REALITY SHIFTING 30 DAY CHALLENGE

~ DAY 7 ~

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT SOME OF YOUR DRs?

I'm actually doing some DR introduction posts, so I'll link to the ones I have for more info, but here is a short summary (for some of them I also have a longer explanation in my rare DRs post).

♥ My fantasy DR ♥ I'm a warrior in a fantasy world heavily inspired by Middle Earth, but with elements from all my favorite fantasy worlds. I travel with a group of heroes on a quest to save the world from evil.

♥ My waiting room ♥ It's a magical forest with cottagecore and fairytale vibes, there is a glade with a cozy cottage, magical creatures and portals that lead to my different DRs.

♥ Boku no Hero Academia ♥ I'm a student at UA and a member of class 1-A. My quirk is mirror skin, I can turn my body into a reflecting surface like a mirror. I love singing and fairycore style clothes and accessories.

♥ Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken ♥ Avan is my comfort character so I'm shifting to be one of his disciples. I go to Dermline with him and train with Popp and Dai, who become like brothers to me. I take the warrior course.

♥ Dragon Quest: Yuusha Avan ♥ I'm princess Flora's personal maid. I'm a minstrel and a decent fighter (an archer) so the king hired me as a sort of lady in waiting, music teacher and bodyguard in disguise for his daughter.

♥ Ace Attorney ♥ I come from a family of musicians, but for some reason I decided to study Law and start an internship as Edgeworth's assistant. After Edgeworth disappears, I end up working as Phoenix's assistant.

♥ Fire Emblem 7 ♥ I'm the tactician and everything is basically like the game, Lyn finds me unconscious and I join her and help her army with my strategy skills. After the adventure I'm planning to stay in Caelin with her.

♥ Black Clover ♥ I'm a member of the Crimson Lion Kings and use fire magic. Born a commoner, but my mother married a nobleman later on. Some nobles were not happy.

♥ Prince of Tennis ♥ I'm a student at Seigaku and just a normal girl who loves tennis. I'm thinking about becoming the team manager or something so I have an excuse to spend time with the tennis club boys.

♥ Hogwarts ♥ I have a DR where I'm the substitute Herbology teacher and a Marauders era DR where I'm a student. I'm a Hufflepuff.

Hisa-Fuji [ Hisame Itsumi-Fuji Syusuke]

"You can freely Love me, but i don't know if i can love you back" - Hisame.

"It's Fine, i will be your side even you don't love me back. But i want to make sure you know i really love you, Senpai." - Fuji

Fuji meet Hisame when Hisame strolling around Park. She stopped by in Tennis Court and seeing Ryōma and Momoshiro playing (without they noticing Hisame watching them between the tree).

Fuji who noticed Hisame existence, slowly approaching her and of course Hisame surprise with Fuji Appearance //she got goosebumps when see a beautiful man with brown hair standing behind her back.

[They meet in First Season in Tenipuri]

At first time Hisame always avoiding Fuji whenever she meet or unexpectedly bumped each other. Fuji got curious about Hisame and later he found out Hisame is High school Students.

"Hisame -Senpai!" He called that slender young woman with dark blue hair and black iris everyday like that.

"Don't call me easily like that!"

"What a shame, but I'd love calling you like that"

Fuji flirting Hisame everyday they meet in Park,

"You really shameless Junior! Put your respect!"

"I do, so i call you Senpai"

"-----you---"

Hisame who always following by Fuji everytime they go to school finally give up and let Fuji do whatever he wants. But still, Hisame never let her guard towards him.

"How old are you?" -Hisame-

"Me? I'm 15 years old" -Fuji-

"What? I don't want to going out with fresh graduate"

"So what about waiting for me 2 years?"

"You really never give up"

"I never give up about you Senpai!"

------

Ryōma realize his Senpai always going out alone after training every Monday and Thursday, he never let anyone know where he goes. Momoshiro and Eiji also curious with Fuji's action, he looks different lately.

So this Trio make a move and follow Fuji, and yep, you can guess it they found out about Hisame at the moment Fuji looks so clingy to her. This make Momoshiro and Ryōma shivering, Fuji, who always be Tezuka side, now he already going out for DATE?

