Sanada
It was suddenly decided that the tournament between the Away Team from the West Coast of America...
...and the Kantou Junior Team would be anticipated.
A selection camp was held with 28 players.
Several battles for survival took place between the players in the camp.
Finally, the eight members of the Local Team were announced.
Keigo Atobe, from Hyotei Gakuen, 3rd year.
Genichirou Sanada, from Rikkaidai Fuzoku, 3rd year.
Yuushi Oshitari, from Hyotei Gakuen, 3rd year.
Eiji Kikumaru, from Seishun Gakuen, 3rd year.
Serious?
Kiyosumi Sengoku, from Yamabuki, 3rd year.
Akaya Kirihara, from Rikkaidai Fuzoku, 2nd year.
Syuusuke Fuji, from Seishun Gakuen, 3rd year.
And today, finally, the matches between the Junior Team of Kantou and the Visiting Team of the West Coast of America will start.
Today is the day.
Grandma, you would like to go, wouldn't you?
It is clear.
But I know it's impossible.
I will pray from here that they play their matches well.
Well, it's time for me to go...
Animate them for me, okay?
It can leave.
See you later.
Until.
Fast! This way, this way!
You're too slow, senpais!
Why are you in such a hurry?
It's okay if we're a little late for the opening ceremony.
The important thing is the matches.
But there will be a very famous guest at the ceremony!
Yes! The Jellybeans are putting on a mini concert!
It was suddenly announced last night on their official page!
Are you talking about the super famous American idols?
H-Hey, everyone!
Why are you so slow!
A-Hurry up! Let's go!
There will be lots of sponsors watching today's matches, Mr. Baker.
Are you sure there won't be any problems?
Why the concern, Nakamura-san?
They all have outstanding talent, the new generation of world tennis.
They will manage to captivate the hearts of sponsors.
I hope so!
If it goes as planned, we're talking about a $10 million deal.
You can leave it to me.
Shop the Griffey Brothers products here!
Limited offer! The first 100 who buy the Jellybeans cd will receive an autograph from them!
Guys, this is Nakamura-san, the tournament coordinator for today.
Hello everybody.
Nakamura-san has gathered many sponsors, so this tournament is going to be extravagant and exciting.
We have Nakamura-san to thank for this.
Yes boss!
Thank you, Mr. Nakamura!
I look forward to watching your matches!
Well guys. Do you already know who your opponents are?
Yes boss!
It's not the Kantou Junior Team. It's you.
Your future will be decided according to whether or not you are able to capture the hearts of sponsors.
If they don't have the backing of a lot of money, they won't be able to stay at the highest peak in the world.
Yes boss!
Excellent.
My opponent is Ryoma Echizen. Just him.
Thank you very much!
The Jellybeans are too much!
What did you come here for!
How can you say that? You came and even got an autograph, didn't you?
Even though it's a Friendly Game, don't you think it's a bit too much for a competition between students?
Knowing this Baker guy, I'm not surprised he's come this far.
That stuck-up boy who talked about Ryoma-sama at the press conference,
George or something will be here too, won't you?
It's not George, it's Kevin, Tomo-chan.
But what kind of pairs will they use in this tournament?
Inoue-san, do you know anything about this?
I learned that the pairings will be announced at the start of each match.
As?
Finally the time has come.
Yes.
Please enter the court. Let's start.
Oh! Terry! Look over here!
Tone! You are wonderful!
What?
Do they already have fans?
They are already idols.
Well, they're good looking.
I assume they've already been in magazines.
Baker doesn't just look at their skills, but also their personality and charisma, and finds the right market for each one.
That's how Richard Baker works, the creator of stars.
Check it out. It was to be expected of the Griffey brothers.
They have already completely captivated the hearts of Japanese youth.
There is?
Stephanie...
Take a closer look at the tennis that the West Coast of America Visiting Team...
...the new generation of tennis stars will show you.
At the conclusion of the tournament, I will show them a proposal to do business with them.
Please consider carefully.
My career as a tennis player starts today.
My goal is to be number one in the world.
My first obstacle to achieving this goal is the Junior Japanese Kantou Team.
What an insignificant way to start...
In a few moments the first game will start. Doubles 2.
I wonder who will be the first.
