(Yes, exactly! Like Orochimaru, only without the sociopathy & murderous experiments. I guess Orochimaru is the child resulting from the union between Atobe & Inui. I think that's why I liked Light more than L for so long. And why I think Rikkai wins best overall team.) Fuji is still mada mada da ne, but I think he could almost be Yukimura if he continues on with the caring thing. He could be better than Atobe, because (although Atobe is one of the two characters I have the hardest time imagining NOT going pro) Atobe isn't actually a genius tennis player.

(Assuming you're using the top=first listed thing, I'd have an easier time with it that way, too. But mostly because I have an aversion to top-Tezuka that far beats any wish I might have to see Fuji lose the upper hand.) In particular, Sanada in that role is ridiculous. I mean, dude. Yukimura. I think we all know who's in control in that relationship. :D But Tomoka is the best ever. :( I can't possibly not love her, because she's so enthusiastic and clueless and bossy and twelve years old.
