70 episodes, 6 shorts, 1 winner

has this been done before? probably. but i made way too many edits to not do this

the showdown will last over a period of roughly 5-7 days - each day dedicated to a new round and me frantically making an edit for each poll. each post will not only include a poll, but also a brief synopsis of the episode to jog everyone's memories. for the first round, it will be posted in two parts (since there are 70 episodes and 6 shorts to get through…).

the only rule for this is to have fun! and don't commit voter fraud. please don't commit voter fraud.

oh, and note: i did attempt to create an image of the bracket but there was just…too many. so you'll just have to trust me on this.

master lists:

round 1 part 1

round 1 part 2

round 2

round 3

our winner is…finale part 4: rise!

this was a fun experience, and not too bad for my first tournament if i do say so myself
