Battler Ushiromiya

Battler Ushiromiya is the main protagonist of Umineko ni Naku Koro ni (literally "When the Seagulls Cry"), a murder mystery visual novel created by Ryukishi07.

Tournament History
An (in)famous character with an established place in /v/ board culture, Battler is best known for being the mascot of The Final Rumble, a wrestling show about some guy on Twitch who streams a modded WWE game where various anime, cartoon, and vidya characters punch each other. The wiki's front page states that the site is "created by /v/irgins". In TFR, Battler is commonly associated with Agent 47 from Hitman, serving as one of his biggest rivals.

Since King of /v/ is a knockout tournament, Battler naturally took his talents there and became a popular competitor since some of TFR's fanbase also visits the contest threads. However, he also carried his "jobber" reputation to the event, making him prone to losing in the first round despite being seeded decently high most of the time. This was shown immediately in the inaugural King of /v/ 2019, where he lost to Gene in the first round. Battler did reach the second round in 2020, but that required beating the shit out of his grandpa Kinzo, and he was promptly shot dead by Left 4 Dead old man Bill afterwards.

In 2021 Battler faced hentai protagonist Rance in round 1, which gained infamy when a user applied the "sacred ointment" to a printed picture of him, leading to yet another shameful defeat. Inspired by Battler's performance, the tributes returned with a vengeance several days later when multiple anons decided to "anoint" the two finalists with their own "ointments" as well.

Battler's best performance so far has been in King of /v/ 2022, where his hype carried him through the first round against GTA's Niko Bellic, as well as round two in a matchup against the similarly hyped up Spamton. Just when it seemed like Battler might break his jobber status, however, he fell short of the 40 homeruns required to defeat elder god of baseball Christopher Robin, losing by 9 votes in an intense matchup that saw back and forth OC from both sides.
