[00:02] ---
    We will now start #1 doubles of
    the semi-finals of the U-17 World Cup:
[00:07] ---
    France versus Japan!
[00:11] ---
    For France: Edgar Delacroix
    and Jonathan Saint Georges.
[00:18] ---
    For Japan: Jusaburo Mori
    and Renji Yanagi.
[00:25] ---
    Edgar, Edgar! You three
    look like great, hulking idiots.
[00:30] ---
    Will I be all right?
[00:32] ---
    You didn't need to say that.
[00:34] ---
    Owwie.
[00:36] ---
    I'll paint you, too.
[00:38] ---
    P-Please don't!
    That face paint is so not cool.
[00:43] ---
    Owwie!
[00:45] ---
    Hey, you. Cool hairdo.
[00:50] ---
    Don't brush me off.
[00:52] ---
    Hey, I'm talking to you, Egg.
[00:56] ---
    Oh, he wasn't talking to me?
    Didn't have to ignore him, then.
[01:09] ---
    They don't really seem to get along.
[01:13] ---
    "The Worst Doubles Pair"
[01:22] ---
    Mori graduated from Rikkai, right?
[01:25] ---
    He's a year above me.
[01:27] ---
    He's talented, but he used
    to ditch practice a lot.
[01:30] ---
    I rarely saw him at practice.
[01:33] ---
    He ditched our club practices?
[01:36] ---
    As a result, things are strained
    between him and the big three.
[01:40] ---
    Especially with...
[01:50] ---
    Y-Yanagi.
[01:56] ---
    Is Yukimura doing okay?
[02:00] ---
    After the World Cup, he'll go to the US
    to undergo a surgery that will cure him.
[02:05] ---
    Is he? That's great to hear.
[02:08] ---
    I was worried.
[02:10] ---
    You were worried?
[02:12] ---
    You rarely even attended practice!
[02:16] ---
    When Seiichi longed to play tennis but was
    unable to, we were the ones by his side.
[02:22] ---
    You, on the other hand, could play all
    you wanted, yet neglected practices.
[02:27] ---
    How do you think that made Seiichi feel?
[02:30] ---
    Do you know how much pain
    he had to endure?!
[02:36] ---
    I will never forgive you!
[02:41] ---
    Never utter Seiichi's name again.
[02:49] ---
    S-So basically, those two are
    the worst doubles pair?!
[02:55] ---
    The best of three sets. Japan to serve!
[03:03] ---
    Th-That's fast!
[03:12] ---
    15-0.
[03:13] ---
    Man, what's wrong with you?
[03:15] ---
    S-Sorry!
[03:17] ---
    Nice!
[03:22] ---
    Probability that there's some
    unpleasantness between those two: 100%.
[03:26] ---
    Even I could tell.
[03:33] ---
    The other side?
[03:35] ---
    Got you!
[03:38] ---
    I won't go down that easy!
[03:41] ---
    Oh no--
[03:43] ---
    How did he anticipate this far ahead?
[03:45] ---
    I knew you would say that.
[03:52] ---
    There's his Razor Slice.
[03:54] ---
    It's become significantly sharper.
[03:57] ---
    Damn.
[03:58] ---
    Game, Japan. 1-0.
[04:01] ---
    Razor Slice...
[04:03] ---
    Nice, Yanagi.
[04:07] ---
    I'd appreciate if you didn't use
    reckless poaches.
[04:15] ---
    Game, Japan. 2-0.
[04:18] ---
    Game, Japan. 3-0.
[04:23] ---
    Yanagi's amazing!
[04:25] ---
    While on the medical team,
[04:27] ---
    Renji still collected data on the other
    teams and never missed a day of practice.
[04:33] ---
    But...
[04:34] ---
    They have terrible teamwork.
[04:36] ---
    Nice, Yanagi.
[04:40] ---
    Yanagi...
[04:42] ---
    I will never forgive you.
