2chan Anime Saimoe 2009: Taiga through to the final


October 14, 2009

Taiga Aisaka is one victory away from securing the East Asian Double. She defeated Nodoka Haramura 1077-998 in the 2009 2cdhan Anime Saimoe Tournament Semi-finals.

Aisaka will face either Mihoko Fukuji or Yui Hirasawa in the final. The Bedlam on Baltic Avenue has predicted that it will be a Taiga-Yui final, since Hirasawa is tabbed to win this match easily.

Aisaka, however, disagrees.

"Obviously, you never want to underestimate your opponent," said Aisaka, preparing for her battle with defending International Saimoe League champion Fate Testarossa Harlaown at Point Omega. "Fukuji will represent the only hope remaining for Saki, and voters should not be surprised if she makes a push late in this match."

When asked about who she would rather face, it was not a difficult decision.

"I want Yui," she replied. "I need to earn my payback for what she did to my good friend Minori, among starters. Plus, I want a challenge. Yui provides that. I look forward to it."

The final is scheduled for October 17.
