Guess what? Prince of tennis is releasing another pair of DS games!

Prince of Tennis: Prince of Doubles

Girls be Gracious

Boys be Glorious (No, really XD)

The story, so far from the konami website is that, the characters, a girl and a boy who are siblings, entered Seigaku Junior High. In Girls be Gracious, you will play as a girl and in Boys be Glorious; you will play as the guy. After a week from when you entered Seigaku, you were 'coincidently' (again, I copy this term loosely) playing at the street tennis court you (and possibly your other sibling) were 'forced' to entered the 'Junior Street Doubles Championship'. Your partner is, not your brother, but one of the prince of tennis characters!

It has been officially released that your partners can be: Ryoma, Atobe in both versions

Shiraishi, Mizuki, and Sengoku is only available on girl side

Sanada, Saeki, And Tachibana is only available on the guy side

Momoshiro is possibly available at least on the guy side (from a picture)

Translator comment: Why the hell do the girls get Mizuki? I hate him damn it! I want to trade him over for Saeki. It makes sense that Sengoku is on the girl only side… since he's a flirt… and Sanada on the guy only side since he's… well… like Tezuka (That makes we wonder whether if Tezuka is going to be released in guy only side as well)

You will be forced to play tennis, and at the same time deepening your friendship with your partner. (Now I'm not sure whether if it's a dating sim on the girl side… but it'll be funnier if it was dating sim on both… then I would REALLY laugh my head off XD)

Girl version will be out on March 5th and Guy version will be out on March 26th

In that same month, the PRINCE OF TENNIS SEQUEL is starting! Yay! It's the month of tenipuri!

I found funny that all the single players are playing doubles. Maybe the only reason Ryoma will play with the girl is because she sucks so much, then he could dominate the whole court like when Tezuka played doubles… (don't want to be offensive, but even Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer can't beat a single Seigaku regular, they have special attacks, and copy abilities, and and they can manipulate wind and make tornados and waterfalls and lasers. Have you ever split a tennis ball in half by hitting it Federer? Watch out! Atobe can see your blind spots and his shots don't bounce! They made the Olympics so boring XD) …that makes me wonder what the hell the author is going to do with the sequel.

Since it's a DS game, I will be getting it except I will have to wait till the end of May since my mom confiscated my DS… :sob:, well I do have to take time to study…

Oh, and I once read in a Japanese site that the Konami people once had a meeting about whether to stick Ryoma in a DRESS. Obviously it didn't pass but is it true though? XDD

Sanada Genichirou's Ending

Youtube (dotcom) /watch?v=7P_5O9iDlkc

"Everyone, congratulations for the success in the festival." Mei, the festival manager of the Rikkai tennis club said to everyone.

"It's all thanks to you Mei." Sanada stepped forward.

"That's not it…" she blushed "I only helped a bit…"

"Don't look down on yourself. I know your undertakings best."

"Oh no," she was going to deny the compliments but she changed her mind. "Thank you very much."

Sanada crossed his arms. "After this, the school festival is going to end."

"Yeah, we only have the camp fire and the ballroom dance." (A/N: I think before, I translated the dance as a 'traditional folk dance' but it turns out it turns out to be just 'social dancing', possibly ballroom dancing from the context. The bonfire made me think that it was a Japanese dance. Sorry for the mistake.)

"During these two weeks, you have been of great assistance to me. It was pleasurable."

"It's the same for me as well," Mei smiled.

Xxxxxxxx Bonfire xxxxxxxx

Kentarou Minami's voice rang through the microphone. "Finally, the enjoyable school festival has come to an end. For our last event, we will conclude the festival with the social dance."

"Ballroom dancing huh…," Mei muttered to herself and watched the crowd surrounding the huge bonfire. "I learned the steps but... What should I do?"

She heard footsteps and she was surprised to see her senpai approach her. "Oh, you were here."

"Ah, senpai," she greeted.

"Are you not going to dance?" he asked.

"I'm wondering what I should do." She replied honestly.

"Is that right? Then may I have this dance with you?"

"Huh?" Mai stared with astonishment. "With Senpai?"

"Do you find me objectionable?"

"No! That's not it!" she replied quickly and said in a disbelieving tone, "Senpai, you can do ballroom dancing?"

"Technically…" He replied weakly.

"O-oh, dancing doesn't really fit your image so… I was shocked."

"The steps in ballroom dancing are similar to the steps in Judo." Sanada crossed his arms and began to lecture. "But compared to eastern dancing, the dances in Japan and Japanese theatre have more similar movements and steps in martial arts."

"Is that true?"

