OMIGOosH... now Imma put the EVOLVED counters

HERE THEY ARE

Houou Gaeshi (Phoenix Return)

(鳳凰返し)

One of the 3 upgraded techniques of the triple counter in the match against Kuranosuke Shiraishi in the Nationals. Houou Gaeshi is the upgraded version of Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Return). Unlike Tsubame Gaeshi, Houou Gaeshi sank at a higher rate and closer to the net, thus making it much harder to return.


[edit] Kirin Otoshi (Kirin/Qilin Drop)

(キリン落とし)

One of the 3 upgrade techniques of the triple counter in the match against Kuranosuke Shiraishi in the Nationals. Kirin Otoshi is the updated version of Higuma Otoshi (Bear Drop). Not much has been shown of this perfected technique, only that is was not able to be returned by Shiraishi. The only visible difference from this technique is that Fuji uses two hands to repel Shiraishi's smash rather than the one handed "Bear Drop".


[edit] Hakuryu (White Dragon)

(白竜)

One of the 3 upgraded techniques of the triple counter in the match against Kuranosuke Shiraishi in the Nationals. Hakuryu is the updated version of Hakugei (White Whale). Unlike Hakugei, Hakuryu rose much higher into the sky. Instead of spinning backwards to Fuji, the ball will bounce towards the sides.

Interesting note: When he first hits this shot, it bounces back not towards him, but sideways towards Ryoma. Ryoma, though not expecting it, catches the ball.


[edit] Hecatoncheires no Monban (Gate Keeper of Hecatonchires)

(へカトンケイルの門番)

The Final Counter, Gate Keeper of Hecatoncheires, is actually translated to "The Hundred Armed Giant", but this is a title from Greek Mythology, and thus kept with the name "Gate keeper of Hecatoncheires". Using the reverse side of the racket, Fuji uses the slide of the oncoming ball over the gut and forcing a super spin to the ball. Then by instantaneously reversing his wrist and using the other side of the racket, he doubles the spin yet again. Under the super spin of this technique, Kuranosuke Shiraishi was sealed from returning the ball over the net, whether he used a lob, slice, or even top spin. However, he has managed to overcome it and break this counter.
