Ryoma: Dad, can you sign something for school?

Nanjiro, shaking his head: If I sign this, you're going to have to learn how to forge my signature. If you sign it from the start, you'll be able to sign whatever you want and they'll never know.

[ojisanmansion]

I'm wondering, are there any sports manga that feature ojisans?

This has set in my box for a while along with several others, but I said I'm going to get back to maintaining this and I will.

Anyway, if you look into sports manga you have a good chance of finding ojisans. While sports manga normally focuses on youths typically an ojisan will be a coach, commentator, or even a legendary athlete.

Some noticeable examples that I have included

Kataoka Tesshin from Ace of Diamond

In Kuroko's Basketball four coaches and one other character are ojisans. (I also haven't added all of them). They are

Kagetora Aida

Genta Takeuchi

Masaaki Nakatani

Katsunori Harasawa

Eiji Shirogane

The rugby anime All Out!! has

Komori Shingo

Yoshida Satoshi

Nanjiro Echizen from Prince of Tennis

Harlem Beat

Haikyuu!! also has a lot of ojisans in the form of coaches and retired players. So many in fact these are just a few noticeable ones

Ikkei Ukai

Fuki Hibarida

Tanji Washijo

Nobuteru Irihata

Takuro Oiwake

Tatsumi Osado

And those are at least in series I know. I'm aware of a few other sports series. Namely boxing ones:

Hajime no Ippo

Megalobox

And there are some other ones as well that I can't fully remember that might have ojisans at some point in them.

But I hope this answer is decent. Serious apologies about how long it took to answer

@itsgettingcrazieroutthere

no cuz... When Ryoga's Aunt finally took him back and Nanjiro had to break the news to him.

instead of asking "so I won't have a mom/dad anymore?" our little dude Ryoga legit asks this;

"So I won't have a baby brother anymore?" HE LEGIT ASKS IF HE CAN'T SEE RYOMA AGAIN, THE BLATANT FAVORITISM.

and NANJIRO JUST; "No matter where you are, you and Ryoma will always be brothers." LIKE?? HE DOESN'T MIND IT??

probs because his favorite is Ryoma too tbh lmao

[allersinwonderland]

I'd agree that it does seem like Nanjiro wanted Ryoga to stay but lost the custody rights. I feel like the parenting that was done with Ryoma honestly feels pretty reminiscent of a lot of Asian-parents for a number of second-generation immigrant families where the parents will place their kids and imbue them with hopes and dreams (and Nanjiro had a more specific and highly difficult goal in mind). He's also a tough-love parent vs a helicopter parent in the midst of all this, so I find it hard to say.

I'd love it though if they would show more of Ryoma's relationship with his mother. That would be a far clearer story on if Nanjiro is a good father or not to contrast the two.

Nanjiros not a good father IMO. He has a very detach parenting aswell as the pressure and expectations put on Ryoma from such a young age to be exactly like him isn’t great I wish he showed that he cares displayed his caring serious side to ryoma and with Ryoga well he’s been nnonexistent in his life and he’s missed out on so many years of his life that’s he needs to sort out that out.

I think Nanjiro wanted Ryoga to stay with him but he really couldn’t do anything much if he wasn’t granted custody rights (or smth) in court. We still  really dont know about the family circumstance (i hope that it will be revealed soon in japan vs spain)

Though it wasn’t his intention to turn Ryoma into an exact copy of himself, the fact that he was a raising a kid for a specific purpose is kinda fcked up even if it was for a noble intention.

[a-dumb-sarcastic-bisexual]

So I started watching the prince of tennis and I have head-canons:

So Echizen is undeniably the team baby right?

Well he abuses the fuck out of that power

Like every once and a while he’ll conveniently forget his wallet at home

And everyone on the first string will reach for their wallet

After the third time Inui picks up on it

But he won’t admit it cause he doesn’t want to admit that he’s the third fastest person to get his wallet out

He’s right after Ōishi and Tezuka

Nanjirō would absolutely sell Echizen’s baby pictures

And they sell like hot cakes

I was looking at Echizen’s wiki and apparently he had 1.5 vision in both eyes (which basically means he had mild nearsightedness)

But I’m just imagining him squinting at everyone

The first string has to explain to random individuals that no he’s not in fact trying to pick a fight (he can do that just fine without glaring at you) he’s just kind of blind

Apparently Tezuka has the same eyesight as Echizen

So I’m just imagining Echizen being handed Tezuka’s glasses when he’s squinting a little too much

If Oishi is the mom friend then Tezuka is undeniably the dad friend

And I’m saying that because I know for a fact that he never responds to texts

Knows how to make most furniture without instructions

And probably had a plethora of random facts up his sleeve that he will randomly blurt out when the first string hangs out

Like they’ll just be sitting around a table and he says “did you know the number of folds in a chefs hat represents the amount of ways they know how prepare an egg?”

