I can only ever see Yukimura pairing with Sanada if ever. Doubt they will.
Fuji/Shiraishi seems legit though.

Alright guys, we have 3 chapters again this month. Note that I wasn't able to contact Sai and that the below summaries are a product of my interpretation of google translation. If anyone feels like providing something more accurate, posts 198, 208 and 221 on this page have the originals.

Ch 84

-Marui seems to have met Kimijima before, there's something about a CD BGM and Kimijima signing a tennis ball
-Tohno tells them to step onto the court so that he can execute them
-Match start, Tohno serves first
-Marui gets hit in the face by Tohno's serve

Ch 85

-they are rallying, and Kimijima's sees an open spot in the corner, Marui cannot react, but Kite returns the ball
-if I'm reading this right, they are saying that Kite's defense is impenetrable
-2nd String takes the first game
-skip forward, Marui uses Tsunawatari to bring the 2nd String a 3-0 lead
-Kimijima says that Marui/Kite are an ideal doubles pair, but tells Marui to not use that move again
-Ohmagari makes some comment that I think describes Kimijima's abilities a little, but I'm not sure what it is exactly

Ch 86

-Kimijima scores against Marui by hitting a shot that looks like a chance ball but curves
-Fuji says that Marui's rhythm has been disturbed and Kite says that Marui's too impatient
-1st String wins 3 games in a row, making it 3-3
-Tohno aims at Marui's face again, but Marui evades the shot and lets Kite take it


Lastly, two pics:

The first move that Akutsukyo uses on Bunta is called Execution Method No. 13: Guillotine, I believe. He also shouts weird things when he plays, at one point I think he's even yodeling. Wtf?

What? Execution Method? Konomi's portraying him as an assassin more than a violent tennis player.

[Atobe the king]

Well, everyone is a violent player now lol. Gotta find another way to distinguish them, waiting for someone to put down the racket and just use a machine gun.

What's up with the tennis ball in the image?

What's up with the tennis ball in the image?

I think the gum Marui chews stuck on it when Marui was hit in the face.

[Asclepius]

I don't think a gum would stuck in a featherly surface like that. But could be a manga thing.

My bet is... BLOOD!!!

Kimijima autographed it for Marui, but when Tohno used his Guillotine it hit Marui square in the face, and his new gum ended up all over the ball.

[LetalHawk]

Kite manages to return Tohno's Guillotine in the last chapter?

[Featherwolf]

Well if it comes straight at the gum with high speed, I guess it will stick anyway. I can imagine Marui being all:

"HA! Jokes on you! My gum is stuck on the ball, and you're going to serve with it now!"

[-Ken-]

So yeah, Kite and Marui now can fight evenly with enemy that is supposedly stronger than the enemy that put Atobe and National Tezuka to deep trouble. I thought we'll be some explanation to this strength, but I guess not. The "explanation" might be that no 9-10 is said to be double specialist.

Tohno's boring. Kimijima shot seems interesting. It's probably about everyone expected.

[TheShiraishi]

Awwwwww poor guy :/ Thanks, my first thought was the ball had been broken somehow but didn't quite look like that.

[Brandnewkid]

What gets me is how everyone's all, "Hey! That jerk hit Bunta in the face on purpose!" as if freaking Ryoma, Kirihara, and others haven't pulled the same routine and gotten away with it before. Wth? Those guys can get away scott-free with it, yet the moment Tohno does it they ride his dick like a rodeo clown, just because he's Tohno.
