Random PoT thoughts

[naanima]

So, in between taking notes for Legal Framework, I started thinking about PoT, and one question that I've been meaning to ask popped up.

Let's assume that Seigaku wins against Rikkai, does it mean that Rikkai have no chance of entering the Nationals? Didn't Rikkai win the Nationals last year (I really need to check up the detail)? And if that's the case, doesn't it mean Rikkai automatically have a spot in the Nationals? I mean they are seeded as the National Number 1, right?

'Cos you know, I really, really, really WANT Rikkai to win (they want to win for Yukimura, and that's just so much more meaningful than winning for a captain who damaged his shoulder). Or at least makes it to the Nationals. Hell, in my deluded little mind I'm still holding a candle for Fudomine and Hyotei ending up in the Nationals. It doesn't need to make sense (god knows a lots of PoT at times doesn't make sense), I just want it somehow to happen.

My perfect ending for Prince of Tennis would be Seigaku, with Tezuka (left shoulder healed) entering the Nationals. The end.

No, I'm serious. I don't want to see what happens in the Nationals. I just want to know that they made it. And if this is the anime, I want the credit rolling with shots of Seigaku and the other rival schools of what happened after the Nationals.

yup, i think anipuri already showed us how this works: rikkai and seigaku are just fighting for first and second place in the kantou regional finals. so whatever happens, they're both getting into the nationals :)

afaik, too, hyoutei was eliminated, but i thought fudomine IS going to the nationals...? i could be wrong, though i always thought that defeat by rikkai at kantou doesn't mean they were eliminated, just taken out of the running for gold and silver... (needs clarification too)

Now you got me all curious too, because I could swear that Fudoumine was still in the running, as were Rokkaku. Or am I just delusional? XD; I know Sengoku will be participating, but is all of Yamabuki attending as well? *confused, confused*

[muzivitch.livejournal.com]

I think you're right...Fudomine and Rokkaku will both be going to Nationals as well, and Yamabuki is one of the consolation teams - Midoriyama is the other one, in the manga, but since they were nonexistant in the anime, I can only hypothesize that the other team might be Jyousei Shounen? I am certain the Hyoutei has been completely eliminated. Unfortunately.

[naanima.livejournal.com]

Yes. That's the important thing, as long as Fudomine makes it, all is well with the world.

Jyousei Shounen. I'm so glad I have stopped following the anime. As long as the manga doesn't screw up I'm okay. Though, I still think Hyotei could've kicked Yamabuki's ass (less Akutsu). Not too sure about Rokkaku's ability, that's one area of the manga I still haven't had the chance to check yet.

I'm pretty sure you are right about Hyotei. Oh well, I'll just have to keep on stalking reading your lj for Atobe fics ^^;;

There's pretty much full agreement that Fudomine is going to the Nationals, as well as Yamabuki and Rokkaku. And of course both Seigaku and Rikkai will be going, whether they lose at Kantou or not.

Practically all my fav teams will be appearing again. I'm sooooo happy. *squee*

(too bad about Hyotei).

[morinotokei.livejournal.com]

If only they switched Midoriyama for Hyoutei. But then again, the competition would probably drive me insane during the Nationals. Not that it won't already. >.>

OMG! Can you imagine ALL your favourite characters and Teams in the SAME place, at the SAME TIME!!!

I can't wait. The ego, the jokes, the sheer presence. Wahhhhhh. Happy fangirl.

[morinotokei.livejournal.com]

*cackles* That...is a lot of characters, for me anyway. I have favorites from just about every team, even if Rikkai is my current love. But yes, very happy fangirl if Konomi decides to flesh out a lot of the characters during the Nationals. *will not get hopes up...wah*

[naanima.livejournal.com]

It is a lots of characters. I have at least two favourite characters from all the teams. And that's just scary, if they all make it. Though, it would support me in my yaoi fantasies *cough*

It's hard not to get one's hope up. Yes, it is. I'll worship forever if he decide to flesh the characters out. Yes, I will.
