EDGELORD BATTLE BRACKET 2024: ROUND 2

Propaganda:

Seto Kaiba:

Seto Kaiba is an orphan. He's also a billionaire. He's all alone and nobody understands him. He also has a devoted younger brother and a whole gaming company. At one point he and his brother sunk an artificial island to prove a point. He has beef with a ghost. He has a jetpack. And a private jet. Both of these are shaped like a dragon. Specifically one dragon, blue eyes white dragon. Because he is in love with the dragon. The dragon is a card. He is in love with a card.

His abusive adoptive father committed suicide after he beat him a chess. The main character trapped him in a card for being a bit of a dick. Despite most people never recovering from punishment games Kaiba comes back; hes much worse. He makes a whole death game amusement park to kill his classmate in revenge. He makes this whole deal a day 1 attraction for people to watch. He then gets trapped in ANOTHER punishment game, a mind puzzle to find his true self, and comes back AGAIN through sheer force of will. His true self is not in anyway less evil. Its arguably worse than his first appearance but hes not trying to kill the protag anymore so we dont care. Hes arguably NOT the edgiest character in Yu-Gi-Oh.

Metal Sonic:

somewhat the blueprint for our reigning edgelord. a robot copy that thinks he's the original and HATES the real thing. when he rebels he first takes on a spikier form as neo metal sonic, complete with studded belt and black cape.. his end goal is called METAL OVERLORD and is a gigantic fucked up dragon robot. besides that he normally can't talk and i feel like the amount of inferred seething you get from his red glowy eyes is something special. he has sharp little hands and the way he swipes at people with them tells me he WANTS TO STAB SO BADLY. he's my special little guy.

Flowey:

everyone vote flowery he's got an edgy creepypasta oc form with hyper realistic graphics AND an edgy dark angel anime teen with black sclera and slit catlike pupils and evil black face markings and spiky hair and energy swords and lightning blasts and a skull attack and rainbow energy wings. he spent forever in a time loop and he's undead and he killed people and he has trauma.

and on all levels but physical (how do flowers age???) hes like not even a teenager yet. hes like 10. 13 at most. he wants a red bicycle for christmas but he'll never admit it. twisted fucking cycle paths who literally dont have souls dont have such childish desires. obviously. they also dont tuck their mommies into bed and give her a glass of water. what makes you think hed do that. who told you that

Propaganda:

Law:

Look at this man. He listens to Mcr on repeat. Has the happiest most adorable crew in the world and still looks like a 2005 scene queen. Eyeliner for days. Definitely cried when Ryan Ross left patd. This man is constantly pretending that he hates everyone and everything but has an alliance with the most sunshine boy in the world. Wears his dead adoptive father's symbol on his back for the drama. Only wears black. Eyeliner for days. Mikey Way coded in that he constantly looks like a shivering wet Chihuahua.

A deadly surgeon who lost his entire town to the paranoia of the elite, and then lost his surrogate father to a cruel reflection of those elite. Became a pirate to get his revenge. Only problem? He’s the only serious person in a circus of a sea. Watching him deal with the Straw Hats is a delight.

He's basically the shadow the hedgehog of one piece, aka the egdy boy with a tragic backstory most fans have a crush on. Hes covered in tattoos, including two knuckle tatts that both say "DEATH". His fearsome pirate nicknames are "The Surgeon of Death" and "Dr. Heart stealer". Constant undereye bags/eyeliner(?) (I think its both). He spends almost all of his time pre-timeskip looking smug and mysterious and half his screentime post-time skip getting his shit kicked in (heaving, bloody, on the floor <3). Hes WAY over serious all the time which is why its so fun to see the silly strawhat crew interact with him

Fakir:

He did a blood sacrifice with his own blood for no known reason. If that isn't edgy I don't know what is.

HELLO AGAIN, EDGELORDS

A year has passed since we last converged to decide upon the ultimate edgelord. In the end, the utterly obvious most voted victor was Shadow the Hedgehog, and Zuko in the loser's bracket. But what of all the edgelords that have emerged since then? What of all the old edgelords that have rediscovered? And what about the edgelords that demand a rematch? This simply cannot do! What we need...

More details below the cut!!!

Hello everybody! It's good to see you again! And you heard me right- this month I'll be hosting the second annual edgelord battle bracket!!! While I realize that the bracket craze has pretty much died down at this point, I had suggested last year that this was going to be an annual thing, and I intend to keep my promise! More than that, this bracket brought a lot of people joy last year, and I'd love to keep that going!

So- how's this going to work?

Midnight tonight I'll release the submission form, and it will remain open for a full week (until the 14th). The official bracket will begin shortly after that. The rules of submission are identical to before. That being said, there are two things I'd like to mention:

This year, I'll be taking reasoning from the submissions and using it for support on the actual poll posts. This means that the more concrete reasoning to give when submitting, the more likely your character is to win! With that being said, don't feel pressured to write paragraphs, especially if your character is popular, since I'll only being choosing one or two reasoning submissions. If a character is submitted enough to qualify but has no reasoning, I'll provide a brief description from my own research.

And as for the second point, this year, and this year only, one character from Princess Tutu will automatically be accepted into the bracket. Last year, the tutu fandom made up a huge percent of interaction with this bracket, and introduced me to an incredible story I'd never even heard of beforehand. To honor those fond memories, one out of the 32 competitor spots is reserved for one character from Princess Tutu. But who will that character be? The brooding, lonely Princess Kraehe? The malicious and cruel Raven-blood Mytho? The manipulative and monstrous Raven himself? Or maybe that other guy

With all this in mind, I hope everyone enjoys Edgelord Battle Bracket 2024! See you on the battlefield!

Guts:

He’s referred to as The Black Swordsman, with a ginormous sword called the Dragon Slayer, and his main motivation is revenge. While as a character he has significantly grown throughout the whole manga, he’s still pretty edgy, especially in the early chapters of the manga. He’s not a pizza cutter edgy (all edge but no point) he’s a knife edgy (has an edge but with a point).

Vintage:

honestly his entire team is edgy as hell but vintage in particular. he is so edgy its hilarious and i love him. his whole gimmick is based on the X rank in splatoon which is the highest rank you can get and he made a team with the other top players and called their team the x-blood and every one of their special techniques has something to do with the letter x and vintage is always super dramatic about it and gets really mad when you even MILDLY disrespect the x. i love him so very much