On behalf of the Kantou Junior Guest Team:
Sanada Genichiro!
Atobe Keigo!
Atobe!
The winner will be...
...I!
You always like to get attention.
Sorry for standing out more than you.
Hey! Is it okay to send those two right away to start?
Keeping them in reserve would be a waste.
It means that Coach Sakaki has already started the battle.
An incredible duo.
AND.
That made me remember... Even though the two fought each other at camp, they never played together.
You're right.
Will it be all right?
Against them will play, on behalf of the American Team:
Billy Cassidy!
Michael Lee!
It's time. Are ready?
I never thought I'd end up teaming up with you.
It will be interesting.
Whether in singles or doubles, whoever my partner is, I will do my best.
Obviously. You shouldn't relax just because I'm your partner.
How do we do the trainings?
We don't need that kind of thing, do we?
You're right.
It's just a temporary duo.
Let's decide as we play.
The first match determines the pace of the tournament. It's your responsibility to pace yourself well.
Understood?
It can leave. I'll do my best.
I'm going to blow these Americans away.
Don't say nonsense.
Let's go.
He really isn't the type to fit in with the way I am.
You know what you should do, don't you?
The result should be as spectacular as possible.
The goal is to please the sponsors.
Clear.
After all, a game that ends too quickly is boring.
Boss.
What kind of players are our opponents?
It's just Japanese players.
That's enough.
Match of a set. Atobe Service.
You were chosen in America, but so what?
15-0.
Oh! That! Very good!
An ace right at the start!
30-0.
That!
They're attacking!
Two points in a row!
The American team adopted the strategy of wait and see what happens.
Since you're asking for so much, let's do the stitches quickly.
40-0.
As expected from Sanada and Atobe.
Yes but...
...the match hasn't started yet.
I'm done with this!
I got it!
Game for Sanada-Atobe. 1-0.
Sanada, don't get in my way. Understood?
I say the same.
Wow! It surprised me!
They are not as weak as they seem!
They're pretty good.
But they don't have a doubles combination.
AND. I got the feeling those two are singles players.
But the time is not yet.
Very well, for now I will play with this.
If I hadn't done that, it wouldn't have been interesting.
Their movement is completely different from before.
They are finally showing what they really are.
Billy is the type of player who has a lot of power. The typical American.
Michael, on the other hand, is like me. He uses his flexibility to control the ball.
No, even though you're both flexible, I think he's different from you, Eiji.
There is? Like this?
Well, metaphorically speaking, you're the gymnast type, whereas Michael is the kung fu type.
It looks like the American duo got serious.
Yes, and it became an amazing match.
Game for Sanada-Atobe. 2-0.
Hey, Nakamura-kun, they're already two games behind. Are you sure there's no problem?
Yes, I'm sure. Only played two games.
They're just warming up the engines.
There's nothing to worry about, so enjoy the game, please.
There's nothing to worry about, is it, Mr. Baker?
The score is only favorable for one side, but it seems that the game level is already equalized.
I'll be done with this in a heartbeat!
Here it is!
The Invisible Swing!
Game for Sanada-Atobe. 3-0.
Very good! This is the way!
The American team cannot have such a low level.
Isn't it, Sanada?
At least you could try to sync up with me a little bit.
Hey Michael.
Did you see that last punch from that guy?
Saw. I didn't know the Japanese team was so good.
I think it's time for us to show what we're capable of.
No not yet. They still haven't shown us all of their techniques.
Let's watch them for one more game.
Yes, boss.
Now it's your turn to show your technique.
The Rondo towards Destruction!
Surprise yourself with my strength!
Game for Sanada-Atobe. 4-0.
Here it is! The Rondo towards Destruction!
Oh! It's not good at all...
Do not worry. No problem.
Very good. It's time to start the show!
It's mine!
The fun starts now!
0-15.
What a shot.
Incredible.
Wow.

These two from Team USA...
...were hiding all this power.
Billy is very athletic, he participated in several rodeo championships...
... and Michael trained in kung fu so much that he can be considered a master.
Atobe-san and Sanada-san also didn't show all of their skills.
In the next episode of The Prince of Tennis: The Baker Scenario.
Doubles cannot win with individual techniques alone, as incredible as they are.
