Battle Bladers (Manga)

The manga's version of this tournament opens with battle-royale rounds that whittle 1,000 entrants down to sixteen, run in groups of 125 with two qualifiers advancing from each. From there the bracket moves through single battles: Ginga and Kyoya survive one four-way clash, Reiji and Ryuuga the other, before Ginga beats Reiji and Ryuuga beats Kyoya in the semifinals. Ginga's win over Ryuuga in the final settles who holds the title of Best Blader in Japan.
