Baby Steps

Trying to hurt E-chan by hitting a ball into his face?

what i find strange is that the audicne, which is usually very vocal against cheaters and unsportman-like players (not here, in mangas in general), hasnt booo-ed this guy yet. 

I expect it to happen anytime soon.

my moral standards can't be very good seeing as i actually like this guy's borderline cheating. it's interesting to see how many tricks he can come up with, and how maruo deals with the unexpected.

I just got done doing a marathon reading of Kuroko no Basuke, and this guy has nothing on the Generation of Miracles. Ei-chan, you can beat him! Also, brag that you have a hot girlfriend! I bet he doesn't have anyone!

Takagi:

This is a nozzle. Specifically, as the French would put it, a douche nozzle. 

That's what you're being right now.

Stop it.

What bugs me about this creep isn't the stuff like starting slow or doing the sudden serve, which is legal and just an extension in a way of "change the pace" tactics. 

It's the stuff that's flat out illegal but it's hard to call you on.  Like faking an injury, or deliberately hitting Ei-chan with the ball and saying "oops", or going "I wasn't ready" when you totally were it's just that the other guy had you dead to rights with a service ace.  At that point you're not just competing hard, you're a lying cheating sack of putrescence.

Exactly! Seeing him fake injury and shit pisses me off! Be a goddamn sport about it! Bloody asshole.

that takagi is pretty interesting, i like his style.

Ei-chan should fight him with his own poison. Piss him off. But then again, during the match versus Ide, I was hoping Ei-chan would feed off the cheering for his opponent and aim to silence them by beating Ide thoroughly, but it went differently. So my thought definitely don't mirror the author's.

Fuck you, Takagi. Play like a man you damn bitch. Do you have balls underneath that? Fucking sissy.

It certainly is annoying and he lacks sportsmanship but nevertheless it's considered valid and  very good tactics!

Even top players do that. Look at how Djokovic serves. Whenever the flow of the match is to the opponent's, and it is his serve, he bounces the ball for a very long time, then serving, just barely making the time limit for service.

We're all thinking it.

Takagi is a douche.
