The Aquamarine Necklace has always been seen as a symbol of power, as the winners of this particular jewelry from previous years have gone to either win the whole tournament or place in the Top 4. With its shimmering colors of blue, the necklace is one of the seven royal necklaces. Today, eight candidates from different groups come together after arduous rounds of combat against other girls. Whether they may have edged out against their opponents or smashed their opponents to the ground, they are here today to fight for their glory to receive what they deserve. Victorique de Blois and Shiina Mashiro are two contestants who are no strangers to the necklace match scene. Having won jewelries of sorts before, now they stand forward once again with only one goal in mind - to win and place down a strong statement. Shirai Kuroko and Sengoku Nadeko are both veterans to the tournament. While they may have scraped the bottom of the barrel for quite some time in their saimoe careers, the underdogs have been given a chance to leave behind a legacy and will surely take up the opportunity to do so. Tedeza Rize and Isshiki Iroha are also no strangers to the saimoe scene, but have only participated in ISML this year due to various circumstances. If, by chance, they are able to win this particular necklace, it would surely be a chance to showcase their strengths to the voters, who may eventually become their supporters. Whilst Yudachi and Nishikino Maki's respective series are rather popular, the saimoe scene hasn't been kind to the two of them. Thus, need to make the best use of this chance to show the world just how moe ship girls and school idols can really be. As we approach the match day, your votes will be the deciding factors to whom will eventually be awarded this prestigious award. Think carefully, for every vote matters... |
Tomori Nao (Charlotte) vs.
Tokisaki Kurumi (Date A Live) vs.
Makise Kurisu (Steins;Gate) vs.
Nakano Azusa (K-ON!) vs.
Jibril (No Game No Life) vs.
Yūki Asuna (Sword Art Online) vs.
Takanashi Rikka (Chūnibyō demo Koi ga Shitai!) vs.
Oshino Shinobu (Monogatari Series)
The Topaz Necklace dazzles and gives off the aura of power to those that possess it. For years, it has been coveted by treasure hunters, royals, and even the kings and queens of kingdoms alike, but only a handful have proven worthy of receiving the honor to take this necklace for their own. This year, eight candidates who have shown a degree of excellence amongst their fellow peers have been chosen by the necklace itself to fight the other seven candidates. The purpose - to decide the winner of this year's Topaz Necklace Match. This match cannot be tighter, as all the following candidates have shown examples of power against their fellow contestants in the same groups. Some have completely obliterated their opponents, making them a force to be reckoned with. Tomori Nao and Oshino Shinobu are the newcomers to the necklace match, but no one should lower their guard against these two, for they are also the most unpredictable amongst the eight. Tomori has shown just how much of a powerhouse she can be, having been crowd the Summer Diadem Queen last year. Shinobu has been an ISML contestant for more than 3 years, and, with each year, she only gets stronger as she slowly gets her powers back. Yūki Asuna and Takanashi Rikka know the glory that is to win a necklace and, thus, need to maintain their composure here, as even an ounce of arrogance could be detrimental towards their chances. Tokisaki Kurumi and Nakano Azusa are no strangers to necklace matchs. Despite multiple attempts by their fans to claim a necklace for these girls, both only saw failure match after match. However, this year could be the turning stone for them to change their fates into a fairytale ending. Jibril and Makise Kurisu are relatively new to the necklace match scene, but that doesn't mean any one should count them out. The appearances that they have made in their ISML careers have seasoned them into experienced veterans who will use all the tips and tricks they have learnt to launch their path towards victory. The Topaz Necklace Match is a strong indicator of one's strength, and winning it could allow for the winner to easily clinch a top 16 spot. Who shall it be? |
Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko (Hentai Ōji to Warawanai Neko.) vs.
Stella Vermillion (Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry) vs.
Ōmae Kumiko (Hibike! Euphonium) vs.
Hasegawa Kobato (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai) vs.
Sakura Kyōko (Puella Magi Madoka ☆ Magica) vs.
Ebisuzawa Kurumi(Gakkō Gurashi!) vs.
Senjōgahara Hitagi (Monogatari Series) vs.
