My interpretation is that Sanada returned the ball the very second the ball hit the ground, and before the ball had a chance to roll, which is entirely possible to accomplish even in real life.

If you return the ball the second it hits the ground, does it not count because it doesn't bounce?

The story is written in Japanese regardless of where it takes place. Why would that matter?

Does anyone else think Irie is going to wow us? I've just been feeling it for years now, but the story has been progressing so slowly. (It's actually why I made him play evenly against Yukimura in my Black Lions story).

I've been saying this for a while now but I want to see a Sanada/Oni doubles match. I still hold on to my belief that those two have chemistry.

True, but personally I don't think they will matter. If there are other pros, they will be used simply to measure the power level of the characters who matter (which are the ones that have already been introduced), whether they be HSers or MSers. It is entirely possible that we see something big...

Rhinehart is a much less common variant (even in the US), though it is still a legit American surname so I guess it could be true.

I've been saying Kirihara is going to get a major devil buff for almost 7 years. Hopefully now is the time we will finally see it. He was always meant to be top tier. Also, I'm pretty sure the name is commonly spelled "Reinhardt."

There is a point, if you interpret Kijin as being "in the zone." Your interpretation of Kijin makes PoP redundant. Why would Oni need PoP if Kijin was enough? Doesn't that fact alone prove that PoP is better? I specifically said Kijin. Would you agree that Oni is the only one with a demon...

You would at least agree that Kijin is different from PoP in that everyone cannot access it, right? Would you agree with me that ONLY Oni has it? If you grant this, then I find no reason to believe it would be a double standard, because the two are clearly not the same. It is comparing apples to...

Was Echizen was playing at 100% against Yukimura before PoP? I would argue that he was, and PoP pushed him over the edge, like the concept of "overclocking" a computer. It is increased power consumption to increase speed, but it can be unstable. This is basically the definition of muga. This...

Neither of us can "prove" anything. Proof requires irrefutable evidence. I am merely suggesting the "evidence" suggests these manifestations are in an entirely different category, and should not be viewed literally and at face value, as if interpreting muga. Remember what I said about...

Can either of you prove to me that these things are not what I said they were? If they are muga/states, why is it not mentioned as such in the manga? I think this requires a lot more nuance than simply saying, "Oni go demon. Demon get de points. Therefore, Oni get stronger by demon." Me taking...

Let me explain what I mean: You cannot understand Kishin without first understanding "Samurai Echizen." Samurai Echizen is where all of this began. Only those of a certain tennis discernment are able to perceive the samurai of Echizen's "inner-self." The samurai does not make Ryoma play better...
