i wonder why he has that bandage around his left arm. in many instances (to threaten kintarou) i've seen him removing it halfway but never saw him removing the whole thing.

Well he says that the arm is poisonous, but I don't believe that. At the end of ova 15 you see that the bandage is kind of messed up and the skin underneath seems fine. In many anime some characters just wear bandages for no reason, especially in marshal arts anime. As a side note I love Shiraishi's play style it's the most realistic one I've seen on PoT so far.

eh well yeah true it's quite innocent of kintarou to think that that arm is poisonous -_- but i dont think so :] yeah it could probably just be for deco or a habit since many other players have them as well (ryoma's cap, kaidoh's bandana etc)
um if i'm not wrong shiraishi's the one who plays "perfect tennis" right. yeah it's quite down to earth

Well at first I thought he might have burned his arm thus making it "poisonous", but later after seeing ova 15, I knew that was out of the question since the arm didn't look burned at all. And yeah Perfect tennis might seem out of the question but a player devoid of weak spots isn't, actually when I saw Shiraishi play I thought his tennis resembled a lot of roger federer.

well roger federer cant play on clay. but that isnt for this board, but come to think of it, prince of tennis has been showing all matches on clay
well the bandage could just be a habit like kaidoh's bandana. or there could be a reason but we wont get to find out since they manga's already ending (i think...)

Was it always on clay? I thought that the courts varied from time to time. Isn't the national tournament played on grass? And the courts they use in seigaku are hard courts I think. Besides if the court was clay you would notice because the inside would be grenn while the outside a reddish color.

well, kintarou WAS the one who was convinced Echizen was like a three-eyed monster or something right? so you can't exactly take his word for it can you?(much as i <3 kintarou, he isn't a very reliable source  ) The bandage is probably just for grip or something like that, unless it's for an injury |

so is kintarou is stronger than shiraishi i remember reading it in the manga when shiraishi said he is the strongest of our group because of his exhaustible of psychical strength and wild nature

shiraishi- sorry sorry, i mean all matches have been played on hard court -____-
ahh i think the national tournament is played on hard court as well.
tezuka- yeah they did mention kintarou was the strongest. but his thoughts are a bit immature- like shiraishik said, he was convinced echizen had 3 eyes, poisonous gas flowing from his fingers and was a monster. i dont think the bandage was a grip though, it didnt even reach his hand, it was just on his arm.

Well the national was definitely grass though, remember when Shiraishi made the drop shot to win the first point? If it was hard court the ball would definitely have bounced high enough for fuji to reach it (After all he was really close to the net I think he was a little in front of the service line), I think Shiraishi took advantage of the low bounce that's produced on grass.

i wonder why they didn't show shiraishi unamed technique in the anime.

Are you talking about the time he hit the ball with the side of his racket?

yes and it flew like a ring formation

I guess its the same question as "Why does Kikumaru always wear that plaster on his face?" Ever realize it's always on the right hand side?
|
|
|
|
Post by shiraishi on Aug 27, 2007 23:59:13 GMT 7
Yeah but I heard that plastering skin doesn't allow the skin to breathe. So if he would take it off his skin would probably be whiter there.

Post by marui on Aug 28, 2007 1:20:10 GMT 7
LOL! That's probably true XD
I think Shiraishi only wears it to control Kintarou. He said that only the poisonous hand can get Kintarou to listen.

Post by shiraishi on Aug 28, 2007 3:06:00 GMT 7
yup I guess that's the only reason. It's just to bad we don't get to see him more, he really had some potential as a character.

Post by marui on Aug 28, 2007 3:17:51 GMT 7
Yeah true. As a matter of fact I think that all Shitenhouji characters were well developed. Too bad we didn't get to see them that much. I don't think Konomi even invented Shitenhouji when the manga first began. They're definitely more popular than St Rudolph, and we've known them longer. Even Chitose' little sister has a 'sort of' important role.

I like Chitose's sister  and yeah her role was very important. Well most likely Tezuka would've gotten over the fips or whatever it was called eventually but she helped him with that which sped up his return to help the team in the nationals. |

Post by marui on Aug 28, 2007 19:29:15 GMT 7
I like Chitose's sister Hehe, I think we'd better stop calling her "Chitose's little sister" before she turns out like Yuuta XD |

Post by genichirou on Aug 28, 2007 20:00:26 GMT 7
haha yeah- but i expected more from chitose though. it seems he's even weaker than shiraishi
|
|
|
|
Post by shiraishik on Aug 28, 2007 21:15:06 GMT 7
i think shitenhouji is by far the most realistic team, right? Not too many completely-out-of-this-world occurances (besides Kintarou running cross country in like 30 seconds)
|
|
|
|
Post by tezuka on Aug 28, 2007 21:18:49 GMT 7
so that makes kintarou the strongest and shiraishi the second strongest. so chitose would be third

Post by tezuka on Aug 28, 2007 21:20:58 GMT 7
shiraishi tennis you can do because he just does regular moves. expect for that unnamed move that they didn't show in the anime.

Post by marui on Aug 28, 2007 23:57:49 GMT 7
Hmm... Ecstasy.
But how do you know Shiraishi's better than Chitose?
|
|
|
|
Post by whisper on Aug 29, 2007 6:39:45 GMT 7
Ahh, i'm interested as to why you think Shiraishi is better than Chitose? If you ask me it goes something like, Fuji is to Tezuka as Shiraishi is to Chitose.
|

Post by shiraishi on Aug 29, 2007 7:53:35 GMT 7
well we can't be sure here but even without any great moves shiraishi can win a game, and it's kind of funny because at first I thought that he would at least know muga no kyuochi since like fuji said he is the calmest opponent he ever faced. However as captain I think that he's still not better than Chitose; or he wouldn't have told chitose they would have no worries as long as he could stand up to tezuka.

If only Tezuka lost to Chitose... (yeah I know, here I am again with my Kintarou - Echizen thing).
But I think, with little or no logic at all, this is HOW Shiraishi is better than Chitose:
Tezuka> Fuji
Tezuka> Chitose
Fuji = Chitose
Shiraishi > Fuji
Therefore Shirashi> Chitose
Make sense to anyone?

Post by genichirou on Aug 29, 2007 19:48:03 GMT 7
um. i think chitose if stronger than both fuji and shiraishi
- he can unlock PoW
- he was matched against tezuka, who was considered to be the strongest in seigaku. thus, he was probably the strongest in shitenhouji

Post by marui on Aug 30, 2007 1:27:54 GMT 7
- he was matched against tezuka Oh yeah! He was matched against Tezuka, PoW=PoHW, until Tezuka also unlocked PoW, PoW+PoHW > PoW. =) |
