"Western grip?" "Western grip?" "Correct." "Just like holding hands." "Holding hands?" "Like this?" "Wrong, wrong." "(Please don't be like this.)" "Eh?" "(Please don't be like this.)" "Can't hear you." "This person must be mute." "Ha, who knows." "Hey, you guys are noisy." "What?" "What did you say?" "The one you were talking about just now was the Eastern grip." "Eastern grip." "It's really common..." "Just like people like you." "Said something wrong?" "How old are you?" "Junior High student?" "Middle School student?" "Looks like you know a lot." "Get off the next stop." "Simply not there yet." "Welcome." "Yo, kiddo." "We are not recruiting." "Wait, kiddo." "What is your name?" "I'm asking you what's your name." "Could it be you are that transfer student, named Echi something?" "Answer me." "Echizen Ryoma." "So it is." "The prodigy from America." "Show me what you've got." "And who might you be?" "Seigaku Tennis Club second year student, Kaido Kaoru." "You'd better not regret, you will lose." "What." "Looks cute." "He's not bad." "You alright, senior?" "Such beautiful spinning ball, it's my first time seeing something like that." "Hey, hey, Kaido?" "Who's he playing with?" "That's the transfer student teacher was talking about." "Eh, you can even spin the ball into such an angle." "Snake shot." "Game Kaido, court change." "So, it'll be like this." "If it continues like this, he will..." "My reaction was too slow." "Will I lose to this kiddo?" "This is a match of power." "I won't lose." "This fellow, even knows the Snake." "All that was, was a Buggy Whip shot." "It's actually quite tough, since this is my first time trying it." "First time?" "Senior sure is sweating a lot." "You'll wet that uniform." "The weather's so hot yet you're dressed so weirdly." "It's not over." "Come." "Simply not there yet." "That'll be all." "Playing a match without approval, twenty rounds around the court." "But I......" "Forty rounds." "Yes." "The rest of you start your high-intensity training." "First-years will pick the balls." "Yes." "You're the team captain." "Please give me your guidance." "I will join next semester." "First, hand up a registration form." "Ah, okay." "Father." "Oh, Ryoma." "Gave me a scare there." "Is your Mother doing fine?" "It's outrageous." "What were you thinking bringing me here?" "That Seishun High School... is nothing spectacular." "Why, don't like it?" "Don't tell me that to get me into that school, you brought me here all the way from the States?" "Well, you can say that." "Let's have a game." "Here then." "I'll crush you." "Ready." "Start." "Simply not there yet." "Go home." "Damn it." "Ah, what the hell?" "When did you come here?" "Anyway, get out." "Scared you, didn't I?" "Didn't I?" "Get out." "It's been a long time since we were in the bath together." "That's disgusting." "I feel like getting out of here right now." "You're blushing." "You're shy?" "Your skin's so thin?" "Who's the one that wants to get out?" "Tell me clearly." "When we were bathing together while you were young, didn't you like to put your legs like this?" "What kind of joke was that?" "It hurts, it hurts." "You're early." "The English test turned out bad." "No doubt about that." "It was horrible." "Echizen Ryoma" "National champion for four years running, didn't lose a single game throughout the championships." "Wow, that's impressive." "Teacher Ryuzaki." "What kinda guy is that Ryoma?" "Playing with the world's top masters, with 37 consecutive wins." "People said that as long as he wasn't injured, he wouldn't lose." "Japan's strongest player." "It was also because I looked up to him when I was young that I began playing tennis." "Even now, he's still my most respected Senior." "Green coloured, Samurai Nanjiro." "Exactly." "That boy is Samurai Nanjiro's junior." "Even if he's famous," "I will not give him preferential treatment." "I will make him go for training like the others." "Now it's just to ensure that we will achieve victory in the nationals." "Only these." "As expected, it's here, and we are the same group." "Ah, kiddo." "Come to see the groupings?" "About the tournament..." "First years aren't allowed to take part