Thanks for all who voted magellan, much appreciated. I didnt have much time to campaign since i work full time now, so most of what i did was through my cell phone during my breaks.
-
-
Really glad my man Fisher Tiger made it!!!
-
Now we only need to get these two to the next round as well.
-
Just recognizes that i will be on a vacation when my man Vasco will have his appearance…well, iam just sad :(
-
… uh no it wasn't fair :sad:
Sure, it was. After all, I don't remember hearing any valid complaints about it.
-
ALl you people who didn't vote for owlfish this round, shame on you D:<
-
owlfish didnt advance. my life has no meaning anymore.
-
Great match, extraordinary for a preliminary round.
It's a shame that Owlfish didn't make it, but on the other hand it pleases me greatly that Jinbe did so well! I honestly thought Clark Dell would wipe the floor with everyone in his group.

Pinfeathers and Gollyfluff!

Definitely some epic campaigning from you Owlfish supporters, I can only imagine what the future rounds will be like if you guys campaign like that for others.
-
I forgot to vote in the round just gone!
But Owlfish is out! AP randomanimal fetish has been defeated! This almost makes up for Chinjao's defeat. Almost.
-
AP randomanimal fetish has been defeated!
Not as long as Hattori still stands.
Please help me oust that bird come the next round. Pretty please?
-
Parrot takes on pigeon.
Pfft, how could we lose?
-
We can't. That's the joke, and that's what makes it so delicious. Hattori always loses in the end.
-
Hattori must dominate, to avenge his fellow half-avian.
-
-
Pigeons aren't even birds. They're just pests on wings :I
-
Shame Owlfish didn't make it, but we campaigned well, and it's the campaigning that makes this fun, no?
Owlfish has Jimbe's back now, at least.
I don't feel the same way about Hattori though. Sorry, suspiciously well-dressed pigeon!
-
Camel will defeat Hattori and every other opponent that stands in her away. For Owlfish she will rise to the top.

@Print:

That's why I campaign for Akainu and Moriah! I'd rather campaign for characters with little chance of winning the whole thing by themselves than for a major character. It's more fun and gratifying when you pull off a win.
-
Hattori isn't a half-avian.
I know. It was poorly phrased. Owlfish is Hattori's fellow, and is half-avian :P
-
Someone post so I can post some Yorki campaigns.
Can't believe he's so far behind! And in the same match as Brook?
ShAMEFULLLL. -
Damn, Owlfish had a good run.

than for a random animal

Muahahahahaha, pedantry successful >:D
-
The first campaign to actually make me laugh out loud.
Haha.
I feel happy I achieved something! -
-
Phew. Seems both Magellan and Jinbei have advanced. Awesome.

Hattori isn't some random animal!:ninja:
He got a dozen or more appearances where the randomanimal is usually less than 5 appearances -
How many prelim rounds are there? How many of the top participants in these prelim rounds will advance to the actual tournament?

There are 14 prelim matches and in each match, only the top 4 of the 15 will advance.

Thanks a bunch.

I have handed my very long list of campaigns to my comrade Smiley. Vote Laboon! I'll be without internet as I transition to Japan

I'll be here too. There's no way Laboon is going down this early. Laboon vs Enel was the most fun I had last year.

We will do your best so that this big little fella advances. -
so far many underdogs have advanced.. this is pretty troublesome.. :p

Arlong is.
Arlong Park isn't. -
I love your character tournament AP and kudos to the mods and everyone who gives a lof of effort into it… But the first time I'm a tiny bit dissapointed cuz Zephyr isn't allowed to be in it
I know that he hasn't appeared in the manga as Shiki in Chapter 0: Strong World and there are debates about if the movie is canon or not (Same for movie 10)... But dunno... This guy is so special in my eyes
For me Zephyr is the champion of hearts this year :cwy
Just wanted to say it…
-
Movie characters aren't canon until shown in the manga. End of story.
-
Great match, extraordinary for a preliminary round.
It's a shame that Owlfish didn't make it, but on the other hand it pleases me greatly that Jinbe did so well! I honestly thought Clark Dell would wipe the floor with everyone in his group.
You mean thank God he didn't make it, don't you? :D

Z truly is a special case. He appeared in a colour spread which, technically, could be considered canon, especially in a case where he's surrounded by young versions of all the marines. And those were their canon appearances for sure. It would also make sense for him to exist in the manga world given his role of mentor for monsters like the three admirals and dozens of other marines. There, too, is the case of the seventh Shichibukai who, according to Oda, is the man that cut off Z's arm. And if he is canon, shouldn't Z be as well?
Yes, I'm aware that Z didn't appear in the manga per se, but those are just some thoughts I'd like to throw out there. -
We are well aware of all this and made the decision to exclude him regardless. If there's a mention of him or a flashback panel showing his face when we get to see the one last Schichibukai we haven't yet met, he's going to be eligible. Colour spreads and random interviews/databooks are not enough for us. We have had some SBS characters in the past, but even those are borderline cases that are judged on an individual basis each year and whose inclusion many do not particularly like.
I think we can all agree that Zephyr's character can be considered to be canon, but since there has not yet been a proper mention of him anywhere that is directly story-related we won't allow him to compete in the tournament. Same goes for other similar cases including Bronze from Roger's crew, and to an extent "Joyboy" from Fishman Island's history.
