lol..When you said he lost to Sanada...I was like really I didnt think that was in the manga xD...I seen the anime first as well so it had a stronger impression on me...Losing to Tezuka doesnt exactly count. It wasnt even an rankings match...Become the Pillar of Support for Seigaku..Blehz make it more unrealistic some more eh? Coming back from 0-5 to win 7-5...

It's possible if he plays with out his memory first ^^; (not likely....) But you never know... maybe Yukimura is really good (I mean, he has to be) and Ryoma couldn't beat him untill he reach the penacle... Konomi always does these kind of things (making a character loose really badly and come back to win in the last match point
-_______-;;......

yeah i like that idea

but i still want him to own momo be4 the match and both cant happen =(

Well anything is possible with Konomi lol..beating Atobe was a ridiculous feat..I think that was the start of me disliking the manga...Well Yukimura wont be bad. But how good is he..Its all hyped up at the moment. I dont think we have seen a single match that he participated in yet(might be wrong..been so absent-minded reading this..just wanted to finish this manga). But the fact that he WILL win is just bothersome. So annoying and predictable since the beginning of the manga. He drags the matches till the end..I mean I get excited too reading/watching some of the matches but it just happens toooooo often..even more for echizen.

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

I think yukimura have the true principle of perfection. then Echizen use the fake one againist him. match end with 7-5 yukimura victory

[wildstriker]

^ Only 1% chance of that happening though. We all know Ryoma special training might have some relation to hax power he's about to release in S1 later.

[Manga-Dude]

i not read to there yet but are that in 300- 366?

[ironbomb]

i not read to there yet but are that in 300- 366?

everything we stating are speculations..the latest chapters are 367 or was it 368 now.. forgot.

Neways, not sure how far Yukimara is skill wise..For all we know..he can be all bluff no game lol(even less than 1% chance on that though..). But echizen losing the match...blehz hopeful but doubtful =/.

[Manga-Dude]

i am just read to 257

[ironbomb]

i am just in 57

oh..then stop reading these threads...CONTAINS alot of spoilers for you lol.

[Leehar]

Idk, but I seem to be having a problem with seeing page 15 of 367...
Anybody know if there is a problem with that page?
I'll try contacting onemanga to see if they can fix it

Edit: Cancel that, it seems the servers are down (again...)
I can't get to any part of the website, only the forums.
I guess I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow to finish ot :-(

[Rain-chan]

No, for some reason the entire server's down temporarily... hope whatever's wrong would be fixed soon...==
**************
Ah it's back on now... yay!...
Ryoma looks like he's going to get his memory back before the match... (expected but a little disapointed that he won't be playing S1 with amnesia, it would've been interesting to see)...

[Leehar]

Yeah, woke up and found it back.
I can't wait for S1... :D

[ironbomb]

Blahz I cant wait to see Echizen win....NOT...I really really hope Yukimura TOTALLY WOOPS him.. 6-0!

[kyuukii]

Damn, Prince of Tennis is so stereotyped. Everyone thinks that Echizen is gonna win because he is the main-character-who-is-just-about-to-unlock-the-pinnacle-of-perfection yada yada yada. Well, i beg to differ- I think that Echizen WILL lose, and hopes that he DOES lose. I mean, Konomi mentioned himself in an interview saying that Yukimura was the strongest character he'd ever developed, right? Besides, he can even counter Sanada's FuuRinKaInZanRai. I mean, how defeatable is that?

[wildstriker]

All those who are undefeatable before have been defeated by Ryoma even though it's already on the blink of impossible-ness (i.e; Sanada, Atobe).
Yukimura will also, somehow, but surely, job to Ryoma due to the plot device by the author himself.

[kyuukii]

Yukimura.. come to think of it, we have not seen him lift a racket- let alone play, yet. Okay well I assume Ryoma doesn't know either and would probably be met with a Yukimura who already unlocked the Muga?

[wildstriker]

That's because Yukimura created to one purpose only; to lose to Ryoma.

Like you say, we haven't seen Yukimura lifted even his racket 'till now, just being implied to be superstrong, or better than Tezuka & Sanada at least.

But assuming that Sanada w/o Muga can even battle equally & beat Tezuka w/ 2 Muga & beat him, there's probability that Yukimura ability not just lie in Muga, but some other "hax" ability as well that's equal to it or so...., seeing how great Fuji & Sanada capable to play w/o one, I wouldn't say Muga is the strongest technique/ability in PoT anymore.

Sanada does have Muga doesnt he? I thought he just doesnt use it...Might have misread that part then(?). Neways, the fact that Yukimura has never played a match is whats disturbing me. It can provide Echizen the utlimate victory if Yukimura is defeated but if Ryoma is defeated it would fit in except the fact that Ryoma is invincible.

Thats why I like Fuji the most. He uses techniques to defeat his opponents rather than this supernatural bs even though the techniques are unreal its still far better than seeing OH LOOK ITS MUGA...

[Rain-chan]

^^; Fuji is something isn't he... his techniques were interesting to see but I think Konomi had just overdone it a bit...

As for Echizen and Yukimura... From what Konomi had doen the the past, I still stand by that there's 99% chance he'll win S1... 95% chance that he'll loose 5-0 first then come back in the final matchpoint with some special technique (whether its Muga or not)... But I still wish that this will not be the case =.=) Maybe the fact that Yukimura hasn't played in the manga yet will make the match more interesting...

I think your percentage is a little high lol. I would say 99% that Echizen would be S1 as well. But ~50% to come back if he is down 5-0. I mean if Konomi decides to draw it that way then this truly would become 1 of the WORST mangas I have followed and up to date with.