in the ranking matches." "Why would there be your name?" "It's...... because I am strong." "Don't be so arrogant." "Kaido." "Give me your guidance." "Tennis is about hitting the ball back fast." "Let's have this practice first." "No." "How cute." "Jackknife." "That technique isn't too bad." "All the different smashes in tennis, sure benefits you guys." "Too bad your ball isn't high enough." "Sorry to tell you this, but I've checked your data." "The data won't lie." "If not for the data, you would have played better." "What are you doing?" "Ha, ha, ha." "What was that?" "Doing that by yourself..." "Makes one so nostalgic." "This Seigaku uniform, not too shabby." "Let's have a game at the usual place." "Let's go." "When did he come in..." "Everybody gather." "Good morning." "Good morning." "The opposing team is Seishun Middle School, finally we get to play." "I still haven't accepted you." "Ah, I see." "Hey, look at that." "What is this, a kiddo here." "Even a kiddo can play tennis." "How are you doing, Tezuka." "Hey." "Where did this kind of manners come from?" "How are you doing, players of Seishun Middle School?" "Wah." "You even send Junior students when your own players aren't good enough." "Hmm." "Who are you?" "Really cute." "Tezuka." "We'll see you eat dirt today." "All the best." "Who are you?" "Higaki Shioin." "The next player on the court is" "Seigaku's player, Tezuka Kunimitsu." "Finally, he's playing." "Oei, Echizen." "Why aren't you watching the match?" "You're Seigaku's player." "Watch the match?" "Why?" "What why?" "Kaido." "I'm just saying." "Anyway, I don't like these kind of things." "Tennis isn't just a game for solo players, there's also doubles." "Is it that fun?" "Doubles." "It looks like you still don't know much, kiddo." "Two persons together can be like three people." "That's doubles." "Whatever it is." "Have some food first." "Milk and bread are all here." "There." "I don't like milk." "Echizen, it's your turn to play." "I'll be going first." "Hey, have you eaten?" "Seigaku." "Fight." "Fight." "Oei, that kid is really going to play?" "Hey, umpire." "You haven't counted the points." "15" " Love" "That guy's really good." "It's hard to believe he's first year." "Medic." "Hurry." "There doesn't seem to be any problems with his eye." "Just a cut on his lower eyelid." "The match can't continue." "It's fine." "Stop joking." "Captain Tezuka is worried too." "I want to play." "Ten minutes." "If you don't win in ten minutes, I'll substitute you." "Tezuka." "Alright?" "No problem." "Sorry for the wait." "Still playing on?" "Just a little cut, no reason to make a big fuss." "That guy's left hand is as good." "No way." "You'd better admit defeat." "Nitouryu." "Seigaku Tennis Team." "Congratulations on your victory." "Thank you." "Players of the tennis club." "Today, my idiot son lost his game, sorry to bring you guys trouble." "It's okay, we won in the end." "It's my treat today." "Eat, eat." "Everyone, lets toast." "Cheers." "Cheers." "Hey, no." "No, don't." "Delicious." "Teacher, sorry to trouble you, brought you quite a bit of trouble." "I have some good wine here, have a little." "I am the team captain." "Captain?" "Tezuka is a third year student." "Teacher Tezuka." "Teacher Tezuka." "But that kiddo was quite good today." "He scared me a little." "Ah, that was the Nitouryu" "That Nitouryu was not natural." "Not natural?" "He learned from his Father." "His Father," "Echizen Nanjiro?" "You're bothered because of this?" "What, what." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "Speaking of which, that Echizen sure is slow." "Get someone to bring him here." "Why don't you go?" "Why me?" "Damn slow, Echizen." "Ah, my apologies." "We are not open for business today." "Sorry about it." "Come back tomorrow." "Carry on..." "Good accuracy." "What about Higaki?" "Don't worry." "There's no reason that he will lose, given his training regimen." "If this carries on, it might lead to the deficiency of your whole body." "Rest for a year without playing tennis." "Concentrate on your therapy." "Wait till the national finals." "Please let me play till that match." "If it's tennis, you can still play in