Mamoru Inoue here. Prior to this event, I had a chance to interview the coaches at the U-17 camp, and they granted me very interesting pieces of Data that I'm allowed (and of course, will) share with you!

Let's see what these two contestants bring to the table, shall we?

Speed: How fast his game is and how fast he reacts towards his target.
Power: How powerful his looks are and the impact they have.
Stamina: How much they can endure and how much they can do without a rest.
Mental: How they react towards their target, different approaches and even tactical knowledge.
Technique: How skilled they are when performing.

Yukimura Seichi
Nickname:
The Child of God
Kurobe's Analysis: When it comes to ladies, he doesn't seem to bring the same level of game as he does in the court, perhaps due to a lack of interest in the subject.
Speed [3]: When it comes to women, his reactions are nothing but average. He prefers to sit back and attack in the right moment with a precise approach.
Power [4]: He's gifted with a very unique and appealing look, showing signs of delicacy even if his inside is the total opposite. However, he doesn't seem to take much care of himself.
Stamina [2]: Even though his heart can be cold like ice, it is not as strong. Being on the top all his life, he is not used to total defeats -a common thing when it comes to women- and he has a hard time recovering from these blows. He needs to work urgently on this.
Mental [3]: If we were to only consider his calculative nature, his Mental prowess would probably be among the best in the camp. However, his improvisation skills are lacking and his already mentioned "weak" heart is his Achiles' heel.
Technique [3]: Even if he is naturally gifted when it comes to looks, the same cannot be said about his skill. If his one trick doesn't work with the woman in front of him, he seems to become a victim of his own Yips.

Mifune Memo: HE IS BUT A MERE CHILD, NO GOD TO BE SEEN. THOSE PLANT DWEEBS ARE A BAD INFLUENCE, I'LL GET HIM A BETTER ROOM.

Sengoku Kiyosumi
Nickname: Lucky Sengoku
Kurobe's Analysis: His potential seems to be second to none, but this rough diamond needs a lot of work. He seems to be as lucky with women as he is with tennis.
Speed [5]: The velocity of his game is second to none in the camp. Once he spots a lady, thanks to his motion vision, he doesn't let her escape his sight and seems to teleport next to his target.
Power [3]: He is potentially one of the better looking guys in the camp, but he severely has to work on having a less "annoying" smirk.
Stamina [6]: If it's about women, his endurance goes beyond the limits of humanity. When he goes to sleep, he feels he hasn't accomplished anything if he doesn't approach at least 7 women during the day.
Mental [2]: His resilience is admirable and he never takes a "no" as an answer, even if it's the only answer he ever gets. However, once he approaches women he always tries the usual things, never coming up with anything new nor original -even less when he's on the spot.
Technique [1]: As mentioned before, his approach is lacking. While saying "hi" can be enough to start a conversation, the depth of it shouldn't stop there. Perhaps some time with his coach at Yamabuki would help his weakest aspect.

Mifune Memo:
I WANT TO PUNCH HIS FACE SO BAD. WHAT A WASTE OF POTENTIAL. I WISH MOMOSHIRO HAD BEATEN HIM WITH BROKEN WRISTS AND THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THIS GUY WOULD GET A VICTORY. ACTUALLY, SCRAP THAT, I HATE THE BURGER KID AS WELL. ANYWAY, GONNA GET THIS GUY IN THE NATIONAL TEAM ONLY TO SEE HIM WRECKED.

That's it for now! Who will be the victor in this battle between these two naturals? That's up to you to decide!

I'll be giving more (totally official) data to my dear readers in the near future. Be sure to check often and keep on the tennis fight... (wait, wrong event).

Yukimura is like half dead...Sengoku is clearly the better choice.

Well, I'm gonna add some arguments to your data, Mifunoue.

His speed is average, you say, but that's because Yukimura isn't inherently a player.
Because he writes and reads poetry, and because he paints and likes impressionist paintings, you can assume he's a man who values emotions highly. He would believe in a subtle approach, or rather, he prefers to develop love in a more natural way.
From gakupuri, even as he admits his love, he gives the main character time

His hair looks like it's an impossible struggle in the morning, although I personally rather like the structure of his hair, but I can assure he takes good care of his body.

I'm going to say Yukimura's cold heart warming up in love is what makes his charm. Because he possesses both the firm resolve and qualities of a leader, and an artist's capability of his heart being swayed by feelings, he makes for an excellent lover. Because the Child of God is but a human.
It's true he is not good at dealing with defeat, though, although he does know when to give up and work through his feelings, unlike a certain Sengoku.

You're referring to his pickup line here, aren't you? Then, let me refer back to Yukimura preferring the slower path to love.



You can expect him to have his attention on you, and only you, as opposed to a certain Sengoku.