Yukimura..we arent even sure if he knows how to play tennis...I think I seen him hold a racket during 1 of the flashbacks(or was that in the anime?..forgot). But never actually hitting the ball or playing a mathc. But everyone is hyping him up as if he's a GOD...for all I know he's just bluffing and doesnt even know how to play tennis, maybe same level as mr. I have 3years of tennis experience aka Horio(I think thats his name?).

[wildstriker]

If it's come to draw, then Momo & Yagyuu will have to play, simple as that.....
I don't really mind actually, but hey...., it doesn't sell for a climatic ending If Momo is the one who will win it for Seigaku....

Unless now..., for whatever dumb reason, Momo & Yagyuu actually play S1 first to draw, then the real final match is the reserve match between Ryoma & Yukimura.

Blahz..wont be a draw..it would ruin the manga more if you ask me if that happens. The best ending they could do now is have Ryoma lose...just happens to be what im hoping for =P.

I dont see how that option is possible. Its almost certain that Yukimura is going to be S1. There would be no way that Yagyuu would be there unless seriously BOTH teams agreed/console about this.

I agree that Echizen should be on S1 and the best ending is that Echizen loses. It shows him that there are people WAY better than him.

And would finally break the "magic" bestowed upon Ryoma lol.

[Rain-chan]

hum... consider konomi had already used that 5-0 thing on Fuji that second percentage was a bit high.... but still possible...
If it was a draw (eventhough unlikely...) it would be kinda bad, just proves that he want's to drag the whole series on more ^^;;
And yeah, despite the fact we want to see Echizen loose for one I think the 'magic' bestowed upon him seems quite permanent... unfortunately...

[ironbomb]

hmm now that you mention it...the tie does seem like a decent possiblity. That way Ryoma doesnt have to lose and the team can still lose through Momo because he is tired from helping Ryoma regain his memory... Also would drag out the manga like you mention which is exactly what he is doing right now.

[lastparadox]

oh..didnt know there was a new thread..

anyways..dont shoot me for this but..i actually want ryoma to win..*cowers* idk..or at least have it a really close loss. a 7-6 yukimura..if ryoma loses its still probably gonna go something like..ryoma loses. gets motivated. powers up and/or learns new technique. plays yukimura again and wins..which would draw it out even more..(oh..wait..is prince of tennis going to end with this arc?..if it is i guess my theory would be void..^^;; )
and that tie and play reserve possibility sounds good..it would draw the story out more but i dont think i would mind..^^ hehe..

ah! cant wait to see yukimura play..im expecting something spectacular..:D

[kakashi1300]

well IMO i have absolutely no problem with ryoma losing. but if he loses seigaku loses, which goes with it the exit of the 3rd years without experiencing a nationals title, etc. if ryoma is to lose the best time for it WAS in the kantou finals, because being finalists they can still be in the nationals definitely and a "bye" for the first round match, and we're looking forward to a revenge by seigaku.

[frauleinrose]

My sister just thought of a weird match up for S1.
Momo vs. Yagyuu. Then it'll end up in a tie then the reserves, Echizen and Yukimura would play.


Of course, that's impossible to happen. Who in their right mind would put the CAPTAIN as a reserve?! o____O;;

Too many Echizen Supporters...Must stop the spread of Ryomas Cockiness...lol..I gotta use this line "A win is a win, Doesnt matter if you win by a mile or by a few centimeters." - Vin Diesel from F&F ^^...Loved that line lol. Neways, with that said I just want a lost for Ryoma. I was told that Konomi was planning to end this manga...Or someone told me..forgot. There shouldnt be another arc after this 1.
Blahz, Im not toooo excited to see Yukimura in action. I am thrilled to see a possibility of Ryoma losing ^^.

Yea...but I dont think that would be sufficient enough for me lol. Even if he did lose a single match..I mean come on, EVEN TEZUKA HAS LOST A MATCH...His Cockiness never seems to pissed me off lol...

^.^, Wildstriker pointed that out in a previous post here.

[frauleinrose]

Oh yeah XDD

I agree that there are too many Echizen fans. -____-'' Isn't it silly that Echizen's the only one THAT HASN'T LOST in an official match?! o____O;;

Even Federer loses, get some room people -___-''

Yukimura has to win. It'll be the most memorable ending ever =D

[ironbomb]

maybe not most memorable..but definitely going to be fun looking at all the Ryoma fans if he loses...Ill have an *evil smirk* while looking at all the fans lol...

[Beney]

i don't think he will loose. now that he have a new skill. and the manga coming to an end. but it will be a nice if he will loose in an official match once in a while.

[ironbomb]

I dont think anyone thinks Ryoma is gonna lose...Just hoping ^^ hehe...forget once in a while...Im just hoping he would lose an official match -_-

[wildstriker]

And currently, they gathered all losers who've beaten by Ryoma before (minus Atobe & Sanada), what's the point of that I wonder.... -_-

[ironbomb]

Is that in the newest chapter? Havent read that yet ^^...

edit:

Just read it..lol.."Um excuse me...who are you? " lol!...This new polite Ryoma is starting to get my liking in a funny way. lol..probably all of them up so they can have a chance to beat echizen ^^.

[kusiobache]

then echizen will get his memory back and they will be like HAH WE BEAT U FINALLY, and hell be like wtf!!

and then he plays em all at once and wins lol but that wouldnt make that good of an ending unless EVERYONE was there, excluding his dad cuz then he wouldnt even have a chance.

and by that being a possible ending i mean u see echizen on one side of the court, all his rivals and friends and the other and his dad watching, and then it just ends, that way we can picture echizen losing xD

[Manga-Dude]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaa, the new prince of tennis is came out yes....