high school." "No matter what, I want the team members to go to the nationals together." "Swing the racket for me to see." "The zero degree drop shot." "Stop." "As your therapist," "I can tell you that this is your limit point." "That move of yours will add on to your injuries." "You must not use the zero degree drop shot under any circumstances." "Alright?" "Yo." "What's the matter?" "Have your injury recovered?" "All thanks to you." "Recover well." "Competition is one week away." "Be more energized." "Up, up." "Up." "Let's have a good game." "As the captain, you'll lose face if you don't win." "Give me all you've got." "You sure?" "Echizen has the abilities, but if it doesn't get better, he will not win in the nationals." "Give me your best shot." "I won't go easy, give me all you've got." "Give me all you've got." "Let your abilities ignite, Echizen." "Why did you transfer schools?" "Didn't it cross your mind that the nationals are filled with the best players," "even stronger than yourself." "Think about it." "Think about it on your own." "Think of your character." "Stop kidding around." "Echizen's not coming today again?" "What did you hear about it?" "Don't worry about it?" "Looks like he came to school though." "What happened?" "Is it the flu?" "Maybe it's the flu." "Did something happen?" "What do you mean something happened?" "What." "It wasn't easy coming here." "The age of Kanto will continue tonight." "Ryoma, let's have a game." "No thanks." "Oei, Ryoma." "I'm bored." "What's up?" "Why?" "Ya, they want those training camp." "Why?" "Sure." "See you then." "Mother." "There's still one more week" "I know." "Bye." "What are you trying to do?" "Mind your own business." "How long do you intend to stay here?" "Don't try to change the subject." "Captain, please play another round with me." "Just concentrate on practicing for the upcoming competition." "I wish to start immediately." "I'm about to leave." "What are you talking about?" "I don't have much time already." "What do you mean." "We'll talk about it later." "Hurry up, go for practice." "Is it okay?" "For next week's Kanto Meet, the playing members have already been selected." "The first team we're up against is Hyotei Middle School." "No way, it'll definitely be a blood bath." "We lost last year but this year, we'll definitely win!" "These are the Kanto's meet regular's uniforms." "Tezuka choices are Oishi Shuichiro." "Fuji Shusuke." "Kikumaru Eiji." "Kawamura Takashi." "Inui Sadaharu." "The last one is, Echizen Ryoma." "Momoshiro, even though I can't put you down this time you still have to work hard in the future." "Yes." "Captain, I can't take part in the Kanto Meet." "Can I be dismissed?" "What." "I have to represent in the Youth Cup." "I'm going back to America." "What about the Kanto's meet?" "So, I'm giving this uniform to Senior Momo." "What the hell are you saying." "Stop fucking around." "Stop." "This is a rare opportunity to come by." "What kinda joke is this." "Oei, Momo." "Leave me alone." "Don't brood over it." "So, you guys are the players of Seishun Middle School." "It's him." "I brought you a nice present." "See, Haha." "Dangerous!" "That's dangerous, you bastard." "Wait, you okay?" "That bastard." "Calm down." "It's been awhile, Tezuka." "What the hell are you doing?" "Leave here at once." "Don't waste anymore of your energy." "Why is he here?" "You bunch, I'll accompany you." "Play a game with me, Samurai Nanjiro's junior." "Come on out, if you dare." "Echizen" "Don't associate yourself with that kind of people." "This brat." "Isn't he your opponent in this competition?" "Competition?" "Oh, you didn't know?" "Hold on." "Echizen Ryoma." "You would be?" "Hyotei Middle School." "Egate Mcleod Higaki." "Hyotei, Hyotei." "Leave at once." "I will not tolerate this." "Are you troubled?" "Teacher." "Ryoma's going back to America," "Is that alright?" "Whether he wants to leave or not, is not up to us." "If it depends on him, I guess there's nothing we can do." "Here, here." "Hyotei Middle School, please report to the court now." "It's starting soon." "Momoshiro didn't come in the end." "He's still in a bad mood, I guess." "Let's go." "Kanto