If we're going to argue using gakupuri as evidence, Sengoku may have a "quantity over quality" view on finding the girl of his dreams, but once he is really serious about a girl he will give all of his attention to her, and no one else. The otome games as well as his hobby of fortune telling and mysticism suggest he is deeply romantic and interested in the concepts of soulmates and destiny. He spends all of his extra money on fortune telling magazines, and in one game he is shown whining because he can't purchase the special soulmate edition of his favorite one. He may admittedly have some moments of insecurity that lead to him presuming his gf isn't as into him as other guys who he feels can offer more, which in turn can lead to him attempting to cut off or sabotage the relationship before it can begin, perhaps even to protect himself. But he is always clear about his feelings on the matter and will trust her when she tells him she's serious.

I have a hard time imagining Yukimura caring as much about a partner as Sengoku who seems pretty invested in finding love....

Also his punchable face is a charm point to those who can see it. :^_^

bruh i got no clue whats happening here but i dont have money. need stable lifepartner that will last me a life (best case scenario) and not die on me and leave me alone with 1500 garden plants no one asked for. or one that has breakdowns over tennis (get a rl job). sengoku seems desperate enough to not care about who i am as a person (spoiler, i'm not a good person) + his punchable face is super adorable and stretchy and squeeeezy and most important he hot bod. i was kiddin for that last part btw. his real charm is his happy and nice persona.

Yukimura topped Atobe's ~13 years of reign in valechoco rankings this year, so suck it Sengoku :P

I'm p sure that surgery thing will succeed and you get the most alive boy ever
plus it's tennis, everyone except fudou and higa have plenty a money

on the other hand sengokus interest in astrology and the likes also shows he's easy to sway by external factors
plus a lot of money can go into stones and shit
I don't wanna live in a house full of stones n shit cause that's gonna become a mess to be in
at least gardens are outside

lol @ the smell thing, cause
Yuki doesn't like chemistry because the smell reminds him of the hospital
I doubt he'd let himself smell like that as well :v

His dad is an accountant so I'm sure he's learned to be pretty good with money and that he gets a reasonable allowance...but either way his collection of lucky stuff doesn't require watering at least (maybe charging in the moonlight or some shit). A lot more money goes into hospital bills than a dang lucky crystal tbh......

I don't think he's easily swayed be external factors. I think his belief in astrology and such is more of a romantic/spiritual thing, and he probably uses it to determine how he will approach situations or to create favorable situations (wearing lucky colors etc) but it's not as if he blindly believes just that is enough. He's really determined and hardworking (even though that doesn't always show in the plot lmao) and knows that luck and fortune doesn't come naturally and he can't put all his trust in the universe working out for him.

Besides....I would rather have a lively boy who believes in love than a dying boy who accepts the name "Child of God" any day. Too much drama for me...

Can't he just, like,
think how to approach things himself instead of relying on the whims of the stars to sort of guide him in a direction :v
Plus all that symbolic stuff has a lot of rituals, like meditating with crystals and definitely moon-recharging
And the things that are spiritual and stuff like that keep changing and astrologic theories keep being revised, so it's not like he'd stop buying stuff

Also I don't mind watering flowers :v they're alive after all
it's a bonding activity :v

Besides, when it comes to hardworkingness
Yukimura beat Mysterious Disease and came back to sort of full health, all on his own power.

Plus I said it before, successful surgery = no more dying, well-off family = plenty money
tennis = plenty money

Since y'all are legit going at it, I'll do my best to decide based off of the points you've made c:

Question: How successful are we claiming this surgery was if he still needs more treatment...? Like no offense, but Mura might be headed towards an early grave if he doesn't learn his limits. And even if it was a successful surgery, he probably pushed himself too far in rehab and guess what? Now he needs more treatment because he wasn't careful. Like I understand and sympathize with the desire to win, but you gotta make sure you live another day. He's a bad bitch, and you can't kill him, but not for lack of trying.

And I'm not about to be a trophy wife to an athlete because I've got shit to do. If he expects me to take care of a mini greenhouse while he's trying to murder Echizen at Wimbledon, he's got another thing coming lmao. Like go ask Shirashi, my dude. And with all these miraculous Japanese tennis boys rising up, the market is saturated, and he's not gonna make as much from brand deals (don't @ me lol, I used to be on the professional athlete track so I'm gonna think our potential finances through). On the other hand, the children of accountants live a financially aware life. Even if they're both well off tennis boys, Sengoku is more likely to know the value of a dollar. He probably keeps all his receipts in a little box until tax day passes lmao.

However, I don't really get the astrology hype. I am religious af though, so I can sympathize with and respect the intense feeling of spirituality and trying to work with what the universe throws at you (which I think is more Sengoku then blindly following "astrology fads"). I wouldn't mind meditating with him. The peace and quiet is really nice, and even in the silence, it's a nice bonding experience because you both come out of it refreshed and you can ease into another activity together. Hell, I'll bring over one of my salt lamps so he can refresh himself after another match Konomi won't let him win despite all his luck . I'd probably give him a lil room to organize all of his mystical stones and charms, and I'll even gift him a diffuser with essential oils lol. Idk how sensitive Mura is to those smells, but I quite literally can't go without my lavender and tea tree oil so we gonna have a problem if he doesn't want it around :'D

I also just can't picture Mura having a stable romantic relationship? Platonic? ...Yeah? I just feel like shit would eventually go down if someone tried to romance him for an extended period of time as is. His life is like a kdrama, and I just don't have the energy to be the love interest for a male protag like him lol. He's got to work through some shit before becoming a proper husbando. And truthfully, Sengoku's also got his own shit to sort through in terms of confidence, but it's not as bad? And because his luck famously doesn't pan out, I'd agree with teru that he's aware luck isn't everything and it's not a tick in the "flaws to work through" column.

