, these two girls who have different stories to tell will collide, and one small mistake will cost them something they may not get back come next year. Does Kurisu have what it takes to become someone others should look out for, or does Taiga have enough left in her to show that she can still pull the impossible?

Chitanda Eru (Hyōka) vs. Takanashi Rikka (Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shitai!)
千反田爱瑠(冰菓) vs. 小鸟游六花(中二病也想谈恋爱)

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat, but these two girls may be huge exceptions to that phrase as their curiosity shows no bounds whatsoever as they try to figure out how particular things work. For Eru, mysteries of all sorts immediately pique her interest as her eyes brighten with passion. She is determined to solve the case with her friends who reluctantly assist her in their mystery-solving stints. No matter how big or small it may be, nothing escapes the girl who might just be the embodiment of curiosity itself. In Rikka's case, her big questions are about love. Being foreign to that sort of feeling has left Rikka rather flustered as she explores this new emotion she has to deal with which just comes out of nowhere. Although unexpected for Rikka, there's no doubt that she wants to venture further into this whole new world of love that she is currently in. With all that being said, who will have her curiosity sated between the two of them?

[[ Show/Hide additional languages ]]

俗话说的好，好奇心害死喵，但这两个女孩确实超级的例外，因为她们想要探索某些东西、某些事如何运作时实在是展现了无穷无尽的超越俗话的好奇心。爱瑠，这个各种谜题都会让她双眼放光地产生兴趣的女孩，她正决心解决在他们的推理解谜上不情愿帮她的她朋友的问题。无论大事小情，都逃不过这个女孩的好奇，没准她就是好奇心的化身呢。而六花，她的大大的问号是关于爱情的。当她不得不面对有时不知从哪儿突然冒出来的这种感情时，对于它的完全陌生让她很是慌张。尽管很突然，但无疑六花还是想要在她已经置身其中的爱情这个新世界中去更深处探险。
那么话说回来，到底是谁将能满足自己的好奇心呢？

Ada pepatah, Rasa ingin tahun membunuh kucing, namun kedua gadis ini membuat pengecualian besar akan kalimat itu dengan rasa ingin tahun mereka yang tidak kenal batas dalam mencari tahu bagaimana sesuatu dapat bekerja. Bagi Eru, segala jenis misteri dapat menarik minatnya. Sebagaimana matanya merekah karena penuh semangat, Eru bertekat untuk memecahkan kasus-kasus dengan temannya, yang terkadang membatunya dalam beberapa tugas pemecahan kasus. Tidak peduli betapa besar atau kecilnya itu, tidak ada yang bisa lari darinya yang merupakan perwujudan dari keingintahuan itu sendiri. Sementara bagi Rikka, pertanyaan besarnya adalah tentang cinta. Menjadi asing dengan perasaan seperti itu telah membuat Rikka bingung saat berusaha menyusuri emosi-emosi baru yang harus dirasakannya ketika semua itu datang tiba-tiba. Meskipun tiba-tiba, tidak diragukan lagi bahwa Rikka ingin menjelajah lebih jauh ke dunia akan cinta yang baru ini tempat dia berada. Akan semuanya itu, siapa dari mereka berdua yang akan terpuaskan rasa ingin tahunya.

Como reza el dicho, la curiosidad mató al gato; pero estas dos chicas suponen una gran excepción a esta frase, pues su curiosidad no tiene límites a la hora de intentar dilucidar cómo funciona algo en particular. Misterios de todo tipo llaman la atención de Eru repentinamente; sus ojos se iluminan con pasión y se decide a resolver el caso con sus amigos, quienes la ayudan a regañadientes en estos periodos de resolver misterios. No importa lo grandes o pequeños que éstos sean, nada se le escapa a una chica que puede ser la personificación misma de la curiosidad. En el caso de Rikka, sus grandes preguntas se refieren al amor. Haber sido ajena a esa clase de sentimiento ha dejado a Rikka un tanto confusa a la hora de explorar este nuevo sentimiento que ha de afrontar y que ha surgido de la nada. Aunque haya sido repentino para Rikka, no hay duda de que quiere aventurarse más en este nuevo mundo del amor en el que se encuentra ahora. Dicho esto, ¿cuál de estas dos chicas saciará su curiosidad?

Aoyama Nanami (Sakura-sō no Pet na Kanojo) vs. Saber (Fate Series)

“When your best isn't enough.”
Life isn't always fair. You try so hard to attain your dreams, but sometimes fate has other ideas. Consistent effort is not always rewarded, but these two girls will keep trying regardless.
A diligent and determined girl, Nanami stops for no one in the quest to achieve her goals. She puts her heart and soul into everything she does, even if she feels worn out or hurts herself in the process. This hard working attitude of hers also applies to the pursuit of love. However, the feelings of others cannot be helped sometimes, and Nanami has to move on with her broken heart, hoping for a brighter future.
Saber is a king who puts her people before herself. She disregards her needs and wants, all for the sake of building a strong nation that nobody will be able to challenge. Her best interests are not enough, however, as she is forced to live with the guilt of never being able to save her country from destruction. And for as long as she wanders, she will continue trying her best to find a way to save them.
The world is cruel, but they will keep fighting until their last breath.

Tomori Nao (Charlotte) vs. Sakurada Akane (Jōkamachi no Dandelion)
友利奈绪(Charlotte) vs. 樱田茜(城下町的蒲公英)

Akane finally crept past the final camera near her house door and heaved a sigh of relief as she entered the gate when she saw a white-haired girl at the front. Wondering who she was, she tried to take a closer look, but was quickly thwarted as the girl suddenly disappeared then reappeared in front of her. Startled, Akane tried to escape using her powers, but was caught at her leg by the woman who introduced herself as Tomori Nao, her confidence trainer. She was apparently hired by her family to engage Akane in preparation for her speeches. For weeks, they trained on building Akane's confidence, with Nao throwing Akane directly into random crowds, forcing her to face her fears directly as she praciced her speeches. Even on Akane's few off-days, she had to work on other factors like her speech patterns or body gestures. After weeks of intense training, it was graduation day as Nao packed up her belongings and got ready to leave the kingdom. As she exited the house, Akane opened her balcony window and saluted to Nao, who returned the gesture with a smile as she walked off...

Sakura Chiyo (Gekkan Shōjo Nozaki-kun) vs. Kirisaki Chitoge (Nisekoi)
佐仓千代(月刊少女野崎君) vs. 桐崎千棘(伪恋)

>> Show/Hide match previews <<

“In this story, I am Juliet.”
While they may need to be swept up off their feet from time to time, both Sakura Chiyo and Kirisaki Chitoge have shown that they can afford to be independent. A slight miscommunication somehow got Chiyo to work under the boy whom she loves. Despite learning what he is like, Chiyo learns to think ahead of his pace and anticipate his next moves so that nothing fazes her anymore. To make up for her constant travels, Chitoge attempts to figure out what it is that people are thinking and how to respond appropriately. An encounter with the one she detests made her realize that being herself is just as important as forging bonds with others. Which girl can still hold down her fort when all is said and done?

Yukinoshita Yukino (OreGairu) vs. Jibril (No Game No Life)

“Knowledge is power.”
One step ahead of the competition—the motto of both of these challengers. Yukinoshita Yukino awaits in the Service Club, preoccupying herself until someone seeks her assistance. Whenever she is given a task, she will do everything within her power to make sure the outcome of the situation is valid. Hungry for knowledge, Jibril shows no restraint when it comes to soliciting and exchanging information with other people. When it comes to games, Jibril shows no remorse, using every concept in her arsenal to her utmost advantage. Is Yukino's gaze enough to send shivers down Jibril's spine, or does Jibril's database have the information to grant her a positive predicament?

Asada Shino (Sword Art Online) vs. Tokisaki Kurumi (Date A Live)
朝田诗乃(刀剑神域) vs. 时崎狂三(约会大作战)

“Legendary Shooter”
Since the past, these two amazing shooters have fought each other. Shino always snipes from afar with Hecate II, and Kurumi flies around and shoots with her barrel gun. Finally, their prowess takes them to the quarterfinal of the ISML.

