The Prince of Tennis by Konomi Takeshi

[Atobe the king]

Since Ryoma returned the All out Mountain Storm i guessing he can kill too, Cool drive knocked out Kei Tanishi

[Tenshi123]

I didn't read the spoilers either, so Echizen losing his memory was like O.O! But yeah, it's really funny how uncocky he is! I agree with Sai's and Fayte's prediction about the PoP, it makes sense. Huh, so what's this about the "Red Snake"? Has Kirihara adopted a new (bloodier?) style? And is anything going to happen about his SoSA?

[Fayte]

I must say, Renji and Kirihara on the same team is pretty much a one sided match. I really hope Konomi makes this match realistic in terms of skill difference. Renji and Akaya should win this match 6-1. They will win no doubt, I just hope it isn't close at all.

[Atobe the king]

I agree, Kaidoh is nowhere nere Kiriharas Level, Kirihara has only been defeated by Ryoma and Fuji, Kaidoh has no business even scoring

[HikaruYami]

Okay, since Kirihara made it into doubles and I said that was less likely than instantaneous Horio vs. Yukimura (though I was obviously exaggerating), i've decided that there's a chance of this actually happening in singles 2! lol~

still, who do you think Fuji gets to obliterate in singles 2 this time??

And I honestly think that Kaidoh/Inui will manage 2 games, MAYBE 3, but Konomi probably doesn't want to make it as absolutely crushing as 6-1. I think 6-2 is realistic, though if Konomi made it so that Kirihara and Renji both played at absolute 100% from the start of the match, it would be 6-0 no doubt.

[whatsntomake]

Well, we don't know if Echizen RYOMA made the call. Coach Ryuzzaki got a call saying he was in Karuizawa and is stuck on a train or something. She said she got a call from Echizen, not really specifying that it was Ryoma. So chances are that it was Nanjirou taht amde the call.

So then his dad also dressed him in regular clothes? O.o wow this is going 2 far for my eyes :amuse

[Crayola]

He probably wore his regular clothes when he was training in Karuizawa because he knew of the upcoming match. But then he had goptten the amnesia of course.

[Kals]

Wow wow, I have known it for quite a long time that I'll never be able to predict what Mr. Konomi is going to make out of this manga. This manga has become more of a fantasy martial art manga (you know, like Dragon Ballz, Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto or Bleach) than a sport manga. What's with the aura and SoSA? And now amnesia (which certainly comes with a sudden awoken)? XD

I was actually very happy when Tezuka lost. Maybe I'm affected by the anime, but I find Tezuka a bit too cocky for my liking (well, he actually isn't in the manga). I'd be even happier if Echizen Ryoma lost, but I really doubt it. Now I'm only looking for Fuji's match. Hope he'll be against Yagyuu.

Because Mr. Konomi can think of the most unpredictable, I won't be too surprised if he decides to put Fuji in D1 or something.

[Fayte]

Don't worry, Fuji will definitely be playing singles, against Niou's outward appearance. (Can never really tell anymore if it really is him)

[Atobe the king]

Why does everyone want Ryoma to lose? im curious

This is still a sports Manga, if youv'e never been beaten then being cocky is a given

[hisiena]

6-0?? thats too much!
but if that happens then renji will be tha "man"
bwahahahah

[Fayte]

^ As it should be. >.>

[Fuji]

This really weird thought just occurred to me. What if Echizen doesn't play Singles 1. What if Yukimura is playing Singles 2 against Fuji? If that happens Rikkai will actually win Nationals.

Wow that would be the ultimate Konomi curve ball right there.

[yoru sama]

"I really hope Konomi makes this match realistic in terms of skill difference."

Guys if we're talking about being REALISTIC, then you must remember that two great singles players do not an instant doubles win make.

Just because Kirihara and Renjii are stronger individually than Inui and Kaidoh, that would IN NO way mean that Kirihara/Renjii > Inui/Kaidoh. Even considering the super vast gap between Kaidoh and Kirihara.

REALISTICALLY speaking this could very well be a close match. I'm not saying it will or won't be, I'm just pointing out the fallacy in the logic that realistically this has to be a slaughter.

I'm also curious why no one before this match up predicated it (myself included), now that it happened it seems so obvious. Mentor/underling pair of Rikkai vs Mentor/underling par of Seigaku

[Atobe the king]

Well rikkai seems profficient in doubles, theyv'e had multiple pairing so...

Actually no. By that logic, the Sanada/Renji pair should have had a close match with the Ibu/Kamio pair in Kantou. However the match ended up to be 6-0. When the skill difference is that vast, then you end up like that.

[Atobe the king]

Similar to Momo and Echizen when they faced those guys in doubles, after splitting the court Momo and a Handicapped Echizen won 6-2, with the two games prior to to seperation of the court

[yoru sama]

"Actually no."

LOL.

Actually, yeah.

By what logic dude? All I said is that two strong singles players will not necessarily beat out a strong doubles team. No MATTER what the difference. My statement in no way implies that Shinji and Kamio should have beaten Sanada/Renji. Shinji and Kamio are primarily single's players.

Fictionally I have two words for you Kikumaru Oishi. By your logic it would seem they only reason they are the strongest doubles pair in Seigaku is because Tezuka and Fuji never paired. Wrong.

Non fictionally I can end this with two words. Bryan Brothers.

We do not really know much about Rikkai to say Akaya/Renji is a bad pair. We don't know much about their relationship, but as you pointed out, it's a sempai/kouhai vs sempai/kouhai match. We don't know if Renji and Akaya have teamed up before either. We just assume they haven't.


Actually no. By that logic, the Sanada/Renji pair should have had a close match with the Ibu/Kamio pair in Kantou. However the match ended up to be 6-0. When the skill difference is that vast, then you end up like that.

Fayte, even with his logic, as I just said, we don't know much about the interrelationships in Rikkai. But seeing as Renji and Sanada are both part of the 3 demons of Rikkai, it should be safe to assume that they work well with each other and shouldn't be purely singles players

[yoru sama]

I didn't say Kirihara/Renji is a bad pair. I said exactly what you said, that we don't know. And so that means REALISTICALLY speaking this doesn't have to be a slaughter. Stop referring to "my logic". It isn't my logic. It's tennis' logic. Two strong singles players don't equal a strong doubles team. That is all I said.

[Fayte]

Two strong singles players don't equal a strong doubles team.

That is exactly why you are wrong. You could work together with your friend better than anybody else in the world. If you play against Federer and Nadal in doubles (even if they hate eachother) you would get dominated. It doesn't matter how much of a team game you play, if you both suck.

Hence why Renji and Akaya should destroy Inui and Kaidoh. The skill difference is too great.

[Atobe the king]

As Fayte said if the difference is great enough it wont matter

In episode 12 i believe, Ryoma and Momoshiro volunteered for D2 they played a team that were very good doubles partners, However Momo and the echizen who has NO doubles affinity, defeated this team 6-2 in straight games because they were that much better.

If what your saying applied to prince of tennis, then Oishi and Kikumaru could take Atobe and Sanada as pair, which we all know wouldn't happen

[dokoham]

It's fake akaya

anyone agree?

[Fuji]

I don't think so. I would love it if he was really Niou, but saying it's Akaya then it is really Niou seems a little against the rules. But that would be kick ass if it was Niou.

[Fuji]

This is the finals of the National Tournament guys. Every match is going to be close, despite the supposed difference in skill level. This doubles is going to be boring in my opinion but thats only because I think Singles 2 is going to blow as well. I just want to see what Yukimura can do I guess...

[yoru sama]

Exactly Fuji.

What I said is true. Federer and Nadal would never beat the Bryan Brothers. And the difference in singles talent between the two is HUGE!!! Federer v Mike Bryan is the same as Sanada v Momo.

