Season 3

The Prince of Tennis Season 3 — watch online on iFILM: 22 episodes from 2002 pitting Seishun against their most dangerous opponent yet. Hyotei Academy has the players, the budget, and the attitude to match.

Kaidoh opens the season with intensive special training, but the real pressure arrives with Hyotei. Kawamura's "Scud Serve" and its evolved form the Hadoukyuu drive several matches to the absolute limit — tiebreaks that stretch well past the point of comfort for either side. The question of who keeps a regular spot resurfaces internally at the same time the external challenge mounts. The final two episodes, "Tezuka's Decision" and "Farewell, Tezuka Kunimitsu", signal a shift at the team's core that the next season will need to answer.

The most emotionally loaded stretch of the series so far, with real consequences attached to each match result. Stream The Prince of Tennis Season 3 online on iFILM — every episode counts.