"Of course, that's why it is rather easy for me to learn the steps in dancing."

"Senpai, you're amazing." Mei said, impressed.

"That's not true," he refuted and quickly changed the subject. "So then, will you dance with me?"

"But… is it alright with me being your partner?"

"…I want you to be." He replied in a quieter voice.

Mei did not know what else to say. "Ah… okay."

Sanada takes Mei's hands and pulls her towards the other dancers in the clearing around the fire. He faced her, and began to lead and she tried her best to follow his movements.

"Senpai, you're very good at this. Your movements flow really well." She commented, even more awed that before.

"You're doing pretty well yourself."

"Re-really?"

"You have some talent for this."

"Thank you."

"You…" he stuttered. "err… in this school festival… you really worked hard." She thanked him again, didn't know what else to say. "All thanks to you, our Rikkai tennis club won the competition above all other clubs and schools in this festival." (A/N: comp for the best selling shop? It's just my guess)

"No, that's-"

"I've said it many times but, it's all thanks to you."

"I must thank you as well, this two weeks was really enjoyable for me."

"But… all this is about to end." He said in a sad tone. "It's all of a sudden but I have a request. Will you listen?"

"Of course, what is it?"

"I want you to become the tennis club's temporary manager."

"Huh?"

"When you were with us, our tennis club gained harmony compared to before. That will aid us in the national tennis competition."

"But… I don't know much about tennis!"

"That's not a problem." (A/N: now imagine the manga Sanada saying that) "From the days in the school festival, I can tell that you will be able to be of help to the club immediately."

"But, is this really alright?" She asked, troubled.

"Certainly, Seichi will understand." (A/N: Seichi is Yuki's first name)

"Yes, then I will become the manager."

"Thank you for accepting." Sanada said earnestly.

"There's no need…"

"And…"

"Yes?"

"This is a personal wish but…" He took a step closer. "I… want you by my side, always."

"Eh?"

"I'll say it clearly, I love you." (A/N:These things always gets my gag reaction started.)

"EHHHHHH"

"…I didn't know you'd be this surprised…"

"Ah! I-I'm sorry! No! Uh-" Teardrops started to fall.

"Wh-why are you crying?"

"Because I'm happy…"

"Happy?"

"I never imagined senpai will say that to me."

"Then…"

"I love you… I… love you too senpai."

"Re-really."

"Yes."

"Thank you Mei."

"No, not at all,"

Xxxxxxxx Another Day xxxxxxxx

"HAAA!" Sanada yelled as his sword sliced the straw made dummy in half.

"Wow! Amazing, Sanada-senpai."

"No, I still have a long way to go. The straw dummy is a bit squashed on one side. I need to do a cleaner cut."

"But, isn't it difficult to cut a dummy made out of straws?"

"Yes, but it is thanks to this sword, not my ability." He thrust his sword out, "Minamotonokiyomaru… the cut can rival those of the Kotetsu." (A/N: types of swords.)

"I don't know much about Japanese swords, but it's a good sword isn't it?"

"Yes, it's out family heirloom." He stated proudly. "…But this was made after the last days of the Tokugawa shogunate, so it's not very old." (A/N: I'm no Japanese history expert but it's after 1853)

"But just from looking at it, it seems like an amazing sword. It feels like it contains a demonic aura…"

"Japanese swords are mysterious objects. Despite some swords are made to cut people, this amazing beauty within them will attract people towards them."

"Wow, amazing, I feel like I can understand a bit."

"Hmm…" He sounded a tad bit surprised. "Why is that?"

"The creators of the swords have put their heart into making them. And also they could save many lives, depending on the wielder of the swords."

"Well said. You talk like those who are walking the path of swordsmanship. I'm amazed."

"This is because I'm always with you senpai. You say a lot of stuff, and I pick some of it up as I listened."

"No, it's your honest heart that made you said so."

"By the way…" He began awkwardly when Mei was about to protest again, "today, my father, mother, and my older brother is at home…" (A/N: oh god)

"Eh? EH? Umm…" Mei stuttered, feeling heat creep up her cheeks.

"My father, mother, and brother will come home." Sanada looked outside and said, "They will be home soon. When everyone is here, I want to introduce you to them."

"In-introduce!?"

"It's proper for one to introduce the person that he is going out with."

"Well… it's true… but-" She wanted to say that people only introduce their partner to the parents is when they were about to get married but she was yet again cut off.

"In the following day, I will go and introduce myself to your parents."

"…It feels like the matter has been blown larger."

"There's no need to worry. The fact that we are dating are kept in the open."

