Prince of Tennis: The Hotheaded Squad

Apart from Kito, none of the other members of Higa Middle School could confidently defeat any of the top four warriors from Rikkai University, such as Tenhoji. Even if Kito faced the main force, his chances of winning were slim.

Hopefully, in this book, the protagonist can cultivate more rivals. Helping to cultivate rivals is also a kind of wisdom and vision. The strong are fearless of any challenge. Let's have some intense clashes, unlike the previous book where the protagonist got involved with U17 too early and only cared about his own dominance. A heated competition among students from the Golden Age would also be great, allowing them to improve together and then lead the protagonist to defeat the Diamond Age.

Chapter 22 didn't even manage to injure the opponent, which is a bit annoying. The opponent even made a move. Is this still Higa Middle School?

The protagonist is a third-year student when a new tennis star arrives. The new star is very strong but arrogant and lacks a sense of responsibility towards the club. He is a lone wolf. The protagonist keeps trying to train him, believing that he can take over the tennis club after the protagonist leaves.

It's one thing for the protagonist to be invincible, but what makes Kite so special? During the same period, Tezuka and Ten'i didn't even know how to do it, while Kite had already reached Ashura level, and Atobe had already reached the Atobe Kingdom level. Fuji didn't even have Aoi Fubuki, let alone Six Returns or Heart's Eye.

The buff to Kinoshita is a bit excessive. In the new Prince of Tennis, there's only one player with a double-wielding style, and that was taught by Ohumaru. Did being with the protagonist somehow increase his talent to the point where he's stronger than Tezuka?

Hanamura Aoi is outrageous, she's ruined. How can she continue coaching? Treating her own players like tools... That's absurd. You don't need to go to such lengths to flatter her. Is she trying to make the protagonist progress too quickly and find someone to hold him back?

The last few chapters have been poorly written. Just completely crush the middle school students; stop with the "building up the climax" trope. The gap in skill is obvious. This plot... Is toxic.

It's fine if the protagonist is strong, and it's also acceptable for teammates to become stronger under the protagonist's influence. It's normal for various supporting characters from the original work to change, especially those whose storyline didn't involve any interaction. The real question is, how did those characters, who followed the original plot without any connection, manage to increase their strength? That's ridiculous!

It's fine for Kite to be a bit stronger on the protagonist's side, but it's a bit unreasonable that Sanada could fight him to a tiebreaker using Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain and Lightning with Kite's Ashura and Dark Strike Ball. It's better to set Kite up with some reserves; otherwise, it really feels like the power levels are inconsistent.
