The C Block:

Ebata Tohya
Kanoashi Himari
Kirishima Mondo
Kumatori Riku

Ebata Tohya

Nation Used: Keter Sanctuary
Birthday: August 9th

“The Man Who Knows The Earth’s Depths”

A rising star in official tournaments who suddenly vanished, who then became a fighter who popped up in underground and unofficial matches. He’s handed the position of Team Leader of Blackout over to Yu-yu, and is on a journey as a ‘wandering samurai’ to train himself. He buys his cards by the carton.

Kanoashi Himari

Nation Used: Lyrical Monasterio
Birthday: September 5th

“The Landmine Mistress”

She uses Decks that Top Pro Card Fighters are wary of, as they never come up as Decks for practice partners.
Instead of single-mindedly winning tournaments, she’s concerned with enjoying the Decks she likes, though she does aim to win.
Whenever she says “What card is this~?”, it seems that fight ends in a victory.

Kirishima Mondo

Nation Used: Brandt Gate
Birthday: August 26th

“Watch Your Father’s Back”

An unbeaten champion in official tournaments from over a decade ago, this legendary fighter reluctantly retired.
He’s since become a father, and has decided to make a comeback to let his kid see their father’s back.
He currently is attached to the team “JIGEN”.

Note: I think this “Watch your father’s back” is an idiom of being a strong rolemodel…?

Kumatori Riku

Nation Used: “Stoicheia”
Birthday: April 7th

The Underground Bancho who Reigns Over Kansai”

The leader of the militant team “Blazing Sun”, which contains the strongest fighters in Kansai.
He has an easy-to-anger personality. He came to this tournament to fight Danji, who ended up not entering, so he’s switched his sights from Danji to Tohya instead.

The most guessed winners for C Block are Tohya and Himari!

All 25 episodes of overDress are streaming in prep for will+Dress!