[Rain-chan]

:lol: wouldn't it be fun if they all get to beat him ^^ ... and Inui is in a pretty interesting situation running around with that mumified look ^^
Anyway... looks like Konomi intends to continue dragging the series on -______-;;

[frauleinrose]

:lol: wouldn't it be fun if they all get to beat him ^^ ... and Inui is in a pretty interesting situation running around with that mumified look ^^

Mummified Inui is awesome. I wonder how he can see through XD

I get that same feeling that Konomi intends to continue dragging the series. -___-'' Get some room Konomi, jeez.

[ironbomb]

Well..he did say in an interview a while back that he is planning to end PoT...didnt state when or how long but he have came up with an ending...this was like a month or two back. Lol..when I read the chapter I was like..wtf..How is Inui going anywhere in that condition..forget about seeing..how is he walking lol.

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

And currently, they gathered all losers who've beaten by Ryoma before (minus Atobe & Sanada), what's the point of that I wonder.... -_-

the point is to allow Ryoma to get more use to other technique. that is my theory

[kakashi1300]

ryoma not losing once in the series is ok for me, because even tezuka lost his first official match in his 3rd year, and ryoma's still first year. i'm looking forward to a seigaku nationals title because it was the 3rd years that worked the hardest to reach it. ryoma must not lose now, because i hate sad endings. i'm more of feeling a sympathy to the 3rd years than being a fan of ryoma here. surely i had loved to see him lose. but not now, not when it matters to the team. i really want to see seigaku win this one.

[kusiobache]

if shes gonna drag it out that would probably mean ryoma completing the grand slam in another arc(unless hes already done that in the manga) lol sorry i just popped in around tezuka vs sanada cuz i was bored, and before that i had read to around the animes ending so theres like a gap

i dont have a problem with it being dragged out as long as its not just nationals, actually i dont want it to end here

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

do you think she is going to end it in next year

[ironbomb]

do you think she is going to end it in next year

definitely...This is the last arc...

[Rasengan]

i ono why would ryoma lose? hes in the US open iuf he loses here then that means yukimaru should take his place in the Grand slam no point for him to lose it here and i bet anyone rather wins a team tournament than a single title. GO GO GO GO RYOMA

[Rain-chan]

yeah yeah... Ryoma's going to win, then Seigaku's gonna win... I thought we've established that ages ago... or there wouldn't really be a point having the whole manga series following Seigaku would there...
But Konomi should've let Ryoma loose an official match before the Nationals though... now they really all seem like 'monsters' ^^; unreal...
(especialy mummified Inui running around in his condition :lol: still can't get over it ^^)
But yeah, prince of tennis is going to end with this arc... I don't think it could be dragged out any longer... (unless she wants to go on to the year after -__________-;; )

[lastparadox]

lol..yeah i cracked up when i saw inui all rapped up in bandages looking like a mummy coming back from the dead..

[ironbomb]

Now your mixing the manga with the anime...I dont think in the manga ryoma participate in any of the 4(?) great tennis matchs.


lol..yeah i cracked up when i saw inui all rapped up in bandages looking like a mummy coming back from the dead..

Yep..that was the best part of this chapter ^^.

[wildstriker]

if shes gonna drag it out
do you think she is going to end it in next year

The author is a male....

Putting that aside, I wonder why Kintarou didn't show up as well even though he's the best Ryoma rival from all his opponent so far.

maybe he lost along the way.

[ironbomb]

I really do doubt the mangaka can drag this manga out for another WHOLE year especially when this is the last arc. There is basicly S1 left after this current match. Unless he goes Hiatus or something to put the manga in stall to tease us...I doubt this will last more than another 25chapters.

[Rain-chan]

The author is a male....

Yes that's what I thought too... -_______________-;;
I thought I made a big mistake when everyone started to address konomi as 'she'...

and yes, it would be quite dreadful and mean if HE puts the manga on hiatus...

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

are you sure that this is the last arc. I mean we have never see Nanjirou play tennis using mugen

[ironbomb]

Well the mangaka did say that PoT was coming to an end in a previous interview or something(i think?). Of course I only read this as well so I got no sources and forgot where I read it...read it when the nationals(anime) first started to be released, ~around that time.

[frauleinrose]

I guess...I bumped it..? Anyways, the new chapter just got released. I guess Atobe and Sanada are going to help Echizen regain his memories or simply crush him.
I think there isn't going to be a 50.5 fanbook, since maybe the manga's going to end somewhere in the volume 40's.
Speaking of the 50.5 fanbook, the 40.5 fanbook came out and we found out some interesting things about ****enhouji, Rikkai Dai and Hyoutei =D

[wildstriker]

Well, what's it about?, I haven't seen 30.5 as well since my local translator doesn't publish that. >_>

Seems like Golden Pair will win easily after all while Ryoma regaining his memory, Atobe & Sanada will help jogging his memory too.
Now If only Kintarou is present as well, we might have another showdown between Ryoma & him before playing against Yukimura.

