Although high hopes have been pinned on the clan ever since Bad End Dragger's unveiling in VG-BT10:
Triumphant Return of the King of Knights, in general the Spike Brothers clan's tournament results have not been above the bar set by the 2013 format shift. This trend was overturned earlier today, when Doctor O reported the Hiroshima regional results for the ongoing Japanese national championship, where a determined Spike Brothers cardfighter placed first in the tournament brackets, breaking the Eradicator-Liberator deadlock that has persisted since the onset of the current tournament season. Second place went to a Gauntlet Buster deck, while the Junior class tournament has seen Kagerou remain a consistent favorite, with Dauntless Drive Dragon breaking into first place. The tournament decklists should be out later this week.
The remaining four tournaments will take place in Fukuoka,
Tokyo, Sapporo and Nagoya with the Fukuoka tournament being next in
line on the 22nd. This will be the first time that Fukuoka prefecture
has been included in the national tournament, and also the first time
that Okayama, Hakata and Osaka will not be participating.
