Aragaki Ayase (Ore no Imōto) vs. Yūdachi (Kantai Collection)
>> Show/Hide match previews <<
“Hello guys, your beautiful and cute Ayase is here,” said Ayase to all of voters. Ayase is an idol for everyone. This straight black hair girl is one of those models who appear in fashion magazines. Not only is her beauty one of her charms, but her personality makes us fall in love to her. She is considerate towards others, especially towards her dearest friends. Moving from the beautiful model Ayase, Yūdachi also appears onstage. This cute girl never fails to amuse us with her actions. After she got remodeled, she became more beautiful and more destructive. Yūdachi is a hard worker; she trains frequently in order to become stronger. Her last words before battle: “Don’t forget to vote me, POI!” |
Senjōgahara Hitagi (Monogatari Series) vs.
Tadokoro Megumi (Shokugeki no Sōma)
战场原黑仪(物语系列) vs. 田所惠(食戟之灵)
Sometimes, it's the underdogs who get the last laugh around here, for their determination and will to succeed more than make up for their lack of power. Whether it be in ISML or in their respective animes, there's no denying them. For Hitagi, countless foes stand in her way of reaching for the one she loves. Some obstacles are easier to overcome; others, more difficult. Despite such a disadvantage on her side, Hitagi never gave up once and got her fairy tale ending. Megumi, on the other hand, was never seen as a threat by her foes due to her once mediocre results that almost landed her in expulsion. But, it's with that standard placed upon her that she worked notoriously hard in order to perfect her style of cooking, having reached success in her cooking academics. It's without a doubt that determination is key to success, and these two are brimming with it. Just who will prevail? [[ Show/Hide additional languages ]] 有时候,劣势的一方也可以在这儿笑到最后,因为她们有着不仅是为了弥补实力上不足更为了取胜的决心与意志。无论是在世萌或是在各自的动画中,都没有人会否认她们这点。对战场原黑仪来说,不计其数的敌人阻碍她触及所爱之人。他们中有的较好,有的较坏,但终究都成了拦路虎。尽管黑仪这边有着如此不利,她却未曾放弃而让自己的童话就此结局。另一方面,田所惠,由于自己那平庸的甚至几乎将她置于退学境地的成绩,从未被对手看作是威胁。但是,正是带着加之于身的标准,她才会在业已在料理学业中取得了一定成绩的情况下仍然出了名的努力地工作以求完善自己的料理方式。 无疑,决心是成功的关键;无疑,这两位选手正决心洋溢。那么谁会获胜呢? |

Yatogami Tōka Vs Aoyama Nanami (Sakura-sō no Pet na Kanojo)
“What is this?” the black hair Yatogami Tōka asks. Tōka is curious about everything that she does not know before. She loves to wander around and have a taste of some food. She looks harmless and likes to play like a child, but when it comes to battle, she is a top class spirit that will slash down anyone who gets in her way. She is really considerate towards her friends and willing to sacrifice herself in order to save her dearest person. She is really straight with her feeling and will express everything that she feels. This personality is nothing like Aoyama Namami, who is a closed person when it comes to expressing her feeling. She places other’s happiness above hers. Ever since she moved to her new dorm, she helps with the house chores and taking care of her tenants. She is also a hard worker and the type of person who strives for her dreams. There is one similarity between Nanami and Tōka: they are caring and considerate towards others. Between these two beautiful girls, which one is your choice? |

Yoshino (Date A Live)
丹生谷森夏(中二病也要谈恋爱) vs. 四糸乃(约会大作战)
>> Show/Hide match previews <<
It is difficult to struggle for something you want. Having a chūnibyō experience is not easy. Sometimes, you really want to get rid of it, but, out of nowhere, whether you realize it or not, it can come up. The worst thing is when you meet someone who knows about your dark experience with chūnibyō. This is what Nibutani Shinka is: a school girl who wants to bury her past chūnibyō experience. But, it seems that her ideal life is not going as how she planned, as she joins a club that is practicing chūnibyō, even during school times. In the other side, we have a cute, blue haired spirit, Yoshino, who shies in front of other people, but hides her face with her hood. Yoshino wants to meet nice people, but everyone around her wants to get rid of her, so she freezes them and everything around her with ice. Even though she looks strong when she fights, she is really adorable, cute, and carefree once people start to know her more and become her friend. So, who is your favorite? [[ Show/Hide additional languages ]] 有过一段中二经历并不是让人轻松的事。有时,你会打心底里想要摆脱它,不过,无论你是否能意识到,它无时无地都可能迸发出来。最糟糕的是你还会遇到某些知道你黑历史的人。这就是丹生谷森夏,一个想要埋藏自己那段中二经历的女生。然而进展却不如预期,因她在学校参加过甚至会专门练习中二的社团。另一边,是一个可爱的蓝发精灵,四糸乃。通过自己的能力,她可以轻易地使整个舞台都结成冰。尽管她在战斗时看起来很强硬,但在日常生活中她其实很讨人喜欢。不仅仅是她的可爱,她的无忧无虑也是她的足以融化投票者内心的萌点。还有,四糸乃在他人面前比较怕生,会用帽子遮住自己的脸。那么谁是你的最爱呢? |

Even without expressing her emotions, she always tries to give some sign to her love one to notice her feeling. The other cute girl is an adorable little sister to everyone: Mikan.

Emerald 6 — Friday, September 30, 2016
Adlet Mayer (Rokka no Yūsha) vs Saitama (One Punch Man)
>> Show/Hide match previews <<
In a battle between the self-proclaimed “Strongest Man” and quite possibly the strongest man alive, it could very well be a one-sided battle, but let's look at things from another perspective. On one side, if this were a battle of wits, Adlet would surely come out on top, for even the mighty Saitama might not be able to handle his conniving tactics. Adlet can overwhelm Saitama within seconds if Saitama were to underestimate his arsenal of hidden weapons and poisons hidden in all sorts of places. But, on the other hand, if it were purely a battle of power, Saitama just blows Adlet Mayer out of the water. With unparalleled strength in one single punch, there's simply no living thing, extraterrestrial or not, that can handle that singular punch without sustaining serious damage or perhaps even death. But, in the end, it comes down to a combination of both. Will Adlet's smarts be enough to overcome Saitama's overwhelming power or will Saitama just simply blast Adlet off the face of the earth? |
