Good day, Colors players. My name is Elizabeth. We haven't seen each other in a while... but that's about to change. Welcome to Colorseum Season Five! The old game with new rounds, and brand new prizes!

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.

Now, let's see today's battles!

TOURNAMENT FORMAT CHANGE WARNING!!!!
Unfortunately, again we've been getting few votes and nominations lately, so for now we're going back to the 8/8 system. 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.

The 39th round's theme is... SWORDFIGHTERS! Let's hope those characters are as sharp as their weapons.
Let's look at the tournament (step)ladder, then:
