I'm gonna revive ANOTHER dead thread (i'm practically a Thread Cleric at this point just because I never want to make new ones >_>) by pointing out something I think a certain someone in this forum will be interested to hear about.

Nico Nico actually ALREADY has a rival, even before the tournament. But only kinda sorta considering if it counts or not.

Turns out that 4chan's /a/ (Anime & Manga) and /jp/ (Otaku Culture) boards have a habit of posting stuff on Nico Nico Douga mocking YouTube videos or anime in general. The Japanese users however know about this and do the opposite, posting mocking videos right back, occasionally onto YouTube. This little one sided good-natured feud (as in only from Nico Nico Douga's side, 4chan's.... not exactly known for being friendly to other sites) is actually pretty documented there, to the fact they even have a tag for it there, jokingly calling it "Nico Nico International Cultural Exchange" or something to that effect translated to English. I came across this when reading Nico Nico Douga's (admittedly rather short) TVTropes page, as I've been reading the ones for every character that has one.

Considering the fact that Dr. Piccolo's a personification of a meme heavily associated with 4chan and the version of Nico Nico in the tournament is the literal personification of the website in the form of their mascot.....

yeah Although it's still pretty damn debatable if Piccolo's going to actually reference 4chan at all in his quotes or rips or anything considering well.... the usual culture of that website. '>_>
