#it's bc im doing a prince of tennis rewatch lol

[aqvarius]

rewatching hyoutei vs rikkai and it’s oshigaku heaven:

gakuto recognising that yuushi isn’t cool/hasn’t shut off his emotions despite the fact that his face and voice are barely any different than usual lol 

oshitari leg fetish yuushi cool spraying gakuto’s ankle 

the fact that they both have the same Spot(tm) (a la golden pair’s shipping container, such a married couple thing)

gakuto reaching out to the grouchy new transfer student 

the moment when chibi yuushi falls in love 

yuushi putting aside his cool/strategic tennis for the sake of gakuto’s dream

(and you all know how i feel about the impulsive/emotional dreamer and the cool-headed partner who puts aside reason to spoil/indulge them combination)

yuushi/their combination literally boosting gakuto to new heights that he can’t reach alone 

the way he yells “gakutoooooooo” as if that isn’t the least collected, most heated/passionate we’ve ever heard/seen yuushi be in his entire life

and how gakuto just knows what to do, meaning they’ve either practised this before (unlikely?) or they’re basically on the same wavelength

the absolute faith they have in each other doing this manoeuver 

yuushi dropping his racket and running over to catch gakuto as he faints like something out of a romance movie 

the way he looks so concerned when gakuto falls but then relaxes/is relieved when gakuto opens his eyes and speaks 

yuushi doesn’t say “we won”, he says “you and i won” 

also bonus jabun feels:

marui and jackal always being the parents of their underclassman 

jackal gave up his spot playing doubles with marui for the sake of rikkai despite really wanting to play with bunta ;~~~; 

also think of how long he’s had to wait for this opportunity/how hard it must have been to give up considering everything that happened at U-17 camp!!

the way that they share the same values of being selfless (jackal giving up his doubles spot, marui giving jackal’s grip tape [the last token he had of his partner] to choutarou)

marui being angry at tamagawa for wasting jackal’s time and sacrifice 

he probably got his “just try to get in my way” philosophy from jackal covering for him while he was trying out his volley techniques in matches (◡‿◡✿)

which reminds me that marui only really lets himself be spoilt when it’s by jackal, i.e. jackal is the only person he trusts to cover for him (in and out of tennis, which is why he’s always foisting things off onto him lmao)

15 Questions on Prince of Tennis

1. Favourite Character 

oh boi i have a lot

-Atobe is my ABSOLUTE favorite! I love everything about his character, from how extra he can be to how surprisingly kind he is (espeicially to his teammates). Like he threw Kabaji a whole ass surprise festival just so he can see his sister again! He also spends his allowance on his teammates. Then in one of the Npot episodes (i think the specials? I can’t remember), despite him being an asshole about it he did actually truly miss his team (mostly Kabaji ofc bc that’s his best friend) after the losers were to “go home” from the U-17 camp. He’s such a narcissist though but he can back it up. He has every right to flaunt, even if he can be obnoxious with it lol. I also love how like in his match against Irie, how he just looks so villainous despite us, the audience, supposed to be cheering for him. like I love that Konomi still draws him as a villian. 

Rich kid, asshole, paint me as a villain

-Niou is my second favorite, i love the mystery behind this boy. I love how on his wiki page there are like vague things there and you have to just leave it to your imagination. like “He likes to spread rumors (Mostly about Sanada)” LIKE WHAT KIND OF RUMORS? did he pee his pants on the court once? or like is he secretly bad at tennis kind of rumors? LOL I also love how weird he is. He’s neat.

-Sanada is my third favorite character! I think @missolineaux​ said it best in their post here x !  (also i took this from them) like I couldn’t have said it any better myself! Sanada is just AMAZING! 

-honorable mentions: Kenya (i love this clumsy fool, he’s silly and very cute) and Yukimura (a beautiful boy)...you know what, all of Rikkai. 

2. Least liked character

-Ryoga and Ryoma: i don’t really like either of them that much. Ryoga is an asshole especially with what’s going down in the manga rn. You can’t trust a dirty orange peel eater anyway. 

-and Ryoma, to me is just a very bland main character. like I want to like him, but there’s nothing there for me to like. 

3. Favourite Team

-RIKKAI DAI! I literally love EVERYONE on this team? I always love the powerhouse teams. Hyotei is my second favorite. 

4. Least liked team

-Rokkaku? they don’t get a lot of screen time. so Imma say them. 

5. Favourite Ship

-This question is illegal. are you kidding me? All the ships are so good.  Alright I love  Atobe x Sanada. Sanada x Yukimura Atobe x Tezuka, Yagyuu x Niou Marui x Jirou Shiraishi x Yukimura x Fuji (take this as you will lol)  Kirihara x Renji (both platonically and romantically) 

THE LIST GOES ON 

6. Least liked ship

any incest. 

7. Favourite Arc

• Senbatsu Trianing Camp! I know it’s a filler but OH MY GOD. it was beautiful. it’s how I started shipping Sanada and Atobe in the first place. AND THEN the part where Kirihara was like fighting his inner demons. BEAUTIFUL! i love this arc. 

For canon arcs, I’ll go with seigaku’s first matches with Hyotei. and then Their first matches against Rikkai in the same tournament arc...i think?? 

8. Least liked Arc

-uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh N/A

9. Favourite Movie/Ova

Atobe’s gift and that British Castle Movie! im honestly going to have to rewatch these when I get the chance bc I don’t remember them too well lmao. 

10. Least liked Movie/Ova

• Two Samurais. Sorry.

11. Favourite Match

AAAAAAAAAAHHHH I can never list one of anything LOL

Atobe Vs Tezuka Sanada Vs Tezuka Yukimura VS Tezuka (in the manga)  honorable mentions:  Niou and Yagyuu vs Eiji and Oishi Kirihara vs Fuji Also Fuji and Atobe vs those Australian dudes bc that had me FUCKED UP. 

12. Least liked match/a match you think should have gone differently

should have gone differently: Yukimura vs Tezuka (but probably bc im bias LOL)  least liked match: i can’t think of one tbh. at least not off the top of my head. 

13. A match you'd like to see

-Sanada VS Atobe  -Shiraishi vs Atobe  -Hiyoshi vs Kaidoh (or any of the future captains going against eachother) 

14. An interaction you'd like to see

• Plant Trio plotting someone's murder. (this was @missolineaux answer and I’m not changing it) ​

• Yukimura apologizing to Sanada for what happened at the hospital (canonly recognised as something Yukimura deeply regrets)  (this is also their answer LOL ) 

-More Niou and Atobe interactions I love them. 

15. How do you feel about adding Aliens?

I won’t be surprised by anything at this point.

67. good luck charms? idk how to describe it but it’s this little metal toy helicopter i got from my grandfather. the axis is detached from the copter itself and spins on a screw that you can balance on top of the copter to make it spin on its own. my grandfather used to keep it in his office where he read the newspaper in the mornings, and when my family and i visited him i always stayed in the room right next to his office so he would be the first person i greeted every morning. after he passed away a few months ago i took the helicopter home with me as a memento of him because i miss him so much
