Tennis: Traditional Chinese Martial Arts from the Start, Dominating the World Tennis Scene

In his previous life, he was a master of traditional Chinese martial arts. Stricken with a terminal illness while pursuing a Grand Slam, he collapsed on the court during the final. When he opened his eyes again, he had become Tsugetsu Ryusuke in the world of Prince of Tennis: the eldest grandson of a zaibatsu family, blessed with extraordinary talent.

When names like Tezuka, Fuji, Yukimura, and Byodoin appeared before him, he decided to take up martial arts tennis again and achieve the three-crown triumph he had once left unfinished.

On the Edge of the Heart, his Sky-Piercing Cannon smashed U17 high school players, and after defeating more than a dozen in a row, he entered the Dark Force realm. Akutsu of Yamabuki provoked him? A Taiji whip shot taught him a lesson, crushing him 6–0. Against Kato Shinichi, his effortless lifting of the heavy and nimble handling of the light, mixing feints with truth, left even a former pro astonished.

This isn't ordinary tennis. His splitting-palm serve flies like a cannonball, his whip-hand return cracks like a steel lash, and his head-on volley is as fast as lightning. While others are still working on the basics, he's already using martial arts to utterly outclass his opponents on the court.

From U17 to the World Cup, from Akutsu to Byodoin, from Borg to Q.P., every genius will learn that in the face of martial arts, tennis is just another battlefield. He doesn't want to win. He wants to crush them. Becoming the God of Tennis? That's only the beginning.
