Sho: Right now, we can tell you that Linkin Park is performing "Burn It Down" in front of everybody here, and I can't hear anything you're saying. Just listen to the music!

Spoiler:

Hopefully we'll get your ears fixed Sho, this will be over soon. We'll be back.

Which means, hmm someone do a Toy story joke where they say.( Fake votes, Fake Votes everywhere.)

Here comes the calvary for Toki, we're going to have a bit of a photo finish here. Interestingly enough, Toki is still inside the bus that contained the Saki Party members while Kuro is at her seat. Perhaps something is telling in that? Once again, Toki's rush now has taken place, and we are off to a photo finish, pending the moment of truth in 10 minutes time.

Captain of Toki fans: WE WON'T MAKE IT!

Toki Fans: DO SOMETHING TO INCREASE SPEED! Triple the power.

Cpatain: My car is not red!

I can only hope it's legit and that reinforcements have really arrived. Non-Saki HanaKana faction members to the rescue, perhaps? It seems too good to be true, though. Keep your fingers crossed, Kuro supporters!

We'll see later when the smoke clears and our new champion emerges.

Oh, here comes Toki's rush...

The polls have closed for the final time and Mami Tomoe will be announcing the winner of the 2channel Anime Saimoe Tournament in a few minutes. Everyone, hold your breath, this is news that will either shock the world or shock the world. Your choice, here on 2channel World.

Toki is now heading with the others to her seats, as directed by the event organizers.

My bets on Kuro since her difference is too large to be overtaken in just 5mins.

If the difference can be upset in 5mins, I say, some people sure have god hands.

Hachiko · 2012-11-03, 09:05

Toki has done it! Toki has done it! A nailbiter to the finish! Toki Onjouji is your new Saimoe Prime Minister of Japan, and just look at the crowd in Osaka!

Triple_R · 2012-11-03, 09:06

I honestly hope that Kuro wins.

One reasons is that it's clearly what my Sayaka Bro Coldlight wants.

Secondly, it would be the more surprising ending.

Edit: Well, that hope was dashed pretty fast, lol.

Me(Toki supporter ver.): Hmph, made it in little time ehh... Thats expected of the red bus. Now I can rest in peace. *Gundam shut down, escapes through Core booster*

Congratulations to Toki Onjouji for her victory tonight.

That was a near-miracle rush for Kuro, but in the end it wasn't enough. Toki owns the true Miracle Rush. Looks like it's a Neutral End for me, but honestly it wasn't at all that bad.

As I said before - Kuro, gokurou-sama deshita for making it this far and actually giving Toki a run for her money near the end.

For everyone else, otsukare-sama deshita!
(good work)

Me(Toki Supporter ver.): This history of the Triple Future rush... No one, and I mean, no one will erase that history.

Hachi: Engine-cut!

*Unit explodes due to overload.*

To be honest, I am a Toki fan ja...

Spoiler for FINAL Result:

And there you have it, folks. Toki lives up to the hype, is tested but finally wins out in the final hour to be the next Saimoe Prime Minister and the next 2channel Anime Saimoe Champion. That's wraps it up here in Tokyo. Thanks for following the 2channel Anime Saimoe Tournament Grand Final on 2channel World. We'll see you all...next year. Otsukare-sama! Good night and good morning!

Around 600 votes in a final. How sad Saimoe has become

JW1 · 2012-11-03, 09:22

Kuro got one extraordinary rush there just at the end and came a lot closer to Toki than I thought possible; in fact that rush looks just too vertical to be true. Still, in the end the champion was indeed the champion.

A miserably poor vote total though, for a final. Not even 600 votes? How far has this competition fallen!

A pretty relentless performance by Toki overall. In fact, I think it might be the most relentless I've seen since starting to watch this competition in 2006. Last year we had Madoka domination, but it there was still some uncertainty over which girl would be chosen as the champ; back in 2008 there was some credible competition in the form of Hina and Nagisa to Kagami's seemingly predetermined rise to the top; but this year, there really has been nothing standing in Toki's way. Once Akarin's lack of presence was revealed, it was clear that Toki would stroll to victory.

Anyway, Akari and Toki were my personal favourites for the title, so I'm satisfied with the result. I just wish we could see the competition opened up again.

Edit: correction, it seems there were slightly over 600 votes, still pretty poor!

