>>137012
But you lost several rounds ago Zoro...

I kinda want Piccolo to win because he's the best DB character but also don't want to give /dbs/ a victory to gloat about
I kinda want Kenshiro to win because he's cool and iconic but also don't want to ruin the chance of a potential Guts vs Kenshiro match ever happening

Who the fuck do I vote for aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

>>137015
Betting on potential matchups is retarded.

>>137015
>don't want to ruin the chance of a potential Guts vs Kenshiro match ever happening
I'm not sure there's gonna be another one of these desu.

>>137015
I don’t see Heroes of /a/ becoming a recurring deal, and if a full /a/ tournament happens I don’t see this tournament having an actual effect on the bracket.

Yugi should have summoned Goku the forbidden one to win against Piccolo

5th Guts: 50.75
6th Lupin: 43.5
7th Shinji: 34.5
8th D: 31.25

>>137020
I don't even think there was a Heroes of /co/ or /v/ this year.

>>137019
I don't think it was something worth bringing up at a point the character was actually active.

>>137015
>but also don't want to give /dbs/ a victory to gloat about
Piccolo is basically entirely a Dragon Ball Z character and thus has very little affiliation with /dbs/ - Dragon Ball Super
>but also don't want to ruin the chance of a potential Guts vs Kenshiro match ever happening
We're not sure another /a/ tournament (besides Villains coming up) will happen again anytime soon and even if it does the odds of two characters going up against each other in a bracket of 128 are very slim
In my opinion don't let external factors get in the way and just vote for whichever character your heart wants to win

>>137022
Like how the gap between Lupin and the other two is bigger than the gap between Guts and Lupin.

>>137015
I'm picking Piccolo. He's a good character and as it has been said before, he got this far with his own campaign and without /dbs/posting. People are voting Piccolo for Piccolo, not because of /dbs/. /dbs/ trying to claim his win would be a cope that should be ignored. Even though I'm pushing for Piccolo, I will also tell you you should never vote just for the sake of a particular match. It's not for certain we will get another Heroes of /a/ or Kenshiro will get this far again.

>>137015
vote Kenshiro so he can call /dbs/ Finals jobbers

>>137028
>I will also tell you you should never vote just for the sake of a particular match.
To add on to this, you shouldn't against your character just because you think they might have a better chance a different year. I voted against Bayonetta in Qo/v/ 2021's Sweet 16 because I thought Bayo 3 would give her a bigger boost for the next year. I was wrong.

>>137028
I voted for kenshiro but I honestly wouldn’t mind if piccolo won, they’re both very worthy for this title

>>137015
I'm riding and dying with Piccolo, Kenshiro is cool but I grew up with DB, I like him too much to vote for anyone else.

>>137029
This kek

>Kenshiro
>Yugi
Easy choices for me.

>>137030
>spoiler
Well she did get very close to making it that year.

>>137033
make it yourself even if you have no talent

>>137035
For me it’s
>Kenshiro
>Bobo-bo

>Lupin lost too ealry to be voted 3rd place
>Yugi lost too late to be voted 5th place
Damn.

I'm going with
>Piccolo
>Bobobo
Good luck and have fun gents, let's make it a romp to remember

>>137039
Goku truly is a villain, thank god he never qualified

>>137035
>>137038
For me, it's
>Piccolo
>Bobo-bo

i don't watch anime but for some reason i can tell this is a good kinda out there finale

my votes

>The Doc
>Bob

hear me out
after villains finals, we do a special round where the winner of heroes goes up against the winner of villains

>>137046
We do a tournament with all villain/heroes E8s from /a/, /co/ and /v/

>>137044
Probably because you can recognize both finalists as classics of the medium. Also what are you doing here if you don't watch anime?

>>137046
...and Goku who escaped the Goku room

>>137046
or wait for an /a/ tag tournament where Guts takes down the Villains E8

>>137044
This finale is not out there at all. It could reasonably happen on /a/.

>>137048
Not him but if I had to guess he's probably just observing so he has context when people talk about the tourney in the discussion thread, maybe even looking for anime series to start getting into
Which is fair though obviously if someone isn't into anime/manga at all they shouldn't be voting here, as I suspect the guy who didn't know what moe/isekai was probably was trying to

>>137052
Something with Makkankosappo

>>137052
A follow-up to this perhaps
>>136915
>>136924

After Villains, would you want a /coa/ or T/a/g Team?

>>137046
Also abso-fucking-lutely to this!

>>137058
I was thinking on trading out /cov/ next year for an /a/ pairing, but since that's not happening I'd just lean on an /a/-specific duo tournament.

>>137058
We won't have any tournaments after Villains since it's too close to Ms.
If we could, I say maybe /a/ Tag-Team.

