Winners: Kyouko Sakura and Houki Shinonono.

Thoughts: Houki is the only girl from Infinite Stratos left! Unfortunately Charlotte lost against Sayaka Miki, and now Houki will be going against Kuroneko in the Group finals. Oh no >_<. Majority of the Madoka girls are in the final, I got a pretty good feeling that it’ll be a face-off between two of the characters >_>.
