Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Steve}} player with a {{SSBU|Kazuya}} secondary from Japan who is considered to be the current best player in the world. acola has gained a worldwide spotlight due to his impressive consistency as a player, arguably on par with the likes of {{Sm|MkLeo}}; up until {{Trn|Maesuma Offline (Shikoku)}}, he had made grand finals at every offline tournament he attended, including winning his first major at {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 7}}, his first supermajor at {{Trn|Kagaribi 7}}, and his first invitational major and overseas tournament at {{Trn|The Gimvitational}}. His victory at Maesuma TOP 7 made him the youngest ''Ultimate'' player to win a major, at the age of 15 years old. He is also the only ''Ultimate'' player to win the first major and supermajor that they attended. | ||

With acola's strong performances in the previous year, all he needed was to clean up a few unfortunate statistics in order to take the throne. The [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023|first half of LumiRank 2023]] saw just that, as acola saw a string of performances that many had compared to MkLeo's performances in early ''Ultimate''. During this period, acola won nearly every event he attended and placed no lower than 7th at any event considered for the ranking. Most notable among these events include the supermajors {{Trn|Umebura SP 9}} and {{Trn|Kagaribi | With acola's strong performances in the previous year, all he needed was to clean up a few unfortunate statistics in order to take the throne. The [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023|first half of LumiRank 2023]] saw just that, as acola saw a string of performances that many had compared to MkLeo's performances in early ''Ultimate''. During this period, acola won nearly every event he attended and placed no lower than 7th at any event considered for the ranking. Most notable among these events include the supermajors {{Trn|Umebura SP 9}} and {{Trn|Kagaribi 10}}, two of the largest events in Japan for the Mid-Year season, and the major {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 6}}, where after losing to {{Sm|Big D}}, he tore through the entire tournament, defeating everyone in his path -- including dominating {{Sm|MkLeo}} 3-0 in the runback -- to claim his first Summit victory. Further helping him was his loss record: only six players managed to take a set over acola, and all of them were ranked in the top 30 for the Mid-Year season; conversely acola only had one negative record against a player outside the top 10: {{Sm|MuteAce}} (#16), who has a 0-1 record against acola. Finally, acola's overall record was impressive, as he held a 90-10 record against players who qualified for the rankings, which included a 64-10 record against the entire top 50. | ||
However, there were a few things working against acola that challenged his path for #1, all of which was due to his new bracket demon, {{Sm|Sparg0}}. During this period, acola took a total of 2 games off of Sparg0, leaving acola with a 0-5 record against Sparg0. In addition, acola failed to win any tournament that was ranked premier on the LumiRank Mid-Year 2023 -- the highest tier on the rankings -- as at all three events he was ultimately eliminated by Sparg0. This was most notable at the premiers {{Trn|Kagaribi 10}} and {{Trn|Battle of BC 5}}, where despite making it to Grand Finals, acola lost to Sparg0 to place 2nd. Due to all of this, many players believed Sparg0 would come out on top for the Mid-Year ranking. However despite a close race, Sparg0's worse overall record and a couple of questionable major placements held him back, and acola was able to ascend to the throne, becoming the first Japanese player to be ranked #1 for a game released after ''Smash 64'' since {{Sm|9B}} on the [[SSBBRank 2014]]. | However, there were a few things working against acola that challenged his path for #1, all of which was due to his new bracket demon, {{Sm|Sparg0}}.

He notably had only a few losses during this time, with only one -- {{Sm|Hurt}} -- being outside of the top 10. In addition, many players took note of how acola frequently won sets that went to game 5, with a statistic showing that acola had won 87% of game 5 sets that year, earning him the nickname "Game 5 acola".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/TMMythra/status/1729538095089889784|title=Game 5 acola statistics}}</ref> | ||
This period, however, was not completely spotless, as acola began to develop a few new problematic opponents. The first was fellow Smashmate rival {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}, who at that point was also a contender for the best player in the world. Although acola had a strong record against Miya, this record began to shrink during this time, notably after Miya blocked acola from winning another premier event after double-eliminating him at {{Trn|Kagaribi 11}}. The second was {{Sm|Sonix}}, who finally fought acola at {{Trn|Port Priority 8}} in a highly yet ironically anticipated matchup. The set ended in a devastating 3-0 from Sonix, and acola ultimately fell to Miya for 3rd, failing to win yet another premier event. Although these performances did little to hurt acola's overall standing, they also showcased how he was not as invincible as many players had assumed. | |||
