it's called having dreams

It's got a pretty good mix of children's educational content and gay yearning, not much more I could ask for in my cartoons. 😌

yeah, the kind of game that the term is actually supposed to refer to would be like

final update: found out the first place winner was someone i knocked into loser’s during pools. meaning both of us lost exactly one game. funny how that works!!!

getting so jokerfied that i might enter a netplay bracket just to know peace

i made it out my pool on winner's side and lost one match in top 24 so i'm out.
the person who beat me came from the loser's bracket.
i hate beyblade tournaments so goddamn much.

like sure i made it out on winner's side but *still*

Also, the pools are double elim (two people out, one in winners and one in losers) but the final stage (top 24) is a single elim bracket.
every new tournament is one step forward and two steps back...

I don't know how much of either Bunshun's story or Toei's story is true, if any of it is at all, but a fun note for the latter case is that Imamori is currently four months away from the legal drinking age. If Toei's telling the truth, damn, they couldn't let her rock when she's going through it?