[04:46] ---
    It's true that even after starting
    high school, I kept ditching practice.
[04:53] ---
    Mori, you sure you don't
    have to go to practice?
[04:57] ---
    Aren't the individuals for
    the Kanto Tournament soon?
[05:00] ---
    You're not supposed to
    force yourself to practice.
[05:02] ---
    "RabbiDog Stamp Rally"
    "○△ Shopping District"
[05:02] ---
    You practice when you feel like it.
[05:04] ---
    But tennis wasn't so easy.
[05:09] ---
    In the first round of Kanto, I got crushed
    for the first time in my life.
[05:15] ---
    Game and match,
    Hyotei Academy's Tsukimitsu Ochi. 6-0.
[05:21] ---
    You hear that Mori lost
    in the first round?
[05:23] ---
    He's talented so they
    make exceptions for him.
[05:26] ---
    I'm not surprised since he always ditches.
[05:28] ---
    He had it coming.
[05:33] ---
    --Ouch!
    --This injury is from today's match?
[05:37] ---
    Yeah.
[05:38] ---
    Give it three weeks,
    and you'll be back on the court.
[05:41] ---
    It's nothing serious.
[05:43] ---
    I've had it with tennis.
[05:46] ---
    That was when I saw him
    at the hospital's rehab room.
[05:52] ---
    I knew he'd been hospitalized
    for a serious illness.
[05:56] ---
    But unlike me, he wasn't
    giving up on tennis.
[05:59] ---
    And seeing him doing rehab
    was like a huge wake-up call.
[06:05] ---
    I turned over a new leaf,
    and from then on,
[06:09] ---
    I practiced like crazy, day after day.
[06:18] ---
    In the fall junior tournament,
    I won without losing a single set.
[06:23] ---
    Then I made it onto Team Japan
    for the U-17 World Cup.
[06:28] ---
    So here I am now!
[06:33] ---
    Game, Japan. 5-0.
[06:36] ---
    One more game. Let's get 'em!
[06:47] ---
    Well? Think you can do it?
[06:49] ---
    Yes!
[07:01] ---
    Did Mori get that for me?
[07:04] ---
    A fairy would bring you sports drinks?!
[07:07] ---
    Yeah. After rehab each day, there's
    a cold sports drink waiting for me.
[07:13] ---
    I never got one.
[07:15] ---
    This is new to me.
[07:16] ---
    D-Do you think it was a ghost?!
[07:19] ---
    A cursed drink? Yeah, right.
[07:23] ---
    But it's still strange.
[07:26] ---
    It sounds like one of Nio's pranks to me.
[07:30] ---
    Whoever brought them for me, it feels like
    they're encouraging me to keep at it.
[07:37] ---
    I'd like to meet whoever that fairy is.
[07:41] ---
    Could the fairy that left sports drinks
    for Seiichi each day
[07:46] ---
    while he was in rehab...
[07:50] ---
    Say, Yanagi.
[07:52] ---
    Your usual doubles style works best
    when you can direct your partner, right?
[07:59] ---
    Like how you directed
    that kid with the red eyes.
[08:07] ---
    Mori, you watched over Seiichi
    while he was undergoing rehab?
[08:14] ---
    But I treated you...
[08:18] ---
    I'm sorry, Mori. I--
[08:22] ---
    That's enough talk.
[08:27] ---
    Come on, it's set point.
[08:29] ---
    Stay relaxed and let's go.
[08:30] ---
    Yes, sir.
[08:40] ---
    Mori...
[08:57] ---
    Oh? Those two made up.
[09:01] ---
    Japan is leading 5-0 against
    France, No. 3 in the world.
[09:07] ---
    They purposely give the opponent
    a five-game lead to let
[09:09] ---
    Jonathan gather data.
[09:12] ---
    Then make a sudden turnaround
    to flaunt their difference in skill.
[09:19] ---
    It's showtime at Theatre Edgar.
[09:35] ---
    15-0.