"He's not my Boyfriend" -Hisame-

"Not Yet" - Fuji-

Hisame never has intentions to being closed to Fuji nor Seigaku. She doesn't know if their meeting is Misfortune or not, but suddenly Hisame Realize this time she already fallen with beautiful young man which someone who never she expected in her life.

Hisame Lately be Friend with Yuuta (Fuji's lil brother), Shiraishi (Shitenhoji), Yukimura Seiichi (Rikkai) and Yuushi Oshitari (Hyōtei) even She know mostly all Tennis Club.

At the End Fuji publicly confess to Hisame in the end of National Tournament //after Ryōma win against Yukimura (he ignored all his teammates and Rikkai even other Tennis club who watched them and screaming)

This is their spring. But the Sakura isn't blooming in long way. Because before Fuji enter U-17, when he and Yuuta visited Hisame in her apartement. The horrifying incident begin.

Someone ring Hisame apartment, but when Fuji open the door he found out someone with black mask and black hat standing with thick jackets (which he use a rosario and cross emblems on the left chest)

Hisame approach Fuji who stands freezing because he know this guys want to do something bad. Under 5 second, The big guys pull out his hand and stabbing Fuji with knife, but Hisame grab Fuji T-shirt, make him jerked back, Fuji falling on the floor and crashed the buffet, in exchanged Hisame now covered him until the knife stabbed now Hisame stomach brutally.

Not only that, when Hisame try to kick that big guy to get out of her apartement, he stab Hisame again twice in Hisame left shoulder and chest. Hisame with all her last strength slammed the door and falling down.

Yuuta hear a commotion in front of the connecting door. When he yells to his brother, Fuji slam and locked the connecting door to prevent Yuuta come out.

"YUUTA! DON'T COME! STAY THERE!! CALL THE POLICE!! CALL AMBULANCE!!!"

"ANIKI!? ANIKI? WHAT'S? WHAT'S HAPPENED THERE? HISAME-SAN?!"

"Call Police, Yuuta,---Call the Ambulance, NOW!!"

Yuuta still shocked when he heard that kind hearted Brother screaming Depressedly. He saw something dark - red liquid coming from under the door. Yuuta with panicking way called Police and Ambulance. He still lock in living room.

After the perpetrator run away, left Fuji and Hisame covered in blood. Fuji doesn't hurt, but he covered by Hisame blood.

"Shuu-kun doesn't hurt? Can i ask you something? For my apologies who always avoid your feelings. Please take care of my little sister. Akane"

"Senpai-- i.. "

"Can you promise?"

"I.. Promise... "

Fuji can't hear anything except Police and Ambulance sirene. He even can't Yuuta word. The body who he held is getting cold. The apartment suddenly got mess and noisy

In the hospital

Because heavy bleeding Hisame die in her 19th y.o in suspicion of murders by police.

----

Ryōma see Yuuta enter Seigaku's gate with pale face.

He stopped Yuuta and ask what happened, Yuuta want to meet Ryuuzaki Sensei, Seigaku Tennis coach. But Ryōma still cornered Yuuta to speak up.

"Aniki and Hisame-san... Got attacked"

".. Where?"

"Tokyo Hospital Center..."

Ryōma run without ask anything again to Yuuta. After he arrives firstly before Tezuka cs, he found His Senpai, Fuji who Standing in front of hospital wards.

"Senpai! Fuji-senpai!!"

Ryōma saw Fuji still covered by Hisame Blood, smiling to him without shine in his eye and welcoming him in the hospital hallway.

"Welcome, Echizen."

-Fin-

P.s :

In Hisame Funeral, Atobe Keigo come to Fuji and give him a brown map. That's thick enough and full of paper with something written there.

"That guy, is someone of Ando Dairenji subordinates, he also representative of World Cup Tennis Athlete. Itsumi Hisame biological Father order this guy to come to you, not Hisame."

"... Thank you Atobe."

"So what will you do after this?"

Ryōma sneaking from Seigaku member and hiding behind Shoji to eavesdrop Atobe and his Senpai conversation.

"What will i do you say?"

