Niou improved his copycat/impersonation skill he played a perfect tezuka and ryoma

[Lavi]

honestly I was expecting some lame shit like atobe stalling them while niou recovers. (similar to kaidou stalling for inui data)

I much prefer what actually happened though.

I want to see some more of inui's juice everytime I watch that moment I laugh my ass off. Tezuka wasn't phased by it one time, also like how fuji like the drinks.

Speaking of Kaidoh, you guys think there's any chance he'll play in one these matches? He's my favorite Seigaku player, so I hope so.

[Lavi]

honestly, no. we've seen 5 players so far, meaning 5 left.

kaidoh over ryoma/shiraishi/sanada/fuji/akutsu/kintaro/akaya/tachi/kippei/tons of others better than him seems unlikely.

the way tanishi kei was getting a lot of attention I thought he would play, but I would have figured his opponent would be Duke, seems not.

can 2nd string non middle schoolers also join? like tokugawa

Kintaro - Akutsu should pair up. would be like the weirdest combo.

[NiL8r]

I agree with everything you said, but the way they focused on the stamina issue in Atobe/Niou's match, I would've figured Kaidoh, being the stamina expert, would have stepped up.

Probably I like him as well I want to see how much of his boomerang snake improved.

Well he has alot of power similar to that of Momo, and he has speed as well. And endurance, He is also one of the Black Jackets so he must have gotten much better as well.

There is nothing stopping other players from challenging the first stringers if the first challenger is beaten, is there? I expect to see some more middle schoolers going for the 10-20 places, maybe even challenging other middle schoolers for the places. I don't care much for Kawamura, Kabaji and Momo is the first string; they are good but no where near the best 20. I'm guessing that is Oishi is in it and the 15 place above him is available since Niou returned it then that is a place for Eiji. Would be a shame if they don't have more challenges, there are quite a few more players I would love to see in the 20. They way Atobe and Niou struggled against 9 and 10 I can't see many of the other middle schoolers making 8 or lower.

Irie stepped up to take 20, I expect Tokugawa to at some point, he will most likely challenge for 1.

Actually it was stated this is a group shuffle match

So I'd say no you can't challenge a top 10'er that already won.
At least not now, possibly later on.

I didn't mean at the moment, I mean sometime after all these matches have been completed. Still, I think places 11-20 are all open for challenges, I really want some of the other middle school players to step up. I'm really surprised Oshitari Yuushi hasn't really appeared yet, seems to be more about his cousin these days. Also I want Fuji! I doubt Yuushi is top 10 material so I hope he knocks one of the other middle schoolers out of the first string, possibly the same with Fuji although a shock appearance against one of the top 10 would be nice.

My predictions for the remaining matches:

Spoiler

1. Byodoin Hoo vs Tokugawa
2. Tanegashima Shuji vs ????
3. Duke Watanabe vs Gin (lost)
4. Echizen Ryoga vs Ryoma
5. Oni Jujiro vs Akutsu
6. Omagari Ryuji vs ????
7. Kimijima Ikuto + 8. Tono Atsukyo vs Kite + Marui

Sanada will probably challenge one of them, not sure if it will be 6 or 2 though. Not sure on the other person, most likely it will be Shiraishi. I want to see Fuji at least get somewhere between 11-20, maybe beat one of the other middle schoolers who have already won.
