Note: the number reflects the strength. When challenging for a match, the decision must take in to account the person's number.

Well, that's a shame.

 

[Kaoz]

I think Ban being stronger than Hakamada is plausible if you look at their profiles. As far as the match flow is concerned they're basically opposites with Hakamada wasting stamina quickly and Ban having lots of it but being a bit slow at the start. Vanish isn't going to seriously hurt Ban even if he gets hit. So I feel the match would be in Hakamada's favour in the beginning, but could shift back to Ban in the second half of the match when Hakamada starts running out of steam.

 

[Awennor]

"About the first court, it says "there is a player there that is stronger than the first string?!" alongside Tokugawa's picture."

In case I didn't make it clear enough, the text is like a subtitle of Tokugawa's picture.

EDIT: Went to take a second look, no it's not, sorry. But it's on the same frame as the picture.

 

[-Ken-]

It's probably talking about Tokugawa, which make sense. Tokugawa is stronger than majority, if not all, 1st stringer.

I still think 1st stringer are stronger than the 2nd stringer. If you look at those facts and see how stats is not relevant for some players it make a lot of sense.

@Kaoz, is the name on this page the 1st stringer?

If possible, can you translate Nakugauchi data? He's the only HS representative who got chosen that data hasn't been translated yet.

I kinda know some of it. For Speed it says that he focused too much on training his Stamina and also that he's bad against fast opponents. For Technique, he can hit 300 shots continuously to the left and right corners.

7 1st court
1 former 2nd court
8 former third court
1 former 5th court
2 4th court
1 MS

So.. it seem like this is the challenge line-up?

Also, is this shot ever name? Kabaji copy it so it seems to not just be a normal backhand?

I'm not sure on the number of 1st court players in the line-up being 7. One of the names in the upper half is from 4th court's doubles 1, but I doubt any of 17-19 are from 1st court. Also, just a technicality, but Migihashi is still 2nd court and not former 2nd court. Overall it's like this:

Spoiler

1. Tokugawa (1st Court)
2. Oni (3rd Court)
3. Irie (5th Court)
4. Kishimoto (1st Court?)
5. Handa (name was mistranslated in the chapter, 4th Court?)
6. Taniyoshi (1st Court?)
7. Ishimaru (1st Court?)
8. Nakagauchi (5th Court)
9. Sekine (1st Court?)
10. Yamato (5th Court)
11. Migihashi (2nd Court)
12. Miyako (5th Court)
13. Washio (5th Court)
14. Suzuki (5th Court)
15. Matsudaira (5th Court)
16. Kobayashi (4th Court?)
17. Hisajima (4th Court?)
18. Miyamoto (4th Court?)
19. Takei (5th Court)
20. Yukimura (MS)

Like this, the number of 1st court players also corresponds to the panel I showed you yesterday. Interestingly enough, if you shift these down by 6 spots after Migihashi, you get this:

Spoiler

1. Tokugawa (1st Court)
2. Oni (3rd Court)
3. Irie (5th Court)
4. Kishimoto (1st Court?)
5. Handa (mistranslated in the chapter, 4th Court?)
6. Taniyoshi (1st Court?)
7. Ishimaru (1st Court?)
8. Nakagauchi (5th Court)
9. Sekine (1st Court?)
10. Yamato (5th Court)
11. Migihashi (2nd Court)
12. 2nd Court
13. 2nd Court
14. 2nd Court
15. 2nd Court
16. 2nd Court
17. 2nd Court
18. Miyako (5th Court)
19. Washio (5th Court)
20. Suzuki (5th Court)

Normally you'd shift this by 7 positions instead, but Washio without Suzuki doesn't really make sense. You get the point though. Basically this would likely have been the challenger line-up if the BJB hadn't butted in.

It doesn't have an official name. EDIT: I want to say it might've been called explosion shot or something along those lines somewhere, but I can't find it right now.

 

[-Ken-]

Wait.. so the 2nd court didn't go home? It surprise me that there's no many 4th court left.

They did except for Migihashi. My second list was just a hypothetical.

 

[Awennor]

Nakagauchi is just so boring. Maybe later.

Does it say on which basis the people that go on the special mission are selected?

Is Handa 4th court leader? Or where did his info come from?

 

[Kaoz]

Is Handa 4th court leader? Or where did his info come from?

Not in name, but I'm pretty certain that he is in reality. Basically he's listed as having played against Taira and Hara together with Miyamoto, and you can see the guys who were up against them if you zoom in on the page where 3rd court walks away from the team shuffle vs 4th court. In my opinion it's likely that they were also the ones who played D1 in that team shuffle (2-6 vs Washio/Suzuki), but unfortunately their names are covered on that list, so I can't say for certain.

Results from the camp.
* Able to react even at irregular terrain.
Example: Sakata being able to run in zig zag by improving his sideway movements.
* The ability to hit consecultively
Example: Ryoma and Kintaroh hitting multiple stuff at the eagles.
* Ability to jump side ways
Examples: Gakuto's low moonsault.

It then ends with Mifune's message for them to go crush the elite and do the revolution and stuff.

File 1 Yukimura VS Sanada 7-1
Extra Notes:
Not even Ra works against Yukimura. When the rally is completely controlled, the opponent loses the strength to counter attack.
After Sanada loses his 5 senses, Yukimura keeps attacking without mercy. The match goes completely one-sided...
The black aura Sanada has shown after losing his 5 senses, after witnessing it's presence, Yukimura's facial expression tightens up.

Coach Notes:
Saitou - the owner of a strong will in a match: Even against his own friend in a helpless state, he does not stop his attacks. This strong will is amazing.
Kurobe - an eye for tactics that can seal his opponent's movements: to seal your opponent's movements like that, you must have a tactical eye to hit a high level shot at a high level timing.
Conditioning coach - concerns about his own body make him rush the match: ending the match at such a small period of time hides his own worries about his body. if this is ignored, it may lead to his self-destruction.

 

[Kaoz]

It's really nice to see the intended benefits of the mountain camp. Kinda unfortunate that there's no similar analysis for the main camp.

Tsuuge's comment on Yukimura is interesting. Apparently Yukimura just completely destroyed Sanada after he saw Black Aura. Not sure what to make of him worrying about his body, might be why he didn't participate in the G10 challenge?

 

[Anera]

Thank you very much for your translation, Awennor, it's really nice.

But he already got the badge n°11, if I remember well ? Was there really an interest to see him play once again ? I know Niou played twice, but Konomi surely wanted to show us Niou's new abilities. (and allow Atobe to shine once again and Niou was the perfect double player for that purpose) Yukimura didn't have other strings to his arc which were interesting enough to let him play another match in the G10 challenge.

Making him play against the best player of Germany was a good way to give him the power-up he needs.

 

[Kaoz]

Yeah, he already had that badge. I'm not saying what Tsuuge describes was the only factor, but I do wonder if it didn't influence it.

File 2
Yagyuu VS Nioh 8-6
Extra Notes:
He reads Nioh's movements beforehand and sends the ball to the opposite side.
He uses the same form as the laser, but he hits it with a side spin.

Coach
Saitou - excelent analysis and observation skills: by using ordinary information he was able to discover there was a trick. Not bad, huh, this guy.
Kurobe - he has a sense of strategy to shoot down his foes: to make use of his opponent's trick, using it against the opponent himself, such sense of strategy I can value highly.

Such high praise for Yagyuu.
Though it still seems Yagyuu only won because at that point Nationals!Niou needed a few games to use Illusion.

I'm really interested in the off-screened Marui 10-8 Jackal scoreline, Chinen 17-15 Tanishi score and the Akutsu 7-1 Kawamura scoreline.
