‘The Prince of Tennis’ has never quite gone away, but last year we had a blast with an anime season that continued the original series. ‘The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup’ he got fully into the arc of the world copy of Takeshi Konomi’s manga and introduced us to a bunch of international players… And when he finished, it seemed that we had to say goodbye to Ryoma until further notice.
The World Cup isn’t over yet
Luckily, you won’t have to wait another ten years, because MSC and Studio Kai have already confirmed that the anime returns with a new season called ‘The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup Semifinal’.
These chapters will adapt the semifinal match between Japan and Germany in the U-17 World Cup. The first part of ‘U-17 World Cup’ could be seen on Crunchyroll and in the end it has remained at 13 chapters, so it is most likely that the following of ‘The Prince of Tennis II’ will also be around that number.
And if we are going to have a season to play the semifinals, it would be very rare for the anime to leave us hanging and not launch another one in the future to close the tournament with the final match.
The release date hasn’t been fully confirmed yet, but we can wait.”The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup Semifinal’ by 2024, maybe winter or spring at the earliest. For now, its international broadcast has not yet been confirmed, but considering that on Crunchyroll we have both the original series, OVAs, and the most recent anime… It is very likely that we can follow it there as well.
‘The Prince of Tennis’ is the story of Ryoma Echizen, who has an enormous talent for tennis and tries to make his way as a player. But beyond titles and championships, Ryoma’s great ambition is to defeat his father, who is a great legend of this sport.