[ninja ace 14]

what about tezuka and fuji shouldnt they help echizen too. seeing as tezuka was the wall that echizen was supposed to surpass

[shonenshojo]

well....what if they don't have time and those guys are from the same team so they have never actually competed against each other in a (not school)tournament. Though i think Atobe and Sanada are probably enough to get Ryouma's memories back.
Anyways it seemsthat theGolden Pair are easily going to win their match now

[ironbomb]

Pretty boring chapter I would say...Yea its pretty obvious now that mr. golden pair will win now. It was expected that they would win neways and figured since Ryoma havent recovered that they would drag it as long as possible. But when they are in sync, doesnt that drain there stamina at an incredibly fast rate?

nope only mugen no kyoichi.

[Rain-chan]

donno if Ryoma's going to get his memory back completely before the match... even with all his past 'rivals' it may not be enough... I think Atobe and Sanada will probably be better for him... to bad...he'll just have to rely on his instinct. ^^

[ironbomb]

Worst case possible ending - Ryoma doesnt recover his memories. He enters the S1 match and is down 5 games to 0. Recovers and win the match....that would be the WORST ending.
Best ending - Ryoma regains his memories. Fights a GOOD match against Yukimura, 6-6 tiebreaker...losing the match due to fatigue of having to play so many matches with other players to recover his memory before coming to this match.

Aren't these suppose to be the opposite...?

[ironbomb]

Aren't these suppose to be the opposite...?

nope..I dont want him to win...his cockiness is at its limits...if he wins there isnt anyone that can compete against him which is pretty pathetic and instead of prince of tennis should name it Ryoma Echizen.

[Rain-chan]

Well it is the 'prince' of tennis and not 'princes'... so I guess in this case Ryoma is it ^^; (unfortunatly...)
And unfortunatly for us, the best ending for the manga is the worst ending... ^^;

[ironbomb]

Just because you are the successor of a legend DOES NOT make you unstoppable. Come on...if he never loses just shows that.

[Rain-chan]

True... which got me thinking... did Nanjiro ever lost? He also seems to have been blessed by this winning streak magic... ^^; But you're right, Konomi should've make him loose an official match earlier if he doesn't want Ryoma to loose in the end... now it's just going to be too unrealistically perfect -____________-;;

I dont think he actually lost an official match either.. he did lose to Ryuzaki(name check..the manager...old hag =P) lol...but that doesnt count.

Guess it runs in the family...

Again, never take anime filler into canon storyline, can't believe how many times I said this already. a.r.g.h....!

Anyway on new chapter, seems that Ryoma finally recover from his memory loss..., while Kintarou jobbed to Yukimura, effortlessly in a page, ala Chad.... >_>

[xXxOxXx]

Final match! Looks like my favourite sports manga is gonna end soon. :(

I hope the match between Yukimura and Ryoma drags on.

[Tomm-E]

IS EVERYBODY PSYCHED!?! =P
I know I've said this time and time again that PoT has become a disappointment but I still can't help but wait to see what kind of match this final one will be. One of the greatest sports stories finale...

lol sorry bout that.

lol..wtf was that, Kintarou wouldnt actually lose like that, if he did then Echizen better not win TT

Here comes one of the worst sports manga ending -_-;

[siber222000]

lol i can't wait for next chapter.. but seriously, how did kintarou lose that badly... hell that yukimura guy didn't even took off his jacket lol. echizen better unlock final door of muga *perfection* and *invent* new moves! :D *double spin cyclone smash... drive P... etc etc etc* lol sorry bout that.

lol..wtf was that, Kintarou wouldnt actually lose like that, if he did then Echizen better not win TT

Here comes one of the worst sports manga ending -_-;

[ironbomb]

That was just a horrible portrayal the difference in strength echizen to yukimura....like stated in the manga echizen is consider an equal to Kintarou, but getting abused that bad just to show the difference in skills and such..blahz thats just to extreme....and echizen comes to win.. ffs...how much more bs do they plan to throw in...

[wildstriker]

The last BS, since Yukimura practically a God in tennis (and considering this is the last match as well), topped him will mean Ryoma come out as the best player in PoT.

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

Damn they kept on not showing his tennis matches.

[ironbomb]

It was probably an ace return or something lol...sadly I will probably hate myself for saying this, I was actually "GLAD" to see Ryoma regain his memory when Sakura confronted him outside the stadium...

[lastparadox]

KYAAA! i am so psyched! i love this..bs included..=P
i finally get to see yukimura in action! yay! although..yukimura defeating kintarou without even taking his jacket off is kind of ridiculus..maybe not breaking a sweat but..idk..still..it was awesome. hehe i wonder how well ryoma will be able to do after playing against all those players..he should be exhausted..anyways..i was a bit disappointed they didnt show any of the memory-jogging battles ryoma had..those wouldve been nice teasers for the real battle..

[wildstriker]

It was probably an ace return or something lol...sadly I will probably hate myself for saying this, I was actually "GLAD" to see Ryoma regain his memory when Sakura confronted him outside the stadium...

It's Sakuno... :mad:, but I guess no one will even bother to remember her name, seems like she's about to confess about her love or something in that page though.

lol my bad again, geez I dont remember her since she havent appeared in like what 129012310 chapters? Anyways, Yea I thought she would have confessed on that scene as well lol.

hmm, They probably gonna end up showing some of the matches he had with the players during the Yukimura match as flashbacks or something to prolong the manga...

[darkninja27]

But Ryoma is back with his memories... i think an there is prolly one of the best tennis players waiting for him. Does anyone know though how Yukimura compares with Tezuka...because when I saw Fuji's match, right now i dont think that anyone can take Fuji

[ironbomb]

According to the current storyline..Sanada > Tezuka and Yukimura > Sanada, so it would only be good to assume that Yukimura > Tezuka and Fuji cant be compared to Tezuka yet since they havent played a match yet and that match that played between that copycat and Fuji doesnt count since its not accountable for the real 1...