>>137057
I'll try something

>>137046
>>137058
Let's not stretch ourselves too thin here.

>>137063
>JOBku JOBBED to THIS

>>137063
I already support Ash over Goku. You don’t have to convince me.

Seeing how far Yotsuba got, would characters from Boku No Pico do well due to being site culture?

>>137068
anti-hero maybe, not really a villain
more a bad bitch honestly :^)

>>137068
No females will make E8.

>>137074
The coloring is god tier.

>>137074
Damn that’s fucking cool, nice job.

Bobo-bo poster was a huge highlight of the tournament. How the fuck did he get so good at this?

>>137071
This was the better chance for girls to make the E8, and it didn't happen. I do think that a large part of that was bad bracket luck, but even then you'd think even one would have done it.

>>137079
Konata vs Yotsuba fucked it (along with me) up. If only they were in different parts of the bracket. Honestly it felt too Semifinal-ish to me.

>>137079
>Madoka against Joestar R1
>Usagi against Yugi (a semifinalist) R2
lol yeah brackets fucked them.

>>137081
That was the worst example, but you could go further. Another bad example was Madoka vs. Joseph right off the bat. The former could have likely had a better shot with a more favorable start. I do think Yotsuba would have made it if they got paired against someone else in Round 4, but in general the girls mostly had especially poor luck.

Oh yeah, who all was on the same eighth of the bracket as Kenshiro? Yotsuba, Mako, Konata, Megumin, Aisha Clan, Diane, and Madoka. Not all of those were built equal, but it's fair to say that several of these were still worth serious evaluation.

>>137083
Also Stocking, who was in a really good spot until she faced a future E8

>>137074
Kino

>>137085
That top bracket with Piccolo and Lupin was stacked. Stocking and Jotaro were gone too soon.

>>137072
I forgot that the anime ends on a gag cliffhanger. Unfortunately a fitting end for Bobobo. He was my second choice for winner after Piccolo and I hope he gets third at least.

>>137081
Yeah, that match on actual /a/ would have been a big deal.

This is perhaps the best fucking elite 8 I've seen in years.


And it's going to be wasted in a one-time tournament that isn't even going to be relevant to the actual main tournament if it ever happens....

>>137091
Yeah, this E8 really shows that Heroes/Villains of /v/ and /co/ felt more like "underdog" tournaments rather than a definitive ranking of heroes and villains. I'm not saying they were bad, though.

>>137091
>>137093
And you know damn well the actual /a/ tournament is going to be dogshit compared to this

>>137094
yeah it might actually have Goku in it

I'm honestly undecided. I don't know who to vote for.

>>137097
Nope, it's literally called that
https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Orange_Piccolo
Piccolo el Anaranjado

>>137097
>I have powers, Political Powers

>>137096
Same. I've been voting for Piccolo and Kenshiro all through the tournament but now I don't know who would be the best to end this tourney

>>137100
>>137096
Keep in mind this is just a one-time thingy that won't even affect the actual main tournaments. Look at how well Hank did despite his victory in /co/. I'd go for Piccolo because he will never get a chance like this in an /a/ tournament with so much /dbs/ autism over Goku, Vegeta and possibly Gohan, Jiren or Broly.

>>137058
No it should be /acoaantvv/

>>137086
Kek

>>137106
Based Shinjibro. I'm sure he would do better in /a/.

>>137093
See, the difference is that /co/ and /v/ have main tournaments, meaning people will be more interested in lesser characters in the small side tourneys. /a/ doesn't have that, so people are gonna want to see the heavy hitters in something like this since it's their only chance.

>>137113
One tournament ends, the next begins.

I can't wait for villains of /a/ so I can use that muzan monologue.

>>137117
>>137119
Two Shinji?

Shinji is the first time I thought doomposting was actually funny, because he had Misato to try and cheer him up and it's absolutely something actual Shinji would do

This would have gotten more hype if it was a Tag-team /a/ tournament tbh.

>>137122
I wouldn’t want a team tourney before a singles tourney at least.

>>137122
No, it would have been about the same.

Kenshiro, use Muso Tensei and show doctor cool shrimp Yotsuba found

>>137110
This is why I think Heroes/Villains of /a/ being reoccurring is the better idea in case proper /a/ tournaments will never happen.

my votes

>Kenshiro
Classic and iconic character, I've talked about this long enough. Piccolo is a fucking meme.
>Yugi
He's an actual character, but I like him too.

But like I said since round 1, literally none of this matters btw.

