An excellent match indeed. The Tezuka impersonation was good and the synchro was something else. Although how did Atobe and Niou come back during the last set when Niou could not return serves? During his opponent's service games, Atobe and Niou would never be able to win because theoretically, Atobe can only score every other point. Anyways, it was interesting

This is why Nizou and Atobe are my favorite characters out of the series. Excellent match.

Well that was a weird match. Niou was on the ground for half the match.

I don't get it either, and I don't feel like rewatching the episode or read the rules to try to make sense out of it. Just watched the whole 10 episodes and feel tired. Anyone who understood it cares to explain? If Niou really couldn't receive serves or serve himself during the whole time, I don't get how Atobe end up winning.

Pupinaccio. The anime is really just running with this joke and giving Niou new catchphrases.

Great match! I just read this in the manga the other day, it was nice to see it animated. It was an unexpected doubles pair but it worked out well, I was also pretty stoked we got to see a bit of Atobe/Tezuka doubles although it didn't really feel too different from their singles games since they were just using special moves and not much strategy. At the end though, with the synchro, we did see more obvious teamwork which was good. Please more doubles pairs with players from different schools!

Kabaji leaves the camp, for violating the rules to protect Atobe. The scene had a bit more detail in the manga, I think the emotional impact was lost here since it was so quick.

It's time to throw my logic out of the window again for POT lol xD

Kidding aside, my fave part is where Niou transformed as Ryoma xDD Atobe being more passionate than usual is also good to see.

I love Niou, we haven't seen a lot of him but he's an entertaining and hype character for sure.
