Magical Boy Tournament: Round 4

Entrant Propaganda:

Stormy

“When you stare into the void, the void stares back”

pollrunner’s son

he can probably teleport

purrmachine 9000

the most loyal cat in the world (according to pollrunner, who is biased)

He followed Haruto home and is now an ESA for a kamen rider. he's doing well. he likes to ride around on Haruto’s shoulder like a parrot.

Haruto Souma

VOTE FOR HARUTO. he is so special and so fucking cool

haruto casts 'gun'

this is so funny. you are all falling for his act. promote him more like this hed fucking LOVE it. sometimes i forget what peoples perception of haruto is like when they DONT think about him for hours every single day. like i would never say 'he is so cool' about a first impression more like 'he is the most mentally ill bitch ivr seen in my life'

HE IS COOL HE'S JUST USING IT TO DEFLECT [so] vote haruto he's such a nerd

plain sugar donuts strong enough to kill a god

Love Kamen Rider “Do as I Say not as I Do”, drives around all day telling people to get therapy, refuses to get therapy himself

Tadase Hotori

My dear son boy with a magical egg that turns him into a king.

Magical Boy Tournament: Round 2

oh no

Entrant Propaganda:

Gandalf

You shall not pass! -> (he’s talking to his opponents)

Gandalf IS magic

op this would be far more effective if he had his big naturals 

Chat Noir

He is a kitty!!

Chat Noir is the most magical a boy can be you can't change my mind

Chat Noir has a metal staff that extends. He uses it as a defense weapon and for transport. He holds on to it like it is a pogo stick, and it extends and de-extends to bounce him through the air. He has a power called the Cataclysm, which vaporizes pretty much any inanimate object it touches and infects human flesh with a spreading rot. He activates this power by saying the word cataclysm aloud. The cataclysm looks like a spitting ball of black energy that surrounds his hand. Chat Noir gains his powers from a ring called a Miraculous. The ring is inhabited by a creature called a kwami. The kwami takes the form of a minuscule cat-like animal, who calls himself Plagg. Plagg can levitate and phase through walls. Plagg enjoys eating smellly Camembert cheese. When Chat Noir is not wearing his suit, he is a 9th-grader boy named Adrien, the kind son of a cold businessman. It is thought that Adrien might be a sort of android created by the power of a different miraculous, but he appears fully human.

Magical Boy Tournament: Round 2

Entrant Propaganda:

Superman

Link to his magical boy transformation: https://twitter.com/DCOfficial/status/1677029743005245440?s=20 

He's so cute. I have never been into dc comics or superman but this version of him took the "softboy adapts to city life while fighting crime" story and made it so anime coded. You know what I mean.

Mamoru Chiba

He has the classic tux look and always has fresh roses on hand. His cape is a perfect transition for any situation. He supports sailor moon like the queen she is. No one can rock purple pleated pants like him. And with that “my job here is done”

he's so sweet and adorable and he cares so much about people 🥺 I have to vote for him

HIS POWERS LITERALLY GET STRRONGER BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH HE CARES WHEN THE VILLAINS PLANS BACKFIRE AND THEY GET HURT HE ALWAYS TRIES TO HELP THEM

I went with Clark because he deserves to be in the magical girl club || hes enough of a sweetheart to embody the magical girl spirit

his transformation was inspired by Minami Kaidou (Cure Mermaid)

Qifrey

Wise man who teaches four girls magic and also deals with literally everything

Qifrey is too much of a warcrime babygirl

Magical Boy Tournament: Round 5

Entrant Propaganda:

Howl

He ate a star, which I think is more impressive than anyone else I've submitted.

Including Howl in a magical boy tournament is like submitting a nuclear bomb to a middle school science fair

he's the most magical and most boy

Emerald Heart

quick before liam walks the plank-- -> he's apparently sopping wet now

Rio Kuroki

ok so he was only a magical boy for a couple episodes and he was never named as a cure in series BUT he absolutely deserved it and would’ve become one officially if higher-ups weren’t cowards!!

