Intro |
Despite a five-star doubles lineup, Yamabuki has their work cut out for them this year. Last year, they managed to blank most of their opponents by banking on the star power of Jr. Senbatsu Sengoku Kiyosumi and two National-level doubles pairs. Unfortunately, both Kiyosumi and the Jimmies have been vulnerable this season, thus rendering their strategy of collecting their victories through the first three wins ineffective. With their final trump card Akutsu Jin out of the picture, Yamabuki's singles lineup became a liability. After losing to Fudoumine during the second round of the Kantou Tournament, Yamabuki won one of the two consolation spots to secure a ticket to the Nationals. Unfortunately, Yamabuki was unsuccessful in filling the void created by Akutsu's absence and was eliminated in the second round of the Nationals. |
