**[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] ---**