Ebina Nana (Himōto! Umaru-chan)
They have done their job in Topaz, but even the end result is a bit dissatisfactory for them. They did their best; therefore, they deserve to get one more chance to show themselves again under the ISML spotlight. Even Tsukiko can't express her feeling directly. It's no doubt that she is happy right now to get this rare opportunity to get a circlet. It will be nice to see her with the Topaz Circlet over her head. It would look beautiful on her. A circlet seems to be a fittest accessory for a princess, and Stella knows that. Because of that, she will give her best shot for this. Tonight, no one can stop her on her way to reach for victory. Kumiko is upset because she can't get a good result in this tournament. But when she heard that she can come back to the stage again, she raises her head, wipes away her tears, and practices once again. This is the time for Reisis V. Felicity Sumeragi, Kobato's persona, to wake up and conquer the world. Kobato has spent too much her time in slumber, and this is the right time to show the world the true queen. Kyōko might be losing her spirit to fight, but deep inside, she still wants to fight for her dream. She can't waste this opportunity, because she can see the light of hope beyond the Circlet stage. That's why she must win this time. Kurumi needs to find a better place for her friends to stay, for they have suffered so much. With a shovel in her hand, Kurumi promises to win the match so her friends do not need to fight anymore and enjoy their life peacefully. In the name of her love to her boyfriend, Hitagi vowed to bring home the circlet at any cost. She said that it was a disgrace for her to show her weakness in front of him, so this is the chance to pay back all of shame that she got in previous matches. Nana didn't come from Akita just to lose. Even if she lacks confidence, Nana promises to show her brave side in front of us and try her best to take home a beautiful circlet just for her. Eight fearless ladies with different personalities and different goals are on the stage. One this is certain: to win, get the Topaz Circlet. So, the decision is in your hand! [[ Show/Hide additional languages ]] Mereka telah menyelesaikan tugas mereka di Topaz meski hasil akhirnya sedikit tidak memuaskan untuk mereka. Mereka telah memberikan yang terbaik dan kita tahu itu dan karena itu, mereka pantas mendapatkan kesempatan sekali lagi untuk menunjukkan diri mereka di bawah lampu sorot ISML. Meski Tsukiko tidak dapat menyampaikan perasaannya secara langsung, tidak diragukan bahwa saat ini dia sangat bahagia mendapatkan kesempatan langka ini untuk mendapatkan sebuah Circlet. Akan sangat menarik melihatnya dengan Topaz Circlet di kepalanya, dia pasti cantik sekali. Sebuah Circlet nampaknya adalah aksesoris paling pas untuk seorang putri dan Stella tahu itu. Dan oleh karena itu, dia akan memberikan yang terbaik untuk satu ini. Malam ini, tidak akan ada yang dapat menghentikannya untuk mendapatkan kemenangan total. Kumiko sedang kecewa karena tidak mendapatkan hasil yang baik di turnamen ini. Namun ketika dia mendengar bahwa dia dapat kembali ke panggung, dia menegakkan kepalanya, menyapu air matanya dan pergi berlatih sekali lagi. Ini adalah waktu bagi Reisis V. Felicity Sumeragi, karakter buatan Kobato, untuk bangun dan menaklukkan dunia. Kobato sudah menghabis banyak waktunya tidur dan ini adalah waktu yang tepat untuk menunjukkan kepada dunia sosok seorang ratu yang sebenarnya. Kyōko mungkin saja kehilangan semangatnya untuk bertarung, tapi di dalam hatinya, dia tetap ingin bertarung; bertarung demi impiannya. Dan dia tidak bisa menyia-nyiakan kesempatan ini, karena dia dapat melihat sebuah cahaya harapan di balik panggung Circlet dan itulah sebabnya dia harus menang kali ini. Kurumi perlu mencari tempat yang lebih baik bagi teman-temannya untuk tinggal, mereka sudah menderita cukup lama. Dengan sekop di tangan, Kurumi berjanji untuk menang sehingga teman-temannya tidak perlu bertarung lagi dan menikmati hidup mereka dengan damai. Atas nama cintanya pada pacarnya, Hitagi bersumpah untuk membawa pulang Circlet apapun itu. Dia bilang bahwa memalukan baginya untuk memperlihatkan kelemahannya di depan pacarnya, jadi ini adalah kesempatan untuk membayar semua penghinaan yang dia dapat di pertandingan-pertandingan sebelumnya. Nana tidak datang dari Akita hanya untuk merasakan kekalahan dan kekalahan. Meski kurang percaya diri, Nana berjanji akan menujukkan sisi berani dari dirinya di depan kita semua dan berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk membawa pulang Circlet cantik bagi dirinya Delapan gadis-gadis pemberani ada di atas arena; berbeda sifat dan berbeda tujuan. Namun satu yang pasti: Menang dan Meraih Topaz Circlet. Jadi, keputusannya ada di tanganmu! |

The Sapphire Necklace has been a symbol of pure innocence, purity at its finest. All who has wielded it has been able to have one wish of hers granted. For years, it has been forgotten by the world and was deemed a relic of the past, until one day, it was discovered once more. Soon, a race begun to see whom could obtain the necklace first. Currently, the race has boiled down to seven contestants who have stood out from the rest with their personalities, determination, and other factors that make them worthy candidates should any of them attain the right to claim the necklace for their own. The first two contestants are in search of a miracle to change their worlds: Isla and Kuroyukhime. Isla knows of her inevitable fate and thus wishes to use that wish to allow her to obtain as many memories. Kuroyukihime, on the other hand, wishes to obtain the necklace to repent for the atrocities she had once committed. The next two contestants are rather famous for their large boosts in power: Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui. To each of them, the necklace represents the hope they wish they could possess. Yukino wishes to be friendlier with her peers; Yui, to be more honest with her own feelings and thoughts. Yoshino and Kasugano Sora are no strangers to this as well, and they, too, have wishes that they wish to fulfill. Be it love or bravery, these two will go all-out for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that might never come again. Finally, the final two contestants have been through a lot in this tournament and are natural hard-workers. Introducing Aoyama Nanami & Saber! Aoyama Nanami is a firm believer of the value of hard work in order to fulfil one's goals and, thus, never saw the need or desire of a wish to occur. To her, this wish is merely just a reward for her efforts. For Saber, protecting her master is her key priority. While she has successfully done it alone all this time, a wish to make it easier for her would certainly be a fine reward for all her dedication. Now, it will be up to you, as the voter to decide now whose wish would you make a reality.

