some forgotten treasures from my old lj
The Evolution (or not) of Fuji Syusuke
Fuji: Let's throw this match, it'll be fine.
Fuji: Okay wait, that's my brother. I'll crush you.
Fuji: Here's a lob!
Tezuka: Play seriously. Fuji: No.
Fuji: But I will win this thing even if I'm blind!
Fuji: Ahh... can I just pretend I tried? Echizen: No. Play seriously.
Fuji: Okay fine maybe I will!
Fuji: ...or maybe I'll just quit tennis for good or whatever.
Fuji: Haha, joke's on you, here's the super serious new me!
Coach: Fuji, you're on! Fuji: I'm ready! Echizen: Actually, I kinda really wanted to play tho... Fuji: Ohh yeah no that's cool you can have this match I don‘t mind :3

To be continued ad infinitum?
Srsly tho I love Fuji and since he's canonically only 14 years old he can change his mind about tennis however often he wants.
Echizen: Buchou, I’m stuck in the past and the mafia is after me.
Tezuka: Then you must challenge the mafia boss to a tennis match.
Echizen: But…
Tezuka: The solution to your problem is tennis.
Echizen: What if I die?
Tezuka: Believe in your tennis, Echizen.
Prince of Tennis Episode #144
Tezuka: (to himself) This is an important tennis decision. I must be neutral. Don't think with your dick, Tezuka, don't think with your dick...
Tezuka: I choose Fuji.
Happy birthday, Tezuka Kunimitsu!
Nostalgia time:
I made these terrible, terrible power point slides over 15 years ago. Which is how old Tezuka is today, hurray!
I'm glad that after all this time, the tenipuri fandom is still alive and well and celebrating birthdays! ♡
Back then, things didn't go too well for Atobe though. Or did they?
Happy birthday, Tezuka Kunimitsu!
And don't you ever get careless.
Lesser known tenifacts #1
Here are some random minor tennis facts from the official fanbook 40.5 that I haven't seen floating around yet. Absolutely nobody would be interested in knowing these, so please ignore this post.
the area where Seishun Gakuen is located is called Seiharudai (青春台) and the nearest station is Seiharudai station
within 2 minutes walking distance from the station is the Croatian-style café "London" that serves authentic Brazilian coffee for 350 yen a cup
the vice-president of the student council (that Tezuka Kunimitsu is president of) is a girl called Shiratori Akane who is also a senior
All of today's tenifacts are from pages 52-53 of the fanbook.
The 10 moods of Tezuka Kunimitsu
As carelessly displayed on his very face in the Another Story OVAs. Let's revisit peak animation days!
Tezuka: See? This is why I tell you not to get careless.
Tezuka: I will only have to suffer these idiots for a few more months.
Tezuka: You are not Echizen. None of you are Echizen.
Tezuka: This is what I imagine a smile looks like. I really hope you guys can tell.
Tezuka: So what if the club is in crisis? This 100-year-old dictionary requires my attention.
Tezuka: Yeah, I'll bang her when I'm old enough.
Tezuka: I wouldn't have to deal with this if I were in Germany already.
Tezuka: There is a faint hope in me that you're not going to completely dispappoint me right now.
Tezuka: So what if you caught me doing actual captain things for once? I'm not sulking.
Tezuka: I will make myself run 1000 laps for this. Either before or after I kill Momoshiro.
tennis manga chapters 438 + 439
Someone has to say it. Yes, saying it in German makes it sound kinda cool, but it's still ridiculous and makes no sense.
Mouri has evolved his SLEEP into DREAM and by combining it with Ochi's SILENCE has achieved LUCID DREAM.
What?
Also: Songfic? Again? I thought we were saving this for the final match. But okay. Is everyone getting a song now?
Because I'm not at all opposed to that, I do like my tennis music.