He started out as a fairy who wanted to become a Pretty Cure (magical warrior) with his twin sister Ciel, via the Power of Baking! but she was a bit better than him and his jealousy led him into darkness. He becomes a snarky teenage boy going on and on about how he’s horrible and made of darkness and stuff. However, he also jumped in front of a magical attack for his sister so she could finish her magical transformation. He pseudo-dies but comes back to save the other cures when things got tough! He sticks around and reconciles with his sister.

It’s a classic villain-to-cure Precure story that he was ROBBED of!!!

can we tiesweep them? does Haruto like cats? does he need a sidekick? (I'm really just surprised Stormy got this far, tbh.)

Entrant Propaganda:

Viperpace

Ladybug was so very confused when she gave Nino his miraculous and then gave Luka his and Viperpace showed up.

With Shellter and Second Chance combined, he shall be unstoppable! 

Merlin

He's such a dotty old man, but also a true mentor. My favorite scene has to be when him and (I wanna call her Morgana?)—madam mim— have a magic duel and they keep changing into bigger and bigger creatures until he becomes a bacteria to beat her.

Edit: just noticed I forgot to credit @schsas for the Viperpace art. Sorry about that!

Yumoto Hakone

I sincerely considered submitting the entire main cast of this show to this poll but decided on Yumoto because he's more or less the Leader/Sailor Moon of the group and so is the most magical boy-est of the Earth Defense Club, aka an entire 5-man-band of color-coded protagonists with a pink Wombat (named Wombat) as their Magical Animal Companion who gave them magical powers and have full Magical Boy Transformation Sequences and named special attacks and every other possible staple of this genre. They are THE Magical Boys™. And Yumoto is the most magical of all. I rest my case.

Henri Wakamiya

cure infini is iconic and so important to precure history.

HENRI IS LITERALLY CURE INFINI?????? THE BOY CURE THAT MADE THE NEWS??

Syaoran Li

syaoran on the other hand is my fave baby bi

[magical-characters-tourney]

Magical Boy Tournament: Round 5

Entrant Propaganda:

Syaoran Li

syaoran on the other hand is my fave baby bi

His growth is very well done.

He gets an emotional intelligence by clear card that's rare in anime boys

vote Syaoran he is in fact canonically bi and it blew my mind when i was 7 okay

plus he's really sweet and cute and he has an amazing character development through the series, and we talk shit about Touya picking up fights with a middle schooler all the time (as he deserves) but we need to talk more about the middle schooler who's totally ready to square up and steal his boyfriend... before dating his sister.

like he's the most Guy ever i love him so much.

Syaoran's one of THE og magical boys and one of the more competent ones too.

Syaoron didnt get dressed up as Sleeping Beauty in the school play to lose

Tadase Hotori

My dear son boy with a magical egg that turns him into a king.

Guys please support the prettiest prince dictator of the world please

like his magical boy name is “’platinum royal”’ and he’s covered in frills what else do you want

THA SHUGO CHARA FANDOM IS DYING VOTE FOR TADASE IF YOU'RE A REAL EGG HEAD

he's just a little boy who dreams of world domination

tadase's costume is literally so cute. babey boy

So frilly. So noble. So dorky he gets bullied by his own mascot.

elsword fans, please forgive me.

Entrant Propaganda:

Shining Astro

he collects data against his enemies and calculates all of his attacks so he doesn't make mistakes like a loser

"His unbelievable understanding of past material makes some suspect that he's actually from the past, but he's really just an ordinary civilian who goes to the grocery store during special sale times while wearing his earphones." actual quote on the wiki my boy has autism

he's afraid of ghosts

PLEASE VOTE FOR ADD HES BEEN THRU ENOUGH || KOG IS GONNA MAKE HIM FIGHT HIS MOM U GOTTA GIVE HIM YHIS || ngl as a rando i can agree he has a cool outfit

add is my favourite elsword character. it hadnt even occurred to me theyre gonna make him fight his mom. oh no. they are. they are i see it now. i understand the fear. they are going to BREAK this boy

Howl

He ate a star, which I think is more impressive than anyone else I've submitted.

Including Howl in a magical boy tournament is like submitting a nuclear bomb to a middle school science fair

he's the most magical and most boy
