The first of the two most notable runs of the tournament is {{Sm|Raru}}'s run. As the second seed, he lost in his third set to {{Sm|Ocha}} 0-3 for a upset factor 10, the biggest of the tournament. Despite this, he managed to make a 11-set losers run while scoring a lot of good wins : #6 seed {{Sm|Glutonny}} 3-0, #17 seed {{Sm|Yamanaction}} 3-2, #5 seed {{Sm|TamaPDaifuku}} 3-1 and #4 seed {{Sm|Shuton}} 3-1 before losing to #1 seed {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} to place 2nd, matching his seed. His second place at a supermajor also marks one of [[Luigi (SSBU)|Luigi]]'s best results in Smash alongside his second place at {{trn|KOWLOON 9 with Sumabato}} and his two majors wins at {{trn|Sumabato SP 47}} and {{trn|Sumabato SP 50}}.<br> | |||
On the other hand, this event saw a [[cinderella run]] from #47 seed {{Sm|Ryopei}}. This [[Snake (SSBU)|Snake]] player was mostly unknown before this tournament, although he had a good run to 33rd at {{trn|Kagaribi 11}}, a year ago, notably defeating {{Sm|Karaage}} and {{Sm|Suinoko}}. Despite benefiting from players being in loser's bracket or eliminated early, he made 3 upsets over #18 {{Sm|Reno}} 3-0 (UF 2), #15 {{Sm|Gorioka}} 3-1 (UF 3) and lastly #14 {{Sm|Toriguri}} 3-2 (UF 3) to reach winner's finals. He lost back to back sets to Miya 0-3 and Raru 2-3, ending his cinderella run at 3rd place. He became the lowest seed to make top 8 at a major since {{Sm|Many}}'s 5th place finish at {{trn|S Factor 11}} in July, who was the #51 seed.<br> | |||
Miya would convincingly win the tournament, only dropping 5 games (one to #32 {{Sm|Noi}}, to Yamanaction and #9 {{Sm|M0tsunabE}} and two to TamaP), extending his already long lead as the player with the most [[List of major tournaments (SSBU)|majors wins in 2024]], and tying {{Sm|MkLeo}} as the number of majors won in all of ''Ultimate'''s life span, being 24. It's very impressive as Miya won the same amount of majors as MkLeo in less than half the time MkLeo had, since MkLeo was present since the start of ''Ultimate'' in 2018 (almost six years ago) while Miya made his breakout run at {{trn|Kagaribi 8}} in July 2022 (2 years ago).<br> | Miya would convincingly win the tournament, only dropping 5 games (one to #32 {{Sm|Noi}}, to Yamanaction and #9 {{Sm|M0tsunabE}} and two to TamaP), extending his already long lead as the player with the most [[List of major tournaments (SSBU)|majors wins in 2024]], and tying {{Sm|MkLeo}} as the number of majors won in all of ''Ultimate'''s life span, being 24.

Similar to other Japanese majors, several top seeds were upset, as only 4 of the top 8 seeded players (Raru, Miya and Shuton and TamaPDaifuku) made top 8. TamaPDaifuku's run to 5th also marks his return to form after his several underperformances both in Japan and North America since the start of the [[LumiRank 2024.2|2024.2 season]]. #3 seed {{Sm|Snow}} lost 1-3 to Toriguri (UF 5) and M0tsunabE 2-3 (UF 4) for 9th, #6 seed Glutonny (the only notable international invader of the tournament) lost to #27 seed {{Sm|Sin}} 0-3 (UF 5) before falling into Raru's loser's run for 25th, #7 seed {{Sm|Akakikusu}} lost to #39 seed {{Sm|Marcos}} and #36 seed {{Sm|Tameigo}}, both in game 5 sets and upset factor 5 for 25th, and #8 seed {{Sm|KEN}} lost to #40 seed {{Sm|Kept}} 2-3 (UF 5) and Shuton in loser's side top 8 qualifier 0-3 (who was send to loser's early by TamaP) for 9th.<br> | Similar to other Japanese majors, several top seeds were upset, as only 4 of the top 8 seeded players (Raru, Miya and Shuton and TamaPDaifuku) made top 8.

The other top seeds to underperformed are #10 seed {{Sm|Kameme}}, dropping sets to #119 seed {{Sm|YOC}} 0-2 (UF 7) and #42 seed {{Sm|Kurofune}} 2-3 (UF 4), #11 seed {{Sm|Umeki}}, losing in two game 5 sets to #75 seed {{Sm|Kebanga}} (UF 6) and #107 seed {{Sm|Tsukasa}} (UF 7) and #18 seed {{Sm|Reno}}, who lost to Ryopei and #50 seed {{Sm|Sumaho}} 1-3 (UF 3), all three being eliminated at 65th. On the other side, despite #12 seed {{Sm|Alice}} lost in his first round to #268 seed {{Sm|Hiiragi}} 0-2 (UF 10, tied with Ocha's win over Raru as the biggest of the tournament), he made a 9-set long loser's run, which includes him winning the runback against Hiiragi and defeating Noi, #16 seed {{Sm|Rarikkusu}} and Ocha.<br> | The other top seeds to underperformed are #10 seed {{Sm|Kameme}}, dropping sets to #119 seed {{Sm|YOC}} 0-2 (UF 7) and #42 seed {{Sm|Kurofune}} 2-3 (UF 4), #11 seed {{Sm|Umeki}}, losing in two game 5 sets to #75 seed {{Sm|Kebanga}} (UF 6) and #107 seed {{Sm|Tsukasa}} (UF 7) and #18 seed {{Sm|Reno}}, who lost to Ryopei and #50 seed {{Sm|Sumaho}} 1-3 (UF 3), all three being eliminated at 65th.

Lastly, Toriguri's 5th place at a supermajor marks [[Banjo & Kazooie (SSBU)|Banjo and Kazooie]]'s best performance, as his three other 5th place finishes (at {{trn|Maesuma TOP 15 "FINAL"}}, {{trn|Battle of BC 6}} and {{trn|Seibugeki 17}}) were made at majors. | Lastly, Toriguri's 5th place at a supermajor marks [[Banjo & Kazooie (SSBU)|Banjo and Kazooie]]'s best performance, as his three other 5th place finishes (at {{trn|Maesuma TOP 15 "FINAL"}}, {{trn|Battle of BC 6}} and {{trn|Seibugeki 17}}) were made at majors. | ||
