I don't expect you to add this but once when I entered Atobe's name on google I stumbled across a bunch of websites (like this one: http://www.absoluteanime.com/prince_of_tennis/atobe.htm) that stated his nickname was Monkey King by Echizen. I don't know which episode/chapter this came from though...

Anyways, maybe for Echizen, instead of 'madamada' you should put 'mada mada dane'. :D

As for nicknames WE have for the characters, isn't there already a thread for that? http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50724

[Bowser]

ok forget about that then :P

[javimgol]

You forget many the Kikumaru catchphrases like "V,V,P", "Better luck, next time" and a lot more.
A nick of Ryoma is "O-Chibi", from Eiji, too.
Golden Pair is a nickname

And if you are bored, real this page with more PoT information that you can remember in yur life :p http://fet.fudomine.org/index.php?nb08

[Atobe the king]

Atobe is also nicknamed monkey king by Echizen, Sea dragon was right

Some of these appear frequently in the games

Kirihara - "geniuses are fragile"
Yanagi - ".........is that what you were going to say"
Echizen - "don't underestimate tennis"

Other nicknames

Echizen - Koshimae, Samurai JR
Oishi- Yakiniku Magistrate
Yanagi - Our strategist/Brain (by Nio)

[javimgol]

One thing: the names "Emerald Pear, Dream Pair, Silver Pair..." are fan-made and non-canon, right?

[Atobe the king]

One thing: the names "Emerald Pear, Dream Pair, Silver Pair..." are fan-made and non-canon, right?

Yea, but they are pretty widespread

[Bowser]

Emerald Pair, I think so. Dream Pair no. Silver Pair also no.

[Sea Dragon]

Atobe is also nicknamed monkey king by Echizen, Sea dragon was right


Ah wow, Echizen actually did call Atobe monkey king? I was under the impression that someone went onto absolute anime/wiki/whatever and wanted to make fun of Atobe. Which episode/chapter was this?

Also, Yukimura constantly said "Sorry for the trouble" while he was in the hospital right? I remember they made fun of that in episode 165.

[Bowser]

I'm tempted to add to Tezuka; "MY ARRMMMMM!" But its anime only right :S

[Sea Dragon]

Lol I was tempted to tell you to add that, but I decided against it. I laughed so hard during that chibi episode when Tezuka yelled "MY ARMM!" when he accidentally nailed his finger.

Should we add the character's motto to their list of sayings? You can find their mottos in fanbook 40.5 profile translations. I can post a link to some tls. For example, Fuji's motto is 'Important things cannot be seen with the eyes' and I've also heard from him 'A great calligrapher does not need to choose his brushes'.

Please, post a link to the fanbook!!
Anyway,Fuji loves cactus, so you can expect everything of him.

Ryoma have called Atobe King of the Monkeys two times that I remember: before his match in the Nationals and when he "plays" with Momo VS Atobe & Kabaji a looong time ago.

[Atobe the king]

It's true, particularly before their match he said he couldn't wait to dethrone mr. king of monkeys, and it was also said in the OVA.

Here's the image
http://www.onemanga.com/Prince_of_Tennis/296/10/

He calls him that because of how the member of Hyoutei cheer and act..you know in cartoons when they show groups of monkeys screaming from trees or whatever..well basically thats how the majority of the hyotei team looks most of the time..i pretty clever joke from koshimae.

[Ravsieg]

Tezuka shouted "It's because of MY AAAAAAAAARM" on the chibi episode as Inui comented his camera holding position was a few milimeters below what it usually is. (he actually said the correct amount of them)

That's like "TEZUKA ZOOOONE" when he used his forehead to block flying objects.

By the way...

Atobe:
"Ore-sama no bigi ni yoi na."
"Ora, Kabaji."

Kabaji:
"Usu."

Kamio:
"Rhythm ni noruze!" (I'm getting into rhythm)

Sengoku:
"Yoooosh! Luuuucky!"

