Match Akutsu vs Kirihara

[javimgol]

In fact, Nadal defeats them all XD
Well, I don't think we should be angry because Ryoma will always win, this is a shonen. Akutsu was other victim of that fact.
But the fact is that we have only seen 1 match of Akutsu,against Ryoma. Kirihara also played his first match VS Ryoma, but we have seen their matches against Fuji, Krauser and Kaido-Inui too. So I think we don´t have enough arguments to study the evolve of Akutsu

I know, and that is my point. This is just taking the two play-styles and comparing them.

Well, if you are talking about unfair play, you shouldn´t forget about Higa.
In the court I think Kirihara it's more agressive and mad; Akutsu, in the match, was shown as an excellent player, not extremely agressive. He could reach all the balls, was powerful, with good abilities...but he didn´t want to crucify Ryoma like Kirihara did with Krauser
But outside the court, obviously Akutsu it's more dangerous

 

[Fayte]

Outside of the court, Akutsu would literally kill Kirihara. But I don't know, Akutsu is pretty flippin aggressive when he is serious and the guy flies around the court like it's easy.

 

[Atobe the king]

Akutsu would probably own the entire cast except maybe Higa and Sanada outside of the courts.

People tend to forget that he was a martial arts prodigy as well.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

I don't know, I don't think he could own Kenya and Kamio.
It would go like this.

Akutsu: Hello. My name is Akutsu. You killed my boredom. Prepare to die.

*Kamio and Kenya run the hell away from Akutsu*

Akutsu: Damn. They are fast.

 

[Fayte]

They are no match for Akutsu's Princess Bride reference mixed with his net teleport.

The Princess Bride ?

 

[DavenSodan]

Where does it say something about teleport?

 

[Fayte]

Akutsu's net teleport? It's only like one of the most used techniques in the series by Echizen. lol

It's maybe the same move as Higa player has, Shukuchu or sth like that? Higa players and Akutsu are masters in martial arts...

 

[Fayte]

It could be, who knows? But the Shukuchi that the Higa players did were just an illusion. Apparently they were not actually moving that fast, but taking giant leaps at certain moments or however Konomi tried to justify it.

Akutsu however, is actually running that fast.

 

[DavenSodan]

Yeah, but its not teleportation then. Only Sanada can do it, can he?

 

[Atobe the king]

Yeah, but its not teleportation then. Only Sanada can do it, can he?

Sanada and i guess Muga echizen are the only people who can literally teleport around the ring, Akutsu just has Battoujutsu god speed

 

[Fayte]

Yeah, I personally thought Sanada's teleport looked sick in the OVA.

As for Akutsu, I honestly think he is going to be a monster. Remember, it wasn't until he got beat by Echizen, when he started to like tennis. Echizen was the first person to ever beat him, so now he has something to look forward to. An Akutsu who enjoys tennis, how rare a sight it is, will definitely not go unnoticed. I'm just waiting for his 7-0 against Kawamura.

 

[Atobe the king]

Well Konomi brought him back during the nationals, a good sign that he hadn't forgotten about the original devil boy before Akaya stole the name.

He will be a force, back when the played PoT was a little more realisitc but i'd love to see what he can do during this SSj filled PoT.

 

[JyAZ]

I guess Akutsu is in the same boat as Fuji. Both of them don't really try at 100% when they play, so both of them have loads of potential. I will agree. If we see more of Akutsu, he will become crazy high tier.

 

[Atobe the king]

Fuji doesn't do that anymore imo, i think he plays his best now but like Koshimae evolves each match. He realized that holding back wasn't going to win him the nationals.

Every important character had an epiphany, for Inui it was Echizen, for Echizen it was Tezuka, for Sanada it was Echizen etc, after their Epiphony match they stopped screwing around and became much better players/grew to expand on their potential. Shiriahsi was that for Fuji.

Akutsu's one match doubled as his epiphany match, because if he didn't care about tennis...wtf was he doing at the stadium on multiple occasions?

 

[Fayte]

I think it's awesome that Akutsu had a change of heart. Seeing Akutsu curse out that Oni kid in the 2nd chapter made me remember how I felt when (In the fillers) Kirihara (The old A-hole) was verbally owning Kevin (The new A-hole). I was rooting hard for Kirihara.

Akutsu all the way!

 

[Atobe the king]

I like his change of heart as well, similar to the what happened to him in the anime.."Jerkass with a heart of gold" is the trope.
