ISML 2010: Taiga claws back to the top, wins Topaz

ISML 2010: Taiga claws back to the top, wins Topaz

First necklace for Aisaka; Katsura, Shana, Akiyama also pick up victories to stay unbeaten

By JR Salazar (Bongaboi)

April 26, 2010

"Mou, Ryuuji, your face...Top...Topa...Topazxoasadfihvebhvrghirguururururrurr..."

The mumblings could be heard incessantly at Ryuuji Takasu's house as Taiga Aisaka began to salivate again for the fifteenth time this week. Little did Takasu know that it was a sign of things to come.

Taiga Aisaka had won the 2010 International Saimoe League necklace.

"I didn't know what she was trying to say, until I looked up InternationalSaimoe.com on my computer,"

Takasu explained. "When I saw the results, I woke her up. I said, 'Taiga! You did it! You did it!' And she whacked me in the balls afterwards, thinking that this was a prank I was trying to pull."

This, however, was no joke. The necklace victory is just a part of her burgeoning trophy case which already includes the 2009 2chan Anime Saimoe and 2009 Korea Best Moe Championships.

"Wow, I thought I had just woke up from a rather salacious dream," Aisaka said during her victory rally outside the Takasu household, which saw Yuki Nagato officially hand the Topaz necklace to the flagship character of Toradora!.

"Guess what everyone? This is no dream at all. This is the real deal everyone!"

The crowd roared its approval, with banners and signs saying, "It's the Year of the Tiger!", "Roar, Taiga, Roar!", "Pre-Parade All Over Again!" and "Can you say...TREBLE?", a blatant suggestion that Aisaka could win the big prize at the end of the season, the ISML Tiara.

"I want to personally thank Ryuuji, Ami, Minorin, and everyone here today for your support and gratitude," Aisaka said. "This will be a good morale boost for all of us heading into the rest of the season. Bring on the Amethyst!"

The crowd could be heard chanting, "TORADORA! TORADORA! TORADORA!" over and over again.

Aisaka's peers weren't so lucky. Ami Kawashima lost to Kotomi Ichinose 2966-2409 while Nagisa Furukawa pounded Minori Kushieda 3189-2280.

It could also be argued that Aisaka had a free pass. After all she didn't have any problems crushing Kyou Fujibayashi 3274-2534, and she used the power of the numbers to outperform Hinagiku Katsura, Shana and Mio Akiyama.

Katsura denied Mikoto Misaka her first necklace with an impressive 3069-2891 victory. Shana blazed past Yuki Nagato 3230-2825 and Akiyama wrapped up her perfect Topaz run with a 33378-2742 win over Saber.

However, Katsura begged to differ.

"Taiga is a different opponent altogether," the former Hakuoh Academy student council president said during a press conferedce that took place. her rally. "Clannad has been on the downswing, and it showed in the string of results against their competition. Mikoto had more to lose from this contest. I will have to say that I am thankful and lucky that I am still perfect through two necklace periods.

"I look forward to the Amethyst with the confidence that I can continue my winning form."

The boos could be heard from the crowd at the Tokiwadai Junior High campus quad as they took stock of the state of events going on. At Hakuoh Academy's auditorium, students, alumni and other fans were jumping, cheering, and crying as well.

As for Misaka herself, she took it all in stride, but she clearly was disappointed by the possiblity that proxy voting had derailed her perfect record.

"That sort of garbage happens," she said next to a disconsolate Kuroko Shirai, who was groaning "Onee-sama" through sobs. "What can you do?

"We believe we gave the defending champion all she could handle. In the end, we came up short. Now, if this was because of the proxy voters, I have to say this: it doesn't pay off in the end. I keep telling everyone. It doesn't pay off.

"At this point, winning a necklace does not mean anything to me. It's qualifying for a chance to win the big prize at the end that counts. I hope to get another shot at Hinagiku Katsura when that time comes."

At the Sakuragaoka High School auditorium, Akiyama and her band Hokago Tea Time performed a number of songs, including "Go! Go! Maniac" and "Listen!!". Afterwards, Akiyama addressed the sold-out crowd.

"Everyone, while we didn't get the Topaz, the important news to take from this is that I am still unbeaten!' The crowd roared her name in response. "I want to thank you for your continuing support in all this. I hope to keep this going into the next phase. You are the best fans in the world and we owe you a great deal. So I am taking a request for a couple of songs. What do you say?"

"How about Heart and Soul by Huey Lewis and the News and Fuwa Fuwa Time?" responded Himeko Tachibana, a third-year student in Sawako Yamanaka's class.

"Good idea. How about it?" THe others agreed. The band rocked into the night, with everyone in attendance jumping in the air to the cover.

The Hirasawa Sisters ended their campaign on the right note. Ui took down Mei Sunohara 2948-2543 while Yui defeated Fate Testarossa in impressive fashion, 3006-2805. Azusa Nakano was unable to secure a K-ON! sweep, losing a 2903-2889 thriller to Tomoyo Sakagami.

"So far, so good," Shana said after wolfing down her 31st melon bread loaf of the tournament at a press conference, with Yuji Sakai looking on sheepishly. "Hinagiku, Mio and Taiga are as tough as they go. I look forward to facing them."

In the special match for topaz 7, it wasn't even close. Alisa Bannings nearly doubled up on Hina-Ichigo, 3037-1558. "I may not have been in this tournament," the brash, spunky Bannings said, "but at least I can win matches like this."
