The first match was Zakuroman against Ozuma. Zakuroman's Kula caught Oswald rolling out and moved him cost-to-coast, KOing him with little life lost. Ozuma was forced to saving shift from K' to Gai after a crossup smalljump that would have spelled disaster (senga loop or even an LDM shift combo to Gato), tagging in Gai. Ozuma was finally able to get some damage in with command grabs and single hits against Kula, but was caught too often and lost the character. With only leader K' left, Ozuma finally defeated Kula but then lost the mirror match to K'.<br> | The first match was Zakuroman against Ozuma.

The second player for the Rival Team was Ryumi, leading once again with Terry. Both players were cautious and played a very long point matchup with mostly single hits. After a few scary throw breaks happening in scramble situations and Ryumi blocking most of Kula's brutal mixups, he managed to barely KO her, falling to K' shortly after, but not before doing 30% damage. Ryumi's Yuri was next, but got caught by K | The second player for the Rival Team was Ryumi, leading once again with Terry.

Ryumi's Yuri was next, but got caught by K's slide > Heat Drive however, reducing her HP to 50%. In the resulting scramble, both players had to use saving shift and were left with Gato for Zakuroman and Ryo for Ryumi, both at full HP and with plenty of stock for LDM. Ryumi managed to KO Gato with a simple shift combo to Yuri, and as a result of the overly long point matchup, time began ticking low. Ryumi's Yuri is a real wall of strong normal attacks, and Zakuroman had a hard time getting in on her with K', feeling the pressure of the timer. Ryumi got the last hit in, shifting to Ryo and winning the match with LDM.<br> | ||
Next up was not Hiroshi, but instead Yanjirou, the team captain. Ryumi played extremely well with Terry against Kula, punishing her reversal super and ultimately KOing her. Yanjirou's K' is extremely strong and you can basically not jump against him due to his insane reaction speed, but Ryumi almost managed to KO him before finally losing Terry. His Yuri play continued where he left off against Zakuroman, making it really hard for Gato to approach. A frame trap Tenryu however took her out, and now only Ryo was left for Ryumi, but with maximum Gauge and full HP. Unfortunately, on incoming he did a dandy step, possibly by accident, and lost the match in dramatic fashion to a stun combo with Gato>K>Gato. It looked like he could have one this match, but sometimes one mistake is all it takes in XI. <br> | Next up was not Hiroshi, but instead Yanjirou, the team captain.

It was finally time for Yanjirou and Sawakoro to face off! On this high level, it could be anyone's match to win. Sawakoro was able to build a bit of gauge with Griffon, but was cornered by Kula. He has the best defense in the world however and was able to escape mostly unscathed with a 1-frame j.C. Yanjirou showed good awareness however and used a shift to K' for a guaranteed guard crush, eventually KOing Griffon. Sawakoro's Silber was next, playing with maximum patience against K', and shifting to Mary once his HP fell too low. Both players continued cautiously trading blows, with none landing any major hits, but Yanjirou retained a sizeable life lead. Sawakoro tried to go for a high-level saving bait when the opportunity arose, but Yanjirou didn't fall for it and managed to anti-air heat drive KO Silber shortly after. With only Mary and a pixel of life left, there was no chance to do much more, and Yanjirou took the much and thereby the tournament, winning Sawakoro Festival 2025 for his team, the Rising Dragons! | It was finally time for Yanjirou and Sawakoro to face off!