"H-hai…" Mei sweat dropped. She didn't want to say her boyfriend was too serious and old fashioned for his own good but she feared the events that were going to follow after this.

A/N: In Japan, it is norm for the girlfriend of this so and so guy from a sports club to be the manager of that club… so they can be together more. And when girls wants to approach a guy, she applies for manager of that club if she can't become a member herself (ooh the corniness, Idk, I've never fallen in love so I can't say, but I can't understand these young people falling for girls one by one in mangas and games… and in real life)


Well Since it was 1200+ votes, I don't mind doing a few more scenes.

For Sanada, there are two videos on Nico Nico Douga than span more than 20min each for Sanada. Now I know that they are not the only scenes (with no options to direct conversation) in the games and there are probably many routes they can take to reach that ending. But below are the ones that will kind of take you through one storyline. The maker of the video only selected some things and stuck it in there. (again I don't know much since I don't have the game)

Sanada Genishirou's Date by the sea side

Youtube (dotcom) /watch?v=kvYIzn19cb4

The tramcar rang its whistle as Mei ran towards the station. She saw the man she was looking for waiting outside the gates and she waved towards him. "Sanada senpai! Good morning!"

"Good morning Mei, you are exactly on time."

"Last night I was preparing so I slept late. I thought I wasn't going to be able to wake up on time!"

Sanada laughed. "Looks like you were able to pull it off."

"Yes, thank god I wasn't late."

"Then let's go."

"Yes."

Xxxxxxxx Beach xxxxxxxx

"We arrived faster than I thought." Sanada muttered. The sound of waves rapped against the shores and the seagulls could be heard in the distance. It was the perfect weather for an outing such as the beach.

"I told you the place was close."

"That's right."

"There are probably a lot of people other than us who came here so we better go find a spot quickly."

"Mei, there's no need to worry about that, I've already made my move."

"Eh?"

"Here, let's go."

Sanada pressed onwards and curious, Mei followed beside him. Before long, she spotted 5 Rikkai regulars. Yanagi, Yagyuu, Jackal, Niou-senpai, and Kirihara-kun.

"It's not bad to go to places like this to relax ourselves sometimes." Yagyuu said after their greetings.

Yanagi agreed. "Thought the tasks are simple and straightforward, our fatigue level were about to reach the peak."

"It's great that Sanada came up with this idea." Said Jackal.

"That's right! But I never imagined the vice-captain would call me up to go on a trip."

"And he even called the girl from the festival committee, for Sanada that's something." Mei Laughed at the comment by the trickster.

"She's the one who told me of this place so I contacted everyone to come." Sanada explained. (A/N: Where's Marui and Yuki? T.T Two of my fav Rikkai characters… sigh)

"Oh, I didn't know that, thanks Mei" Niou waved.

"Thanks!" Kirihara grinned.

"I didn't do anything," Mei said, embarrassed.

Sanada turned to Mei. "Everyone is enjoying their time here because of you. My thanks."

"No-not at all."

"Vice captain Sanada!" Akaya interrupted. "What are you doing? Let's begin!"

"I understand. We'll come soon. You guys begin without us."

"Roger!" Akaya saluted, and the group walked away.

"Mei, what is it? Are you not feeling well?"

"N-no I'm fine."

"Is that right." Sanada glanced towards his teammates. "Looks like Akaya and them are going to are going to split the watermelon. If you're not feeling ill then come with us."

"Yes… I'll come afterwards."

"I'll wait for you there."

"Yes." She watched as the vice captain trod though the sand. 'Sanada-senpai invited me because everyone was coming together. I guess I was expecting too much…' She sighed.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"You don't look too happy." Niou-senapi commented when he spotted Mei alone looking off at the sea.

"Niou-senpai," She whipped around, recollecting her thoughts "did I look… depressed?"

"That's right. You even look glum right now."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm not confronting you or anything. And the one that should apologize is us."

"Eh?"

"We're intruding your date with Sanada right?"

"N-Noo!?"

"There's no need for you to hide it. But don't blame this on Sanada. He's doing the best he could."

"I knew, don't worry."

"I knew it, you really are a good girl." He smiled.

"I'm not as good as senpai thinks." Mei smiled back.

"I want to say 'it's not true'… but the conversation will go in a circle again so I won't."

Mei giggled. "You're right."

"Oh, and Mei, Sanada went towards the rock cliff alone."

"Really?"

"Why do you go as well?" Niou gave a sly smile.

"B-but-"

"If you two stay here, there will be no opportunity for the two of you to talk alone together. I won't disrupt you too so just go."

"Thank you very much." Mei smiled, and she left her sad expression behind.

