Great job by Haruna entering the final day of preliminaries. She beat Astarotte Ygvar by a fair bit more than I thought she would. It's a blowout so you can't take too much away but this might be a hint of a Zombie season 2 boost. Unlike the other Madoka characters, Sayaka looked like her normal, unfrotunately not very strong, self out there. Mami on the other hand continued the trend. Shimada Minami didn't do so well against Naruko so it was an opportunity for Mami to still make the main tournament. However, I think Minimi is the favourite in the final round. Not that either had a shot at Iwasawa but I'm surprised Toshino Kyouko beat Shiina Mayuri. I never expected the match to even be that close let alone Kyouko to win with some room to spare.