[MangaMan777]

yeah, but in the flashback Tezuka >= Yukimura and Sanada didn't really compare yet.

[ironbomb]

In the flashback Sanada = Tezuka, I thought? and Yukimura was always better than Sanada...

[wildstriker]

No, according to Sanada himself, he had NEVER won against Tezuka before their recent showdown, so in the past Tezuka > Sanada, Yukimura is discribed as equal, but as of currently, Yukimura has probably suprassed Tezuka like how Sanada is now equal/slightly better than Tezuka.

[ironbomb]

gosh, I am forgetting the details of this manga...the most important thing is Echizen never lost...lol

[Rain-chan]

i was just thinking... did Echizen really got all his memories back? it wasn't really said in the last chapter...

so, provided that previously Yukimura > Sanada, Tezuka > Sanada, Tezuka>Ryoma, Yukimura=Tezuka? then now it's Sanada>=Tezuka?, Ryoma> Sanada, Yukimura>Sanada so Ryoma>Tezuka? Yukimura > Tezuka... Ryoma? Yukimura...??? @.@... ok... I probably should stop thinking about it...

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

current Yukimura>all. Sanada>Tezuka>Echizen= Kintaro
Yukimura with jacket overwhelm Kinataro
thus Echizen need miracle to defeat yukimura

[ironbomb]

and we all know how magical Echizen is, so it doesnt take a miracle to guess the outcome!

[Beney]

the battle have started and seem that echizen is starting on fire. can't wait to see yukimura's true strength. just have to wait for two weeks for the next one.

[The_Mask]

woops, page 12 Yukimura doesnt have any jacket ^^
but then page 13 it's back on :))

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

I am surprise. ryoma make yukimura jacket fall without entering mugen. Amazing

[MangaMan777]

These chapters just seem way too short.

[kusiobache]

yeah its obvious echizen just wanted to show that he could be a challenge for "the child of god"

and of course they seem short half the damn pages in this one was just staring

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

Yukimura play style is very similar to Perfect tennis so far. He did not waste a move

[Rain-chan]

... Short chapter... but at least they're finally showing some tennis play...
Well even if Yuukimura is the 'child of god' he's still human... and ryoma is still as cocky as ever... want to see him loose... ... not gonna happen TT.TT

[kishin]

i still dont get what they meant about yips? can someone explain that?
what i got from that is yukimura can cause his opponents to have yips?

i cant wait for this match. no one, reading the manga know yukimura's abilities , but yukimura has been observing seigaku and echizen's abilities maybe even watch videos from the kantou finals. yukimura says he can counter sanada's lightning, he went muga long time ago, and he probably knows about the pinnacles, cause i think tezuka used it to beat sanada back in the freshman days.

of course echizen is gonna win. It's not about being a ryoma fan, its the manga author. Why make a manga where the hero fails in the end and seigaku has come so far.
all i can say is ryoma is arrogant now but he will be sweating and will be beat up before he wins.

[AniFanZ]

I'm so excited to know how strong yukimura is.. maybe he can do the pinnacle of prefection like tezuka.. plus he also has the muga--- that means he's probably on par with the current tezuka..or maybe even better..
how can ryoma beat him? did he learn some secret technique when he's training with his dad before he lost his memory...?

[Rain-chan]

goining in to the yips means to stunned to say anything?... ^^... basically traped in a state of disbelief... (just guessing)... ^^;...
But really, I want to see how stong Yukimura is too. I can just see it, konomi's going to make him a completely unrealistic godlike figgure... hope he doesn't go too extreme... I think one Fuji is enough... ^^;

[ironbomb]

@rain-chan lol..which character thus far that Echizen defeated RECENTLY is a "realistic" figure =P...Geez everyone he beated was just blehz, starting at the end of the Kantou tournament till now. Undoubtly though, Echizen will become the "ULTIMATE" tennis player of the highschool era -_-...wait they are middle school students...?zomgz I dont even remember what they are!!!

[Rain-chan]

...lol... very true...
It's hard to think middle school tennis club students can play like that... Can't imagine what it would be like if international pro tennis was brought in... ^^;

[ironbomb]

lol...goes and watch the anime again =P, lol!! echizen defeated a few pros there =D.

[Rain-chan]

ex-pros'... but I guess he might've had at the American opening...
*sigh*... I guess it's useless to ask for realistic tennis in PoT anymore... ^^;

[methaniel]

Nothing really new in this chapter, Yukimura is awesome! Echisen is going to use the same technique as his captain? Seems like, plus he can combinate it with his own skill who looks like Tezuka-zone but a little bit different (I don't know the difference though)

[ironbomb]

*sigh*

anyone else felt a bit annoyed when Echizen stated, its a game about me winning..first thing I thought about was...its a manga about you winning!...

[kusiobache]

well i think the chapter was good, we can obviously see the child of god is strong, so hopefully echizen does something amazing to win, and it doesnt turn out to be something cheesy

however when he was on the ground i was thinking he would give up?

and just to clarify when hes saying mada mada dane is he telling yukimura that yukimura has alot to learn? or that echizen himself has alot to learn? cuz this really doesnt seem like the time to say his opponent has more to learn lol

[qwerty28]

what technique did echizen use at the end of manga? i dont quite understand it....

[ironbomb]

@qwerty28 : the same technique Tezuka used lol..

