when he went to all the schools and challenged everyone why didn't he go to Rikkai Dai do you think he would have beaten everyone there

I didn't like that arch, well one big reason was because of what they did to Kiriahara's character.
But anyway, if he had gone to Rikkai Dai he would've gotten destroyed. He probably knew of their awesome power and didn't go there purposely.
Heck, he was having trouble with an injured Kirihara.

Perhaps he just didn't know? Maybe they didn't have enough screen time? But I don't think he purposely avoided Rikkaidai. Perhaps he was going there before akutsu challenged him and then Ryoma showed up so he didn't need to search anymore. But if he did go there I think renji would have beaten him.

i think that kevin smitch arc was just a filler- it wasnt in the manga right? but it was mentioned that he was seeking for strong opponents- so why didnt he go to rikkaidai?
well if he went geni would have beaten him if renji had not already done so :]

Yeah, Kevin Smith was just a filler.
I didn't like it at all. Especially what they did to Kirihara and the Phantom Ball. Thought it was a bit out-of-place, them playing the American guys.
Either way, any Rikkai regular would've beat the heck out of him no time.

well, not Genichirou, Renji or Kirihara cause they were at the camp, but Kevin wouldn't stand a chance against the other regulars. Specially if Yukimura were there (if he wasn't still healing from his surgery)

Huh? Why can't Sanada, Renji or Kirihara beat him? Because they were at the camp? O.o I'm confused. He was struggling over an injured Kirihara, why not Renji or Sanada? Besides, if he can beat Sanada, then the other Rikkai regulars are out of the question, unless of course, like you pointed out, it's Yukimura.

i wonder if yukimura was there and if kevin came there. he wouldn't let him attack his members like that

This just brings up an interesting question why didn't kevin just go to the junior camp where ryoma was, didn't arai tell him where he was?

Post by tezuka on Aug 29, 2007 7:57:22 GMT 7
i don't he said was ryoma was away
|

Post by shiraishi on Aug 29, 2007 8:11:00 GMT 7
still he should at least have known after all he was going to face japan's team. Didn't he at least think that ryoma was at the camp?

i'm sorry Marui!!! i din't mean to counfuse anyone. What i meant was, when Kevin was going around and beating ppl up at schools, Kirihara, Sanada, and Renji were at the camp. I didn't mean they couldn't beat him, i meant that they weren't at Rikkai Dai to beat him. Kevin wouldn't stand a chance against Sanada or Renji

Oooh now I get it!! Hehe it's okay, I misunderstood you ^^" But yeah, I get what you mean.
I think this whole Kevin Smith thing was just... Unnecessary. I didn't enjoy this arc at all.

I don't like Kevin Smith, i just thought it was cool bringing all these players together to be on the same team XD But they i agree that they shouldn't have changed Kirihara, that will only make it confusing in the OVAs where he's still a devil. And, of course, i enjoyed the song at Tezuka's party by PullTab to Kan (Atobe, Sanada, Oshitari, Kirihara, Shinji, Kamio and Sengoku)
~Wonderful Days~

i don't like Kevin at first. what for he went to schools beating all the weak ones up? don't he only aim to beat Ryoma? what if he lost the match with anyone (examples : yukimura, sanada, renji, etc..) before he plays with Ryoma? will he just give up? i enjoyed the song at Tezuka's party by PullTab to Kan (Atobe, Sanada, Onutsari, Kirihara, Shinji, Kamio and Sengoku) i enjoyed the song too. and the act that the others put up, inui magic juice(should i say this is the name i make? heh..), oishi nininbaori is funny and syuusuke's act(don't know what i should call it) is interesting. not many people can do it right? is that another reason why he's called the prodigy?

Well I'm guessing the only reason they put Kevin was for Ryoma to have a buddy in the US for when he went there. And remember when Kevin told ryoma to slap him for him hitting him I think Ryoma should have slapped him.

Kevin's face was annoying to me xD And the whole An - Kirihara thing got on my nerves And I still can't get over the fact that they made Rikkai seem so weak. Oh and anybody else disliked Jyosei Shonan's coach? To me she was kinda freaky... But apart from all that, I agree with shiraishik. I liked how they brought all the players together on the same team. Also, they were all playing for Japan, so it's something golden to remember.

The Jyosei coach is definetly...unique... I think she goes a little too far with the chibis (she has chibi versions of the Jyosei players attached to her cell phone, check out ep 102, when she's calling Kajimoto) and I don't think she likes the Kisarazu brothers, she yelled at them at least twice. Overall, she's kinda creepy...

Haha, you seem to know A LOT about her huh, ever her cellphone... And who are the Kisarazu brothers? =S

Post by shiraishi on Aug 30, 2007 6:41:25 GMT 7
Well yes it was a golden thing to remember but the main reason they probably put the kevin smith arc was to give a basis for Ryoma being in the US Open.

the jyosei coach is hanamura isnt she? i hate her when she call the players as the "masterpiece" that makes them seemed to be created by her -_-" the kizarazu brothers are the twin, one wearing hat(ryou)and another wearing red headband(atsushi)

Haha, you seem to know A LOT about her huh, ever her cellphone... -Hey wait,...WHAT are you implying?!?! The Kisarazu brothers are twins, one goes to Rokkaku (but i don't think he played in the Semifinals) and the other goes to St. Rudolph (he's the guy with the headband, like Syuusuke said, when the played Seigaku Atsushi was paired with Yanagisawa *the one who says "dane" all the time* against Kaidoh/Momo pair

um back on topic- kevin smith was just a filler but quite a good one compared to those in other animes. well i think konomi just had to think of a filler and thought up this one.

Well the whole kevin smith thing was just another continuation of the match inui played with ryoma. Honestly did Kevin think that by playing like ryoma he could actually beat ryoma? well the only great part with him is when he used that illusion trick. Oh and by the way is Kevin a stalker? How on earth did he get video tapes of ryoma's matches?

Post by marui on Aug 31, 2007 2:36:02 GMT 7
How on earth did Inui get Kirihara -Tachibana's tape?
Kevin Smith was a weird guy... He spoke as if he only lives to defeat Ryoma. That's what I thought with Ryoma at first, 'cuz he was saying that he really wanted to defeat one guy, and that's his dad, Nanjiroh.

Post by shiraishi on Aug 31, 2007 7:11:40 GMT 7
Yeah but then we realize Kevin's real potential he strives to become better and not a drunkard like his father. Well Inui got the tape frome tachibana's little sis but how did kevin who was in the US get tapes from japan? Oh and didn't kevin unlock Muga no Kyochi?

eh. did he? then i need to look at the anime again. it's been some time since i saw that episode.

Post by marui on Sept 4, 2007 21:43:01 GMT 7
Yeah, I don't remember if Kevin achieved Muga no Kyochi. It's been like a year since I last saw the anime episodes... I prefer reading the manga over and over again though XD

Post by hakuryu on Sept 5, 2007 3:58:14 GMT 7
I'm not sure if it was Muga no Kyouchi cause it wasnt the same animation as in the OVA's, but kevin did hit other people's shots like kirihara's phantom ball and higuma otoshi
