The most voted match was Round 3, Match 1: Hero's Comeback vs Blue Bird with 129 votes. The second highest was Round 3, Match 4: Silhouette vs Blood Circulator with 96 votes. The final match had 83 votes.

It comes with no surprises to me to crown Ikimonogakari's Blue Bird as the best Naruto Shippuden OP! So many bangers in the Naruto Shippuden discog and in my mind there were a lot of brutal match ups - however the voting did show some clear faves over others so maybe my nostalgia blurred my judgements. But for example, I do think Closer would have ranked higher if it hadn't been surrounded by such tough competition? Same with distance - that song had to tap out too early (╥_╥) My big takeaway from this is I should have ranked all OPs. At the time I thought it was too much work but after doing One Piece, it actually helps a lot either rank all of them, or only the winners. With that said, F-Tier tourney when; are there any tracks that deserve redemption; and most importantly, Naruto vs Naruto Shippuden OP tourney when?

Thanks so much for voting and following again, love you all 🫶

ps - this gif is crazy to me but also me giving you flowers for participating

This is a semi-final match. The winner of this match will advance to the final. However in the case that Diver loses, in order to determine exact rankings of Shippuden OPs, as Diver automatically passed through Round 3, it will move back a round to earn its to earn that pass through, and in this case generating a match against Hero's Comeback that it must beat in order to keep its rank
