Rules:

- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions you are not doing this, your vote may be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isn’t up by then.
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

hi hello yes I return

Soar
QuelI->EX[cez]->{kranz};
World Revolution

Good first match. I'd probably have easily taken the Yakuza song if it had only been just one part of the song.

It's weird, I generally like Emil Karma a decent amount but I've just been consistently underwhelmed by it since the start of this contest. I guess it doesn't help that it's drawing competition like this though. I don't know if I'd have ever picked it here, even without being down on it.

World Revolution is far from my favourite CT battle theme (it might actually be my least favourite even), but it proved to be unexpectedly solid competition in the master's match.