//coughs so yeah, imma go with lucky tennis boy

:confetti

I enjoyed the shitposts, but I can't help it

1. Yukimura is that guy who looks completely the opposite of what you'd think he would be on court. The first time he was introduced, he was a frail boy whom you don't even see outside the hospital, and by the end of the series, he has this complete bad ass presence with a jacket on his shoulders, a strong personality, and the skills to back up the reputation of his entire team to boot. With that kind of character and presence? This husbando is hotter than urs and you know it lmao

2. This boy brought Rikkai to Nationals with his strength, dedication, and devotion to tennis. This isn't something he did alone. He's a good leader, you all saw how his team adores him. He's able to inspire others around him to reach and win Nationals several times in a row. Apart from these traits just being really attractive in a husbando, it also means he's good at handling situations and people well, which is always a great aspect to have in a relationship and building a family C:

3. He might be harsh when it comes to giving comments but he was able to build a team that reached Nationals thrice and won twice, and to be fair, he did just come from an illness that causes muscles to atrophy and slowly takes away your body's ability to move around, so if he was able to get back from that and get into shape... well, it's not that he has a free pass to shit on others just because he came from that, but you can see where he's coming from at least. I suppose he might also just be really serious about the sport. Of course, you can also view it as him being a shitty fourteen-year-old who's rather tactless and doesn't know any better yet, but he'll learn from his mistakes when he grows up and matures after a few more years, and he'll learn to be an even better leader than he currently is, he'll learn to make better decisions, and he'll learn to handle things even better. This is to add the last point!

4. Let's talk about his time at the hospital. He stayed at the hospital for about 7 months. The kids adore him. His team adores him. That just has to say something about how he gets along with others. It was during his time at the hospital that we were able to see his dedication to keeping promises and to tennis. He just... fought the hardest out of everyone in the entire series. No matter how much the world is working against him, even if it's his own body, he simply never gives up and finds a way to make things work. That's the kind of seriousness and devotion you'll see when he's faced with something he loves, and you just know he'll be a great dad!!!

5. Yukimura comes with a best friend/childhood friend/vice captain/doubles partner/that perfect love interest to make for a good story LMAO (and to top it all off, they make two parts of after a single person, a great warrior named Sanada Yukimura) so you get to have someone to ask advice from about him and tease him with, and you'll have double the support (and double the good-looking men around) because he's always there for Yuki lol

6. Yukimura is a great sport!!! He didn't take his defeat at nationals to heart and even tried to improve himself and his team in terms of having fun while playing tennis. So if you get into a fight, he won't take it to heart and he'll even make an effort to improve himself.

7. He loves gardening and flowers!! He won't just buy you flowers, he'll plant them specially for you, complete with thought put into it. This also shows how caring and gentle he is, and just adds to the amount of dedication you can see in his character. He'll care for you, tend to you, provide for you, make sure you're healthy. This boy is preparing to be the best husbando already.

8. He's also a great scriptwriter and an art enthusiast. He knows how to appreciate art and beauty in all forms. He'll take you to art museums, paint/sketch aesthetic portaits of you, watch and comment on movies with you in great detail. He'll even geek out with you, write fanfics with you, exchange fan art with you. What more can you ask for??

9. He speaks French. He's a boy who writes award-winning essays who can teach you french and write poems and letters to you in french, which is the language of romance and is the sexiest language in bed ever tbh

10. Did I mention that he's absolutely drop dead gorgeous and probably more attractive than most of us here in real life?? Imagine all the beautiful babiesss

11. He's also a piece of shit lmao this boy here definitely has some air in his head, and if someone dares to challenge him, he would definitely act or even outright tell you that it's impossible, and it can be a little dramatic or comedic, but he'll also show you that it really is impossible afterwards. It's entertaining, endearing, and makes you a little turned on after he goes and shows off. He has the skillz to back it up and he knows it.

12. He hates talking about people behind their back, so he'd be the person who isn't too much of a coward to confront you personally. If you have a bad break up, he won't be speaking ill about you to his friends or anything.

In conclusion, Yukimura is the full package. I probably even missed a few points here and there, but all I want to show you is that he's just a young boy who's inherently good, gentle, well-rounded, and passionate. He's that dreamy leader in school who's also somewhat of an overachiever, and he's great at getting along with others. He has his flaws, sure, but he's young, and the good in him outweighs everything else.
