Genius 321

Here's a zip of the raw if you don't have it already.

This is the exact outcome that I'd been hoping for, for a few reasons:

* Fuji has always been broken, from a shounen sports perspective, in that he did not have the pure sportsman's drive to play. But he seems to be fixed now.

* It's boring if he wins all the fucking time.

* Shiraishi is so cool.

* Now at least one of my doubles pairs has to win.

The last reason is the most important. Frankly, I want both to win, but I doubt they will. Kawamura pretty much has to win his singles match because this is probably his last match. He'll go out in a blaze of glory.

So, the question is: who will lose? Momo and Kaidoh or Inui and Tezuka? I just can't decide. Probably, storywise, it will work better with an MK win and an IT loss, but, god, I want the IT pair to win. Though I guess I should still just count myself lucky that I'll see them play at all. I thought it would only be a beautiful dream.

Yukimura is pissy as ever. I hope we get to see lots and lots of Rikkai's matches. And that they kick ass because the final has GOT to be Seigaku and Rikkai.

I was going to say there were no trippy hats this week, but I looked again and there's one on the very first page. That's Chitose, right?

Also: I don't think Kaidoh was in a single panel. What is wrong with this world? But soon, soon, the MomoKai Doubles of Looooooove. God, they are my favourite doubles pair ever.

Yeeeeeeeeeeees. You put it so perfectly that I can only nod and say YES, THAT. I love Fuji like crazy, and THAT is exactly why I'm so happy he finally lost to someone other than Tezuka. This makes him so much more whole as a character than if he had pulled the Fuji Ex Machina again.

For MK or IT, I could say I want MK to win because it would show their evolution as a doubles pair and etc, but~ honestly, I prefer if IT lost because not only those two dorks losing would be amusing in that "aaaaw kids you're so cute that I wanna make you suffer" way, it would also raise the odds of a Yukimura vs Tezuka showdown (which if I don't get before this manga is over, I will be a very sad panda).