@kusiobache : isnt it cheesy enough he is playing s1, since when did he surpass Tezuka or Fuji? lol
I think he was referring to Yukimura when he made that statement...Its just what he says now, not exactly sure if it actually still hold that meaning each time he says it lol..

[MangaMan777]

Yukimura is over 9000!!!

[ironbomb]

Yukimura is over 9000!!!

/confused.

[Rain-chan]

:lol: ... is konomi making us annoyed at Ryoma's attitude on purpose?... now I really want to see what Yukimura can do ^^

And I don't get the part about Yukimura being over 9000 either??? What do you mean?

[xXxOxXx]

... Is Yukimura human?

[orange.neko]

Yukimura is gonna lose... (I'm a Yukimura fan!!!) but seriously, Echizen hasn't even lost one official match yet... and Konomi really likes to make a character lose badly then something amazing happens to them and they win (especially if they're Seigaku ppl)...

But does anyone think that the plot is too predictable... I think that Seigaku is definately gonna win... (I'm totally against it!!!) maybe it's time for Konomi to do something unpredictable, like letting Rikkai win...

but maybe Yukimura will collaspe cause his sickness isn't completely healed?
then it would make more sense, cause Echizen beating Yukimura just isn't logical....

[orange.neko]

I AGREE!!! It's more meaningful if Echizen loses... too bad Konomi doesn't know

[MangaMan777]

Have you guys not seen the It's Over 9000!! youtube video?

[ironbomb]

@orange.neko - LOL...posting and replying to yourself..lol! But yea...thats how I feel...Yukimura being as strong as he is put up to be and then losing at the end, or so it seems is just absurd.

@mangaman777 - nope....what is that -_-;;, I am not a big fan of using youtube....

[kusiobache]

@kusiobache : isnt it cheesy enough he is playing s1, since when did he surpass Tezuka or Fuji? lol
I think he was referring to Yukimura when he made that statement...Its just what he says now, not exactly sure if it actually still hold that meaning each time he says it lol..

well the typesetter/translator put in mada mada dane(after u still have lots to work on) ok if yukimura just owned echizen how does he have alot more to work on...

just watch echizen will have just been "testing yukimura" and then he will win i will be pissed if its like that

[MangaMan777]

So basically he said that Yukimura needs to own him in a better fashion?

[ironbomb]

Isnt there a phrase or something you would do no matter the situation? I think its become a habit more than anything...I would say that too in his situation but ofc, thats because I am cocky when it comes to doing something well and capable off...

[MangaMan777]

so then...

*Yukimura owned Ryoma*
Ryoma: made... uhh... made.. dane.. *knocked out*

[Rain-chan]

:lol: that may only have a chance to happen in a PoT anime side story... and it won't be in a tennis match either... ^^ (too bad...*sigh*)

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

We all seen Yukimura play tennis. what kind of a style do you think it is

[wildstriker]

A genius that doesn't apperantly need any special shot to win, and capable to return any shot without problem at all.

[orange.neko]

Does anyone know which chapter it was when everyone slapped Sanada?? or who he lost to before he got slapped? was it echizen?????

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

Does anyone know which chapter it was when everyone slapped Sanada?? or who he lost to before he got slapped? was it echizen?????

yes it is him

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

A genius that doesn't apperantly need any special shot to win, and capable to return any shot without problem at all.

so is it like Shiraishi tennis

[wildstriker]

I was on the flashback in Tezuka vs. Sanada part.

[lastparadox]

i just want to say pOt tennis has become unbelievably unrealistic..
well no matter who wins i dont think ill really satisfied anymore..

[Aria_Kagami]

i just want to say pOt tennis has become unbelievably unrealistic..
well no matter who wins i dont think ill really satisfied anymore..

true, but i think that it's still really amusing and fun to read about :)

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

yukimura tennis is weird. each time there a climax it will be a flash then he win. the other will say so strong after that

[orange.neko]

i actually reckon that echizen will be able to achieve all three mugas (hard work, wisdom and perfection) and then yukimura will lose because at the end, echizen shows him the pinnacle of perfection.

anyway, i really hope that seigaku loses... which is soooooo unlikely cause echizen havent even lost one official match and seigaku (as a school) havent lost once yet... so, that's kinda bad for rikkai supporters

i think that the plot is too predictable, like when they have a really hard time then something miraculous happens, then they win.

But reading all the replies in this thread, it seems that everyone wants Rikkai to win...

I don't think Konomi knows how predictable his plot is... I would like to tell him (lol), but I have no idea how to write japanese, so... maybe if someone tells him by writing him a letter or something... maybe he'll realise how predictable that seigaku is gonna win but that no one actually wants them to...

p.s. (no offence to seigaku supporters... I just meant the majority of people... actually, if only seigaku wasnt playing against rikkai, then i would go for seigaku)

anyway... how many chapters do you think that the match between echizen and yukimura will last?

[wildstriker]

Finally, the scans is out by rycolaa! :eban:

Ryoma finally able to get a point from Yukimura after losing 0 - 3

anyway... how many chapters do you think that the match between echizen and yukimura will last?

Probably 10 chapters more, or so I hope.

[siber222000]

wow he used pinnacle of hard work on his feet to move 2 times faster, then used it on his right arm to return it, and now.. his using pinnacle of WISDOM!! omfg this is great

[kusiobache]

ok i agree with you, but there is something i want to point out.

this was a great chapter, the way echizen was getting owned then finally got a point, and it wasnt just 1 page he pulled off a nice, and also nicely illustrated combo.

however yeah if he gets a comeback it will be gay, cuz if he lost 3 games and couldnt get a point he should not be able to level up that much this fast

[ibn]

even though is manga is painfully predictable, i can't get enough.

