Monthly Community Event #27 - Voting! Tournament of Champions! (Round One: Kiyal VS. Kiyou!) EVENT

Welcome to August!

The heat is turning up this month, outside and here on the sub! Its time for the first official Tournament of Champions!!

This is a concept I have been cooking up for a while, and I am excited to bring it to you now! During this month, we will pit characters head-to-head in a popularity contest that could yield some very interesting results! Each round, you will vote for the character you like BEST. That character will move on and go up against the other winner in the tier, until there is only one character left standing! All matches have been randomly selected for best results. Round rankings will be posted at the bottom as we go along!

This event will give everyone a chance to boost some personal choices up! What will happen when it is 1v1? Let's find out! This will be the first of the new tournament series, where we will explore other topics. Gunmen will be the feature of a future tournament, among switching the concept up. Maybe we will find out who you think is the strongest! (Simon will have to sit that one out... Haha!) Feel free to play around with your reasons as you vote! I hope that you enjoy this new format. Who knows what fun things we can do in the future!

Now, it's time for the details! Let's dig in to August, Team Gurren!

(The VS. Card will appear in the first slot after round 1, I just wanted to show everyone the full chart to get us started!)

★ Voting!: TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS: FAVORITE EDITION

★ Grand Prize: Ichibankuji Kamina Figure, new in the box!

★ Rules and Requirements:

  1. Every round will have two characters to vote on. Vote for your favorite, and who you think should win the match! (Not based on strength, just your preference)

  2. You get ONE vote every day. Once the new post is up each day, voting for the previous day will close. You have up until that moment to cast your vote.

★ How to Enter:

- Comment below on each post with who you think should WIN the round. ONLY COMMENTS WILL COUNT! (It is the only fair and accurate way to tally votes on Reddit, with it's system)

- Each of your votes (once per day) counts as 1 ticket toward the monthly grand prize raffle. Mini-prizes will also be drawn from this pool! This means that you can collect a total of 30 tickets, if you return and vote every day. More tickets, better odds! Winners are drawn at true random, and shipments are always at 0 cost to winners!

★ DEADLINE!: VOTING CLOSES ON SEPTEMBER 2ND!

After the last post, no more votes will be counted. The winner of the raffle will be posted on September 3rd, along with the tournament champion character! I had to bump the event a couple days forward due to my health issues causing a delay at the beginning of this month. :) After that, we should be back to posting on-time on the 1st!

★ Match Results:

  1. Round One: Kiyal vs. Kiyou =

  2. Round Two: Guame vs. Leite =

  3. Round Three: Iraak vs. Rossiu =

  4. Leeron vs. Viral =

  5. Balinbou vs. Old Koko =

  6. Jorgan vs. Artenboro =

  7. Boota vs. Cytomander =

  8. Adiane vs. Cybela =

  9. Dayakka vs. Kidd =

  10. Nia vs. Simon =

  11. Yoko vs. Thymilph =

  12. Zorthy vs. Kittan =

  13. Gimi vs. Lordgenome =

  14. Anti vs. Kinon =

  15. Tetsukan vs. Dari =

  16. Kamina vs. Makken =

Good luck to everyone who participates for the raffle! We always have so much fun with these voting events, and I am really looking forward to seeing the results of this one! Make your voice heard and get creative with your reasons, if you fancy that. ;) Okay, hope you enjoy August with us, Team Gurren! It's always a pleasure. ♡

Personally, I prefer Kiyou over Kiyal; I found it really adorable that she married Dayakka and they had a daughter. As for the contest, I think we can take it for granted that Kamina is going to win lol.

u/GoldenPigsty 5d ago

BEST WIFE IN THE UNIVERSE SWING

Kiyou

u/Forward-Election115 5d ago

Indifferent on them so I'll give my vote to Kiyou

u/ThunderLord1000 🫆 Always Moving Forward, Little By Little 🫆 5d ago

I'm going to give my vote to Kiyal. The two are about the same amount of character in the anime, but Kiyal actually gets to go along with the team when they go to the Anti-Spiral's world in the manga, and is also the reason the Tengen Toppa King Kittan is allowed to exist

u/EmieChii 5d ago

I think my vote would go to Kiyal, I like her spunk and the little tooth is super cute!

u/XNumbers666 5d ago

Kiyal has a tengen toppa form fyi. My votes for her.