[09:37] ---
    For an instant,
    I glimpsed a bird-like object.
[09:40] ---
    Yanagi, next one's coming!
[09:48] ---
    Now a snake?
[09:50] ---
    30-0.
[09:55] ---
    A wolf?!
[09:58] ---
    And a leopard!
[10:00] ---
    Game, France. 1-5.
[10:06] ---
    Hey, Edgar! I said to do a cheetah!
[10:10] ---
    That was a cheetah.
[10:12] ---
    No, it was a leopard!
    It was lacking eleganc--
[10:15] ---
    Edgar Delacroix. He's known as
    the artist of the court.
[10:20] ---
    An artist?
[10:21] ---
    I'm certain that his Art Tennis
    is supported by the data
[10:26] ---
    that Jonathan gathered
    in the first five games.
[10:30] ---
    Oh? It did seem like
    more than a simple trick.
[10:34] ---
    For Renji, the Data Man,
    to be beaten at his own game...
[10:39] ---
    Game, France. 5-5.
[10:43] ---
    Don't let his shots throw you off, Yanagi!
[10:46] ---
    Pull through with your own tennis style!
[10:48] ---
    Yes, sir! Cicada Shell!
[10:54] ---
    Now he drew the Arc de Triomphe!
[10:58] ---
    Game, France. 7-5.
[11:02] ---
    I can't believe they came
    from behind from 5-0.
[11:05] ---
    Shoot, that's some explosive power.
[11:08] ---
    Edgar Delacroix's Art Tennis...
[11:11] ---
    It's only possible because of
    Jonathan Saint Georges,
[11:15] ---
    who can easily steal our data
    and convey it to Edgar.
[11:21] ---
    Mori.
[11:23] ---
    As a member of Team Japan
    and Counselor of Rikkai's tennis club,
[11:27] ---
    I, Renji Yanagi, will not lose this match.
[11:32] ---
    All right, I'll leave
    the data collection to you.
[11:36] ---
    I'll take a nap.
[11:37] ---
    What?! Why is he sleeping
    during the match?!
[11:45] ---
    It's been a while since
    I've seen you go all out.
[11:50] ---
    Japan's Yanagi to serve.
[11:57] ---
    Edgar, Edgar!
[11:59] ---
    He's fallen asleep on his feet!
    During the match!
[12:02] ---
    What is he doing?!
[12:05] ---
    Watch closely, you all.
[12:06] ---
    This is the guy who's
    ranked No. 10 on Team Japan...
[12:13] ---
    ...at full power!
[12:14] ---
    I'll just wake you up
    with this shot, then!
[12:24] ---
    15-0.
[12:27] ---
    Hm, a fine return. But...
[12:30] ---
    ...my Art Tennis has infinite genres!
[12:33] ---
    I'll draw something you're weak to.
[12:40] ---
    30-0.
[12:42] ---
    40-0.
[12:44] ---
    Game, Japan. 1-0.
[12:46] ---
    Wow.
[12:48] ---
    He's defeating Edgar's
    Art Tennis shots one after another.
[12:53] ---
    You could say it's like being in the zone.
[12:56] ---
    Being in the zone puts you in
    a state of heightened focus.
[12:59] ---
    You're instantly aware of
    your foe's actions and shots
[13:02] ---
    so you can return shots on intuition.
[13:05] ---
    So what he's doing is similar to that.
[13:09] ---
    But the coaches were shocked
    when they studied his brain waves.
[13:13] ---
    They're similar to those of
    someone in a deep sleep.
[13:17] ---
    So he's actually asleep?!
[13:20] ---
    When sleeping, you have no stray thoughts.
[13:25] ---
    You can be in a natural state
    of maximum focus.
[13:28] ---
    And he can reach that state
    unaided within a few seconds.
[13:33] ---
    Next year, how many of you third year
    middle schoolers will make the Genius 10?
