A bracket tournament for spoiler characters

House Greyjoy (A Song Of Ice And Fire) VS the Ushiromiya family (Umineko When They Cry)

House Greyjoy

Members: Balon, Asha, Theon, Aeron, Victarion, Euron

Propaganda:

CW: rape, murder, sexual abuse

"The ruling family of a culture of toxic masculinity. When Theon arrives after 10 years of being a hostage, he hits on his sister Asha, but it's not really his fault, because she wanted to judge his character and if he respects women (he doesn't), so she didn't tell him who she is. Balon expects both of his children including the daughter to perform toxic masculinity and gets mad at Theon for being far away after he himself handed him over as well for buying jewelry instead stealing it from corpses of people he kills because buying is for wimps, which leads to Theon to capturing a castle he cannot hold, commiting some war crimes and then getting tortured, mutilated and drastically abused for a long period of time. Asha meanwhile had to run because her uncle Euron returned after being banished (for seducing or raping, it was unclear, his brother Victarion's wife which led to Victarion "having" to beat her to death to preserve his honor) won king elections against her. He gave her hand to a seal. There's also her uncle Aeron who is a religious fanatic, but also deep inside running away from his childhood trauma consisting of Euron molesting him."

The Ushiromiya family

Members: Kinzo, Krauss, Eva, Rudolf, Rosa, Jessica, George, Battler, Ange, Maria, Natsuhi, Hideyoshi, Asumu, Kyrie

Propaganda:

"PEAK weird family drama. Fighting over the inheritance leads to multiple people dying in gruesome ways" "The whole plot of the game is that they all are so dysfunctional it would make sense for any of them to commit murder" "The Rokkenjima Mass Murders would not have happened to a functional family" "The parents claw at each others' throats for a vast family inheritance, the kids/cousins fool around, and then they all murder each other/get murdered" More propaganda here

How is Mari Maya/Moe Morita (Samurai Flamenco) maligned?

"the protag and his male bestie...are in this canon limbo...so as you can imagine SO much of the fandom discourse is an attempt to prove that they are, in fact, canon...MEANWHILE. THE TRITAGONIST. THIRD MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTER. IS CANONICALLY BISEXUAL. SHE CANONICALLY KISSES HER NOT-GF ON SCREEN IN LIKE EPISODE 3. and people act like the only important Gay Rep Question of samflam is whether or not the main character and his bestie are canon...it feels insane to sit in fandom and see endless debates about masagoto...being canon or not when maya and moe are canonically gay...WHO CARES ABOUT THOSE MEN..." "Not only is Samurai Flamenco criminally underrated and kind of a flop...Mari and Moe are often overshadowed by the big M/M ship in the series among what fans of the show do remain." "The fandom only cares about the mlm ship from the anime and praise it as canon rep even tho Moe and Mari are the ACTUAL canon rep, whereas the guys are not."

How is Misa Amane/Rem (Death Note) maligned?

"i think just the fact of being women in death note is enough to qualify. like misa dedicates her life to light in the worst written way possible and then doesn't even get mentioned in the fucking ending or epilogue of the manga...meanwhile rem comes to love (yes that is the term used) misa enough to DIE for her but not only is the build up to this incredibly bare bones, she literally goes out of her way to explain 'don't worry it's NOT in a gay way' and that is. So funny. thankfully SOMEONE understood the tragic yuri potential when writing the death note musical where rem is explicitly in romantic love with her, so everybody say thank you to them" "#i shipped them in 5th grade adn my ex friend was ilke u cant do that theyre both women and i was like ok and i stopped" "#they are gay one is a hideous death god their love is her undoing and her death #does misa love her back? unclear. that just makes it more compelling. theyre messy theyre weird theyre fucked up they are MY yuri"

Let's end this championship round with a bang. A big explosion, if you will, that will scatter fragments of spoilers all over the surrounding posts. Quick, somebody take these pictures down! We can't let potential fans know these characters exist! They're mysteries, dammit!

Alright, here we go. The ultimate question:

If you want to confirm who you're voting for, the characters' names are listed below the cut. Sort of. What can I say, it's a spoiler-themed tournament.