Sure, if I and someone played Federer and Nadal we'd lose. But this isn't pro v amatuer. This is the nationals (END OF THE SERIES) between two strong schools. They are both only in Jr. High. The difference in skill is (relatively) not so vast.)

[Fayte]

What are you talking about? The skill difference we are comparing are completely different Tier's. We ARE talking about Pro vs Amateur. In the PoT world, it is the techniques that decide who is strong and who is weak. If Sanada and Yukimura played Golden Pair, Golden pair would lose, regardless of Synchro.

*Eiji hits the ball to Sanada*
(Sanada returns with Rai)
*Eiji dies*

先週テニスを忘れてしまった王子様。まあ一番テニスを忘れてるのは許斐先生なんですが。
Last week, the Prince forgot how to play tennis. Hmmm, why did Konomi-sensei make the number one tennis player forget how to play.

・我がデータにより明明白白
According to my data, it is evident that...

無駄に四文字熟語を繰り出す柳。作者が荒木先生だったら、３ページぐらい明明白白を叫び続けてますね。
Yanagi uslesssly ends out a 4-kanji idiom. Because it seems the author is Araki-sensei, there are about 3 pages of just screaming (TL note: I have no idea who Araki-sensei is.....)


・赤い目の奴にトルネードスネイクは効かないぞ
It seems the Tornado Snake isn't effective against that red eyed bastard

ついに範囲攻撃を繰り出してきた切原。おそらく属性はギラ系。
Kirihara finally comes out with a big counter attack against it. Perhaps, that is due to his flashy style.

Inui's glasses

Might the "veil" surrounding Inui finally life and the truth of his appearance made known?

Hmm...an odd spoiler at best. very vague and there is a lot of odd commentary by the author of the spoiler.

[Fuji]

Yah it seems to vague to be true. Although the Tornado snake not working on Kirihara seems both plausible and fake at the same time.

The glasses thing could reveal why Inui wears glasses or something... Seems like I will just have to wait till tomorrow to find out what will happen.

[Moxio]

Whoa , weird spoiler...

[dandy65]

Maybe Inui's glasses was....2kg heavy! :O When he took it off, his head was faster and so was his movement! Lol

They (Seigaku) so have to win this.

[Atobe the king]

Maybe Inui's glasses was....2kg heavy! :O When he took it off, his head was faster and so was his movement! Lol

They (Seigaku) so have to win this.
They (Seigaku) so DONT have to win this.

They have no businesses winning in the first place, and if kaidoh bests kirihara i will have to find and Kill konomi

[uchihaj]

I would love for Kaido to best Kidihara! It would make no sense!

[HikaruYami]

Hey, hey, dandy! While it would be ridiculously hilarious and retarded if Seigaku won doubles 2, that's NOT what this manga is about! We've known for quite a while that if Tezuka lost, we would take the last 3 matches with Fuji, the Golden Pair, and Echizen. If Doubles 2 wins somehow, Konomi should just kill himself. Inui is around Yanagi's level, but I really believe that Yanagi has been practicing even more than Inui because of it. And like Atobe said, Kaidou has no right to come near Kirihara. Chance of a legitimate victory: 0%.

Ah, and thanks very much for the trans, Sai! Though I believe it's false as well....

[bax]

The RAW is out guys!!! Get it HERE (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17248)!!

Now.. go ahead and discuss the chapter here :amuse Let see what's your thought about this chapter ^^

Happy discussing ^^

[Atobe the king]

I always knew Akaya could kill people, this is no surprise to me

Non arrogant/amnesiac/n00b ryoma is quite funny looking

[Fayte]

I'm sure none of us are surprised at which team is dominating.

[Atobe the king]

Fate do you ever check your PM's

It was given, most is rikkai is superior, when they appeared they were all dubbed "Tezuka class" players, however when they showed Niou i for a second i was like it's not Akaya

[Sai_the_Shaman]

Hmmm next chapter we will see a slight comeback from Kaidou/Inui simply because Konomi always puts in at least small comebacks. However, Renji is too good at Mind games and Kirihara still has his stage 2 of Devil Mode (where his body gets dark). That will probably be the deciding factor in how they'll win.

[shahrizal85]

Maybe Inui and Kaidoh would have some showdown, but I still think this match would be another lost for Seigaku since Kirihara in his devil mode is too much for Inui and Kaidoh to handle.

[krazy_k]

anyone else apart from me notice that the strange spoilers posted were quite true?

[Sai_the_Shaman]

anyone else apart from me notice that the strange spoilers posted were quite true?

Well the spoilers are usually true, its just that the spoiler writer on 2ch tends to also blend in his own commentary to them...so it's hard to tell which is the spoiler and which is the commentary sometimes. Also, he tends to write the spoilers in very vague sentences, so it's also hard to make-out what's happening.

[krazy_k]

~renji opened his eyes~ even if they were only slits, it proves something i dont know wat...

[Fayte]

Renji is so awesome when he opens his eyes. Just shows that he is serious.

[Fuji]

I don't see this match lasting for longer than three more chapters. If it does I am going to cry...

[Atobe the king]

Renji is so awesome when he opens his eyes. Just shows that he is serious.

Aren't Renji's eyes always slit?

[krazy_k]

Aren't Renji's eyes always slit?

no i think they're normally closed like fuji's cept not smiling-ish

[krazy_k]

just wondering how he gets the spoilers?

[Fayte]

Renji can be compared to Gin from Bleach. His eyes are always closed, except when serious.

[dandy65]

Kirihara is scary. Does Echizen get to play if Seigaku loses this one?

[Atobe the king]

Renji can be compared to Gin from Bleach. His eyes are always closed, except when serious.

Cosmetically yes, but realistically that makes no sence lol

anyway i read on Wiki that his eyes are open but very slightly

[Fayte]

Wikipedia's for noobs

[krazy_k]

somehow i think that ryoma's faking his amnesia, anyone agree with me or is it just my wierd mind...~?

[Atobe the king]

he's too cocky to fake amnesia
most agree that this is a side effect of PoP

[Babii-Boo]

I was hoping Echizen will show up more in this chapter, but it's still pretty funny, seeing Echizen's 'soft' side XD

I think this match is going to focus on Kirihara most, showing us how he's become stronger.

[Tenshi123]

somehow i think that ryoma's faking his amnesia, anyone agree with me or is it just my wierd mind...~?


he's too cocky to fake amnesia

Yeah, I so can't see Ryoma faking it. There's just no way.

[Babii-Boo]

What the HECK?
Echizen... amnesia?
Thats very...... random, but fits.
Maybe its the after effects of the PoP... I'm sure we'll get a scientific explanation about it sooner or later.

[HikaruYami]

what do you mean? He steals it. He reads the chapter, or at least gets to look at it somewhat, then writes a brief summary online for self-gratification and praise/thanks from others.

I'm fairly sure the spoiler guys usually work for the manga companies, like the printers of Jump, etc., and are just fairly sneaky and/or underhanded, but I have heard of people actually stealing looks at the chapters from the outside (though they never confirmed how, nor have they ever 100% confirmed that they were telling the truth and do not, in fact, work for the manga company).

And now I seriously hope that Horio dies at the end by Yukimura's hand (when he tries filling in for Echizen who's still lost his memory?), that would pwn this entire series.

Is horio even a semi-popular character in Japan? Because I was shocked to hear that all Japanese people love Tingle, so I was just kinda wondering if it was the same with this tennis-idiot.

[Fayte]

Ryoma is not faking it, that would mean amnesia is a pointless plot twist.

[Fuji]

I would crack up laughing if Horio ended up actually dying by facing Yukimura, but I doubt it will happen. Good things never happen to me, that's how I know. lol

[Atobe the king]

Horios purpose pisses me off
as does the rest of the seigaku team during the other matches

In Manga when ever some crazy stuff happens, or something the character usually explains to his opponent what he did, prince of tennis however is Tennis you dont do that in real tennis, thus you have Horio and the other spectators explaining it for you, its rather annoying

[krazy_k]

kk i get the point but wouldnt it be funny if he just decided to pull like a giant prank on the regulars just to piss them off?