Kurumi: Huh, not bad. You are quite the formidable opponent.
Shino: You are, too, though no one could escape from my Hecate before.
Kurumi: Hahaha...but now is the end for you. I will show you my true ability.
Shino: Yeah, stop playing around and show me your ability. I will make you eat your own words.
Kurumi: Alright, let's start!
Shino: Yoshi!!

Shino and Kurumi usually keep fighting until one of them loses. But this time is different. The more votes they gain from the audience, the stronger they are. So who is your favourite shooter?

Aragaki Ayase (Ore no Imōto) vs. Kuroyukihime (Accel World)

“Your eyes reveal all secrets; your heart reveals the story.”
While their beauty shines from the outside, Aragaki Ayase and Kuroyukihime have feelings even they cannot share out in the open. A school model and a fashion model, it is not hard to understand why everyone can't keep their eyes off of Ayase. Ayase can be very straightforward and blunt, leaving no gaps in her opinion of those who speak ill about her or any of her comrades. Kuroyukihime’s calm and composed manner makes anyone blessed to simply chat and share tea with her. Kuroyukihime seeks power, power to not only become the strongest player in the game, but enough power to protect those who are dear to her. When the dust settles, will it be Ayase or Kuroyukihime left standing?

Shiina Mashiro (Sakura-sō no Pet na Kanojo) vs. Makise Kurisu (Steins;Gate)
椎名真白(樱花庄的宠物女孩) vs. 牧濑红莉栖(命运石之门)

“Perseverance is the key to success.”
Geniuses in their own rights, Shiina Mashiro and Makise Kurisu have proven time and time again why they are the best at their crafts. Before she arrived to Japan, Mashiro's works were already presented in various art galleries. Despite switching into a new type of medium, Mashiro's new works were quickly published in Japan, making her one of the top rising stars in the manga world. At a young age, Kurisu was already giving lectures about various difficult concepts. If there is a scientific explanation to a certain phenomenon, Kurisu will get to the bottom of it until she is satisfied with her observations. Which of these two contestants has enough brainpower to get her through this predicament?

Otosaka Ayumi (Charlotte) vs. Lala Satalin Deviluke (To LOVE-Ru)
乙坂步未(Charlotte) vs. 菈菈·萨塔琳·戴比路克(出包王女)

“Happiness is the strongest energy for every creature.”

The warmth of the summer has brought many smiles for the people, and, of course, also for Otosaka Ayumi and Lala Satalin Deviluke who are cheerful every moment we see them.

Even though she's the youngest in her family, Ayumi has the biggest spirit and optimism. She wants to spread a bit of her excitement to the people around her. A warm greeting and smile in the morning or even a lunchbox with encouraging words are some of her ways to show a positive aura before the start of a day.
Lala, the Deviluke princess, always starts her morning with a huge explosion of spirit. Near her, you won't get bored—she has surprises in every tool and device that sometimes can make you annoyed but happy at the same time.

Ayumi and Lala with the flowers of happiness scattered in the arena fill the Quarterfinal match of ISML Summer 2015 today. Which girl will you support?

Sakura Chiyo (Gekkan Shōjo Nozaki-kun) vs. Onodera Kosaki (Nisekoi)
佐仓千代(月刊少女野崎君) vs. 小野寺小咲(伪恋)

>> Show/Hide match previews <<

"Ready for the highlight of my youth!"
Sometimes, surprises come in ways unimaginable. When Sakura Chiyo confessed to a boy she was interested in, she got his autograph as a reply and an invitation to work on his manga series. Although this was not the ideal scenario Chiyo wanted, being near him once in a while did have its benefits, and if it could get her closer to him, she would be willing to make her situation work. When Onodera Kosaki realized that her admirer still held onto his promise after ten years, she was elated. With a possible key to open the answers to all questions, Kosaki hopes to one day fully open up to her admirer and tell him about her feelings. Which of these two girls will be able to see the end of her story with a smile on her face?

Yukinoshita Yukino (OreGairu) vs. Yuigahama Yui (OreGairu)
雪之下雪乃(我的青春恋爱喜剧果然有问题) vs.
由比滨结衣(我的青春恋爱喜剧果然有问题)

The highest position in Nova is getting closer. On this third day, four girls remain to fight for two seats in the Nova Division final match. Two of them are Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui who are back to meet again in the same arena.

Yukino couldn’t expect what happened to her in 2015. Having finished in the 15th position of ISML, many doubts arose about her chance to take the spotlight this year. But Yukino did prove that she was able to take the very first Necklace, the Aquamarine.
We can say that Yui is one of the more successful newcomers in ISML history. Even though she couldn't get any titles in the Regular Season, her 5th position might be enough to get rid of fans’ doubts built up from the prelims stage. She still has a good chance for the Nova Circlet, or maybe the Tiara.

In the previous match in Ruby 5, Yukino was able to make Yui admit her loss. But as the tournament continued, the situation changed quickly. Will Yukino keep her way smooth to the next jewel, or will Yui get her revenge?

今天，季后赛第一阶段的第3个比赛日，距离决出分区最强者的时刻日益临近，四强们将为分区决赛之席展开争夺。雪之下雪乃和由比滨结衣，这一次将作为新星区的四强进行两人之间的第二次交锋。

雪乃以第15名的成绩结束了她的2014年世萌之旅，很多人都不再对她抱有期待。然而，雪乃用行动证明了自己：强势夺得了意义非凡的海蓝宝石项链。
结衣，即使细数世萌历史，也是表现非常优异的一年生。尽管她之前没有拿到项链，但常规赛第5的成绩多少让她的粉丝坚定了决心，而眼前正是一个能让她获得新星头环甚至是皇冠的良机。

在红宝石阶段第5轮比赛中，雪乃击败了结衣，但随着比赛愈加激烈，形势早已变幻莫测。这场比赛会是雪乃顺利地向她第二件首饰进发，还是结衣成功复仇？

Posisi tertinggi di Nova semakin dekat, tersisa empat gadis yang akan memperebutkan dua kursi di babak Final Divisi Nova pada hari ke-3 ini. Dua dari antara mereka adalah Yukinoshita Yukino dan Yuigahama Yui, yang kali ini kembali berhadapan di arena yang sama.

Yukino tentu saja tidak akan menyangka apa yang akan terjadi pada dirinya di 2015. Berakhir di posisi 15 ISML 2014, banyak keraguan muncul akan kemungkinan Yukino untuk mengambil alih sorot lampu ISML tahun ini. Namun Yukino membuktikan bahwa dia mampu dengan menjadi pemenang Kalung pertama tahun ini, Aquamarine.
Yui boleh dikatakan salah satu pendatang baru tersukses dalam sejarah ISML. Meski mengakhiri musim tanpa gelar sama sekali, posisi 5 di klasemen akhir sudah cukup untuk menyingkirkan segala keraguan para fans sejak babak pra-eliminasi. Masih terbuka lebar kesempatannya untuk Penghias kepala Nova atau mungkin Tiara 2015.

Pada pertarungan sebelumnya di Ruby 5, Yukino memang mampu membuat Yui mengaku kalah. Namun seiring dengan perjalanan turnamen, keadaan dapat sangat cepat berubah. Akankah Yukino dapat memastikan jalannya tetap mulus menuju perhiasan berikutnya ataukah Yui yang akan mampu membalaskan kekalahannya?

Jibril (No Game No Life) vs. Kurousagi (Mondaiji)

Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the finals of the Game Fiesta 2015. Having been through round after round of ambitious competitors vying for the ultimate prize, we have finally reached the ultimate round to decide this year's Game Fiesta's Emperor, or rather Empress, as we have two woman humanoids as our final contestants. On the blue side, we have a pink-eared bunny by the name of Kurousagi. Blessed with hyper-fast reflexes, this bunny is no mere girl gamer here as she takes things to the maximum, having completely obliterated all her opponents in the past few rounds. She seems to be confident about her chances here. But, a certain Flugel will not take that for an answer as on the left side, we have Jibril. With her intense knowledge on several games, Jibril can always find a way to execute a flashy move to finish off her matches in style, to the point where even her opponents have been charmed by her gameplay.