[13:39] ---
    Jusaburo Mori. His talent will be
    a huge part of next year's Team Japan.
[13:44] ---
    Oh? He's pretty good.
[13:48] ---
    Game, Japan. 2-0.
[13:52] ---
    So Japan does have someone
    of mettle on their team.
[13:55] ---
    We can't afford to let them have
    a five-game lead like earlier.
[14:00] ---
    Hey, Jonathan.
[14:02] ---
    Having trouble collecting his data?
[14:04] ---
    Yes, sorry. I couldn't possibly
    get data on a sleeping--
[14:11] ---
    Then I'll just have to
    paint up your face, too.
[14:16] ---
    Er, I'd rather not,
    but it's for Team France.
[14:20] ---
    Edgar, please make me look cool.
[14:23] ---
    Quiet. Stop moving.
[14:27] ---
    Hey, you.
[14:29] ---
    If you're a Data Man,
    try to take some of my data!
[14:33] ---
    His personality changed!
[14:37] ---
    Come on, is that all
    you've got, Data Man?
[14:40] ---
    He's playing with
    a completely different style!
[14:43] ---
    His painting is a type of hypnosis.
[14:46] ---
    Because Jonathan fully trusts Edgar, he
    falls under Edgar's artistic magic spell.
[14:54] ---
    Renji knew about Edgar's Art Tennis
    before the match.
[15:00] ---
    Renji should have been able to gather
    considerable data on it in the first set.
[15:05] ---
    But now he's painted on his partner, too.
[15:08] ---
    Yes, he never did that in the prelims,
[15:12] ---
    so Renji most likely didn't foresee it.
[15:14] ---
    It must feel like playing
    someone completely different.
[15:17] ---
    So he's got to collect his data
    from scratch? That's annoying.
[15:23] ---
    Yahoo!
[15:27] ---
    In order to take the world, France had
    a plan like this up their sleeves?
[15:34] ---
    That return has an angle of incidence
    of 32--no 33 degrees, speed of 145 km.
[15:42] ---
    Mori's plays are allowing Renji
    to focus on gathering data.
[15:46] ---
    That's more like it, Yanagi! There's
    no way you'd lose with your Data Tennis!
[15:52] ---
    Game, France. 5-4.
[15:57] ---
    We've got to win the next game.
[15:59] ---
    Yanagi, did you get enough data?
[16:01] ---
    --Yes.
    --Hey, there.
[16:04] ---
    You think you've gathered
    our data? It's useless.
[16:11] ---
    I can paint my marionette any color!
[16:15] ---
    Too bad. You'll have
    to start from scratch--
[16:19] ---
    Who said he was getting your data?
[16:23] ---
    Yanagi wasn't gathering your data.
[16:29] ---
    He was getting mine!
[16:32] ---
    Your usual doubles style works best
    when you can direct your partner, right?
[16:39] ---
    N-No way!
[16:42] ---
    Asleep, he moved irregularly
    and purely on instinct!
[16:46] ---
    He could collect data on him?!
[16:48] ---
    Whatever the situation,
    there's no data he cannot collect.
[16:53] ---
    He's the Data Man, Renji Yanagi.
[16:57] ---
    A return dash? Not good enough!
[17:02] ---
    Jonathan, hide your movements!
[17:04] ---
    You're so hard on me.
[17:07] ---
    You'll go to the middle
    to limit my volleying options.
[17:12] ---
    Seems I was right.
[17:22] ---
    15-0.
[17:26] ---
    Mori.
[17:28] ---
    Your best return position
    is forward 4.06 mm.
[17:32] ---
    Oops, my bad.
[17:36] ---
    Their doubles play
    is perfectly synchronized.
[17:39] ---
    All right, time to close in on them!
[17:45] ---
    Game, Japan. 7-5.
[17:49] ---
    Set count, 1-1.
[17:51] ---
    Yeah! We caught up!
[17:55] ---
    Interesting. The Data Man kid is starting
    to successfully direct that high schooler.
