“In that case, I’ll go further than that!”
Finding one’s own meaning of playing tennis, a counter genius who’s vigorously working to cultivate his own tennis. Adding offensive moves to his return techniques, Fuji’s strength is still immeasurable.

(On picture: Fuji Shuusuke will be reborn!)
Having made a fresh start, Fuji unleashes a Critical Wind. Continuing to renew the “guidepost” he has chosen, the tens keeps going forward.
Behind a gentle smile, an unshakeable spirit!
Never discarding the kindly smiling expression, Fuji concealed a strong mentality. Cutting apart his doubts with his own hands, it seems he has broken through something.
Being asked by his brother Yuuta, he makes a confident statement.
(On picture: Yuuta asking if Shuusuke is now stronger than Tezuka, Shuusuke saying yes.)
He seems unshaken by the creation of Inui and co., but soon collapses.
(On picture: “Yeah, this is quite good too!”)
Fuji as he has lost Tezuka as his guidepost*. Without finding a meaning or prospect of continuing tennis, he was troubled.
[Literally: “his guidepost called Tezuka”]
Fuji showing a beaming smile after surpassing an obstacle. While repeatedly taking on matches on the world’s stage, he seems to have found the joy of tennis again.
Reflected in mind’s eye, distant sky
A noble youth like a soaring, refreshing breeze

“Rather than the sceneries in Australia, it seems he likes photographing his teammates and foreign players. Always such a show-off…”
Tenipedia, Kikumaru edition!
“Image training with some complex settings~
Tezuka in a good condition, Tezuka trying not to smile, Tezuka a year ago… He was fighting all kinds of different Tezukas. I wonder if he’s doing that today too?”
Messages to Fuji
Siegfried: “My pride wouldn’t permit me to hear your information from Tezuka. I’ll definitely not lose the next time.”
Mac: “You’re an amazing athlete! How about starring on my video next time? I think the views would go up!”
Saeki: “I’m always supporting you together with Yuuta-kun while you play in the World Cup! But haven’t you left me free too much lately?”
Tezuka: “I think it wasn’t good to stop the match with you like that. But… I’m waiting for you on the world’s stage.”
History of the prince
The reborn tensai soars to even further heights!
Breaking down a wall with his own hands! Abandoning defending to become ultra-aggressive. From his feelings towards Seigaku, emerges Fuji, the tensai, who focuses on victory. Though he once had lost his purpose of playing tennis, he made a comeback, and now a change can be seen in his play.
(On picture: “It’s rare that I get to feel this kind of a thrill.”)
Fuji used to enjoy the thrill of fully pulling out the opponents power. But at the same time, he couldn’t be persistent about winning or losing.
(On picture: “If this is a hindrance… take me out of the team for the tournament.”)
VS Kirihara
Right before his eyes, he saw Tezuka sacrificing his arm in order to grasp victory for Seigaku. For Seigaku’s sake, he too resolved to become serious.
(On picture: “I just can’t afford to withdraw from this match.”)
Thinking of his friends, a tenaciously burning passion
VS Shiraishi
(On picture: “My desire is for this team to win the national championship!“) Feelings are heightened as they proceed win by win towards the national victory. After the tournament, he wished to settle things with Tezuka, who had been his guide.
(On picture: “Once this tournament is over, would you play a match with me?”)
Stepping into the world, a journey without a guide
VS Tezuka
His deeply wished for match with Tezuka became an unfinished ending. But Fuji saw Tezuka’s intention, and even beyond that…
(On picture: “Game and set, won by… Fuji Shuusuke.”)
Cutting quickly with a sharpened blade of wind!
VS Bismarck and Siegfried
(On picture: “Critical Wind: Aoi fubuki!)
Fuji, who has specialised on counters, presents a offensive technique. It’s as if he has become a different person.
VS Mac and Milkey
With sharpened senses, he reacts to a high speed serve. From ordinary people’s neurotransmission rate’s viewpoint, it probably looked as if stopped time moved.
(On picture: "I understand, and I can judge it. If I could react…”)
