English Dub Review: The Prince of Tennis II U-17 World Cup “Zero Senses Tennis”

Posted on by

Overview

Continuing the World Cup Semifinals is Team Germany’s Tezuka versus Team Japan’s Yukimura in the #2 singles. Tezuka is now their opponent, so Team Japan goes all out to gain victory against their former teammate.



Our Take

The intense battle between Tezuka and Yukimura takes center stage in this episode, delivering a full-length match that remains unresolved by the end. The stakes rise with each serve as counter moves and new techniques come into play, leaving the outcome uncertain. Despite moments of intrigue, the pacing feels somewhat uneven, and the match struggles to maintain consistent excitement.

While the ongoing duel showcases the characters’ unique styles and abilities, it’s hard to ignore the inconsistencies in animation and presentation. These distractions detract from the overall experience, making it challenging to fully immerse in the high-stakes narrative. Still, glimpses of strategy and skill keep viewers intrigued enough to see how it all unfolds.

Overall, the episode sets the stage for one hell of a match-up between the two. With Japan’s prior doubles victory ensuring the team remains competitive, the resolution of Tezuka and Yukimura’s match could have significant implications. With any luck, there should be a proper outcome of this fight despite how wacky and disproportionate the proceedings make it out to be as feels like it wants to be a Dragon Ball Z battle more than a tennis match…
