The final match is on! Both Ryoma Echizen and Genihiro Sanada (aka Emperor) are really fierce competitors. Ryoma seems to be tiring, but Genihiro seems to be going strong. Genihiro’s signature move, the “Furin Kazan”, comes at Ryoma hard and fast, giving Genihiro a major advantage. But it also gives Ryoma the chance to figure out how to counter that move. Even though the countermove causes him pain, he uses it over and over. Genihiro finds a countermove to the Ryoma’s countermove, and it goes back and forth for a while with an intensity that few people can handle. While this is going on, Genihiro sees a representation of Ryoma’s potential. Who will win? Later, the losing team snubs the championship ceremony. They are such sore losers that they don’t care how they look to the officials or the other teams going to the nationals. Before going to the Nationals, Seishun has some fun at the beach with some of the other schools. The art, as always, is quite detailed and expressive, especially with the illustrations of Ryoma during the tournament, depicting his exhaustion and determination to win.
IN SUMMARY:
Tension mounts as the game goes on! Who will come out on top?? |