District Meet is about to begin." "Seishun Middle School and Hyotei Middle School match officially begins." "Please exchange your lineup." "I've waited for a long time, Tezuka." "Sorry, but we will be the champions." "I've waited for a long time, Tezuka." "Sorry, but we will be the champions." "Marking the beginning of the matches." "Heard you guys are the "Golden Pair" who has some invincible double play." "Where's that double play?" "Match is beginning, players please get into positions." "Go, team, go!" "Jump a little higher." "The situation doesn't look too good." "It's only the beginning." "But..." "Seigaku!" "Fight!" "To give you guys so much trouble." "Sorry!" "Momo." "Always felt kinda bad." "Use that move." "Okay." "Yes!" "Happy." "Three against four, almost a tie." "Reporting from Japan." "Game set and match." "Won by Hyotei." "Oei, Echizen." "I thought you were going to America." "Or are you getting ready to go?" "Forget it, watch our show." "He came." "Echizen." "Second round." "Hyotei against Seishun." "Here I go." "15" " Love" "Yeah, we scored." "That's great." "30" " Love 40" " Love" "Game Hyotei." "One game is to love." "15" " Love" "It's starting to progress." "Great, great." "What kind of joke is this?" "Defend." "Yes." "Shit." "Game Hyotei, five games to two." "You'll gonna be defeated." "Kaido, can you still continue?" "Watch carefully." "Hey, it's been hard on you." "See." "Hundred percent." "Unfortunately, your ball won't make it over." "Data tennis is starting to show its abilities." "It's really a strong method." "Use that move." "Counting on you." "Do it, Kaido." "Game set and match." "Won by Seigaku, seven games to five." "It's a pit between physical peserverence." "We can't lose." "Third match is beginning." "Players, get into position." "Start." "Hadoukyuu." "15" " Love" "Winner will definitely be Hyotei." "If this continues, we'll lose." "Takashi, that is..." "I will definitely win this match." "I want to be in the nationals." "Single-handed Hadoukyuu technique." "I can't play anymore." "His stamina is completely drained." "The last ball doesn't count." "Match draw." "Damn it." "Sorry, everybody." "Takashi, good work." "Don't give up." "Go, go." "Takashi, lend this racket to me." "Fourth match is starting." "15" " Love" "Wow, for real?" "Amazing, it dissapeared." "Dissapeared." "No shit." "30" " Love" "Dissapeared again." "Amazing!" "40" " Love" "No doubt, he's a genius." "Wind, you just wait and see." "I'm lucky, I just tapped it a little like this." "Careful!" "One more time, the wind hasn't stopped." "Everyone's putting so much effort." "Game set." "Fuji Shuusuke of Seishun wins." "Next match is beginning." "Tezuka?" "Isn't he the captain?" "It's better over there." "I can see better here." "What are you doing here?" "Go away." "But I'm part of the team, aren't I?" "Nonsense." "Why won't a fellow like you leave?" "Go back to America." "Echizen." "Take it." "Play on, play on, play on." "I will definitely win." "This place sure is crowded." "I see it, I see it." "Are you done?" "Yes, I'm satisfied." "It's the first time we are playing against one another." "Are you prepared?" "Let's have the best match, of course the result will be my happy ending." "Up." "Up." "Probably." "One set match, start." "Get ready." "Tezuka!" "15" " Love" "I already know your weaknesses." "Doesn't matter to me." "30" " Love" "You're too naive." "Watch closely." "Hey look, Tezuka isn't moving a single step." "It's the Tezuka Zone." "All the balls that Atobe delivers are spinning towards Kezuka." "It's like they are attracted to him." "30 - 15" "He returned all my balls." "It's coming." "30" " All" "You're playing not bad." "But it seems like that arm have not recovered fully." "What about his arm?" "Heard he's got an injury in his left arm." "Don't give me any chances, Atobe." "Give me the best you've got." "The four of us will practice with you." "That's called the Rondo to Destruction." "Remember it well." "That's high!" "Why didn't he smash the last ball?" "It won't matter much just to win." "He wants to play with that arm, that's slowly breaking down." "If you go on playing the way you do, your