"I'm Aiming for an Annual Income of 100 Million Yen" - Venue Report from the "Shadowverse World Grand Prix 2025" Grand Finals Where the First "Shadowverse WB Champion" Was Decided

A food area featuring original collaboration foods and an official merchandise sales corner were also set up. Additionally, collaborations between "Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond" and local specialties such as Ariake Yokohama Harbor and Yokohama Beer were realized and sold at booths.

A cosplayer photo session was also held, with yunocy appearing as Draitsen and Sisuru as Maria=Maris at the booth. Attendees were able to take two-shot photos with them.

The players who emerged victorious from the fierce battles and advanced to the "Grand Finals" final match stage were DFM/yuuri and Mishadow51. The first game was a Mysteria Witch mirror match, which DFM/yuuri won first. DFM/yuuri also won the second game with Evolve Dragon, and in the third game's Treasure Royal mirror match, secured victory with "Levin's Bolt, Albert," brilliantly becoming the first champion.

Immediately after the match, while reflecting on his gameplay in the third game, DFM/yuuri mentioned the depth of "Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond" and lightheartedly stated in a post-match interview, "I'm thinking of winning again next year to aim for an annual income of 100 million yen."

Regarding how he would use the prize money, he commented, "In the pre-interview, I said I wouldn't use it, but actually I haven't decided on any special use. However, I believe health is important for playing games, so I'd like to enhance my furniture and bedding, as well as my PC equipment."

The holding of the international tournament "Shadowverse World Grand Prix 2026" with the same championship prize of 100 million yen as this tournament was also announced. We hope you'll pay attention to the competitive scene of "Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond," which will continue to show even more excitement in 2026.
