Of course, it didn't help that Evangeline had to go up against Natsuki from Mai-HiME (the one that eventually led to Nodoka-chan's defeat) in the second round, while strong girls Asuna and Setsuna were in the same block as Shinku and Suiseiseki (and don't get me started on Fate Testarossa). Luckily, while some steam was indeed out gone for the title, Konoka did follow in Nodoka's path two years later.

Still, a much different Negima team than right now, with only 1 of 26 girls making it to the second prelims with another 20 waiting for their fate.
So true. After last year (when only Evangeline made it into the main tournament), it's apparrent that Negima doesn't have the same "strength" that it did seven years ago.
