Today’s penultimate First Round otaku battle features a good mix of characters.

Watashi may be sweet, but if opponents aren’t careful, they’re liable to succumb to either her sharp knife or her sharp tongue. While an agent of good, Jill Valentine has been a resident of evil for a long time, so there’s no foe or fiend she can overcome. Finally, Warlord Trafalgar Law is as strong a pirate as they come, and he’s not gonna allow anyone to separate him from his goal of being Fan Favorite.