Ryoma progress is so amazing. i can't wait to see how this is going to end.

[Mican]

Oh my..Echizen is rivaling Gon and Killua in nen-shifting ability.

[sbflamez]

well, i was watching james blake tennis match and he was down 2 games and was on the verge of losing the thrid match. but he kept fighting through until end. i was decide in tie break set. but this match in prince of tennis remind of that james blake match i saw on espn 2. so anything is possible i mean.

[orange.neko]

I've just read the latest chapter and I think so far, my predictions are going pretty well... XD two mugas are released already... and I think after Yukimura beats the pinnacle of wisdom, the pinnacle of perfection is gonna come out...

And I totally agree with you that it would suck if he makes a comeback, cause it's just stupid... and unrealistic... also, it think it was weird to introduce that random girl or guy... couldn't tell... anyway... sanada was funny being pissed off

But I seriously thought it was a bad idea to introduce a character at this stage of the story... it's just like they wanted someone to say that line and because they can't get anyone who knows Sanada or Yukimura to say it, they get a random...

[orange.neko]

Echizen is losing 3-0. I think that it's extremely hard to chase three games, especially when you're on love. It would be easier if Echizen was on 2 and Yukimura on 5 or something, but in real life, I think it's pretty much impossible to chase a match when you're on 3-0.

[sbflamez]

well jame blake scoring was like this 2-6, 1-6, 6-5,6-1,7-6. so i am saying anything is possible.

[kusiobache]

Oh my..Echizen is rivaling Gon and Killua in nen-shifting ability.

NOOOOOOOOOOO I MISS HXH whyd u have to bring it up

random person might mean story might continue like 20+ more chapters after tournament xD

well i can hope cant i...

[frauleinrose]

Yukimura's beginning to make Echizen tough up. Still, I hope Yuki wins. *gets shot*

[Beney]

finally yukimura will show his skill. i hope it's in ch 375.

[lastparadox]

interesting..i liked the little flash back and the fact that yukimura is finally serious..(of course he couldnt show his true strength from the beginning..lolz)

[methaniel]

Wow, he really looks like a final boss now...Logically it's impossible for Echizen to win, I wonder what he'll find

[Halfa]

Well, POT has been totally ridiculous for the longest time.........

so I think Echizen is going to unlock some new super human level that allows him to play at such a high level that Yuki will thus be pulverized by one shot.

seriously echizen might as well go super saiyan.

[Duath]

Yeah, no kidding. What even happened in this chapter? Yuki is totally crazy

[kusiobache]

echizen is already like ss3. next his gonna jump up to ss4 and become 2 feet taller, hit puberty, and finally become a man. then manly echizen will kick yukimuras *** watch

although i dont want that to happen

[wildstriker]

I still don't get what Yukimura did to make Ryoma Hyakuren + Saiki Kenpatsu smash missed that far..., Yukimura didn't practically do anything out of ordinary so far before that smash, but I am loss on how Ryoma just suddenly lost his balance and bleed...

Seems like Yukimura will go crazy at any moment from now on though.

[kusiobache]

maybe it really is super saiyan now... and yukimura powering up threw echizen off

all the crap thats happened so far this isnt too far fetched

[Rain-chan]

... yeah... this's really starting to become a fight anime rather than a sports anime ^^;;
Seriously... never knew tennis can become so...deadly... i'm starting to think maybe they choosed the wrong sport for the manga >.>;

[wildstriker]

Talking about wrong sport, I think Air Gear is even deadlier with only a pair of roller skates... >_>

[sena-kun21]

Well, knowing Ryoma's personality, he may have gotten overly excited...or he did that purposely to force Yukimura to get serious. You know how it is...he plays with his opponents at first and taunts them with his "bad boy" attitude to either be intimidated by his skills or force them to play their very best. Either way, he's just having fun...and acquiring new skills (I forgot what type it's called that he can adapt to other people's skills by watching). Caused ultimately, this isn't his goal. His eyes are set on his dad...who's actually waiting on the wing. That's one match I'm looking forward to watch...when this story reaches its climax.


interesting..i liked the little flash back and the fact that yukimura is finally serious..(of course he couldnt show his true strength from the beginning..lolz)

Yeah, his flashback is interesting. Can't wait for the next chapter to display his skills. But what I found most annoying is Genichirou making snide remarks of Ryoma's skills. Geez...just shut up!!! If you can't beat Ryoma then enough with the comments.

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

Sanada might be able to defeat ryoma if he use the first two gate, Tezuka is also using two gate but who win

[animechick2424]

Sanada cant defeat ryoma.... a few chapters back when ryoma couldnt remeber anything sanada and atobe went to play him and ryoma returned with all his memories so that means Sanada losted against ryoma yet again though we dont know wheather he went all out on him so its an if if situation. (sorry my spelling is pretty messed up today midterms in school cant think right nor type right lol)

[Duath]

We don't know if Ryoma won, all we know is he got his memories back. He could easily have lost, as I'm sure a no memorie Ryoma cannot defeat Sanada

POT is just getting way to unrealistic

[sena-kun21]

We don't know if Ryoma won, all we know is he got his memories back. He could easily have lost, as I'm sure a no memorie Ryoma cannot defeat Sanada. POT is just getting way to unrealistic

Of course it's getting unrealistic...it's a manga. lol :p

Anyway, you're right. We don't know if Ryoma won those games against those players who were helping him with his memories. But their reactions may indicate otherwise. And I think Atobe's (I think it was him) comment "the times are really changing because of that bastard's strength" may confirm that here (http://www.onemanga.com/Prince_of_Tennis/371/03/).