With all that said and done, let us move on to the voting portion. With 20% of the votes contributing to the final result, who shall be your final victor?

Aragaki Ayase (Ore no Imōto) vs. Yūki Asuna (Sword Art Online)
新垣绫濑(我的妹妹哪有这么可爱！) vs. 结城明日奈（亚丝娜）(刀剑神域)

Which is better: being loved or to love? some may ask. To some, the feeling of being idolized and loved by many is most important. But neither of these two girls lacks fandom, and the love they have matters more.

As a teenage model, the flashlight of cameras and the spotlight of being the front face of a magazine's cover and the highlight of showbiz are parts of Aragaki Ayase's day. Tiring as it is, she enjoys such a life because she has a friend whom she treasures most. She will do anything to keep her close.

"Lightning Flash" Asuna, as she is famously known, has lots of fans in the virtual world where she and 10,000 other players are trapped. While she is, on one hand, a powerful figure in the world's strongest guild, she is also a beauty in a community populated by men. But the praise and love of her surroundings mean nothing to her. She had been seeking a goal to fight, and found them in a person she now loves as her boyfriend.

With the love they possess, they strive forward everyday. But today in the Semifinal of Stella Division, which one will prevail?

椎名真白(樱花庄的宠物女孩) vs. 千反田爱瑠(冰菓)

“And so, we try and see things through a different lens...”
Despite their upbringings, Shiina Mashiro and Chitanda Eru will not let their pasts chain them to limited futures. At first, Mashiro's world was white, as close to none was willing to interact with the quiet, yet talented artist. Now that Mashiro has other people to interact with and lean on, her world is full of color and unlimited possibilities to go alongside her art. Eru is expected to settle down with her family and take over as head of her farmland. Still, this won't stop Eru from questioning even the simplest of things, determined to find an answer that will satisfy her. Which of these two girls is ready to take the next step forward when all is said and done?

Kuroyukihime (Accel World) vs. Nakamura Yuri (Angel Beats!)

“Leadership isn't given; it's earned.”
Leaders in their own ways, Kuroyukihime and Nakamura Yuri prepare to fight for what may be a critical moment for the right to battle for the Heavenly Tiara. Kuroyukihime hid behind the shadows of her game, worried that returning would only bring her more unnecessary pain and memories she did not want to recollect. With the help of her friends, Kuroyukihime decided to stand once more, determined to prove why she should be considered the strongest of the elite. In collaboration with her peers, Yuri created a society dedicated to adding an extra spice in life while annoying those of authority. The bonds that she has made with them are special, and she will do whatever it takes to make sure all are safe from harm’s way. Will Kuroyukihime or Namakura Yuri prove that they have the superior leadership skills?

Yui-nyan (Angel Beats!) vs. Nakano Azusa (K-ON!)

“Nya, nya, nyan~”
The power of a cat is terrifying: it can do anything it wants in the house. It's so cute, you'll forgive it anyways. But each cat has its own little kingdom and if they happen to meet each other, a crazy catfight may happen. But the fight today is not simply between two cats, because they both happen to also be a singer and a guitarist!
On the left, Yui-nyan is a cat by choice and will use the power of rock music to send chills down your spine. Her everlasting smile makes hearts melt. On the right, Azusa, nicknamed Azu-nyan by the other members of the light music club, will put on her cat ears and interpret a cute and gentle song. Now it's time for the audience to vote: which gave the best perfornyance?

“Motivation from the past”
As student council president, Tomori Nao has a lot of jobs related to stopping the misuse of special powers by several people. Even though she is quite introverted around her classmates, she is a great leader in her member's eyes. Her past experience with her brother became a stepping-stone for her current life and her reason to stop misuse of special ability wielders. On the other side, Kurumi is quite dependable for her friends. She is in charge of patrolling and make sure the perimeter is clear of zombies. This purpled-haired girl also had a bad experience that motivated her to protect her friends. She is a brave girl and willing to sacrifice herself for their sakes. Other than that, her actions also never fail to amuse us. So who is your choice?

Onodera Kosaki (Nisekoi) vs. Yukinoshita Yukino (OreGairu)
小野寺小咲(伪恋) vs. 雪之下雪乃(我的青春恋爱喜剧果然有问题)

>> Show/Hide match previews <<

“A never-ending pursuit”

Snicker at it or agree with it, there's no denying that love is just one unfathomable mystery no one can solve at all. That applies as well to our lovely finalists who have been struck by love's arrows.

Once known as the fearsome Ice Queen, Yukino now finds that she cannot control her feelings well, struck vulnerable by a particular arrow. She begins to follow her heart instead of doing what's right and carries out the important mission known as love in order to find the answer to all of her questions. Kosaki, on the other hand, has long been enchanted by the spell of romance and has followed its commands to captivate the person she loves. Be it through simple methods like Valentine's chocolates or through unconventional ways, she hopes that one day she can finally break out of the spell by capturing the heart of the person she loves.

With both girls here undergoing trials of their own, who shall claim victory here and discover the answer that will solve love once and for all?

Yuigahama Yui (OreGairu) vs. Kirisaki Chitoge (Nisekoi)

“Courage lies in the eyes of its beholder.”
The ability to step up to the plate when no one wanted to take that step forward—a key quality that Yuigahama Yui and Kirisaki Chitoge possess. Yui usually follows along with the crowd in hopes of not making too many enemies with those around her. But, when things seem clearly awry, Yui will not hesitate to address the issue and solve it as soon as possible. Chitoge tries to do as much as she can if it means gaining the trust of those around her. By being around as many people as possible, Chitoge hopes to learn how to properly interact with them so she can finally gain some comrades. Will either Yui or Chitoge be able to advance forward after the dust settles?

“Time to leave my mark!”
No turning back now. Sakura Chiyo and Jibril need to throw in everything they have if they are looking for a beneficial spot for the race to the Tiara. It is not easy for a girl in love like Chiyo to go through probably the oddest of antics surrounding her peers and co-artists. Of all of her acquaintances, Chiyo may be the only one to keep a level head while keeping everyone in check. Knowledge is power, and Jibril knows and follows that phrase to a T. If there is anything she can learn, Jibril is more than willing to add it into her already large files of data. Is Chiyo's tenacity enough to grant her the victory, or is Jibril's spontaneity too much for her opponent to handle?

Yoshino (Date A Live) vs. Shiro (No Game No Life)
四糸乃(约会大作战) vs. 白(NO GAME NO LIFE 游戏人生)

“Understanding ourselves under a snowy sky...”
They may be small, but underneath the quiet exteriors lie fires waiting to burst. Yoshino prefers not to fight, wishing to settle conflict with as little physicality as possible. However, if pushed into a corner, Yoshino will not hesitate to freeze her opponents solid if it means getting her friends out of danger. Shiro is usually seen next to her brother when attempting to formulate strategies to conjure a victory. But, even if her brother is not on her side, Shiro still proved to be a capable tactician, willing to go the distance for a chance to win. Will Yoshino fall under Shiro's trap, or will Shiro be left in the cold by Yoshino?

Ayase wandered through the woods, diverting from the forest path to a secret cave hidden by the trees and bushes surrounding it. As she approached the entrance, the cave, blocked by a stone door, spoke in a mechanized voice to display the item on the pad that slowly revealed itself as the metal casing slid up. Ayase then unzipped her bag and took out a sharpened kitchen knife and placed it on the pad. It scanned the knife and turned green, indicating that Ayase could pass through as the cave’s door moved towards the side, revealing a room. Entering the room, she was greeted by Mashiro, who was attempting to practice her Plan C attacks on a training dummy while waiting for her comrade. Seeing Ayase's presence, she stopped and blankly greeted her friend. Without warning and certainly without returning the greeting, Ayase quickly leapt towards Mashiro in an attempt to silence her comrade, but was quickly deflected by Mashiro as she jumped back in response. Both sides stood on opposite ends, knowing very well what this battle was for: the Circlet. Both sides stared at each other and then the fight began....