[18:03] ---
    Should we mix things up?
[18:06] ---
    Please, paint me a different color, Edgar.
[18:10] ---
    I know, you don't have to tell me.
[18:14] ---
    You're my ultimate masterpiece.
[18:17] ---
    Game, France. 1-0.
[18:21] ---
    2-0.
[18:23] ---
    3-0.
[18:26] ---
    4-0.
[18:28] ---
    This is why we're out of your league.
[18:32] ---
    Game, France. 5-0.
[18:44] ---
    Sorry, but you're not
    going to beat us this time.
[18:49] ---
    Edgar, something is off.
[18:53] ---
    That Data Man is playing passively.
    It's not his usual style.
[18:59] ---
    Is he giving us a taste
    of our own medicine?
[19:03] ---
    Did he completely analyze us during those
    five games just like we did in the first set?
[19:08] ---
    No matter how your personality changes,
    your innate ability remains unchanged.
[19:12] ---
    If I compile the data of your shots
    and spin direction, etc.,
[19:15] ---
    then apply them to each personality,
    I can calculate the position of return.
[19:20] ---
    I have all the data I need.
[19:24] ---
    Nice placement.
[19:25] ---
    Hey, you're forgetting one thing.
[19:30] ---
    He switched personalities, but he was
    still gathering your data all the while.
[19:36] ---
    0-15.
[19:39] ---
    0-30.
[19:43] ---
    0-40.
[19:44] ---
    I didn't need the sleepyhead's data.
[19:48] ---
    I needed the one giving directions...
[19:50] ---
    --...the Data Man's data!
    --"...the Data Man's data!"
[19:52] ---
    I thought you'd say that.
[19:57] ---
    15-40.
[19:59] ---
    Did you think that I'd let you
    gather my data so easily?
[20:04] ---
    So all the data I've collected is fake?
[20:09] ---
    Don't underestimate
    the Rikkai champions' Counselor now.
[20:13] ---
    That's Yanagi for you!
[20:15] ---
    But he purposely gave them a five-game
    lead. That's a daring plan for Renji.
[20:22] ---
    Yanagi.
[20:24] ---
    You go on about being
    part of Rikkai's big three,
[20:27] ---
    but aren't you a little cocky
    for being third best?
[20:31] ---
    If anything, you should
    aim for the very top!
[20:42] ---
    Catch up to us if you can!
[21:04] ---
    Game and match, Japan. 7-5.
[21:09] ---
    Game set. Won by Japan.
[21:12] ---
    Yanagi and Mori won!
[21:14] ---
    One win against France!
[21:19] ---
    Nice game...
[21:21] ---
    ...Mister Fairy.
[21:23] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[21:26] ---
    --Dunno what that is.
    --"Dunno what that is."
[21:27] ---
    I thought you'd say that.
[23:10] ---
    #3 singles.
[23:11] ---
    France is sending out that
    horseback tennis prince?
[23:14] ---
    Then Team Japan's Ryoma Echizen is up.
[23:18] ---
    "Prince of Ace"
[23:19] ---
    Next time,
    "Prince of Ace."
[23:21] ---
    Whether we're on horseback or on
    the court, I won't lose a tennis match.
[23:24] ---
    "The Prince of Tennis II
    U-17 World Cup
    Extra Segment"
[23:25] ---
    Edgar, Edgar! It's our character song!
[23:25] ---
    "'Avant-garde'
    Edgar Delacroix, Jonathan Saint Georges"
[23:28] ---
    Yeah, it's my ultimate masterpiece.
[23:29] ---
    The lyrics and music are so cool,
    it gets me amped up!
[23:32] ---
    Yeah, it's my ultimate masterpiece!
[23:34] ---
    I bet you wanted to write
    the song and lyrics though, huh?
[23:37] ---
    You didn't need to say that!
[23:38] ---
    Owwie!
[23:39] ---
    
[23:41] ---
