I wanna hear you count each one and don't go down until you give me a goddamn good reason for why you want to be a shinobi.

Candidate's Name: Shimiko
Detail: Best Quote: "Simon...I dare you to kiss the girl that you think is the prettiest~" - Shimiko Chinoike
Reason: As I mentioned before, this was a very meaningful moment for the Thundercats which created a massive rift between the girls. The actions that followed this quote caused such a disaster. If this quote wasn't spoken I feel the TCs would still be a thing today.

Candidate's Name: Lei
Detail: Riskiest Topic: Eastern Gates
Reason: This man took on all of Kirigakure with only half of his chakra reserves. It was an impressive suicide attempt.

Candidate's Name: Shinosky
Detail: Best Topic Title:  That Zurui Killing Jive
Reason: It was really just a great meme. The fact that Shinosky didn't even know Zurui IRL made it rich.

Candidate's Name: Akihiro
Detail: Wittiest Verbal Comeback:  "A black ops officer isn't good when he or she knows not to trust anybody. I mean, your average bird does that- Distrust everybody, run from everyone, keep everyone at bay. And if anyone tries to approach, they run or divert their trajectory. That's easy.

But the finest intelligence officers... the ones who excel at their jobs. They do so not because they don't trust anyone...but because they know exactly who they can trust."
Reason: Akihiro always spits bars when breaking something down logically. This was Akihiro's way of telling Shimiko to step tf off with the cagey bs comparing Shimiko's reaction to that of a wild animal'

Candidate's Name: Alkaid Kaguya
Detail: Most Intense Fight: Meeting of Future In Laws
Reason: Another incident of real ninjuh shit. This was the site's first assassination attempt and success. Despite the conflict that followed, in the end a Chuunin from Kirigakure assassinated the Hokage at the time which still breeds conflict to this day between the two villages.

Candidate's Name: Forcoy Uchiha
Detail: Most Interesting Character : Forcoy Uchiha
Reason: As I mentioned he seemed to have had big plans for Konoha, the first one being to replace Tats from power. He was hard-willed and did not hesitate in his actions.

Candidate's Name: Natsuru Senou
Detail: Most Attractive Character: Natsuru Senou
Reason: This was a really tough decision to make, but overall I had to vote for Natsuru. The entire personality and appearance of her just made sense. It was perhaps the realest female of Gladius I knew of.

Candidate's Name: Sakata
Detail: Friendliest Character: Sakata
Reason: Despite the OOC impression, Sakata/Simon was very friendly and generous ICly. He was present to help Kumo's youth through the pre-TS, sociable, and a rational thinker.

Candidate's Name: Natsuru Senou
Detail: Meanest Character: Natsuru Senou
Reason: I designed her to be incredibly rude and hard to get to know. It's no doubt she behaved as such. She frequently fought with her friends and had a short temper.

Candidate's Name: Sakata, Shimiko
Detail: Best Couple: Sakata, Shimiko
Reason: One of the realest couples on the site. They frequently went on dates and spent  time with each other as they should. It was not just something for a title.

Candidate's Name: Tatsu
Detail: Most Generous Kage: Tatsu
Reason: Certainly very lax. She treats exclusives like candy and artifacts like candy wrappers.

Candidate's Name: Toonami and Konami
Detail: Most Ruthless Kage: Toonami and Konami
Reason: This was an actual case of a Kage framing its own Genin to promote their own agenda. A Genin with no ties to their plot was cast out of the village and made into an enemy. That was heartless.

Candidate's Name: Akihiro
Detail: Potential Kage: Akihiro Uchiha
Reason: He is the only qualified body in Konoha to step up and fill the role. Konoha is long overdue for an active leader and he fits the bill.

Candidate's Name: Xurious
Detail: Best Meme: The Gumbo Meme
Reason: This is probably the most flexible meme on Gladius which has countless applications. It is timeless to me, giving me a solid LOL each time I see it.

Candidate's Name: The Best Halloween Party
Detail: Best Comet Thread
Reason: It only makes sense that the best comet thread is The Best Halloween Party

Candidate's Name: Kanna
Detail: "It's a shame you became the very garbage we were appointed to take care of. But it isn't a shame that I'll be able to discipline you for it. Mouth off all you want, I know based off of the results of that tournament that that's all you're good for" - Kanna
