Dammit, can't you give me a chance to use the ""My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people don't know." line? haha just kidding.

Wow, awesome that we got 3 chapters this time. Hopefully they just give in and give us a chapter a week again. Thanks for trans Sai and thanks for the Scan Fayte. I read one of yours and one of someone elses....

Ryoma can still lose with PoP and still have it make some sense. After all, didn't Nanjirou say that PoP was just losing yourself to having fun playing tennis? So, its like playing tennis at your optimal level? I mean the kid is only like 3 feet tall...he can only be so strong...realistically..not that ever was important in PoT....

Granted, the people that he loses to will probably be able to destroy the universe with 1 shot. :P

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

I feel like a total noob, but why was Ryoma with the losers? I know he never showed so was he disqualified?

Kin-chan was supposed to play Chitose and he(chitose) ended up with the winners so it's assumed they forfeit by not showing up.

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

Also, why was Ryoma hanging with the coach? When were they buddies?

Edit: Nice sig btw, Atobe.

[Atobe the king]

It was him and Kin chan...since they weren't even present for the GTFO speech i guess the mental coach had to go find them.

And thanks...Hibari is just so badass..plus i haven't shown Reborn any love in a while...

[Harlett]

Yeah... he found two brats tired to death but very happy xD

But I feel that it doesn't be strange to him. It was something he had in mind, that and going to wait for the.. uhm... losers return to their own at the training camp.


Saitou expected them to take that decision. He planned it, after all as the mental coach he test them playing against their friends, it was a part of motivating and shove something in their head about friendship /rivalry/determination/courage/defeat/desire/etc/something. ~


So they have another chance but it will cost them more work than the others. And the others will be pressured because those who supposed they defeated now can return and taking them out of the camp

Although it's difficult to me to keep seeing that among the winners get to be a very cooperative. Everyone has their good dose of ego and pride.

And why this time there were 3 chapters?
I'm not complaining, but I wonder O:

[Wizzel]

Still can't get over that Oni guy "being serious" and playing with a fully strung racket- come on, if they're so wonderful, he should be able to get by on NO strings!

OK, his opponent was Tarzan II, but... heh.

Nah, I really love PoT to death for its logic-defying tennis. Makes me smile all the time. Kin-chan's just too great!

Wonder what Mental Coach's strategy's going to be from now on- pit tennis players against nature by having them shoot bears with tennis balls? (Can't help but think of that one anime episode ) Handcuff them together in pairs to find out who can survive for a week and thus create doubles teams (and dead players)? Have them each chop wood by hacking at it with serves?

*g* Four singles and doubles would be great, but I can't help but think that Konomi will not break his 2-3 pattern for such a petty thing as reality. On the other hand, more matches.... hmmm... can't wait for the series to continue. Let's hope the three-chapters-a-month pace keeps up!

[Fayte]

I hope something happens to Richard and he just gets sent home. He doesn't deserve a second chance. Zaizen please own him and take his spot.