I'm sorry i tend to hav a wild imagination.....:D

[trikelandie]

I agree... I really dislike Horio the other 2 stooges and Sakuno let alone Tomo-chan... I wonder why Konomi even created them... they really are annoying...

Grrr..:mad

*Sakuno and Tomo-chan are both bitches

[Atobe the king]

Konomi created them for the purpose i stated

to explain the science behind the more complicated techniques

well not so much them as with the other Seigaku regulars

[bab_gulz]

thanx for the site

[Defade]

Is horio even a semi-popular character in Japan? Because I was shocked to hear that all Japanese people love Tingle, so I was just kinda wondering if it was the same with this tennis-idiot.

I don't think so. Tingle was popular because he was eccentric and weird in his own way...and stands out with his...unusual behavior, while Horio is just the normal annoying idiot in a series.

Plus, the Japanese's brains tend to work a little different from ours.>_> Their sense of humor differs a bit, I must say, so Tingle will look like the funniest thing that has ever happened to a lot of them. Although I admit, I find the guy rather interesting too.

[HikaruYami]

Tingle is funny, but still too annoying to be likeable. He's a MALE "fairy" whose dad won't let him be a fairy, who always chooses to fly around with balloons to show that he's a fairy, and usually serves very little purpose to Link's actual grand quest, except occasionally being there to trade something for something else. And apparently, according to a certain new Japanese Tingle-centered game (that I think is actually coming out in America?!), he's also very money-obsessed.

E-etou... anyway, back on topic, it's true that Horio's purpose is very worthless and annoying, but Sakuno was obviously created to be the shy female lead "secretly" in love with the main character. I mean, it's not like she can possibly be there to tell people about what's going on, because she certainly has no idea. Tomo-chan, though, I will admit is a worthless bitch. That female reporter is too, but she at least has a decently pretty face (and most would argue that she has okay breasts, but I'm a loli guy myself).

Err, FURTHER back on topic, wasn't this topic made to discuss spoilers? I'm not sure which characters we hate is even quite as on topic as discussing a previous fake spoiler that specified a character we hate that would die.

[Atobe the king]

The Japanese opinion is ather different

In other popularity polls for other manga, the villians are always at the bottom and the heroes are always at the top

However the last PoT popularity poll had Atobe at #1 where he should be

[gigantor21]

^ In terms of character depth, charisma, and overall quality:

Hyotei>Rikkaidai>>>Seigaku : Atobe>Sanada>>>Tezuka

And the other regulars, especially Inui and Fuji, do a much better job with match commentary, so that can't be Horio's main purpose. My guess is that Konomi wanted a "foil" character for Echizen on the team, since Nanjirou can't be around all the time. It would've worked a lot better if Horio was actually likeable, though (since Ryoma isn't)--just like Tomoka would be a better groupie if she weren't so fucking annoying. Sakuno is even more pointless, since she won't confess until the end, but she's okay overall so I don't really mind it.

By the way, have you seen "Atobe's Gift"? If so, what did you think? I'm just wondering, since you seem like a big Atobe fan.

[Atobe the king]

I agree completely, Hyotei is the best team, i try to give the main characters a chance but in terms of overall quality they bore me

Hyoteis entire roster rocks, and Atobe is a cool character who i have fun drawing, i just hate his hair color in the manga.

As for Atobe's Gift,i read about it on wiki, but i avoided PoT filler, then again a third of the Anime is

Well i just started college, if i get the chance i will check it out

[Fayte]

Hyotei the best team? Atobe, Oshitari and the enbu kid are the only cool ones.

[Atobe the king]

Well thats just my opinion lol

And i neglected to remove kabaji from my calculations

I like them because:

Atobe- self explanitory
Oshitari- always cool and collected nice character design
Gakuto- Also cool character design, and jumping like 25 feet in the Air
Hiyoshi- as you quite aptly put, the enbu kid
Choratoh/shishido- my favorite doubles team
Jirou- The most realistic member on the team, and a loveable character

As for Rikkai, i love them all character design wise, but i like Sanada, Kirihara, Renji and Yukimura the most

[gigantor21]

Hyotei the best team? Atobe, Oshitari and the enbu kid are the only cool ones.

I based that mostly on how I feel about each player, and weighed it against how I felt about the team overall. It's not meant to be fact, obviously, but I'm 100% sure that's how it pans out with me.

Hyotei is the only team in which I like just about every character individually AND their overall dynamics. As a group, Rikkai is pretty much even, but Sanada, Yukimura and Akaya carry a lot of the weight. I've never really felt much of anything for the others, particularly Bunta and Jackal, while Kabaji is the only character in that category on Hyotei's end (for obvious reasons). So my opinion's mostly based on balance.

On a side note, Shishido and Choutaro are also my favorite pair--my only real favorite pair, in fact.

[Fayte]

Gross. How can you guys like that pair? They are so friggin boring lol.. At least Marui has leet volley techniques. Choutarou has scut serve...Shishido has....speed...*falls asleep*

[Atobe the king]

Their abilities aren't the only reason, their a charismatic pair as well i like shishido's personality

[Fayte]

I guess I'm just an action guy.

[Sai_the_Shaman]

I have to ask all of you to please start moving the convo back onto topic, if you would like to continue with your conversation on hyoutei and such, please move it to the proper thread...(I think we have one on favorite schools somewhere....if not go ahead and make one)

Inui calculates probability , again. x.x

[dandy65]

What the HECK?
Echizen... amnesia?
Thats very...... random, but fits.
Maybe its the after effects of the PoP... I'm sure we'll get a scientific explanation about it sooner or later.

Maybe Echizen becomes like Kabaji lol. Amnesia knocks out the stuff out of him and he absorbs new stuff by watching in amnesia state, then when he remembers everything he's more powerful! Lol


What are you talking about? The skill difference we are comparing are completely different Tier's. We ARE talking about Pro vs Amateur. In the PoT world, it is the techniques that decide who is strong and who is weak. If Sanada and Yukimura played Golden Pair, Golden pair would lose, regardless of Synchro.

*Eiji hits the ball to Sanada*
(Sanada returns with Rai)
*Eiji dies*

Definately, there is an evident skill difference between each individual of both teams. However the disparity between Inui/Kaidoh and Renji/Kirihara is most probably less than that of Sanada/Yukimura and Eiji/Oishi so I wouldn't call it very one-sided. Kaidoh will certainly come up with a new trick.


Exactly Fuji.

What I said is true. Federer and Nadal would never beat the Bryan Brothers. And the difference in singles talent between the two is HUGE!!! Federer v Mike Bryan is the same as Sanada v Momo.

Sure, if I and someone played Federer and Nadal we'd lose. But this isn't pro v amatuer. This is the nationals (END OF THE SERIES) between two strong schools. They are both only in Jr. High. The difference in skill is (relatively) not so vast.)

Rikkaidai is said to be all Tezuka-level. If that's the case, I would call it Pro V Not very pro. Please don't assume it's end of the series, I want at least some storyline to continue even if it's crap T_T


... ...I just want to see what Yukimura can do I guess...

We all do :P

[Tsuioku]

Kirihara is scary. Does Echizen get to play if Seigaku loses this one?

I'm sure Echizen will get to play... otherwise it will mess up the story.
The tournament alternates between singles and doubles. We're only at game 2 of 5 right now.

For suspense reasons, I have a feeling that Inui/Kaidoh will win their game otherwise it will be a given that Seigaku will win Singles 2 and Doubles 1. The manga may have said that Tezuka purposefully dragged on the match to buy time for Echizen but I believe the real reason is to give an adequate reason for him to lose and provide more excitement and suspense in subsequent games.

