This story has so much great rep! There are characters of color, strong female characters, a physically disabled character who's still at the top of their field, and a developmentally disabled character who refuses a cure. Plus, a powerful genderfluid character (he/she/it) who saves the day multiple times! And did I mention found family? You might find yourself shipping the "parents!"

Political intrigue. Secret romance. Assassination plots. This piece of media has it all, from tragedy to comedy to contemplations of what it truly means to be human, and whether that even matters at all. Gunfights and sword fights are carefully balanced with scathing social commentary in this visually striking piece of media. Strong, well-written female characters with cringefail loser boyfriends who nonetheless love and support their s/o the best way they can. Nonhuman characters who are fully allowed to be nonhuman, with all that entails. Massive conspiracies. Mental health issues and grief representation. POC. Cannon queer characters. Prophecies and visions. Women with guns. And best of all -- in this story, the villains well and truly win. This piece of media really does have it all.

Want a classic hero’s journey with some fun twists? A morally grey protagonist with trauma who loves and respects his wife more than anything? Strong female characters, including a feminist witch, a sexy goddess who take initiative in pursuing the men she loves, girlboss warrior women, and a lady who uses her smarts to ward off misogynist men? Multiple POVs and time jumps? Rivalries, fun sidequests, and cute kids? Then this media is for you!

Anyways I'm guessing 86 as Epic the Musical

The fun of the tournament isn't really what wins and what loses anyway, the way I see it, but the sheer chaos of the guesses and reveals.
