"Little Ju, what's your dream?"
Sanada Kiku answered brightly, "To beat my big brother!"
Dark thoughts: To trample him underfoot! My brother is my greatest enemy!
And so,
After losing to Genichiro yet again, Kiku stopped being cheerful.
With egg-shaped eyes and tears welling up, he ran away, shouting as he went, "I hate you, Genichiro!"
He hated his big brother most of all!

After losing to Genichiro for the 10,086th time, Sanada Kiku was bound to the Rat Race System and began secretly grinding from scratch. This included, but was not limited to, learning Zone in the basketball world and learning the Dying Will Flame in the Reborn! world.
Convinced he'd reached max level, Kiku arrived at Rikkai with confidence and said cheerfully, "Genichiro! I'm going to beat you!"
His dark inner monologue: Oniichan, your nemesis has arrived!

A cheerful little ray of sunshine came to Rikkai. Every day, he wore a bright smile and acted like a happy puppy, constantly challenging Sanada Genichiro, until
When he was about to lose to Genichiro in a tennis match,
The happy puppy cried so hard he could barely breathe, shouting, "I hate Genichiro most of all!" At the same time, it was as if he had awakened a hidden power: flames appeared around him, his eyes lit up, and he fought back to win all five sets in a row.
Rikkai: The power of a sad puppy is truly terrifying.

Rikkai's first-year tennis prodigy has two modes.
When he's sunny and cheerful, his combat power is only five. But make this kid cry, and
The sad puppy will knock you out with a single punch.