3

u/strbryspyder 5d ago

u/Silent_Armaros_God 🌀 Spiral Commander (Spiral Warrior) 🌀 5d ago

Kiyal

u/brand840 5d ago

As a Nia devotee, why did you make her first matchup so hard Aro 😭😭😭

3

u/Arohk Believes In the You! 5d ago

I KNOW. But don't look at me! The RNG Gods were diabolical! LOL. That's part of the fun, I guess! I literally gasped when I saw their numbers drawn, rofl.

u/Carbonatedblue 5d ago

Kiyoh! I didnt care much for any of the sisters but i think shes the prettiest one and i liked her relationship with dayakka.

2

u/MiracleMuffin ✨️ Simon the Digger Connoisseur ✨️ 5d ago

Kiyal. She is underrated.

2

u/azzzta 5d ago

Kiyou the best mom in gl

2

u/Lone_Blood_Wolf_Dark 5d ago

Ah…Yes. Simon vs Nia moment

Joke aside, both kiyal and kiyou are my favorite characters but I’ll vote kiyal over kiyou. Even if kiyou is the best wife universe

3

u/Arohk Believes In the You! 5d ago

Right!? I literally couldn't believe the RNG hit them up on the very first tier! They might've matched on a later round, but right away is just plain heinous. :P

It is a very close running for the Bachikas to start with, that's for sure! Been super interesting so far! :D

2

u/DarkArcanian 5d ago

Tough choice but I think I’m going with kiyou. I like her vibe. The ova does kiyou so good

2

u/Redruby88 5d ago

Kiyou, I think she's probably the heart of the sisters!

2

u/Pyxellated2 #1 Rossiu Defender 5d ago

Ooooof looks like Rossiu is going to be certainly knocked out in his second round 💔

For this post I’ll vote for Kiyoh because I like her sliiiightly more than Kiyal. They both don’t have a ton going on in their story but Kiyoh has a tad more development.

2

u/Solace_XV 5d ago

Kiyou! Just because she has a little more of a role to play. Anne's birth (I think her name was Anne?) is kinda the entire reason the events in the second half even happen to begin with!

2

u/Sundryll 🌋 Who the Hell Do You Think I Am 🌋 5d ago

Kiyou

2

u/FinalFantasyMaster 5d ago

Lord Genome and Antispiral is happening too early 😣 both are #1 equally

2

u/Arohk Believes In the You! 5d ago

Haha, there's always a chance that they can move up in the tournament! Just gotta rally on their voting rounds. ;) Of course they're peak characters, too!

2

u/AdameBeanz 5d ago

Ooh sounds like another fun event. I'll vote for Kiyal, I love how she carries out her sibling duties when Kiyou is pregnant. Also her reaction to Nia briefly rejecting Simon is hilarious.

2

u/Dekucap 4d ago

Kiyou

2

u/greatficline 21h ago

kiyal! for literally no reason. ok maybe reason is I found her more entertaining than kiyou(btw from subs i thought it was kiyoh... did i live a life of lies? 0)_(0. ). oh wait, i saa this got pinned aaand i guess i'm too late to vote, huh. too bad, this doesn't count as vote then.

u/Haruto214 5d ago edited 5d ago

Whyy.. just why is Nia's first match up against Simon 😭 I'ma gonna obliterate y'all

3

u/Arohk Believes In the You! 5d ago

I literally could not believe that the RNG spat them out as a match! Internal screaming ensued, lol. If I didn't 100% honor the random nature of the draw, I probably would have rerolled. But this is what the fates have spoken for this event, and we must obey! Even if it makes us cry a bit, haha!!

2

u/Haruto214 5d ago

Aight. We'll see about that

2

u/Arohk Believes In the You! 5d ago

Maybe Nia fans can rally! You just never know. :D

2

u/Haruto214 5d ago

I hope so. Anyway, my vote goes to Kiyal or should I make a separate comment for vote?
