Congrats to Jessu for winning the bonus crayon lottery!

Good day, Colors players. My name is Elizabeth. I am here to host the most amazing battle tournament in existence - the Colorseum!
Don't worry, no one will get hurt, at least as long as I don't want them to... The battles will not be decided by strength or strategy, but rather by the ability to win the crowd's hearts! And the judges... will be you!

Want more details? My pleasure!
- Each 'round' will consist of 5 'sub-rounds', posted weekly. They will be First Round A, First Round B, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals and the Final!
- Each round will have a theme - they work in a similar way to the Scrapbook things you use here.
- Each round will have 16 characters from various series fighting in one-on-one battles, in a form of a knockout tournament.
- You decide who will advance to the next round by casting your votes.
- The votes are unscreened, and every player participating will get the same prizes, regardless of the final results! That means you can always vote for the characters YOU like the most!
- Feel free to try to convince other players to vote for your favourites! Bribery, threats - anything goes!
- I will always vote last, just before closing the round. If two characters are tied after that, the one with the higher seed advances to the next round.
- During the final battle of each round, you will be able to suggest who you want to participate in the next one!

Now, let's see today's battles!

The 22th round's theme is... BEST OF 2016! Last year had quite a lot of interesting characters, but who was the best of the best?

TOURNAMENT FORMAT CHANGE WARNING!
Unfortunately, we've been getting less votes lately, and for the first time we didn't get 16 eligible nominations. I'll be changing the rules a bit starting from this round. We'll have 8 nominated characters (the N-seeds) and 8 popular characters (not neccessarily my faves) picked by the host (the H-seeds). The ladder should explain the format a bit. Also, whenever a N-seed battles a H-seed, the N-seed holds the tiebreaker.

Let's look at the tournament (step)ladder, then:

So, are the participants ready? Here are today's battles:

ROUND OF 16, PART 1

BATTLE 1

(seed N1) Lillie (Pokemon) versus (N8) Kikuhiko (Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu)

BATTLE 2

(N5) Noctis Lucis Caelum (Final Fantasy XV) versus (N4) Yoshiko Tsushima (Love Live Sunshine)

BATTLE 3

(H3) Satoru Fujinuma (Erased) versus (H6) Nahyuta Sahdmadhi (Ace Attoney)

BATTLE 4

(H7) Diana (Zero Time Dilemma) versus (H2) Yoosung Kim (Mystic Messenger)

You can vote using this form, though it is not mandatory.

You don't have to vote in every pair. However, for each vote you will get two random cards, making it a total of eight random cards.
Remember, the prizes are the same for everyone, no matter who wins the battles! So vote for your favourites, not the characters you 'expect' to win.
There will also be a bonus prize of two random crayons for one random, lucky participant.
