SALT SPLASH! The greatest psychic of the 21st century himself, Reigen Arataka is here to exorcise the competition! He's definitely no fraud in this competition; with him he brings many spiritually stupendous tracks, and of course, music from his home series and various other Shōnen works. And if you take his most expensive offer, he'll put it to good use and pay some big money to various music industries, in return for some money-related sources, of course. Giving 1000% of his energy, there's no way that this psychic will ever be topped!

- Tracks featuring songs from Shonen-styled works
(ex: Mob Psycho 100 OST, One Punch Man OST)

Welcome to the PokéMart!

SIMPLE: Oh shit! Is that the guy from that one Direct that revealed Smash Ultimate? ...Dunno who the rest of you are, sorry.
NOGAMI: I'll have you know that my research is much more important than just a video game.
CHERRY: Wait, you're saying that you recognize the old guy and not us? Seriously?!
2D: ...still dunno w-why we're fightin' random guys from jail, but okay.

Our first boss battle has finally arrived. Simpleflips is here to claim his spot among the roster of Ultimus Tourney, but Nogami and the Humanz won't be letting him have it so easily! Will they be able to take out the warden of Gay Baby Jail, or does Simpleflips just have too much IQ for them? Let's find out!

#2. Nightmare King Grimm

Wherever nightmares are common, the Grimm Troupe is there to harvest their burning essence - and Nightmare King Grimm is spearheading this ritual to prolong his troupe's existence. Although he was originally planning to gather essence from the horrific roster of Garfield and Friends: Beyond the Crypt, the sorrowful nightmares of a tournament's worth of rejected contestants will provide him with he requires. Will Grimm dance, and die, and live forever? Or will he be sealed away, ending his troupe's cycle once and for all? Only time will tell...