[puma]

I agree that there will be no suspense if inui/kaidoh loose(even if it is impractical, but this is manga..). Since i am assuming that it is a given that Seigaku will win the nationals.

2 alternatives- Maybe the amnesia is just an attempt to make the final match interesting and make Seigaku appear as underdogs; Maybe it will justify Ryoma losing to Yukimura.

[puma]

But.....amnesia just seems like a lame excuse. Besides, i dont think it will be fair to Yukimura if he fights with someone with amnesia.

[HikaruYami]

About the amnesia, I'm another who agrees that it's just part of the process of PoP, probably the last part, or maybe simply a side-effect of finishing it.

But about the match... uhm, no. People who say that Inui/Kaidoh should win just for the sake of creating suspense are psycho. Kirihara should remain WAY above Kaidoh for this year, and Inui and Yanagi should be about the same (though Yanagi might be better by now). If Kaidoh somehow completely overcomes Kirihara to take the match for Seigaku, Konomi's foreshadowing and character development up to this point was WORTHLESS. Now, Oda might just throw something out the window for an interesting twist for the sake of comedy, but this manga absolutely would NOT have that done. It's just not Konomi's style.

[HikaruYami]

I find it likely that Kaidoh developed a new technique for this final match, and that Renji and Kirihara might not be able to react 1 or even 2 times (actually, they SHOULDN'T be able to react properly the very first time, since this is a manga and all newly developed (as long as they're finished) techniques work the first time), but it take more tries than that for them to counter it. But let's hope this isn't foreshadowing Kaidoh somehow besting Kirihara, because it's truly impossible. Maybe next year he could have, with his insane amount of improvement (apparently 2 decently new techniques, the boomerang and this one, along with his dramatic increase in stamina and power) this year, but as we've been saying nothing he can do can beat Kirihara.

EDIT: Well, for some reason, Sai hasn't posted this here yet, so Chinese raw, credit goes to kobashi @ the FET forums for finding it first~
http://bbs.ikunlun.net/?action=show_topic&topic_id=138311&forum_id=30&class_id=0
and yes, mods, I know perfectly well that people can't use the chinese versions for scanlations and whatever.... I just like posting it.

So I'll say it again so the mods don't have to: Do not use this version for scanlations! Not allowed~or something like that.... (*sigh* but I'm sure they'll mod up my post anyway....)
[hr]
might as well post so people actually notice that there's a link they couldn't have seen yesterday.... I just realized that if people actually notice that the last post happened yesterday, they probably wouldn't even look in the thread if they're waiting for a raw or a spoiler trans.

[bax]

The RAW is out guys!!! Get it HERE (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17649)!!

Now.. go ahead and discuss the chapter here :amuse Let see what's your thought about this chapter ^^

Happy discussing ^^

[Sai_the_Shaman]

An interesting Chapter!!! I wonder what that move Kaidou did was!!!

[dandy65]

If the chinese raw came out a little earlier, I could help to translate in case Sai isn't available o.O

[heras1985]

is true that prince of tennis will finish in 12 chapters more?

[Requiem]

An interesting Chapter!!! I wonder what that move Kaidou did was!!!

I think is Yagyuu's Laser, before the National they switched their role in the double against Murigaoka

[dandy65]

I think is Yagyuu's Laser, before the National they switched their role in the double against Murigaoka

DEFINATELY. As we can see his ending stance with his right hand lifted and left hand looking cool, and on the second last frame in the last page, Yagyuu says/thinks ,"Impossible..."

:D

[dandy65]

is true that prince of tennis will finish in 12 chapters more?

I don't think so. It's hardly the climax yet, and Echizen will definately play. So it would take more than 12.

[Fuji]

That would be awesome if it was the laser, but I have a feeling it's something simpler. If Kaido's stamina pulls them through this match I will be very angry with Konomi...

[Fayte]

It is the laser. The stance is the same, the shot itself is the same, Yagyuu's reaction shows it is the same.

[Crayola]

Hmmmm... Do you think he might've jumped in to the world of SoSA. Because even though he did do the laser in an earlier chapter, it wasn't refined and was not as fast as Yagyuu's laser. It may very well be the laser, but I don't see why adding that to his arsenal would make a huge difference, enough so as to get a point from Renji and Kirihara who have undoubtedly seen this shot many many times.

[Fayte]

Atobe used Higuma Otoshi without SoSA. It wouldn't make a difference.

[puma]

I dont mind that konomi wants to acknowledge kaidoh's stamina. As long as Rikkidai wins this match, thats ok. But then again, the winners of the remaining matches will be a given. UNLESS... konomi enters a state of amnesia and makes Rikkidai win the Nationals hmmm.

[krazy_k]

they make a big dramatic scene about inui's glasses falling but we still dont get to see his eyes properly.....we see renji's not so slitted eyes again and oshitari's without his glasses again~~he looked so funny without them and inui looked so funny with them......

kaidoh probably did the laserbeam or some version of it and ends up getting named something ridiculous by the freshmen well that'd be funny..

i was actually looking forward to kaido blowing up or something after kirihar's shot from previous chapters.....

[krazy_k]

But.....amnesia just seems like a lame excuse. Besides, i dont think it will be fair to Yukimura if he fights with someone with amnesia.

you've seen yukimura's face/eyes in some of the scenes havent you? he doesnt look like the kind of person that would car whether or not his opponent has amnesia as long as he wins....

[Atobe the king]

Hmmmm... Do you think he might've jumped in to the world of SoSA. Because even though he did do the laser in an earlier chapter, it wasn't refined and was not as fast as Yagyuu's laser. It may very well be the laser, but I don't see why adding that to his arsenal would make a huge difference, enough so as to get a point from Renji and Kirihara who have undoubtedly seen this shot many many times.

You saying this means that SoSA has been abused

however you don't need SoSA to copy, SoSA isn't really a copy its more of a blitz of the random, Ryoma did the snake, the rising, and the Zero Shiki drop prior to learning any SoSA

As for this chapter, it was meh to me

I want to see more of Akaya, and Fayte could you or a prominent rikkai fan explain what they meant about Renji? i just skimmed the chapter rather than read it so...

[Tenshi123]

Yeah, I think it was the Laser Beam, too. Everything adds up.

[dandy65]

Ok i'll explain...I hope I'm on the right track...I shall quote the characters in the manga!




English Version:
However, as we expected of Yanagi [Renji]...he is easily manipulating that red-eyed Akaya.

Chinese Version:
As expected of Yanagi[Renji]...he can skillfully manipulate the red-eyed Akaya




English Version:
Yeah...even his Devil

Chinese Version:
That's right, it doesn't matter even if it's Devil

Btw i'm comparing with both versions because they ways they are written might be a little different :P

It means Renji can control Akaya very well, even if Akaya is in his Devil mode.




English Version:
Because Renji is in doubles, his true worth is being shown.

Chinese Version:
By playing in doubles, Renji can greatly show his true worth.

I guess Renji is stronger in doubles than singles? o.O

[Fuji]

Yah, that's what it seems like, which makes sense. If he is able to calculate so well he can dismantle two opponents and bring out the true strength of his partner. That is another reason why I think Kaidoh and Inui is such a good partnership. They accent each other extremely well.

The same goes for Renji and Kirihara. Renji controls Kirihara's rage and prevents him from overly hurting his opponent while analyzing data which makes the match that much smoother for them.

[Sai_the_Shaman]

Ok i'll explain...I hope I'm on the right track...I shall quote the characters in the manga!

Btw i'm comparing with both versions because they ways they are written might be a little different :P

It means Renji can control Akaya very well, even if Akaya is in his Devil mode.

