Yagyuu the poet

Lesser known tenifacts #9

Today's tenifact is from Rikkai, again, for no other reason than there just is a lot of material. Thank you for enjoying tenifacts!

A poem by the tennis club's Yagyu Hiroshi was published in Rikkai's "report on student activities". This is it:

What drops down (こぼれ落ちろもの) looking up to the sky through my lenses how many times has the sky cried the tears we call rain caught between my true and my fake self how many times have I smeared my cheeks --- but I happened upon the greatest of friends together with them, I spread my wings now, my sky is as clear as it ever was --- the tears I shed back then have already become mere memories

Poetry is hard, and so is a tennis ball when it hits you in the face. Don't get careless! Today's tenifact from page 97.

PS: I translated an essay that Yukimura Seiichi wrote (that was published next to Yagyu's poem) in #6 of tenifacts.

QP: (about Fuji) Whatever happened to that kid? He’s like a wholly different player.

QP: He must‘ve gone through something traumatic to completely change his play style like that.

QP: What in the world happened to him?

Tezuka: ...

Marui never played singles match during nationals arc in 3rd year!! Makes sense given he’s a doubles player with jackal but wowwwww

Lesser known tenifacts #5

More Rikkai tenifacts! Garanteed to be less interesting then yesterday's tenifacts!

In the National quarterfinals, Rikkai's lineup had Yanagi-Kuwahara pair in doubles 2 and Marui in singles 1.

Neither played because Rikkai won in 3 straight sets against Kabuto.

This makes Marui the only Rikkai regular who hasn't played a singles match during Nationals (Kuwahara played S3 against Murigaoka).

Today's tenifacts are from page 90 of the fanbook.

10000000% agree, especially now that I’m older, manga canon doesn’t really contribute to the very overly down fanon characterization of sadistic Fuji. I love the jokes, but the excessive nature now isn’t my personal cup of tea.

“Fuji, I’ve always been grateful to you since our first year of middle school. Thank you for supporting us, and Seigaku.”

- Tezuka Kunimitsu, Pair Puri vol. 10

If these words were said by anyone other than Tezuka, I would’ve called it a mere pleasantry. But this is Tezuka, and he’s talking to Fuji. Theirs is a relationship of things unsaid; I can’t see them wasting words on pleasantries. So, seeing this quote makes me rethink how I perceive the two of them. I’ve always assumed that it’s Tezuka doing Fuji the favor, inciting him out of his apathy, but here Tezuka seems to imply that it was Fuji who cast off his own apathy for his team.

Several days and countless theories later, I have a new character interpretation/headcanon/rambling/almost-fic/essay/something about Fuji’s arc, and why Tezuka succeeded in driving him, in the end.

In fanon, Fuji is portrayed with a careless, mischievous, devil-may-care attitude. What’s surprising is that some portray him as kind of… manipulative and sadistic, in the literal sense of the word. It’s ironic because when you think about it, Fuji has consistently shown that he cares for people over tennis. He forfeits a game because of Kawamura’s wrist, he humiliates Mizuki because Mizuki puts tennis over Yuuta’s wellbeing, he goes all-out against Jirou because Jirou embarrassed Yuuta, he wants to teach Akaya a lesson because Akaya hurt Echizen. Fuji only cares about winning when the people he loves are involved–otherwise, tennis is just fun and games. Tezuka, I think, understands this perfectly.

I think this is why in the end, Fuji only finds his motivation after Tezuka gets hurt in the match against Atobe. In that match, Fuji sees that if someone doesn’t step up soon, Tezuka will put himself on the line again and again to ensure Seigaku’s victory. And because Fuji can’t stand to see the people he cares about hurt, he decides to step up–and so does Ryoma, albeit for different reasons.

Let’s talk about Ryoma for a second. Unlike Fuji, Tezuka and Ryoma are kindred souls. They both know what it is to put everything on the line for victory. Tezuka has seen how Ryoma behaves when he’s pushed to his limits, he’s seen Ryoma hurt, and he’s seen Ryoma persevere and win despite an injury. He sees himself in Ryoma, and so when Ryoma demands that Tezuka hand over the responsibility of being a pillar, it’s very easy for Tezuka to concede. Indeed, for the rest of Nationals, it’s Ryoma who plays in Singles 1, while Tezuka relegates himself to less pivotal positions.

Fuji, though. Tezuka has asked Fuji to step up before, and Fuji has refused. In fact, he told Tezuka he’d rather get taken out of the regulars. Unlike Ryoma, there are things Fuji still needs to prove to Tezuka, like that even when backed into a corner, he will still fight. Not because someone he loves is hurt, not for revenge, but for nothing else but victory. If he can’t do that, Fuji will never be someone that Tezuka counts on.

Unfortunately, Fuji’s breadth of talent and counter puncher playstyle means that Fuji has fewer opportunities to prove himself. As a counter puncher, Fuji wins by finding flaws, taking advantage of the opponents’ mistakes to unleash his counters and take points. The passive nature of his playstyle means that Fuji’s performance can only be as good as his opponents’ abilities. Without great opponents, Fuji can’t shine.

Then along comes Shiraishi with his perfect, flawless tennis. The absolute worst opponent a counter puncher can ever dream of. Honestly, one has to wonder what Ryuuzaki-sensei was thinking, because pitting any counter puncher against Shiraishi is a critical mistake. Based on Tezuka’s reactions during this match, I think he knows this, too.

Fortunately, Fuji is not the same person he was 200 chapters ago. When Shiraishi drives him into a corner, Fuji responds by baring everything he has: his heart, soul, and most importantly, his tennis.

…and then, after all that, he lost.

But in that loss, he proved that like the rest of Seigaku, Fuji can fight for victory and nothing else. He proceeded to come back from a 5-0 lead against a playstyle that’s practically designed to suppress his. He fought to the very last second, and he showed Tezuka, hey, this is the real me. This is everything I have. You can count on me.

At the very next match, Tezuka relegates himself to Singles 3. He puts Fuji in Singles 2 instead.
