Thank you handsome @Friss for the RAWs!

The summary is based on machine-translated content, take it with a grain of salt pls.

395


As Romeo wins the set 6-3, Medanore quotes Goethe: “We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves.”

Fernandez approaches Atobe and tells him his tennis is "cool", but that he’s wasting his own time, as he’s not good enough yet.

Nanjirou, Julio, Silva and Mares give Romeo props and congratulate him. Seda tells him to finish already. Romeo replies that playing against the Japanese is fun.

While Julio explains that Romeo gave away 3 games to ultimately gain the psychological advantage, Ryoga and Medanore agree that the Japanese has mental fortitude as he isn’t broken yet.

The Dorgias are talking to each other. Noah praises Materializar and says Atobe could be crushed at any point. JJ thinks “Little shit, remember… why did you go through so many unbearable difficulties and setbacks?”

Irie approaches Keigo and gives him advice: “From now on, no more eye contact!”. Atobe tries to understand what he meant. At the same time, he wonders why is he so afraid of these 5? Is he afraid of his own weaknesses? But he already has conquered them, and improved on top of it. So why are the shadows so strong? Is HE making them strong?

“Sanada” uses a new move (“Impervious as a sky devoid of lights and clouds” or sth like that idk) and sends Atobe’s racket flying with a hole in it… but the latter smiles, as he now sees possibilities.

396



Flashback of Irie vs Atobe. The former says that Keigo is very good at spotting weaknesses but that it is not enough, he must know both their weaknesses and stregths.

Atobe observes Sanada and does as much. He then tells us how rad Sanada is, his final point is saying how he always comes up with new techniques and keeps his blade sharpened. Once he stops talking about how sick and cool Sanada is… he disappears, and Atobe, who was defending, scores.

Next comes Kite, and the same thing happens. This guy has a strong will: he will try to win no matter what it takes, even at the expense of betraying his friends. Atobe calls him a pain in the ass… and he disappears too. Atobe once again scores with ease.

For Shiraishi, he praises how he stuck with the basics and greatly enhanced them with the Star Bible, and now he’s not afraid of anyone, no matter how strong they are. But that his greatest quality is that he puts his team, particularly the younger players, over himself. It’s this humanity that allows him to grow together with his team.

…in the dumbest way possible, Atobe wins this game.

Irie gives props. Oni and Tokugawa explain that by learning the strength of his opponents, he will easily grasp their strategies and thoughts, and with that he’ll naturally learn their weaknesses.

Atobe tells Romeo to get his ass on the court. The latter replies that there’s 2 shadows left… including the prince of tennis!

Ryoma is receiving... and Atobe easily aces. “Ryoma” smiles.

“Yukimura” gets on the court saying: “Boi, I’m sorry, do you mind if I do it? Atobe, have you ever had your future stolen from you?”


397



“Yukimura”, the child of God, attacks with randomly without any pattern and quickly wins 2 games. Atobe is struggling to read him.

A bit later he starts praising Yukimura (nothing really new). Seiichi's offense has broadened with Mirage Mirror, and he can now steal the future of his opponents. He may look godlike and completely out of this realm, but his principle is pretty basic: attacking weak points in a steady manner.

As Atobe wonders about his future, that is his own and won’t be stolen, he scores and wins the game… and suddenly, he has a premonition about the future.

It’s the WC in Tokyo, 3 years in the future. We see a bunch of reps (from what we see, it’s pretty much the same team as the one we have now but with Akutsu and Yagyuu, and no sight of Marui). Atobe talks to Ryoma and tells him he didn’t get to see his evolution, “what does that mean?”. Ryoma doesn’t reply and instead asks him if he’ll win today. Atobe laughs.

Back in the present, Romeo quotes Nationals’ Atobe in Kabaji vs Tezuka:
"No matter how hard you try, you can't beat yourself. At best, you can draw. Isn't that right?”

“That's right. That's what I said… It's like karma and retribution.” Replies Atobe, as he faces himself.