I guess Renji is stronger in doubles than singles? o.O

I'll clear it up the best I can. This chapter's title is "The Master Beast Tamer" and that refers to Renji being able to control Akaya. Furthermore we already know Renji as an established doubles player back when he and Inui were partners. So, what we can assume from this is that Renji has an uncanny ability to manipulate his partners perfectly, despite who they are, so that they can work as a team much more efficiently.

It does seem now that Kaidou did perform the Laser Beam (which in real life isn't all that hard a shot to do....though it is if you want to end in that specific stance) though it probably would not have been as fast as Yagyuu's Laser. I foresee that it is only a temporary set back to Rikkai as they probably did not know Kaidou played with Yagyuu that one time before.

[alexlw92]

umm, if you calculate it out

2 more chapters inui-kaidoh
4-6 fuji
4-6 golden pair
6+ echizen

so that would be 16-20+

and theres probably gonna be an epilogue chapter, which is gonna be after the "zomg we won" chapter, so id say 18-22+ chapters left, minimum

[Fayte]

Also, adding onto what Sai said:

If you notice, since the beginning of the match, Akaya has been unusually supportive. Remember that is the main reason why we thought he would never be a good doubles player. However if Akaya was paired with any other player, chances are he would just be his normal self. The ball hog. It is as Sai said, Renji is able to control his doubles partner.

[krazy_k]

lol the zomg we won chapter i dont know why but i find that funny the wording that is....

i dont think its gonna take 6 chapters for ryoma's match unless there's like some flashback inserted into it...

and its not yet decided that seigaku will win.......i'm kinda hopin for rikkai to win

[dandy65]

[Azurel]

Urgh, I can't believe Tezuka lost that way. I don't think it's wrong for him to lose once in a while but why is it at both times he's sacrificing his arm just so his team can "move on" yet TERRIBLY failing to do so because he LOST. -_-; His motivation is just so selfless and just makes me wanna scream at him to wake up and think of his own future for once; I mean what if he really loses his arm and can't play tennis any more. There goes his future as a tennis pro player. ah, I must remind myself Tezuka isn't a real person :XD

[Azurel]

omg, seeing Ryome so docile just left me speechless. but it made him cute, in a way. :D

[HikaruYami]

so, counting this week, that gives us 16 (Edit: or is it 15 after last week? can't remember, don't keep up with issue #s) chapters to end it. My guess is 2 more for this match (1 to let Kirihara counter Kaidoh and 1 for the absolute finale of the match), 4 for singles 2 (5 if you want to count the small part of the chapter that would also be the end of doubles 2), 4 for doubles 1 (because it will probably only be 1 page at the end of singles 2 that shows the golden pair stepping forward, I won't count that), 5 for singles 1, and an epilogue chapter.

just guessing, of course. I wish it could be Tezuka-length matches for all the ones Seigaku should win, though (singles 2 thru singles 1).

Though there's still the chance that Yukimura comes up in Singles 2 to annihilate Fuji and Rikkai wins their 4th championship.... Or even worse, Yukimura and Echizen take Singles 2 and Yukimura somehow beats Echizen....

But it honestly can't end in Singles 2, right? The Golden Pair has to win!!! So for the GP to win, they have to PLAY! And that means that singles 2 and doubles 1 both win, leaving only Echizen vs. Yukimura as the option for Singles 1....

If this all of a sudden pulls a Shaman King... DEATH.....

2nd edit:according to the FET forum... etou... well, they're saying that issue 52 is only 12 away. But that can't be right, can it? Your topic says issue 48 is that far away.

[Fuji]

Well, with only 16 chapters to go, this should only be a temporary setback. I think the score will be closer like 6-1, possibly 6-2. But Renji is the Master, he has to know how to counter the laser.

THis makes me wonder if Yukimura will indeed play singles 2. I think it would be a closer and better match than if Fuji played Marui or Jackal, or even Yagyuu, who has been shown to play singles before.

I think this would give more time for an ending, and losing at the nationals would be an excellent stimulus to bring Echizen back and face Yukimura in the final showdown.

[rilina]

Chapter 356 was in Issue 40, so yeah, 12 more chapters. I think the confusion is that the different series endings are beginning in issue 48, but they aren't all happening in the same issue. PoT is the last one in the list in 52.

btw, what was that shot that renji used, the cicada thing. it looked like a zero shiki, only without all the "oohs" and "ahhs"

[dandy65]

I think it rolls forward instead of backward?

[delvis203]

ya this may be kind of off of subject but
who knows where to watch the prince of tennis episodes National Semifinals
episode 16 and up
please either post it or email it to me
thanks

[Atobe the king]

Was it even released?

[gigantor21]

^ The first two were, with the Fudomine-Shitenhouji match and the Fuji-Shiraishi match. I don't remember where I got them, though...

[heras1985]

episode 16 of national semifinal go out 28 of september,
the before chapters in youtube.com

[Fayte]

Its actually september 25th I believe.

[Fayte]

Its just a tan-serve without the serve.

[gigantor21]

^ That'll be the one with the gay clown troupe, right? I'm gonna pass on that one. I'm more interested in seeing what they'll do with the Gin-Kawamura match, since there isn't much material to go on.

[Fayte]

16 and 17 are going to be released. So the gay pair and the Gin match. I am not looking forward to either of them.

[gigantor21]

^ Makes sense. Fuji-Shiraishi was, to be blunt, the last legitimately good match in the series. Besides the reason I posted above, I want to see what they do with Gin-Kawamura because Kawamura is one of my favorite characters.

[Atobe the king]

I actually want to see Ryoma's and Kintaro's one point match

[Requiem]

the double was a little boring, I'm looking for Kawamura's match to see how can they put that much blood in an anime

[gigantor21]

^ Compared to, say, Berserk and Akira, that shit is weak sauce.

Atobe - The ending of that match ruined it for me. I mean, come on--the ball got cut in half? That's such a pussy way out. It's not like we're ever going to see Kintarou play again.

Plus, I worry that the match will only have average animation, relative to the other episodes. Just like Ryoma-Atobe.

[Atobe the king]

All the ovas have good quality when compared to the rest of the series, i watched Atobe and Tezuka and the animation was poor, i think the animation was good up until 14 and 15

on topic/ any other spoiler is there a chapter this week

[Allashandra]

The RAW is out guys!!! Get it HERE!! (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=522024)

Now.. go ahead and discuss the chapter here Let see what's your thought about this chapter ^^

Happy discussing ^^

[Fayte]

Kaidoh is like Shinjyo on the Jyousei Shonan filler school. Same form, different shots. That will be funny if Renji beats his technique with a twist hit like Echizen did >_>

[alexlw92]

isnt the laser beam a backhanded shot, and tornado snake a forehanded?

[KuwabaraTheMan]

That's a pretty incredible skill that Kaidoh has picked up. Being able to hit either a straight or a curved shot with the same form, not to mention the gyro he added on the Laser Beam.

I'm wondering how Kirihara is going to counter this next week, not to mention what Yanagi will be able to do against this.

[TEK]

I think Kirihara will counter this by increasing his speed an power even more by going into the full devil mode like he did against the Nagoya's player Krauser. But either way I have a feeling Rikkai will win this one since both of the players on the Doubles 2 team of Rikkai lost their matches against Seigaku last time.

[alexlw92]

everyone already knows rikkai is gonna win this. fuji cant lose again, golden pair lost too much before this and echizen is gonna pwn with PoP. theres only 12 chapters left, and theyve already talked too much about PoP and SoSA to not use it, and we already know its gonna pwn

[Atobe the king]

He beat blood out of Devil boy

Kaidoh is screwed now

When Kirihara hits you its okay
when you hit Kirihara he hits you harder

As i said kaido has no business beating besting Akaya

He will be massacred in the next chapter probably by the Super Devil mode

[dandy65]

Seaweed Hair Bastard will turn into Seaweed White-Haired Monster! I bet sea monsters are scarier than snakes. Fssshhhh..

