This famous quote was spoken by Kikumaru Eiji to Momoshiro Takeshi during their match against Hyotei in the Kanto Tournament. Faced with a pinch against his opponent's overwhelming skill, Momoshiro, a junior, is at a disadvantage and feels down. The quote we are introducing here is one that Kikumaru says to encourage Momoshiro. It was originally the words of Oishi, who is Kikumaru's official partner, but by repeating it to Momoshiro, he lightens the mood. It is a cool quote that shows the childish Kikumaru's more senior side. It is also a lesson for anyone who plays sports, that if you fight without giving up no matter what the situation, there is always a chance.

It was Sanada's honest feelings about the ball that was in the net, and these words caused the ball to fall into Tezuka's court, resulting in victory. It was the conclusion of a battle between two of the top players in the country, and it is both a famous scene in a passionate battle between men and a famous quote.

After the match, he promises Akutsu, his idol, that he will become a tennis player, making this a particularly dramatic scene in The Prince of Tennis.

"Rackets aren't meant to hurt people" is another famous quote from The Prince of Tennis. This quote was spoken by Tezuka, the captain of Seishun Academy, when he was in his first year of junior high school. These are the words Tezuka uttered when, after being bullied by his senior and easily winning a match, his senior hit Tezuka in the arm with his racket. This may seem like an obvious thing to say, but it's also a very sensible remark, as there are many characters in The Prince of Tennis who excel at rough play and players who use rackets as weapons. These words reveal the personality that Tezuka had, already formed from a young age.

This time, we've ranked the best quotes from The Prince of Tennis. Because The Prince of Tennis focuses on game scenes, there isn't much dialogue.

This is a very enjoyable work that goes beyond the realm of tennis, so I recommend it.