"No problem."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Sanada senpai."

"Mei, how did you know I was here?"

"eehh… I didn't see you around so I thought you might be by the rock cliffs here…" she lied. "I told you that I came here before didn't I?"

"So you knew approximately where everything was and searched for me from the places you knew."

"Hai."

"Is it alright that you're not hanging out with everyone else?"

"It's alright, I was playing with them until now and I'm feeling like I want to sit down and gaze at the sea."

"Well, then why do we go to that shady place over there and talk together."

"Hai senpai," Mei followed him to the place he pointed.

"The school festival will start soon." Remarked. (A/N: You prepare for the festival for 2 weeks. The actual festival is only for a day I think.)

"You're right."

"The preparations are about to end but if we get sloppy here then we will get no where."

"Yes."

"We must put more energy into the preparations that before."

"Let's work hard senpai."

"Yeah…" They remained in silence for some time both of them suddenly feeling rather awkward.

"It's the first time for us to talk alone in such a quiet place isn't it?"

"Y-yeah, you're right."

"Senpai, thank you so much for last time."

"That time?"

"When we went shopping together for supplies…" (A/N:She gets bugged by a pervert... typical)

"Oh that, I said this last time as well, you shouldn't have to thank me. If I was with you then nothing would have happened."

"No-"

"I'm sorry for that time."

"No…" they feel in to silence again and this time Sanada broke the uncomfortable silence.

"I invited all the regulars to the sea."

"Eh? Yeah…"

"They were becoming more exhausted after so many days of hard work. And I thought it would be more fun with more people around."

"You're right."

"are you having fun?"

"…when we arrived at the sea I was so surprised when I saw everyone here. When you phoned me, you didn't tell me anything."

"I apologize."

"But it was fun being with everyone."

"That's great."

"Senpai… can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"Did you invite me because I was a festival manager?"

"Th-that's right. You worked hard as well. Of course you were invited."

"So it was because of that after all…" Mei sighed.

"What is it? Did I say something wrong?" he asked, looking a little troubled.

"…no…"

"To tell you the truth… I didn't invite you just because you were a volunteer…"

"Eh?"

Sanada took a step closer. "To tell you the truth, I only wanted to in-" he stopped midway when he heard some sounds.

'Akaya, don't push me!'

'I can't see from over here.'

'If you push me too much, we'll be discovered by Sanada.'

'Then trade places with me.'

'I don't want to.'

'Cheap!'

"JACKAL! AKAYA! What are you two doing there!" Sanada yelled.

"UWA!" Jackal yelled.

"SHIT!"

"Listening in to other people's conversation… you guys have slackened!"

"Akaya, let's run for it!"

"Yeah!"

"You're not getting away you idiots!"

They dashed off at demonic speeds of the godly tennis players. And Sanada, the vice captain of the number one Rikkai tennis team, began the chase several seconds behind but was narrowing the distance between them each step of the way, all the while emitting a fierce, inhumanly aura. (But no, all of this Mei was completely unaware of…)

"Sanada senpai went to chase them… and he was about to say something too…" She heard footsteps approaching and turned around. (Completely missing what the demon was going to do with the two rascals.)

"Sorry, I've tried to stop the two of them but…" Niou apologized.

"Ah, Niou senpai,"

"Were you able to talk with Sanada even for a bit?"

"Yes,"

"That's great."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"The sun is about to disappear." Sanada observed. "Why don't we start heading back now?"

"You're right." Yanagi said.

"Jackal and Akaya will carry all the garbage and the bags to the station. Is that clear?" Sanada glared.

"Hai…" They answered glumly.

"None of you have forgotten anything? Then let us go."


Sanada is not bad. He's much better with the girl than I had imagined. XD

Question. Do you like my sarcastic inserts? Because if you don't want them, I'm not going to include it in future translations.

Rules, posted again and again.

ONE VOTE per REVIEW. I take multiple votes. But one vote per review. Anonymous reviewers accepted.

Because I like reviews

Because it's a hassle to process when there's like 5 in one review

If you really want to see a character, you can by following the rules below

It works that way because, say one person wants to see Momoshiro really badly but there's like already 10 for Oishi. Then this dedicated person could spare 3 min sending me more than 10 reviews than this person wins. The winner will have the votes reduced to 0 and recounting begins again.

Keep in mind that there's no guarantee that I can find the video.

But if you stick more than one vote in a single review, I'm not going to count it because that's not fair for people that want to see a character badly.

Review please, or vote!

ONE

ONLY!!!!!!!!!!

Multiple votes through multiple reviews please (read reasons above)
