I am grateful for⁤ the opportunity to‌ participate as‌ an invited ‍player and for all the various connections ‍that have come my way.”

She also shared her experience of competing in the tournament, revealing that ⁢she had three wins and three losses. “I’m currently filming an acclaimed drama, ‍and​ I’ve been practicing diligently during my commute and after ⁢work, ⁣but I‍ just felt like I didn’t have enough time or amount of practice. ⁣So I was really‍ happy to actually win three times!”

Yuka thanked the Pokémon card fans for their support, saying, “To everyone‌ who ‌gave me so much ideas and advice as a Pokémon card beginner, and who joined me in practicing, and to everyone who enjoyed Pokémon⁤ cards with me and supported me on the ‌day of the⁣ tournament.

Yuka was impressed by the variety ‌of decks and play⁢ styles she saw in the tournament, saying, “What’s more, I was able to see such a wide​ variety ⁤of decks and play styles that the word ‘rivalry of warlords’ was a perfect fit, and there⁢ were‌ many battles between Lugia ⁢VSTAR ​decks in the finals and on the live​ stream,​ so I really learned a lot! It was amazing!”

She concluded by saying, “I also wanted to learn more about the world of Pokémon ​cards so that I can have even more fun with all of you. Above ⁣all, I have​ come to love Pokémon​ and Pokémon cards even more. I will continue ⁢to work hard so that I can meet you all again soon.”