And they all just sit and stew in that information

Eiji means every nickname he’s ever given so when he calls Echizen “our baby boy” (in the English dub) he fully means that shit

And because only Oishi knows this he teases Eiji mercilessly

Oishi is the only person that can tease Eiji and actually fluster him so he doesn’t do it often

Kaidō and Echizen often help each other and the rest of the team with English

It’s not uncommon for the first string to study together (because let’s face it it’s a team filled with himbos {excluding Inui and Tezuka})

Inui and Tezuka will supervise and the first person to fall asleep/lose focus has to drink Inui’s newest abomination

Because Eiji is the youngest of five and Echizen was raised as an only child for the majority of his childhood they’re both absolute terrors

The team doesn’t let them spend prolonged periods of time together cause they’re afraid they’ll teach each other their bratty ways

Eiji is the type of person to straight up glomp people

Which usually isn’t a problem until he try’s it with Echizen and next thing you know they both have to go to the hospital cause they have concussions

Both Momo and Eiji will drape their bodies over Echizen

From a far it looks like their just bent over but the closer and closer you get you just see some poor child trying to support the weight of someone who’s a head and shoulders taller than them

It’s not uncommon for the team to pick up Echizen and carry him around like luggage

Once he’s picked up he kind of acts like a ferret (in the sense that you can do basically anything to him and he won’t react)

The second or third years will often walk into his class pick him up and then walk out

It’s such a normal occurrence that his classmates won’t even react anymore they kind of just go about their business

It’s also normal for the teammates to fight over him

Business men and women will often find themselves having to walk around a group of teenage boys playing tug of war

With the youngest teenager often acting as the rope

He doesn’t care tho he even claims it helps with his posture

THE CUTEST!!!!!!

[jheceetango]

sports anime!!

I RECOMMEND THIS ANIME FOR SPORTS ANIME LOVERS AND GOOD AS MUCH HAIKYUU!! WHICH IS THE TRENDING ANIME Tennis prodigy Ryouma Echizen has returned from America at the request of his father and is poised to take over the Japanese tennis scene. He enrolls in Seishun Academy, home of one of Japan's greatest middle school tennis teams, with the goal of becoming the best tennis player in the country. After catching the captain's eye, Ryouma finds himself competing for a position on the starting lineup in intra-school ranking matches despite being only a freshman. The rest of the Seishun Boys' Tennis Team is first hesitant to accept him due to his age, but his skill and persistence persuade them to let him in. Seishun, armed with their new "super rookie," sets out to win a position in the Nationals. Seishun sets out to earn a seat in the National Tournament, seeking to win the coveted crown. To do so, the squad must first qualify by competing in the Tokyo Prefectural and Kanto Regionals. However, the path ahead of them is shared by a slew of excellent schools, each of which plays tennis in its own distinct style for its own reasons. If Ryouma and his colleagues are to become the champions they aim to be, they must learn to work together

"THE PRINCE OF TENNIS" Echizen Ryoma!

[ilovenioumasaharu]

Preview of the characters for the series' first 3DCG Animation Movie :) Hmmm.. not bad

[fionnalovesanimeboysandholo]

Nanjiro Echizen is not only the legend but also the best perv ever

[incorrectpot]

Nanjiro: I haven’t done cardio in 20 years. How hard can it be?

Nanjiro, starts running: It’s immediately awful!

[nuisancehelicopter]

What Nanjiro initially wanted was for Coach Ryuzaki to be Ryoma's mentor. Nanjiro personally trained Ryoma tennis since infancy because he wanted to raise a worthy opponent for himself. He turned his son into a lonely prodigy. Ryoma played tennis because that was all he knew what to do.  Ryoma did not even have strong feelings for the game. He did not play tennis for fun or for anything. His main goal was just to defeat his father someday. Seeing this determination in his son, Nanjiro realized the error in his ways. Ryoma’s tennis was a direct copy of his father's and Nanjiro knew that Ryoma would hit a slump/destroy himself if continued to play like that.

By sending Ryoma to his former coach and her team, he hoped that his son would see the outside world apart from their internal father-son rivalry. He wanted Ryoma to develop his own style of tennis, succeed on his own strength and learn to have fun and love the game for himself.

It was just their luck(?) that someone almost similar to Ryoma already existed in Seigaku. Tezuka himself was a prodigy and a southpaw with tennis skills rumored to be among the best in the nation. With Tezuka, Ryoma could start having other players to defeat apart from his father. Maybe through this, Ryoma would start to have fun.

Tezuka immediately took ryoma under his wing because Seigaku still needed more firepower.  At that time in the beginning of the series:

Oishi/Kikumaru were their only decent doubles pair, 

Fuji was a genius but didnt like to show his true strength,  

Kawamura was only good at one thing,

Inui was still too absorbed in his data tennis to see that their teammates aren’t just opponents for him to study and defeat, 

Momoshiro was injured and

Kaido had anger management issues.  

Tezuka was at a loss in how to actually reach Nationals with team members like that. The atmosphere in among the Seigaku was stale and tense.

I think anyone strong in tennis could have been a good mentor/guide for Echizen. Tezuka did not even directly teach him anything. Tezuka was among the few who could show him that it was okay to play tennis as best as he can for others/for the team though.

The title "pillar of support" which was given by Yamato to Tezuka who passed it down to Echizen made sure that Echizen will give his all to support the team. By doing this however,  Tezuka placed a huge burden on Ryoma. Tezuka unwittingly placed the entire team on Ryoma, which was quite unfair since Ryoma was only just a first year. And besides Tezuka showed his teammates that it was okay to sacrifice themselves for the team and the game (NOT A GOOD THING TBH JFC).

Personally I think Tachibana or Shiraishi would have been better mentors for Ryoma because they are more level-headed and hands-on captains than Tezuka. Plus Tachibana and Shiraishi knew how to value their own bodies and health.

Ryoma was already enrolled in Seigaku tho..so like he had to learn from the senpais there.

Sometimes I forget that Tenipuri’s hidden plot was really about Ryoma learning how to love the game. It’s so subtle and underdeveloped but Konomi showed the lonely world of prodigies for a bit.
