I was just looking at the Arena battles recently and apparantly these people have fought to the death like 20 times before. Explained away because of THE MULTIVERSE! How about instead of "people fighting to kill the other guy because of tournament" we have actual in-story problems, like a feud between two clans or something, and that is our motivation to fight eachother.

Actually, that's what the multiverse is trying to achieve.
