The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 25 Some Notes

First, let me explain:
Letting Sang Yuan go offline is necessary for the plot of this book. I would like to apologize to the readers who like this character.

There is no way, because Rikkai University is full of talented people and there is really no position for him.

Kirihara originally didn't play in his first year, but the rest of the people

There are nine people in total, including Yukimura, Sanada, Niou, Yanagi, Bunta, Kuwazono, Yagyu, Mori, and the protagonist.

You have to know that there are only eight spots for the starting lineup, and that includes seven starters and one substitute.

As for why it was Kuwazono, the first thing to talk about is Marui Bunta's aspect.

Marui's performance in the national edition was mainly offensive at the net, but after the U17, his tennis focus changed. The doubles combination of Marui and Kidote is Kidote attacking and Marui defending.

In particular, the skill that Marui mastered in U17 - Dream Fortress, is a powerful net defense technique.

In my opinion, the existence of Kuwazono has actually hindered Marui's development of his tennis talent, so I will break up the Marui-Kuwazono pair and pair Marui with a new doubles player in the Rikkai University selection. You can guess which one it is. (It's actually very easy to guess) -
And here is my personal opinion about Sanada:

In my opinion, the TV animation 20 years ago had a lot of original plots that discredited the character of Sanada.

In the comics, Sanada was beating Muga Ryoma, but later he lost to Ryoma who activated HT state, Samurai Shadow and cool interception first sight kill. However, in the animation, it was changed to being beaten by Muga Ryoma.

Even in the animation, Sanada's Fuurinkazan was reduced to only the wind, and the fire was indirectly grafted to Ryoma, causing Sanada to score consecutive points by the copycat version of his own special move, with an ugly scene of his racket being knocked away.

Also, in the comics, Sanada's mountain is actually a tactic for fighting a protracted war. The comics clearly mention that before Atobe comprehended the world of ice, he could not beat Sanada who only used the mountain, and he was beaten badly. However, this detail was deleted in the animation, and the boundary between the two people's strength was blurred, giving people the illusion that Atobe's strength is not much different from Sanada's.

Also, in the OVA animation, Sanada was still being tricked, and he couldn't even react to Feng's serve.
