* FlawlessVictory: The protagonists insist on accomplishing this. This means for team matches that merely taking one loss is not acceptable, and ups the stakes considerably, more often than not leaving Ryuji to fight the final match against the most powerful remaining opponent, risking being confronted with their efforts being AllForNothing.
