Professional athletes are afraid as hell injuries, especially at there knees and this guy is hitting his knee with the racket? If the academy was mine i would have tell him not to come back because his not a serious person.

Viper should've smashed his own face instead of his knee with that racket. :D

So Viper set up a trap and he trapped in his trap because he's trying to trap his enemy but unfortunately his enemy trap him while he caught in viper's trap xD

Rewatching this and the voices sound a little different than in later episodes... Kaidou's voice is lacking that deep growl-y sound and Eiji's voice is slightly deeper and not so nasally. Guess the voice actors hadn't quite settled into their roles yet. Even Ryoma's voice seems a bit higher.

Kaidou is strict with himself as usual... Hitting his knee with the racquet until it was bloody was overkill though. But of course he's super pissed about being outsmarted by and losing to a first year.

Holy $hit! The bloody racket! That hitting shook me, so unexpected... Very brutal indeed... If POT got a re-adaptation and they included this scene with better graphics, I'd probably be even more horrified. The ending song is great.

These guys were getting tired after 3 games? They aren't some schlubs off the street. They're both quality tennis players. They've clearly played 3-set games before. Kind of dumb that they're trying to sell us on them behind exhausted so soon.

What was snake boy trying to do, amputate his own leg with his racket?

kaido was facing all deep shots throughout and echizen was facing wide 'snake shots'. And I assume they were going at it for atleast an 30 minutes in the sun. Thats way more than enough to tire proffessional high school players.

That is a really slow match if only 3 games takes at least 30 minutes
