About the Gomu Gomu thingy, though its a fruit that people may "love-to-hate" but nonetheless ya gotta pay some respect to the contest winner of the previous edition, ya know. Not that I am asking you all to be on your knees and bow before it but that was at least what I can do as the current tourney organiser. Whatever hate you may have for it, just save it for a little longer and lash it out in Round 2, where the privileges are stripped. We shall see how far the defending champ can go in this tourney, back to back winner possible??? ;D

Yeah, I get what you mean about Nui Nui. Just imagine being SEWN onto the ground with the thread through your flesh... *shivers*
