There is some controversy over who is depicted in this icon. The first few times I watched the trailer, I assumed, because of the way the racquet drags on the court, it was Oishi hitting the Moon Volley.

Upon closer inspection, I decided that it was Kaidoh hitting the Boomerang Snake. He crouches way down to hit, the same blue racquet appears here and in the very next shot, which is Kaidoh hitting the Boomerang, the vapour trail on the court matches between the two shots, and, of course, no socks. But it is part of a montage of special shots, so it's hard to be absolutely certain. What do you think?

ETA further evidence in favour of Kaidoh: later in the trailer, Ryoma hits the Boomerang Snake too and he also drags the racquet on the ground first. Okay, I have no more doubts.

I voted Oishi, because that was who popped into my head first when I saw it. (I even went 'karakarakara' with him, the second time round.)

But now that I'm looking at it again, that 'no socks' thing is a huge point in Kaidoh's favor. *______*

(And of course, it could always be Horio. <3)

You can always change your vote. :) I'm a little ... fixated ... on Kaidoh's ankles.

Ankles in general are love.

I think it's Kaidoh, too, but the trailer also leads me to believe that Oishi's playing, which means no doubles for three. But I'm okay with that. As much Momo love as I have, I can't help but itch to see live action Golden Pair action.

...in tennis. Yes.

Of course that's what I meant.

Love that icon.

I can't help but itch to see live action Golden Pair action.

Mmm hmm!

TWO YEARS!!

I couldn't resist. But I actually do think it's Oishi, as you know. Even though you have excellent evidence that it's Kaidoh. Oishi needs some trailer glory. Kaidoh gets to be all pwned by Ryoma's Twist Serve and then there's the 'everyone is checking out my ass' shot and the Boomerang Snake is all kinds of awesome. Not that Kaidoh doesn't deserve to be all over the trailer, I just want him to share the love.

It saddens me that the trailer has pretty much no Fuji, no Dunk Smash, and no "mada mada dane."

I do love Oishi but I love Kaidoh more. So I am very pleased that he PWNS THE TRAILER. :)

No "mada mada dane" was kind of weird. What if he never says it at all?

I must admit I love Kaidoh more than I love Oishi too. But I still want more OT9 in my trailer.

NEVER SAY IT AT ALL? ...Don't suggest such scary things!! How could he be Ryoma and not say "mada mada dane"?! I would weep.

I do love the smirky brat way he says "Daijoubu? ...senpai," in the trailer, though. Smug, uppity little bastard! He MUST say "mada mada dane," it wouldn't be PoT without it.

Actually, I was dead certain it was Oishi, simply because of the dragging the racket on the court, but you're right, it could also be Kaidoh. In fact, you convinced me it is Kaidoh.

I'll still go with Oishi, though, because he needs more ~~love~~ screen time. ♥

Hee! You're tainting the scientific integrity of my LJ poll!

Well, if you were going for scientific then I really should have chosen Horio with two years of tennis experience. XD

Dude, forget about all the continuity between cuts and all. The question you should always ask yourself when attempting to identify a Seigaku member: what color is the racquet?

Kaidoh's racquet is dark blue. This Seigaku dude's racquet is dark blue. Ergo, it is Kaidoh. QED.

A true Tenipuri fan can identify every single one of the racquets in the ending shot of "White Line." :D

>A true Tenipuri fan can identify every single one of the racquets in the ending shot of "White Line." :D

Yeah, and Tezuka's racquet is under all the others >_>

Because he is the pillar who supports them all. Ryouma's is directly on top of his, signifying that he is too a pillar but that he still relies on Tezuka as well. Momo's is touching both of them, because he's going to be the captain next year, after Tezuka and before Ryouma. The GP and IK pairs have their racquets together, while poor Taka-san's is off to the side like the afterthought that he often is. Fuji's, of course, is weird and lying by itself without touching any of the others.

(I started out tongue-in-cheek, but it's actually rather surprising how well it fits.)

I hadn't gone that far in my interpretations ^^;;;
(Poor Taka-san, nobody wants of him T_T)

Or maybe that should be "dangerously obsessed Tenipuri fan". *g* I'm glad you support my theory!

HORIO LEARNED THAT IN SUMMER CAMP.

Okay, okay. I think it's Kaidoh. My proof is that whoever's in your icon has legs (or at the very least, ankles) that could make girls cry.

Horio never gets enough credit.

And pillar, shmillar. The whole show is really about the Hotness of Kaidoh. There's not a bit of him that can't make girls cry.

oh....*is disappointed* I too was hoping for oishi love. but sadly, i think you are right. on top of no socks, he's clearly wearing shorts now that i peer at the cap closely, and Oishi usually wears pants, right? Or maybe i am crazy.

now we just need the next trailer to be like non-stop hyoutei. cause i need Oshitari kansaiing and Atobe doing his thing, and Ohtori being the cutest, sweetest, i'm-too-ashamed-to-sit-down-senpai-i'll-just-stand kouhai in the history of tennis.

(Oishi usually wears shorts on court... but he does have socks.)

I think manga!Inui is the only one who wears pants on the court. And he looks so lovely in them!

More Hyotei would be a Good Thing.

Poor Oishi got his trademark shot stolen T_T

I know! And if it were anybody but Kaidoh who had stolen it, I would be weeping. But...it's Kaidoh! I'm torn.

I totally understand. (Anyway, I'm sure we won't even see Oishi playing *sigh*)

I tend to agree that it's Kaidou too. But I'm sure Horio thanks you for the inclusion of his credentials in your poll. XD

Horio is so my boyfriend. I really hope that in the film he gets the full respect that is due to him.

Hmmm. Movie trailers are well known for cutting and swapping things about... and I'm thinking about it this way. Is Kaidoh more likely to lead up to a snake irregularly, or is Oishi more likely to have not worn socks? I'm thinking option b...

But I think the other evidence -- the racquet colour, Ryoma's racquet-dragging Boomerang -- is pretty conclusive.

Maybe we should have a bet. :)

I'm positive it's Kaidoh... it looks like he's facing either the back or the side of the court, judging from the lines, whereas Oishi faces the front! Plus I closely analysed the shoes too.
Thinking too much about it, as usual... :P

I looked at the shoes a LOT. It seems like they're black down the middle and white on the sides, or some weird thing.

Poor Oishi, all his glory stolen.

Hey Hal, you were just rec'd in the

Thanks for letting me know! I'll check it out. :)