arm will be shattered." "No matter what, I want to go to the nationals." "Change court." "Game Seigaku." "One game to love." "What a fearless guy." "30" " All" "It's already been an hour into the match." "Tezuka, your arm would have already exceeded its limit." "Do you want to destroy your arm just to win this match?" "Look out, here comes the Rondo to Destruction." "Again!" "40 - 30" "Yes!" "Hyotei will lose?" "Lose?" "Hyotei will lose?" "Impossible." "One more ball." "One more ball left." "Push yourself a little more." "Tezuka!" "Tezuka!" "Don't come any closer!" "The match isn't over yet." "Tezuka, you'd better give up this match." "Hey, what will happen if Tezuka gives up the match?" "You don't know?" "Hey, what will happen?" "Ah?" "The one whos having a match with the teacher?" "Wait for that hand to recover." "It won't take long to recover." "Captain, don't play any more." "Please!" "Captain!" "Tezuka!" "All the best!" "Fight!" "Seigaku!" "Fight!" "Don't lose this after you've beaten me." "I will not lose." "Sorry to keep you waiting, Atobe." "Let's settle this." "Alright, come." "Game set and match." "Won by Hyotei." "Atobe." "Seven games to six." "Hyotei!" "Hyotei!" "Hyotei!" "Everyone, it's time for the next player." "Understood." "At the moment, the next match is..." "Hyotei's Higaki against Seishun's Echizen." "Echizen, do you still remember what happened one month ago on the tennis court?" "Higaki, we're counting on you." "We are counting on you!" "Isn't this what idiots say?" "Don't be jabbering around me." "Apologize right now." "I can't forgive what you said just now." "If I lose, I'll kneel on the floor to apologize." "Higaki, you know what you gotta do?" "The day I lose to that brat is the day I die." "I'm a pro." "Sixth match." "Hyotei's Higaki against Seishun's Echizen." "You... are the pillar of Seigaku." "Ah, you don't have to be so bothered, it's just a tennis game." "But brat, it doesn't matter what kind of genius you are, I won't give any chances." "I'm the real genius." "A dog that doesn't bite barks the most." "Ah, a kid like you wouldn't know." "Ha, ha, ha." "Weak, huh." "Love - 15" "Out!" "30 - 15" "That fellow." "40 - 15" "First set, Echizen of Seigaku leads." "Damn brat, dares to look down on me." "Careful not to get hurt." "The match will start in a short while." "We are currently preparing the court lightings." "Everyone, please be patient." "15" " Love" "Forgot how to jump?" "Ha, ha." "Stand up!" "Is he trying to break his leg?" "Echizen." "Echizen!" "Fight!" "Oei!" "You guys are noisy." "You alright?" "Show some respect!" "Shut up!" "Let's go." "What is it?" "Don't be too bothered about what the doctor said." "Don't force yourself to talk." "Those words will come naturally." "Our dead parents will want that." "If it's about money, you don't have to worry." "Damn it!" "There are many better players in the country." "Try playing with them." "Experience it yourself." "You... be the pillar of Seigaku." "Don't kid around." "You're forcing yourself too much." "Even if you get better, you..." "I want to get stronger, stronger and stronger." "I will become stronger." "Amazing!" "Yes!" "A comeback!" "Concentrate!" "30 - 15" "40 - 15" "Concentrate." "Concentrate harder." "Play with your spirit." "I will not lose!" "I will not lose!" "This ball!" "This is the ball." "This ball." "This ball." "Go!" "This ball." "This ball." "This ball!" "Ah!" "Game set and match." "Won by, Seigaku." "Echizen." "Yes!" "Good game!" "Wonderful!" "You're the best!" "Come back to training." "From today onwards, we'll be challengers." "Captain, if you need help with your arm's recovery..." "Ah, I will remember." "Both team players please assemble for closing ceremony." "Forward, forward, Seishun." "Bow." "Thank you for the game." "Senior Nanjiro." "Oh, teacher." "My son has been under your guidance." "No, it's my duty." "First, I better give a call to America, or they will come looking for me." "Good bye." "Echizen, this is yours." "Captain." "Hey, that's Rokkaku Chuu." "Shitenhouji!" "Higa Chuu?" "!" "Wow, even Rikkai..." "Amazing." "Does it bother you?" "Not really." "Let's go." "Go¡­" "Simply not there yet."
