Alright everyone, after almost 80 days from start to finish, the tourney is finally finished! We had a lot of amazing characters entered into this, but the top 3 consist of the very best. Cinner officially is third place, earning a bronze medal! He went on a very deep run after a couple disappointing finishes in previous tournaments. Leaf Girl is second and earned a silver medal. I believe this is the farthest a Leo character has gotten in a tournament. leaf Girl's arsenal was extremely hard to deal with for the other tourney-goers.
And of course, our champion and winner of the Gold, Asuna! There's a lot I have to say about her, so let's get started.
First off, I'm a big fan of the magic system Bakuhatsu has going on. It's description on Asuna's profile gives an insight into it, even if you haven't read Bakuhatsu. I'll admit I've read basically no Isekai's but in terms of what all I have seen over the years, it's a pretty unique system, but Asuna in particular has a unique set of general skills. Playback is unique in its function and how exactly it can be applied in battle. Asuna cannot use it offensively, yet it obviously contributes greatly to her arsenal. Turbocharge and Fortune also feel special. I expect to see a whole lot more from Asuna in terms of skills in the future, and I also expect that I'll be a fan of whatever happens! She's got a cool personality and backstory too. I'm excited to see how she develops through her story, what her goals will be, and how she attempts to reach them. The characters around her are also interesting, but knowledge of them is limited
All in all, she's a well deserving winner of the tourney, despite the initial confusions myself and others had about Asuna's true capabilities before and ruing the tourney. You've got a great character with lots of potential here Rayfire, can't wait to see how you handle her. Cheers, everyone