[krazy_k]

after reading this chapter i have serious doubts about being satisfied with PoT ending in 12/16 chapters....

i wonder if kirihara's eyes would change multicoloured instead of red....i still think that if inui plays without his glasses something dramatic will happen....

[puma]

everyone already knows rikkai is gonna win this. fuji cant lose again, golden pair lost too much before this and echizen is gonna pwn with PoP. theres only 12 chapters left, and theyve already talked too much about PoP and SoSA to not use it, and we already know its gonna pwn

I agree. Except if Konomi decides to let Rikkai win the nationals and end the PoP with a different spin. But that is highly unlikely.

[Tenshi123]

Yeah, I'm thinking after being provoked like that, Kirihara's going all red.

[alexlw92]

kirihara cursed seal level 2

maybe he'll sprout some wings and fly!

[delvis203]

wait what do you guys mean
hasnt the episodes already come out
they said its out already in japen like long time ago

[Atobe the king]

The TV anime is done but theres an OVA still going

[gigantor21]

^ On the OVA's, you're right. The animation kicks ass overall. But what bothered me was how the 2 matches before looked better than Ryoma-Atobe; the GP's match was the best looking one so far, next to Tezuka-Eishirou. And it's not like there aren't any bad looking episodes--just look at Momo-Oshitari. That was almost as bad as the original series.

I just hope they prioritize the matches better this time. If they don't put as much into the next 2 for the sakes of Tezuka and Ryoma, then I'm completely okay with it. Because that makes sense.

[Sai_the_Shaman]

I predict the next chapter will move relatively fast and end the doubles 2 match up. I see Kirihara going into his Full Devil mode and dominating with some resistance from Kaidou. The end of the chapter will announce the singles 2 players. (only 11 more chapters till the end)

[Urahara]

I predict that Yukimura plays singles 2. Two of the three demons have already played and Kirihara is in devil mode, so that would suggest to me that they want the quick victory. So even though I'm amazed that the ref didn't call the match after 15 minutes of kirihara on the ground, the match will end this coming chapter. Followed by probably 8 chapters of Ryoma s Yukimura. Then two recap and wrap up chapters after to give us who wins.

[luxxifer]

There's only 12 chapters of PoT left???????!!!!!!!!!!!:o :o :o :o

[alexlw92]

yea, thats pretty much fact now. they better be 12 damn long chapters though

[delvis203]

so then where can i watch episode 16 and higher
bye the way i think the episode with Fuji losing was totaly stupid
comon sense your using the same atack over and over and you notice is not working then use one of your other 4 counter they worked pefectly
that ep was the one of the most stupidest i haver ever seen
dont you guys agree????

Well..I think he couldn't react to it the first 3 times.
On the last shot he was going to turn the game back to his favour with White Dragon but missed...sigh.

About the 15 minutes thing, I think what Kaidoh means is the 15 minutes(what Kirihara promised to beat Seigaku in) is over and Kaidoh is making fun of Kirihara for not fulfilling the 15 minutes win. If you referred to the start of this match-up, Kirihara says "15 minutes is more than enough". Lol :o


There's only 12 chapters of PoT left???????!!!!!!!!!!!:o :o :o :o

11 actually, if you count this one :O

[HikaruYami]

no, dandy, he's complaining that even after Shiraishi successfully countered Fuji's ultimate attack once, Fuji KEPT using it. He must have used it like 4+ times to NO avail after he was sure Shiraishi could always counter it. What Fuji should have done is start to rotate through his new, improved Triple Counters that Shiraishi had not yet learned to counter instead of using his now-futile Final Counter. I remember it in the manga, too, it seemed like a pretty stupid idea for him to do what he did.

But it was a really good match because of everything that happened beforehand.

Though Shiraishi probably was a better tennis player than Fuji (though Fuji is certainly a more intelligent player), so I'm not shocked that they had Shiraishi win. Though that "Perfect Tennis" thing pissed me off, because if it was perfect it would be TMnK and Fuji wouldn't have scored a single point!

[Atobe the king]

actually shiriashi was just better, period he bested all of fuji's moves using a superior intellect

You return Tsubame Gaeshi before it bounces
You use Hakugeis path to your advantage
You defeated higuma otoshi with a smash too strong

SHiriaishi was better and far cooler, he deserved his victory

[Slippers]

:O Only 11 chapters left?
I didn't know that!

[puma]

The plot line has dwindled. I mean after the nationals, most of the characters graduate. So I believe its wise to end it soon. He can later do a spin on the senior school tennis and all that.

[puma]

Not knocking Shiriasi, But didnt shiriashi himself implied that fuji would have won if he had been as serious as he was at the end?

[krazy_k]

what like 2 years later ryoma enters highschool and he just happens to be in the same tennis team as everyone else again....and everyone else happens to be regulars too.....that be so weird....but if konomi changes the charectars its gonna be like gundam seed and seed destiny....

[delvis203]

aaahh thanks for the backup kakyuuin
excactly
fuji could have won easily
that ep was stupid and shiriasi sucks
hey whos seen how atobe looks like after he went bald

[HikaruYami]

dude, his name is puma. kakyuuin is his rank. You shouldn't call people by their rank unless you're higher than them.... ALOT higher.... and even then it sounds obnoxious....

anyway, shiraishi is a better player on average compared to Fuji, but the fact is that he never countered Fuji's improved 3x counters, which means if Fuji had used those more, it could have gone either way, honestly. I'm personally hoping to see more of that in Fuji's dominating (it damn well better be, unless it's Yukimura playing and Konomi really does want to screw over the audience) performance in Singles 2, rather than just seeing him attempt 24 failed final counters in a row at the end of the match for the loss (wouldn't that suck?!?!).

[rikki]

Only 11 more chapters? Well, I guess it would've had to end eventually.

Kinda sad to an extent as this was the only real manga I kept up to date with each week.

[trikelandie]

I think this conversation is somehow drifting more and more out of the thread anyway, i might as well comment then

delvis203 is it not kinda obvious that you are a major fuji fan like heaps of others out there.

Yes Fuji may look good and easily attracts heaps of people to like him BUT sadly the truth is Fuji is NOT the best in tennis in PoT. There are players far better than him in PoT and you just gotta except that Fuji is NOT the best.

Well for the Shiriashi and Fuji's match, Shiriashi managed to defeat Fuji's final counter during the match which means that he is an extremely talented player.

And no I am not a Shiriashi fan. I am just writing what i believe is to be right.

*By the way, Atobe did not go bald he only got the sides of his hair shaved :)

[Sai_the_Shaman]

Sure, delvis, let me direct you to the OVA Discussion Thread (http://www.mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14474).

I wish spoilers were out so we could have something to legitimately discuss here, but we can't actually EXPECT anything like that until Fridays~

[V3gas]

I'm hoping for more than 11 chapters from Konomi. It would be sad if the most important matches had to be very speedy. PoT has been going on for a long time, so it's a pity that it ends so soon =/

[delvis203]

well then since we are in the proper place lets begin where we where left of.
Yes im a Fuji fan but i know fuji is not the best many a people can beat him but im just saying that Fuji could have beaten Shiriashi very easilly if he would have played smart.
Where can i see Atobe parshly bald.

