Spotlights were barreling all over the fighting stage as a drum was rolling.
"Ladies and Gentleman! Today, we're about to start a very special tournament! 32 of the Brave Adventurers' greatest and most skilled Buddyfighters will be competing to see who among them is the best! Bringing the action to you live, I'm Himiko Yumeno!" Himiko said as a spotlight shone on her.
"Providing commentary will be Angie Yonaga!" Angie said as a spotlight shone on her.
"And Tenko Chabashira!" Tenko said as a spotlight shone on her. "A tournament amongst our members. Most of us are all for friendly competition, but I never thought it would be this many!"
"I know! Apparently, Yoko and Mana's match have gotten everyone fired up and try to create decks of their own!" Angie said.
"Because of this, it was hard to get 32 people for our tourney, but we managed to get those spots filled. Here are the competitors!" Himiko said as the spotlights shone on the fighting arena. Standing in rows of 4 were David, Sectonia, Colette, Genis, Sheena, Zelos, Jude, Elize, Vera, Kabuki, Francisca, Ming, Scott, Ramona, Cia, Shuichi, Kaede, Keebo, Tsumugi, Mayumi, Leonora, Rachel, Kurochi, Jesse, Ross, Kokoro, Sachiko, Fulgore, Himeno, Yoko, Mana and Marco.
"This is quite the cast that we've got here. And they'll all be vying for the very top!" Tenko said.
"As this is a 32-person tournament, it will last for 5 rounds. We'll be expecting a lot of big battles ahead!" Himiko said.
"We will inform you of the first match shortly, but I can tell that things are about to get intense!" Tenko said.