>>137015
If your sole supposed flaw in a character is you aren't going to get a "duck battle" that would underwelm then they are clearly the winner

I've been greentexting as Piccolo through the tournament and want him to win but man, I also want Kenshiro to win. Each time I reach finals I feel bad because I think I failed the other character I like of they lose.
I don't have a lot to offer right now but here's a clip of the funny french dub of Hokuto No Ken
Ken le survivant doublage culte episode 59

Unfortunately the original two videos detailing with subtitles the crappy lines in this dub got taken down by Toei

>>137133
ROSHI STOP DRINKING THAT THATS MISATO!!!!!!!!

>>137138
Unlikely. Unless he's very vocal and he has to compete against Frieza, Buu, Cell and Vegeta now

>>137138
He has to compete with Frieza, Cell, Buu, Vegeta AND Zamasu for a spot, so I doubt it.

>>137142
*Frieza, Broly, and Broly

>>137142
Watch neither get in and it ends up being Monster carrot, Babidi, and paragus

>>137148
BEAST

>>137151
Imagine if he doesn't even qualify

>>137142
I'd kind of like to nominate Beerus but he'd be a blatant coompick for me, so I won't

>>137142
I'm voting for Gas

This is a pretty quiet round all thinga considered

>>137158
Some of us are working on OC, calm your sedatephobia.

>>137158
There are only two characters still running so...

>>137164
You’ve been doing my favorite oc this tourney.

>>137165
Thanks dude. I went into heroes knowing what I wanted to do for Kenshiro, but I don't really have a main for Villains. Maybe I'll just make stuff for whatever matchup I find interesting.

Will /a/ Villains be more chaotic than /v/ and /co/? By the looks of it, the whole thing seems like it's gonna be wild.

>>137170
>dingaling

The final hour.

>>137177
The fucking goat

>>137183
Dragon Ball in general got bulkier designs from Saiyan saga forwards, I don't think it's his design in particular that changed.

>>137183
The round, heavy eyes design like pic related is Piccolo's best look in my opinion. The more squared-off eyes of post-Freeza Z designs fits the Saiyans much more.

>>137184
Yeah, like I said, it was probably another editorial push to make the manga look more "mature".

Piccolo vs Android 17 - epic brawl (Japanese)
This fight is so underrated, I love it

>>137190
Piccolo might not be the strongest, but he always pulls his weight and gets some of the coolest moments. This is from the non-canon movies, but I still always found this scene badass for another underrated Piccolo moment. DBZ - Piccolo VS Coolers Aurmored Squadron

>>137194
I need to see more of the movies just for the ridiculous scenarios and powers they have
I hope Dragon Ball heroes gets a blu-ray release, that has WILD shit in it

>>137195
Can't wait for Piccolo to defeat Goku and Beijita.

>>137202
kek

>>137201
As a Piccolo supporter, I won't be surprised if Kenshiro takes it. This seems like a pretty even match.

A NEW LEGEND IS ABOUT TO BE BORN...
- The End of Heroes of /a/ -

THIS IS IT

Thank you for your participation in this tourney. Finals results will be revealed shortly.

>>137210
You are welcome

Which loss hurt you the most?

>>137214
Don Patch

>>137209
This was a based idea from the SiIvaGunner team, even if I don't recall him leaving that much of a mark with his actual music in the tournament.

>>137214
>Konata
>Edward Elric
>Bobo-Bo

>>137214
Goku

>>137214

>>137210
Thank you for hosting it.

>>137214
The Jojo characters

>>137214
I didn't take much super seriously but I wish I could've gotten Takumi further.

>>137214
Honestly astroboy, really surprised lain took him out earlier but had he fought a more obscure character he might have gone far

>>137214
Tien

>>137214
All the 1st round losses

>>137214
Kuwabara

>>137214
None off the top of my head.
>>137218
Yeah, kind of. Though, it was more surprising than sad.

>>137214
Vegeta

>>137232
THE HEART OF THE CARDS

>>137232
Heh, Bobobo was great but with Yugi's popularity I'm not surprised. At least it wasn't a stomp.

>>137225
Thanks Doc.

>>137236
It’s definitely in character for him to be celebrating fourth place

>>137232
Not my pick, but understand why he won out here.

Honestly I was kinda hoping Yugi would win and redeem himself completely here

>>137242
Why are they hating on Piccolo?

>>137242
Link?

>>137243
Couldn't stop the rape

僕らは共に旅立つ
でもやはりそれは別れなんだ
地球へ戻ってこれるかもしれない
先の事は誰にも分からない

誰も責めやしないさ
僕らが地上を離れる事を
物事は移り行くものだから

これが最後のカウントダウン
最終カウントダウン

>>137242
Is it the /dbs/ thread?

>>137242
That reminds me, is anyone gonna make a stealth thread on /a/?