テニス

・センターカラー

青学レギュラー勢ぞろいなカラーが綺麗ですねー。うん、大石どこいった。

なんか約一名判別不可能なキャラが居ますが、これが大石だといいたいんでしょうか。


・テメーも赤く染めてやろうか？

怖っ！デビル怖っ！

突然ホラー漫画化に走った今週のテニス。とりあえず切原、鼻血を拭け。


・ヒャッヒャッヒャッヒャッヒャッヒャ

でましたでました。フリーザ第三形態。ピッコロさんを苛めるな！


先週突然無敵となった海堂を無視し、ヨレヨレのメガネを一方的にボコる海中植物。

関係ありませんが、アカヤ→アカメ→ワカメ と、マジカルチェンジが成立してるのが気になります。

とりあえずヒャッヒャッヒャ言う前に鼻血を拭け。


・汚ねーぞ切原！挑発したのは俺だろ！俺を狙え！

普通の人だったら殺人テニスのターゲットから外れている現状にスエルニーと喜ぶところですが、

叫びながら悔しがる海堂。彼はマゾなんでしょうか。

まあこれが夜神ライトだったら、計画通りとか言いながらニヤリと笑ってますが。（乾殺害プロジェクト）


・デビル海堂

か、海堂くん！？海堂くん！？


誰か許斐先生の暴走を止めてください。

そもそもデビル化は、切原が魔族だから可能なわけで、

わりと一般人な海堂が変身しだしたら、そこら辺がデビルだらけになってしまいますし。

それとも、「誰の心にも悪魔は潜んでいるんだよ」　という許斐先生からの隠されたメッセージなんでしょうか。


・あくまでもデータ収集を！？

なんか悪魔本人がダジャレ言ってますが。ってか切原、鼻血はどうした。

海堂変身中の一瞬の隙をつきどっかで拭いたんでしょうか。


・データは取れたぞ・・・

何のデータが取れたのかさっぱり分かりませんが、お陰でデビル海堂の進化が止まってしまいました。

キャンセルボタン連打はポケモンが可愛そうよ。


・倒れる乾

えーと、死にました。死にました。


まだ脈を取っていないので死亡は確認されていませんが、

乾との思い出が走馬灯で駆け巡ってますし、見開きまで使って倒れてますし、

煽りが乾へのレイクエムですし、以上の理由から完全に死んだのは間違いないでしょう。



これで試合は終わりですかねー。

Yay! Thanks so much for the spoiler, dokoham!! Seems like we can always count on you now!

"You are hard on the piccolo!"

You have to love babelshit transes! Anyway, I can't really gather what any of it means from the full (babelfish) trans of the spoiler.

[gigantor21]

^ HOLY SHIT! IS THIS CHAPTER A DBZ CROSSOVER!?!?!?!?!

Seriously, though, online translations are great. That's stuff you can't just make up off the top of your head.

Pls can someone translate Dokoham's spoiler?

[delvis203]

i think i can decode it but
the only thin is that i dont have any of languge cd to understand

[FuuRinKaInZan]

IMHO, Fuji still wouldn't have won even if he would have played smart because all shiraishi had to do was abandon his perfect tennis and play his real tennis and it would have been a completely different match. We got a sneak peak in the manga when he did the unnamed shot that traveled in circles. The whole time he was saying that perfect tennis was boring and the only reason he was using it was it gave him countless victories. He has a lot up his sleeve besides perfect tennis. Even Fuji cannot defeat perfect tennis.

[Mystic Moon]

ok... i put tht trans thru a translator. Most of the words didnt really appear sho this is the best i can giv u until a pro translator comes by with the proper program. Its got somethin tu du wit Oishi and Inui it seems.

I agree with FuuRinKaInZan, Shiriaishi was just better and thats why konomi made Tezuka lose, the same reason he made Tezuka loose to show that people are better than them

I don't want Prince of Tennis to end in next 11 chapters. Oh, the Prince of Tennis OVA 16 (anime) will be out on September 28th, 2007 featuring the match between Momoshiro Takeshi & Kaidoh Kaoru versus a double pair of Shitenhouji.

"That seaweed headed bastard" is going to win. Inui can't keep up with Kirihara's strength I think. :| Still good attempt by Seigaku pair.

-----

In any case, most of the time online translations or programs don't work since the names of the people like Kaidoh (海堂) is actually Sea Shrine while Inui means Dry as a direct translation. But good effort on anyone's part who tries to translate spoilers with a machine! I tried it once and it was baaaaad considering I can't read Jap. Hah :)

[dandy65]

Talking about FuuRinKaInZanRai, how is the anime going to pull off showing In and Rai if they didn't show FuuRinKaZan in Sanada VS Echizen? :| Maybe they're going to reveal all 6 types in one match...hmm.

[Atobe the king]

Most likely, they dug them selves a hole, kinda like they did with COOL drive, making it appear that Echizen learned it in the US open

[dandy65]

Most likely, they dug them selves a hole, kinda like they did with COOL drive, making it appear that Echizen learned it in the US open

Yeah although many manga-plot-holes, the Fuji Tezuka match was quite entertaining. He (fuji)"showed his true colours", but somehow didn't own as much as during the Nationals"...weird. I think he could have plummeted Tezuka(w/o muga) with the improved counters.

Anyway OVA episode 1-2 is nice considering everyone was waiting on the tip of their seats after the last episode in the original...

[FuuRinKaInZan]

I somehow believe that they will still make a comeback but not enough to win. We have just seen kaidou's devil mode but no shots from him as yet. I see a devil vs devil battle but with kirihara winning due to more experience with the devil mode.

[jinndtonic]

omg, did kaido just go like demon????? even though it was for like a second, he looked so frikin scary and cool

[dandy65]

omg, did kaido just go like demon????? even though it was for like a second, he looked so frikin scary and cool

Yep , but he went back. Don't think he's going to Devil mode again unless Inui gets hit unconscious though. Sigh.

[Requiem]

I don't think that Inui is able to continue the match, the next chapter will show Seigaku pair's lost confirmation and who will play Singles2

[alexlw92]

i cant wait until they release this ova, and the gin-taka ova, just to see how much blood (or lack of) there is
[hr]
lq/mq scanlations almost done...

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Whoa, great chapter. This match is getting intense.

I wonder if Inui will be able to fight back, or if this is the end.

[Tenshi123]

Whoa, Kaidou went Devil Mode? No way. He shouldn't. >.< Both Kaidou and Kirihara are violent, but Kirihara actually enjoys it and Kaidou doesn't. I'm gonna snap if Kaidou snaps. *glarr* (and no, it's not a typo of glare, it's my own personal word)

[alexlw92]

even if inui can still stand, what good will he be? hes totally beaten up,and probably dizzy from blood loss xP

[Mrai]

Hi, I'm new here. I think that kaidou-Inui pair will lose this match. The golden combi has to win, Ryoma also and the other singles maybe Momoshiro will play. So I think that they will lose this doubles, although I would like to see them win. But this match will last a while longer, maybe 2-3 chapters more.

[Fayte]

Not gonna lie, I laughed so hard when Inui got dominated.

[puma]

Or maybe in the next match, Seigaku will forfeit bcos inui cant play anymore. I dont think Devil Kaidoh is still a match for the Rikkaidai pair. Except if inui goes haywire, but that will just be blllaaaaaaa...

[alexlw92]

just remembered something... about how inuisaid sumthin about who was the real man, i think he proved that hes more of a man than renji, after all that damage, and still being alive...thats gotta count for sumthin

[Atobe the king]

Am i the only one who was pissed at kaidoh's devil mode?

Kirihara Kaoken er....Devil Mode is unique to him, kaido has no business having one, hes nowhere near the top 4 of Seigaku what business does he have having Kiriharas technique

[Fayte]

It doesn't matter. Kaidoh isn't going to use it anyway because they are just going to forfeit.

[Mrai]

Am i the only one who was pissed at kaidoh's devil mode?

