So really, Rin is the closest one to being less Kite than the rest because he has his own technique.
The entire team is just a joke except for Kite and Hirakoba.

Kai= Viking Horn, southpow, cap.
Tanishi= Carioca Step, Big Bang Serve, Fat.
Chinen= lol, Chinen.
Hikaroba= Tachibana's fanboy, Habu, dyed Hair.
Kite= Everything except Carioca Step, glasses, jerk.
Hirakoba has the Ohabu though.
And after Chinen bt Tanishi, you can't prove Chinen is weaker than either Kai nor Tanishi.
So the latter three are all Incomplete!Kite's lol.

Oh god... I hope Saeki will have some more screentime. He's my fav characters from Rokkaku. Too bad about him, really. Saeki+Fuji would be pretty fun team to watch, strength exclude.

Loved Saeki. Would have thrown in him in my fav characters had he not been weaker than Fuji Yuuta in Singles.
Which is why I can't complain about him not coming to the camp. He wasn't even Top two in Rokkaku. Amane and Kurobane were even ahead of him.
Such a shame that such a cool guy could suck so bad.

While this talk about side characters is nice and all, remember that this is Kai vs Akutagawa, so something slightly more on-topic would be appreciated.

Kaoz, you think Jirou could seal Viking Horn?

I don't think he could seal it, Kikumaru couldn't.
But Viking Horn won't stop Jirou from taking points with MV at a slightly faster rate.

Also, Kai's Sukuchihou won't work if Jirou aims at the corners, so then he would have to run all the way up to the net and waste stamina, that might lower the speed of Viking Horn at some point, then Jirou would be able to return it eventually.

No. In fact, it might prevent him from advancing completely.

Then Kai could just hit Viking Horn over and over and 6-0 Jirou
Re: [Semifinals - Team 2 vs Team 12 Singles 2] Kai vs Akutagawa
Someone please explain me what's so great in Viking Horn. I didn't understand why Kikumaru wasn't able to seal it (I thought it was just Konomi trying to make an even match).
Re: [Semifinals - Team 2 vs Team 12 Singles 2] Kai vs Akutagawa
Viking Horn delays the time the ball is hit, so it forces the other person to take an action first. Unless they have very good court coverage, it's hard to catch up. It's kind of like Akutsu's shots, just that Kai isn't as flexible and thus more limited.

Can't you just wait till the ball is hit? lol
I mean: the more time to reach the net, the better for Jirou. Delaying the hit wouldn't be so useful :/
It's not like Akutsu shots, he was able to return almost anything and attack at the same time, he's not that limited.

Depends on how fast you can move towards either side. If you are fast enough to catch up to the ball, you can just wait (see Kamio vs Sengoku), but if not, the ball will just go past you. Jirou doesn't have great coverage to the sides from what we know, so he'd have to decide for a side before Kai hits, leaving an opening on the other side.
Akutsu hits after you move. Kai hits after you move. That's the similarity I was referring to. Of course Akutsu has other abilities on top of that that Kai is lacking.

Wait, but if Kai keeps spamming the Viking Horn, sooner or later Jirou would get used to it, as if it was a regular shot.
I don't see how Kai would seal the MVs though...
Edit: no, Jirou doesn't have great coverage, he's just 1,60 mts tall
