Fuji is the real PoT *___* !!!

[piccu]

Some of you might probably know this already but I've been uberly convinced from the very beginning that Fuji's the real Prince of Tennis, not Ryoma. There are less than half a dozen chapters left and I thought it's time to clarify my point of view ;DD

"The chapters in Prince of Tennis are called Genius. Not Brat244, neither Pillar01 nor Samurai345, they are called GENIUS ==> FUJI SHUUSUKE!!!"

-this made me laugh. Fuji is awesome and made of win. Cool thing about Fuji meaning 'not second', I didn't know that. All I knew was that Fuji was an illusion to Fuji films and so one of Fuji's hobbies was photography. I think, actually, there are more than one prince in Prince of Tennis and so it should be called Princes of Tennis. I mean, we have Tezuka, Fuji, Yukimura, Atobe (who calls himself ore-sama, what more proof do we need?) and several others.

One thing's certain: Ryoma = brat, not prince. Agreed.

I think the author was just having fun with his name. Same thing goes for him liking apples. :P

BTW I don't think I've seen Yukimura play tennis yet... what chapters?

[piccu]

Yes, Konomi probably thinks that his puns are pretty funny^^
Maybe, it's just me with interpretaing too much, but I don't think that's a coincidence that Fuji's kanji can mean "not second"

We only see Yukimura holding a racket in some of chapters. No match was shown and we know next to nothing about his play style, but they are some backgorund infos e.g. that he played against Kirihara at least once. Remember when Kirihara remembers that he was crushed by Rikkai's demons?

oh I'm not disagreeing with the "not second" part at all =) I've read somewhere that Konomi has once said Fuji is his favorite character... I haven't been able to find the original reference yet. Anyone know about this?

Anyhow given how predicable PoT has always been, we know Ryoma is the "chosen one", but wouldn't it be cool if Konomi came out in the end (read: my daydream) to say "I got you all fooled, Fuji is the real prince!"? It would be like a super twist ending! =)

Oh, no I haven't yet either *pout* but it was said in an interview that Konomi thought out of all the players, Yukumira was the best..so yeah...But I'm thinking he's going to play Ryoma (the little brat) in singles one of nationals. Honestly, I don't see why Ryoma needs to play him- if anything, Tezuka should play him. I mean, I'm happy he had his rematch with Sanada and all that, but really...*huffs*

whoops, I forgot to sign in. Scratch that about Sanada and Tezuka's rematch- let me explain. Well, I guess I meant in an figurative sense- Sanada's been waiting to play him for ages, but really, I forgot they haven't played each other before- that was Atobe. My bad.
