The Prince of Tennis has been a serious Tennis anime (so far), but it looks like the creators want to switch things up a bit. A random sci-fi element like time-traveling has been thrown into the mix.
I think it will be fascinating to see how it will tie into the plot of Ryoma! Rebirth Movie The Prince of Tennis. The movie has many more surprises up its sleeve so let’s go down them one by one!
Ryoma! Rebirth Movie The Prince of Tennis will premiere on 3rd September in Japanese theatres. New visuals have been released for the upcoming film.
Completely original story
Synopsis released

There, he happens to encounter Sakurano, who is entwined with a gangster. ⚡ Ryoma tries to help in a tennis match, but for some reason space-time begins to distort … Exclamation question mark

Yes, you guessed it right! The new film is taking place, not in Japan but in America, the land of hip-hop.
By now, you all know that the film takes place in the three-month time gap between The Prince of Tennis and the New Prince of Tennis. However, did you know that Ryoma had departed to America in order to train?
After winning the finals in the national tournament, Ryoma visited the US alone to train. He encounters Sakuno, an old classmate there, and notices that she is entangled with some gangsters.
Ryoma hits a ball to help Sakuno, but the ball clashes with another ball thrown by a mysterious person in a wheelchair. Space-time begins to distort, and Ryoma is transported to the time when his father was an active player.

Three new characters and their cast have been revealed for the series. These are American characters with whom Ryoma will engage in a rap battle.
Character | Cast | Other Works |
Wolf | Tomokazu Sugita | Gintoki Sakata (Gintama) |
Boo | Shunsuke Takeuchi | Producer (The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls) |
Foo | Ryota Takeuchi | Wakatoshi Ushijima (Haikyu!!) |
Tomokazu Sugita is just as surprised by the decision as we are. He has even commented, “How should it be done? A done thing doesn’t change, but is Sugita sane? Sane!!”
The situation is weird enough to actually make us question the staff’s sanity, but I cannot deny that I am also looking forward to how this bizarre twist will work out in the end.