Amane:
"Koocho no koocho.. koocho-sensei ze koocho."
"Nice [naissu] jyanaissu"

[Atobe the king]

Oh yea how could i forget


Atobe - Nah? Kabaji?

Kabaji - osu!, Katsu no wa Hyotei Desu

[Sherlock Holmes]

Freshmen trio - There it is! xxxxxx!
The fact that's actually a saying made me laugh out loud.

Dream Pair is canon, isn't it?


Shiraishi - Ahh...ecstasy...
In a semi-related note, I can't be the only one who thinks Shiraishi is on something.

As for nicknames, in the dub Najiroh was the king of tennis wasn't he?

Does feminine-looking-guy description of Krauser count?

"The man who crucified Kirihara"?

[Bowser]

It is a saying technically, they repeat it every time someone uses a fecking move. Dream Pair was announced at the end of one of the chapters in Manga where Fuji and Eiji walks out right?

[Sai_the_Shaman]

Atobe:

「俺様の美技に酔いな」
"Be intoxicated by my beautiful technique"

「勝者は…俺だ」
"The Winner will be....Me"

Sanada:

「たるんどる」
"Don't slack off"

Tezuka:

「油断せずに行こう」
"Always go prepared"

Ryoma:

「まだまだだね」
"You've still got lots more to work on"

I'll come up with more later XD

[Ravsieg]

Kamio also says "Rhythm no Akeruze" a lot, but I don't remember what it means. I think it's like "I'm riding the rhythm"

[Atobe the king]

I think it means that as well...he says it every damn PoT game lmao.

[Sai_the_Shaman]

Kamio says：　「リズムに乗るぜ」　（Rhythm ni Noru ze)

Mean's Riding the Rhythm

As for names

Kenya is　浪速のスピードスター　（Naniwa no Speedster)　Naniwa is the old name for Osaka. It's either Speedster or Speed Star.....Either one works

Sanada is 皇帝（Koutei）It means Emperor

Atobe is 王様（キング）Means King

Yukimura is 神の子　（Kami no Ko)　Means Child of God

[Sea Dragon]

For the fanbook translations, I go to this site: http://ann-applecore.livejournal.com/tag/40.5.

If you look, there are some pretty thoughtful sayings from each character profile that were kindly translated by the website.

[Bowser]

Oh yeah, I heard of these phrases from another manga, such as Wakaki Koutei Schneider, or Kami no Ko Santana...

[Ravsieg]

Yep.. Emperor Schneider (Kaiser) and the God-like prodigy Santana.

Someone's read CT WY!

[Bowser]

I helped translate Golden Dreams, Final Countdown and Dream 2006 but it aint released yet by Shinji :P - for reasons that it comes after G23.

[Ravsieg]

Awesome! I'm looking forward to it, I've always following it since WY.

Anyways, back on topic.. why not add players gestures to the list?

[Bowser]

Request for gestures will be added tonight, as Im busy. PIf you could, please put some in reply. Thanks.

[Ravsieg]

Ibu bounces the ball with the side part of the frame of his racquet.

Enbu-Boy is nearly all the time on his usual pose, not sure how to describe it. His racquet arm is bending behind his other arm which is stretching forward. His legs also have a peculiar stance on here.

I'm probably missing something..

[Atobe the king]

If were doing these then....(also i always call enbu stance the gatotsu haha)

-Tezuka sits/stands with arms folded almost all the time, and when sitting his legs are crossed
-Eiji twirls the racket around his wrist
-When Sanada wins the point he lets the racket drop so that he's holding the shaft
-Kaido's return posture has both hands dipped low and his legs far apart
-Ryoma throws off his hat/flies off when "shit just got real" during a match.
-Shiraishi's bandages loosen as a match goes on (?)

[Ravsieg]

That Eiji trick reminds me of the one he does with Oishi, rolling the racquet with a finger on its "heart".
