MATCH #16: 11. SHINOBU OSHINO VS. 22. LIRU
After Lum beat Marin and made cosplay lovers every cry, we finally arrive at the final match of Round One. Today, a vampire loli faces a brown, fluffy tailed werewolf, a classic face-off fitting for the an epic end to the first round of the tournament.
Thank you Kvit for the description of Shinobu PoastOak for the pic!
** 11. Shinobu Oshino / Monogatari **
Monogatori is a modern classic. It is such a classic that it makes you wonder why it only has one represenative in the entire tournament. From the memes to the songs to the story, Monogatari has it all. Shinobu, the sole representative from the series, has great power too, being a classic loli and engaging personality that will get all the far right lolicons crawling out of the Varis Hangout woodworks. If you don't like loli, she even has an alternative ara form if she gains enough power.
From the proprietor of the Vampire Maid Cafe, kvit:
"A blood chilling vampiric beauty Kiss-Shot-Acerola-Orion-Heart-Under-Blade (Oshino Shinobu) is easily one of the best characters in anime. From a lonely monster who attempted to die for another person’s sake, to a woman who learns to love life through her relationship with that person. Much of her character is spent in playful conversation with her master letting a barrage of quips, quirks, and cuteness build up in their classic back and forth. She jokes with her master and drags him along on fun (if occasionally ridiculous) adventures. Yet behind all of that is a deeply beautiful character who wishes to escape the fate of a monster living eternally as a pariah. One who comes to embrace life alongside her master, developing an irreplaceable bond between the two."
Our final girl, Liru the Werewolf inhabits a unique and precarious position. She may have won her Royal Rumble from fluffy tail fanatics, but she is more known for her doiujin game nowadays than for her anime, however cultish a classic it may be. She also lacks much fan art and merch that's not outright ero. With no extra girl to take votes from her opponent, and Raphtalia, Senko, and Holo already moving to Round Two, Liru will have a harder time against Shinobu. But, as we have seen before, stranger things have happened.
From the Royal Rumble:
"FOREVER EVER! Liru the werewolf journeys with three other baka monster girls as the travel to fight supposed oni's across Japan. She flaunts her wild and free spirit and
Most of you perhaps know her from Seisemic's doujin eroge, Wolf Girl With You, famous for Seisemic overcoming massive challenges to bring a deliciously vanilla game of you being lovey-dovey with this deliciously brown werewolf. This in itself spawn meme magic that brought down Gawker Media in that commie rag's worst defeat at the hand of the Hulkinator.
Liru is not the sole fluffy tail or canine representative in the tourney, and not necessarily the favorite, but she is the most unique of the bunch with a cult following, a unique meta story, and hopes to achieve victory."
