Mr. /co/lympus 2021 was the fourth edition of the annual Mr. /co/ event, and the eighth character tournament overall. The competition began with the nominations on October 8, 2021, 18:00 Eastern Standard Time, and ended with the final match on October 17.

Stats anon !!rkK6EtYmPFl, the host of the tournament, disappeared (possibly having died) before the scheduled start date, although as of 2022 this is yet to be officially confirmed. After the initial chaos that followed in the host's absence, several tripfags decided in a plus4chan thread that they would continue running the rest of the tournament until Stats showed signs of life. Currently, only NightShiftAnon !!9A2duD1C25+ plans to continue hosting.

The tournament was won by General Grievous from Star Wars, defeating 2019 semi-finalist Hank Hill in the final match. Aku claimed third place after he won against the low-seeded Marvin the Martian in the consolation playoff. Unlike Ms. /co/ 2021, this Elite Eight roster contained five guys (Hank, Aku, Samurai Jack, JJJ, Skeletor) who reached the stage for the second time. Nevertheless, it was still hailed by anons as one, if not the best Top 8 to date, in contrast to the mixed reception of the female counterpart.

How to nominate?

• All characters must either originate from /co/ media: Western animation and comics
• Each valid nomination must garner at least nine (9) replies in order to qualify for the contest. These replies are only counted if they are all within a single thread, and do NOT carry over to other threads.

Eligible Nominees

• Any character that was allowed or has appeared in past Mr. /co/lympus tournaments (Grandfather Clause)
• Characters can be any age
• Puppets are allowed (e.g. Muppets, Sesame Street)
• Generalization Statute: Multiple versions of the same character --- be it from various adaptations, spin-off series, or alternative universes --- are combined into a single entrant. In other words, you are voting for the entire history of that character, not just one particular iteration.
  • Example: Zatanna (DC Comics, Young Justice, DC Super Hero Girls, etc.)
• Character Limit: Each series can only have a maximum of three (3) characters in the main bracket. These are decided by their votes in the qualifying poll. However, there is no restriction on the number of characters that can be nominated from a single series.
  • Exceptions: Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Disney core universe characters + related series (Mickey, Oswald, Goofy, and Donald)

Restrictions

• Any character that is clearly not /co/ is not allowed (e.g. /a/nime and live action shows)
• /v/ideo game characters that did not originate from /co/ media are not allowed
• Real-life politicians that are portrayed as cartoon characters / caricatures are not allowed, satirical or otherwise.
• No /mlp/ characters
• No Board-tans
• No "OC donut steels"
• No meme creations (e.g. Virgin vs Chad)
• One-Month Old Clause: Any character debuting from the 1st of the previous month to the start date are ineligible.
  • Which means that new cartoons or comics released from September 1, 2021 and later cannot be nominated.
• Grandfather Clause: All characters who have previously made it into Ms. /co/ or Mr. /co/lympus tournaments, and is not banned by the Elite 8 rule, are eligible to participate regardless of the above restrictions. (Examples: Dr. Eggman Dr. Eggman, Saxton Hale, JFK, Wendy's, Princess Zelda). [ Click here for the full list.]
