It's taken a very hot minute but I am glad to finally say here are the results for Tourney 2, Best Naruto OP! My final takeaways from this is that Naruto fans have very good music taste - I feel it was a fight between nostalgia (GO!!!) and taste (AKFG) and taste won out! Both would have been great options - however it is still unforgivable that Stance Punks is last place...
Feel free to comment your own rankings and thoughts here and thanks to everyone who voted and thanks for sticking around when I get incredibly slow at updates dattebayo 🧡
With all matches for the best Bleach OP dropped, it's time for the final round for Naruto's Best OP o(>ω<)o
The final round consists of 4 matches. 2 matches will drop daily, again the upper and lower places balanced but dropping from the least to most important. This mean, the third place match will drop later today and the finals will drop tomorrow. Match-ups indicated below:
You can see the places each OP is competing for under the cut. This round also features this blog first 3-way match in a mainline tournament - this seems the most fair way to determine the lowest ranking OPs and EDs.
Results to come in 8 days! Can't wait to see how it all ends ↻(𓄼 .̀ ̮ .́)Ψ