"... Fuji.. Don't said.. You will--"

"Of course killing him without exception"

Ryōma shivering with his Senpai words, so now, he has another task to do. Ryōma will stopped Fuji to murder someone

[nuisancehelicopter]

watching tenipuri makes me go like "what if seigaku actually rewatched their matches? don't they record their matches for personaly study? don't they study their own forms?"

but i guess if you have a resident sabermetrician and all your players are exemplary themself and trust your sabermetrician to do no wrong, then there is really no need to study your own form? coz someone can tailor your training for you anyway?

also i think tezuki, fujij and echizen in particular probably have their own training menus and people who watch over their tennis forms outside the club.

tezuka maybe was pretty self aware of the things he must do to maintain his elbow/hand/arm/shoulder

and echizen has his dad regularly checking on him

and fuji has.. idk.. the occult and esoteric knowledge that allows him to have an out of body experience to see his own form for himself? /jk

what is this terry pratchett with the first and second thoughts philosophy?

[kisa-ownworld]

Damn even Seigaku tennis club have bullies..... Where's the other members when u need them?

[kage-gfx]

"THE PRINCE OF TENNIS" Echizen Ryoma!

[mrabbrown]

Part 1; Contenders Anime, presented by my graphic design page @kage-gfx!

[sportbaes]

guess everyone was like that if they lost, no one really liked to lose, but how athletes that accepted it was purely up to them. she had seen this differently from her own matches and watching the boys tennis team play.

she had mentioned that she did camping with her father, her younger brother did come along from time to time, but he wasn't really a fan of it. it wasn't for everyone, maybe kagami had done this before? to hear that he hadn't, her eyes beamed, they could go somewhere together to experience this. camping at a backyard didn't count. "then we can have a full camping experience!" it wasn't really what she thought anyway, having a tent put up and relying on bought food or anything in the wild.

shinoa had explained as best as she could with what she knew about aussie high school. they were different to schools here in japan, they didn't have many holidays or school festivals, perhaps one day she could go with someone overseas for fun. maybe her explanation of netball wasn't the best, but she did try to say it was like two other sports, mostly women played, but men were slowly coming to play this sport too.

"i still don't really understand it myself, i played once but...i still prefer tennis." it was easier for her as she was more used to it rather than other sports, but it didn't mean she wasn't willing to try. seigaku had a sports festival where students signed up for different sports, those in a sport club normally had to play something else other than what they were in.

"i guess you'd prefer the sport that you're more used to rather than something else you haven't played before." though he probably wouldn't think much if he did see her play tennis, even if she could appreciate how someone played their respective sport.

sportbaes:

perhaps that was the difference between the both of them? she could deal with it, she had come across various of arrogant players, even her kohai who somehow self proclaimed herself as the rival of the captain. "oh? well if you put them in their place, i doubt these guys would be arrogant before you." from what she thought from her viewpoint.

he was probably thinking about the flaws of these generation of miracles guys. kagami seemed like one of those guys who got worked up from meeting guys who were up themselves. cute.

surfing as a hobby? something she didn't get to do, camping? yes. not that she got to do that often, but it was different and relaxing. "oh? that sounds fun, i've seen people surf, but i don't think i could do it. i usually prefer to camp when i have time."

it was fine to hear him talk about himself, she didn't mind saying a bit about herself too. yet he had a point, she knew quite a few who were rather tall. it was usually about the genes anyway. her uncle was rather tall, maybe not as tall as the red head was. "you're right, i know a few tall people myself, so i think it depends on the genes."

oh, point guards weren't the tall ones? that would make sense, she didn't know much about basketball. though shinoa thought she could look up the rules or the positions for each player. it was different to tennis, but she wondered how she'd do if she attempted to play? maybe she could always try it.

laughter emitted from her lips, that was rather different since japan also had after school clubs. maybe it was different and it depended if it was important or not, certainly that was the case here. "no, most people just go home. the seniors usually stay behind if they took drama as a subject. others do stay behind if they participate in their school's sport team, although, that's normally netball."

