Hello everyone! my first time posting in this forum.
As for the topic,
Irie is good even Tanegashima a no.2 1st stringer complimented Irie meaning a serious Irie would really roflstomp any middleschooler. and because of his amazing acting I can assume that he only toyed atobe in their match. but even though Irie might be a God or some sort of to be revealed in later chapters which I think would happen, but that doesn't change the fact that Fuji from Seigaku and known to be the second strongest to Tezuka in terms of skills and tactics. Fuji questions himself on why does Tezuka seem to be one step ahead of Him. and tells himself that someday I will surpass you.
Yes. Fuji may beat him in the future. We can only deal with the now. There is no use in discussing future plot power.
Right now, Fuji would only survive using Closed Eye and Cord Ball. Irie's technique is above Tezuka's and Shiraishi's. He would undoubtably bring down the 5 counters within one game , 2 games max.
6th Counter only works against Cord Balls from what we have been shown. Irie can simply not hit cord balls to avoid it. Irie uses World of Ice for a few games. and its game set soon enough.
This said, that Fuji has more up his sleeves and he can improve as to defeat Tezuk. Fuji is a very promising player and I doubt he would lose to Yukimura/Sanada or any middle school player except Tezuka for now. It's really a mistake to underestimate Fuji. keep in my mind that this story revolves for middle schoolers specifically the team Seigaku.
...We are well aware he is promising lol. But he is yet to do anything in Shin PoT. On here we dont talk about stuff that is yet to happen when discussing tiering and strength.
Until Fuji displays a technique to counter power, Sanada's Lightning and Black Aura will finish him.
Yukimura and Sanada are the same. Yukimura can see through ALL special shots. The counters would be ineffective. Yukimura's shots ALL got the base line and he would avoid Cord balls meaning 6th Counter is ineffective.
So are you saying Fuji wont lose to them in the future? Or that Fuji is above them?
Since yeah, with plot power, Fuji could be at their level or even above but right now, Fuji has shown nothing new since Nationals. and Nationals!Fuji would get destroyed by Yukimura/Sanada, he wouldnt beat Akutsu, Atobe, Tooyama, Shiraishi, Niou(Since he has ZSS).
Fuji is Fuji he is a Prodigy/Genius I dont think because of Mind fuck acting of Irie would destroy fuji. I doubt it. Fuji has always been shown to be an extra ordinary player and with drastic improvements every match. remember the match between Fuji and Niou? when fuji showed him a new counter he was speechless. we ddnt even know how it happened. so I'm sure fuji will show other impressive moves in his coming fight.
What technique would Fuji use against Irie who made Atobe's smashes look soft?
You think the counters would work for Fuji to win 6 games? No way.
Bottom line. Fuji wont beat Irie til he gets something new.
I remember Fuji VS Niou. He could only counter coz Niou became Shiraishi with the golden arm weight and hit a cord ball. I dont think it can be used against non-cordballs.
and to all thinking that Shiraishi > Fuji LOL. It was a character development in Fuji's part Konomi made to show us how a single defeat would change a character's ability drastically.
Shiraishi > Fuji. Konomi trolled us and told us that Shiraishi was playing with a freaking gold weight during the match. End of.
Until Fuji learns something new, its Shiraishi > Fuji.
If Shiraishi faced 5th Counter without the golden weight, he would avoid cordballs.
