After some time has passed and the audience has gotten situated, the brackets are displayed on screens throughout the Arena. The first round consists of sixteen one-on-one matchups, and is mainly intended to clean out the lesser competitors before what most would consider the REAL Tournament starts. After that initial round, the winners will be divided into eight teams of two, and eight matches will be held with these teams. From that point, the brackets proceed as normal, with one-on-one matches until the final showdown to determine the victor. The audience gathers in the Grand Arena as two pedestals are raised up with the first two combatants. Ciqufrinz comes on over the intercom again.

"Here we have our first matchup! For the sixteen initial rounds, we've decided to spice things up a little bit by theming the competitors based on things they have in common. We're calling this first round 'Keep it Clean'! Our competitors are Billy Super Smash and Deryl! Who will win, Billy's child-friendly fighting with summoned allies, or Deryl's unarmed, unassisted, completely ordinary skills?"

"Hello, sir! Are you ready for a fair fight?" Deryl waves, and attempts to step off of his pedestal to offer Billy a handshake, only to be promptly zapped by a jolt of electricity.

"Please recall the rules of the Tournament. You are not allowed to step off of the pedestal until the horn is blown." Ciqufrinz states over the intercom. Deryl retreats back onto his pedestal, and, after a few seconds, Attota blows the horn, and both Deryl and Billy step onto the sandy ground.

Billy claps his hands together, and then throws out one of his summon items in front of him, causing a large hand to emerge from the ground,, with finger puppets taped onto every finger. Billy then brings out his Stand, Baby Shark, which, though Deryl can't see it, is still able to affect Billy's opponent, and Deryl finds himself stuck loudly singing about the finger family. Deryl is confused by this, but doesn't let it get in the way of him running towards the large hand swaying back and forth in front of Billy. The moment Deryl is in front of the hand, it slaps him, sending him tumbling onto the ground, still singing. Billy walks over to Deryl and starts pushing him to be in the range of the hand again.

"Alright, alright, let's get this over with, there are children watching, we don't want to be TOO violent here." Billy reassures Deryl, before summoning several minions to help move the body faster. Deryl gets an idea, and, on the spot, remixes the finger family song that he's singing to be talking about bananas, which makes the minions stop, instead looking over at the large hand, which has indeed been altered to now have different sized bananas on its fingers to match Deryl's new lyrics. The minions let go of Deryl and assault the hand, allowing Deryl to crab walk away from Billy and get to his feet. He tries to say a witty one-liner, but since he's still stuck singing, he can't do anything other than continue the song. Deryl looks around for anything he could use to gain the upper hand, and then grabs a fistful of sand, before throwing it in Billy's face, causing him to start rubbing his eyes to get the sand out. While Billy is distracted, Deryl runs off, though he can't really hide thanks to the fact that he's still constantly singing about a banana family. He starts gathering more sand from the floor and filling his pockets with it, not finding anything else he could use as a weapon. Soon enough, he finds himself being chased down by a disembodied set of hands with a fidget spinner, and quickly ducks underneath them as he runs back towards Billy, only to be grabbed by the back of his shirt. The hand with the fidget spinner spins it right up against Deryl's head, which doesn't really hurt him but is very annoying. Billy watches from a distance, his eyes red from the earlier sand attack. Deryl grabs hold of the fidget spinner hand and pries it away from his head, before beginning to wrestle with the hand holding on to his shirt. He eventually manages to get it off of him, but it rips off part of his shirt, too. Deryl rushes straight towards Billy, seeing him reaching for more summon items. He tackles the Smash Brother to the ground, holding his arms down so he can't summon anything.

"Idiot, you can't attack a Smash Brother directly! Don't you know this?!" Billy scoffs, throwing Deryl off of him with relative ease. He reaches for his summons again, but Deryl throws another handful of sand in his face. "BLEGH! What are you even trying to accomplish with that? This is a fight to the death, not a fight to the too-annoyed-to-continue!"

Deryl shakes his head, pointing at his mouth to indicate the fact that he's stuck singing and can't respond. Billy sighs, and disables the Stand, gesturing for Deryl to speak.

"Thanks. Beating you up now." Deryl says, before ramming into Billy's gut to knock the wind out of him. Billy grunts and falls backwards, still blinded from the sand. Deryl attempts to snap Billy's neck like he's seen people do in movies, but finds it to not be nearly as easy as he was anticipating, so he quickly looks for an alternate tactic. Billy starts to get up, but Deryl bonks him over the head to knock him down again. Deryl then empties his pockets of sand into Billy's mouth to try and choke him, and this seems to be a much more effective strategy, though Billy resists a fair amount. Deryl sees Billy reaching for his summons again and quickly stomps on his hands before continuing to hold Billy in place so that he can't take any action against the sand in his throat. After some time passes, Billy goes limp, and a sound plays to indicate his confirmed death. The crowd wildly applauds, and Deryl is bathed in light, before being transported to a cozy waiting lounge for winners, with a window overseeing the Grand Arena, a medical area for treating wounds sustained in battle, and even a fridge full of refreshments. Deryl pumps his fist, glad to have taken down the first of his many foes with nothing but his wits.
