Winner Norasuke's Comment
I want to thank my parents, who encouraged me when I was disappointed after losing the year before last and last year.
I was nervous since the morning, so I do feel happy, but I can't let my guard down from now on, so I will do my best.
Runner-up Yuuki's Comment
I'm a little disappointed, but I'm happy that I got second place.
I want to win the next tournament too.

Capturing the momentum in one go, delta maintained the lead and reached 20 points first, brilliantly shining as the champion!
PR TIMESI'm really glad I've been playing Puyo Puyo.
I had never won the Puyo Puyo Grand Prix before, and I had been constantly searching for my playstyle, but I'm very happy that the results have shown that what I've been doing was right.
In this final, many young players participated, and I won with the determination that I would not lose.
I feel like I've found a playstyle that fits me, but I also feel like I can still do more, so I want to further refine my skills and approach future tournaments.