Saber(Fate系列) vs. 牧濑红莉栖(命运石之门)

“One Step Ahead to the Future”

What kind of future lies in front of us? No one knows exactly.
Saber doesn't know what will wait for her when she decides to join the Holy Grail War and makes a contract with her Master; will she lose and disappear, or will true victory be the one she will get? Even though the future is still blurred, Saber will stay with her commitment for the sake of her people.
Makise Kurisu would have never expected what happened to her life when she started the research on a time machine, about how precious and important the papers and experiments she had would be and keep going. Makise only wishes that she had done something right and would be able to help the people in the future.

The future isn't as far as we imagined; when we open our eyes in the morning, when we open the door, or when we turn on our smartphone, there is our future. Yes, the future is one step ahead.

“You cannot stay quiet forever.”
They say silence is the most powerful form of speech, and when these girls raise their voices, one should be wary. Yukinoshita Yukino was put in a service club with the hope that she would open up to other people. Yet Yukino is the most insightful of her club members, taking the time to dissect a person's issues and giving him or her as many options as possible to resolve the problem. Eucliwood Hellscythe has to keep her emotions in check, as her words alone are enough to cause an effect around her. But when her friends are in danger, Eucliwood will use her voice to save her comrades, even if she harms herself in the process. Who will have the final say once the dust settles?

Yoshino (Date A Live) vs. Yūki Asuna (Sword Art Online)
四糸乃(约会大作战) vs. 结城明日奈（亚丝娜）(刀剑神域)

“I'm trying to warm my heart to others. Have you done that?”
It may take a while, but getting to know Yoshino and Yūki Asuna is time worth investing. Yoshino is quiet, reserved, and fears harm. If she is suddenly attacked by anonymous people, Yoshino simply freezes them in their place and runs away, hoping to find another area where she can roam in peace. She simply wants to make contact with people and chat with them normally without the fear of getting captured behind her back. Asuna doesn't trust people much, usually relying on her own set of skills and striking when it is most convenient for her. She prefers not acquainting herself with anyone, as one never knows what could happen to him or her in this virtual world. An encounter with another adventurer made her consider opening up to others and possibly joining a guild that she could trust. Can Yoshino or Asuna keep on fighting until they have found proper places they can call home?

Mashiro: White-blue hair, red-gold eyes, 11-years-old, and a queen.
Shiro: Quite observant of you. I can see why you are seen as a well-crafted artist.
Mashiro: *pulls out a sketchbook and draws intensely*
Shiro: I tend to never fight without knowing my enemy. You are a world famous artist who then became a popular mangaka. Still only in high school. Your biggest flaw is your lack of common sense, but that seems to be a plus with the audience.
Mashiro: *finishes and shows her drawing* Do you want it?
Shiro: *amazed by the drawing* I-I can see why you are famous for your art. *takes it for herself* You’re not one to talk, I see.
Mashiro: Not much to say except I’m like you. There is a boy by my side who cares for me. He wants to keep up with me while I try to be the symbol of achievement for him. You cannot read emotions as well as I can.
Shiro: W-wow.

Accelerator (Toaru Majutsu no Index) vs. Gilgamesh (Fate Series)

“The One, The Strongest”

What does it mean to be The Strongest? No one is stronger than him, and that means only one person can bear that title. On Day 1 of Male Finals, two guys claim themselves as "The Strongest": Accelerator and Gilgamesh.

Accelerator, the strongest Level 5 in Academy City whose name can be heard from the dark side of the city, makes people shiver. Every one of his fights is a one-way-match; in other words, you'll certainly lose. Rank 1 isn't an urban legend of Academy City or a bedtime story. Pray for yourself to not meet this boy.
Gilgamesh, King of Kings wrapped in his golden armor, laughs from the arena. His laughter isn't because of something funny, but because he believes victory is in his hand, even without moving his body from the place he stands. His enemy will never know what artifact he'll use to ensure his win.

Remember, there's only one winner! What strategies or surprises that will happen in the arena, we can’t know. Only one thing is certain, The Scepter is getting closer!

“唯一，最强”

“最强者”是怎样的概念？没有人比他更强，也就意味着，只有一个人能享有这个称号。而在世萌决赛期男子组的第一个比赛日，出现了两个自称“最强者”的人：一方通行和吉尔伽美什。

一方通行，学园都市的最强Level 5，即使在暗部组织中也响彻着他的大名，令人不寒而栗。他的每一场战斗都呈现了一边倒的局势，换句话说，你一定会输。他排名第一绝不是都市传说或者睡前故事，你能做的只有祈祷着不要遇到他！
吉尔伽美什，这个英雄王正身着他金闪闪的黄金铠甲放声大笑。他笑绝不是因为遇到了有趣儿的事，而是他认定自己不用迈出哪怕一步就能把胜利纳入囊中。而他的敌人永远不知道他将会用何种宝具将自己击败。

记住，胜利者只有一个。战场上出现任何战略或奇袭我们都无法预知。只有一件事确定无疑，那就是，权杖越来越近了！

"Yang Utama, Yang Terkuat"

Apa artinya menjadi paling kuat? Jawabannya tentu saja tidak ada yang lebih kuat dari dirinya, yang artinya hanya ada satu orang yang mampu menyandang gelar tersebut. Di Hari pertama Final Pria ini, ada dua orang pria yang mengklaim dirinya sebagai yang terkuat: Accelerator dan Gilgamesh.

Accelerator, Level 5 terkuat di Kota Pelajar, mendengar namanya dari sisi gelap kota saja sudah membuat orang gemetaran. Setiap pertarungannya adalah pertarungan satu arah, atau dengan kata lain kalian pasti akan kalah. Ranking 1 bukanlah sebuah legenda kota Pelajar atau bukanlah sebuah cerita sebelum tidur. Berdoalah agar tidak bertemu dengan bocah ini.
Gilgamesh, Raja segala Raja, berbalut baju zirah emas, tertawa dari atas arena. Tertawa bukan karena sebuah kelucuan melainkan karena dia yakin akan kemenangan di tangannya, bahkan tanpa perlu menggeser tubuhnya dari tempat dia berdiri. Musuhnya tidak akan pernah tau artifak apa yang akan dia pakai untuk memastikan kemenangannya.

Ingat, cuma ada satu pemenang! Strategi apa yang akan mereka pakai atau kejutan apa yang akan terjadi di arena, kita tidak akan pernah tahu. Hanya satu hal yang pasti, Tongkat Kekuasaan semakin dekat!

Kamijō Tōma (Toaru Majutsu no Index) vs. Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)
上条当麻(魔法禁书目录) vs. 爱德华·爱力克(钢之炼金术师)

“You can knock me down, but I'll keep standing up!”
Tenacity, integrity, defiance—these are the building blocks that make Kamijō Tōma and Edward Elric who they are today. If things seem to go awry, Tōma is usually the first one to notice and the first one to jump into the situation. There may be moments when he knows that the enemy may be many times stronger than him, but he will not falter. With his right hand, he will shatter everything to protect the city and those he cares about. Edward may be working for the government, but he is by no means chained to their laws. If he knows that there is something that does not add up, he will get to the bottom of it, even if it means opening up old wounds. The pursuit to his dream may be important, but he will not sacrifice others for the sake of it. Can Tōma knock his opponent down for the count, or will Edward find a way to trap his opponent for the final blow?

Problems run amok in our lives and are entirely common for anyone to have, but the worse ones involve family. Unfortunately, that applies to our two girls here, Tsubasa and Moe. For Tsubasa, her relationship with her family has always been on and off. Drastic changes happened, causing her to grow more distant towards the source that was supposed to provide her with much needed warmth and love that she requires and needs, eventually leading to an oddity. In Moe's case, separation from both her loved ones has caused her to view family as a rather sensitive topic, one that invokes sorrow in her. The memories she wants to put down immediately start to flood back in her mind, locking her up in a room of grief.