[wildstriker]

Perhaps he didn't actually win against them, but managed to counter every last of their techniques from their comment after the "enlightment matches".

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

but to be able to counter mean he defeat those guy. i mean when an opponent defeat every single technique of your, why they still lost to you

[wildstriker]

The new chapter basically showed Ryoma being pwn'd BIG time by Yukimura, I wonder how he will recover from this....

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

Yukimura become Shaka from saint seiya

[Duath]

Wow....

I mean that just became a whole new level of ridiculousness.

[sena-kun21]

Wow....I mean that just became a whole new level of ridiculousness.

Yeah...it does. Doesn't it...?? This chapter was pretty hard on Ryoma. How is he going to get past this handicap...?? Idk. From what Toyama said on Yuki's style of tennis it paralyzes the opponent because they remember the image and can't move past it. I wonder if the outing that Ryoma had with his dad may help him in this respect.

[movie_chick7]

I hope Ryoma wins but the situation he is in now it seems kind of hopless. :confused: But their has to be somthing about the pinical of perfection or something like that. I can't what to read the next chapter.:lol:

[GodOfSpeed]

I got a feeling that he will still win this match, even though his senses had been taken away... maybe he will open the final gate. :D

[sena-kun21]

I got a feeling that he will still win this match, even though his senses had been taken away... maybe he will open the final gate. :D

How do you suppose that will happen...?? Will he need to get hit like when he played an unofficial match with Akaya which the first door (I think) opened?

[darkninja27]

Dont give up hope every 1! Ryoma may have lost his touch... and his sight.....and his hearing, BUT HE STILL HAS SMELL AND TASTE!! lol he can smell the ball back to Yukimura and he can taste the ball right back.... Ryoma is just cool like that

[Mibu Kyoshiro]

it will end up taking away as well. that is what tenbu horin is all about

[SilverKunai]

Prince of Tennis has gotten too.. unrealistic. Despite that, I will still read on.

[Duath]

Prince of Tennis has gotten too.. unrealistic. Despite that, I will still read on.

Exactly my sentiments.

[SilverKunai]

If you play tennis, then over 90% of the things done in PoT are near impossible. It took me a month to learn Twist Serve to a point where its possible to be "good". My point is, the Twist serve is suppose to be a "rookie" sort of move in PoT, while its not in real life.

[Duath]

Sk, you'll find this funny

http://www.instantz.net/PrinceOfTennis.php

Go to the Prince of Tennis Live Action. its amazing .

[SilverKunai]

Give me a direct link. Mozilla doesn't work on Veoh sort of links.

[waterbride]

I can take all the crazy samurai tennis moves. I just wish they weren't supposed to be in middle school. ^^;;

[sena-kun21]

My point is, the Twist serve is suppose to be a "rookie" sort of move in PoT, while its not in real life.

But he isn't a "rookie" in a sense. He's a tennis prodigy. Look at his father. So the twist serve is a piece of cake for him.

[wildstriker]

Everyone seems to forget that Ryoma is still 12... >_>

[lastparadox]

okay~~~~so now we can steal away a persons senses with tennise! loz! who knew! i cant wait to hear their explanation of how this is done! oh but i love yukimura! ive always been a sucker for his kind of character! :o
as commented above prince of tennis has become so unrealistic its not even funny anymore..yet i read on! :lol: i still love the series! but man..lolz..the things they come up with..anyways i wonder if ryoma can win with the way things are going... at first i was sure ryoma was going to win just because thats the way things go in these stories but now im wondering if the mangaka is actually gonna have ryoma lose at this late point in time. of course the unrealistic tennis tactics might be accompanied with unrealistic turn of events..;)

[diehard narusaku fan]

my thoughts about pot's finishing moves:
twist serve=cool dunk smash= easily countered in real tennis snake=cool and useful
super ultra great delicious blah blah blah=........ yukimura's senses taken away whatever= dang near impossible to accomplish
so yeah, pot is starting to get really unrealistic, but i still love it

[jerros]

I was enjoying the series up until this point. They are really draging this last match out to the point where I'm starting not to care about the outcome.

[methaniel]

It's slowly moving, finally, the pinacle of perfection in the next chapter...

[ibn]

does this mean the end of the manga?

i mean, what's beyond the pinacle of perfection? i'm guessing that they will win the nationals and then a short summary of Ryoma's great tennis career.

[methaniel]

Of course it the end...After winning the nationals it would be the end of this manga, and as you said maybe some pics of the future

[sena-kun21]

Yeah...but you forgot about his date with his dad in playing against each other. In one of the earlier vols (22 or 23, I forget which one) there was short story of Ryoma's father going to America to play tennis and why he quit just before he became the number one seed. It would be interesting to see if there was little bit of that game between father and son...being as they both reached the pinnacle of perfection. I know...nobody wants to drag the story on but I love PoT. Who doesn't...??

[shonenshojo]

Nobody on this thread wouldn't hate PoT since they read and post about it.
So from now on it'll be fun to see what the Pinnacle of Perfection can do. It's Child of God vs Pinnacle of Perfection...The series won't end that quickly, Ryouma still has to defeat Tezuka or Fuji in a fair and square match.

[methaniel]

Hmuh, I pretty guess it's the end, it's not like we need some fair match against Tezuka or Fuji, after this match, either it stop like this, either we saw some glimpse of the future, but if it continue, there is absolutly no interest in that
