Quarterfinals— Satoshi vs. Shoyo

When the clock struck nine, the continuation of the Official Beast Tournament was finally on its way. The commentator was back in his box, commentating along with Luke Skyrunner who only managed to reach the third round.

The matchups were then shown on the screen, and the audience cheered more zealously than usual. It was the much-awaited quarterfinals, after all, and some of them even camped outside the American Dome just so they could enter as soon as the doors opened.

"Oh, you're all here. The barbecue was fun last night, I thought you were going to drink the night away or something." Jean Grey greeted them after taking their seats right behind the row where the Midoriyamas sat. His wife and son were there as well, and they were already well-acquainted with the group since they did have a get-together last night.

"Jean Grey, good morning," Tatsuki greeted back, waving his hand toward Jean and Ash.