While their families have caused them much sadness, it's time for them to move on and be stronger. Who shall overcome her first obstacle to make that come true?

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but not even that will keep the likes of Jibril and Chitanda Eru away from the deepest, unanswered questions. Jibril is most likely to be found in a library, reading as many things as she can to store in her database. She will waste little time in trying to obtain anything that she does not know since the data she collects could be useful for any future strategies and battles. Eru may be meek and calm, but under a mystery, she does whatever she can to see the questions solved. She will invest her time in the mystery in hopes of getting one step closer to a possible solution. Which of these two contestants will have her curiosity intact when all is said and done?

Despite participating in ISML since its inauguration, Saber remains one of the contestants to still stand her ground while trading victories and losses with newcomers and veterans alike. Finding herself near the top of the mountain once again, Saber wastes little time trying to cut down her competition. The King of Knights is focused; she will not quit until she draws her last breath to get one step closer to the tiara. Meanwhile, newcomer Onodera Kosaki has been on a roll of her own, creating a strong base for herself in her ISML debut. Few manage to get in the race for the Tiara on their first try, which makes Kosaki's presence here all the more important. Kosaki doesn't plan on stopping here; she is going to push forward as far as she possibly can. In a clash between veteran and newcomer, can Saber hold her position, or will Kosaki charge to the next round?

This match will be very special for Yuigahama Yui and Makise Kurisu, but why? Yes, because this is their very first step in the ISML Tiara arena.

This is the first year of Yui and she has proven herself already to stand in the top list of Nova. Her splendid performances in the Regular Season and Division Finals must be considered by her enemies. Her merry nature may be one of her strengths to go through match by match, and she needs to keep that.
The last two years were quite unfriendly to Kurisu, but this time will be different. Her position was enough to enter the Postseason this year and it seems Fortune won't stop there. The Division Finals have become the stage for Kurisu to show her existence in ISML. The proof? One seat in the Tiara Finals.

It will be a great match because excitement is at the peak for both of them; this is their first Tiara match. Will Kurisu make her dream come true, or is it Yui who will make surprises?

“And so I pray...”
What could be going on in the minds on two men who think all is lost in the world? Archer barely wishes to talk about his past or what he has done to make it this far in his journey. Speaking in puzzles, twisting words, trying to psyche the opponent out, Archer appears to be in a must-win scenario. Archer may not wish to speak about his wish, but it must be something he truly desires to be granted if he is fighting this hard to obtain the grail. The last thing Okazaki Tomoya wants to do is go back home where all he sees is a man whom he used to consider his father. With nothing to push him forward, Tomoya spends a majority of his day wondering if there is something he can do in this world. An encounter with a girl may be the key to unlocking the many possibilities he has yet to come across. Will either Archer or Tomoya have his prayers answered at the end of this match?

In their perspective dog-eat-dog worlds, two men try to make sense of the chaos they are thrown into. Otonashi Yuzusu happened to wake up in the middle of a battlefield with no recollection of how he got there. Preferring words over violence, Yuzuru tries to calm everyone down and help them think in a rational manner rather than jumping the gun. If Yuzuru is caught in a corner, he will fight to fend for his life. Emiya Kiritsugu enters the Holy Grail war with one method in mind: to use everything in his arsenal necessary to come off victorious. He may not be as magically gifted as his contenders, but what he lacks in power, he makes up with his tactics. When things take a turn for the worse, Kiritsugu will not hesitate to take the gloves off and solve matters with his own hands. Who will stand tall when the dust settles?

This match is about to get chilly as these two combatants square off for the right to fight in the semi-finals. Yukinoshita Yukino enters the arena with a piercing gaze and a sharp tongue. Yukino became a member of the service club in hopes that her supervisor would get off her case when dealing with a variety of people. Over time, Yukino's heart began to melt, as she slowly understood what it took to become someone people could trust as a person and a friend. In contrast, Yoshino is quite shy, but can enter a competition with gusto. Unable to find reliable companions in her new realm, Yoshino started to doubt whether there was any worth in coming to this planet. An encounter with a fellow stranger gave her the courage to find the good in human hearts and seek the warmth she was searching for. Which of these two contenders can keep on fighting as the battle heats up?

Shiina Mashiro (Sakura-sō no Pet na Kanojo) vs.
Sakura Chiyo (Gekkan Shōjo Nozaki-kun)
椎名真白(樱花庄的宠物女孩) vs. 佐仓千代(月刊少女野崎君)

“I am the main character of this story!”
Artists in their own ways, Shiina Mashiro and Sakura Chiyo bothenter combat with an inkbottle in one hand and a pen in the other. Mashiro has always worked in her own, unbeknownst to her that her works would effect her surrounding peers. Since coming to Japan, she was able to understand what it was like to work as a community and see something grow when art is created as a group project. Chiyo only wanted to confess her love, but found herself helping out as a mangaka's assistant. Still, if her artwork is recognized by the person she cares deeply about, she cannot ask for anything more. Who will show to the other that her pen is mightier than a sword?

“I'm sorry, but I have to move on.”
If there is anyone in a state of disarray, these two girls are ready to lend an ear for his or her concerns. Chitanda Eru is a kind, sophisticated girl, eager to find the answers to various questions. When a good friend is in a slump, Eru is willing to help out to the best of her abilities to help him or her proceed to the next step of the mystery. Onodera Kosaki is a gentle, compassionate girl who prefers solving matters with a calm demeanor than a short outburst. Kosaki is usually quick to figure out when something is a misunderstanding, but prefers it when people are open to her about the situation they are or were in. Which of these two girls will remain on her feet when all is said and done?

Yuigahama Yui (OreGairu) vs. Kirisaki Chitoge (Nisekoi)
由比滨结衣(我的青春恋爱喜剧果然有问题) vs. 桐崎千棘(伪恋)

To these two, high school serves as one of the final platforms they have living out the student life and thus, they want to make every single moment count. For Yui, what she wanted was a normal high school life. A life where everyday as she stepped into the classroom, she would be met by her friends who would stick with her through thick and thin as they experienced all the various events in high school with the intention of creating memories that she could take along with her even after she graduated, serving as her joy. Chitoge, on the other hand, wanted to finally settle down and make some close friends once and for all, friends that she could count on through tough times and share joy and sadness. And maybe, just maybe, a relationship with someone as a cherry on top, if she could find her ideal man anywhere...

Have they achieved this sort of life yet? Maybe, maybe not, but right now they have the Tiara in sight. Whom will you support here?

Araragi Koyomi (Monogatari Series) vs. Takasu Ryūji (Toradora!)
阿良良木历(物语系列) vs. 高须龙儿(TIGER×DRAGON！龙与虎)

The heat of the Scepter! This Sunday, we will show you two more male matches, great and hard to ignore. One of them is a K.O. match between Araragi Koyomi and Takasu Ryūji.

“Araragi-kun won't lose. Even though he looks like a fool, he always has his own way,” asserted Mrs. S.H.
Koyomi briefly slipped from any attention from the beginning to half way through the tournament. But in the Emerald period, surprisingly, he appeared in the list of finalists and successfully became the first bearer of the Emerald Pendant.

“Ryūji is feared by a lot of people. Just look at his eyes; no one dares to look directly into those eyes!” cried Mrs. A.T.
Ryūji was invisible during the Regular Season. Taking advantage of his chance against weaker enemies, Ryūji was able to manage his strength bit by bit to keep his position in the safe zone for the Pendant.

Before this match, they met each other in Emerald 4 where Koyomi took down Ryūji with an 845-vote gap. It's not impossible for Ryūji to seek revenge in this match. For Koyomi, victory will be very important to warn other male contestants.

