Youre so strong-willed that its cute.
Uh?
Momoshiro
Huh?
Can you play doubles?
Doubles?
If youre not interested, forget it.
No...
Thats where Im strongest.
Liar! Liar!
Hiss
Oh, man
Practice is finally over and now we have to go shopping?
Why not? This is part of the fun.
Its hard enough on us
but Ryoma, you must be exhausted.
Yeah. You had to go through training with the regulars.
Not really.
He may be a regular, but hes still a 1st year player.
He gets no special treatment. Thats the way we do it.
Uh That hurt.
Give it back!
Purse-snatcher!
A purse-snatcher?!
Outta my way! Get outta my way!
Ill get him!
Momo!
Momoshiro Clothesline!
Shucks!
Give it back! Give me my bag!
Damn! I messed up.
Echizen, take care of the shopping.
Momo Senpai! Its dangerous!
Wait up! You!
Huh? Whats with that guy?
Damn, this is no good.
I cant catch up to someone on roller blades.
Huh?
Sorry, I have to borrow your bike.
Oh!
Hey!
Thats my bicycle!
Damn that bike snatcher!
You wont get away with it!
Oh, that guy
Could it be?
Im rocking to the rhythm!
Huh? What?!
Its Kamiofrom Fudomine!
H-Hes gone
I wonder if Momo Senpai will be all right.
You know him. I dont think we need to worry.
Hi
Oh...
Yo.
Hold it!
Thats a Seigaku uniform, right? Dont tell me youre Kaido!
Dont confuse me with that idiot!
Watching you play,
I figured you were pretty disagreeable, but I didnt think you were this rotten!
I agree with you, but Im not Viper, I tell you.
You think you can beat me at my rhythm?
Thats interesting!
Come and catch me if you can. Whats with those guys?
Oh...!
You!
Outta the way! Outta the way!
That was Viper!
Then, who are you?
Open your eyes, will you?!
You there! Get outta the way! Get outta the way!
Oh, my bag!
You there. Come with me to the police sub-station.
You! Youre Momoshiro!
So, you finally noticed?
Im stepping up the rhythm!
Thats my line!
Dont underestimate me, Kamio! That corners mine!
UNDER CONSTRUCTION PLEASE PARDON THE INCONVENIENCE SAFETY FIRST
Damn you! If you smash my bike, Im gonna give it to you!
Hey, you!
Dont be ridiculous!
Ive got the best reflexes of anyone at Seigaku!
W-Wasnt that Momoshiro and Kamio from Fudomine?
Whos the best at Seigaku?!
Oh no! My bicycle!
I see you have the best reflexes in Seigaku.
Dont say that.
MITSUMARU STORE
Welcome
Y-You mean youre shopping here too, Shinji?
Wh-What a coincidence.
Dont they both seem angry?
He lost once to Ryoma, you know.
And Echizen himself was hurt in that match.
Oh, yeah Echizen, hows your injury?
Huh? Its fine now.
They talked to each other!
Have they made up?
No way
Ive never seen friends this gloomy.
Momoshiro
Please hurry back.
Hiss
Oh, boy. Sorry for everything.
Im so sorry.
Didnt I tell you the culprit was wearing roller blades,
and was older?
He wasnt as young and cute as him.
What in the?
Why didnt you tell me you were after a purse-snatcher?
It shouldve been obvious. Why would I steal somebodys bike?
And was it okay to let the purse-snatcher get away?
Well, Viper was there, so things probably worked out.
Huh? What does that mean?
Looks like its not broken.
By the way, hows the Fudomine team doing?
Well never lose to Seigaku again. Anyway, arent you a bench warmer?
Idiot, what do you mean, bench warmer?! It just happened that day
What? Let me go, will you?
That voice...! It sounds familiar.
Oh! Isnt this the place?
No! Let me go!
Now, now Dont put up such a fuss.
You promised, didnt you?
If we beat everyone, youd go out on a date with me.
So it is An, after all.
Say, isnt that Tachibanas sister?
Huh? Gyokurin?!
Momoshiro
What? There are two more?
An! Whats the matter?
Well, these guys are bullying the amateur players--
You talking about that bunch of losers?
Youre so strong-willed, its cute.
Momoshiro... Huh?
Can you play doubles?
Doubles?
Forget it if youre not interested.
No...
Thats where Im strongest.
Liar! Liar!
Fine with me. Bring everybody on. Right, Kabaji?
Right.
Gyokurin, lend me your racket.
Uhsure.
Listen. Are you sure youll be all right?
Dont worry! Dont worry!
I played you twice, so you should know how good I am.
Idiot! Thats why Im asking!
Hm Youre using a good racket.
Be careful with it! Its expensive.
Im sorry to get you two involved.
Its nice that youre so brave, but take it easy, will you?
Youre acting a little too chummy with her!
I wish youd just say Im lovable.
Damn!
That Momo! Whos the best at Seigaku?
Youre still harping on that?
But isnt it strange?
Momoshiro was supposed to be out shopping with Echizen and the guys.
Purse-snatcher!
Purse-snatcher?!
Thanks for your business.
Heres your receipt.
Thank you.
Good luck in the Metropolitan Matches.
Thank you very much.
I hope no one gets hurt this time--
Why?