he probably didn't know what that was, it was hard to explain. "netball is uh...a sport thats a mix of volleyball and basketball." it was the best way she could think of it as, it required a team, members to score the ball into a hoop, maybe he'd understand from that?

~~~~

Taiga was easily angered so naturally he couldn't deal with the arrogance of the Generation of Miracles.

He snickered. "...Yeah, you're right about that. Kise wasn't exactly happy when we beat him."

Taiga wasn't cruel enough to talk about how Kise actually shed tears for supposedly losing for the first time. Kise's captain didn't seem convinced that he had never lost before either. No one was perfect when they started playing basketball! So maybe the blonde was bluffing!

"Camping?"

He smiled again as he replied "Sounds fun. I never got the chance to do real camping but it always looked fun. I just camped out at a friend's backyard." His dad was always busy with work but he wasn't happy when he and Tatsuya tried to run away from home that one time so there was no way he could actually get away with camping at an actual campsite so he could only camp out at Tatsuya's backyard to have a camping experience.

He nodded in regards to how some Asians possessed genetics for tall height. "Yeah, that sounds about right."

Some point guards were the exceptions in regards to them being the shortest on the team but having good vision of the court well as acting like a coach on the court were critical qualities to being a point guard.

Well, that was interesting to know. Australians could only stay behind at school in their third year if they had drama club or were part of another sport he had never heard of. The term “Netball” was absolutely foreign to him out of the many types of sports he knew about.

"...Netball?"

"Oh."  He replied after hearing Evans’ explanation.

Well, now that she explained the sport, it somewhat made more sense although he couldn't fully visualize it.

Well, now that she explained the sport, it somewhat made more sense although he couldn't fully visualize how the sport was played. Maybe he’d have to Google it on his phone later on if he recalled the name.

He likes inviting his friends over to his house to play Monopoly and other games. He also tends to enter his Burning state while playing Monopoly

He developed his Burning state from his father

Konomi came up with his “burning” catchphrase since the phrase was popular at the time and to imply that Kawamura knows little English

He used to attend karate classes, but stopped after starting tennis. He was considered a formidable fighter, but would get too nervous during matches and was unable to yield results

Konomi was inspired to have him change into his Burning state from cases of feeble-minded people driving violently once they’re behind the wheel of a car

He and Fuji are doubles partners since they are the only two in Seigaku besides Oishi and Kikumaru that have the disposition to help each other in doubles matches

He states him shouting “burning” has no meaning

He states he does not know why his personality changes when he holds a racket

When asked if his normal or Burning state is his true personality, he responds that both of them are

He is a fan of Lupin III and has nicknamed Fuji “Fujiko” after Fujiko Mine, the heroine of the series

When asked if he’s going to take over his father’s sushi shop, he states that he hasn’t thought about it

He is aware of his actions when he’s in his Burning state

He is described as someone who should understand their other side more to let their charms blossom

Konomi describes him as a “character you won’t dislike.” He wanted to have a player with a dual personality and with Kawamura being the last member he created, he wanted him to be someone no one would dislike

[alexoreality]

Fem! Ryoma headcannons because I'm in the middle of writing an angsty chapter 2

-We all get that in this AU that Ryoma's a girl, not such an original idea

-But if any of you have read the info about "The Princess of Tennis AU" is that Ryoma had been attacked physically.

-It was meant to just cut her hair as 'punishment' in Chinese culture (the bastard that attacked her was also a foreigner in America, what a fucking hypocrite)

-It happened when she was in elementary, final year actually... The ones that had assaulted her were Senior High schoolers ..

-So, present time. Ryoma cuts her hair every time, as a somewhat healthy coping mechanism??

-Like every normal young maiden, She loved her long hair and in the beginning when the mental scar was still fresh, she would cry every time she heard the 'snip snip' noises

