13th Place - Tokyo Taxman. A greedy soul, forgotten upon death. Luck just wasn't on their side.
14th Place - The Viking. An honest man hidden behind the mask of a killer. Good, but not good enough.
15th Place - Nagito Komaeda. A killing game veteran who suffered greatly. Not well received, despite his fame.
16th Place - New Kid. Silent, but deadly. The world knew he was guilty, it was only a matter of time.

This is where we leave our contestants. When we return, our R3/LR3 competitors face their interferences head-on. Stay tuned, and keep your ears open.

Make Me So Smooth

Sixteen jurors this match, the lowest of the tournament thus far. Not surprising, considering the extreme delays in production. However, I hope that we can get more in the future. In any case, this match ended up being very close. Has Latch Brothers' missing partner resulted in lessened strength, or has Carmen's foreign sound finally caught up to him?

One stands, one falls. Only one can remain in losers, and that honour falls to...

DOWN WITH THE KING

Eighteen jurors. An improvement, but... we can do better. As we close losers round three, we enter a very exciting portion of our judgement process: the winners of the next two approaching rounds, R3 and LR4, will be considered INNOCENT, free from the system. I wonder if you will make the right choices there.

Getting back on track. Will October's solemn rhythms pail in comparison to true destruction? Or will The Ultimate Annihilator's restrictions hold him back? One stands, one falls. Only one can remain in losers, and that honour goes to...
