Boom-!!!!
The black crescent!
And the blue divine Kamehameha!
Collided with a thunderous crash in the center of the ring!
At that moment!
The entire world seemed to lose all sound!
The entire Arena trembled violently under the clash of these two energies powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth!
The deadlock lasted less than a second!
Ichigo Kurosaki's ultimate crescent, fueled by every last ember he had, was like ice and snow meeting the sun...

"A complete victory"!
After swallowing the Getsuga Tensho, the blue Kamehameha continued unabated, instantly engulfing Ichigo Kurosaki's figure completely...
[Winner-Son Goku!!!]

He looked at his opponent, who had been teleported out, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"What incredible willpower."

As Ichigo Kurosaki's tragic, heroic battle drew to a close, two of the semifinalists had been decided.
They were Roronoa Zoro, who had cut down the chosen one, and Son Goku, who had defeated the sword demon.
The entire Arena entered a brief rest period.
In the stands, the powerful fighters who had long since been eliminated but stayed to watch were also deep in heated discussion.
"The four remaining... that Saiyan prince Vegeta, that Uchiha revenant Madara, that hero for fun Saitama, and that thick-browed Might Guy who burns with youth..."
"Who'll claim those last two semifinal spots?!"
"No question! It has to be Vegeta and Madara Uchiha! The destructive power those two showed in their earlier fights was just ridiculous!"
"Exactly! Especially that Madara Uchiha, summoning meteorites... that's simply not power a mortal