-Tezuka always knew since the coach Ryuzaki had given him a series of hints, confronted Ryoma about hiding a secret. Although didn't press when (s)he became nervous.

-(S)he got hurt and the old stitched wound was opened, she was carried to the hospital by Momochan-senpai

-And Momoshiro was the first person she sees when she woke up.

-So a few panic attacks and confessions later. Seishun's tennis club had the sudden urge to kill

MOVING ON TO MORE HAPPY ONES LOL

-Seigaku's freshman regular was revealed to be a girl

-Naturally, boys flock all over her lmao

-she has bodyguards'- I mean the other regulars, walking her home from school and also walking with her to school.

-Ryoma is good at cooking. And I will die with this headcannon.

-She starts being called Hime-sama. Ryoma bets it was Tomoka.

-Nanjiro is an overprotective prick. We all love him for that, the regulars watch over her on his behalf

-Sometimes, Ryoma welcomes others from different schools to her home just to cook for them. Nanjiro, of course, questions about the random men she keeps inviting over.

-Yes, she wears the school's female uniform now. Yes, she's being crushed on. Yes, the sempais baby her even more.

I had a weird dream last night. Probably because I just finished rereading Prince of Tennis a few weeks ago and I just went on a BNHA fanfic binge.

So Quirks would be the perfect explanation for the utter nonsense that happens on those tennis courts.

(I remember reading a fanfic once about quirked and quirkless sport leagues in the bnha world but I can’t remember which one it was)

Anyway so Inui has an analysing quirk and tennis is perfect, but he needs to analyse other things too and hero fights happen everyday all over the city so they’re easily accessible. Plus, you never know when a move can be incorporated into your tennis play.

Enter Midoriya Izuku, die hard hero fanboy in his last year of elementary school and as friendless as he is quirkless.

Inui is impressed by his analysis, finally someone who can keep up with him. He’s even more impressed when he finds out that Izuku is quirkless. And that’s how the most unlikely friendship starts. Inui starts seeking out hero fights more seriously so he can meet up with his new friend (they’re both awkward genius, it’s perfect) until he finally invites Izuku to the regionals where Seigaku is competing.

That’s how the Seigaku regulars meet Izuku and promptly adopts him. It doesn’t take much to convince Izuku to join Seigaku middle school once he’s done with elementary school. (Inui has already filled all the paperwork for Izuku to be the tennis club manager.)

So Izuku starts Seigaku the same year Echizen does, while Inui is a third year and almost everyone already knows him.

And Izuku thrives. He doesn’t love tennis like Inui and the other regulars do, but he loves quirks and using his analysing for tennis instead of heroing is not that different.

And they all have such awesome quirks!

Plus no one would dare bully the tennis club manager. Between Inui’s incredible mind, Tezuka’s quirk and Fuji’s well-known (if unacknowledged) sadism, no one dare step a toe out of line in fear of what their retaliation would be (and yes, it includes the teachers, those kids are terrifying).

Of course, Izuku can’t be the manager if he doesn’t know how to play tennis (or so everyone tells him) so he’s practicing with the other first years while still following Inui’s around and he’s in great shape.

He still wants to be a hero, but now it doesn’t look like an unattainable goal anymore. He has friends and a support system and everyone encourages him to follow his dreams, and they all believe in him and Inui even told him awkwardly that if anyone could become the first quirkless hero, it was Izuku. That was the nicest thing anyone has ever told him and Izuku cried a lot that day, but thankfully Inui-senpai has become used to it.

Three years later, when it’s time to take UA’s entrance exam, Izuku takes down robots with a racket and a bag full of tennis balls. He still gets more rescue points than villain points because he’s a bit overwhelmed by all the cool quirks he’s witnessing.

Obviously he makes it into class 1-A.

And when it’s time for the Sports Festival, all his friends show up to cheer him on and they are so worried about him because of everything with the LoV.

For some of the quirks:

Tezuka’s is called Penance Stare. If he looks you in the eyes he can make you feel guilty/ashamed for every little infraction you’ve ever done, like take the last mochi and putting the empty box back on the cupboard or passing before someone at the konbini because they were distracted. Of course, the quirk enforce the need for a punition so the tennis club members run a lot of laps. The bigger the infraction, the bigger the consequences.

