Psidai: GATE xover/sidestory - The Sorting

I'm... er... almost somewhat embarrassed that I actually wrote this out. But my muses just wouldn't shut up about it until I wrote everything up.

Unfortunately, it's a scene that's smack in the middle of the side-story/xover thing that cashew and I were talking about earlier. So without the complicated setup before, the content of the story as in why's what happening is probably going to be incomprehensible to anyone else. Oh well. Read at your own risk.

Disclaimer: I don't own Prince of Tennis. I don't own Harry Potter. I don't own GATE manga, though the actual constellations and mythology we're using is probably public domain.

Addendum: Added the girls goggling over Ohtori and snipped a few parts to make the word count 5666. XD

Addendum (6/2/05): Corrected the name error for Kentaro and some other stuff.

I feel slightly better about the GP thing in the PoT manga now...

Got the following off of FET:

looks like he was mad at Oishi for lising 0-6 to Tezuka.
-Raiii

Also Eiji's reason fo being acrimonious has been revealed. Wordless scene of his fustation and anger at Oishi is simply one of the best panels in PoT.
-Tsu

It is about the hidden injury or losing to Tezuka so badly? I'd lean towards to concern over the injury... but my japanese sucks and I can only make out him calling Oishi an idiot. The page where he grabs Oishi with tears in his eyes was great. He seems to be playing with a real purpose and up 4-0 now...
-jewbagel

If it turns out that Eiji's "I'm not playing doubles anymore" is just a momentary lover's tiff thing and not actually meant seriously (or at least not irreversible once Oishi recuperates from his injury and gets himself back up to speed), then I'm not angry with Konomi anymore. *crosses fingers*

Unfortunately, I don't have the chinese chapters to make my own determination. So optimistic is the only thing I can be right now. *sigh*

Easter egg in PoT? (aka. Who the hell?)

So, episode 39, where the Regulars undergo Inui's hell training and threat of Penal-Tea in order to prepare for the Ginka match, in the scenes where they were running laps in the very beginning of the episode, I saw these:

( cut for spacing )

I did a double take and nearly spat something out the first time I noticed it. So who are those freaky people who are definitely NOT Seigaku students or even PoT characters sort of running with the Seigaku tennis team? My theory is that they're self insertions by the animators. But it is kinda freaky...
