Toki isn't immune to the Saki drop either. As expected, Tsukiko wins. The long awaited return of Madoka has finally come. Let's see if she can go all the way this time.

[Benigmatica]

The only thing I want is Kuroneko winning this tournament.

OreImo hasn't had a representative winning SaiMoe since their debut in 2011.

[Ichuki]

Personally I want a YuruYuri rep, Watashi, Yoshino, Miborin and Tomoka to win this thing

[iamadooddood]

Always knew Madoka would make it. Toki on the other hand... looks like Saki really gave up.

Or if the admins start trolling us and MadoMagi girls start dropping like flies instead...?

They did decided that Group winners and Repachage group winners will be in separate pots and Group winners will face a repachage winner in first round (Original rule being all 16 girls mixed together, they change it back after a vote).

Looks like this will be fairer, any rigging of votes notwithstanding.

From here on it's a knockout stage. Madoka has a 37.5% chance of meeting another Puella Magi.

Only time will tell how this goes.

[ion475]

Draw is delayed a little to 00:30 JST (In about 10 minutes).

Just some tidbits before the draw...
1. Madoka has 37.5% (3/8) chance of facing another MadoMagi girl first round.
2. While Hanazawa has 3 girls that qualified, they won't face each other in first round since they're all group winners.
3. On the other hand, there is a small chance that Ayase and Sawa will face each other.
4. Other than MadoMagi, though, there won't be any intra-series fight in 1st round since they're either group winners (Oreimo with Ayase and KN) or reparchage winner (YRYR with Akarin and TOSHINO KYOUKO, Henneko with Azuki Azusa and Tsukiko).
5. Yes, Kyouko can fight KYOUKO in Round 1.

So Pink rosettes day today, right before the poppies are worn to remember.

[Aya Reiko]

With Kobato's reveal as Tsukiko's opponent, we now know Miho will face Mami.

With Akari's reveal as Kuroneko's opponent, we now know Azusa will face Watashi.

[Hachiko]

It's payback time!

Odds for each match will be posted on my blog when they start, as usual.

[Ichuki]

Looks like Tomoka and Kyouko are getting a re match. Same with Akarin and Kuroneko, Ayase and Madoka too.

[ion475]

Well well...

1. Both Oreimo got rematches, with Ayase facing off against Madoka again, this time without the split, while Kuroneko fights Akarin again in a repeat of Group G Final. Even if both win, the price for them is to face off against each other.
2. Out of the 3 PMMM girls, 2 got easy matchup (Sawa & Yoshino). The former champ, Mami, face off with the other strong reparchage girl in Nishizumi-dono. Mami (if she win) will more than likely face off against Sayaka also, which means it's not really THAT rosy for PMMM
3. Another rematch in Mokkan v. TOSHINO KYOUKO. Can Kyouko avenge her loss?
4. Other than that, Kobato face off against Tsukiko. Tsukiko lose to Kuroneko in a rather controversial result, can she revenge against a Kuroneko clone?

They just HAD to pit Sayaka against Yoshino. ==

Who's for a Kyouko-Kyouko final here? It'd be the best final ever.

[Aya Reiko]

Final Four Prediction...

Kyouko (PMMM) -- Should be a cakewalk
Madoka -- Kuroneko will be more difficult than Ayase, but I'm going with Madoka here
Watashi -- Kyouko (YY) might give her a fight, but I doubt it
Mami -- Let's face it, it's Sayaka v Mami here. I'm picking Mami, but only just barely

[ion475]

Who's for a Kyouko-Kyouko final here? It'd be the best final ever.

I'm disappointed that TOSHINO KYOUKO draw Mokkan instead of Sakura Kyouko in the Round 1 match anyway...

It's not an easy path for TOSHINO KYOUKO, though, she has to revenge against Mokkan (No guarantee, Mokkan beat her fairly easily last time around), Watashi (Azuki Azusa is not weak, but I still believe in Watashi), then Mami/Sayaka...

For the other Kyouko, while Sawa and Tsukiko (or Kobato, I think Tsukiko is stronger, though) are relatively easy, there's always the chance of running into Madoka in Semi-Final (Yes, I'm picking Lovely My Angel to send Madoka home again, but it'll not be as easy as last time), and Kyouko simply has no chance against the goddess.

Personally, I'm picking Kyouko-Mami final. If Lovely My Angel fall this time around, though, it'll be a repeat of 2011 final (Madoka v. Mami).
