Elimination Match. Shana exacts revenge on Tomoyo for beating her 2 times by over 500 votes eliminating my favorite Clannad character. She earns a rematch against Hinagiku that has a potential to go differently from last time thanks to the OVA maybe. Once again, Shana is my favorite to win. Tomoyo settles for 3rd place.
5th Place Match. Another upset here. Although Tomoyo fell hard, Kyou picks up a win against last year’s champion Fate. Kyou settles for 5th place while Fate is 6th.
Relegation. Since the tournament is almost over, I thought I should give some thoughts to this. With 9 wins, it looks like Louise, Mai, and Mikoto will be in the nominations for ISML 2010 for sure. Reimu, Ayu, and Sayuri are in the running with 6 wins each (the latter 2 had ties meaning less losses). The rest are pretty much out, although Hayate and Misuzu Kamio have 5 wins each.
I think out of these Mikoto has the best chance of actually being in ISML. My guess is that Ayu and Sayuri will be the other two characters to be eligible for nomination unless they lose and Reimu wins. I won’t know who they’re up against until the match gets closer.
Exhibition. It was close, but Misuzu Kusakabe wins. Hopefully the next exhibition matchup will be between characters I know.
Next: Championship match: Shana vs. Hinagiku (last match if Hinagiku wins), Relegation, possible exhibition