Nothings happened, so why are we being so cautious?
Oh! Here it is! Oh! Here it is!
Let me have it.
No.
Oh!
Somethings finally happened!
Wait!
Give me back my bag!
My strong point is that I dont give up after one failure.
Ohh This is dangerous! Wed better get out of here.
Here, Taka. Hold this racket.
Justice! I will uphold peace in this town! Take that!
Hey! My racket!
Wait, damn you!

Hiss
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
WellIts unusual to come across a good young man like that today.
Yes. Hes a fine boy. Hell grow up to be quite handsome.
Oh Sorry, Kikumaru
Never mind. I had been thinking of restringing it, anyway.
Oh! Its Eiji and Takashi!
Let me have it
No!
Let me have it, I said!
No, I said! No!
Let me have it!
No, I said!
Youre such a pain
Let me have it, will you?!
What a problem. No, I said!
Its popular and theres only one left. Ive been wanting to get this
Whats going on? This ones hard to find.
Oh, Kikumaru! Please stop those two! Let me have it.
Huh, wha--?
All right! Echizen!
For the sake of Seigaku, never everback down!
Yikes!
Whats he doing?! Thats fuel on the fire!
Dont do that! If Tezuka or Ms. Ryuzaki find out, well get it.
But were going up against Fudomine at the Metropolitan Matches.
If we lose now, it wont look good. Go, little guy!
Ohhh
You dont have to tell me that.
Me either.
Thank you very much.
A-Anyway, it isnt good for the store, so lets settle this somewhere else.
Oh I wonder where Momoshiro has gone
Oh, I just saw Momo running off toward the tennis courts with Kamio.
You dont think Those two
They may be facing off, too.
You dont mind playing forward?
No. Either way, itll be an easy win.
As I said You have no reason to be so confident!
An, wouldnt it be better for you to disappear now?
I cant do that. This is my fault.
Hes that really strong guy we saw the other day.
Hey! Were counting on you!
Ill let you guys serve.
Its too tiring, so well just play one game, right Kabaji?
Yeah
Him! The big guys planning to play alone again!
Humph! They sure have an attitude problem.
Shall we show them were serious?
Yeah
Hes fast!
Damn Hes big, but he moves fast.
It got past him!
What, is it the end already?
Hey, Momoshiro. Are you sure youre good at doubles?
Im stepping up the rhythm!
Get it, Kabaji!
Okay.
Huh! The back took it?!
Keep calm, Kamio.
This is our chance!
An overhead smash?
That guys doing his best to get me riled up.
Take it, Kabaji.
Okay.
Momoshiro!
What?
Amazing! His persistence paid off!
Forget it, Kabaji.
Thats enough.
Well let you win today.
Whats your name?
Seigaku 8th grader, Takeshi Momoshiro.
What about you?
Hyotei Academy 9th grader, Keigo Atobe.
Wait a minute! Im Fudomine 8th grader, Kamio.
I didnt ask you, did I?
Damn you
Kamio, dont let it get you down.
Shut up! Its your fault because you messed up.
Thanks, both of you! You were a big help.
Of course, it was a tough battle with my partner being so bad.
You! Youre gonna get me really mad!
So hes from that Hyotei Academy, seeded #1 in the Metropolitan Matches
So, how are you going to decide?
I guess tennis
What?! Huh?!
Youre planning to have a match?
Okay! The loser has to guzzle down Inuis veggie drink!
No way!
Whats that?
You dont want to know.
Purse-snatcher!
Huh?!
If at first you dont succeed! Outta my way!
Thats the guy!
I tell you what!
Whoever catches him is the winner! Got it, you two?
Yeah
Service Seigaku and Fudomine!
Oh!
He did it!
Its Ryomas kick serve!
Its over. Game: Echizen, Seigaku!
And there you have it.
Now, lets go quietly to the police. Huh?
Kaido?
Hiss.
Youre a mess!
Were you doing some of your secret training?
Damnyoupunk!
Stop it, Kaido!
All because of this guy, I Hey, sorry Im late!
Momo Senpai!
Hey, Momo! Who did you say has the best reflexes at Seigaku?!
What?!
Im impressed, Echizen.
But, it wont go so easy in the Metropolitan Matches. Remember that.
Hes started to mutter again!
He must be really frustrated. Youre too lucky for a 7th grader.
It makes me mad.
We may go to different schools... Momo!
but Im a year older.
Calm down, Kikumaru Senpai!
Stop it! Kaido! Dont do it!
In tennis, youre not full-fledged...
until you learn some manners. You! Dont hide behind Senpai!
No, Kaido!
Considering that, youre such a baby. Please help me!
You should be more modest, like me... I never said anything like that!
No, I heard you say so!
You really should. Hey, Momoshiro!
Learn some common sense. Can I go home, Momoshiro?
We still have a ways to go.
But Sorry for what happened at that tournament.
Hello, Im Saori Shiba.
The Seigaku boys are practicing harder and harder.
I can just imagine how awful it must be.
On top of that,
they have to take a new veggie drink developed by Inui.
Maybe Tezuka, too?
Mr. Inoue! Please let me go and cover the story!
Next on The Prince of Tennis: Here Comes Inuis Deluxe Drink!
Now, I wonder who the victims will be this time!
