Today we saw 448 duelists go head-to-head in nine rounds of intense dueling. Mezuki made his Shonen Jump debut, players traded in their Fusion decks for Extra decks, and Richard Clegg ran Dark Scorpions straight into a brick wall.

It was pretty great!

Now, nine competitors have taken Gladiator Beasts to the Top 16, alongside three Dark Armed Dragon decks, one Lightsworn, one Prime Material Vanity build, and one Little City. Here’s what the bracket looks like for tomorrow.

First, former U.S. Champion Adam Corn will take on Canada’s Jason “Second At Nationals” Tan in a Gladiator Beast mirror match. Once again, Adam Corn proved to be unstoppable here today, chalking up yet another undefeated Day 1 performance. But Corn has never won a Shonen Jump Championship—will this weekend finally be his big chance?

Then Jose Prado will take on Worlds 2008’s runner up Robert Ackerman, pitting his Prime Material Dragon/Vanity’s Fiend deck against Ackerman’s Gladiator Beasts. Prado’s deck is specifically designed to take out Gladiators, but Ackerman is coming in hot off the best Worlds performance of any U.S. player in history. Can Prado take him down?

Up-and-comer Logan Snider then duels veteran Augustin Herrera, in another of the Top 16’s Gladiator Beast Mirror matches. Snider is most certainly the dark-horse pick in this matchup—Herrera has been to the Day 2 tables many times, and may deal with the pressure better. Experience is on his side, but a win here for Snider would be a huge stroke for his reputation.

Next, David Duran takes on Rob Cedar, and this one is anybody’s duel. Both competitors have been around the Shonen Jump circuit for ages, and each has had their shares of successes and failures. Careful and creative side decking may make the difference here, but luck will also play a significant role.

Moving out of mirror match country, we have Teriq Patel dueling Marco Cesario. Patel is one of three Dark Armed Dragon players in Day 2, but he’s up against Cesario’s Little City build. Armed with Skill Drain and Royal Oppression, Cesario has a huge advantage in this matchup, and may go on to win it all.

Next, Jerry Wang pilots Gladiator Beasts against rising star Greg Smith Jr. Smith is playing Dark Armed Dragon, the deck Wang made famous in not one, but two iterations. Can Wang defeat the deck he took to whole new levels, or will Dark Armed Dragon reign supreme once again?

Metagame.com’s own Ryan Murphy has made Day 2 with Gladiator Beasts, a first for this star writer and dueling theorist. His opponent is Dwayne Delamotta—Day 2’s only Lightsworn competitor—and Delamotta may have a big advantage in this matchup. Can Murphy overcome what’s traditionally a bad matchup for Gladiators? Or will we see Lightsworn reach the Top 8 yet again?

Finally, The Princess has made Day 2 with Dark Armed Dragon yet again! Reprising his Top 16 showing at SJC Toronto, Cesar Gonzales is back yet again, and this time he’s up against Omar Beldon. Beldon’s got a strong reputation in some circles, but Gonzalez just keeps racking up those Day 2’s, and has a Shonen Jump title to his name. A win here would be no surprise.
