Hmmm....true, although i do wonder how they are going to cover 3 volumes in 12 episodes. If they were going to mix the events though maybe and this is a big stretch of the mind here, they are going to nerf Tohka and make Kirihara the last villian of the anime. Why because Kirihara is possibly the biggest douchebag around and it would probably make a more climatic ending, although i havent seen Ikki vs Tohka so i couldnt really say for sure. They could even make Tohka the first match of the tournament and have Kirihara beat up on Shizuku before his match with Ikki. Bwahahaha all hail Kirihara. >:)
