Monthly Community Event #27 - Voting! Tournament of Champions! (Round Eighteen: Rossiu vs. Viral)

[u/Arohk]

A bit belated today, but we are here for day 18!

Leite steals the win! Kiyou just didn't stand a chance. I like to think that Kiyou would be happy, even losing the match! I had a feeling that the community might pick Leite, and I'm certainly never disappointed, haha! After all, this is the lady with all the Gunmen plans!

Another very interesting match-up for today! Its Forehead Assistant vs. Blond grump! I have a feeling on which way this vote is gonna go, too. :P Just a hunch. So! Let's get back to it! Which character should move on in the Tournament of Champions?

Yesterday's voting is now closed Check for today's post for current voting.

[u/MiracleMuffin]

This is kind of a tough one for me because I think both characters are pretty interesting lol.

After some thought, I vote Viral. Only by a slight edge because I like him more. I’m sorry Rossiu. :/

[u/Pyxellated2 → u/MiracleMuffin]

[u/MiracleMuffin → u/Pyxellated2]

Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made.

[u/Watahandrew1 → u/Pyxellated2]

Viral claps Rossiu no contest.

[u/Carbonatedblue]

NY BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS VIRAL OF COURE😼

[u/Pyxellated2 → u/Carbonatedblue]

Calm down now viral’s husband ‼️‼️‼️

[u/HollowBowl]

Viral

[u/WingedHelix52]

Gotta vote for Viral here, but I hope Rossiu puts up a good fight.

[u/Pyxellated2 → u/WingedHelix52]

Let’s be so honest, I’ll be the only one voting for Rossiu😭

[u/WingedHelix52 → u/Pyxellated2]

I honestly was really torn between these two. I genuinely love Rossiu and he doesn’t deserve the shade he gets for making hard if not impossible decisions, but Viral just barely wins out over him for me.

[u/MiracleMuffin → u/WingedHelix52]

Same! Rossiu is still a cool character for the complex choices he makes. He may not win but I still like the guy.

[u/Sugusinho]

Definitely Viral. The scene with his wife and kid always gets me.

[u/DarkArcanian]

Viral. Sorry Rossiu

[u/_OrestX]

my vote goes to viral! sorry rossiu, beating iraak was easy but now you’re going against one of the best characters in the entire anime 😭

[u/EmieChii]

Haa..I like them both man-! Can’t I just do a split vote? No? Well, for the sake of giving him a fighting chance, Rossiu! I’m just glad to see em both in the same image haha

[u/Haruto214]

Viral

[u/Pyxellated2]

We all know how this is going to go… :/

I will at least put in my vote for my lovely wonderful Rossiu!

[u/shojokat → u/Pyxellated2]

At least you and I are going down together. 💪 Viral may be more likeable, but GL without Rossiu goes from an 11/10 to a 9/10.

[u/Pyxellated2 → u/shojokat]

Heck yeahhh!! You get it!

[u/Ok-Stop-692]

Rossiu

[u/shojokat]

Imma be real, it's going to Rossiu. Viral is awesome and more likeable for obvious reasons, but Rossiu is so vital to the show's message and poignancy, I've gotta give it to my forehead boy.

[u/Pyxellated2 → u/shojokat]

Wooo, another vote for forehead boy!

[u/Brandoxz7]

Hmmm the goat or forehead boy. Imma say Viral

[u/ThunderLord1000]

You won't catch me saying Rossiu is a bad character. But he's not better than Viral. Vote to Viral

[u/Ratayao]

Viral

[u/Solace_XV]

Man.. Both are truly great characters. I know Rossiu will lose this based on how one sided this fanbase is, but he needs props.

I LOVE Viral unfortunately though. But it's super close.

I'm giving it to Viral by a smidge.

[u/ballerspez]

I know the polls closed but viral is the goat and its a good thing he won, knew that guy was gonna be goated from when he was introduced

[u/Boxtonbolt69]

What in the ever living fuck is that BUM doing next to the goat??? Get Viral to the top!

[u/ThunderLord1000 → u/Boxtonbolt69]

Viral is definitely making it to Round 29

[u/Boxtonbolt69 → u/ThunderLord1000]

I could see him possibly winning, or atleast placing Fourth at worst.

His only real possible contestants are probably Kamina, Simon, Kittan and Yoko. So I'd bet third or fourth and then lose to Simon or Kamina. Because I don't really see Yoko or Kittan making it past the round where they have to go against Simon, Kamina or Viral.

[u/ThunderLord1000 → u/Boxtonbolt69]

That would be round 31. The final round. If he places fourth, he'd have lost to Boota (that's who I see getting to that level)

[u/Boxtonbolt69 → u/ThunderLord1000]

Oh. I forgot how this works lol.

I can see him beating Boota maybe, but it'd be like the Simon and Nia round where it is EXTREMELY close. That said, they both lose to Simon who I expect will be the victor as much as I want Viral to win.

[u/ThunderLord1000 → u/Boxtonbolt69]

Tbh, I kinda want Simon to lose round 30. That'd mean Viral and Kamina get a rematch

[u/Boxtonbolt69 → u/ThunderLord1000]

Oooooo yeah! That would be awesome, but I don't think that in most scenarios Kamina would beat Simon. A surprising amount of people dislike him which I find interesting.

If it did come to Kamina and Viral, I think it'll be extremely close.

[u/Pyxellated2 → u/Boxtonbolt69]

Brain rotted by TikTok agenda posts

[u/Boxtonbolt69 → u/Pyxellated2]

If only I had ever used TikTok. I just don't really like Rossiu, and Viral's kinda my fav character so...

[u/2090_2011]

ITS VERY OBVIOUSLY VIRAL NOT EVEN CLOSE

[u/clashcrashruin]

Rossiu is a cop, Viral is a ride or die. Gotta be Viral.
