40.5 Translation (Shinji)
For hikariblue. I apologize for all inaccuracies--my Japanese still isn't at a level where I'm comfortable doing more than small bits and pieces. Pointing out mistakes/inaccuracies is VERY much appreciated! If people reproduce this, please credit aiwritingfic or link here. Small font = my insertions/comments.

Of the players who developed their skills at Fudoumine, he has grown the most. On the one hand, he uses a cool playing style, while on the other he may be led by his surging enthusiasm. He works on enriching his spirit and humanity.

(picture speech bubble: ... what's with calling this "Super Tennis". Isn't it normal?)
(picture caption: Demonstrating his greatly levelled-up appearance for Nationals. The difference gave tough guys nationwide the creeps.) (... did I get the last sentence wrong? Originally その余裕が、全国の猛者に不気味さを与えた。If you're reading this, koorinohonou, let me know?)

(tennis ball: Analysis of Shinji!) His favorite music, folk songs and rock:
Beneath that calm and steady demeanor hides a rebellious heart!
Surprisingly, he likes soulful music. Folk songs steeped in folk consciousness, rebellious rock, both influence his tennis.

Rivals talking about Ibu!
Kadowaki Satoru: That amazing Super Tennis was dismissed as "normal" just like that. Ba-ro-! I'll beat him next time. (*wince* I don't know where this accent is from, but damn, that's difficult to understand. He says "fushi" but I've translated it as "fushigi" in an accent. I have NO IDEA what "ba-ro-" means.)

"To be defeated in a place like this ... that's it for us ... we're done for!" (I can't express this in English clearly enough, which drives me nuts because I feel like I should be able to. Anyway, to explain this clearly, Shinji says "dame da ... dame nanda-!" which is a desperate "OH GOD, WHY US, WHY HERE, WHY NOW?" sort of way to say it. *hugs him*)