Kaido has a stamina quirk.

Kikumaru can make doubles of himself.

Fuji’s is a mystery, but everytime he smiles at you, you can feel a chill down your spine and so there’s a rumour that it’s a ‘villainous’ quirk.

Kawamura has a sentient quirk like Dark Shadow but the quirk can take control of Kawamura’s body and that’s what happens when he has a racket in his hand.

Atobe can see everyone’s weak spots (his ice world in the manga).

Sanada has a minor control on the four elements and all the heroes hopefuls are disgusted because he only wants to use it for tennis.

Ryoma’s quirk makes him immune to other people’s quirks but he needs to be in close proximity with it for a little while before he can make it stop working. That’s why he needs a few sets every match before he can overcome his opponents’ quirks.

“National Tournament Report” Tezuka and Fuji Version Part V

INDEX: [Part I] [Part II] [Part III] [Part IV] Audio commentary from Prince of Tennis OVA: National Tournament Arc, FAN DISK White heat Remix, translated by me. It's finally the last part!! Part V is Tezuka and Fuji’s commentary on Echizen vs Atobe match. Audio linked in the Content Source below.

Fuji: It’s finally the last match. Tezuka: Yeah. Fuji: I was convinced that you wanted to have another match with Atobe. Tezuka: Atobe and I know each other’s cards too well. That’s why I wanted to try placing my bet on Echizen’s potential. Fuji: Hmm... Tezuka: What? Fuji: That’s not the only reason you chose to have him play Atobe though, is it.  Tezuka: Hm? Fuji: If you get him to play against Atobe, Echizen’s skills would definitely grow. Wasn’t that why you placed him in Singles 1? Tezuka: Ngh. Fuji: Right on the mark, huh. I can tell how big your expectations are for him from that. Tezuka: I think of this year’s tournament first and foremost, of course. But this year isn’t the end of Seigaku Tennis Club. I’m the captain. I have a responsibility to make sure the club 2-3 years from now will be strong. Fuji: *laughs* Tezuka: What? Did I say something funny? Fuji: No. I just thought of how I liked that part of you. I’m really glad you are the Seigaku Tennis Club’s captain.

Tezuka: Is that so? Fuji: But to be honest, it’s not the club’s future I’m interested in; I just want to see Echizen climb higher and higher. That’s it, really. Tezuka: I too want to see where Echizen will end up. Fuji: *laughs* So that really is the reason you had him play against Atobe. Tezuka: Developing one’s skills is best done in real matches. There’s no better way to learn than fighting someone strong. Fuji: That reminds me, Inui said something similar in his memo. He wrote that there’s no better training than playing matches with someone strong. According to one of Inui’s sources, before the tournament, Atobe apparently went to Rikkai  Dai Fuzoku alone to have a match against Sanada and the others. Tezuka: Did he really? Fuji: He got the info from Yanagi of Rikkai Dai Fuzoku, so it must be true. Tezuka: Inui’s childhood friend of sorts. Fuji: How surprising. Atobe seems like a cool-headed guy at a glance, but he’s actually pretty passionate. Tezuka: Atobe is the passionate type. Fuji: Oh? You really understand Atobe very well, don’t you. Tezuka: No, I don’t. That’s just the feeling he managed to convey when we played. Fuji: I see. Speaking of which, was Atobe not offended when you told him you’d be absent from today’s meeting?  Tezuka: No. He called to talk about how the meeting would progress, and when I told him I wouldn’t be coming, he said, “You weren’t invited in the first place.” And quickly hung up.  Fuji: I think you should be more concerned about that... Tezuka: Why? Fuji: He’ll resent you for that.

[Atobe in video: Even here you’re still getting in my way, Tezuka?!]

Fuji: *laughs* Look! He’s mad. Tezuka: But that was clearly a move Echizen pulled off with State of Self Actualization. There’s no reason for him to blame it on me. Fuji: I guess that’s just how much everyone is affected by you. Tezuka: I still don’t see how it’s my fault. Fuji: Around this part, they started pulling out all their skills, and it became more of a battle between their stamina and mental strength. Tezuka: They were very evenly matched. Fuji: When one side gains a point advantage, the other side is quick to change the tide. Neither of them yielded, did they. Tezuka: Mm. Fuji: Your match with Atobe was pretty fierce too, but this was also a great match. Even just rewatching it in video gives me chills.

[Lights fall during Atobe-Echizen match]