The Emerald Necklace shines with a lush green sheen that inspires images of nature and freedom upon first sight. For centuries, kings and queens have held upon this majestic jewelry and have passed it down, generation after generation. Now, it resides in a temple, waiting for its next owner. With such a treasure up for grabs, it's no surprise that many have made it their duty to obtain this necklace. Amongst these potential candidates lie eight outstanding individuals who have clearly surpassed the others in the race to claim this necklace for their own. The first hunter is one of the hardest workers of all - Aoyama Nanami. Her unwavering will has made her a name in the industry. Although she may not have a knack for treasure hunting, her other traits more than cover up her weaknesses. The second and third are an eccentric pair - Shiro and Jibril, who make for an unstoppable force when combined. Shiro is the smarts of the duo, while Jibril is the arms of the team. Together, they make up a powerful team that may be the dark horse of this race. The fourth girl is no slouch either - Tohsaka Rin. Armed with some of the best magic techniques around and her great knowledge of the prizes, Rin is the prime candidate to win it all. The fifth girl is unique in that we have a homunculus in the running - Illyasviel von Einzbern, the master of Berserker. Her goals for her participation are currently unknown, but if one thing is certain, she only has victory in her sights as she advances forward in her conquest. The sixth and seventh contestants have powers and mindsets that are hell-bent on making one's life difficult - Aragaki Ayase and Tokisaki Kurumi. Aragaki Ayase may be seen as a demure girl, but don't let her looks fool you. Anything that she sets her mind to, she will get by any means possible. Kurumi, on the other hand, may seem innocent, but her murderous intent is evident and should be a force to be reckoned with should any of the other candidates encounter her. Finally, our eighth contestant is a surprisingly new face, but may be well-known amongst many - Hikigaya Komachi. While she may seem to be the underdog amongst the eight, her unexpected maturity may be her greatest asset to fight against the seven other candidates. With such prominent candidates eyeing for the necklace, it all comes down to whom will receive the most support and, from there, be given the right to add the necklace to their collections. [[ Show/Hide additional languages ]] 绿宝石项链闪耀着苍翠欲滴的光彩,只一眼便让人联想到自然与自由的影像。几个世纪以来,王和后们持有着这件高贵威严的首饰并将其代代传承。现在,它正于一所圣殿中静候下一任主人。 有这样一件珍宝可以夺取,那么会有诸多把获得此项链列为己任者也就不足为奇了。而在这些可能的人选中又有八个杰出的人在这场为了项链的角逐中卓然而立。 第一位收集者是最勤奋的人之一——青山七海。是她始终如一的信念使她的名字在列,尽管她可能没有足够的追寻宝藏的本领,但瑕不掩瑜,七海还有不少其他特点。 第二位和第三位是个怪人组——为了不可阻挡的力量而联合的白和吉普莉尔。二人中白是头脑,吉普莉尔则是手臂。她们一起构成了个强有力的组合,足以成为这场竞争的黑马。 第四位是个行家里手——远坂凛。以最棒的魔术技艺为武装,加之对奖品绝佳的了解,她使自己成为了能赢得一切的首要候选者。 第五位是个独一无二的女孩,因为我们在这赛跑中还有个人造人。向大家介绍伊莉雅斯菲尔•冯•爱因兹贝伦,Berserker的御主。她参赛的目标我们尚不清楚,但有一件事我们可以确定:在她的征程中,她的眼里只有胜利。 第六和第七位选手有着不顾一切的力量与观念,而使生活变得艰难——新垣绫濑和时崎狂三。新垣绫濑看起来很文静,但千万别被她的外表欺骗,一旦她有得到某物的念头,一定会不择手段。另一方面,时崎狂三,看似单纯无辜,但她凶恶的意图又那么明显,会成为任何与她不期而遇的选手的巨大阻力。 最后,我们的第八位选手出乎意料地是个新面孔,但也可能是众所周知的一个。是的,她就是八幡老师的妹妹——比企谷小町。她可能是八人中最不被看好的,但她那意外的成熟也许正是她挑战其他七位选手的最大优点。 如此杰出的选手们正对绿宝石项链虎视眈眈,而这一切全都归结为谁才能获得最多的支持,并从此被赋予将项链纳入收藏的权利。 |

The Ruby Pendant has always been seen as a symbol of bravery amongst men. Whoever possesses such an item would attain the ultimate courage. For centuries, the pendant has been fought over by warriors, mercenaries, armies, and even nations, committing crimes of bloodshed and trickery. Eventually, it was sealed away for the greater good. This year, however, as it was finally unsealed, there is another battle to see who amongst the men will be the top dog worthy of wielding such a powerful item. Eight candidates have proven themselves as some of the best candidates to be its successor. The first warrior wanted to obtain it to attain his freedom, for the power would serve sufficiently for him to muster up his courage to say the very few