Following is a list of Special Pairs that we might implement next season:

Ryoga/Ryoma
Sanada/Atobe
Yamato/Tezuka
(Tezuka/Miyuki)
Fuji/Saeki
Fuji/Yuuta
Chitose/Tachibana
(Chitose/Miyuki)
Tachibana/An
Akutsu/Kawamura
Akutsu/Dan
Oshitari/Kenya
Marui/Akutagawa
Momoshiro/Kamio
Gin/Kawamura
Gin/Tetsu
Kamio/An
Ryou/Atsushi

If you think there is a pair that is either on the list but shouldn't be there or a air that isn't there but should be in your opinion, please make a statement.
Also I'd like you to give reasons why X pair should/should not be a Special Pair.

The bolded ones are the ones we already have this season.
As Miyuki already has 8 votes I put her on the list as well.

 

[Zatono]

I don't get Ryoma/Tezuka. I know they have that whole Pillar of Support thing going, but they're not THAT close to each other that they should be one of the special pairs.

 

[-Ken-]

Ryoma/Kin-chan><!!!

If Ryoma/Tezuka is there, they should be there too.

 

[Zatono]

I like the Ryoga/Ryoma pair since you're basically sacrificing two singles to completely demolish any team possible xD.

 

[Kaoz]

I'm not sure about Tezuka and Ryoma, I put them there because of the Pillar of Support, they came to my mind after I added Yamato/Tezuka.

Ryoma and Kintarou, not really, they both fail so much at Doubles, it's not even funny... I guess I should scratch Ryoma/Tezuka for the same reason.

I like the Ryoga/Ryoma pair since you're basically sacrificing two singles to completely demolish any team possible xD.

That's a pair I could actually see working, Ryoga doesn't seem that obsessed with hitting everything as Ryoma and Kintarou are, so he might cover the rest of the court and finish the opponent or something, dunno.

 

[Bowser]

Yukimura/Sanada...they were gonna be a double pair until they had to face each other...

Atobe/Hiyoshi - captain pair?

Momo/Kamio - makeshift pair lol, against atobe/kabaji - and them two too

Sengoku/Akutsu might be interesting...

Other names I might include: not sure if they're already included...
Zaizen/Kenya
Kenya/Gin
kamio/kenya?
Mukahi/Hiyoshi
Shiraishi/Kirihara
Tachibana/Chitose

 

[Zatono]

I was thinking about Shiraishi/Akaya, but we might as well wait for the manga to debut what the Bible and Devil tennis players can do together.

 

[Kaoz]

Hmm, maybe I should give an explanation under which criteria a pair is considered as a Special Pair. First of all, the characters are not allowed to be on the same team (canon wise... another point why Ryoma/Tezuka doesn't work, why did I include them???), also the characters have to have a special relationship in form of siblings, rivals etc.

That being said, from the suggestions up until now, I'll include Momo/Kamio.

 

[Zatono]

Tezuka/Chitose - Come on, they're both Muga maniacs.
Kamio/An - Seems like Kamio wants to go out with her

I can't really think of any others that don't involve high tiers right now though.

 

[Kaoz]

Kamio/An will be considered, Tezuka/Chitose I can't really see, both of them are singles players and they don't really share that much backstory I think.

Also, high tiers are perfectly fine as well.

 

[javimgol]

Most of the pairs you have said are simply Tier Pairs, that have played one or more matches together, and they can do Formations

Special Pairs should be :

Brotherhood/family: Fujis, Ishidas, Oshitaris, Kisarazus, Chitose, Tachibanas...
Captain/subcaptain: Tezuka/Oishi and Sanada/Yuki, for example, even get an special chapter in the Finals
Specialists: Gin/Kawamura, Bunta/Jiro...
Simply Special Pairs: Atobe/Sanada, Miyuki/Tezuka, Momo/Kamio

 

[Zatono]

Then for specialist, Oni-Kintarou as extreme power players.

 

[javimgol]

Just noticed, Atobe's Ice World shouldn't be useful or shouldn't counter Tezuka Zone, no? Atobe found the secret of his spin or sth like that in the match, but was Ryoma's key to victory: no Tezuka Zone (Ryoma should have it, too!), no way to return the ball to your blind points

 

[Sai]

Atobe later countered Zone with in insight later in the match. in essence zone was broken.

 

[Bowser]

KAIDOH YAGYUUU

---

Momo/Sengoku? - omoshiro momoshiro
Fuji Tachibana? - you know, being friends and everything
Shishido/Oishi canon and Ootori Kikumaru pair...manga wise
Oshitari and Fuji!?! Tensai pair?
Shiraishi+Fuji, Kawamura+Gin...
Maybe...Zaizen Atobe pair for super arrogant pair?!

and finally
KAIDOH YAGYUUU
Feat: Straight or Curved? XD

 

[Kaoz]

I can accept Kaidoh/Yagyuu, but the others have a pretty vague base I think.

 

[Bowser]

They did have Oshitari and Kikumaru at one point but that was pretty bad.

What about a high schooler pair? Perhaps Akazawa/Mizuki pair?

Perhaps when you pair Momo with Kikumaru we could have a feat called Three Man Doubles or something or Fuji/Kikumaru...mehh. Is Saeki/Itsuki on the list?

 

[Kaoz]

Akuzawa and Mizuki are both St. Rudolph, so no.

As for the high schoolers, I thought about Kazuya/Oni but then again they were just shown practicing before their matches with Ryoma and Kintarou, I'm a bit undecided here.

 

[Bowser]

Jackal Kaidoh seem to be the same kind of people.
Trickster Trickster pair? Momo/Sengoku, Niou etc

What about...
KRAUSER KIRIHARA - KK pair
Hitouji with Momo or Kaidoh maybe XD
Mizuki/Renji XD data rape pair

 

[Kaoz]

Special Pairs are mostly this:

Brotherhood/family: Fujis, Ishidas, Oshitaris, Kisarazus, Chitose, Tachibanas...

,

sometimes this:

Specialists: Gin/Kawamura, Bunta/Jiro...

and at rare occassions this:

Simply Special Pairs: Atobe/Sanada, Miyuki/Tezuka, Momo/Kamio

They are basically pairs that make sense canon-wise, yet don't have a support level. As thus they are not allowed to come from the same team (as then they could have paired up reguarly), also there has to be at least some background for them.