Fuji: Oh, this moment unsurprisingly made my blood run cold. Tezuka: Mm.

[Atobe: Tezuka! Seigaku’s going to lose because you let a little first year become Seigaku’s pillar!! Tezuka: He's not the pillar yet.]

Fuji: But you always give a proper reaction to what Atobe says, don’t you Tezuka. Tezuka: Mm. Fuji: Tezuka? Tezuka: Mm. Huh? Oh, I was… I apologize. Fuji: You were thinking of something else again. Tezuka: I can have-- Fuji: 10 different thoughts at the same time. Tezuka: You have a good memory, Fuji. Fuji: Out of curiosity, what exactly is going through your mind right now? Tezuka: Listening to you. Fuji: And? Tezuka: Analyzing the video. Fuji: And? Tezuka: Whether Oishi is holding up well. Fuji: And? Tezuka: Having to collect the club budget by tomorrow. Fuji: And? Tezuka: Needing to get the book I reserved at the library. Fuji: Get it then. Tezuka: This year’s sweetfish fishing season started early. Fuji: Is that really relevant right now? Tezuka: I’m planning on climbing the Southern Alps next. Fuji: Shall I lend you a map? Tezuka: loga aᵇ=? Fuji: b. Tezuka: Ich liebe dich. Fuji: When exactly do you plan on using that line? Tezuka: Lastly, answering your question. Fuji: *laughs* I see. Tezuka: Mm. Fuji: Say, I tried to be like Inui and collected some data. Tezuka: Oh? Fuji: The truth is, the real reason I called you out here today was to show you this. Tezuka: How intriguing. Fuji: Look at this. Tezuka: What is this piece of paper? Hm? I see a lot of tally marks. Fuji: I tried my best to count it all while watching the whole video. Tezuka: Sounds tough. But what for? Fuji: What do you think? Tezuka: I’m sorry, but I have no idea. Fuji: It’s the number of times you ignored someone else’s comment. Tezuka: Ignored? Fuji: When you watch people’s matches, you only ever listen with half an ear, even when someone’s talking to you, don’t you. Though you may not be conscious you’re doing it. Tezuka: What’re you talking about? Don’t tell me this is the problem you mentioned earlier? Fuji: Honestly, it’s just like you, not to notice. Oh, right! There’s something I need to do after this. Tezuka: You’re leaving? So did you find a solution for your problem in the end? Fuji: Sorry, but I have to leave the cleanup and lockup to you, Tezuka. See ya! Tezuka: Oi, Fuji! Fuji! Fuji! He left… But what exactly did Fuji want to say? I don’t understand. I’ll at the very least clean up and lock up before I leave… But what exactly did Fuji… What…. Need to lock up... Fuji: Tezuka sure is interesting!

♔ Tezuka, after Fuji presents him a tally of the times he ignored someone: So what was the problem????       Gee man, I wonder what.😂 ♔ It’s been more than a decade since I studied about logarithms, and I didn’t even study how to do math in Japanese, so this was interesting to say the least lmao. I had to read about log identities on Wiki and double check with a similar question on Quora, no big deal I guess.🙃🤣 (It’s correct, right? Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong😂) Honestly I had to look up wild plants, mushrooms and fish for Dokidoki Survival and that was funner than this lmao. I kind of hate Tezuka now for making relearn math and science (in Part I).😂 ♔ I wonder if Tezuka meant the Southern Alps in New Zealand, or the Southern Alps in Yamanishi prefecture, which is also the second highest mountain in Japan. I guess its more likely the latter tho, since that’s what first comes up when searched in Japanese. ♔ Every time Atobe addresses Tezuka while he’s having a match with Echizen, everyone’s just like... who exactly is he having a match against?😂

random thoughts while watching prince of tennis (ep1-10)

wow i’m simping for a 12 year old. i fall lower everyday

i can’t even get annoyed at tomo-chan and sakuno for always fangirling over ryoma because that’s what i’m doing

do the two reporters have absolutely nothing to do apart from reporting on a middle school tennis club’s internal tournament

i strongly approve of the bishie sparkles that come out when tezuka plays

ryoma’s dad is kinda annoying but very entertaining...the jury is still out on whether i like him or not

will we ever see the old coach lady actually coach or will she just smirk while watching ryoma thrash the senpai from the windows

it must suck so much to be a part of the seigaku tennis club...you dedicate your teenage years to a sport, get on a good team, and then all of a sudden there’s this brat who goes “mada mada dane”

the hissing sfx for kaidoh is so fucking funny literally i can’t stop laughing

i wanna see tezuka do the classic megane pose with light reflecting off one frame of his glasses

horio please die
