Character U-17 Losers - Who is coming back?

[Sherlock Holmes]

Assuming that the losers might get a chance to comeback...Who would come back? As of now, the losers are:

1)Gakuto(Lost to Oshitari 7-0)
2)Yagyuu(Lost to Niou disguised as Yagyuu)
2)Niou(Lost to Yagyuu 8-6)
3)Oishi(Lost to Eiji 7-4)

Spoiler

4)Shinji(Lost to Kamio 7-5)
5)Richard(Lost to Krauser 7-0 and died for our sins)
6)Sanada(Lost to Yukimura 7-1)

My guesses:

1)No. Just no. Gakuto doesn't deserve to stay. 7-0.
2)Niou's trickery might be useful in a tournament against stronger opponents. Besides, his match was close...So I would say keep him.
3)Oishi showed leadership after telling Eiji to beat him. The camp needs doubles specialists. Keep him.
4)The match was close....So keep him.
5)HA.HA.HA.HA.HA.HA.HA.H.A.HA
6)HELL YEAH. Bring Mr.Spammer back! He's too awesome to be sent home.

It still hasn't been confirmed yet. Krauser still might lose to Richard.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

It still hasn't been confirmed yet. Krauser still might lose to Richard.

Both Spoilers say that Krauser beats Richard. The "Richard wins" thing from before was that someone misinterpreted the way the spoiler was written(something like "Richard gets 7-0d" was interpreted as "Richard wins 7-0") so I assume it's confirmed.

Well, let's assume that it's true...Or discuss only the first 3 losers then until the raw comes out(When does it come out?)

Gakuto- No, just no.
Niou-Yes, just yes.
Oishi-Yeah, he might be useful.

I figure they might all stick around, but a lot of them will probably just be stuck on lower courts without much to do. Or maybe not. Who knows?

Niou and Sanada will definitely stick around, along with Shinji, and I can maybe see Oishi playing some role. Gakuto is pretty much a useless character, and the same goes for Richard. I don't know exactly what they would do.

 

[Sai]

Sherlock, I'll let it go this once, but please don't discuss spoilers outside of the spoiler thread until the actual chapter is confirmed.

---

As for my beliefs, I know Sanada is coming back for sure.

Spoiler

No reason to give him that black aura upgrade otherwise

I would like Oishi to come back just to have the Golden Pair. Despite how boring he is, He's the leadership in that doubles team.

Niou would be interesting to see come back, but not necessary imo.

I would prefer Shinji to Kamio, but this decision doesn't matter in the long run.

Richard's a complete tool, kick him out just because

With Kikumaru there, no point for Gakuto either, hell with Kintarou almost guaranteed to win, definitely no point since Kin-chan is hell of a lot more acrobatic.

Hmm... I wonder if Konomi-sensei is going to play this by ear? If he gets enough fanmail begging for a certain character to come back, maybe he can be persuaded?
If so, I'm definitely going to crank up the presses. Richard needs resurrecting! *dodges tomatoes*

Gakuto is gone; he barely got screentime. Niou being a fangirl favourite has a chance. The mental coach showed interest in Oishi so maybe... And Sanada is going to be a big part of the series imho. I'm not sure about Shinji — it must be tiring for a mangaka to come up with all his mutterings (but fun too!).

I'm kidding about Richard of course. Unsportsmanlike behaviour is not something to be rewarded. Err... Crucifixion is pretty extreme as well, but there's a difference! ;o)

Ah! Sorry Sai. It's just that everyone that usually posts in this forum posted on the spoiler thread, so I forgot for a second that some people don't like spoilers/

 

[javimgol]

Sanada of course, Prince of tennis needs him.
I would like (and I think they could very useful) Oishi and Nioh (but maybe only because they are two of my favorites players).
And if we follow the color spread theory, Shinji.
And please,Konomi, don´t bring back cancers like Gakutoh or Sakata. They are just a waste of ink

 

[JyAZ]

Maybe Konomi will have a reader's poll to bring back the characters the fans want... It's 99.9% improbable, but it would be cool if it happened.

 

[Atobe the king]

Even if he did it wouldn't be for the japanese fans...sometimes i think we forget were not actually the target audience of these manga.

 

[Ravsieg]

If you ask me, everyone will be called back as this is going to be just meant to be a mental test.

Of course, for Konomi it'll be a nice way of providing interesting matchups.
