Peak outdated, Kino overrated, Shonenated, Shonin activated.

Welcome to Shonin Showdown, where we are dedicated to making your Shonin brain rot worse.

I am the Raggedy Doctor and I am ready to rumble with Lady Emery and with another very special guest.

That's right, Raggedy.

I'm pretty pumped for today's episode, and we have the one and only Otaku Cup.

Our judging criteria will be based on the quality of the show, the story being told, the characters involved, but most importantly of all, the quality of the actual tournaments