words - Kyon, who wishes to be free of a certain leader of his club. The second warrior wished to obtain it in order to maintain peace around this establishment - Takasu Ryuji, who had enough of the noise and tension surrounding such a power. The third warrior was a believer of science, and this pendant could be the potential breakthrough of the century, should he be the victor amongst the eight - Okabe Rintarou, the mad scientist. The fourth one is the defender of the pendant, its first owner after its revival. He wishes to protect this necklace for his own personal reasons - Archer, winner of last year's Ruby Pendant. The fifth musketeer is a conqueror of 2D girls, claiming to have mastered the art of breaking any dating game. The necklace would serve as an upgrade to his conqueror status - Katsuragi Keima. The sixth guy possesses a rather mysterious power that he wishes to protect. Thus, this necklace would serve as sufficient protection to deter any evil forces from claiming his power - Otosaka Yuu. The seventh is ambition-driven, with the main goal of conquering the whole world one day. Such a power in his hands would serve as the trump card to his conquest - Iskandar. Finally, the last card in the deck is someone he fights to achieve his dreams, with hopes that one day, his dreams will come true - Shiota Nagisa, one of the most fearsome assassins around. With eight different warriors, each with varying motivations and traits on the field, it would be a mystery as to who will be the mightiest of all and who will go home empty-handed.

The Diamond Necklace has been the most esteemed out of all the necklaces, with its rarity second to none. For centuries, it had stayed a myth amongst many, with scholars and scribes reading through ancient tomes in vain, despite their best attempts. But, as just as the world was ready to give up on the artifact, a temple suddenly rose into the air and in it carried the lost item- the Diamond Necklace. Those who possessed flight flew up to the air in attempts to grab the necklace for themselves, but, try as they might, they simply couldn't rise to the heights of the temple. It wasn't long before a crystalline path displayed itself and allowed a path to the necklace. Many raced upon the steps, but they would soon be directed to the bottom. It was only the purest of heart, whether good or bad, that could safely enter the temple. Sure enough, eight women all found that they could climb the stairs with ease, and they soon surrounded the necklace. On the top was a colourful duo that went by the names Shiro and Jibril. It had seemed that Jibril was serving Shiro as her master, but could potentially backstab her if Shiro wasn't careful. But, with each attempt Jibril tried to assassinate her master, Shiro would just say the few magical words and all was well again. On the left corner was an orange-haired girl conversing with a plain, brown-haired girl. From the conversation, it could be heard that the orange-haired woman was Asuna; the brown one, Nanami, and they seemed to be happily chatting away. On the right side, however, was a small conflict between a spirit and a homunculus. Apparently, the spirit kept teasing the homunculus, who responded with fits of rage and claims to destroy her once she has her Servant, of which the Spirit just chuckled as she continued her actions. It was just then a cutesy orange-brown haired girl tried to mediate between the two girls. 'Now, now, Kurumi-chan, Illyasviel-chan, stop fighting with each other.'' That girl was Isshiki Iroha, who had seemed nice, but really hid an ulterior motive with her actions. Finally, on the south side was Kurisu, a youth wearing a lab coat of sorts, almost as if she were a scientist. She was busily typing through her phone, running some calculations of the air’s movement and such. Quite an interesting group of eight, one would think..., but as for the Diamond Necklace itself, one ought to be happy with whoever becomes victorious. |
