    Garnt-o: (grimace)
    Connah-san: Face the truth, it's hopeless. Soon I'll be able to promote my lowly pawn to a queen, and I'll emerge victorious when my king is the only one left standing!
    Garnt-o: (internally) Maybe he's right, maybe it IS hopeless. I can't stop his pawn, and once he has a queen, I'll lose for sure! And my time is running dangerously low. There's nothing I can do... unless...
    What was it that Grandpa Joey told me about when we were training?
    (Flashback)
    Grandpa Joey: Garnt-o, there is an ancient rule that has been forgotten to the world. Only the most skilled chess masters have kept the knowledge of its existence alive. In a chess match, if at any time the same position appears for a third time, the game is automatically drawn.
    Garnt-o: Oh, I get it! If all the pieces are in the same place for a third time, then the game is a draw!
    Grandpa Joey: Ha ha ha, that's it. Remember this rule, Garnt-o, and it may one day mean the difference between victory and defeat.
    (Present day)
    Garnt-o: (internally) That's it! Grandpa Joey told me that if the same position repeats three times, the game is a draw! Now I just have to hope Connah-san doesn't know about the rule...
    Garnt-o: I move my king to B6, threatening your knight!
    Connah-san: Big deal. All I have to do is move my knight away and it will be safely protected by my pawn!
    Garnt-o: (internally) He did it!
    Connah-san: Make your last pathetic move, Garnt-o.
    Garnt-o: My pieces don't make any pathetic moves, Connah-san. But my king is able to move to... C7!!!
    Connah-san: C7? So what? It won't change anything!
    Garnt-o: That's where you're wrong, Connah-san. You see by moving my king to C7, I will have repeated the same position for the third time, meaning that the game will automatically be a draw.
    Connah-san: What!?!?!? No!!! It's not possible!!!
    Garnt-o: King! Move to C7! And... DRAW!!!!!!!!
    Connah-san: (As he's enveloped in a blinding white flash) AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! AAAAHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Referee: DRAW! Garnt-o wins the tournament!
    Cool guy: Heh, well whaddya know? A draw. The kid won after all.
    Syd-chan: Garnt-o-kun, you did it! We always believed in you! You were the hero we always knew would win!
    Garnt-o: And it was that belief in me that allowed me to win, the faith of my friends.
    Connah-san: No! It's not possible! How could I lose!?
    Garnt-o: It's simple, Connah-san. You were overconfident and you played arrogantly. Only once you learn to treat each of your pieces with respect can you truly become a master.
    Connah-san: Heh. Maybe you're right after all. You may have won this tournament, but I'll be back again to defeat you, and I'll be stronger than ever. You can count on that.
    Garnt-o: I look forward to it, Connah-san.

      Shit
      Even their mindset is fit for anime. Fits for how the actual tournament turned out to be:
      Gigg-UK. The comeback kid. OG among OG ani-CZcamsrs, left and became a monk. Learned the way of patience and used it to win. Used every other time he has lost as a learning experience and carried that same exp to victory. Typical shonen protag.
      JOSH the Anime man (people keep getting his name wrong XD ) Mr. Half-blood prince. The new top dog of the anime CZcamsr scene(kind of, in relation to Garnt). Being the new big shot, he still has lots to learn and it showed during the tournament.
      CDawg Virginia. Mister 93%. Get's all the girls. Muda muda muda his way throughout his childhood. Child prodigy but ultimately lost to a former monk because anime rules dictate that patience beats whatever fucking skill an opponent has. Typical antagonist.

      There is season 2 of it. All The bois lost early.
      That's why there's no "special" Video of it. Connor also said it on stream (there's a clip of it iirc) that because none of the "trash taste bois" Made it to the final, it's not really a trash taste special does it? And that's why the 2nd season is not aired 😂