Hachiko The Akita Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Long Beach, CA	Hear her speak. Let's have a listen. Spoiler: A funny thing happened a while before I came down here. I met Saint Peter several hours ago, and I wanted in but he told me, "Go home, young lady, you've got a lot of work to do before I can get you in." And I asked, "What work?" He said, "Living." So here I am. But that's why I have never felt so good to be alive. To get a second chance to live the life I love is an absolute thrill, and I have never had this much energy since I wasn't diagnosed with the condition that made me sick all of a sudden. But I have been discharged from the hospital several hours ago, and I am here speaking with you all. I want to say that there has never been a more humbling moment in my life, not only humbled by the extent of what has happened tonight. Even if it had been the cliffhanger that we were all expecting because of the voter improprieties, it still would have ended the same. But, you know, to have the support of this great country, I consider the trust you have in me as something important, and I will promise you that I will do all I can to help justify the faith you have in me to lead. Earlier this evening, I spoke on the phone with Yuu Matsumi/Kuro Matsumi/Shana/Hisa Takei. She fought a great race and is someone that I have tons and tons of respect for. Now she pledged her cooperation in the transition that will take place, so I returned my cooperation. I also talked with our current prime minister, the Hon. Mami Tomoe...oh nice. Well, actually, it wasn't the cliffhanger we were expecting, so it all worked out, didn't it? Anyway, as I was saying, both of them were gracious in helping me with this transition to my new role as Saimoe Prime Minister. All across Japan, from Tokyo to Osaka, from Fukuoka to Nara, from Nagano to Kagoshima, there are many people that I owe a lot—A LOT—of thanks to. I want to thank the Saki Party National Committee, those wonderful fans, nerds, geeks and mahjong buffs that made the campaign run; and in every prefecture, city, town and village, to all the volunteers who have helped us get to where we are, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks. To the love of my life, Ryuuka Shimizudani, I love you more than you can imagine and I look forward to a strong partnership with you as my Deputy Saimoe Prime Minister. To my close friends, Izumi Nijou, Hiroko Funakubo and Sera Eguchi, thanks for your companionship and solidarity. We're gone through so many battles as a team, but now, we must work together to get Japan moving again. To the students at Senriyama Girls' High School in Osaka City, thank you for your support and friendship. I will return home soon and I look forward to graduating from my wonderful alma mater at the top of my league. To those who of your whose vote I have not won...I may not have won your vote tonight but I believe that the bonds we share are strong, our voices are shared, and I need your help and support, and I will also be your Saimoe Prime Minister. A good friend of the outgoing head of state, the Goddess, Madoka Kaname, visited me several hours ago. She told me of this news and at first, I didn't know what to say. I remembered telling Ryuuka, "This was only a joke." At the time, I was only kidding when I said that I would get the Saimoe Prime Minister position. I didn't think such a position would exist. But there does exist such a position. And such a position comes a lot of responsibilities as the Saimoe Prime Minister. Even though my role is primarily ceremonial, my duty is to represent this country and be the representative of everything this nation has to offer. As you know, we are home to the finest women in the world, and I happen to be a shining example of the femininity, the pureness that makes Japan special. I am unafraid of what will lie ahead and I don't believe, for a second, that Japan is afraid of what will lie ahead. Everyone, we are going to do what needs to be done together. We're going to get Japan going again by putting more people to work, more people to school, and more people to answering their callings in life. The fighting spirit of the Japanese people is a sight to behold, and we went through so much...several regional conflicts, two global conflicts, recessions, and a transformation from a war-torn state into one of the rising economies of the world. We are among the world's largest and technologically advanced producers of motor vehicles, electronic equipment, machine tools, steel and nonferrous metals, ships, chemicals, textiles and processed foods. And we rose into one of the giants through our fighting spirit and our never-say-die attitude. And it's time for us to move forward, onwards and upwards. When I accepted your nomination for Saimoe Prime Minister...I asked for your prayers at that moment. Now I won't ask for them at this particular moment, but I will say that I would be very happy to have them in the days to come. For in 2013, the world will find out if Tokyo will host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, which will be its first since the success that was the 1964 edition. As your leader, I plan to have mahjong parlors and clubs in every continent and every country, so that even five-year olds in Africa can learn how to riichi. There will be other events that will come this year for Japan, but since my prediction skills in limited to mahjong, I cannot tell you what is to come, only to be ready for these events. So, Japan, it is time to celebrate. Every city, every town, every village, every prefecture has made their decision. Their voice has been known, and I am the one that will lead this country. I plan to lead Japan with the belief that people should have the confidence in themselves to Saimoe now, and often. Thank you, good night and take care of yourselves. God bless you all, and may God bless Japan. -Toki Onjouji 11th Saimoe Prime Minister of Japan National Olympic Stadium Tokyo, Japan November 3, 2012 __________________
