O Buchou! My Buchou!

[prillalar]

The Boy was helping me brainstorm a tenipuri fic today. About Kaidoh, of course.

Boy: Will this be something I can read?

Hal: There might be some mild slash content but not too much.

Boy: You mean afterwards, Kaidoh comes back and he and Inui have sex?

Hal: a;lkajs;dlkfja;lskdjf;lakj;l

Hal: I said mild slash content! Slash does not equal porn

YAY! Actual POT discussion on my friends list! --which I can read because I was (voluntarily) spoiled for the Great Divergence of the manga/anime last night (wtf wtf wtf) and now I must simply find a way to read the entire manga from start to finish, haha.

I think that although Kaidoh probably has the maturity to become buchou, Momo has that plus something very vital--the tennis club members like him better. Everyone loves Momo, and they're sort of scared to death of Kaidoh. Kaidoh is also the type of person who never steps in unless he's needed, whereas Momo is a much more motivational person, with the charisma to motivate through his enthusiasm and personal example; whereas, you know, Kaidoh hissing and scowling at them is probably a good motivator too, but one has to ask if it's the best one :D. Hahaha, Scowling!Kaidoh = Seigaku's next form of Inui Juice.

(Why don't I have any POT icons yet? *headdesk*)

[prillalar]

Hee! See my Good Cop/Bad Cop theory above. Also, I figure Inui might be training Kaidoh up to be buchou. He probably has all sorts of statistics to show that if Kaidoh is buchou, Seigaku has a 3.4% greater chance of making it to Nationals than if Momo is buchou.

Re manga, I can zip what I have in batches and upload it to YSI for you, if you like. LMK. There are gaps and scanlation is still going on, but there's quite a lot. And they're going great guns on the new raws, so those are getting closer to being caught up.

Thank you for the offer, Hal! I actually was able to get them from Orphne (who I think got them from you initially, so in a way I did get them from you, haha.) --she has everything that's out and scanned so far.

She mentioned there were tentative plans to do a second anime series??? How likely is it, do you think? *hopes hopes hopes!*

[prillalar]

The second series thing was a rumour and then later someone said that it was a false rumour. So, who knows? I'm not sure it's likely, given the way the series ended. But I have hopes of an OVA, at least. And more movies.

Of course, at home we have long discussions about Prince of Tennis: Year Two, which focuses on Fudomine instead of Seigaku and which the Boy calls "Tachibana An's Boy Toys".

Woot. TeniPuri dicussion at Hal's place!

Hmm... I'd think that Kaidoh would be able to intimdate *anyone* into obeying him (like Tezuka) while Momo will be the "Geez Viper, you're making that kid over there shit in his pants", laid-back and approachable one. So, I'm putting my money on Kaidoh as the Scary and Demands Respect But Secretly Adores Fluffy Animals buchou, and Momo as the "Whee! LUCKY! Where's the food?" fukubuchou.

And Arai can wave a little flag and has his own set of first year followers.

Personally, I'm getting amused just thinking of the situation... they might have a "No arguments during Club practice" thing and then afterwards or before school, they'll argue and fight and make out and traumatize the other students . Or, maybe not and they'll argue like crazy.

[prillalar]

Hee! The Arai Faction! And Momo and Kaidoh will always make out, just not in front of anybody else. And they will always fight.

But what I want to see is the two of them fighting together against a common enemy. Brawl!

[chzbrgr_of_doom]

I can see Ryuzaki sensei threatening to make Horio buchou if they don't work it out amongst themselves. at which point Kaido and Momo would panic and play rock paper scissors. Then Kaido would win because he always chooses paper, and Momo would get mad because he always chooses rock because he thinks it represents how strong and manly he is. XD

...I didn't get enough sleep last night XD

[prillalar]

Good old rock. Nothing beats rock.

Horio-buchou! That would be a dream come true.

Good luck with convincing the Boy that slash != porn

My boyfriend is still unconvinced. ^^;

[i_smile]

I think that Momo might be able to guilt people into doing stuff pretty soon, man. And Kaidoh has the Sanada-style fukubuchou thing down, minus violence. :D

I just have a hard time seeing Momo doing any actual work if he were the fukubuchou, whereas as buchou, he'd have the responsibility, and might really believe that he does have to do it. Kaidoh, on the other hand, would take either position seriously. (Then again, in this series, people mature some three or four years every summer--and ten in the case of Tezuka--so maybe he'll have come to a different understanding.)
