Thiss bad! Hes still bleeding.
The eye itself seems okay, but his eyelid is split open.
Geez! It must be so painful
Taka, come on! Do you need to go to the hospital again?
He shouldnt have forced his swing.
Serves him right.
How is he, Oishi?
He doesnt look good. Theres no way he can continue to play.
Its disappointing to forfeit at this point, but
Things are getting out of hand.
Shinji isnt satisfied with this kind of ending.
Thats for sure
Man! Look at those broken pieces!
Echizen, Im going to put your broken racket in your bag.
Hey Momo
While youre at it, please take out another racket.
Ryoma
Is this really the district qualifier? Its such a high level.
They should watch their pace
They dont care.
Youre right.
But Im getting good information for the future at least.
He hit it where he didnt expect it!
Oh, no! He wont make it!
Fifteen - All.
He returned with a right forehand! Unbelievable!
He plays with either hand
I see You can hit with either hand
Hey, hurry up! It looks like the final match is getting exciting.
Oh, Ryoma is approaching the net!
Ive never seen Echizen rush the net that aggressively.
Good. He lobbed the ball with perfect timing.
Hes outwitted!
No! Ryoma!
Forty - Fifteen.
Great! Awesome! Ryoma!
I cant believe Shinji is getting pushed around
And that boy plays with his left hand now!
When Ryoma plays tennis, he is so cool!
There!
Shinji
When are you going to get serious?
I know you let your opponent take the early lead
and then you fight back to win,
but if you dont start now, youll be knocked off your feet.
Could it be... Is Shinji having a hard time?
There!
Yes! A leaping overhead!
Great, Echizen. Hes playing almost too well!
Game to Echizen of Seigaku. Four games to one.
Incredible
Hes playing much better than he did in the ranking tournament.
We have to work harder as well.
There!
Hes running Shinji ragged. Who is that? That 7th-grader
Shinji...
Youre not
Did you notice his pattern?
Huh?
It looks like
hes hitting topspins and slices, one after another.
There!
Youre right!
There!
This ball is mine!
Fifteen - Love.
Hey, whats wrong with him? That was an easy ball to return
Yeah, hes unlucky!
But its only one point. No problem.
What was that?
It looked like the little one halted for just a second.
That longhaired kid plays fairly well.
My arm?
Im going to stop you!
What happened?
Shinji stopped that 7th grader.
Huh?
It was sort of a gamble but
Topspinsand slices
Ryoma is forced to return shots that spin in opposite directions, over and over.
This action makes his muscles contract, causing spot paralysis.
Spot?!
Its only momentary but Shinji seized the opportunity.
Shinji learned a technique like that?
Thirty - Love.
It was a gamble. Its still an incomplete technique.
I guess it just shows you how far hes been pushed.
Hes doing it again!
Forty - Love.
M-My arm... again!
Is he pivoting his body?!
Darn!
Ryoma turned his body and went to force his shot!
Echizen?! Ah!
Its useless
When youre hit with spot paralysis, you lose your grip as well.
Watch out!
Taka, thats the wrong way. Right, right!
Oh, yeah.
Momo, I know you wanted to watch the match.
Since you snuck out of the hospital, you might get a scolding from the doctor.
But Taka, all of us should watch it!
Watch what?
Seigakus
Vic-to-ry!
Ryoma
Its useless
When youre hit with spot paralysis, you lose your grip as well.
Oh!
Watch out!
Ryoma!
Are you all right, Ryoma?
Dont step onto the court.
This
No thanks. Get off the court right now.
But you should go to the hospital.
I dont need to!
What? Youre hurt so badly!
Geez
I broke my racket
Hey! Forget about your racket!
Excuse me, miss!
Only players are allowed on the court.
Hmm Me? Ryoma, we have to go.
H-Hey
You cant play. Youre injured!
Huh?
Grandma
An outsider shouldnt get involved. Its embarrassing for the player.
As my granddaughter, you should know that.
B-But Ryoma Hes injured
Anyway, lets stop his bleeding. Get the first-aid kit right now!
Is his eye all right?
Hes bleeding a lot. It looks very bad.
He wont be able to return to play.
He was playing well until now.
But thats the way it goes when someone gets hurt accidentally.
Damn! Our team almost won!
Im sure Echizen doesnt want this kind of ending.
You mean he should continue the match?!
Why?!
Why does he have to play when hes injured like that?!
S-Sorry! S-Sorry!
O-Oh Sorry for yelling at you
N-No problem. N-No problem.
Whats wrong with Sakuno?
Shes not herself.
She acted just like Tomoka.
Kippei
Oh. Hi, An.
Is that boy all right?
Its hard to say
Shoot. Its still bleeding.
His eye itself seems okay, but his eyelid is split open.
Geez! It must be so painful
Phew
Taka, come on! Do you need to go to the hospital again?
He shouldnt have forced that swing.
Serves him right.
How is he, Oishi?
He doesnt look good.
Theres no way he can continue to play.
Its disappointing to forfeit at this point, but
Has he stopped playing?
Shinji isnt satisfied with this kind of ending.
Thats right.
Man! Look at those broken pieces!
Echizen, Im going to put your broken racket in your bag.
Momo...
While youre at it, please get another racket ready.
Ryoma
Okay.
No way. Youre injured!
Youd better stop, its too risky.
Echizen
Dont tell me youre going to continue.
I cant allow you to play if youre bleeding.
I know youre disappointed after coming this far,
but I have to say its over, okay?
Ill play.
Huh? L-Listen, you
Its not bleeding anymore.
Ryoma! Come over here!
Humph! What do you mean, Its not bleeding anymore?
Youre such a crazy kid.
Whats the problem?!
You must be hurting.
Not at all.
Oishi! Give me the first-aid kit!
Uh! Y-Yes!
Ryoma, its going to hurt.
O-Ouch!
Coach Ryuzaki!
Well, were finished.
Its stopped!
Stopped bleeding? It was bleeding so hard until now.
Well, I stopped it temporarily. Itll work for 15 minutes maximum.
Its Sumire-chans magic!
Fuji! Stop calling me Sumire-chan!
If it stops bleeding, I can keep playing, right?
Thats what I said. But you
Echizen, heres the racket.
Thanks, Momo
Oishi
Captain
Ten minutes!
If youre not able to finish the match within ten minutes, youll have to forfeit.
Tezuka!
Understand?
Thats all I need!
Echizen, go for it! But watch yourself.
Youll need this.
Thank you, Kaido!
The match is starting again!
Really?
That guys left eye is injured!
Hes playing Shinji with that injury Hes crazy.
Its too risky.
And besides that, his opponent is so tricky.
Hes in a bad situation!
Plus, hes injured. Theres no chance hell win.
Even if he didnt have an injury, he was in a tough spot.
In that case
He has no chance to win!
Ryoma, nail down our championship!
Yeah, come on!
I havent beaten you completely yet
What?!
Its so fast! Hes hitting the ball much faster!
Hes!
Amazing That 7th-grader
He was injured so badly
Unbelievable No way
F-Fifteen - Love.
Hey
You all worry too much about a little thing like this.
Ryoma
He wont let this defeat him.
Im Takashi Kawamura.
Echizen, dont worry about the injury. You can definitely win, baby.
Show us your burning spirit. Spirit!
Then well all have great fun.
Hey, welcome!
Next on The Prince of Tennis: Time Limit.
Im on fire! Burning!
