I bet on Orange, Nakamoto, and Kanata in a row.

Orange lost in the previous stream, so he might not be that strong? I’m going with the Loser trio.

>>112 Anyone would lose against an army of Strains
By the way, could you introduce some strong players? There are quite a few overseas players, so I’m not sure about the power balance.

>>113 A volunteer compiled a list on social media, so I’ll repost it here:
Prominent Players
『Triple Loser』
An Indonesian pro gaming team. Originally played 3-person battle royale FPS games. Became a hot topic for being too strong despite their name. Their skills carry over to 『HAO』, but after declaring they joined a company in Ver1.08, they stopped streaming 『HAO』. So their Apollyon skills are unknown.
『Teo』
A French player who raked in points in the Ver2.00 Arena. Handsome guy. Specializes in unarmed Apollyon combat, destroying countless Apollyons with his strikes. It was also revealed in a recent stream that he appears as an NPC in 『HAO』.
『Kanata』
A super popular idol streamer with over 1 million subscribers. Energetically streams everything from singing to gaming, showing dedication by streaming 『HAO』16 hours a day since Ver2.00 started. The sight of her firing a barrage of missiles loaded on her mech is overwhelming. Her cuteness is proportional to her firepower.
『Nakamoto』
Japanese player. He showed strength that seemed impossible for the same player, and before I knew it, he became an NPC too. If you ask about him in 『HAO』, you might hear heroic tales about him. But him defeating 10 Strains has to be an exaggeration… Right?
『Hiniru』
A man famous for the saying “Stand and he’s a vegetable, sit and he’s a peony, speak and he’s an audio MAD”. Despite his decent looks, he kept committing annoying acts, drawing hate and becoming an internet punching bag. Just shut up and sit down forever. Apparently he’s one of the top players of a certain FPS, but we’ll see.
『Orange』

Not much information. Is this really a compilation?
116 Anonymous Player
>>115 On the contrary, there’s no other information. That’s because this time:
・Among 『HAO』players, only those using Apollyon
There’s this huge restriction, so there are shockingly few famous players among those gathered. It’s unbelievable for an official tournament – they’re even inviting players with only 3-digit subscribers.
117 Anonymous Player
So proper famous players are at least in Losers?

>>117 What about Orange?
119 Anonymous Player
>>118 No way he’s normal. He’s in the abnormal category.

Even with this kind of tournament, half the concurrent viewers in the tens of thousands are there for Orange. Former congressman Tanaka Lightsword, who resigned due to the Orange Cannon, is watching along and it’s hilarious.
121 Anonymous Player
The Orange Cannon is still ongoing. Lawsuits are coming in, so information is scarce, but people mentioned are quietly being forced to withdraw. Scary.
122 Anonymous Player
Even overseas specials about him are lacking. But now that we know he’s a real person, things will unravel. When will Orange’s own secrets leak?
123 Anonymous Player
Kanata-chan is so cute! I’m jealous of those watching in person!

Day 3 apparently has super high demand. There were hardly any reports of winning tickets on social media. Even news organizations seem to be shut out, with a certain news site hilariously begging to buy a ticket for 100,000 yen.
125 Anonymous Player
Well, politicians from various countries are coming, so it can’t be helped.

Stop the alterations by Kōmitsu Solutions and the Prophet!
Those who know the truth, rise up!
We have no choice but to destroy Mishima Kanji who will ruin the Earth!
The gray wasteland is the end result of humanity that polluted the planet, we must progress to facing God’s wrath!
Before Earth returns to rubble that isn’t even gray!
The day of execution is now!

Another troll…

Did they add a line at the end?

We shall bring down God’s judgment upon the Prophet! We must not allow the alterations, we must not allow Ver3.02!

Orange: “I’ll stir things up, so thank you in advance.”

Give a cooler declaration of intent… Also, while it’s true that the 『HAO』future theory has too much reality to be called a conspiracy theory, then what was that 『Super Mecha Battle 4』?
131 Orange Thread Resident
>>128 There’s still time. Won’t you stand against the future alongside the Prophet? There’s no point in us being enemies.
>>130 I don’t know.
132 Anonymous Player
You saw that wasteland! The swarms of countless metal monsters! That’s the destruction the Prophet will bring. Do not side with the one who will destroy the world!
>>130 I don’t know.

Sorry to interrupt while the trolls are getting heated, but try listening to the Prophet’s actual declaration again.
