OMFG OMFG. That hit that we saw at the end of 218 was a direct blow to Fuji's HEAD. It rendered him temporarily BLIND. FUJI IS BLINDED. BLINDED!!! *shocked* I did not think Akaya is that...ruthless. ;____; Ok the shock has passed and I will recount this chappie.

TeniPuri gets the cover this time and color pages! The opening page is color!Tezuka in Kyuushuu trainging. :3 Then it's a pretty 2 page color spread of Fuji. *_* And the beginning shows Fuji sitting on the ground... oh hell I'll quasi-translate.

Genius 219: Fuji Smiled

Seigaku cheerleaders: Fuji-senpai-----!!
Ryoma: !
Kirihara: Che

Seigaku: Ohoh--- he stood up.
Seigaku: As expected of Fuji-senpai who dodged it! (something like that >_> they're praising him. all you need to know)
Arai: That was close. Kick that bastard's ass!!
Ryuzaki-sensei: Are you all right...Fuji?
Fuji: Un. I'm fine. The match will continue...

Fuji: /I can't see...!?/

/It seems I have to play seriously....../
/Found the weakness!/

Fuji: /My head got a bad hit----/
Fuji: /There's temporary blindness/
Fuji: /Oh no. How did I make such a big mistake./
Fuji: /I actually/
Ryuzaki-sensei: That guy hit your body on purpose.

Ryuzaki-sensei: Fuji could it be you......

Ryuzaki-sensei: F-Fuji!?
Fuji: This match...
Fuji: I definitely cannot cower from this match!

Fuji: Wuah!!

Kirihara: What kind of a serve is this!?

Horio: Ba-bastard!!
Momo: That bastard did it on purpose!!
Ryuzaki-sensei: You can't be careless with Kirihara. You need to find his weakness and fight.
Announcer: Game Kirihara 1-3!!
Kirihara: 13 minutes have already passed. I will make you pay double.

Announcer: GAME Kirihara 2-3!!
Announcer: GAME Kirihara 3-3!!
Announcer: GAME Kirihara 4-3!!
Horio: F-Fuji-senpai is doing badly... (something like that >_>)

Kirihara: Even though you can't see, you're still pretty good huh.
Fuji: ha ha ha (breathing)
Ryuzaki-sensei: !
Ryuzaki-sensei: /This isn't good. That guy found out!?/
Seigaku: Sigh Fuji-senpai looks like he can't see anything.
Seigaku: Ah, that means senpai's head was...

?: He got it!?
Rikkai: !
Marui: No way!? something something (youkofujima: basically he's saying that those types of balls should be impossible to volley back. Or be caught when you can't see. ; I couldn't translate it very well...but you get the idea. thanks jie jie <3)
Kirihara: This is...
Kirihara: only a fluke!!

Fuji: /...I can feel it./
Fuji: /The self-made cage is gone---/

Kirihara: /This guy!/
Ryuzaki-sensei: He has far exceeded my expectations...
Ryuzaki-sensei: This kind of genius has been latent at Seigaku.

ok...I translated everything again. >_> It was so compelling! I couldn't stop! Yukimura...you better slap the elf when you get back. SLAP HIM HARD. You do not blind people...you just don't. T_T Especially not FUJI! But man Fuji was so cool...doing the closing eyes thing. I hope he kicks elf ass... Sorry Aka but I like Fuji better. >P Ugh that was just mean. ;_; Yukimura will be disappointed in you, Akaya! Bad elf. fhdaj;fdk;a Oh yes one more thing... WHY is the chapter called "Fuji Smiled"?! He did not smile...
