Character list
OLD - Old Debutant. For seasonal contests, an old debutant is someone who first appeared in an anime installment before this season. This means that they had chances to qualify in a prior ISML seasonal or main tournament, but failed. [Note 1] ISML name: Erythrocyte (aka Red Blood Cell). Since there are multiple named Red Blood Cells in Cells At Work!, this wiki will use her "cell number" AE3803. [Note 2] Airi Yamamoto (Back Street Girls) is a trans woman. Previously known as Kentaro Yamamoto, the story's premise is about a trio of yakuza members (of which he is a part of) who were forced to either commit seppuku for their failures, or undergo sex reassignment surgery and train to become idols. They chose the latter option, debuting as the idol trio named "Gokudols". [Note 3] Phantom in the Twilight is a Japanese-Chinese co-production. [Note 4] The ISML name of Krista Lenz (Attack on Titan) also includes her real identity in parentheses, which is spoiler information. Although she is referred by her true identity from season 3 onwards, for "safety" reasons this wiki will only use her former name. [Note 5] ISML name: Rem Galleu (alternate spelling, double L) [Note 6] Love, Chuunibyou & Other Delusions! Take on Me Blu-ray disc JP release date: 18 July 2018. It was originally released in Japanese theatres on 6 January 2018.

 * Mahiru Tsuyuzaki (#12)'s bracket position is swapped with Rachel Gardner (#14) in order to eliminate the possibility of an early rematch. If the bracket proceeded under normal seedings, two members of Group C -- Mahiru (#12)andAE3803 (#4) -- might have played against each other again in the quarter-finals.
