## Season History

### Ethereal Madness Character Elimination

Giannis was one of the 40 starting contestants. He was a starting team captain, leading the James Harden Ownership Group. He was later picked to join the Underachievers by Kristaps Porzingis and then was selected by Yao Ming to join the Great Wall.

In Episode 27, while on a mission to rescue White Mage and Rosalina, Giannis proposed a demolition run to save the hosts, though Luka Doncic argued that the former's idea wouldn't work due to Dark Zatanna being much more powerful than Dark Nega Aaron. Giannis later teamed up with Yao Ming to kill off Dark Emma before he attacked Poisonnissan as revenge for the latter severely injuring Porzingis. However, Bully Maguire would counterattack by knocking Giannis away. In Episode 32, Giannis summoned the "Power of Akumpo" and grew to 84 feet (25.6 meters) tall. He immediately fought Dr. Eggman in a massive brawl during that episode, with Dr. Eggman manning a shorter Death Egg. Eventually, after an intense fight, Giannis would ram Dr. Eggman's Death Egg into the ground, causing Dr. Eggman's Death Egg to be damaged beyond repair while also killing Dr. Eggman. When Ninja, who was filling in as the host after White Mage was murdered during the events of that episode, announced who were going to be penalized, Giannis lashed out at Ninja, telling the latter that some of those penalized didn't do anything wrong. Although Giannis was hit with a lofty penalty, he ultimately did not get booted in the next episode. Giannis would ultimately finish in 1st place and win it all.

### Disney Vs. Miis Character Elimination

In the first cast reveal, Giannis, despite having won Ethereal Madness Character Elimination, was confirmed to be in Disney Vs. Miis. Giannis placed 5th, getting eliminated in Episode 19; he didn't have enough votes to qualify for the Finale.

## Trivia

Giannis Antetokounmpo participated in Wii Festival, placing 14th.

Giannis normally stands at 6' 11" (2.11 m) without shoes and normally weighs around 260 lbs. (118 kg). However, in Episode 32 of Ethereal Madness Character Elimination, Giannis grew to 84' (25.6 m) tall after summoning his "Power of Akumpo". In Episode 33 of that same series, Giannis revealed that Ninja attempted to shrink Giannis back to 6' 11" (2.11 m) after the events of Episode 32 took place, but Giannis instead shrunk to 7' 6" (2.29 m). For the rest of Ethereal Madness Character Elimination from that episode onward, Giannis presumably remained at 7' 6" (2.29 m).

Until Winner's War, Giannis was the only contestant to appear in a character elimination season after winning a previous character elimination season. Although Bowser competed in Duplex Character Elimination and won Duplex Character Elimination Bad Future, which ended before Duplex Character Elimination did, the Bad Future edition is considered to be a subseason of Duplex Character Elimination and not its own season due to it commencing in the middle of its mainstream counterpart, preventing Bowser from having the same distinction.

Giannis' "Power of Akumpo" might be inspired by FlightReacts, in which FlightReacts satirically exaggerated Giannis' height in reaction videos.
