Shin Prince of Tennis Spoiler Thread (Next Ch. June 4th)

[Fuji Shusuke]

I think people here know the expression "Jumping the shark"...or "nuking the fridge".

No, the only expression we use here is "fodder".

[Brandnewkid]

Prince of Tennis jumped the shark during the Nioh <-> Yagyu switcheroo. Konomi said so himself.

[Airgrimes]

I get it totally now.
If so, Nuking the fridge has happened time and time again.

[Kaoz]

Good news guys, we have some very early spoilers/RAWs.

Chapter 81 RAW
Chapter 82 RAW
Chapter 83 RAW

From what I can tell:
-the actual score seems to be 6-6 at the time we left off last chapter and match point for the MSers
-Mouri does indeed dislocate his shoulder to return the shot
-the ball makes it over the net, but Niou returns it
-2nd String wins 7-6, 0-6, 7-6 and Atobe and Niou get the No. 9 and 10 badges
-the next match is Duke vs Gin
-it seems that Duke wins easily (so not all HSers are getting replaced it seems?)
-next time: Kite/Marui vs Kimijima/Tohno for the No. 7 and 8 spots

I hope we can get a complete summary later on, but that seems to be the gist of it.

Yeah sure no, no Kite/Marui for sure, no, no

Well, at least, I'm glad we don't have to witness a full power-players match. On the other side, that's one wasted position >.<

[Asclepius]

Nioh baby, you rock!!!


Seeing Shiraishi and Akaya together makes me think that they will keep playing doubles. Angel mode FTW.

Poor Gin. He was destroyed. Good, cause i dislike most power players.

No opinion about Marui/Kite. I just hope it doesn't last 20 chapters.

[LetalHawk]

Poor Gin, lol. What the heck? Duke playing already?

It's impossible that Gin would have at least make a point.

If Duke already played, that leaves 5 singles matches left:

Akutsu vs Oni
Shuuji vs Sanada
Tokugawa vs Byodouin
Ryoma vs Ryoga
Fuji vs Oomagari

Fuji has to play in these matches, probably his opponent will be Oomagari.

[kantou]

poor gin...Some overseas can keep their place is cool and I hope that duo kite/marui will win
ps: the cover with zaizen-kun is guidebook or alter cover for the next volume ?

I really don't think there will be that many singles. I don't see a reason why No. 1-10 would have 6 Singles and 2 Doubles whereas No. 11-20 had 4 Singles and 3 Doubles. The 4/3 split also works much better with the alternating match order we're used to, and I still expect Oni and Ohmagari to play doubles.

Then Fuji/Akutsu vs Oomagari/Oni?

If not, who will Fuji play? Shuuji?

[Zatono]

Hopefully Marui and Kite's match will be over before this year ends. I want to see real characters play.

[Kaoz]

Then Fuji/Akutsu vs Oomagari/Oni?

If not, who will Fuji play? Shuuji?

I think we'll get Oni/Ohmagari vs Akutsu/Kaidou. No clue what to do with Fuji, he would have been perfect for Kimijima/Tohno and I hope he gets in via some crazy plottwist, otherwise I don't know.

Oh yeah, given what we've seen here, I'd guess the match order on an international level is
D3 -> S3 -> D2 -> S2 -> D1 -> S1 with the 10th member being reserve.

Just wanted to throw that out there.

[Brandnewkid]

Ohmg @ how Duke just shitted on Gin, from what I can read Gin hit the 108th Hadokyu and DUKE just sends him flying like biiiiiiiiiiiitch!

But yeah, we finally get to see Tohno do something other than hit that dark serve at someone's face whenever they fuck up, and the super Genius Boy Ikuto finally steps up. Much interested.

I didn't expect that Konomi would make Duke's match like that.

[Demon Roronoa Zoro]

Kite and Marui should lose since they weaker than Atobe/Niou and there facing a stronger pair that those two.