权杖之热！本周末，我们将有两场男子组的比赛，精彩绝不容忽视。其中一场便是阿良良木历和高须龙儿间的淘汰之战。

“垃圾君不会输的。尽管看起来很傻，但那实际上是他的我行我素。”战某某黑某女士如此说到。
直到今年的比赛接近半程时，历才引起了大家的注意。在绿宝石阶段，他很意外地出现在垂饰争夺赛中并最终拿下了绿宝石垂饰。

“很多人都害怕龙儿。看看他的眼睛吧，没人愿直视那双眼睛！”逢某大某女士如此说到。
龙儿在常规赛几乎是透明的存在。但他总是抓住机会击败弱些的敌人，如今更是一点一点地闯到了自己现在的安全位置。

这场比赛之前，两人曾在绿宝石阶段第四场相遇，历以845票的票差胜了龙儿。如今，正是龙儿将要复仇的时机！而对厉来说，这场的胜利将会是对其他对手的示威。

Pertandingan Panas Scepter! Minggu hari ini akan menampilkan dua lagi pertandingan pria yang seru dan pastinya sulit untuk diabaikan, dan salah satunya adalah babak K.O. antara Araragi Koyomi melawan Takasu Ryūji.

"Araragi-kun tidak akan kalah. Meskipun terlihat agak bodoh, dia selalu punya jalan." oleh Nona S.H.
Koyomi sempat luput dari perhatian para fans dari awal hingga pertengahan turnamen. Namun di babak Emerlad, secara mencengangkan dia muncul di daftar finalist Liontin dan akhirnya berhasil menjadi pemenang pertama dari Liontin Emerald.

"Ryūji ditakuti banyak orang. Lihat saja matanya, tak ada yang berani menatap langsung mata itu!" oleh Nona A.T.
Ryūji pun bergerak tidak terlihat selama Musim Reguler. Memanfaatkan peluang menangnya melawan kontestan yang tidak terlalu kuat, Ryūji berhasil mengumpulkan kekuatan sedikit demi sedikit untuk paling tidak dapat bertahan di zona aman Scepter.

Sebelumnya mereka berdua pernah bertemu di babak Emerald 4, di mana Koyomi berhasil menaklukan Ryūji dengan selisih 845 suara. Bukan mustahil bagi Ryūji untuk menjadikan pertandingan penting ini sebagai ajang balas dendamnya. Bagi Koyomi, kemenangan di pertandingan ini sangat penting untuk memberikan sinyal waspada bagi kontestan pria lainnya.

Hikigaya Hachiman (OreGairu) vs. Katsuragi Keima (Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai)
比企谷八幡(我的青春恋爱喜剧果然有问题) vs. 桂木桂马(只有神知道的世界)

“Mind over matter”
They may not be the most sociable people to come across, but when it is necessary, they will speak out and make their opinions heard. Hikigaya Hachiman wanted a normal life where he is not bothered by various people. Yet, a position in a service club may be what he needs to vocally point out everything that may be wrong and try to correct the situation to his utmost potential. Katusragi Keima would rather focus on the world of 2D than try to make sense of how the 3D world tends to interact with others. An unusual contract allowed him to see the benefits of making contact with others and how it could benefit them in the future. Which of these two characters has enough energy to say what is needed to be said before time runs out?

Hoto Mocha (Gochūmon wa Usagi Desu ka?)
史黛菈·法米利昂(落第骑士英雄谭) vs. 保登摩卡(请问您今天要来点兔子吗？)

Having found Felia's guardian, Mocha then made her way towards the bridge that spanned between the eastern and western sides of the town. As she drew closer, she noticed a woman with hair as red as scarlet who seemed to be having some problems. With her instincts kicking in once more, she decided to approach this woman.

Mocha: Hello, is there something wrong?
Vermilion: Errrr, I was wondering if there is an area designated for... l-love locks...
Mocha: *laughs* Oh, silly you, love locks are not located here, at least not on this bridge.
Vermilion: Really…? Oh, damn. I really wanted to do that with Ikki-kun...
Mocha: Well, there are other romantic things you can do in this town…
Vermilion: REALLY?!
Mocha: Yes. For example, you could have tea together at a cafe. Just think about it, sipping coffee in a rustic environment... doesn't it sound lovely?
Vermilion: That does sound lovely. Alright then, could you recommend some cafes or places for me to visit?
Mocha: Of course! I know exactly a place for you to visit.

The two of them took a stroll together, gleefully chattering about many things as they made their way towards Rabbit House.

Oikura Sodachi (Monogatari Series)
尤莉丝·爱雷克西亚·冯·里斯妃特(学战都市Asterisk) vs. 老仓育(物语系列)

Wishes are what everyone yearns to make reality for they represent the ideal settings that they desire, whether it is to bring joy to others or to one's self. Be it ambitious or simple, the passion to make that come true is certainly not to be underestimated and these two are no exceptions. For Julis, a childhood spent with a certain orphanage left her wanting to keep that institution alive as her way of gratitude and is her driving force in her conquest to be the champion in the upcoming tournaments. The motivation to preserve the orphanage has certainly caused Julis to be even more determined to make a name for herself. Sodachi, however, faces a much different situation. Her wish consists of having a happy family, even if the odds are against her. She will persist in making that simple dream come true, although reality might be more of a threat than a platform to making that wish come true.

With each of their respective wishes, whom will you help succeed?

Tiara Semifinals — Thursday, November 26, 2015

Yukinoshita Yukino (OreGairu) vs. Shiina Mashiro (Sakura-sō no Pet na Kanojo)
雪之下雪乃(我的青春恋爱喜剧果然有问题) vs. 椎名真白(樱花庄的宠物女孩)

>> Show/Hide match previews <<

We must admit that this match of Yukinoshita Yukino and Shiina Mashiro will be the greatest match before the Final. Many say that the winner of this match will decide the final result for the Tiara.

Both of them performed their best from the Prelims, to the Regular Season, and until the Division Finals.
Yukino shined brightly in her second year in ISML compared to her debut in 2014, and the boost of support and encouragement from the fans are real this year. The Aquamarine Necklace in the beginning of the tournament and the Nova Circlet at the end of the Division Finals became hers, and her eyes focus on one thing, the Tiara.
Mashiro was the first girl who was able to secure a necklace three times in a row; she won the Topaz Necklace in 2013, 2014, and now 2015. Even though she failed to get the Stella Circlet, many fans are still hoping for her best performance in today’s Tiara match.

The wind blows hard in the arena as if it wants to join in the heat of the Semi-finals. Who will advance to the Final, Yukino or Mashiro?

[[ Show/Hide additional languages ]]

我们必须承认，雪乃和真白的对决是决赛前最精彩的一场。很多人甚至会说，这场的结果将决定皇冠的归属。

雪乃和真白两人从预选到常规再到分区赛都有着优异的表现。
雪乃一扫2014年的颓势，在她参赛的第二年闪耀夺目，粉丝们的支持与鼓励无比地真切。赛季首条项链——海蓝宝石项链与象征新星区最强的蓝宝石头环皆被雪乃收入囊中，她现在正致力于夺得皇冠。
真白，则是世萌有史以来连续三年夺得同一条项链的第一也是唯一一人，她在13，14，15年全都拿到了黄玉项链。尽管没得到恒星区的钻石头环，但显然头环并不是最终目的。她的支持者们希望真白先走好脚下的这一步，取得今天这场比赛的胜利，进而向皇冠进发。

风儿正喧嚣，仿佛也想加入激烈的比赛当中。谁会晋级决赛呢？雪乃还是真白？

Kita harus mengakui bahwa pertandingan antara Yukinoshita Yukino dan Shiina Mashiro ini akan menjadi pertandingan paling seru sebelum final. Banyak yang bilang bahwa pemenang dari pertandingan ini akan menentukan hasil akhir Tiara.

Keduanya tampil sangat baik mulai dari babak Pre-eliminasi, Musim Reguler sampai Final Divisi.
Yukino sangat bersinar di tahun keduanya ini jika dibandingkan debutnya di ISML 2014, suntikan dukungan dan semangat para fans begitu nyata tahun ini. Kalung Aquamarine di awal musim dan Circlet Nova di akhir Final Divisi sudah didapatnya, dan sekarang matanya dan pikiran tertuju ke satu benda, Tiara.
Mashiro adalah gadis pertama yang berhasil mengamankan kalung tiga kali berturut-turut; Mashiro sudah memenangkan Kalung Topaz dari ISML 2013, 2014 dan 2015. Meski gagal mengamankan Circlet Stella, banyak fans yang masih berharap lebih akan peforma Mashiro di Babak Tiara ini.

