-Matches will last exactly 24 hours. Votes after that much time has elapsed will not be counted, even if a new topic hasn't gone up yet.
-This is a contest to determine which character is the most *powerful*. Vote only for the character you think would win in a fight, not the one who's funnier, cooler, or sexier. If you don't do that I can't count your vote.
-BOLD YOUR VOTE. Unbolded votes will NOT be counted.
-Rallying is allowed. Alts are not.
-Fights will take place in a neutral terrain. This does not necessarily mean a *featureless* terrain: assume that both characters will have a chance to use all of their skills to the fullest here, barring setting-specific abilities and anything that requires the presence of multiple enemies (but see below).
-Characters start the fight alone. They don't bring allies with them, like Kerrigan and the Zerg Swarm for instance. Summons are allowed though, provided they're brought once combat has started.
-Fighters retain their usual personalities. They won't fight to kill unless that's their MO, and won't spam their best attacks to win unless, again, that's how they act in their original media.
-Similarly, fighters are unaware of their opponents capabilities at the start of the fight unless their powers facilitate them information (like knowing all there is to know in the universe - this would include who the opponent is and what he can do, as well as weaknesses)
-You don't have to justify your vote, but it helps. If you feel like you can add something to the debate, go right ahead!
-Seriously, BOLD THE VOTE. So important it bears repeating.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This match will run concurrently with Megas/Evangeline, and Round 3 will not go up until it has concluded. Without further ado...
(6) Goku
From Dragon Ball, Goku is a martial artist with a pure heart. Goku is quick to show mercy and often gives adversaries many chances to redeem themselves, though he can kill if the need arises. As a Saiyan, Goku has always possessed superhuman strength (he is capable of lifting many tons), flight, and reflexes, and is capable of reacting and fighting at superhuman speeds. Goku is not terribly bright outside of combat, but in terms of fighting he is a genius, capable of learning attacks after simply seeing them once.
Goku's signature move is the Kamehameha wave, a massive ki energy blast. He can amplify his power by transforming into a Super Saiyan, estimated to increase his power by 50 times; Super Saiyan 2, which is twice as strong; and Super Saiyan 3, which is four times as strong as the second level (though Goku has yet to master Super Saiyan 3). He can teleport nigh-instantly with Instant Transmission, though he needs to sense life to teleport somewhere.

(2) Yuki Nagato
From The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Yuki is an emotionless artificial lifeform with tremendous powers. As a Data Entity, she exhibits the ability of Data Control, which functions as a potent brand of reality warping. Among the abilities she exhibits, she has managed to exist outside the space-time continuum, rewrite her universe, and strip the sleeping god Haruhi of her powers. Perhaps even more notable than her Data Entity abilities is Nagato's intellect, which is developed almost beyond mortal comprehension. She has previously understood the rules and concepts of a game instantaneously, created flawless strategies based on her observations and was able to learn how to play a guitar mere moments after receiving one, and knowledge of the future thanks to the existence of her future selves feeding her information.
