Koetai jibun no chiheisen 越えたい 自分の地平線
I want to broaden my horizons

To be able to fulfill my true dreams
Arifureta manyuaru ja nai ruuru

Let's reach for the rainbow
Tezuka's Choice
Circle the members you recommend.
I can't eat any more...
Ah... Karupin... Look out!
There! Another dream?
Captain?
Captain.
Echizen. Woke up early.
You too, captain. Why did you wake up so early?
I came to breathe the fresh morning air.
This time of the morning is when I think best.
Is there something worrying you?
You've been playing well lately, as usual.
Not so good.
When you receive such a compliment, let your true feelings come out.
Yes.
But there's one person I've lost to in the past that I still haven't been able to defeat.
As long as that person is in front of me,
unless I fight it,
I cannot evolve.
Echizen. Now you have rivals to face.
But...
There are many strong people in the world.
When you have the opportunity to fight this strong opponent...
...the person who loses focus and doesn't fight seriously...
...has no chance of winning.
Captain.
When the Friendly Tournament is over, play a game with me, please.
It's almost time for people to wake up.
Let's go back.
Today we will do an assessment of everyone's physical state.
And I will use that information when choosing members.
Yes!
I will be chosen whatever the cost!
They are all well motivated, aren't they?
There is? What is this, shorty? You look pretty relaxed.
Well, with Echizen's track record, he will definitely be chosen.
If we don't try our best, we won't be chosen.
Very good! I'll run a few more laps!
Me too!
I can clearly see your weaknesses.
There you go! Burning!
They're all impressive. Your techniques are improving.
They might be getting better, but it looks like we're seeing individual matches.
When pairing up with people who are used to playing single-to-one...
...they're probably assessing each other's abilities to adapt.
There may be two individualists who can play as a team.
If the ball comes close to the net, leave it to me, so Kawamura-san, stay a-
What?
Hey Mamushi!
Boomerang Snake won't work on me! Baby!
Sorry, Kawamura-san. Are you listening to what I'm saying?
Kaidoh-kun.
Yes?
Your game is very monotonous. If you don't vary it a little, your rival will end up anticipating your next game.
Don't talk nonsense in the middle of a match.
Did I say something? If you have something to say, say it out loud.
I can't concentrate. Can you keep quiet?
Sakaki-sensei,
Can I watch this game a bit?
I'm not bothered. Are there any players here that you're interested in?
I just want to see as many of the remaining matches as possible.
Even if they are not in my group, they can be selected as members.
I understand. But you've already made up your mind about the candidates, haven't you, Sensei?
What do you mean by that?
Besides the one named the other day, Kikumaru-kun, there's another...
...that you're interested in, Sensei... the first year of Seigaku.
He will no doubt be nominated by Tezuka-kun.
I understand.
He got much stronger because of his matches in the Kantou Tournament.
I'm looking forward to seeing him play in the Junior Friendly.
Hello.
Ah, Tachibana-san. Sorry for calling you so suddenly.
No problem.
Walking is also part of my rehabilitation.
What happened?
Yes.
The truth is, yesterday, during after-school training...
...a foreigner I had never seen before suddenly appeared at the school.
Tell Ryoma Echizen that Kevin has arrived.
Tell Ryoma... Echizen?
I-Impossible... What incredible destructive power...
I can't believe it's a human...
It wasn't even worth defeating you.
I-Impossible...
If you want to blame someone, let it be Ryoma Echizen.
Oops.
Oh... Oh...
Hey you.
A-Akutsu-san...
What happened here?
N-I don't know! A foreigner suddenly appeared and said, "Play a game".
And was he the one who did all this?
B-But that foreigner is really strong! I had never seen anyone like him in my life.
Damn you...
Does he think he can get away with this so easily? He's underestimating us.
The West Coast of America Friendly Tournament Champion.
An impressive feat.
Ah... Good afternoon.
Ah, Inoue-san.
Sorry for coming when you guys are so busy.
Is Ryoma-kun still trained?
Let me see... it's almost lunchtime, so he should be coming back soon, I think.
I understand.
Ah, you came to interview Ryoma-sama?
No.
There's a member of the US team that I'm very interested in.
I heard that he has some kind of connection with Ryoma-kun.
There is? A connection with Ryoma-sama?
Well, to be more exact, it would be better to say that he actually has a connection with Ryoma-kun's father, Nanjirou Echizen.
Oh, I'm tired. Very tired.
Let's walk soon. I don't want to keep others waiting.
You're right.
It's Tachibana-san. What does he want?
Hello?
Sorry about the middle seat, but there's something I want you to know.
The truth is...
What is it, Kamio-kun?
Kamio and Sengoku-san are taking their time. What are they doing?
It's been about 15 minutes since they went to change.
Why don't we start eating without them?
The rule says we can only eat when all the members are here, so let's wait a little longer.
Ah, looks like they're coming.
They are late! What the hell were they doing?
What it was? Did something happen?
Please listen carefully.
Why all this seriousness?
I just heard some bad news, a certain foreigner is beating all our clubs.
It seems he suddenly challenged them to a match...
...and then gave such a beating that they couldn't even stand up.
Impossible.
Come on... it's a joke, right?
He's trying to scare us...
Also, he said a strange thing.
A strange thing?
"Tell Ryoma Echizen Kevin is waiting."
Is Kevin waiting?
Who is he? Is he someone you know, shorty?
I don't know anyone named Kevin.
Kevin Smith.
Despite being so young, he's the captain of the American team you're up against.
Here it is!
What is this face, Kevin?
We came before the others, so let's enjoy it.
I didn't come to Japan to have fun.
Okay, okay.
You came here to avenge your father, didn't you?
It's not revenge for my father!
Kevin Smith's father, George Smith, and Ryoma-kun's father, Nanjirou Echizen...
...they faced each other only once, a long time ago.
There is? When you say "Nanjirou Echizen", are you talking about that Nanjirou Echizen?
Yes.
I heard about him. He's the famous player called "Nanjirou the Samurai", isn't he?
Echizen's father was a professional?!
Take this!
It's not hard to understand why his son, Kevin Smith, knowing this story...
and hearing about Ryoma-kun's success in tennis, started playing too.
For three years now, my only thought has been to get rid of him.
I became a tennis player and came to this country... to defeat it.
I will not be like my father!
S-Sorry. I got it wrong.
And did you get to see him face to face?
Hurry and appear... and kneel before me, Ryoma Echizen.
Hey Hey! What are you going to do, little one?
It's just me ignoring him, no?
But...
Are you recommending another player, Hanamura-sensei? Oshitari, isn't it?
Yes.
His personality and style of play contrasts with Kikumaru-kun's,
and besides he is the most improved player in this camp.
I understand.
So, Tezuka. Have you decided which members to recommend?
Yes.
I would like to recommend these two players from my group.
He is sure?
Yes.
Oh. Tezuka-kun, you forgot Echizen-kun's name.
No.
This is not the case.
As?
My two recommendations are Sengoku and Kirihara.
A person who doesn't take a game seriously has no chance of winning.

The Junior Friendly Camp is coming to an end, isn't it, Momo-senpai?
It went by pretty quickly, don't you think?
Now we will see if we have been selected as members.
Well, you've certainly been chosen, and I still have a good chance.
I still don't know whether or not I will be chosen.
No, you certainly won't have any problems. But I also want to be chosen!
In the next episode of The Prince of Tennis: The Dream Team is born!
The Dream Team is born!
I've been waiting for this moment!
