"IT'S THE SEMI-FINAL NUMBER ONEEEE!"
The stadium erupted into immense cheers and thunderous roars. Flags of Japan and Australia waved frantically across the stands, creating a chaotic sea of color as both fan bases bellowed to overpower each other's unwavering support.
"It's electrifying scenes here at the National Stadium of Saudi Arabia! It simply doesn't get better than this! The stadium is packed to capacity, and the crowds are going absolute nuts!"
In the stands, Keiichi roared at the top of his lungs, sporting a custom-made Japan jersey with the national flag tied around his forehead like a headband.
Across the aisle, the Australian supporters matched every bit of that energy, roaring back with equal, deafening intensity.
Out of the dark tunnel emerged the back of a player with Kurogami etched proudly across his jersey. As he stepped into the locker room, his face was completely devoid of pressure or excitement, showing only the cold, unshakeable stone of absolute focus.
