Musings of the Team Members during Echizen Ryoma's Match with Ibu Shinji
Momoshiro Takeshi
…Ryoma will win. There's no doubt about that. If he can beat Seigaku number 3…it won't matter that this is a different team, he's good enough to beat anyone. Except Kunimitsu. And Syusuke. But Shinji Ibu is going down…
Kawamura Takashi
…Wow, look at that twist serve. Ryoma has got it in for this Fudomine chap. And again! That kid is in his element. Look at him go. Glad I didn't have to play him. Ibu hasn't got a chance against that serve…
Inui Sadaharu
…What? Fudomine returned the serve? Maybe I should have done some research on this team. Scratch that. I should have done serious research on this team. Unseeded Fudomine with their mysterious captain Kippei…
Kaidoh Kaoru
…Echizen gave up a point. That'll teach him…
Kikumaru Eiji
…Freezing up? What's happening? Well, as long as he doesn't give up the set, I suppose he could afford a couple points. Wait—there it is again. Why? Fudomine's up to something, I can feel it. But I don't understand…
Shuichiro Oishi
…He can't keep playing. The eye is fine, but the bleeding won't stop. At times like this I can't believe we let a 7th grader on the team. Ryoma's good enough, but he doesn't know his limits. How can he still insist on playing? So much blood…
Tezuka Kunimitsu
…Echizen's good. He knows it, too. As much as I resent his arrogance, I believe it will enable him to win this match. He wants it badly enough. Ten minutes. If he can do that, then perhaps he will earn a right to be proud; just enough to deflate him when I play him…
Fuji Syusuke
…Echizen Ryoma. That's a name all will know by the end of this season. Amazing. One eye, ten minutes, and he manages to win. He's good...I would love to play him…