Kirihara Kaoken er....Devil Mode is unique to him, kaido has no business having one, hes nowhere near the top 4 of Seigaku what business does he have having Kiriharas technique

I agree with you. But more than that i think that the author has gone DBZ with these chapters. I mean devil mode, how can players hairs turn a different color. What are they Super saiyans?:smile-big

[alexlw92]

kaidoh shouldnt have a devil mode. he isnt that arrogant and his style doesnt involve directly hurting his opponents

[sfirah]

I'm actually hoping that Inui is on the floor because of his effort with the last shot of the match. That would be why everyone was so shocked with Inui and such.
I mean... Seigaku can't be down 2-0 now... The rest of the match would become quite predictable (or sad.. maybe...).
Anyways, hoping to read a "GAME SET! WON BY SEIGAKU INUI/KAIDOH PAIR! 7-5!" next week XD

[Atobe the king]

Not me Rikkai should dominate

They were described as a team filled with Tezuka class players

what does seigaku have?
Tezuka
Ryoma
Fuji

Everyone else is okay but not what you would call "tezuka class"

[dandy65]

^ What he said.

Though I like Seigaku characters, they cannot win this doubles match. Rikkai will win in straight games starting now.

[puma]

I mean... Seigaku can't be down 2-0 now... The rest of the match would become quite predictable (or sad.. maybe...).


I kinda agree. Predictions after Rikkaidai's win of this match will be a bit boring. But it will be more of a shame if Seigaku pair win this match bcos of the difference in strengh(or is it technique, wahtever) of both parties.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

That's the problem of going down 2-0. It creates drama, but it removes suspense. There'd be no doubts about the results of the next two matches, while if Kaidoh and Inui win, we could have a more suspenseful Singles 2 match.

But Inui appears to be at his limit.

[kyrillos]

"The data has been collected" - that was what Inui said, so I'd say they'll make a comeback next chapter, but who'll win is difficult to tell since Inui's almost beaten to a pulp.

[alexlw92]

konami wouldnt make seigaku lose. theyve nvr lost before this, and it wouldnt make sense for them to lose now. and another "one ball one point" think like with kintaro would be kinda retarted, and we need to see yukumura play

[kyrillos]

It will reach Singles 1, but on what the match score for the first to matches will be is still unknown. Will it be 0-2 for Rikkaidai, or 1-1.

[Atobe the king]

Seigaku losing would be an interesting outcome, kinda like a welcome back to the real world from Konomi

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Seigaku losing to Rikkaidai would have made more sense the first time they faced, with the Nationals still ahead.

If the series is ending in 9 weeks, I can't see Konomi ending the series with Seigaku losing.

[puma]

Totally agree with u that if they had lost the first time(as they should SERIOUSLY have), then things would have been more interesting and their winning the Nationals will have more meaning(manga-style).

I am guessing Konomi may have more to loose than just some fan base, if Rikkaidai wins the nationals.

[krazy_k]

it'd be totally awesome if rikkai wins the nationals....but u no wat'd be really sad~? if konomi decides to be evil and never let us see yukimura play....

[puma]

He cant be that evil, Yukimura will play(fingers crossed).
I just dont fancy the idea that he is going to loose(based on Seigaku national win).

[Atobe the king]

Yukimura isnt even a player, hes a presence, i think Fayte said that and i agree

Its like Sephiroth from FF7 hes not a acharacter anymore he's CG battle porn (quoted from some Gamefaqs user)

He will play and 9 weeks doesn't seem like neough time at all

Its too abrubt and rather dissapointing to me

[alexlw92]

konami probably wont make seigaku lose, unless he wants mail bombs from all the PoT fans in the world (not me tho, i wouldnt. the shipping would cost too much =D)

[V3gas]

We can't trust the rumor a 100% (that about PoT ending in 9 weeks), so if Konomi and the Jump people haven't gone totally crazy I think it will end much later...

[puma]

But if it doesnt end in 9 weeks, Konomi may have to come up with a plot line that will once again involve all 9 Seigaku players No? Seeing as 4 are already graduating..... Well, I'll have to wait and see.

[Atobe the king]

Actually its 6 members graduating, which leaves....

Ryoma, Kaidoh, Momo......and maybe Arai

Yea seigaku is screwed, not even Ryoma can carry a whole team

But its not just them though

Hyotei has Choutaro, Kabaji and Enbu- master Hiyoshi
Rikkai only has Kirihara

[Mystic Moon]

XP lol cute commentary. Sorry i cudnt do too much but hey, who can read BOXED japanese? If it was symbols then the other trans wud do it but seriously, whys jap made into BOXES of all things when its typed out? Thts so weird.

Nd yeah, the the trans site isnt all tht good sho nyeh lets jus liv wit it now =D. I think i c where the murder tennis part comes in. Tht is, if u read PoT 358 yu shud c where tht comes from but shyt man. Thts some serious blood-shed >.>

I can't help but think that you're... some kind of idiot. I mean, it's not so bad that you don't have the Jap language pack installed, that you don't know that you NEED the language pack. You don't have it installed on your computer, which, depending on the computer, could turn it into boxes or random characters that almost look similar to the japanese characters. (&$$,1M*%$, as an example. Not that it really makes sense)

So yeah, get it installed and it will be normal Japanese... I promise, all of these Japanese characters don't show up as boxes to everyone else ``>.< Except that one katakana that really is a box, of course~
If I misunderstood, then I guess I apologize, but seriously, you're making yourself sound stupid.

Quick summary (in class right now and don't have the time to give a line by line.

Akaya taunts Kaidou and Inui telling them that the Nationals are over for them

Inui and Kaidou lose then they talk about Kaidou's devil mode a bit.

Inui wondersif Fuji will be alright in Singles 2

"Game 2-0 Fuji" "Triple Counter Hakuryuu" (He is facing Niou)

The crowd is amazed how strong Fuji is

Niou is excited because it's more interesting/fun with Fuji being this strong (I think it's niou, doesnt say int eh summary)

Seigaku ppl is surprised that Fuji is in his serious mode so quickly.

the Coach (I assume Ryuzaki) comments how Fuji doesn't intend for it to be his last counter and how he aims to achieve higher levels of play

Captain (I assume Tezuka): Fuji...you have...


Fuji uses his Fifth Counter GateKeeper of Hecatoncheires"

Saigaku ppl comment about how he says fifth instead of final (implying a 6th counter or more...)

last line I can't read some of the kanji, but it talks about Fuji having a huge evolution.

[puma]

Thanks so much for the quick summary Sai. I got the gist of it.
Looks like wants the fuji-Niou fight may end with two chapters (has someone predicted this?).

as expected! (inuikai lost)
now... on to some fujilicious play
:mad and i was so hoping that singles 2 would be fuji x yukimura

What a turn of events. Inui's dream rocks lol

Happy discussing ^^

[Fayte]

Wth? did Kishimoto screw up? On the scoreboard it says that singles 3 was 7-6, doubles 2 was 5-1, and singles 2 is 5-0.

Considering Sanada won 7-5
I'm guessing Kirihara and Renji won by default at 5-1
And wtf@ Niou leading 5-0?

edit:
my bad, I just saw that it was "before" the dream.

-Kishimoto still screwed up Sanada's score

[Sai_the_Shaman]

lol read the translation Fayte, that part was a dream and Inui/Kaidou lost by default

btw, it's Konomi not Kishimoto lol

[Fayte]

Wow, I need to start being active again, and stop reading Naruto.

[bmoredragon]

hey was up everyone new here, I have been watching PoT since the beginning of this year and found out somehow that there was supposed to be a OVA 2 if you guys have any info on the episodes I can watch I would greatly appreciate it also episode 12 from the first OVA I do not have. Greatly appreciate your help, O and feel free to drop me a line or some advice lol I need it.

Haha no worries. I thought Sanada beat Tezuka on a tie breaker? Hmm maybe I rememeberd wrong lol. Oh yeah Niou's move in the dream is cool o.o

[alexlw92]

hmm, gonna try the meteo drive tmr.
doubt it gonna go in

so any ideas what the final counter is gonna be?

[dandy65]

Uh. The counterspin of Fuji is so high the ball hits the opponent's court and bursts on impact.