Angin begitu kencang di arena, seakan-akan ingin turut serta dalam panasnya pertandingan Semi final ini. Siapakah yang akan melaju ke final, Yukino ataukah Mashiro?

Chitanda Eru (Hyōka) vs. Kirisaki Chitoge (Nisekoi)
千反田爱瑠(冰菓) vs. 桐崎千棘(伪恋)

"Almost there..."
For two girls who cannot be any more different, a victory here will grant one of these girls major momentum heading towards the finals. Citanda Eru is a soft-spoken, kind-hearted girl who is always trying to help others as much as she can. When dealing with a mystery, Eru searches for every clue imaginable, evaluates it, and tries to deduct how this information is relevant to the case in hand. Kirisaki Chitoge is an outspoken, tenacious girl who has no trouble speaking her mind about various characters and affairs. Behind the strong exterior lies a girl wishing to be accepted into society as someone who can relate to others and give them helpful advice. Does Eru have enough heart to make it to the finals, or will Chitoge's determination pave the way to the prize ahead?

"This is one carnival you don't want to miss!"
Leaders in their own rights, Kanie Seiya and Sakamaki Izayoi battle it out to see who will advance to the next round. Initially, Seiya did not want to have any part in helping out an amusement park that clearly had no way of reviving itself. However, after interacting with the employers, Seiya decided to take a shot at creating the best theme park possibly imaginable, establishing an area where people could relax, have fun, and be entertained. Because Izayoi claimed that there was nothing in his current world that would alleviate him from boredom, a mysterious letter that could transport him to another realm may have been something he needed to kill some time. An encounter with a small guild made him realize that there was some use for this power he possessed, allowing challenges from those who were much stronger than him to push his own limits while helping those in need of his services. Will it be Seyia or Izayoi who will come up with a plan that will help him get one step closer to the scepter?

Aoyama Nanami (Sakura-sō no Pet na Kanojo) vs. Shiro (No Game No Life)
青山七海(樱花庄的宠物女孩) vs. 白(NO GAME NO LIFE 游戏人生)

"Dependable Vs. Dependent "
Aoyama Nanami is a dependable person, especially in Sakurasō. Previously, she lived in a normal dormitory, but due to financial conditions, she moved. She helps with the house chores, as well as helps Sorata take care Mashiro. Nanami is a diligent student, a hard worker, and never gives up on achieving her goals. Even though she seems harsh towards Sorata, she is actually in love with him. Different from Nanami, Shiro is a dependent girl. This was proven when she asked Dola to wash her hair. But don’t take it the wrong way; her dependent side actually is an attractive point. She has what we called an “imōto” figure that makes it so we can’t turn away from her. Besides that, she also has a really great ability to play any kind of game. Even though Shiro does not have a crush like Nanami, she is really attached to her brother. So between a dependable woman and a dependent girl, which one is your type?

Saber (Fate Series) vs. Jibril (No Game No Life)
Saber(Fate系列) vs. 吉普莉尔(NO GAME NO LIFE 游戏人生)

When one would willingly serve someone and acknowledge the title of “Master”, it means that, most likely, they share the same ideals and that their master is competent enough to follow that ideal through. The two mentioned here are no different. Saber acknowledged the man that summoned her as her master as part of the contract at first, but soon, she felt her master's will and dedication to carry out his motto in life, which deeply impressed Saber. Jibril, on the other hand, was forced into servitude after a loss towards her future master in a game. But during that game, she was amazed by how knowledgeable her master was and how crafty he could really be if he chose. She would willingly follow this human who managed to outsmart her in all sorts of ways.

Right now, they fight to bring glory to their respective “kings.” Whom would you aid in their quest to do so?

Having waved goodbye to Stella and Ikki, Mocha chatted with her little sister as well as the other waitresses at Rabbit House. As she surveyed the surrounding tables, she noticed a long and black-haired girl who looked rather anxious based on her expression. Mocha decided to approach her.

Mocha: Hello, there. What's the matter?
Mitsuki: It's closing on my big brother's birthday, so I decided to get something unique for him this year. However, after wandering around town for days, there wasn't anything suitable for him. My flight takes off in six hours and it really bothers me that I wasn't able to get him anything.
Mocha: Oh dear…that does sound like a crisis. Well, is there anything he really likes?
Mitsuki: Well...I guess he does have a liking towards scarfs.
Mocha: Wait right here. I'll get you something.

Mocha then rushed to get a beautiful muffler for Mitsuki from her room.

Mocha: Here you go. I hope this will suffice?
Mitski: Oh, thank you, miss. I will return the kindness to you one day.

Mitsuki then waved goodbye to Mocha, who smiled back as she made her way into Rabbit House.

Yukino was adorned in an icy blue gown thought to portray her character best. As she took step after step on the red carpet, she reminisced of the times she had in this particular tournament, thinking of the ups and downs she had here. As she opened the grand doors to the final stage, her gaze was met by her opponent, Eru. Eru was robed in a dress adorned with bright colours of yellow and orange, as well as various symbols. With a pure smile and the sparkles in her eyes shining fervently, she wished her opponent good luck. Likewise, Yukino returned the blessing and gave the audience the sight of a rare smile shown on her face. As both girls stepped to their respective corner stages, they hoped that they would be awarded the final prize of them all...the Heavenly Tiara. But both sides know well how this will be the hardest fight of all, for a moment's slip-up could easily result in failure. As the stage dimmed and the spotlight shone, they stepped forward for the fight of their lives.

If it is a beat down he wants, it is a beat down that the opponent is going to get. Said to be the strongest esper in the world, Accelerator would waste little time proving that statement. More unconcerned about his own safety than the safety of others, Accelerator will wreak havoc if something does not go his way or if people try to pick a fight with him. Either way, another fight is another boring chore for him. Don't let Edward Elric's size fool you. Edward is quick on his feet as well as his mind, easily adapting to his opponent's style while figuring out a way to leave the battle unharmed. Edward would use every trick in the book possible in other to seize an opening to his advantage. Who will fall on his knees first when all is said and done?

Archer was one of the Heroic Spirits to join the Holy Grail war in Fuyuki City. Inspired by another, young Archer committed himself to becoming a hero of justice. That's not an ordinary kid's dream, but Archer's passion lies all over it.
This member of the SSS has an unpleasant past; the pain and feeling of losing became his regrets for a long time. But there came a point when Yuzuru decided to stand again and try to be a better man, especially to make someone special proud.

Finally, the long-awaited legendary ISML match is in front of us now. They're back!
The Tiara victor of 2011 and 2012 face each other in a one-on-one duel at the Tournament of Champions Semifinals match today.

"I bring enough coins for today’s match."
Misaka Mikoto, the Railgun, looks very determined. The smile on her face is a sign of her confidence to win this match. The electric spark that comes from her body shows how excited she is to fight with her eternal rival; she loses her patience.
"Hand Sonic... Ready!"
Tenshi, meaning angel, is what friends called Tachibana Kanade, and that title isn't given without reason. Look! Kanade, with a pair of angel wings on her back, gracefully comes down to the earth to welcome Mikoto who already stands in the arena.

The sky is rumbling with shouts from the audience. The earth is shaken with the footsteps of all the impatient fans. Euphoria is everywhere because this match is as great as the Necklace or Tiara match. How about you, are you ready?

With everyone trying to target him to test out his or her own strength, Accelerator wished to relive the times when he wasn't used as some sort of human project for a supposed greater goal. An encounter with an eccentric girl may give him another reason to keep on righting all those who stand in his way. Archer acts more like a lone wolf than a team player, taking matters into his own hands even when plans were discussed on how to go about a certain mission. Archer is searching for a way to make his wish come true, and he will do whatever it takes to see it bear fruit. Who can continue fighting, even as he draws his last breath?

