Konomi got himself a twitter account: https://twitter.com/konomi_takeshi

Discuss his tweets in this thread.

It seems like he will occasionally post some pages of upcoming chapters as well. It's fine to discuss those here, but the 24 hour spoiler rule applies. In other words, don't talk about those tweets outside of this thread until 24 hours after they've been posted.

Yeah it's that one. Kitsune fireball or whatever.

It becomes hittable at a very brief fraction of a second, and any swing makes the ball move around like a falling leaf (the imagery used as explanation was of a candle's light I think).

Against Fuji, Ryoma didn't manage to return it but, since the ability moves so much, a gust of wind made it go out.
Konomi indirectly making Fuji even stronger now.

Since, a chapter is titled going to America. I would have hope for Ryoma to use some of the techniques by American Reps. We barely saw it.

Kinda yeah. Although since he only used the move at the very end of the match (...and lost because of it) I assume he doesn't have it fully controlled yet, if it's even possible to control reliably.

Seriously? But that weakness is one I had not expected, just hit a shot that Ryoga cannot return and that’s it. But I expect him to return the last critical wind soon so Ryoma will need such a powerup that makes him score winners against Ryoga consistently.
I think I figured out why Medanore can rally with Ryoga.

Medanore's Time Stop works perfectly!!!
(Tokugawa black hole just countered it by nature)

Ryoga won't be able to return any shots by Antokino Medanore when the latter use time stop.

Ryoga can steal aurasnand abilities. But only if he is able to return a shot by his racket while opponent is in that aura form, or using the ability.

However, in Time Stop. Medanore can stop time. Then resume time when the ball is already out of reach.

I will not be surprise if Antokino won some practice matches against Ryoga. (Though, Ryoga definitely have some hiding in his sleeves)

I wonder how long will it take for Ryoga to return it, I guess he’ll do it soon enough.

What exactly Nanji taught to Ryoma? Because he will need something else to surpass Ryoga, an anti consume aura or sth. I’d love if he gets a new upgrade that surpasses TnK and Asura no Shindou.
Ryoma was able to take 3 games.

It is 3-3 now.

It seems like Ryoga is not super unbeatable like we all thought.

Remember, even Ralph was able to take a set against him 6-2 iirc. Ryoga was not serious probably. But still .

Duke did say Fuji will be stronger than him.

So, however strong do you guys think Duke is with his Duke Buster, Homerun, and Buddha Kijin. Duke said Fuji will surpassed him in the near future. Probably in the same age when Fuji is also a Hser.

Medanore mentions that Ryoga can't steal his techniques because of how his Harmony with his twin brother works. It's like they share the same techniques, so even if one of them loses it, he can immediately get it back. At least that's what I understood from his explanation after Romeo asked him what he meant back then.

EDIT: lol I just realized this is not the spoiler thread. My bad.

They didn’t even play right? Assuming this, Ryoga would need a new ability to beat Medanore, which probably has one hidden.

They did I think in practice. They are sparring partners iirc.

So the Consume already have 2 weaknesses/counters.

1. If a technique/ability shot is not returned directly by Ryoga's Racket, he can't consume the ability.

2. It doensn't work for players with a close partner duo who have harmony with each other. Like the Medanore twins. Since they share each other's technique. They can get it back instantly. So, it won't work on Twin Players with Harmony.

That's my prediction too. That he would get a new perfection state that embodies what a full fledged tennis player can do. Not one that is a imitation of nanjirou tennis or something everyone can do, even at pro level.

Konomi is really hyping this Kitsune Fireball technique by Fuji. Being copied by Ryoma.

It is literally being spammed to counter Ryoga's consume.

However, it is "incomplete".

It is not unreturnable though. Even the perfect version can be returned. Since it is said that it is returnable in an exact fraction of time

God Ryoma is here, his final upgrade looks really smooth and natural yet menacing.

I just expect an ass kicking of Ryoma from beginning to end, the august chapters will end at ch 479 (which is 100 chapters more than original PoT) and I don’t think it’s just a coincidence.

This will be like when Ryoma achieved TnK and toyed with Yukimura.

Nanjiroh Echizen finished his whole career with 0 losses in all of his official matches.

Now, Ryoma and Ryoga. One of them will get their first lost. Well, we all know Ryoma won't lose in the finale of his shown. Lol

Unless, it is a draw/no game.

Remember, this match is non bearing. Japan already beat Spain 3-1.

Yes. 3-1. For those who forgot,

Atobe beat Romeo. Tokugawa beat Medanore. Ochi/Mouri beat Julio/Silva.
(Only Mares/Sedah won for Spain side)

TOKUGAWA/YUKIMURA WON the doubles tournament.

Byodouin/Ryoma lost in Round 1!!!

This confirms that Tokugawa/Yukimura is Japan's Strongest HS/MS pairing. (Albeit, Duke/Niou with illusions are up there too)

So, Ryoma is confirmed to be a weak doubles player still. And maybe Byodouin is not bad but not as good in doubles as he is in singles too.

Ryoma is the strongest Mser. Byodouin is arguably the strongest Japan Hser. But they both lose on doubles. Lmao.

I guess if Tezuka/Ryoma or Tezuka/Fuji or Fuji/Ryoma pair up in Seigaku, they would have lost against Oishi/Kikumaru??? LMAO.

There's a big chance it's not a tennis tournament but another sport (like that one beach volleyball tournament in PoT).
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Since Duke paired with Fuji rather than Niou (who went with... Kaji), Yanagi paired with Mouri, and the replacement characters are participating, I think this happened right after the French match but before Germany. If it happened after Spain I'd think Kin would had paired with Ohmagari.

I'd think Niou got his W thanks to Illusions which he doesn't have nowadays.

Matches:
R1
Byoudouin Houou / Echizen Ryoma - BYE
Nakagauchi Sotomichi / Kirihara Akaya VS Tokugawa Kazuya / Yukimura Seiichi (Winner)
Date Danji / Sanada Genichirou VS Oomagari Ryuuji / Kite Eishirou (Winner)
(Winner) Kaji Kazena / Niou Masaharu VS Duke Watanabe / Fuji Shuusuke
(Winner) Oni Juujirou / Toyama Kintarou VS Irie Kanata / Atobe Keigo
Mouri Juzaburou / Yanagi Renji VS Ochi Tsukimitsu / Sengoku Kiyosumi (Winner)
Hakamada Izou / Oshitari Yuushi VS Kimijima Ikuto / Marui Bunta (Winner)
Tanegashima Shuuji / Shiraishi Kuranosuke - BYE

R2
Byoudouin Houou / Echizen Ryoma VS Tokugawa Kazuya / Yukimura Seiichi (Winner)
(Winner) Oomagari Ryuuji / Kite Eishirou VS Kaji Kazena / Niou Masaharu
(Winner) Oni Juujirou / Toyama Kintarou vs Ochi Tsukimitsu / Sengoku Kiyosumi

So what sports do you think it is? It should be something Tokugawa/Yukimura and Oni/Kintarou pairs both are good at.

But I guess Tokugawa and Yukimura howling premonition is too good for almost any sport.

It has to be something where dual-wielding/high defense is a great advantage since Kite-Ohmagari got past Date-Sanada and Kaji-Niou (who beat Duke-Fuji). Perhaps it's not even a sport but a silly competition.

I wanna go with 2v2 basketball tho since Sengoku got "lucky" and landed the tallest character in the series as his partner. But it could be anything.