With his mentor away, Araragi Koyomi knew that it was his time to control fate and put knowledge to the test as he encountered supernatural phenomena. He may be reckless and act before he thinks, but Koyomi is determined to protect the city and his friends at any cost. Many people do not seem to trust Sora as their ruler, as he is too carefree and lax in their point of view. But, Sora studies daily the history of this new world in hopes of figuring out the deeper mystery behind these times of war and chaos. With much at stake, the two cannot afford to lose. Does Koyomi have enough power to go through another day, or will Sora be able to maneuver his way towards victory?

Queen of queens was the most dreamed of title for every victor of ISML when they came into this year’s Tournament of Champions. From the eight possible winners of the Tiara, two girls are left in the Final Match. One of them will get the highest honor to be crowned as Queen of ISML.

“This arena will be surrounded by the dark power of Kuroneko...”
Tiara 2013 wasn’t the end for Gokō Ruri, and 2014 might have been the fall for her, but she refused to surrender. She won't waste this golden chance in this year’s Tournament of Champions, and it seems Kuroneko will try to release her secret power in today’s match.
"Hand Sonic Final Version...Ready!"
After succeeding in taking down her eternal rival in the Semifinal, Kanade seems untouchable in this tournament. The wings of Tenshi will cover the arena of the Tournament of Champions and Kanade is in battle mode already; no one can run from her now.

Just one more step to rule the tournament. Kanade the "Tenshi," or Ruri the "Kuroneko"? Everything will be settled now.

No more walking as a lone wolf, Accelerator fights for the safety of those he cares about, making sure that picking a fight with him would be the last thing any enemy would want to have in mind. Araragi Koyomi knows that he is not alone when it comes to dealing with situations bigger than he can handle. With his friends willing to lend a helping hand, Araragi uses their strength to give himself the courage to stand and fight for those whom he cannot afford to lose. Their eyes are set on each other; their minds, calm; their hearts, at ease. One move is all it takes to turn the tide to one’s favor.

Chitanda Eru (Hyōka) vs. Misaka Mikoto (Toaru Majutsu no Index)
千反田爱瑠(冰菓) vs. 御坂美琴(魔法禁书目录)

"What kind of story will we discuss today?"

Gossip, mysteries, and urban legends are popular material around many girls, especially when they talk together with friends who have the same interests as them. Misaka Mikoto and Chitanda Eru are no exception, who actually have a huge interest in those kinds of stories.

"Urban Legends are nonsense, but there's no harm in us finding out."
Mikoto often discussed the urban legends of Academy City with her friends, usually in the nearest restaurant or cafe. A girl is still a girl, and Mikoto still loves the city's legends, even though she is one of the most feared Level 5 in the town.
"I'm curious!"
Just give up and surrender when Eru shows her curiosity to you, especially over some mysteries happening around her. What, who, where, why, or how will be in the air until her thirst in looking for the answer is satisfied.

In this Tournament of Champions, they will try to make their stories. A story about their existence, and also a story about a great battle. Mikoto. or Eru?

“今天我们讲个什么故事好呢？”

流言、异事和都市传说很受女孩子们欢迎，尤其是如果有相同爱好的朋友们可以谈论的话。御坂美琴和千反田爱瑠也不例外。

“都市传说都是无稽之谈，但是去探索一下也不坏嘛。”
美琴常常与朋友们讨论学园都市的都市传说，通常是在附近的餐厅或者咖啡厅。毕竟是一个女孩子，即便是最令人生畏的Level 5, 她依然热爱着那些传说。
“我很好奇！”
当爱瑠向你透露出了好奇之心，你还是直接选择投降吧。什么？谁？哪？为什么？怎么做到的？这些问号将布满空气，除非她的问题得到满意的答案。

萌王大赛上，她们将创造属于自己的故事，关于自己的存在，同时也将是关于一场伟大的战斗的故事。做出你的选择吧，美琴还是爱瑠？

"Cerita apa yang akan kita bahas hari ini?"

Cerita-cerita mistis, gosip ataupun mitos merupakan salah satu bahan obrolan yang paling disukai oleh para gadis, apalagi jikalau dibicarakan bersama teman-teman yang punya minat yang sama. Tidak terkecuali bagi Misaka Mikoto dan Chitanda Eru yang ternyata punya minat yang besar akan cerita-cerita seperti itu.

"Legenda itu omong kosong, namun tak ada salahnya kita cari tahu."
Mikoto sering membahas cerita-cerita legenda Kota Pelajar bersama teman-temannya; biasanya di restoran atau di kafe terdekat. Seorang gadis tetaplah gadis, Mikoto tetap menyukai hal semacam ini meski dia adalah salah satu Level 5 yang ditakuti di kota.
"Aku Penasaran!"
Menyerah dan pasrahlah ketika Eru mengungkapkan rasa penasarannya pada dirimu, terutama atas hal-hal misterius yang terjadi di sekitarnya. Apa, siapa, di mana, mengapa dan bagaimana akan terus terngiang dengar sampai rasa ingin tahunya terpuaskan.

Di arena Turnamen Pemenang kali ini, mereka berdua akan mencoba membuat sebuah cerita; cerita tentang mereka sendiri. Cerita tentang eksistensi mereka, dan juga cerita tentang pertarungan hebat mereka. Mikoto ataukah Eru?

Kirigiri Kyōko (Danganronpa) vs. Tsunemori Akane (Psycho-Pass)

A detective: someone who investigates and solves crimes committed by felons who choose to commit them. A title worthy of these two, one an Inspector in a dystopia disguised as an utopian world, the other trapped in a school forced to solve the countless murders committed by the students caused by the atmosphere of despair. Despite their unfavourable circumstances, they chose to keep calm, to not just simply give up and admit defeat, but rather to solve the crimes laid before them, no matter how complex or dangerous they can really be. Why, you may ask? Well, one might say they are foolish people, people who would not leave any stone unturned despite knowing the consequences. However, others say they are the real-deal, detectives that their respective worlds need.

And so these two detectives face for the very first time and possibly the last. To whom will you give credit?

Rurutie (Utawarerumono) vs.
Kōgami Yuriko (Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru)

Despite them looking like average teenagers in their worlds, the will for the things they have passion in is certainly rather abnormal and amazing for what they have done to uphold this passion they have. Rurutie might be small in stature, but her fascination for the 'fine arts' has crafted her into a big woman capable of listing out the various names of famous artists who have created the ''fine art' that she so adores. Whereas for Yuriko, her resolve to never leave a case unsolved has motivated her to do things she thought she would never do in order to learn the actual truth of the situation, the truth she wants to bring to light to the people involved.

With strong wills behind their backs, who shall prevail in this battle of wills?

Nase Mitsuki (Kyōkai no Kanata) vs.
Tomori Nao (Charlotte) vs.
Isla (Plastic Memories) vs.
Katō Megumi (Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata)

Isla was frantically looking for her dropped earring on the ground, having not noticed it being loose and, as a result, losing it. As she was just about to give up, a figure in a long midnight blue dress appeared and asked whether what she was holding in her hand was what she was so anxious about. Isla looked upon the item and realized that it was indeed her precious earring that she had carelessly dropped earlier. Profusely thanking the person, Isla asked for her benefactor's name. The girl introduced herself as Nase Mitsuki, one of her opponents. Initially surprised, Isla then asked whether both of them could walk towards the grand hall together. Mitsuki agreed with a warm smile and the two of them, hand in hand, made their way towards the final arena, chattering about the incident that had just happened. Meanwhile on the other side, Nao, dressed in a ravishing white dress, was struggling her way to her destination in high heels when she met one of her opponents, Megumi, who was dressed in a delicate light blue gown. Megumi had appeared to be having troubles finding her way, but despite that, her face was still blank in expression. Initially, Nao had ignored the girl and walked away, but she quickly came back and dragged her along with her. As both parties soon met, they stood in front of the door that was the arena of their final battle this year. With a deep breath, they held hands and took the first step into their battle.
